How an Editor Died— His Cool
ness and Courage —He makes a will
amid the Howling of the Tempest—
The Vessel goes to Pieces and he is
Drowned —A San Francisco corres
pondent furnishes this account of a re
markable case of coolness and cour
age. The gentleman alluded to was
James Nisbet, of the San Francisco
Bulletin who was lost on the steam
ship Brother John^ihan, and his body
was found floating in the ocean seven
miles from land. When it was taken
ashore and examined there was found
■ in the deceased's vest pocket a will,
which was written after the veesel
struck the fatal rock. Contemplating
calmly the terrible scenes about him,
and calculating his chances for life,
he had the cool courage to make su. h
a disposition of his property as woul.l
be most beneficial to those who would
be left behind him. That old man
writing a will amid the howling ofthe
tmnpest that was lashing the ocean
into foaming billows, and surrounded
by drowning men, women and chil
dren, wailing out their agony to the
pitiless winds and the raging sea, pre
sents a heroic picture. Here is a copy
of the will, and let the reader observe
with what care it is written
"A t B ia oh B oard the B bothkb J onathan, I
July 20th, 1866. J
In view of death, I hereby appoint
my brother James Nisbet, at present
engaged on the Pacific Railroad, near
Clipper Gap, California, my sole ex
ecutor, with instructions to wind up
my whole estate, real and personal,
and convert the same into cash, with
all convenient speed, but so as not to
sacrifice the saine, and to pay over and
divide equally between himself and my
•ole sister Margaret Nisbet, uow resi
ding in England ; and under burden
of the payment of a legacy of $5000
in gold to Almira Hopkins, wife of
Casper T. Hopkins, insurance agent,
San Francisco, California. And I
desire that my brother, said Thomas
Nisbet, shall not be asked to give se
curity for his intromission with my es
täte. Jas. Nisbet.
The document was written with a
pencil, the writer coolly recollecting
that pencil marks are less affected by
water than ink. It was clearly writ
ten, in Mr. Nisbet's bold and
steady penmanship. When he had
concluded the will he found that he
had a little time left before the ship
would probably go down, and he ad
ded the following brief note to a fam
ily in this city where he had boarded
for many years :
"My Dear Ma—A thousand affec
tionate adieus. You spoke of my
sailing on Friday—hangman's day—
and the unlucky Jonathan. Well,
here I stand with death before me.
My love to you all—to Casper, to
Belle, Meilie, and little Myra—kiss
her for me. Never forget
G randpa."
The children familiarly addressed
the old man as grandpa, although he
was in no way related to thorn.
Grant and i Sherman— Mutual
Opinions. —A letter wriiten by Gen.
Grant in the spring of 1864, when be
was about to be nude Lieut. General
to Gen. Sherman, and the reply
thereto, of the latter, have been made
public.
Gen. Grant with his chaacrteistic
modesty, said that, for his success, he
was indebted to many officer.-, but
more especially to Gen. Sherman and
McPherson, for whom he also express
the warmest friendship.
Oen. Sherman said, you do your
self injustice, and us too much honor ;
and proceeded in a most cordial and
unaffected manner to declare his un
bounded admiration for the character
and abilities of Gen. Grant, and the
happiness afforded by his friendship.
My only point of doubt, said General
Slierman, was in your knowledge of
grand strategy, and of books, of sci
ence and history, but I confess your
common sense to bave supplied all of
these.
The Wrong Bier .—Tom Cooke
tells a 6 tory of an occurrence at a pro
vincial theatre in Ireland, where M&
cready was personating Virginius.
In preparing for the scene in which the
body of Dentatu s is brought on the
stage, the manager called to "Pat,"
bis property man, for the bier. Pat
being of a "heavy" temperament, res
ponded to the call, by saving he would
fetch it "immaditly." Pat next made
his appearance with a full foaming
pot of the right sort, and was received
with a thousand and one curses for his
etuipd ty. "The bier you blockhead !"
thundered the manager. "And isn't
it here ?" exclaimed Pat, presenting
the mug. "Not that you donkey— I
mean the barrow for Dentatus." "Then
why dont you call things by their
right name ?" muttered Pat. "Who
would suppose you infant the barrow
when you called for beer?"
In Cochin China they harness
bulls to chariots and run races with
them. Singular coachin'.
