Coopcd in a Capsized Vessel

No seaman ever knew more terrible
and unique experience than that which
fell to the lot of Capt. James Morse, OF
Phipsburg, Maine, all experience that
thrilled the seagoing world at that
time Capt. Morse had been overtaken
by terrible gale, and while Lying to"
one of the tremendous waves which
plunged along mast high tipped" the
vessel and she was instantly turned
bottom up. Captain Morse and q COM
panion were in the cabin at the time,
and as the deck was several feet below
the surface Of the sea they were impri-
soned there. They were in absolute
darkness, standing in water up to their
waists, seemingly helpless and doomed.
But Captain Morse and his companion
were not the kind of men TO surrender
to the seemingly inevitable until forced
to DO 50. Cropping about they found q
hatchet and decided to hew their way
to the upper air. Knowing that as
soon as an opening was made the air,
which was then shut in by the arch of
the inverted hull would escape, and the
water take its place. they were obliged
to work with the greatest caution lest
they make fatal leak before there was
IA hole large enough to permit of their
escape and so be drowned like rats inn
prisoned. For days they worked,
cutting away the ceiling and planks
until they could catch the CLEAN of
light through the thin wood in one
place, then cutting again until another
part was similarly cleared and so on
until the light, passing through the
Slight surface, marked the lines of q
square place large enough to admit the
free passage Of a mans body. Then,
when every possible preparation had
been made and there seemed to be
nothing more that they could do to in
sure the success of the final move, they
knocked out the obstructing square ard
crawled into the daylight as the water,
freed from the opposition of the COM
pressed air, followed them, and the YES
sci sank lower into the water until
the natural buoyancy Of the timber
checked her There they were, perch
ed on the curved surface OF a capsiZed
wreck, drifting at the mercy Of the seas.
But they had no idea of surrender.
Having escaped to the light they at
once set to work to build up a sort Of
signal station to attrack the attention
of any vessel that might chance to come
that way, and upon the top they fixed
a staff from which futtered q signal-a
shirt. Fortunately q brick-laden
schooner passing that way sighted the
signal Of distress, bore down upon and
rescued the men, who were almost ex-
hausted by their days of suffering there,
their torn hands showing how they had
labored there in the terrible darkness,
but they soon recovered, and no one
talking with the captain to-day would
suspect that he had once dug his way
out Of a scpulcher ofthe sea.

Saved from 4 War-timcs Sawboncs.
THE most terrible exhibition of bar
barrie cruelty I witnessed during the
war occurred at Richmond, KY" said
Capt. J. E. Elgin, of Louisville. 81
was with the gallant John Morgan, and
morc's the pity that the brutality l re-
fer to was perpetrated by one of our
men. lie was a young surgeon, just
out ola medical college, and his blood
was aiame with ardor for the Confed
eracy. When the battle was ended l
was placed i'll charge of one of the hos
pital corps We were going over the
field ministering TO the dead and dying,
and my attention was attracted by the
pitcous walls of a man close to the line
Of the federal intrenchments There
was such distresstul pathos in his
cries that hurried TO him. When l
got close enough to distinguish his
words heard him plead: For Gods
sake doctor, kill me! Don't cut my
legs off and leave me q cripple.
AT q glance | saw what was going
on. The pleading man was Union
soldier with only slight flesh wound
in the thigh of the right leg, which dis
abled him temporarily only. His tor
mentor was the enthusiastic young sur
seon, who had just joined our
command. The juvenile reprobate
had deliberately bound the poor
devil to log. and was leisurely prepar-
ing to saw off his left leg for no other
reason in the world than that he wanted
TO disable the soldier for further service
during the war. He had stripped the
mans leg bare to the thigh, tied q
string tightly around it seven inches
above the knee, and had marked of
with the point of his knife a streak
around the leg where he intended to
make the amputation. Ny duty was
plain. At first ! thought to shoot the
inhuman monster down in his tracks,
but realized that his punishment would
be sufficiently severe when John Nor
Gan and Basil Duke learned of his Of
fence, so | placed him under arrest,
marched him up before those men, and
told them what l had prevented him
doing. lie was promptly placed in
CHAINS, q court mdrliai soou tLleu iiiin
and sentenced him to be shot. Sufficient
influence was brought to bear, how
ever, TO save his life, though he was
cashiered from the army. by some
means he made his way north, began
the practice of medicine at Reading,
Pa, and to-day is the rankest hater OF
the south, perhaps, in the State OF
Pennsylvania

For the LAWYERS,

A good story is told Of Judge Kent,
the well known American jurist. A
man was indicted for burglary, and
the evidence showed tina. his burglary
consisted in cutting a hole through a
tent in which several persons wero
sleeping, and then projecting his hand
ana arm through the hole and attract
ing various articles.
1t was claimed by his counsel that,
as he never actually entered into the
tent with his whole body. he had not
Commute the offense.
Judge Kent told the jury that If
they were not satisfied the whole man
was involved in the crime they migh,
bling in verdict of guilty against SO
much of him as was thus involved.
The jury after brief consultation.
found the right arm, ri CHIT shoulder,
and the heal OF the prisoner guilty
OF the oifense of burglary.
The Judge sentenced the right arm,
right shoulder, aud head to imprison.
ment with hard labor in the State
prison for two years, remarking that,
a. to the rest OF the mans body, he
might do with it what he pleased.

