The Burning Transport AN EXGLISH'KAVAIi OFFICER'S STORY. The fleet lav off '-North Fleet Hope.'1 awaiting the flat? of Rear-Admiral Coffiu, who had been appointed to succeed the gallant Col ling wood, and, a heavy gale prevailing at the time, tbe ships -V 3 JU were riding TO tile Winu, regarujtros vi tide, when night closed around ns. Some thirty sail of merchantmen, under convoy of one of our fastest frigates, weie anchore:! in the entrance cf the Downs, and between ns and them lay two convict ships, while a fleet of transports, with troops for the East Indies, were anchored just astern of ns, the largest ?tbe Wellesley?being unchoredonour etaiboard quarter, anc. scarce three cables' length distant. Being senior passed midshipman of the old Sovereign at the time, I was honored witn supreme commaim 01 a whole anchor-watch, and having the first watch that night enjoyed the happiness (?) of strutting the quarter-deok exposed to the wind and rain, while my morg humble and consequently more foiiunate watchmates sought shelter in the Jee of tho bulwarks, cr, stowed enuply away beneath the guns, whiled away the dreary watch with yarns, of dangem and battles past. It had just struck three bells, and save the measured tread of the sentinels cn duty, the pattering of the driving rain and the deep breathings of full six hundred sleepers, scarce a sound broke Vi? oilatina rfimninc throughout the vast hull of the old Sovereign. Even I had halted, half-deeming our dreary watch at an end; and, half-supported by the cabin fkylight, was indulging in visions of calm repose. While Btanding thus, with face averted from the driving storm, a deep red gleam illumined the darkness on our starboard quarter, increasing so rapidly that ere a minute elapsed the upper works, lower mast and yards of the Welleslev were plainly defined in the red glare. In an instant the trnth I flashed upon me, she was on fire; and bounding to the skylight I shouted: | "Forward gun of the starboard-forward division on the spar-deck ! Fire!'' It was our signal gun, and kept continually loaded, so that my order was obeyed in an instant, while I followed <ip the report with the order, "Bo'sen's mute, pipe all hands to quarters." 11)6 first lieutenant was at my side ' re the sound of the mate's shrill whistle bad ceased reverberating on our main, gun, and beith decks, when he instantly divined the cause of the aiarrr, and assuming command, shouted, "Fire I Pipe down all boats I Waist and afterguard, pass the engines up from below! Topmen. hook vard and stay tackles. Fore castle men and sail trimmers, pass the messenger and take to." In an instant all was bustle and i preparation, and ere a lapse of two minutes the report of " messenger passed" was followed by that of " boats i all ready;" when Captain Wilmer, who bad gained the deck, shouted, " Officers in charge of boats, to yot,r stations! Bo'sen, pipe all boats away!' I sprang from the rail, grasped the yard tackle, and in an iustar.t later landed in the j launch, of which I bad commanu. we . then fell off, and in a few moments < were scudding swiftly toward the burn- 1 ing ship. It is almost needless to add ] that our example was followed by the various commanders in the fleet, and on ] dropping alongside the We Wesley we 1 mustered a fleet of some sixty boat9 ' capable of accommodating at least nine 1 hundred hands, a larger number, fortunately, than were placed in peril. 1 The moment the first boat reached t theiransport the work of debarkation j commenced, but owing to the tremen- < dons gale and heavy sea progressed but ' slowly, while the rapid advance of the ( fire drove numbers from tne deck to 1 seek safety in the sea, from which they t were rescued as promptly as possible. t It was truly a thiilling scene. The j hull of the transport was evidently con- ? verted into aperfect volcano, while from ? each of her hatches leaped a tongue of T flame, which, seizing on her fresh tarred rigging, transfers d the whole mass into ( a delicate tracery of fire, and speedily ] consuming it left her taut spars to f tumble one after another over the stern, killing and wounding numbers in their t descent. r This catattrophe, although resulting s in death to many, proved a mean8 of e safety to many others who m;ght other- j wise have perished, as it established a direct meanB of communication with g many of the boats which could not gain 6 a position alongside. And thus the E work went on, boat after boat departing i with its load of fcorched, half naked ( and shivering troops, with a light t sprinkling of women and children, until c nearly all were saved, when the task t commenced of .'owering the insensible c foims of those who had been hurt by the falling spars, in the rush which had ? taken place on the discovery of the fire, or had fainted from excessive ( fright. j Onr boat being scarce one third full, ] we hauled alongside to receive our 3 quota of the unfortunate creatures, i whom we handled as tenderly as possi- j ble, laying them in a tier in the stern- , sheets, to the number of ten, when hav- j ing as many as we could accommodate, ] we dropped astern, and shipping our j oars we made a futile attempt to re- , gain the Royal Sovereign. Finding j that we could not gain an inch, I seized upon the first lull in the gale to put the ] tiller hard up, when the launch swnng ] off, and catching the next sea broad on , her bow, careened so heavily that she \ half-filled, when the second caught her < fairly astern, and fortunately righted , her, bearing off some eight or ten fathoms on its boiling, bubbling crest, , and leaving us in a proper position to ( scud with safety. . ] The briny bath exercised a reanimat- i ing effect upon several of our insensible i cargo, one of whom?a female?be i trayed the fact of her restoration by \ loudly demanding her child. , " My child! my child! Where is ( mj little Edward?" she demanded, in < tones of thrilling anguish. "Tell me, j for the love of heaven, if any of you j have seen my child ?" I ^ "Merciful Heaven! wbat do I hear? , i ?the voice of my benefactress ?" ex- t claimed a young man, who sat on the j front part, supporting the form of a 1 < young woman, who had evidently re- { ceived fearful injuries prior to her ] rescue from the burning wreck. "Is this Mrs. Clifford V he asked, gently * f relinquishing his insensible burden. j i "It is," responded the lady, instantly ' a adding, ""Whoever you are you evi- \ dently know me, and must know some- c thing of my darling. Oh, have yon e seen him ? Is ho 6afe ? Tell me, I 1 conjure you." t " Would to Heaven I could!"' ex- k daimed tho man, passionately. "Bill c Hunter would be only too happy to c prove his gratitude to tho benefactress of his wife." v " Oh, Hunter, my child, my Edward, \ aud my husband '' j c "Nay, madame, Captain Clifford j t must be safe,"rej'>ined the man, hastily. J i "I saw him myself actively employed I in removing the insensible from below, and he may have Baved the child." 8 "May have," she repeated; but you not certain, Hunter? Oh, you are net p certain, and this suspense is worse than death!" Aud the poor bereaved mother b groaned in her anguish, and clasping her hands over her eyes eat rocking her body to and fro, and uttering that deep, convulsive sob, which betrays so fully a breaking heart. " And she interceded so eloquently in our behalf that my Sasan might accompany me!' murmured the soldier, in an audible tone, as he resumed his seat and his former burden, on the pallid brow of which he pressed a fond kiss, addincr. "Mv poor wife! Would to Heaven you had remained with my parents; yon would have escaped this suffering, and perhaps death!' And the gallant fellow bowed his head, concealing his face in his hands, probably to hide the tears which were an honor to his manhood, since called forth by the snffering and probable fate of one who had forsaken friends and home to follow bis uncertain fortunes. A minute later we roonded to under ths counter of and received a line from the Delmar transport, alongside of and into which one boat was already discharging her freight of rescued. "Ship ahov! (Jan von accommodate twenty more?" Idemandod, as my bowline made fast to bim. "Ay, my lad, a hundred!" was the trumpeted reply. "Haul up, haul up at once, and clear the track for others I" We obeyed, gaining, with difficulty, a position beneath the gangwpy, when the debarkation of our freight commenced, the insensible wife of the young soldier being the first attached to the whip by which the helpless were taken on board. Mrs. Clifford was the second, the soldier having devoted himself to her as soon as he beheld his wife in safety, while I, seizing upon the first opportunity, bounded into the Delmar's main chains, and gained her deck at the moment that the bereaved mother was relieved from the whip, when, recognizing me, she rushed to my tide, and grasping my arm, exclaimed: "What shall I do? How 6hall I discover the fate of my husband and child?"' " You must bo quiet, madame," responded I, urgently. "It is impossible to learn anything regarding them just now, or indeed before this gale Bubsides, *hen I have no doubt you will find them safe and sound. They may have reached some other vessel ere this. Indeed, 'tis more than probable they juave UUUW BU, OIUUC IU m,l wnuiu knowledge but few of the Wellesley's company are lost." " Bless you I" said she. "May heaven ble68 you for your consoling words ! Yet I apprehend the worst. Do you think that they have reached this vessel ?" "Probably, madame, but I will ascertain," I replied ; and, advancing a few paoes with the trembling mother still clinging to my arm, I was about to ask if any one of the rescued answered to the came of Captain Clifford, when the young soldier elbowed his way through the crowd, exclaiming: "Mrs. Clifford! Mrs^ Clifford ! 