THE STORMY SEA.
Awful Ordeal of the Crew of a British
Schooner.
Ivor Nine Days They Mute to theWreeit—
Duly Three Men Survive.
A Boston special says :—The Spanish
steamer " Palen tip o," which has just arriv-
col from Matanzas, brought three men of
the British schooner" Windermere,
" which
sailed from Key West on Sept, le for
Mobile, to load for Port Spain, Trinidad.
The " Windermere" was capsized in a
heavy squall on Sept. 7 180 miles off Mobile,
The three rescued men had been. clinging
to the bottom of the vessel for nine days
when taken off by the steamer. Those who
were drowned were the captain, John
Charlton, and his wife, of Port Lorne, N.S.;
the first mate, Truman Holman, of Anna -
polio, N. S.; the steward, Henry Sands, a
native of Norway, and a seaman, Daniel
Anguse.
The rescued men, Charles Le Cain,
second mate; dames Clarke and John
Matte= able seamen, tell a story of suf-
fering, deprivation and exposure seldom
equalled. The following is Le Cain's ace
count
MR SECOND MATE'S STORY.
"On Sone 7, while the captain was below
working upon his morning observation, a
squall was seen corning down upon us from
the windward. The captain was called on
deck, and just as he came up the gangway
the squall struck the vessel and she almost
immediately went over. The last I SPAV of
the captain he was galling to his wife in the
cable. rone the time the vessel started to
go over not more than one minute elapsed
before she was bottom up, Wheu I got to
the keel 1 looked aft and saw James Clarke,
and on the forward part of the keel was
John Mattson. Cries of help were heard
from the water, but we were utterly unable
to render the slightest assistance, Over
the port quarter was captain Charlton,
struggling to get on to one of the rail boxes,
whion he eucceeded in doing, In the mean-
time Mr. Holmes, the mate, and, Seaman
August, sank within a few yards of each
other, the mate not uttering a word ; but
poor August, as he went down, gave an
whit weave The captain clinging to the
rail box, was now floating away astern. He
said something. It was either `Good-hY,
bays'; or, 'Save my poor wife.' We had

us, anacontinued to evatoh him until he

clothing., On the next day we caught two
small sea birds which we were very glad
to eat ram. The night of the laeXt day was
very cold, and seas were going right over
ne.Ne more vessels were seen until the
13th, when, three or four passed by us, all
a considerable distance away. On Sept.
14 other vessels passed us, but again we
were unable to,atereet their attention. On
Friday, Sept, 15, it was very hot, and our
lips and mouths wore parehed, as if we had
been eating glue. We could seemly open
our mouths, but no one of us ;implanted
very much, farther than to wish for a drink
or something to eat. On &Motley morn-
ing, at about. five o'clock, we discovered a
steamer on our starboard quarter, which,
thank God, came to our assistence and
took us on board. The steamer was the
Palentino.'
SITARKS SWARMED ArLOYND TIX5 \MEM
An editor of the steamer "Palentino'
says:
" We were about 123 utiles out from
Matanzas, opposite Lyke leases, when we
discovered, through the glees, the hull of a
vessel floating bottom up, with something
that looked like living objects. We rapid-
ly neared, and we found that there were
three men huddled together on the bottom
near the keel. Bot e were put off with
some difficulty, for, as we neared the wreak
we discovered that it was surrounded, by
myriads of sharks, wineh, in their desire,
were tumbling about and over earth other,
waiting for the time when these poor un-
fortunates shouli become their prey. We
had to near the side of the hulk suflioiently
to permit the men to jump into the boats,
We did so, and one man braced himself up
and jumped. Ile lauded, and. hugged the
MAU near him and then fell from exhaus-
tion. The second man also was suocessful
and he clung to his fellow sufferer. The
thief], and last man was nervous, and, see-
ing the sharks which crowded almost upon
the hull, he shut his eyes and sprang for
the boat. His leap fell short, and if it had
not been for the activity of elite of the men
in the boat he would have famished a meal
for the ferocious man-eaters,
IlINAI3LU TO AID THEIR PERISIDSTO COURADES.
"From the men I learned that the cap-
tain's wife was im bed in the cabin when
the squall struck. One of the men said
that the captain and two of the crew could
have been pulled upon the bottom of the
vessel if they had had any means of giving
them a hold. But they were obliged to sit
and watch the desperate men struggle for
their lives, and then, from mere exhaustion,
sink to the bottom of the deep. There was
a black dog on the vessel, and the Door
brute did not give up his life until he had
fought for two hours or more to get on the
bottom of the wreck: On the third day the
men noticed something of white appearance
above the edge of the vessel, and it proved
to be the body of the captain's wife. The
body floated about for a short time and then
went down."
Three years ego a priest named Laporte
i
arrived n Pau, where he lived in the great-
est retirement. Shortly before his death,
which occurred last month, he asked that a
small box, which he had under his bed,
should be buried with him. His request
was, however, not complied with, and the
box on being opened, was found to be
richly lined, and to contain the head of a
woman about thirty-five years of age, with
beautiful hair. The housekeeper stated
that he had been in the habit of locking
himself in his room and contemplating for
hours some object which it is now supposed
was the woman's head.
Breeelaloading rifles were invented in
1811, but did not come into general use for
many years. It is estimated that over 12,-
000,000 are now in actiml service in the
European armies, while 3,000,000 are re-
served in the arsenals for emergencies.
At Sandringham, the young Princesses of
Wales tramp about in all sorts of weather.
They wear special porpoise -hide boots that

they don maokintothes and arm themselves
with umbrellas, and plod down the lanes -as
cheerfully as if they could not command a

It has been computed that in a single
cubic foot of the ether which fills all space
there are locked up 10,000 foot tons of

To unlock this boundless stet e and subdue

FORGOTTEN IIEBOBS.
tty Nev. (ace. UIlepwerili,
There is a great deed, of heroism in the
world that never gets 'sting by the poet.
Those wondrous instauces cif self-sacrafice
and endurance which burn on the historian's
page lute such a glow and warmth that all
our hearts are melted, are but specimens of
what is being borrieand done every day.
No record will ever be made of the heroism
of everyday life,but some time in the great
future, we shall linger ia tile ;kora of the
celestial library in the New Jerusalem, and
read of deeds unsung and, never eulogized,
as worthy of remenebrance 05 any that are
recorded by eloquent pens for the admir-
ation of a world.
I am heclined to believe that every- true
man has in lihn the staff out of which
heroes are made. It slumbers in 80010 deep
recess of the heart, and may never be welled
forth, or when a great and sudden calamity
befalls the home or the city it may at once
declare itaelf
Joseph, the Second, of Austria, with
the fate of a whole people depending on his
life, with a jeweled crown waiting for him,
forgot everything when his lovely wife
was stricken with a terrible trialadyS and
thinking only of hisown broken heart,held
her in his arms while dying, and. kissed her
cold lips when dead. What was empire, or
'wealth, or throne to him then? He was not
the future emperor, he was simply the hus-
band of Isabella. The whole continent
rang with his praises. From, that time to
this his heroism him been named only to be
wondered and admired. The mush; of that
deed has eohoed through the length and
breadth of three generations.
But do you think that an imperial hus-
band is the only one who buries his heart
in the grave of hi$ info amd risks everything
in his grief at his loss? I tell yen, nay, Far

Sorrow is demooratic. It regards neither
ring nor sem. It kuocke at the door of the
hut, and. though unwelcome, crosses the
threshold and does its work ; it lifts the
e lden knocker of the palace door, and with-
out the least ceremony, takes its place by
the skle of queen or dauphin. And, better
than that, the power to endure its presence
and to yield bravely to as will is also de,

