The Story op a Wreck. —In these
days of wrecked steamships, this cu
rious story connected with the loss of
the Central America, which foundered
at sea off the coast of Georgia, in
1857, with six hundred passengers
and $1,600,000 of treasure, has pecul
iar interest. Sixty of the passengers
of the ill-fated vessel were picked up
by a Swedish bark and taken into Sa
vannah. Gen. Sherman says:
"A few days after, I was standing
in the vestibule of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and heard the captain of the
Swedish bark tell his singular story of
the rescue of these passengers. He
was a short, sailor-like looking man,
with a strong German or Swedish ac
cent. He said that he was sailing
from some port in Honduras for Swe
den, and running down the Gulf
stream off Savannah. The weather
had been heavy f«»r several days, and,
about nightfall, as lie paced his deck,
he observed a man-of-war hawk circle
about his vessel, gradually lowering,
until the bird was as it were aiming
at him. He jerked out a belaying-pin,
struck at the bird, missed it, when the
hawk again rose high in the air, and a
second time began to descend, con
tract his circle and make at him again.
The second time he hit the bird, and
struck it to the deck. This strange
fact made him uneasy, and he thought
it betokened danger; lie went to the
pinnacle, saw the course he was steer
ing, and, without any particular rear
son, he ordered the helmsman to alter
the course one point to the east
After this it became cpiite dark, and
he continued to promenade the deck,
and had settled into a drowsy state,
when as in a dream he thought he
heard voices all around his ship.
Waking up, he ran to the side of the
ship, saw something in the water, and
heard clearly cries f«*r help. Instant
ly heaving his ship to, and lowering
all his boats, he managed to pick up
sixty or more persons who were float
ing about on sky-lights, doors, spars
and whatever remained of the Central
America. Had he not changed the
course of the vessel by reason of the
mysterious conduct of that man-of-war
hawk, not a soul would probably have
survived the night."

Naturally.—A man in Michigan
procured a divorce fron his wife, in
tending to marry another woman.
The latter, however, got tired waiting
and married another man on the day
the divorce was granted. Then the
fellow hebitated whether or not to try
to make it up with his wife again, and
while he was hesitating his wife mar
ried another fellow. This is what
would naturally be called getting left
all around.
Two Reasons. —"Here's a boy down
hero who wants to lick me!" exclaiméd
a bootblack as he approached a po
lieceman on Griswold street, yester
day. "He does, eh? what for?" "Says
I called him names, but I didan't." Are
you affaid of him?" No, not exactly,
but I don't want to fight. One reason
is, I promised my dying mother I
wouldan't and the other reason is
'casse he's bigger'n I ami"
Carpenters are given to vice—they
do so much chiselling.

An Australian Lawyer. —The keen
ness of the Philadelphia lawyer has
passed into a proverb. The following
from the Melbourne Argus, shows that
he has a rival in his Australian broth
er: "A gentleman of the legal pro
fession, at one of the great mining
centers, having spent a gaudy even
ing at a leading hotel, found the fresh
air too much for him. Instead of
reaching the bosom of his family, he
gravitated to the lock-up, with the
much needed assistance of a servant
of the Queen in full uniform. The
lock-up keeper didn't know him and
consequently couldn't send for his
friends to bail him out, as is frequent
ly done by those tender-hearted offi
cers of justice, so he was allowed to
sleep until seven in the morning,
when he was aroused and asked his
name, which he promptly said was
'Johnson.' . He obtained, soap, water
and a clothes brash, and was re
freshed by a cup of tea. He then pro
posed that the officials should walk
beside him to the police court. When
the time came this was done, and by
keeping the officers in earnest con
verse, it appeared as though the law
yer was engaged upon some business
before the court and when the name
of Johnson was called, he calmly rose
and said, "I appear for the prisoner,
your worship." "What!" said the po
lice magistrate, "do you deny that he
was drunk?" "Oh, no," he replied "he
was very drunk, bat is very sorry for
it." "Five shillings, or six hoars im
prisonment," said the police magis
trate. "I will pay his fine myself,*
said the ready-witted gentleman, who,
in this instance, showed that the man
who is bis own lawyer hasn't always
a fool for a client."
Two Women Sold For a Nickel—
The Springfield (Mo.) Leader says:
The sale of the two miserable creat
ures, Mollie Mitchell and Ida Jones,
alias Lash, did not take place accord
ing to the announcement made some
weeks ago, on account of their being
non ett when the time arrived. They
turned up a few days since, and this
morning were duly offered to the high
est bidder at public outcry at the
front door of the court house. This
kind of property does not seem to be
in much demand, at least when offered
in a public way. Mary was first pre
sented. She stood up before the glar
ing crowd with the nonchalance of a
brazen statue. The auctioneer spoke
eloquently of her valuable qualities,
but did not receive a hid. Mary re
turned apparently disgusted. Ida
then came forward with agile step
and smiling face. The officer again
and again asked, "How much?" Af
ter complimentary remarks to several
gentlemen, Ida pointed to Bud Fagg
and said: "That's the fellow I want
to go with." Bud bid five cents. No
one seemed willing to advance on this,
and she was knocked down to him.
He borrowed a nickel from Judge-,
and took possession of his property.
Bud only, intended to buy one, but sub
sequently learned that the sale em
braced the whole of 'em.
This is a serious subject. It is al
most incredible that such things could
be in this enlightened land of churches
and benevolent societies. We shall
not undertake to say who is to blame,
but there is certainly a screw loose in
society when such facts exist.

"Pa," said a little boy, "does God
know everything?" "Yes, my son; but
why do yon ask that question?" "Be
cause," said the boy, "our preacher
prays so long telling him everything, I
thought he wasn't posted."