1 have found him !" "Found whom T she demanded, wildly. "Whom have you found ?" "Captain Clifford, your husband, ma'am?" "And my child?my Edward? Speak! What of him? But lead mo to my husband, he will tell me all." The young soldier guided her through the crowd in silenoe; while deeply interested in the meeting about to take place, I followed to where a gentleman in the undress of an infantry officer lay partially supported by a half-naked soldier, his countenance expressing at once tne Keenest pnysicai angaisn una a supreme decree of mental happiness. "Thank Heaven; yon are safe, my beloved Lucy; but where is?" "Edward! Oh, Father of Mercies ! T came to yon, my husband, for tidings of our boy. Can it be that you are as ignorant as myself ?" " I never saw him but once after the alarm, Luoy, and then he was in the nurse's arms. She was seeking you ; and I, deeming him safe with her?Oh! my child, my child ! and I disabled and cannot search for him I" " In the nurse's arms 1" repeated the young soldier. " Why, that was Sasan. DM vnn mpftn." paid hp. "vou paw Master Ed ward with my wife, captain ?" "Ay, Hnnter," was the reply. "Where is your wife ? The child must be with her." " Alas, no, sir. My wife is here. See ?she is insensible," 6aid the young soldier ; and as he spoke he bent over the form I had failed to observe, adding, " I found her beneath a prostrate spar, by which she had been struck down, and, wrenching it aside, grasped the precious burden and escaped with it, as yoa gee.'' "Then, Lucy, darling, our child is lost!" murmured the stricken officer, rrnnfltr rlr-aannor fha nrnTi/?Tiinct fnrm nf bis wife to his breast, where she fainted, while the young soldier, bounding to his feet, exclaimed: "Not yet! no, do?not yet; Dot yet! I know the spot where Susan lay. The fire has not reached it yet, and Master Edward must be there if not'among the rescued. Who'Jl go with me to the burning prtreck ?'* "I will, my man!'' I shouted, seized with a wild ambition to aid him in restoring the child to its parents, and grasping his arm I fairly dragged him :o the rail, on which I leaned, shouting: Volunteers for the wreck! Sovereigns, ahoy! A child is left in yonder turning ship! Who will follow me to ;he rescue!" The demand was instantly responded :o oy tne unanimous snout or tne aunch's crew, "Sovereigns to the res:ue I'' when I tamed inboard, shouting, la lighter boat! In heaven's name let is have a lighter boat I" " Lower away the gig!" shonted some me on deck, when, pausing no longer, [ leaped from the rail into the launch, ollowed by the intrepid soldier. Scarce a minute elapsed ere the Dclnar's gig w&s down, and five of my nen, the soldier and myself, safelv1 leated on her thwarts, when an unreitrained use of our knives severed the iavit-tackles, and we were free. Bear her off with your oars, and hip all, my lads!" I exclaimed, vainly sndeavoring to find the rudder, when, ibandoning the search, I grasped the oom of the after oar, which the soli: T i i *. utjr iiiiu btcuieu, uuu icuu my oncugtu oward the impulsion of the buoyant iraft through or over the maddened nllows, while from the Delmar's deck same a cheering shout: "Give way, my lads, my noble hearts, ind may Heaven speed you !'' We did give way, each 6troke of the ; >ars makiDg the little boat fairly leap 'rom the brine, while the life-boat nodel on which she was constructed endered us secure from all danger of aeing swamped. And it was fortunate [or us that her thwarts, stern-sheets | ind dais were air-tight lockers. Had ! :hev been otherwise nothing could ; have prevented ns from going down, I inasmuch as we were half-full of water j sre we had accomplished half the dis-1 lance to the wreck. We had made the passage to the Del- j m$r in the short space of fonr minutes, but our passage from her to the wreck ! consumed fonr times that period aDd tenfold the exertion, while in a few , words the young soldier informed me I L>f the cause of his daring. He had married without the consent j af his colonel, and the regiment being i ?oon after ordered on foreign service, be in vain besought permission for his wife to accompany him. Colonel Ross ! was inexorable, until his daughter, the I poung wife of Captain Clifford? j jspoustd the cause of the anguish- i 3tricken Susan, and ventured to inter- I jedein her behalf. He could deny bis j laughter nothing, so he consented, j 3romi*ing that she should