Two strange careerm.

The Spectator.
 Al certain Fernao Lopez, the earliest exile of St. Helena, having deserted to the Mohammedan enemy and fallen into the hands of that fierce Christian apolo- gist Alfonso Dalboquerque, had his nose and ears cut off and his hair plucked out by the roots to remind him of that sin which was the only one in the call endar which the Portugese adventureF could not forgive Fearing to return to Europe, he deserted from his ship at St. Helena, and took to the life of solitary. A cock which was washed ashore half dead became his companion. and he made for himself, like Alexander Selkirk, a house in the wilds. He was in terror lest he should be captured and sent back to Portugal, so he took to the
 woods whenever a ship put In. But passing sea cAptains were friendly and left letters and gifts of food for him on the beach. and by and by he was in- duced to meet them and at his own re- quest was taken to Europe in order to obtain absolution for thlg sin of re- nouncing his faith. This done he re- turned to his island and died there after more than thirty years of solitary life.
 A certain Marie de Mayrenas Comte da Ray, became the ruler of a little people called the Sedangs in the hin terland of Annam. Imediately the dis- ease of grandeur" fell upon him, he set about raising funds to exploit his
 Kingdom. got to loggerheads with the French officials, offered his State to Germany, and going to Europe twas put in prison for debt He returned
 with funds raised by Belgian officials, who were left to kick their heels at Singapore, while the king" in sud- den fright went off to the little island of Tioman. There he remained in hid ing, blieving that his death warrant had been issued and that his deeds were convulsing the chanceries of the world.

Freight and Switch Engines Come Ts-
 Gether In Collision.

Freight and Switch Engines Come Te-
 gether i'm Collision.
 A wreck occurred in the railroad yards just south of the Union Railway Station yesterday morning at 11:8o o'clock, in which the engine of the sec ond section of freight train No. IS of the Mobile and Montgomery Division of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road, and switch engine of the Att lantic Coast Line Railway were badly damaged.
 Engineer H. B. Collins. with engine No. 103S of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad, was pulling Into the station, and in answer to signals was moving slowly. A Mobile and Mont gomery switch engine on the track ahead of him prevented him seeing a switch engine on the Atlantic Coast Line which was working on the main line.
 The engineer of tk Atlantic Coast Ltne engine and the engineer on the Louisville and Nashville engine, in watching the yard signals thought when the M. and M. switch engine left the main line the track was clear and did not see each other until too late to prevent the colliAon.
 The engines crashed together, mak- ing almost total wreck of the Att lantie Coast Line engine, bat doing small damage to the engine of the Louisville and Nashville. The track was cleared in a short time. The crews of both engines escaped without injury
