A HEROINE OF THE OCEAN.
How Mrs. Clark Conquered h ships
Assailants and Saved Her Husband.

On the river Byram, a little stream
which divides the states of Connect,
cut and New York, is the village Of
Port Chester. In "A pretty cottage re-
sides a woman of unassuming man
ners, whose deed of hcroism will live
as long as stories of the sea are read
and deeds of proves cited for the en-
ulation Of others.
Jan. 3, 1855, a little after midnight,
and ON the ocean nearing st. Helena,
was the good American ship Frank
N. Thayer, commanded by Capt. Rob
ert X. Clark. Soon after the midnight
watch was changed the captain was
reused from a sound sleep by hearing
his name called in a tone of alarm.
Fearing that all was not well with
his ship he hurried up the companion.
way in his night clothes. As his head
appeared above the c~ompamionway he
received a number Of stabs in the
face, neck and head. but he managed
to see that his assailants were two Ma
nilla Indians, members of the crew.
He fell 10 the floor beneath, where
the Indians followed him and plunged
their knives into his side, leaving him
for dead. The carpenter, the lookout
man and the mate were killed. The
balance of the we're locked in or
terrified, andthe captain, his wife and
daughter were left to the mercy Of the
Infatuated Manila Indians.
The captain, faint from the loss OF
blood. was assisted to the cabin by his
wife. One of the lungs of the officer
was protruding. The brave woman,
with a nerve ms firm as adamant and
with a care as guarded as the skilled
physician, forced the vital parts back,
and sewed up the frightful wound.
She then b~audaged his face and head
and set herself 10 the task Of making
their position safe by securing the
windows to the cabin. arming her.
self and placing the wounded captain
in a position TO defend or assist in the
defense of the cabin.
The precaution was taken just III
time, for, firing of the vigil they had
kept about the captains cabin, they
determined to finish him. But he and
the intrepid woman ut his side repel-
led the mutineers, who had broken
open the cabin window.
What words can describe the cour-
age of this wife, who stood with firm
hand by her husbands side, ready to
do or die, hearing meanwhile the
tread Of the Indians thirsting for his
blood.
The skulking crew, by the courage
of the wife and captain. were at last
urged 10 action. One Of the Indians
jumped overheard. The other sought
refuge in the hold, and when dislodg
ed it was found that he had set the
ship on fire. He jumped overheard
and vac lost,

A BUTTERFLIES SOUL.

Through the field where the brown quails whistle
Over the ferns where the rabbits lie
Floats the tremulous dowu OF q thistle;
Is it the soul OF a butterfly
Seei how they scatter and then assemble
Filling the air while the blossoms fade.
Delicate atoms that whirl and tremble
In the slauling sunlight that skirts the glade
There goes the summers inconstant lover
Drifting and wandering, faint and far;

Watched by only the twilight star

The q. and O. Canal as a Railroad Bed.

The circular of Messrs John A.
Hambleton & Co.. the bankers, Issued
Friday, thus reviews the destruction
of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
Either the State of Maryland must
assume its liabilities and make it a
free waterway, as did the State of
New York, or the canal must be sold
for the purpose of constructing rail-
road upon its corpus. 1t is not likely
that the State will assume the liza
bilities of the canal and make it a
free waterway, so that it is more
than probable that the canal will be
sold to a railroad company, which
will construct railroad from the
coal fields to Underwater. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad would no
doubt like to get possession Of the
canal and use it to shorten its route
or to prevent any competitors who
would be willing to buy the canal,
which would be very valuable to any
railroad company. The State of
Maryland has put millions into it,
but the expenditure. although I'M
productive. serves the purpose in
tended and benefits the State and
people. At the last session of our
Legislature a movement was inau.
gurated to lease part of the canal
Cumberland to Williamsportl 10 the
Western Maryland Railroad. which
strikes the canal at Williamsport.
The movement failed. much to the
regret of the people of Baltimore.
The Legislature will be in session
next winter, and no doubt some dis
position will be made of the canal
and the 100000 repair bonds be pro-
vided for by payment, or some salts.
| factory guarantee from any purchaser
or lessee of the canal. If the canal
is sold outright it would bring
enough to cover the 100000 repair
bonds. and, probably, in addition
enough to pay something to the
holders of the S1,700,000 old nom
mortgage bonds and a dividend to
the State. The canal ought to bring
at least 81 100000"