take Susau , into her service, by which means he j vould be spared the charge of suspendng an established rule in her case. In i hin manner had the youthful soldier j md his young wife been spared the pain j )f separation, and in return for that1 [ind intercession he was now proving j ais gratitude. At length we reached the burning j ereck, when a new difficulty presented j tself. How were we to board it ? To .ttempt such a feat to leeward was ! rorse than folly, for the wreck, relieved i if its top hamper, rode partly to the i ibb, which was now setting strong, leaving the dismantled hull into the ; rough of the sea, which made frequent ! (reaches over her, retarding the pro- > ress of the flames, and preserving alnost entire her starboard side. An attempt to board to windward pould have been equal madness, and j pe were debating upon the feasibility j if an attempt to board by the wrecfc of j he mizzen topmast, which hung droop- i ng to the surface, from the stern, when | lunter demanded: 41 How near can you go with safety, j ir ?" " Within tvo beats' length," I redied. "Then sheer in," said he, "and I will wim the rest." "Nonsense t You couldn't!" responded I, startled by the proposition. "I have accomplished feats as dangerous for a less momentous object," said he. "I'll tiy it. I c:?n but fail!" "Give way gently, men!" said I, avoiding a reply for a moment, in order t.n consider tho nrnnnsal in p.11 itH bear ? ? ings, when the boat, losing headway and being to windward, began to close' with the wreck. We were three boats' length, when he dropped his oar and wa3 about to spring, bnt I restrained him, 6aying, "Hold on! You will have a belter chance by that spar over the stern, but how can you reach the boat if you are fortunate enough to find the child ?" "Let me but find it," he exclaimed, " and I can afford to trust for safety in Him who rules the wind and wavep." We were stern to, and within a boat's length of the wreck at the moment, when signing to the crew to give way, I exclaimed. "Go, then, in His name, and here's to go with yon!" And the next instant we were both straggling in the hissing brine. A minute later and we wore clambering up the top-mast, from which we passed on deck, where we were obliged fn nnnso nnr r><i<sanffA lipinp P.Tlt off bv v? jr -r> ? u the destruction of tha main deck from the main hatch aft, a portion of the weather-side forward remaining nn scathed. " If the child lives, nnrescned, it is there, sir, ' paid Hunter, indicating a portion of the foremast, with a heap of smoking canvas which lay along the weather-side, just forward the chesstree. "Follow me, thon," said I, briefly; and clamberirig over the qnarter-rail I crawled along outside the bulwark, clinging to the chained hammock rail, until I reached tha forward channels, when I bounded inboard, followed by my Rallant companion. "it was here I found my wife; and, thank heaven, the child is here, alive!" he exclaimed, as the faint wail of an infant saluted our ears. It was but the work of a minute to clear away the mass which concealed the infant, whom we found lying beside the wreck of the spar, while the charred weather rigging had fallen in such a manner as afforded it protection against injury from the feet of those who must have passed and repassed annt in fVio linrrv nnrl <vrmf,PTMAnt: of abandonment. Hunter clasped the child in his arms, and spurning all my proffers of aid, proceded me to the taffrail by the same dangerous path we had previously trodden, when the boat being near at hand he fearlessly committed himself and charge to tho mercy of the waves. My gallant, crew being prepared for the event were ready, arsd fortunately able to render him prompt and efficient aid, scarce a minute elapsing ere they had him safe on board. My rescue followed, of course, and was effected with greater difficulty, a mountain billow breaking while I was immersed and heading me and tho boat asunder, when nearly two minutes passed ere she came within my reach. At length I wa? in her stern sheets again, and a few minutes later we dropped alongside of the Delmar, where our success was already known, and where our presence was hailed with 1 :F? ? a geuerrx mauiicciauuu ui JUJ. Need I tell you how the eight of that reunion of parents and child rewarded me tenfold for my share in the rescue of the latterl Bat I must add that 1 was delighted when Colonel Ross approached the young soldier?as he stood supporting his now conscious wife, and receiving the congratulations of his friends?and extending his hand, which the young man humbly clasped, said: "Hunter, brave men carry their own reward with them; but, both [as your commanding officer and friend, your action of this night claims at my hands a grateful and