THE RAINY DAY DRESS.

Mrs. Nj. S. Ingersoll tested her short
dress in Boston during the storm Of
last week. The Sunday Herald gave
the following account:
Boston's new tangled "storm
gown" or ''ra'ny day Dress" or "mud
less skirt" WAS put to severe test
last week, ant well did it perform
the duties to which it was Dedicated.
In spite Of the peltlrg rain and
liquid mud which cow rcd tie streets
and besmeared ordinary gowns, this
new dress emerged from the test as
clean as vi hen it entered the contest
with mud.
Its practical value was clearly estab
lished, and practical Boston
is full Of them--cannot fail to be i'm
dressed with the fact, ard it is prob,
able that every wardrobe will soon
include the reformed storm gown with
other dresses
That Is all it was expected to
accomplish. 1t had attracted some
attention. That was expected. Mrs
M. 5. lngersoil said she was not once
guyed by street gamins, although she
expected TO hear some ou,spoken
criticism from a keen.sighted street
Arab.
"Of course, people noticed IL
Authorization of my skirts" she said.
when relating her adventures, "and
lots of them turned to take second
look. The women were more curious
than the men, and l guess every
woman | passed took a good look at
my new gown. Several commented
upon it before | got out Of hearing,
and more than one exclaimed: 'Why,
that must be the rainydav dres' i.
Why, that isn't very bad,' with II
strong acce i, o IT, t.
81 heard one young lady say, Il
wouldn't be seen wearing such dress
on the street. Well, looked
around immediately, aud | noticed
that that young woman's dress was
covered with mud for space of sew.

which looked the better, clean ankles
or n muddy dress.
l did not feel at all strange in the
dress. Perhaps that is due to the
fact that my experience on the stage
accustomed mo to wearing all kinds
Of garments. Still, | do not see how
any woman could feel ,imil about
wearing that dress. Tho ankles are
amply protected by the boots, and
there is no disgusting daub of mud 10
dis6gure the skirt. 1t must be re-
membered that this is rainy day dress,
AMI that cleanliness is the FIRST thing
to be considered"

A SHORT TARIFF SERMON.
American Wages.


American Economistt
Our import duties are laid with a
view to covering the difference in cost
Of production here and abroad.
Labor cost, or wages, constitute
fully 90 per cent. of this cost Of pro.
duction.
Consequently our workmen receive
nearly all the benefit derived from
protection.
1t is conceded by all that American
wages arc from 60 to $50 per cent
higher than in England and from 100
to 1000 per cent. tighe than in other
countries.
The American farm laborer gets on
an average 500 aud found, while the
English farm lahorer gets but IS.
The American iron workers get
50 so per ton for pudding, while the
Ergllshman gets but SEQ.
The American potter gets three
times rs much for the same work as
the Englisl, workman.
Our textile workers earn from two
to three times as much as the textile
workers in England.
And 60 we might go through every
tr ,de and occupation. skilled and un-
skilled, and we would find that II day
labor in the United States is worth
double, and more, the same work in
Englani. This is equally true whether
paid by time or piece.
Not only do our workmen receive
much better wages than the laborers
abroad. but they receive more than
our own lahorers dill half century
ago, when we hal free trade tariff.
In fact, as Labor Commissioner
Carroll ID. Wright has just said:
"The condition of the wage workers
Of the United States, viewed in all
respects, is better now than 1T any
previous period in our history"
Not only are wages higher, but the
cost Of living has not increased.
There has, moreover, been general
decrease in the hours of labor, all of
which tends to better the condition of
tic American wage Garner in every
wav.
Will you vote next November TO
sustain this condition?

Here Are Some Of the Signs That Lutk
In Tea.
II you put cream into your cup
before the sugar it will "cross your
love-" SO be very careful, says the
Irish Times. If, while the tea is being
made, the lid removed to pour in the
water is forgotten, it is q sign of a
new arrival.
II the tea stalk floats in the cup it
is called "beau," and when this is
seen unmarried women should stir
their tea very quickly round and
round and then hold the spoon up
right in the center Of the cup. If the
"beau" is attracted to tho spoon and
clings to it b. will be sure to call very
shortly, if not that very evening; but
if the stalk goes to the side of the cup
he will not come.
II you want to know how many
years will elapse before you may ex.
pect to be married, balance your
spoon on the edge Of your cup, fist
noting that it is perfectly dry; ell an
other spoon partly with tea, and, hold.
ing it above the balanced spoon, lei,
the drops of the tea gather to the tip
of the spoon and gently fall into the
bowl below. Count the drcps-each
one stands for year.

center Of the cup. If they rush to
the sides it will surely rain before
