..What I've to bo thankful for the
?oodoess known. What ony ?no baa io
? thankful for is |>aat roy comprehen
eion. Here is this miserable old turkey
gorged day. after day to repletion, putting
on day after day the moat unbearable
airs, strutting and puffing, picking up all
of the choicest bite, always taking his
own shire, and never forgetting to roi
his neighbors ; here he is, bis brilliant
head laid low, his musical gobble forever
silenced, his georgeous plumage flung to1
the four winds of heaven, and himself |
destined for a Thanks-giving dinner 1
He ?sr.sgir??d h!~-eli ons of tho chosen-- j
hi? master's favorite I the very autocrat
of the barn-yard. |
"Now ft seems to me that the men and
women of this world are somewhat,'in
their own opinion, like this defunct
feathered biped. The very elite of crea
tion, kept in the hollow of the Father's
hand and suddenly flung forth on th?
rocks and strands of life ; maimed and
bleeding; etruggliogand dying-wrecked
-lost. Wretched old turkey, lift up j
your headless neck, flap your featherless
wings'iu thanksgiving to! the band that
lured you to your death. And YOU.
Betsy Brown, bo thankful for the hard
fate that leli you broken-hearted and
alone. For twenty years you've in
dulged in the same hypocritical preten- :
sion of submission. For twenty years i
you've knelt at the Thanksgiving ser
mon, you've prepared the regulation
Thanksgiving dinner, you've been out
wardly calm and resigned, but in all Of,
tho Master's kingdom there was not a
fiercer rebel. Resigned? Every drop
of red blood in your veins has turned
traitor to your early teachings.
"Boast turkey and plum pudding, bells
ringing, bonfires flaming, ant? like 'dumb

keeping time to the clanking of chains
which bind us more surely to our misery
than was Prometheus bound."
"Betsy."
"Yes, coming, coming. Was thero
ever another such a name? It is Betsy
here, and Betsy there, until the goodness
knows Pd rather h-.vs been called Jeze
bel, for that, at least, is classically his
torical. It is a fearful thing to be an
old maid. If it was my own fault I
wouldn't complain, but--"
"Betsy."
"Coming, coming. It Is the everlast
ing demand, the baby's new tooth, or I
that irr?pressible nephew of mine has
broken a third-no, I mean bas broken a
leg fpr tho third time, or--"
"Oh, Betsy, Bttsy, can't you come?
It is a lotter, and it is addressed to you,';
and we are dying to see it."
AU of this with a sudden opening of)
the door, hurried words and immediate
exit.
"A letter, and to mel"
"Yee, yes, Betsy," tho door reopening !
again--"and a man bas written it."
Door closed again.
. "A mah write a letter to me, Betsy
Brown, spinster I Weih well, that is
audacious^ certainly," and Betsy Brown
laughed a dimple into each} bf her rosy
cheeki.
' "But, Betsy' ?'t /, Belay!" (tho door j

"Like a man," says Betsy Brown brave

pautry door, and planting her feet firmly.
"The letter, my dear-"

