Relieved the Tension.

couple of years ago." said n Phiiadel.
phia travelling man yesterday, and in
the panic that ensued there is an in.
cident that stands out in my memory,
illustrating the slender thread be.
tween the tragic and tho ridiculous.
We had n fellow on board who had
managed to keep pretty well loaded
all the way across and when we struck
the rocks he was in his usual condi.
ton. When everybody thought for
sure we were going to the bottom, he
sat down at the piano in the saloon,
and what do you suppose he began
playing? Home. Sweet Home Some
body went to him and begged him to
stop. Immediately he switched of
from the doleful strains of the old
song to the rollicking melody of Down
Went McGinty.' The absurdity of the
thing seemed to strike everybody at
once, and general laugh followed.
The tension was relieved. and there
was good order after that."-Phila.
