From the Boston Globe.
George j. Merchant, mate and the only
survivor Of the crew Of six on the Inflated
schooner Pearl, which was run down and
sunk on Aug. in the China sea by an
cle's home on Pelham street.
THE Pearl, he said, was a small trading
schooner OF 140 tons, and usually touched
ports among the Philippine islands, but on
the last voyage we were chartered at Pamay
for Hong Kong with general cargo.
Nothing OK any account happened until
the night of the disaster, when we were
within eight miles Of our destination.
AT O'Clock that evening the barometer
went down rapidly, and we made ready by
reducing sail to meet tornado.
myself and a man named Mayo were on
watch at IL o'clock, and at that time we
were hove to under q two-reefed foresail,
the wind having increased to gale.
suddenly VIC saw two side lights half
mile away aud, fearing collision, | told
Mayo TO get the fam lighted while would
arouse the crew.
Before the fam could be- lighted the
steamer was upon us, striking the Pearl on
the port side and cutting her almost in two.
I'VE began TO sink, l cut the lashings of
the boat, turned her over, but we could not
launch her, as Mayo's arm had been broken
by flying timber.

time broke over the boat, and tore up the
bottom boards, fastened them TO the rope at
the bow and threw them overheard. These
answered as drag and kept her head up to

broken arm, lay stretched QUE In the bottom
OF the boat gasping for the want Of drink

Throughout that day many an anxious
glance cast over the waters. There was
no sail in sight and the delirious cries of
Mayo were something awful. Then the
storm abated. Next morning l found my

Mayo.
This was terrible. yet he must be- buried.
So l raised the body as gently as possible
and launched it into the sea.

his place before the couple and pronoundel
the usual questions. BY some means he got
the names OF the bridegroom and the BRIDE
groom's father mixed up, and used the
fathers name all through the ceremony,

take, but thought it would be improper to
interrupt the ceremony and correct it; 80
when the minister asked: wilt thou.
Annie, take this man, ThomasT' she blush
ingly said: 81 will" The bridegroom hest
tatingly answered to the same name. and
the knot was tied. Thinking it was only
verbal mistake, and supposing that
it would be corrected when the mar
rage certificate was made out and the
notice was put in the newspapers, they said
nothing to DR.. Gosman about it, and after
short wedding tour made their home at
No. PIG Franklin street, in this city. On
the arrival OF the certificate they were dis
agreeably surprised to see the fathers name
still in place OF that of the bridegroom, and
the notices in the newspapers read
Thomas" instead of ~ siah." The bride
immediately wrote to DR.. Gosman, asking
him to rectify the mistake. According 70
the certificate, Miss Cornew married the
bridegroom's father, became her husbands
stepmother and her own mother-in- law,

From the ChautauquGn.
The average highlander does not know

when lying on the ground MORALLY wounded
he has been known to raise his head take
cool aim, aud fire parting shot at his au-

was fortunately present and translated
some very compromising documents. The

Though of noble birth his youth
was one of great poverty; and very
early in life he became wandering
minstrel, visiting the courts of most
of the German sovereigns, and
thus forming friendships with ROYALTY
and noted personages, many of which
went with him through life. To them
he sang his charming Isongs with pa
thetic accompaniment of his violin,
touching all hearts through the sweet
ness and pureness of his simple laws.
His life OF more than fifty years was
almost literally a homeless one. In a
touching appeal he entreated one of
his faithful friends to provide a refuge
for his autumn years, a place that he
might call his own.

Il QUEER WAY OF CHOOSING A
TVIFT,

1t has remained for a young clergy
man, a missionary, to take the palm
for a phlegmatic choice of wife.
Having decided that it would be add
visable to be accompanied to the mis-
sion field by IL wife, he undertook to Sc
lect her with his head, not thinking it
necessary that his heart need be consid
cred in the matter. He first made a
list of attributes desirable in the wife
of a missionary; then, as he went
about with the different young wo-
men of his acquaintance, he watched
for the development of any character
istics corresponding with his record.
When he discovered any he marked
Il point opposite the young woman's
name When the time came to make
the choice he offered himself to that
young woman who had achieved the
highest percentage inthis unique table
and alas was accepted. The only
redeeming feature of the transaction
is his admission made some years after
his wedding to friend. MY Wife"
he says, was never courted before her
marriage, but she has been assiduous-
lV since
