lives and property, is yet fresh in the minds
Of cur readers, and we feel sure that no one
can read the account published in the daily

help, which Governor Tillman makes in
his proclamation Of August 3lst.
The majority of the sufferers are oolored
people, living on the islands adjacent to
Port Royal and Beaufort, and 1t is estimated
that there are 1000 human beings who Will
be entirely destitute unless they can obtain
relief. - y,ss.-.

that caused the destruction, should bring

Power OF Imagination.

An unfortunate asthmatic, COM
PEELED TO make a hurried journey from
home, arrived very late at night at a
country inn, where he never put up
before. Completely worn out he par
took of supper and was then shown in
TO huge old fashioned bedroom, the
further portion Of which was only
dimly Illuminated by q miserable can.
die. He was not long in throwing of
his clothes, extinguishing the candle
and slipping into bed The feeling OF
being in a strange place, and the rapid
mental review of many incidents 81
his days journey, with the closenes'
of the heat, combined with the late
supper, brought on a wakeful, ner
vous condition which induced an at
tack of asthma.
Gasping for breath he scarcely knew
what to do; to get up and grope about
such a large room in quest of door
or window by which he could admit
more air seemed beyond his powers.
All at once he remembered that some
where at the far end of the room he
had noticed, while undressing, a re-
Election as from glass. This, he
promptly concluded, must have been
the window, and seizing a stick which
which he had placed on chair by the
bedside, he hurled it through the
gloom. His conjectures were con
frmed, to his satisfaction, for the clat-
tering on to the floor of pieces OF
broken glass showed him that ne had
not only guessed rightly as to the posi-
tion of the window, but had also sue
ceeded in smashing one of the panes.
In his Imagination the air OF the
room became cooler and fresher, and
the paroxysm of difficult breathing
soon ceased, the result being that he
fell into a refreshing slumber that
lasted till morning Upon his awak-
ing, he was surprised to find the day
light streaming into the room from
direction exactly opposite to that in
which, overnight, he imagined the
window to be situated. Turning to
glance down the room, he discovered
that he had smashed a quantity of
glass, surely enough, but it had
formed no part Of the window, as he
supposed, but the front of glazed
bookcase. Hygiene.

Nearly -Four Months in Doldrun.

Held for nearly four months in an
equatorial doldrum or dead sea calm
until her provisions were exhausted
and her crew on the verge Of starvation
WAS the terrible experience Of the Amer
jcan ship Edward O'Brien, which had
long ago been given up for lost. The
ship is owned partly in this city and
the news Of her safety has just reached
the owners.
The ship left Victoria, British Col
ombia. early in December last for Lon
don with large cargo of wheat, and
nothing was heard Of her until June
ODD. when she was sighted by the
steamer Calico, flying signals telling
that she was short of food. She was
supplied by the steamer, and Captain
Whitton brought to New York news OF
the safety to the underwriters, who
we're demanding heavy premiums ioi
reinsuring the vessel and cargo.
1t was learned that the ship had
made a fine run down the Pacific coast
and around the Horn, but when near
the equator she had been caught IN one
of the dreaded calms that prevail IN
that latitude For three months she
remained within a distance OF hall II
mile from where she first struck the
calm, and during that time there was
not wind enough to fill even the light
est of her sails. Finally a small cur
rent. probably made by Il storm many
miles away, appeared and served to
send her slowly out of the locality,
which threatened at one time to be-
come a place of death for all on board
On this current the ship drifted for al
most another month. Then a welcome
wind carried her back into the paths
of navigation.
When the Galileo was encountered
the water supply of the E lward OBrien
was exhausted, foo was almost down
to the last ration, aud in n few more
hours the men on board would have
been beyond help. After being sup
piled with food and water the ship pro-
ceeded on her way to London.-Phlla'
