His parish was a, very large one, which ecessitated a good deal of walking. His parishioners thereupon agreed &at he ought to have a horse. Sitting, one day with glass in hand, this question was broached: 'Nit, nes" was his answer, holding up the glass, which was italf full of tvbisky, 'this is my horse, and I Jouldna desire WA better." On his way home one day be found one of ais members lying in a bag full of mire, "What's like the matter wi' ye, John?" mid the minister. "Oh, naething, hie, but (sputter) the oinister's horse has thrown me." -- Trying to Deal.

The boy, not being satisfied at this, again whispered confidentially into the doctor's car; 'ea "Please, sir, mother wants to know what you will give her to spread 'em about the village.

The two men, who are brothers, belong to Port Victoria, the capital of the island of tlahe, one of the groap known as tho Sey- chelles Islands. They had been engaged in carrying proiltrio froin °xi island to another in th, e Venus," a smell sailing craft of about twenty-five tons burthen. This vessel, which was possessed of brit one sail, was worked by a ere* of MX, and in addition to the to men whose names are given above, they had on board, ou the 25th June, St. Amour Levy, their uncle Rosier Lespoir and Julius Lespoir, father and. son; and another man nanieh Adolphe. These six persons sot sail from Part Victoria in the Venus," on a short voyage round the Wands, liv.ving on board a cargo of eggs, and prov.sions for a foal- days' trip. However, shortly after leinving, they encountered bad weather, which. prevented them again mak- ing for land, and four days after leaving port the sail was carried away by the routna OF TILE STORM. By this time the little craft had been blown well ont ioto the open sea, and time ea board were soon aronsed to the perils of position by the fact that they were drifting out of the track of vessels, end by the knowl- edge that their provieiots only cousisted of some IS pounds of rice and about 20 gallons of water, the latter contained in a cask. With the hope of being picked up by a pass- ing vessel growing more and more faint every mornent, and with. the knowledge that no rescue party from shore could theu reach them, the inen divided the rice lute small allowances, and decided that each, man's shave of the fresh water should. be about equal to a eonple of wineglasses daily. Hav- ing made this disposition of their small stook of eatables and drinkables, the six tren taking it in turns to keep a look -out and to endeavor to keep the craft's heal to the sea, settled themselves down to the in- evitable, as it seemed as if their beim. res- cned would be little short of a miracle. With the Indian Ocean spread before their eyes and net a eight of land in any direction the crew spent several days in the open boat, but on the 10th day after starting on their voyage, their provisions, littlt of rice ' and fresh water, became exhausted. For a Dm the men had been partly appeasing their hunger- by eating the eggs which formed their cargo, but the latter soon be- gan to rot, and in a few days were uneat- able. With, therefore, no food left on board it is almost impossible to imagine the agon- es the men wore subjected to, and some of them found the temptation to quench their thirst beyond control. The result was that mare than one of the castaways drank the sea. water, while seven days after the provi- sions had given out, St. Ammar Levy, one of the men, died from the effects of hunger and exposure, and was afterwards. buried at sea. Two days afterwards the man Rosier died. This second death cast 0 ghoul over the now' despairing quartette left on board the vessel, all of whom were by this time in a very low state indeed, but on tho third day subsequent to the soap fine before mixing the other Ingre- dients, and allow it to stand a few hours before using.

Thousands of Cocoanut Trees orn from the Ground and II altdirgam Wrecked. Following are some particulars of the dam- age done by the cyclone which passed over Old Providence and ban Andreas in the Car- , ibbeau sea. Ihe cyclone began about 12 o'clock on the morning of October 8 at • San Andreas. The wind began first with a strong gale from the north-east The vel- ocity of the wind increased rapidly until every thing about the island began to shake from the force. In about two hours after the beginning of the gale the wind sudden- ly shifted to tbe westward and the cyclone was in earnest The islands are mostly de- voted to the cultivation of cocoanuts, and acre after acre of these trees were twisted from the ground and carried Off. Many of the little frame houses characteristic of that part of the world were lifted from their foundations and carried a hundred feet by the wind. At San Andreas the cocoanut crops of about 50 plantations were almost entirely ruined, while others were badly damaoed. At Old Providence the cyclone worked with even more destructiveness than at San Andreas. The island has a population of about 1,500 persons. The planters' houses are elevated from the ground on piles, team- ing a space of about three feet. The wind played havoc tvith these little buildings, and nearly every house on the island was either completely wrecked or badly damaged. On the east side of the island a frame church, owned by tho Baptists, and an- other on the north, owned by the same de- nomination, disappeared. The roofs of these were lifted oft like so much paper and the rest of the buildings collapsed. A 60 -ton schooner named the Atom, owned by Fred- erick Robinson, of Olci Providence, was lying at anchor off Old Providence when She cyclone began. It was blown across the roofs leading from the Island and carried out to sea and has never been heard from. There was no one aboard at the time. Although the eyolone lasted for over 14. hours, no one so far as known .was killed. It will take a long time to rebuild the *reeked houses on the Wood.'

