For tiventyivo days we worked like madmen, carceiy taking tunc lo oat ol our poor ml meagre rations. One day, while rifting about, we sighted what we suposed to bt; an island, but upon coining earer we discovered that it was nothing ut a barren rock. With saddened loarts we lacked about in another diection. On the twenty-second day af'T we discovered the leak we saw head of us what looked to be <|uile a irge piece of land. When about enterng a harbor we struck upon a coral eof. We were at once discovered by naives of the island and upon making inuiry were told that we were in Kngish Harbor, a little inlet in Panning slr.ud. This island is a' good many lilos South of the Hawaiian Islands nd is owned by a Scotchman named j regg, who was shipwrecked about wenty-three years ago and who found is way to that place. He married a naive woman and has had seven chrildren y her. (hie is a beautiful girl of scvnteen years. She was educated at the andwich Islands and has traveled extenively in Europe and the United States. he scorns to like her island home. In ict, she has often told mo that she ronid not exchange it for any other in lie world. One day whilst Captain iregg was on his way to Honolulu the rst mate of the lTC'.i.ior, who had eon making love in a surreptitious ishion to this daughter of the sea. prooseil to her, va.s accepted and in the resencc of all of the inhabitants f the Island they consented to dng and about four in width.

Wednesday night, ahout half-past 8 o'clock, as the Charleston hounil passenger train from this city was approaching Hoove's Station, on the South Carolina Railway, it met with a terrible accident, in which the engineer, J. C. Hnnnicutt, was instantly killed, the colored fireman, named McCoy, had an arm broken, and William Wade, of this city, the mail agent, painfully if not seriously injured. The up freight train was on a side track, waiting for the down passenger to run by, but the switch had been left open and the passenger train, which was running at u high rate of speed, dashed into the siding, and the locomotives of the two trains collided, utterly wrecking each Oilier, and breaking every bumper on the freight train. The tender of the nassenirer ontrine * U - O mounted the ruins of the latter, ami it is believed that at that moment tho hc:\?l of the engineer was completely severed from his body and rolled to the ground, where it was subsequently discovered. The engineer's body was taken from the ruins of the locomotive a limp and ghastly spectacle. The colored fireman was hurled into nn adjacent pond of water, from which he emerged with a broken arm. The mail ear was dashed against the furnace of the locomotive, having taken the place of tho tender, and the mail division crushed in. Mr. Wade, the mail agent, was hurled to the other end of 'the car. and fortunately a laail pouch broke the force with which he was thrown, and he escaped with his life, as by a miracle. He received a bad gash on the left side of his head, his left side is painfully if not seriously injured, and his right leg sprained. When Mr. Malady, the Express Agent, recovered from his shock he found Mr. Wade in a semi-conscious state and immediately gave him needed attention, l'hysieiuns wen/ summoned from neighboring villages and proper care taken of the wounded. Mr. Avcrill went from Charloston on an ex'ra train to the scene of the accident, and took the delayed passengers, the dead engineer and the wounded men to Charleston. Mr. Wade was brought to his home in this city yesterday morning. The following account of the accident is taken from the A'c/tv? (tod Courier of yesterdaj* : At half past 8 o'clock yesterday evening, as the passenger train on the South Carolina Kailway, due in Charleston at o'clock, was running into Heeves's, a ni'Splaced switch threw it on the side track against a freight train. IJoth engines were smashed to atoms, as tin? passenger train was running at a frightful rate, estimated at forty five miles an lionr. Engineer J. C. Hunnicutt was instantly killed, being crushed into a jelly, and Fireman McCoy, colored, was badly injured. The passengers were jarred and thrown from their seals, but no harm was done to them. Til.-! engineer and firemen wore the only persons injured. The body of the engineer and llie wounded fireman came in on the train at 4.15 this morning. The engineer leaves a family in Atlanta. (?a. A larsre crowd was at the Lino Street Station, notwithstanding the unreasonable, hour, this morning, to seo tho train come in. The body of the engineer was a ghastly sight and the fireman was moaning piteously. A passenger told a roporter of the paper that the effect of the jar was terrible, throwing people ten feet from their seats, and in some instances against the lop of the car. Both engines and about twenty freight cars were wrecked. Farming; and Ccttin^ ltluli. Farmer Uhl, of Richmond county, has told his fellow agriculturalist* how to make poor lar.d pay. There is no mystery"about it. It is the sound business principle of thrift and intelligence applied to tilling of the soil. Nothing must bo wasted. Everything must he utilized. All men of brains who are disposed to farm as Mr. Uhl does ought fit least to tiiauo a goou living and enjoy t lie rare blessing of con tent. Hut the majority of farmers, as of all other people, are not willing to pursue this plan, or else have not the practical talent to y aro sure o( shelter, of food and of needful