ing figure in the events Of that calamitous
night in Torres Straits. Miss Lacy says
she was sitting in the saloon writing a let
ter, the other ladies being practicing for a
concert, then, without a moments warm
ing, they heard a loud grating sound, the
snip rocked violently, and chorus OF con-
fused noises broke out on deck.
Miss Lacy rushed on deck, and already
the ship was sinking. Going aft, she
says, twas like walking up hill. The
part to which was making my way was
high above the water But hardly had
she reached the aft part of the vessel than
it rapidly sank, and in a moment 200
human beings and a large number of
sheep ''were all in the water in heap,
the people struggling and shrieking ter
ribly." Miss Lacy with great difficulty
managed to extricate herself from the con-
fused mass, and, being a practical swim
mer. succeeded in getting clear of the
whirlpool caused by the sinking ship. She
then relieved herself of all superhuous
clothing, and swan about her for two
hours in the hope of coming across some
of the survivors.
At midnight she heard a cry from a dis
lance, and swimming toward it found that
it came from raft rudely and hastily con-
structed by the chief officer. She availed
herself of this temporary refuge, and re-
manned on the raft until noon next day,
when, finding that it was making no pro-
gress, and fancying that she saw an island
on the &c of the horizon, Miss Lacy de-
termined to trust once more to her swim
ming powers, and in spite of the strong
circumstances of the chief officer she
dived into the ocean and struck out In the
direction she had marked out to herself.
But she had grieviously miscalculated the
distance of the island.
All that afternoon and far into the night
she was in the water without llfebelt or
support of any description, relieving her
self by swimming alternately on her face,
back and Sides She said she felt no fear
Of the sharks that abound in these tropi-
cal waters, but the fearfully hot sun
scorched her terribly, and every now and
then she had to thrust her head under
water to save herself from sunstroke. She
is under the impression that for part of
the time she was asleep under the water.
At length, after being twenty-four hours
altogether alone in Torres Straits, she was
picked up in an almost exhausted condi-
ton by a boat belonging to the search
steamer Albatross. For some hours after
her timely rescue she was delirious, and
fancied herself living in a submarine
hotel, No more signal proof of the value
of swimming as a lady's accomplishment
has been furnished for many day than
this extraordinary experience of Miss
Lacy.

OCCULTISM IN FRANCE.
The Prevalence of Mystic Philosophy and
Psychic Science in Paris

Il
The anniversary Of the death of Allan
Kardec, the founder of spiritualism in
France, says the London Globe" has
just been celebrated with more than GUS
tomary honors. The faithful gathered in
large numbers round the weird granite
dolman and bronze bust raised in the GEM
entry of Pere.. Lachaise to the memory Of the
mystic Philosopher. Many of them, NOV
ed by spirits no doubt, delivered long
funeral orations. setting forth doctrine Of
their departed chief. and comparing them
with other occult creeds, which, it appears,
have assumed such extensive proportions
of late that the orthodox spiritulists would
feel alarmed at the influence of their rivals
were they not all united together in the
common struggle against materialism. In
fact, it is said that the occultists have be
come so powerful that the spiritulists have
been forced to come to terms with them.
On this point one of the high priests of the
faith has furnished me with some curious
details According to him there are no
fewer than 100000 occultists in the
world, of whom 10000. 900 are to be found
in America, $4,000 in Francesand as many
in other countries. not excepting England
The French capital alone possesses IS, 900.

Beautiful Women of Ecuador.

The females of Ecuador are proverbial
for their beauty, those among the aristoc-
racy being said to have the falrest COM
plexions in South America, while all pos
sess large, soft and expressive dark eyes,
the blacklist and most abundant hair, the
whitest teeth, well-rounded figures and
small hands and feet.
Like all women in the tropics, they ma
ture earl Y and fade quickly, but perhaps
their average span of forty years includes
more heart happiness than comes to women
of colder chimes in three-sc9re years and
ten, for these are harassed by no 'cark-
ing cares" or high ambitions. Incidence,
religious superstition, and faithfuIness
unto death are their most prominent char
acteristics; their passionate natures are
completely satisfied in the love of home,
husband, and children. and for them the
whole universe lies within the limits of
vision. What higher praise could be be-
slowed upon the women of any coun-
try?
To be sure, they are VIGOROUSLY untidy
in dress and habits, but the manta or pan
eulon, like the mantle of charity, covers a
of sins. AS the poncho, for men,
is the universal and most useful garment
for the middle and lower classes, answer
ing for coat by day, a coverlid by night,
an umbrella when it rains and basket
when there is anything to carry, the female
manta is worn by all classes, and is equal
ly indispensable, since it hides unkempt
hair and all defect of toilet. In all Ecu
ador there is not such thing as bonnet
or female hat, the most aristocratic ladies
going about the streets with their glossy
hair uncovered or shaded only by parasol

On several occasions members of the fam
lily narrowly escaped being killed by him.
One evening a sister started to go out of
doors. She passed too near him and he
sprang at her with great force, knocked
her through the door into the yard, so
badly injuring her that it was not thought
possible for her to live. His father pro-
vided for him before his death, leaving
property enough to maintain wretched
life through all these years. Itwas stipulat-
ed In the will that he should not be taken
to an asylum and that he should be kept
on the old homestead.

SLEEP.
GOOD NEWS.

While children sleep
They know not that their father tolls:
They know not what their mother prays-
Bending in blessing DER their beds,
Imploring grace for after days.
While children sleep
They never dream that others work
That they may have their daily bread;
When morning comes they rise and eat,
And never ask how they are fed.
While children sleep
They do not see the shining sun
They do not see the gracious dew,
In daily miracle of love,
Is ever making all things new.
Do we not sleep,
And know not that our Father works
With watchful care about our wayI
He bends in blessing from above
His love broods Ger us day by day.
Do we not sleep,
And never dream that others work,
Reaping the sheaves that might be ours?
We see not how the shadows fall,
Which mark the swift departing hours.
All, still we sleep!
Our drowsy eyes see not the light,
See not the hands stretched out to bless,
See not that waiting for us stands
Gods kingdom and his righteousness.

The lead and silver smelters which tried and failed few months ago, says the Lordsburg Liberal, to organize a trust for the purpose of squeezing a few more dollars out of the miners, last week made another effort and this time, it is claimed, have been success full in their efforts. The miners claim that under tine S'.,'' .cSime, acting each one for itssii, the smelte-s were able
 to sten. from ten to fifty pSr cent. Of the Salue of the ore. II this is . fact, the probabilities are that under the trust the only returns the miners will
 get for ore will be what the slag sells for when purchased by enterprising cities which wish to pave their streets.