public acknowledgment. I will see to your future, and to that of your wife." Although I didn't sleep 3onndly the remainder of th'at night, in the hammock swung for me in the ward-room of the Delmar, yet I never retired to rest bo perfectly contented with myself and all mankind as on that night, rendered memorable by the burning of the Wellesly transpo:t. Custer's Last Battle. The case of Sebastian Beck, whose career among the Sioux Indians has been noted in this journal, has been fully investigated at the county poor office by Overseer McGonegal. During the recounting of his wanderings the old man gave a reporter from thi3 journal a clearer insight into the battle of the "Little Big Horn" than ho had before. Beck, who had been a captive among the Sioux for eight years, participated io that battle. He recounted the details cf the murderous charge upon Caster, in his broken English, in a manner that was interesting, even to those who were familiar with the slaughter of the gallant general and hie band. He said that upon the night of the charge Sitting Bull expected Caster, and hud massed all his forces and had a band of 3,000 warriors, of which he was one. The plan of their battle was as follows: The Indians fenced in a large corral with saplings, and within built fires. Upon the saplings they hung their blankets, and within they fixed billets of wood, to represent themselves as eeated about the fires. They went into the mountains surrounding the spot and waited until Caster and his oompany should be attracted to the trap they had devised. They were successful, for the general saw the light, reconnoitered, and thought his chance hud come. He opened fire upon the Indians. This was the signal. With one fell swoop 3,000 painted fiends rushed down upon him from the mountain sides. In a moment the little band of 300 men were surronnded, and the unequaied battle was commenced. Beck paid that Caster showed no fear, but rode into the fight with eyes and saber flashing, and never raised it but that he left upon some redskin's face his bloody and ragged-edged trade-mark, "X,' whioh so many of his victims in the late war kntw so well. One by one bis men fell aronnd bim, and at last be stood alone among tbem battling with his trusty saber in his remaining right hand. Bat at last he too fell, pierced by seven shots. Beck said that his fight was terrible in its destructiveness. Fourteen of those Indians who entered the fray paid for it with their lives, and their cold, copper* hued faces lay turned to the morning sun next day, with those of the 300 brave soldiers who followed the brave Caster into bis last fight. This is the st^ry of the old captive of the Sioux, who claims he was there and saw that intrepid officer die. His last words were: " I am alone; 1 have done my best; the boys are all gone and I will go with them."?Rochester (<V. V.) Democrat. The Cold Summer. The weather in Now York in the year 181G was as follows: January was mild so that fire was not needed much of the time in rooms. February was mild, with but a few cold days. March was cold and boisterous the first half, then mild to the middle of April, when winter set in with ice and snow, which continued through May. Ice formed and the fruit buds weie killed, and every tender plant destroyed. Corn and potatoes were replanted and killed until too late. June, the oddest ever known; frost, ice or snow almost every night, destroying every prowing tliiDg that cold would kill. Sn^w fell ten inches deep in Vermont aud Maine, three inches in the interior of New York State and a part of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. July was cold and frosty. Ice formed as thick as window glass in New England. Indian corn was killed everywhere except some favored spots in Massachusetts. August was worse still, for where corn escaped it was frozen, cat up, and dried for fodder. Ico formed half an inch thick, and almost every growing green thing was destroyed in this country and in Europe. Very little ccrn ripened in the Middle States; corn for seed in 1817, raised in 1815, co9t from S-i to 85 per bushel. The first half of SeptemLjr was the mildest of the seson; then it became cold and frosty and continued through October. November was the coldest evor known, cold and blustering; snow fell so as to make good sleighing. December, was mild and comfortable. Great fears were felt for the future season, but 1817 was a fine, fruitful season. See that you are proud, but let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy, too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty, too proud to be in company that you cannot keep up with in expenses, too proud tc be stingy. SUNDAY READING. Prcclou# Scntencc. A native of Japan, who took his