He vas a large bronzed man that came

The narrative of the suffering* of the
c. aw of tho schooner Sallie M. Steadman,
(root Charleston for Baltimore, who were
bi night to New York Monday afternoon
on Ute Schooner Speedwell, is so horrible
in detail that it sounds more like a chap
ter from a sensational sea-novel than a
Stern reality.
The captain of the Speedwell reports
that ha found tko Steelman nearly water
o^ged, but making steerage way, under
fore and maintopsail, northeast of i" o
Bermuda Islands. She was flying thu
American flag, Union down, as a signal
of diatreas. He sent bin.first,mate, II.
O. Sawyer, to her, and he took away all
on board. He reported that nothing
movablo was left on deck, add that tho
men were hardly able to walk. Every
article of food in tho Steelman bad been
consumed eight days previously. The
remains of a man were found, from which
parts of tho flesh had been cut. Some
of the flc?h so removed was found in a
?bartel ??b some salt. This, it was ex
plained to Sawyer, wit* done to preven?,
it from spoiling. The captain, who was
wasted with hunger, told the mate that
two colored men of the crew had quar
relled, and one had kilted the other in
self-defence. Tho body was immediately
cut up and eaten, all hands helping to do
it. Tho six survivors speedily recovered
their health on board thc Speedwell.
TUB HTORY OK THE VOYAGE,
The scbvbner Sallie M. Steelman, of
Somers' Point, N. J., left Charleston, S.
C., on the 17th of December, bound for
Baltimore, with a enrgo of phosphate
rock. Tlie officers wcro Capt. Bomera
Higby, Mate lt. Somers, nnd the crew
consisted of the cook, Sylvester B. Her
bert, Dave Barrett, and three colored
men, George Hicks, Walter Si mpson and
George Seaman. For the first fortnight
the weather was quite mild and the winda
light and variable, so that they made lit
tle headway in their voyage. On the
afternoon of December 30, when about
twenty miles to the southeast ol' Cape
Hatteras, thoy were caught io a terrific
gale from tho northwest, and were lite
rally at its mercy for seventy boura. Du
ring that time they were driven off the
laud in a terrific seaway that stove tb
their boat and washed away everything
that was movable. Their gaffs were car
ried away and their sails split to ribbons.
On tho 3rd of January the storm abntcd
slightly but thc westerly gales still pre
vailed, and as tho schooner was helpless
abe drifted out to sea. The sails were
patched up but they proved of little use.
as they could not stand the etorm, and
there was nothing left for the crew but to
patieutly await the abatement of the gale.
Day by day passed away and still the
wind bowled through the.rigging and the
unfortunate seamen were to??ed about
the ocean without tho slightest encour
aging prospect of any relief from their
perilous position. .
As if to add to the horror of their sit
uation the captain was nt Inst forced to
redttco .tho rations, and on the morning
of the b3d of January they consumed tho
last ot' the provisions. Towards evening
of that day tho pangs of hunger began
to bo felt by these suffering men, and the
vesicl was searched from stem to stern
for any particles cf food that might have
been bidden away. " It was almost a
fruitless labor, and sevoral of the crew
began to despair. On the following day
tbev subsisted on coffee, which proved
very grateful and warmed them up for
the tim?, being j but the want of solid
food began to toil on the colored portion
of tho crow. On that night, January
24, tho wind increased to a gale from the
northwest, and tho unfortunate schooner
labored so heavily that ber decks started
and aho sprung aleak. A' new duty now
devolved 0-4 thcae weak and starving
men, aa it became necessary to keep tho
pumps going all tht. time to keep the
water down. They all took their turns
for another couple of <?4ys, and then the
colored seamen. George Hicks, Walter
Sampson and George Seamen, ga vb np
j from exhaustion, and loft the captain,
I mate, cook und seamen to work the ship
I and mats the pumpa. Thc storm abated
! somewhat on tho 28th of January, and
and the schooner wa? abie to get up a
little sail, but their prospects of reach*
lng port wcro very mcngre, as they had
been driven several hundred miles out
to sea.
"WE Muar EAT."
Thc soveu human beings on board this
schooner had changed fearfully during
the past few days, as their eyes haa
sunken in their sockots, their cheeks
were wan and hollow and thoy were suf
fering, from _ intonso exhaustion, "Thg
cook still kept up a fire in tho galley and
served out hot coffee, which was eagerly,
drack, always affording temporary relief,
through warmth to tho stomach. Ii wes
not coflee, however, for which these un
fortunate creatures were craving, and, al
though no ono dared to make a sugges
tion, there were strange and dreadful
thoughts in their half crazed minds.
This condition of affairs continued until
the morning of the 30th, when a tragedy 1
took plucc, which saved-tho execution of
a project to which they had been almost
driven. On tbs 2StH ofJatiuury tho col
ored man, George Seaman, became al
most delirious, aud would occasionally
leavo hia berth .and wander around .the
deck? half mad. jeurw on thc morning
of the ?ioth" ho turned out of his bunk
and came up on deck., He first mot the
captain, and, after talking in an incohe