clothing ; to toil and moil, pinch and screw, starve and deny, in<>rely to he accounted worth a certain amount of money, in only wanting the precious term of life which might bo used to far better purpose. Providing for old age or "a rainy day" ? s?Jai ' "' x-. . v" ' ' j ~r" is a paramount duty, for fanners :cs for merchants or professionaLjnen, but it is insisted tluit, within his means, the farmer should prudently improve his surroundings and enjoy his existence. Our moralist says: lie has nothing to fear and nobody to envy. Of one thing ho is sure all his days, and that is a suf- 1 (icient living ; and that is what other men are never sure of without a single pang of doubt or aprehension. There is his land : there is his home ; there is all the animate and inanimate machinery of his establishment, and for the rest he looks in profound trust to the bounty of Heaven," If Southern farmers arc not sure of a sufficient living it is because they have not industry or talent like Mr. Uhl, and it may be that in the hurry to get rich, they have become the prey of speculative sharks at Chicago or New York. We dare say that many a Southern farmer to-day is in distress because of yielding to baits held out in cotton futures or other deceptions of that character. The curse of the day, demoralizing everything in town or country, is the worship of money and the rabid desire lo possess it by some royal road. That lust of wealth has distempered our people, merchants and f.irnters, to a great degree, and its pursuit has led to disas tor in numerous eases. We ilo not believe! there is any true happiness in a devouring greed of gain or the possession of money acquired in any way except by honest toil. On this point our Northern contemporary speaks as follows: "Instead of this unworthy and demoralizing anxiety to get rich, if the average farmer, once heing solidly established. would resolve to enlarge and exalt his life as it is, to make more out of that, to enjoy as much as possible of what there is to be enjoyed, to adorn and beautify his home?that only paradise on earth?within and without, , he would find all his daily tasks far easier even lo the extent o; being delightful, he would feel rich where now, with more money, ho feels all the time poor, and he would rid himself of a false tyrant in the form of increasing parsimony that holds his nose to the grindstone till he is flung into his grave. If farmers only knew it, they could easily be the richest .men on earth.'' Nine-tenths, perhaps, of Southern Dinners are not now* so much intent on getting rich as upon keeping out of debt and preserving the simplest comforts of existence. Mr. Uhl has shown them how a satisfactory living can he made on the poorest soil by- good management, and we have no doubt that one part of his progiammo involves just such judicious expenditure as contrib ntes to happiness. 'J'he fault with only too many of the fanners in this section is not parsemony luit extravagance. When their crops turn out well they spend their money freely. What they need is not only the I'hi method of cultivating the earth, but an avoidance of the pitfalls that beset their path outsidc the farm. We are firmly of opinion that the man of sense who makes his farm pay, and who does not try to get rich via a broker's or factor's office, is, in all essential matters, if sober and moral, one of the happiest of mankind. ?Chronicle, . itiwl n<4 vosfprilftv wnsi n. fuvimililo opportunity he resolved to try his speed. At about noon lie made his howto the audience, being attired in blue silk tights and white shirt. He was barefooted, preferring to dispense with any sort of covering for his feet. Joe is rather tall and of slender construction being of the build for speed, lie started oil' in a sort of dog trot and kept up this gait without stopping until the whole ton miles were completed. Occasionally some one would run with him for a short distance anil let him drink water without impeding his speed. The track is exceedingly dusty and in many places tlio pulverized clay is fully four inches deep. This condition was of course ft great disadvantage to .loo. Nevertheless, he plodded bravely on and elicited surprise and commendation from the spectators. When he finished his tenth ami last mile it was announced that he had made it in C3%?failing to accomplish his task hy just three minutes anil a quarter. There is no doubt that Joe would have gotten through on time if (he course had been free from thick dust which has been retarding the i progress of race horses, during tho past i twe or three days. A number of citizens present gave Joe small sums of mqnuy in recognition of the very good time ' which he had made. WO? I I II HI I Mill mil ! ! ! ??namnw A DKMOCKATIU OUTRAGE.

It seems tluit a short time s>ko one Mrs. McCiinnis attempted to draw a buckct of wsitor from the well in question. The moment the lady touched the chain attached lo the bucket her heels Hew up and she fell senseless to tins ground. After recovering she walked to the house and informed the family that she had been knocked down with a sand hag. ller daughter, a strapping young woman of indomitadlc courage, at once flew to the well, vowing that she would draw a huckct of water in spite of all the trumps and toughs in the United States. I'.ut the instant she touched the chain her heels took the same upward flight in the case of her mother and the plucky girl was thrown violently to the ground.
