Who was the Ch@ronian sage, the Celtic
Homer and the French Oyid9
Plutarch, who was born in Cherona, in
B@tia, one of the old Greek provinces, was
sometimes called the Cheronian sage. BY
the term Celtic Homer, Ossian probably is
meant. He is supposed to have lived in
the Third century. Several writers at one
time and another have been called the
French Ovid, but the Characterization has
oftenest been applied to Du Bellay, who
lived in the Sixteenth century.--St. Louis

THE BOAT CAPSIZED.
Young Robert Mckenzie Narrowly
ESCAPES Drowning,

Robert Mckenzie had a narrow escape
from drowning yesterday near the
Monaghan oyster-beds. He was member
of the annual excursion party at the in
vitation of Mr.. Monaghan and left San
Francisco on board the yacht Cornelia
with Lewis Hart, Thomas Kavanagh and
Samuel Murphy. The tug Elizabeth and
the yachts Truant, Secret. Goose, Fatchie.
Dandy and Boxer made up the rest of the
feet.
The passage down was somewhat rough,
but the beds were reached all right and
Mckenzie and his companions started TO
leave the yacht in a t1at-b0ttomed skiff.
About 100 yards from the yacht she cap
sized. Kayanagh and Murphy hung on TO
the up:urned boat, Mckenzie and Hart
being washed off by the heavy sea.
Mckenzie was unable TO SWIM, and,
although Hart had nearly all he could do
to take care of himself. be grabbed his
sinking companion and held him up. He
could only do it for a moment, and when
he let 90 Mckenzie sank like lead. Hart
Immediately plunged after and got him
again and, by this time, rescuing boats
arrived and took them both in.
Young Mckenzie was pretty far gone
when put on board the Elizabeth. He
was carefully attended, however. and soon
revived sufficiently TO show he was far
from food for fishes.
The bravery of Hart was commended
on every hand.
