THE MoHIoAN,s VOYAGE.
She Narrowly Escapes Going Ashore
or Lime Point.


or Lime Point.
The American bark Mohican,
which left here recently for San
Francisco, had rough voyage.
On the 18th ult. a heavy gale was
encountered which raised a very
heavy cross sea. The decks were
swept and considerable damage
done.
Off the Golden Gate on the
night of the Oath there was a fair
wind, and the captain determined
to save a towage of 5000 by sail
ing in. OFF Lime Point the wind
died away to calm, and the Mo-
hican began to drift toward the
rocks. Over seventy. five fathoms
of chain were run out before the
vessel brought up, and then she
held securely. Early the next
morning an attempt was made
to take in the anchor and
make sail, but the anchor would
not bulge. Finally tug was
signaled for, and the Sea Witch
responded. She could not move
the firmly fixed mudhook, and
finally both anchor and chain
were slipped and the vessel was
towed to the sugar refinery. Later
in the day the tug Rescue went to
Lime Point and picked up the an
Choir and chain.
The Mohican was built in 1876
of heart Of oak, and is now as
sound as a vessel launched three
years ago. She is 100 feet 2 inches
long, IS feet 2 inches broad, and
10 feet 9 inches deep. The first
mate of the bark Martha Davis,
now in port and owned by WEIGH
& Co., will take command of the
Mohican.

FARM VILLAGES IN AMERICA.
A Plan That VIII Make Rural Life More
Attractive.

Hon. John Bookwalter, of New York.
large land owner in Nebraska, Illinois
and Ohio, proposes plan to make life
on the farm more attractive and per-
haps TO make farm work more re-
muneratiye. His idea was obtained
from observations in the rural districts
of France and Switzerland, and may he
productive Of much good. 1t is simply
says the ."ttsburgh Dispatch, To con-
centrate the rural population in viii
lagos of 500 to 5000 persons, to give
them the advantages of social life and
modern luXurics and amusements. Mr.
Bookwalter will begin on a 60,000-acre
tract he owns in Nebraska, and pro-
poses to organize a town which is 10
have n theater, music hall. library and
other advantages for amusement and
instruction.
In France, as is well known, the rural
population is grouped in villages, the
farms radiating in narrow strips from
the towns in the center. Mr.. Book
walter claims nothing new for his idea,
but thinks the French villages may be
improved upon in this rich, new coun-
try, where large acreage may be lald
out with the village idea, instead Of
growing by subdivision. There is no
doubt the centering of population in
this way would add greatly TO the at
Effectiveness of life on the farm. The
social contact is one of the chief at
fractions OF the city. Neither can there
be much doubt that such community OF
the rural population would give i
greater influence in state and national
affairs, in legislation and administra-
ton. 1t would naturally lead 10 better
sanitary conditions, TO convenences, to
police and fire protection that are now
lacking in the widely-separated farm
houses, and all this without detracting
from the advantages of rural surround
ings, such as trees, flowers and the sup
ply of the best and freshest that the
garden, dairy. orchard and farm can
produce.

DANGEROUS BLUE HERON.

Hunters Have Been Hurt Trying to Cap
ture Wounded Bird.
"Some of these days." said the long
shore hunter 10 a New York Sun man.
Il expect 10 open my daily paper and
see a headline something like this:
Killed by Blue Heron and I'll tell
you why. The blue heron is a big.
powerful bird, which has already dis
figured the faces Of several men. The
men have wounded q bird. and then.
thinking TO capture il alive, they went
up To it, Why. I'd as soon try TO kiss
q wounded grizzly. The birds grow as
tall as sin feet and have necks like a
fish rod and just the kind of muscles
10 move il quickest With the most
strength. They could drive rheir bill
points through quarter-incb panel.
The hunter goes up to u bird and
sees it lying there looking as inno-
cent as robin. with only wing broken.
What fine pet il would make the
fool hunter thinks. Then he picks the
bird up and starts for home in a wagon
or a boat, with the bird between his
knees. The birds neck is drawn back
like a letter IS All of a sudden the
bill shoots up and gives the man cash
alongside the eve three inches long.
That is what alw; S h ; nal pened. The
wounded bird h.: IN -snd IS aim. but
