and Masters BenevoIence

We frequently read in the ne wspapers
of the harsh treatment perpetrated by
officers on the crews of sailing ships on
long voyages, and especially between this
port and San Francisco. We seld ON hear
or read of shipmasters and owners, how
ever, doing a kindly act to their crews
who are in need of such, for the reason
that those who are ministers OF kind treat
ment do not think it necessary to adver-
tise it and the recipients hardly ever do
so. We have in mind in this connection
humane act of extraordinary character
which came under our observation last
winter. young German sailor belong
ing to the crew of ship R. D. Rice fell
from the royal to the topgallant forecastle,
breaking an arm and leg and almost
smashing himself to jelly. The ship was
within a hundred miles of Pernambuco
S. A., bound to New Y ork. Capt. q. F.
Carver would not have been censured by
his owners or the public had he set the
broken limbs of the man and done the
best he could for him until he reached
his port of destination. Realizing that
the man had small chance for his life
without the aid of a surgeon, Capt Carver
bore away for Pernambuco, placed the
man under the best care at that port, and
thereby saved his life. The loss to the
owners of the ship was at least $500
and the man had only one chance
out of ten to recover. In a couple
of months he became sufficiently we'll
to be sent to this port and was taken
to the Sailors Snug Harbor, where he was
seen by the writer a few days since with
an artificial leg and arm provided by this
Institution, enjoying perfect health and

This fall from the royal yardarm was
purely accidental, no beckett OF footrope
or anything giving way, consequently 1t
was the fault Of no one and only the lack
of the young mans ability to keep him
self on the yardarm. The saving of this
man S life was almost miraculous and to

about 81 200, they making him present
of sufficient money to take him to Ger
many to see his relatives when he so
chooses, and this through no obligation,
but out of pure sympathy for a bright
young man cruelty afflicted through an
accident on board of one of their ships.
This is only one of the many instances
where masters and owners of deep water
vessels who are so frequently maligned in
the daily prints for taking summary
means at sea to prevent mutiny do more
than their duty to men who are worthy OF
their consideration. The writer of this
article got his information from the MUIR
ed man now in the Sailors Snug Harbor,
and it is matter of doubt whether if the
Messrs. Flint knew of it's intended publ
cation they would consent to it: We print
it for the special purpose Of bringing it
to the attention Of the unreliable daily
prints when they touch on marine affairs.

The Charge of the Chicken Brigade.

It will be remembered that at the recen
harvest feast of Georges River Grange, Lib
erty, fine chicken supper was given by thu
ladies of the Grange. 1t is said that there
were present on that occasion just one hun
dred. At a subsequent meeting of tn,
Grange the following original poem relative
to that event was recited by its author, j. 0
j., and at the request of several members o
the Grange it was sent to The Journal TO
publication:
CHARGE OF THE CHICKEN BRIGADE.
Who are these in bright array?
Is what 1 leard the people say.
AS over the hills there came this way
Nearly one hundred.
These are Changers, it is said,
Men and women, boy and maid,
Members of the chicken brigade,
Hungry one hundred
Men so brave and women fair
With their shouts did rend the air,
Theirs We're but to and dare
Gallant one hundred,
Charged they then in tours and pairs,
Charged they up two flight OF stairs
Into the grange hail. which was theirs,
Dashed the ore hundred.
Boxes to the right of them,
Boxes to the left of them,
Bundles i'll front of them,
Tabled and numbered.
OF chickens there We're near a score,
Bread and cakes ana pies galore,
Enough to have fed many more
Than the one hundred.
Some had TODD enough for ten,
Hearty women and hungry men
These had not bundered.
While others had but the widows mite.
Keeping that well ont of sight,
But all had brought an appetite,
All of the one hundred.
The coffee made, the tables spread,
All the food nicely lrrayed,
And all the dickens sundered--
When at command they charged pell NELL
With all their Jaws working hke-well;
Stomachward the chickens fell
Into the one hundred.
Chicken to the right of them,
Chicken to the left of them,
Chicken in front of them,
None none, was squanderea
Oh to see the chicken go,
Oh! TO see the coffee flow
Into the down below
Of this one hundred
Bread and cake to the right of them
Bread and pie to the left of them,
Pie and cake in front Of them,
Nobody slumbered
OF their deeds we love TO tell,
Long, long they ate and well,
And some of the old ones ate like hell
Ate the one hundred.
So long and brisk had been the fire
They at last began to tire,
For their stomachs felt most dire
And who in thunder wondered
Up, M from the tables there,
Up with an effort from the chair,
Up from thousand bones made bare,
Rose the one hundred.

Her message, Freedoms clear reveille, swept
From needless howell to Complacent throne.

And from its sheath the sword OF justice
leapt.
Around two peoples swelled a fiery wave,
But both came forth TRANSPORTED from the