rent >*y, threatened to shoot him. The
captain backed away from him, and then
Seaman went to the forecastle. When
he was inside he called on Walter Samp
son, another colored man, and told him
to .got up .or he would shoot him in his
buns. Sampson.tot up and put ou his
things and backed soward the door, but
before he got there Seaman put hia hand
in his pocket to pull his pistol, and Samp
son shot him. Tho body lay tboro for
some little time without any of tho six
survivors venturing to mako a suggestion
as to what disposition should bc made of
it; but finally the subject was cautiously
approached, and one of thc men said that
as tho man was dead, he, for ono, intend
ed to profit by the accident and Cry and
tfave his own life. He cut off G portion
of the body and took it into the galley,
where he boiled if. in a pet. Theothors
had still a horror of feasting on the
body nf ona a\t their SiCS?iSZ?CS ; btv
later in the afternoon hunger prevailed
and the cook fried some small pieces in
a pani which, were eaten with great rel
ish/ There appears to be a slight dif
ference in opinion as to the flavor of tho
meat, aa1 in giving their descriptions of
?he rena*t one of the colored men,said
he would not know it from mutton, while
the cook? thought it'rather resembled
beef. At all evettts, ft proved a worfderV
ful stimulant, a? it revived the exhausted
men and enabled thcrh_ to assist itt th?
mn?agernsni of the vessel.
THE B ESC DE,
The Slat of .January is a day that will
be rea em berni by the ztzrm of the Sallie
M. Stool row? lor the rest of their lives, aa
it brought them dclivertBco from a hor
rible death. Early in the morning they
sighted the schooner Speedwell, and al
though for eome little time they suffered
ail tho agonies of suspense, in tho fear
that their signals of distress would not
be seen, at last their minds were-eea a*
rest as the gallant schooner bore down
toward them, and in a short time a boat
-faa alonando and- relief at baud. The
sudden chango frorp the gloom ?J?espair
to good quarters and'plenty e* Vood al
ttoat set tho sufferers crasy, and forced
Capt. Kecflo, of the Speedwell, to exert
S?at caution in resuscitating their ox?
?uited ?rame*. They were oia'y- given
*} titilo nourishment at a time, and as
.. ._..A L.-JL.
iiiey began tc regain their strength they
were ?Quwed (<i lenrJ a hand in workioT
?.lie schooner. When they arrived'1 ii
?New^York they looked in pretty good
condition, but some ot them have re
I ce? ved such a scare that they say they
have made their last trip to sea.
! THE STORY OK THE SHOOTING,
as told by tho colored seaman, Sampson,
to a Reporter, was as follows:
Reporter. I want you to tell me all
about your trouble with the man you
shot.
Sampson. I shot him in self-defence.
Reporter. How did it occur?
Sampson. The man George, I do not
know his other name, got up very early
on the morning ot the day before tho
Speedwell rescued us. He halloed atine
to get up and come out on deck, and he
acted so wild I felt scared of him. I got
up and put on my clothes. He wa?
standing by his berth, and had his pistol
in the breast pocket of his jumper.
While 1 was finishing dressing, he shout
j ed at me again, and said if I did not get
1 out quick he'd shoot me. I got scared,
and began to back out toward the door,
and just as I got thcro he put his hana
I in his pistol pocket, and I, thinking he
was going to shoot, pulled out my pistol
and shot him. It was done in self
defence.
Reporte,-. Did he pull out his pistol
i before you shotT
I Sampson. I cannot say, bul from the
way he put his hand in his pocket and
from what ho had said I thought he was
going to ahoot, or jjise I would not have
fired. .
The crew remained on board the
schooner Speedwell last night, aud some
provision will probably be made for them
to-day.
THE CAPTAIN'S ACCOUNT.
The Captain of the S'.eel man oaya: "Il
thc negroes had not got into tho quarrel
and killed one of themselves, probably
they would have attacked us. We ha?!
no pistols. That afternoon we cut a pieci
oiT of tho fleshy part of the leg and
broiled it on tho fire. What we did nol
want we put in a barrel with some salt
hecauso we did not want to run the rial
of having another man shot. Tire rest
of the body we afterwards buried witt
proper ceremonies. I ate a piece as larg?
as my two fingers only. It was bandee
to me as it waa taken off the fire, and 3
covered it on both sides with mustard. j
tasted nothing but the mustard, but tha
night ? felt bad effects from it. I resolve?"
tbut I would eat no more of it. I don'
think any of us was in his right min?
on January 30. I am pretty sure I wai
not. It seemed to me as if my blood ha<
stopped flowing. I felt. throughout uv
whole body just as a man's foot feel
when it is asleep. Tho next day tin
Speedwell rescued us. The sch'oonc
went to tho bottom probably the nigh
we loft her."
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2,1878.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks has tele
Sraphed the Herald a reply to Augus
elmont's lettor, published in tho Bairn
journal Jan. 30. Air. Hendricks says:
The purpose of his (Bclmout's) lette
waa to ?how that the views attributed U
me on the silver question are inconsis
tent with opinions heretofore expressed
and therofore it banner be correctly re