RAlfiWAY ADOIDENTS,
Sum:scene Say They Would nether Deal
With Thole Which Occur at Night.
Railway surgeons would rather deal wale
the victim of a night than of a day aueident.
Some of the °Mese of them in attendance)
upon the Pari-Arnericee Medical Congress
stated this with much positiveness. They
deolared that a daylight aeoldent by rail
adde greatly to the horrors as well as to
the fatelities. The difference is in the in-
crease in the mental strain, which is so
much greater by day than it is when dark-
ness veils the scene. This strain, the
surgeons argue, is greater than in the case
of the soldier going into battle, for lie
carries with him the hope that, somebody
else will stop the bullet. The shock enters
very largely into consideration with the
railway surgeon. By this is meant the
mental instead of the physical shock. This
mental shock, the railway surgeons say, is
greatest where through the sense of sighb
the injured is conscious for a few moments
of approaching danger. The case of the
brakeman who, while making a flying
switch, catches his foot in the frog is a good
illustration. He. can not tear himself loose.
He sees the loose car coming down, and
knows what is to happen.
The mental shock to that man makes his
condition much worse than that of a man
whose foot is caught and crushed eo sudden-
ly that he does not have time to appreciate
the impending danger.
The railwaysergeous say tbat many fatali-
ties occur for which this Mental shack is
responsible, rather than the physioal injury.
They say that experience proves injuries at
night to be less likely to prove fatal. They
aecount for this by the .act that, the in-
jured has noteen able to comprehend wh at
was coming, as he might have done in the
day throe
Necromancy Unvelie d.
Another reason why I can afford to sur-
render the outlines and explanations of the
following tricks le that I ein not afraid of
any one who reads this ankle becoming ra
mming y
rival. Theory is oue thing, practioe an-
other, and it would require weary months
for the quickest -witted and moat dexterous -
heeded to attempt in public the perform-
ance of these tricks alui illiteions, even
whea the methods are minutely explained.
Even should any of my readere, visiting my
receptions, proclaim in public iny methods
discovered by thia article., I am prepared to
coufound thorn by proving their mistake,
1 perform the same trick in a dozen differ-
ent ways-. Therefore the seeptioal may rest
n assured that the explanatione here given are
accurate.
✓ I must first premise that palmistry is the
O absolute requirement of every magician. By
1. this term I mean the manual science thes-
e trateil in the appearance and diseppearance
s of coins, cards, and small articles, and their
, reproduction again hi the most unlikely
, pieties, elicit as the ears, hats, and pockets
of the spectators. No defined. rules that
, have ever been written will make one a
t skilful palmist. Natural aptitude, quick -
noes of eye and motion, certain formations
of the hand, and constant practice are the
necessary qualifications. I have taught
f many amateurs this art, and several of my
students give a creditable parlor entertain-
ment. While it would be simply impossible
for any one to become a necromancer with-
out u knowledge of this science, the perfee-
tion of it is but the beginning of magic.
Tone; tonal), and brilliancy are the qualifica-
tiona of a good pianist. They are acquired
only when the laborious practice ot exercise
and settles has been exhausted. Sbeehe
magician is evolved from the practice of
palmistry. With this understood, the ex-
planation of sleight-of-hand illusions will be
best appreciated. --[A. Herrmann, in Oe -

all be burned.
ne seized a couple of bucket's, looked
first at the sheet of flame between him tend
the running river, then at his wife and
little ones, and was ready for the saerifice.
With clack, bravo bounds, he rushed,
through the burniug wood, and came back
with water, but fearfully scorched. A sec-
ond journey he made, and, this time the
flesh hung in shreds from his arm. But
what were four buckets of water at such it
time as that? The air, seven times heated,

