off the shore by a wintry northeaster,

how men would feel under these condi-
tion# after they had dravm almost near
enongh to the home fireside to feel itn
warmth. It was only a little while ago
that a Portland captain, returning from
a long voyage, had worked his vesw-1
well up to the harbor's mouth.
Then in his profound relief he resigned
the ship into the hands of his men, wen:
below and proceeded to acquire unt>>
himself a load that sagged that part of
the ship mightily. So when that north
eMter came down pwt old Seguin th
captain didn't know a gale from a tun

away from home and comfort. Th
captain never sobered off so q.ri- !;
in all his life, but it was no use; he va-
in for it. For nine days they struggled
with a raging sea. hundreds of miles uff
the coast, with iced ringing stiff as iron,
and suffering everything but death
When the storm abated, and the captain
finally toiled weakly into Portland bar

doubt about that.—Lewiston Journal.

It doesn't seem |*>s»ib!e that we could
get any worse poBtal service than wo arc
getting now, and young blood may bean
improvement. The way newspaper mad
Is handled is especially outrage.,u-
Washington city is but six hours from
New York, and yet the Washington Kan-
day morning papers are not deliver: 1
here till Monday. Pittsburg is but I
hours from here, and the Pittsburg Sm.
day papers are not delivered here at ' h
newsstands before 3 or 4 o'clock Monday
and not to individual subscriber* null'
Monday night. Not infrequently Mon
day's paper gets to the subscribers before
the Sunday issue. Chicago h but a day
off, yet it takes two and sometimes three
days to reach the New York subscriber-
of a Chicago morning newspaper. I get
papers from these cities and know this i-
so, and I know it is the same with othei
newspaper mail.
The letter mall is uncertain. Some
times it is on time, more frequently not
Sometimes a letter mailed in New York
to an address in the name city will reach
the party addressed within a couple
hours—very often not the same day. The
whole p<*tal service seems to hnre be
some demoralized and uncertain. In
short, it is outrageous and ought to be
amended without delay.—New York

Commotion Prodnoad by mi Enbomd Kgli
On Tuesday, at the residence of Mr.
William Early at Pine Valley, was found
an egg having the following in raised
letters on the shell: "The judgment da.\
is now at hand. All ye toke warning."
The news soon spread over the enttr
community and create<l intense excite
ment, especially among the children and
negroes. Some were crying, some were
singing, some praying, and all were re-
penting.
The egg was laid by the favorite hen
and under the front doorstep, and there
was to l*i a dance that night, and Mr
Early's wife and daughter were the tw> >
most popular dancers in the community
while he was the violinist for the occn
sion, but the finding of this egg broke up
the pleasures of the evening.
The excitement among the negroes pre-
vailed all day and night. Some pray< t
all night, and one old negro after wrf
tling with his sins all night, and was on
hia kneea supplicating his Master's mercy
upon hint, heardabngle blown by one of
|i« neighbors and fell prostrate to the
ground from fear of the idea that it
was Gabriel's trumpet.—Cor. Galveston
N«ws.
How H« Formed Hli Opinion.
Jim Thornton, who just now occupies
a position of extrems prominence in the
Tenderloin precinct, haan't a very high
opinion of human intelligence as dis-
played in the swell cafes. He tells this
•tory to show that his opinion in this re-
spect is correct:
During the recent excitement about
the nearnees of Mars to the earth he was
sitting in the rear room of a Broadway
cafe fiat broke, but very thirsty. He
had nothing to do, so he sat down and
wrote a song, which he called "My
Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon."
When he finished it he offered it to
the bartender for a couple of drinks and
a dollar. The bartender laughed at him,
and Jim walked away with his thirst
and the. song. Pretty nearly every one
know* the song now, and the royalty
from it^ allows Jim to spend over $50 a
week in the cafes all over town. v""

Cnptxln McKay ami His Passenger*.
The fact is that the excellent captain
of the Umbria, Captain McKay, was a
little more open with his passengers than
was quite prudent, With the laudable
desire of sparing them any unnecessary
anxiety, he informed them plainly of the
cause of the stoppage of their course and
genially a- rred them of their perfect
safety So far, so good. The passengers
had a right to ask that much, and it was
but sensible to let them know the truth
and not imagine worse things for them-
selves. [Jut what the passenger* had no
right to ask t<,r was information as to
the course 1,'i.at the captain was going to
pur-iie, and Captain McKay made a
mistake in not snubbing the first gentle-
man who qu tioned him on the subject.
'Why don't you send up roekets?" one
of the pa.-sen rers is said to have plain-
tively demanded. "There will be time
enough for rockets when a vessel comes
near enough to see them." answered the
captain evasively, but courteously.
The politeness was fatal. After the
Implied admission that rockets and other
ships were necessary to their salvation
the passengers bad a terriflic hold upon
the unlucky commander of the ship.
Had he only answered, as he would
i have been perfectly justified in doing
j and as a great many other captains
i would certainly have done, "Whatbusi-
j ness is that of yours?" ho might have
made himself a little unpopular, but ln<
[ would have saved himself from much
i further worry. The passengers seem to
, have actually divided themselves into two
' different camps end discussed a vote of
confidence or censure. Happily com
! mon sense carried the day, and a vote of
i confidence was carried. What would
havo been done had the vote of censure
1 been passed we cannot guess, but this
. at least we may say—that if that motion
! had been carried it would have Is-en the
plain duty of the captain to put the
I mover, seconder and principal supporters
! of the resolution in irons.—London Spec-
! tator.