desire to be considered consistent, but '.
would rather be certain I am right thai
cousiateut upon this question, f think
have- been consistent. Mr, Uelmon

of March ie, 1869, inc bonded debt mus

correct. The bill to strengthen tho pea

against tho section which held the fait!
o? the Government to the payment c
tho bombi in coin. I opposed it becaus
I thought that the contract allowed tb
payment of tho principal of the five
twenty bonds to be made in Treasur
notes.
Mr. Belmont takes ono aentence toshp'
that I held that the effect of the mcasui
would, be to pay in gold. Had Mr. Be
mont read moro carefully he would has
s?eri that I read the section containin
these r:ordf : "That tho faith of the Un
ted States is solemnly pledged to tb
payment in coin or ita equivalent." an
that I then said: "It will .car.?o tho ri
moval of doubts, and make tlie law 1
read that the debt shall be - paid in coil
That is the effect of this section." Upo
that construction I made my argumei
against tho section, not as in controvert
whether payment should be in silver i
against'gold, but whether. K> might bo i
paper as against coin. It was net que

Mr. Belmont refers to that address, a'

the act of 1870, which excludes the

to remov*?ny do?M, v? settle the *
flicting interpratitkios of tua laws un
whifcbTthe publie obligations waree
tracted, and to pledge the faith of
United States to the payment of si
Obligation in coin. After tatt conai
ration, it became law. It was aeon
lowed by tho act to authorise the refu
twa* of tho national debt/ Thal .'aw pei
ded that $1,<H)0,000.000 of bonds, wbic
authorised, should bo redeemable in c
of the present standard value. Boca
?he act of 1869 was a sqle>,a phxlg
my country, made by competent anti
Hy, I folt that it was binding, so bind:
indeed, that it could only be wpealo
tho prejudice of those to whom it
given.
Why and wherein If. the coinage ?A
1873 more stored and irrencalublo tbao
the coinage act of 1834, which it modi
fied ? Docs t!>e pow?r tn coin money and
regulate the val?e thereof b?lons to the
class of powers that, once exercised, be
come exhausted ? If that were, so, the
power bad been exhausted before the
passage nf the act of 1873. Or is it the
right of tba public or private creditor ei
ther to say to Congress, "You shall not j
exercise tue constitutional power of coin
ing money ard regulating the -value
thereof, beceuse by ch Hoging the atan
dard you may change tho value of invest
ments ?" Wc have not recognized auch a
rule. There would be force io auch a
clause under the act of 1870, which pro
vides for tho payment of bouds iii join of j
the present standard value.
Tho act of 1878 contains no pledge nor
contract. It is legislation under the con
tinuing power of Congress, and subject
to repeal or amendment, like any other
law passed under the same .power. It is
not, therefore, in my judgment n question
of public faith, but one of expediency
only. Being such, it seems to me the
part of wisdom to have some regard to
the condition of financial distress that']
exists in the country, and to tho dis
turbed state of the public mind that per
vades a largo portion of the country.
Any change in tho coinnge ia always a
delicate and important work, and should
be made only after tho most careful con
sideration of all the interests of the coun
try.
Should silver money be restored ;
I bavo thought so. The pledge of 18G9
of payment in coin, and the assurance in
the act of 1870 of payment in coin at the
th m standard value, would seem to au
thorize, almost to require it. Compliqu?e
with p. contract cannot be a breach of j
public faith. Our country is a large
producer of silver. Thc quality <>f money
is important to its value. I think thal
wben restored, silver will approach and
perhaps reach gold in value. But should
experience prove that it must remain
below gold, because of its greater pro
duction, Congress has ample powers to
Eirovide against any evils likely to fol
ow.
