A valued correspondent sends the
n. o. Picayune the following from. Pilot
Town:
The United States lighthouse tender
Pansy left on the 18th inst, freighted
with bupys for the vicinity of Texas,
after placing many in the Louisiana dis.
trict, her last work being to locate them
at the mouth of Pascal 0utre.
Buoys whistle or speak for themselves,
affording a sort of nautical cheer duly
acknowledged as good work of the gov.
eminent, while kind personal acts rare
lY meet with adequate appreciation.
There is nothing so kingly as kindness.
The Pansy dropped anchor at GER
tain lighthouse just long enough to send
ashore a box redolent of Christmas
goodies" for two little children SO near
the great gulf that the noble hearted in
spector of lighthouses, Commodore d.
w. Mullan, U, s. N, feared Santa Claus
might be unable to reach them. SO was
combined freight for the sea-to warn
the brave seamen and yet room tor one
little Christmas box to warm the hearts
of two little children in the Lighthouse
by the Sea"
Fair winds and good seas attend the
Pansy in all her iourneyings.

Queer worlds Queer people Here are
men and women by thousands suffering
from all sorts of diseases, bearing all
manners of pain, spending their all on
physicians and getting no better, but
rather worse" when right at hand
there's a remedy which says IL can help
them because it's helped thousands like
them. Another patent-medicine adver-
tisement,' you say. Yes-but not of the
ordinary sort. The medicine is DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
it's different from the ordinary nostrums
in this
1t does what it claims to do, or ii
costs you nothingl
The way is this: You pay your drug
gist $1.00 for bottle. You read the di-
rections, and you follow them. You get
better or you don't. If you do, you buy
another bottle, and perhaps another. II
you don't get better,you get your money
back. And the queer thing is that SO
many people are willing to be sick when
the remedy's so near at hand.

SEARCHING FOR OLD OCEANS WAITS.
Once Proud Vessels Now Drifting
Hither and Thlther at Sea.
Some Of Them Are still Worth Pret-
ty Good Sized Fortunes,
And an Effort Will Be Made to Bring
Them to Port.

New YORK, November 1.-THE gales
and heavy weather of the last month have
added many derelicts to the number Of
such wanderers, and the idea of reward
has tempted several vessel agents and tug
owners to send out vessels to search for
those nearest the coast whose cargoes are
known to be valuable. In many cases
these vessels are comparatively new, and
they have been abandoned owing to their
being dismasted and uninhabitable.
Many of these vessels have been drifting
here and there for months, and scarcely a
day passes that some one of them is not re-
ported by incoming vessels. The records
of the Hydrographic Office, where such in
formation Is received and arranged, show
that on October 81 there were 27 wrecks
adrift In the North Atlantic Ocean. OF
these but IS are known by name, the 9TH
ers being so submerged as to prevent their
names being seen. These wrecks float in
various positions. depending to a great ex-
tent upon the cargo carried. Some are
sunk forward others have the bow well
out of water. Some lie on one side. while
others are totally capsized. When the
masts are standing and the hull shows
we'll above water, these wrecks can be
seen more readily; Dut tney are certainly
dangerous customers when the night is
misty and dark, and they are so little
above water as to be scarcely visible.
The American schooner Wyer G. Sar-
gent, which was loaded with lumber,
was abandoned March 81 near Cape Hat
teras. Her erratic wanderings have been
reported at irregular intervals ever since.
She was last seen on September 20, In lati-
tude 330 10, longitude $50 10, having drift
ed more than 2400 miles. She has a cargo
of mahogany which has been estimated to
be worth fully 100000.
Another famous wanderer Is the bark
Progress. which was abandoned June II
last in latitude 46o 90, longitude 40, just af-
ter she had passed through hurricane.
She has been seen many times since, as she
is floating high and is waited here and
there by the winds, being but little affect
ed by the current. The latest report from
her was on October 4, when she was passed
by the steamer Pennsylvania. At this
time close observation showed that her
masts were sadly broken, the rigging was
hanging loosely in all shapes, the matches
were open, ahd the seas were washing in
and out at every roll. Lying go close to
the steamship routes to Europe, she is well
known, If not we'll liked, by all the cap
tains along that route.
The following table gives some interest
ing figures in regard to these wanderers Of
the sea:
