by Monks.

There is a vessel sailing under the
Turkish flag which is manned entirely
by monks. 1t is called the Holy Prophet
lila (Elijah), and is about 800 tons bur
den. The captain is a J~eromonach, a
monk ranking higher than a friar, and
all the sailors are expert seamen, as wei.
as monks, or brothers. The pilot, Father
Iraklij (Heraclius), has sailed yer al
the oceans, having circumnavigated the
globe. The entire crew speak both Rus
sian and Greek, and service on the ship
alternates with services in the little
church in the forecastle. One of the
most curious sights connected with the
ship is that of the monks in their re
ligious costumes climbing up the ~ratlines
and out on the yardarm, reefing sails
and doing other work aloft.

Study of Man.

"The proper study of mankind is man.
1t is also, to our thinking, the most in
teresting study. There is no literature
more entertaining and at the same time
more useful than biography-the stories
of the lives of the great men of
all nations. The Master of Balliol once
predicted that some day 1--WE shall teach
almost entirely by biography. We shall
begin with the life which is the most
familiar to us, the life of Christ, and
we shall more and more put before ouI
children the great examples of persons

beginning heroes and friends in their

1t is made evident by an a%necdote re-
lated by Senator Sherman in his "Recol-
lections'' that in his youthful days boys
were much the same in nature as they
are now. Says the senator: Among
my school adventures at Mount Vernon
was one I heartily regret. We had a
teacher by the name of Lord. He was a
small man and not able to cope with sew
eral of the boys in the school. We called
him 'Bunty Lord One evening after

THE CREW SAVED.
Captain Gaskill Gives an Account of the Burn- ing of the City, of St. Au-

Boston, Oct. 24.-Capt. John H. Gaskill, wife and seventeen men, comprising the crew of the steamer City of St. Augustine. burned at sea, were landed this morning by the City of Macon, from Savannah.
 Captain Gaskill says: "rhe City of St. Augustine sailed on her. regular trip from New York for Florida at midnight Saturday night. Nothing unusual trans pired until 11:20 o'clock Monday night, when the men at work in the fire room discovered a dense smoke emanatng from the coal bunkers, fire room and en- zine room. Upon investigation 1t was found that the cargo in the main hold was on fire. An attempt was made to extinguish the fire and for three-quar- ters of an hour the flames were held at bay, but suddenly the steam In the boiler gave out and the fire began to make rapid headway. Seeing that 1t was impossible to save the steamer steps were taken to abandon her. Port and starboard life boats were gotten ready and the crew, after assisting the captains wife. to a place in the stern of one of the boats, left the burning ship and dropped astern, where they caught log line and by this means remained in position about eighty fathoms from the burning steamer After remaining about three-quarters of an hour in the boats the City of Macon, at tracted by the burning vessel hove to near by and we were then cut loose from the log line and rowed to her and were taken aboard"

The latter train came steaming down the line and crashed into the stationary train. The eng inc of the Providence train was forced through nearly half of the length of the rear coach which was filled with pas- sergers, and particularly all the injured were occupants of that car. After the accident all the physicians in the town were summoned as quickly as possible, and the depot was temporarily con- verted into a hospital and everything was done to relieve the sufferings of the injured. Two persons, one brakeman on the Sharon, the other a trainman, were found to be fatally hurt. Their names are not yet known.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.
An Advance of More Than S1 Per Ton Has
 Been Made in Pig at Pitts burg.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 24.-The Iron Trade Review says today:
 The decline in Bessemer pig has been arrested, and an advance of more than $1 ton at Pittsburg has taken place within the week. Buying by two steel companies has brought out the last of the speculative iron and made the fur nacemen again factor in the market Sales at $1525 in the valley are reported. equivalent to $16 at Pittsburg under the new 75 freight rate and few lots for delivery for the first quarter of 1896 have sold on a valley basis of $15.50. These transactions are significant as marking the restoration of legitimate market and as enabling the trade to locate itself after several weeks of uncertainty. The belief that the prices of steel products will be sustained for some time on a basis corresponding to the present price of Bessemer pig is supported by the lat est developments in ore. High ocean freight rates are an effectual barrier to early enlargement of imports from the Mediterranean. High freights on the lakes make 1t certain that expected ship ments of Bessemer ores from Lake Su- perior will be deferred to next season. While the extent of the shortage Is matter of estimate the fact Is sufficient to account TOT nTfn IeeliIiS OH tue part UT the producers of Bessemer pig. The past week has shown slightly better feeling in finished material. In the east better tone has prevailed fin manufactured iron and steel with prices shade hrmer. There are evidences of cutting in the ter rjtory between Pittsburg and Chicago. Steel billets have little sale in any mar ket Furnaces maintain prices.

settlers, is probably unparalleled in any section of our country.
 Some of the incidents of the last year are the First Mountain church coming to self-support, the ordination of the first Chinaman as a Congregational minister, the spontaneous development of the Con- gregational idea in the "black belt" and the largest accession of churches and new members in many years.
 Rev G. Rowe, pastor of Plymouth church, Charleston, s. C.. said that the work of the American Missionary asso- ciation in the organization of church work among the negroes began nearly thirty years ago. We now have 169 churches. The majority of them are still weak and unable to carry their financial burdens without outside help.
 Now and then one missionary becomes self-supporting, as in the case of the Sa- vannah First church, the Atlanta First church the Plymouth church, Charles ton, s. C., which Mir. Rowe has served about ten years.
 The newspapers of the day would give us the idea that the life of the negro race is inseparably connected with lawlessness and crime. While enumerating the faults of the worst class, they overlook the quiet, but rapid development in religious, in tellectual and industrial life that is go- ing on.
 They overlook the life of steady up rightness lived by so many members of the race and select the vicious, lazy ignorant and worthless classes as repre- sentatives of people who are rising and developing every department of life and effort. The church and school work Of the American Missionary association has wrought nightly in the southland i'll character and intellect building. The Methodist church, in all its branches. has been at work doing valiant services.

AT HOME AGAIN
The President and Party Arrived Ahead of
 Schedule Time.

Washington, Oct. 24.-President CIeve- land and party returned tonight from the Atlanta exposition. arriving here at SIP n. m.. eighteen minutes ahead of schedule time. The trip was made without the slightest incident or delay. Postmaster General Wilson said they were greeted most cordially in Atlanta and had de- lightful time.
 Large and enthusiastic crowds met the president at Charlotte, Salisbury, Greens boro. Danville and Lynchburg. Every member of the presidents party were de- lighted with their trip and are loud in their praises of the perfect service of the Southern railway.
 General Passenger Agent Turk of the Southern railway had charge of the par ty to and from Atlanta and said the en- tire round trip was made smoothly. As the train arrived ahead of time the crowd at the depot consisted only of those awaiting to take trains of of the city, and the numerous police in citizens clothes and uniforms had little trouble in clearing passage way for the president and party, which passed through the sta- ton almost unrecognized.