life in his hands that he might come to a country where God's love was recognized as true, was asked to read in a school iD Boston a sentence in his native language. He consented, and promising that he would utter what was to him the most interesting sentenoe that could be spoken to man, repeated the familiar verse, "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." J need not say that in the New Testament there are to bo found scores of summarie j of tho Gospel like this, which do most positively declare that this is the import and intent of the life and death of Christ; not a part of it, but the whole of it; not a fragment, to be supplemented by other fragments, but the rounded and completed whole, embracing in a sentence all that Christianity emphasizes and declares.?President Porter, RHIkIoum Nrwn and Note*. The British people gave ?5,310,950 for foreign missions last year. Presbyterian pastors are scarce in Texas, there being but seventy for 1G0 churches. The Baptists in the South number altogether 1,715,794, of whom 974,100 are white and 741,094 negroes. The Methodist hospital, on Prospect Heights, Brooklyu, will cost, ground and nine buildings, about $500,000. The first Welsh church in Ohio was founded in 1803. At present there are in the Stato forty churches with 3,000 members. The Rev. James Smith, an English Baptist missionary at Delhi, in speaking of the nrosress of the Gosnel in India. pays: Thirty years ago we used to have a convert every two or three years, now we count them by scores annually. Among the anniversaries recently held in London was that of the South American Missionary society. The magnitude of the work undertaken by this society may bo inferred from the stafement in the report that there are 21,0>)0,000 South Americans within reach of the efforts of the missionaries. Srn Francisco has fifteen Catholic churches and ten chapels, fifteen Presbyterian ohurches, fourteen Methodist, eleven Episcopal, nine Baptist, six Congregational and two Swedenborgian. There are also many churches of a miscellaneous character. It is estimated that there is one church for every 2,000 of the population. Of 185 Methodist churches in Vermont nine have a membership of over 200 each. Total members in full, 15,998. The number of additions by confession during the last year was 600. The Sabbath-schools number -17,751 scholars, 2,531 officers and teachers in 228 schools. Few of these chnrehes date back more than fifty years. The building committee of the Christian church in Washington, of which President Garfield was an cffirial momber, has given out the contract for the new building. The church will be pushed to a speedy and satisfactory completion. It is to be erected on the site of the present frame chapel, which is to be moved. It will be a beautiful addition to the already improved section of the city where it is to be located. The Rov. Griffith John, who has for many years been engaged in mission work in China, was recently in London, where he addressed many of tho churches. Ho says hip chief lament is that the missionary prayer meeting, which was formerly an interesting feature in most churches, bas either been given np or has fallen into a condition of coldness and dullness. He earnestly asks for a renewal of the old-time feivor whioh animated these meetings. He has roturned to China. Biding a Wild Alligator. On last Saturday morning a soene took place at Lake Loohiocea Station, on the Peninsular railroad, which for genuine excitement and sensation will completely lay in the shade the best Spanish bnll-fight on record. A party of men on the wharf saw a large alligator about a hundred yards oat in the lake gently resposing amid the ripple that a gentle breeze was making. Some of the party got into a boat, carrying with them a small harpoon hook, and rowed out to the alligator. When in convenient distance the harpoon was thrown and with unerring shot made its way into the beaf t just behind the right foro leg. No sooner than, this was done, and while the alligator was raging in the waters in its most po^er erful efforts to release itself, one of the party, a Mr. Posey, probably fifty years of age, leaped into the lake, swam to the rearing and surging monster, got upon its back, grabbed it around the neck and rode it to land amid the * ' f At T- _ ' snouts 01 moae wiiu were iwrtuuate enough to witnesa the exciting scene. When measured tbe monster was found to bo ten feetsix inches long. Strange to say, after Mr. Posey had backed him and grappled him around the neck the beast was almost entirely subdued. A few langes and h6 quietly followed the tightening of the rope until he reached the shore, a tamer but greatly confused alligator. His mouth was then muzzled and a rope