BY JULIAN A. SELBY There are heroes in peace as well as in war, and the good deeds of | both deserve record. In December last, the bark Mendota sailed from Java for New York, with a valuable cncTg?. The vessel had barely start? ed, when the captain and one sailor were taken with Javan fever, and the command devolved on the first mate. Soon the only other mate, the, cook and with the fever, and then it extend? ed through the crew, until ulti? mately but five men were able to work the vessel. ' The second mate died? but the captain lingered, and then the chief mate, the Command? er,^ ^was1 seized' with fever. But thongh sick, ho had the spirt with in him which never yields, and this enabled him to fbaffle the fever. He crawled out of the cabin on his hands and knees "to get the sun," crawled to the chronometer to get the time, and then worked out the ship's position. For several days, with every part of the vessel reek? ing with fever, this brave man worked the ship, never turning her aside to seek a friendly port for aid; but he and his small crew finally became so weak that they had to alter her course, and they stood for, St. Helena. Six days afterwards they reached there, and a hospital surgeon sent on board described the misory in which the crew and the brave commandor wore found. This voyage the ruato describes as the "toughest" he ever experienced, and it will go upon recprd, oh account of the heroism displayed, among the famous voy? ages o? the time. . . -1-! She was srdall-f?otcd,. but very plump; 'he was large-footed, but gaunt; and he had his boot-legs made to fit. He wagered her a pair of gl?ve3 that' she couldn't get his boots' on. ' She gazed scornfully at hia splay feet, and greedily accept? ed. And then she tried to get the boots o,n. And then lie didn't have to got the gloves. Of course, this happened in St. Louis. The lie puMican'- relates tho story, and its ingenuity in explaining the lady's failure is a pardonable exhibition of local pride. A telegram concerning a fresh Texas corpse concludes thus: "Mr. Patrick was a dangerous man in liquor, and frequently remarked that he had not killed a man for three years." Susan B. Anthony says that there are 000,000 professional drunkards in the United States, and that one woman in seventeen is married to such an artist. She never would do it herself, thongh. Meissonier is the best paid artist in France. He takes two years to point a picture less thau a foot square. His latest work was this size and sold for $24,000 in gold. Tho'Mennonite immigrants have brought the knout into Kansas. They recently applied it to one of their number, who failed to return a pocket-book he had found. TO-DAY AND EVERY DAY!
