Saved by Swimming.

By the Australian mail we have for
the first time full particulars of the
Quetta disaster, and the narratives of
the survivors, says an English journal.
We subjoin the principal points in the
graphic statement of Miss Lacy, un-
doubtedly the most interesting figure
in the events of that calamitous night in
Torres straits. Miss Lacy says she was
sitting in the saloon writing o letter,
the other ladies being practicing for q
concert, when, without q moments
warning, they heard a loud grating
sound, the ship rocked violently, and a
chorus of confused noises broke out on
deck. Miss Lacy rushed on deck, and
already the ship was sinking. "Going
aft" she says, "was like walking up q
hill. The part to which I was making
my way wa high above the water" But
hardly had she reached the aft part of
the vessel than it, too, rapid
ly sank, and in o moment 200 human
beings and o large number of sheep
"were oil in the water in o heap, the
people struggling and shrieking ter
ribly." Miss Lacy, with great difficulty,
managed to extricate herself from the
confused mass. and, being a practiced
swimmer, succeed in getting clear of
the Whirlpool caused by the sinking
ship. She then relieved herself of all
superfluous clothing, and swan about
for two hours, in the hope of coming
across some of the survivors. At mid
night she heard q cry from q distance, and
swimming toward it, found that it came
from q raft, rudely and hastily con-
structed by the chief officer. She
availed herself of this temporary refuge,
and remained on the raft until noon
next day, when, finding that il was
making no progress, and fancyirg that
she saw an island on the verge Of the
horizon, Miss Lacy determined to trust
once more to her swimming powers,
and, in spite Of the strong remon-
strances of the chief officer she Owed into
the ocean and struck out in the direc-
ton she had marked out for herself.
But she had grieyously miscalculated
the distance of the island. All that
afternoon and far into the night she was
In the water without lifebelt or support
Of any description, relieving herself by
swimming alternately on her face, back
and sides. She said she felt no fear Of
the sharks that abound in these tropical
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 sum
stroke. She is under the impression
that for . partof the time she was asleep
in the water: At length, after being
twenty hours altogether alone in Torres
strait. aha vaa nfckod min an a1mosk

ELECTION LAWS.
rho.. of south CAROLYN. said to b. uncou.
stltutiOnal.

Those Of South Carolina Said to BE Uncon.
stitutional.
The majority report IN the case of Miller
versus Elliott from the Seventh South
Carolina district, has been submitted to
the house committee on elections by
Chairman Howell. The report is some
what sensational, in that at the very be-
ginning it declares that the entire South
Caroline registration and election laws are
unconstitutional. The basis for
this declaration % stated in
the report, is that the state law
imposes q number Of restrictions
upon the exercise OF suffrage which are in
conflict with the state constitution.
Whereas, the constitution deprives q per.
son Of the right Of suffrage only upon con-
viction for murder, felony, dueling and
treason, the state Law prohibits the exer-
else of the right Of suffrage by persons
who were entitled to register in 1881 and
neglected to do so; by those who moved
into the state and neglected to register at
the first ensuing registration, and by those
who sold their registration certificates for
q valuable consideration.
The report states that Q number of me-
groes have been compelled by poverty,
while waiting the maturing of their cotton
crops, to negotiate their certificates to
traders, who Immediately sendthem to po-
litical headquarters, with the result that the
negroes are permanently d~isfranchised.
The report recites the fact that in certain
precincts what amounted to an educational
test land therefore any illegal test was i'm
posed by lettering the ballot boxes, which
were separate in the case Of each Office,
and that voters we're deceived BY an in.
territorial shifting % tie boxes, 80 that The
judges Ct election were able to throw out
all Of the ballots cast in the wrong boxes.
There was. also. says the report, evidence
Of ballot box stufing. Summing up, it il

ATLAS, of Libya, is said to have dis
covered the use of globes, and Greek
and Roman writer's made several allu-
sions to them. The celestial preceded
the terrestrial globe by many centu-
ries. The Oldest globe in existence,
dating from 1910, is now at Florence,
and, though less than eight inches in
diameter, gives LOIS stars. Five me-
tallic globes made by the Arabian as
tronomers in the thirteenth century are
still preserved, one belonging to the
British Royal Astronomical Society.
The terrestrial globe appears to date
from 1892. The first map on which
America appears was found among the
papers of Leonardo de Vinci at Wind
sor castle, and, as it lis drawn in eight
cores, it seems to have been intended as
a globe. The new terrestrial globe of
interest was that completed by Merca-
tor in 1541, having q diameter of six
teen inches. Various others succeeded,
until in 1892 Moflyneux constructed
several enlarged and improved globes
twenty-six inches in diameter, differing
little from modern globes except in
geography. One of these still remains
in the library of the Middle temple,
London. About the time Mollyneux's
work was done, Hues' "Treatise on the
Globes" was published, in Latin, and
quickly went through many editions
and translations. Ithas been reprinted

cided that Chinese have no right what
ever on mining lands in the United

ground to them is invalid, and amounts
TO an abandonment of aclaim. Measures
will now be taken, if an appeal is not
allowed, to GUST all Chinese miners in

reaching, and will lead to the abandon

The horses in Norway have q very
sensible way of taking their food.
They have q bucket of water put down
beside their allowance of hay. It is in
teresting to see with what relish they
take a sip of one and q mouthful of the
other alternately, sometimes only moist
ening their mouths, just as a rational
being would do while eating a dinner of
such dry food. A broken-winded horse
is scarcely ever seen in Norway, and the
question is if the mode of feeding has
not something to do with the preserva-
ton of the animals respiratory organs.

CHINESE doctors are very particular
about the distinction being very strictly
kept up between physicians and If.
geons, and would not trespass on one
snother's ground for the world; but
this delicacy of feeling has a rather dis
astrous effect on the patients pocket
sometimes. A Chinese gentleman was
struck by an arrow, which remained
fast in his body. A surgeon was sent
for. and, modestly requesting his fee
should be paid in advance, he broke off
the %protruding bit of arrow. leaving the
point imbedded in the wretched mans
body. He refused to extract il, because,
he said. medical etiquette forbids it;
the case is clearly one for a physician,
since the arrow is inside the body!