tied around his belly, and it was hauled up on the platform at the depot. When the afternoon train came along the passengers got out to look at the beast and its valiant captor, and then another scene took place quite as exciting and extraordinary as the one in the water. Posey got on the 'gator to ride it for the entertainment of the crowd. After much tickling and spurring he aroused the animal into such a desperate struggle for freedom that everybody expected to see some one literally chewed up and swallowed by it. In the melee it snapped the ropes that were bound around its long and bruternoutb, and then, making a dash for the ground, it was swung up by the rope, tied by its body and fastened to a post. It soon broke this and fell heavily to the ground, when it put out for the lake. But it was rcarcely landed before Posey was on its back, when a struggle ensued between man and alligator that could scarcely have its parallel in the e ? li^ arena ui auruuttuu ttuuuu. The crowd scattered at this appalling scene, and men there who, if fist fights with alligators were a feasible and practicable thing, would be BtroDg enongh for the business, exclaimed that the world had not treas are enongh to enter such a struggle. Yet in a few minutes Posey was master of the situation, the saurian was conquered and lay as quietly under the grasp of its conqueror as if, instead of 400 pounds of real live alligator, it was the mos cowardly cur. A shout of victory went up for Posey, and parties went to his assistance, and again tying and securing the animal the job was completed, and tho hero of the fight offered his prisoner in market for the trifling sum of 810.?Florida Lcicon. WISE WORDS. Sjme men and women talk by the yard and think by tko inch. When a man's upper story is empty his mouth will advertise the fact. Don't be hasty in your speech, for " a word and a stone once let go cannot bo recalled." Tho power of pleasing is founded on the wish to please. The strength of the wish is the measure of tho power. No man was born wise, for wisdom and virtue require a tutor, though we can easily learn to be vicious without a tutor. Though avarico will preservo a man from being necessitously poor it generally makes him too poor to be wealthy. There are as pood horses drawing in carts as in coaches, and as good men are engaged in humble employments as in the highest. The influence of many good people ii undoubtedly much diminished by their want of that courtesy which has been well called In nevolence in small things. Oar very best friends have a tincture of jealousy even in their friendship, and when they hear us praised by others will accribe it to sinister and interested motives if they can. If there be one thing upon earth that mankind love and admire better than another, it is a brave man; it is a man who dares to look tho devil in the face and tell him he is a devil. A man should be careful never to teli tales of himself to his own disadvantage. People may be amused and laugh at the time, but they wij I be remembered and brought out against him on some subsequent occasion, ?u????? NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The Qreek consul and the Italian vice-consul wnm onrnrpW wnnndftd. Tho Britifth man of-war Superb arrived in port daring tho night and landed 200 men to protect the British consulate. Boats were sent to take on board all British subjects who desired to leave Alexandria, It is estimated that twenty por3ons were killed in tho riots. The rioting commenced on a street near tho Great square, Tho immediate cause was tho stabbing of an Arab by a Maltose. A mob of natives collected, cleared tho street with sticks and made their way into the Great square, where they demolished tho musio pavilions and the furniture in tho adjoining cafes. Europeans precipitately left the square and took refuge for some time at the French consulate. Soldiers were called out.but they looked on without interfering during the work of demolition and bloodshed, tho Ruo.des 8ooura, inhabited chiefly by Europeans, was completely wrecked.

Vexsob, the Canadian weatner prophet, makes the following prognostications concerning the weather during tue summer, autumn and winter: "Tho general outlook for the summer season in southern sections is improving owing to the continuance of very windy weather in northern and western sections of Canada and United States. The probabilities, however, aro inrrpfmincr in He verity on the same basis of reasoning. My theory of 'Wea hor Relationships' is working in a telling maner all over tho country. I now feel considerable confidence in predicting for the periods of tho more prominent disturbances, thus I herewith reiterate my former statement respecting 'a very stormy autumn,' with early settling in of extreme severity and heavy mow-falls, reaching to remote southern points. We are likely to experience one of the coldest periods in a long term of years during the early part of the winter of 1882-83, hut we will have the cold altogether. The latter portion is likely to be mild and open with a very advanced spring." Evictions in Ireland continue at the rate o 1 1,000 a week.

