A notable instance CT feminine courage
was that which occurred in the wreck of
the British steamer Enterprise. She was
driven by eye one upon the shore of one
of the Andaman islands, which is the penal
settlement Of the West Indies. The steamer
dashed upon the rocks opposite the women's
prison. The wreck was seen by number
Of tho women convicts, aud they started for
tho rescue Slowly they forced themselves
against the storm, grasping the rocks and
other objects to prevent themselves from
being blown away. Upon reaching the
shore, although the breakers at times swept
high above their heads, they formed a
human lifeline, each woman grasping the
others hand. Then th, woman at the head
Of the line rushed into the sea, grasped a
struggling form aud, aided by her COM
panions, dragged ashore ono of the men
who had been swept from the wreck.
| Again and again the women entered the
water, and each time they returned with a
man who, had it not been for their heroic
aid, would surely have Deen drowned. OF
the elghtythree men, comprising the officers
and crow OF the Enterprise, only six were
saved, and everyone OF tho six was dragged
from the water by these women. They
should receive pardons for their bravery
and devotion.

Burlington Probably the Ilace.

There was such small attendance of the
members of the republican State committee
present at the meeting in this city that only
business Of minor Importance was discussed
and nothing was passed upun. The ques-
ton Of location of the next convention was
not considered at all, but it is probable that
Burlington will be selected. The last two
conventions were held at Montpelier. Chair
man +. W. Baldwin OF Barton will COM
municate with the members by letter and
get their views in that way il possible.

Brice, who purports to be from Ohio, may
not occupy his seat in the upper branch of
Congress. The republicans propose to chal-

is actually citizen of Now York, and if
this claim can be established the seat will of
course be declared vacant. In this event it
is not impossible that the Ohio delegation in