Hudson Bay Railway. Major R. R. McLennan, M. P. for Glen- garry, has arrived in Ottawa from his trip to the Pacific coast. He was accompanied on the tris by Senator McMillan, Major Beattie, of London, and Mr: Lomax, or Alexandria. Speaking of the Huelsoo Bay railway, he said :—" Manitoba and the North-west are sure to become the richest agricultural country in the world. The people in that country who are interested in ranching and farming are all of one opin- ion, that it would be a very great advan- tage to the province and territories if they could get an outlet by the Hudson Bay which would enable them to get their horses, cattle, and sheep, and else their grain, to, the British Market very much chea-per than at present. This road would also be an advantage to the Western States. They would be sure to ex- port their grain, etc7,-133, this route and thereby bring Manitoba to the front. be- lieve it would be an advantage to ourCanes, dian railways in the West, whieli would do a large amount of the carryingtrade from these Western States via the Hudson bay. With the assistance of the subsidy granted by the Domin lan Government to the road to tho S'askatehowan the promoters will now be able to build that portion as a coloniza- tion road. It rens through a most magni- ficent country, one of the best sections of Manitoba. To build and equip the remainder of the road from the Saskatchewan to Hud- son bay will cost about nine or ten million dollars, and 1 believe that the Province of Manitoba. and the North-West will before long undertake to tax theinselvee with that amount. As you will see, it would be a modest calculation to say that the expert ot wheat alone from that country within the next five or teu years will be forty million bushels it year, and the saving of eight cents per bushel which will be effected will amount to over $3,000,000 a year, and this saving on the export in three or four years wanki be suilleient to pay for the building and equipping of the road. This could be extended over a long terni of years and niany people not now in the province would assist in paying off the amount Disinters est on the whole sum required at 4 percent would be 8400,000 per year, which would be one cent per bushel on an export of forty million bushels. However, they would not require to raise this amount, as that par tion of the road has received a land grant from the Dominion Government of 12,803 acres per mile. The company, I understand, has also a bonding power at $25,000 per mile. With et subtantial grant from Manitobitand the North-West there is no doubt but the company eould raise the larger amount re- quired for the construction of the road. The road would also be the most direct route to bring immigration into the North-West, and would laud them upon our own soil with less than one day's journey by rail." Major MoLennau says that the appoint- ment of Mr. Daly SS Minister of the Inter- ior hal strengthened the Government. great- ly. Of the alituitobe, school difficulty he does not care to express oaa opinion at pres- ent. TRU SAD EVENT hope was kindled in the hearts of the surviv- ore by land being sighted in the distance. Later in the day the boat drifted on the shore, where it afterwards sank. Shortly after the shipwrecked men had managed to .crawl on land another of their number suc- cumbed to t e effects of the protracted pd., vations which Ile had undergone on the voyage. It is worthy of mention tho.cduring the thirty days the men were at sea they must have drifted at least 1,300 miles in their open boat, as the place where they ended was subsequently found to be Ras - boor or Ras Madruka, a deserted point on the Arabian coast. While the three surviv- ors were staggering about in search of food and water, they were surpz ised to see coming towards them a solitary Bedouin. This son of the desert WitS at the time regarded 0.9 00 unwelcome visitor, as the brothers Lay3r, knowing that they must have been thrown on the coast of Africa, or Arabia, and know- ing also that in such districts the natives of She country were at variance with the civil- ized world, were under the impression that they would bo either killed or sold into slavery. Their surprise can more easily be imagined than described, when the Bedouin instead of subjecting them to ill-treatment; acted the pert of the good Samaritan by offering them food in the shape of dates and water. The three men eagerly draok d the water, and the two Lavys also DEVOURED TIIE DATES, their first meal for eleven days, but the ex- ertion was too much for ;heir companion, who shortly afterwards succumbed to ex- haustion, 'making the fourth death since the voyage was commenced. The Bedouin hav- ing done all he could to tend to the wants of the shipwrecked survivors, and finding they were incapable of milking any dis- tance, placed them on the backs of two camels which he had with him, and travel- led a short distance to a place in the desert, where his found a tree, under the shade of which he made them lie down. Here he re- mained with his charges for some three or four days, tending to their wants and try- ing to find out where they had come from. Conversation, however, was notpossible, as the language of both rescuer and rescued was different, but after a time the Bedouin mentioned tho word IVIuseat, and the elder Lavy, knowing there was such a place on the Persian Gulf, signified that they would like to be. conducted there. The Arab at first tried to convey to them that the dis- tance across the Oman desert was a idea one, being some 400 miles as the crow flies, andalso asked for money, but finding that his charges were penniless, he, on the fourth day of the sojourn in the desert, finding they had regained a pertion of their strength, placed them again on the camels, set off, himself walking and leading the "ships of the desere " towards civilization, until after a journey of 22 days he led them before the British consul, Dr. Jayakar, at Muscat. THE RESCUED MEN . stated that though on many occasions they had to take a circuitous route in order to avoid villages containing hostile Arabs'ancl at times had to march on incessantly both by day and night, he cared for them in such O way as they little expected, it being gen- erally the rule, when an Arab captures a Christian to convey him into the interior of . the country and sell hire into captivity. In- stead of doing this, however, the rescuer, on the 22nd day after the start on the jour - nett across the desert conducted his &erg - es into the presence of Her Majesty's Consul and the Sultan of Muscat, to rhom they gave an account of their adventures.. The 13ultan at once gave clothes to the French- men, and the English Consul handed over tothesfriendly Bedouin a, sum of Money that should make him contented for life, while the offieeri. and crew of H.