An Incident of Frontier Life. A letter from the Indian territory says : We had been riding some forty miles, and had twice crossed Grand river by ferry, and had arrived in the morning at the ford on Saline creek, near the great salt lick. The waters were falling, as was evinced by the line ?>f sedge along the bank, bnt still ran in a swift and boiling cnrrent. What was easy for ns was another gness matter for an oatfit that came down to the bank just as we started to cross, and which waited nntil we climbed the opposite bank. It was one of the ordinary type of prairie travelers. In the words'of the realistic Western poet, the chief object was "a darn-top wagon," one of the ancient sort, weary with age and hard service, with low bows and dingy covering. This was drawn by a couple of email horses in tolerably good condition. In the rear was a bell mare and foal, Led by a rope from the end was a cow accom j i pttiiiuu uj u uttii, uua me lucvitauio yellow hound dog completed the animals of the outfit. The man was tall and lank, yellow with fever and ague, and tanned to a rusty red by years of wind and sun. Long boots, flapping hat and belted waist wore the charact eristic portions of his attire. Withal there was a fire in his eye and a vigor in his carriage that indicated that he was not to be daunted by unything less than hopeless obstacles. The lady of tho family eat in front, but her features were undistinguishable within the recesses of a dark sun-bonnet of portentious di-1 mensions. Several twc-headed chil- j dren of graduated sizes were en- j sconced amid tho household plunder I behind her. After a pause to examine tho straps and chains, the driver mounted his seat and gathered the ropes that served j as reins. With a whoop and a whack of the long hickory goad, down went the waeon into the jbed of the stream, and the horses bncUed to their I work in the whirling torrent! sweeping under their bellies and then j along their sides. For half tbe stream j they struggled along successfully, bnt in tho deepest part the wagon stnck in spite of every desperate strain, Twice, to a chorus of yells and blows, they strained to their collars and turned up j and down stream in their efforts ; but ! the wagon refused to utir. It was a j crisis. The wagon wheels were becom- j ing embedded in the gravel. The calf j and foal were swimming about their damp, and in imminent danger of beiqg drowned. The man was equal to the occasion. "Hold them ar' lines, Lucy." And with that he was over tS.e endboard, out on tongue, and astride the back of the near horse in an instant. " Whoo oop ! Lay to it-, you little ! fiends 1" i j The huge boots drove the spurs, the hickory goad was wielded with all the i forco of a strong arm, nnd with a fira ! of yells and oaths tin horses buckled down onco more, thero was a struggle and the wagon lifted acd rolled. With a few steps tho depth diminished and j he passage was secure. j The wild hyacinth, says a writer in I tho St. James' Gjzstto, is very essm! tially a bee-flower, one of tho kindd i which have specially adapted them- i selves to tbat one peculiar inodu of in- : sect fertilizition.

" //// / J IH exposure to the elements is productive of much rheumatism among them, and they suffer considerably from pains, the result of cold, bruises, sprains, Ac. , St. Jacobs Oil is a favorite remedy with these J men, because of the splendid service it renders I them. Captain Schmidt, of Tompkinsville, J Staten Island, N. Yv says that he has been a M great sufferer from rheumatism for many years. He had severe rheumatic pains in nearly every J portion of his body, and sufl'ered so that at times 8L" he would be entirely unable to attend to active ? business. He said: " I am o- ate well now. how- ^ ever, and, as you see, I am able to work without 5 any trouble. I attribute my recovery entirely to * St. Jacobs Oil, for I felt better as soon as I com- 5 menced to use that remedy; and whenever I feel 7 anything like rheumatuih coming on, I rub the L place with the Oil, and it always does what is ~" claimed for it. Finding St^acobs OiLdid me so 1 much good, I got my family to use it whenever k they had any pains or colds, and it has done good I in every case when thev have tried it. I can say that St. Jacobs Oil a mighty good rheu- m inatic remedy, and I don't intend to be without it."