Wife and children must be saved. He for-
got all about himself. He was of the stuff
out of whieli the ancient Greeks made their

can find nothing braver or grander. A
third time he rushed to the river. But the
eager and revengeful fire, beaten twice by a
soul that forgot its body, and took no note
of pain determined not to be balked again.
It hissed. in his face, it curled up all round
about him, burning his clothes fairly off.
The old hero with agiant's will battled, but
the odds were too great. He dropped his
bizeket, grew dizzy, then faint, and at lase
fell.
A great soul fell there.
When, with eyes wet with tears, with
cheeks crimsoned with admiration of such
heroism, yob. ask me : Who was this elan?
I answer : No one knows. He is one of
the nameless heroes. He was only a com.
mon workman, and yet he stands side by
side with the greatest, &rival of those grand
souls whose deeds are sung anew to each in-
coming generation.
The other story ip very like this one. The
scene is laid in the midst of it fire in a great
city. On a Sunday morning, when all the
populace had gathered, silent and sad, to
see the fittme.fiend do his very worst, a
fonr.story house, which had been thought
beyond the reach of the flames, eau ht five

spot on -the roof.
When the house was fairly enveloped, a
woman rushed to the window and frantic-
ally called for help, It was almost certain
death to make the attempt to save her, and
yet no sooner did that agonized face make
its appeal to the crowd below, than it fire-
man grasped it ladder, stood it against the
wall., and began the ascent. Never think-
ing of himself, he clanibered no, and was

that made every beholder shieer with
agony, the whole wall fell in, and woman
and fireman were lost in the co,„citling,
hissing flames, aiit rose it liundred feet in

Coleridge once said of John Gough, the
wonderfully clever blind botanisb, geolo-
gist, and methernatmlan, "His fame sees all
over; it i$ all one eye." Here is the key to
the extraordinarily rialto faculties of the
notable blind people of the world's history,
the people who have written and sung and
travelled and wrought with profit to them-
selves and humanity. The remark might
be amplified, however, for not onlyis the
,
face of the intelligent blind person all one
eye," but the ears, the feet, and all tho
ooytheseil; oniteirembbeirisada.utl organs of the senses are
It is a well-known fact that injury to one
eye or one ear often renders the other eye
or ear mere acute as a reside of the double
duty which it is called upon to perform.
So with the blind. The loss of the most
valuable a,nti must important of all the
senses naturallyquiekens the other Sentles.
Instead of "seeing" the blind "feel," as it
were, and instances of the extraordinary
development to which this power of "feel -
Mg' has been carried by the sightless are
ahnc. innumerable. One of the earliest
veracious instances of remarkable achieve-
ments by the blind is the Odyssey of Homer.
Although bliudness did not fall upon the
great opie singer until late in rife, his
grandest works were composed after the
blight had fallen upon him. In fact, it is
possible that had be not been stricken the
world might have lost his immortal epic
poem.
Between the time of Homer and that of
Mattel there were doubtless many notable
acid( oients by the blind, but few of them
hemem % down to us. Here and there we
come acre instances of the kind such as
the fabled return of the 300 knights whose
eyes had been put out by the Saracens, and
who nevertheless found, their way somehow
or other hack to Europe. But it is only
within the last 200 yews or so that authen-
tic recorcie of wonders wtought by the blind
have been preserved, The story of Milton'e
misfortune and hissuhsequenb contributions
to the (muse of religion is it matter of house-
hold knowledge. Here and there one finds
in old books a brief reference to Francis
Salinas of Spaumevho developed remarkable
ability as it musician in the early part of
the sixteenth century. A century and a -
half later Turlagh Carolan won undying
fame as the Mimi composer and harpist,
though with him the harp was simply it
means to an end—the end et composing the
graeeful songs ;tad Aire, some of which still
live. About this time lived Nicholas
Saunclereon, who, though blind from eleild-
hood up, beeome Lucasian professor of
iatheme.ties at Cambridge University,
sueceedmg such men as 'Whiston and Sir
Isaac Newton. In addition to his fame as a
mathematician, Sauntierson beeame widely
known as it numismatist. It is said of him
that he viola identify any coin handed to
hint by simply pasaing his hands over it,
and, as the story goes, he was so expert
that lie even detected certain counterfeits
of Roman coins in one of the great collec-
tions.
William Talbot, who was ben) in 1781 at

at Genera in /750, and became blind at
seventeen years of age, devoted himself so
suceesefully to the study of the habits and

John Metcalf, a Yorkshireman, who lett

from the affliction that few of his young
companions could excel him in riding,
