M. Leeds train -on April '24 on a reef off Turnabout Island, in the Formosa Straits, off the China coast, -Only brief cable reports have been received of.the disaster. The vessel struck a sunken rock in a thick fog early in the morning. Every one was aroused, and the Captain soon saw that the vessel must be abandoned, as she WAS filling fast, and showed a tendency to capsize. Just before the life boats were ready to be lowered, a swarm, of Chinese piratical junks came from the neighbor- ing meirlabd: The queer -looking vessels sailed ittilskile of battle, and Capt. Reed, real- izing the'd tiger his charges were in, made preparatiOns to repel the attaok. The pirates, however, carne in such overwhelm- ing numbers that before any demonstration could be made on board the sinking vessel the pirates were climbing up the ship's sides. They were led by a man armed with a cut- lass and a large revolver. His shipmates were also heavily armed. Capt. Reed peered revolvers and guns among the passengers • and crew, and after a furious fusillade the coolies were beaten off. They rallied, how- ever, and made a second and Hong DESPERATE ATTEMPT to board the San Pablo, whioh was fast 'set- tling in the s water. Some of the pirates gained the main deck, in spite of the gallant stand of the passengers and crew, and were swarming towards the promenade deck, where the defenders were busy firing and reloading, when Capt Reed brought the ship's hose into requisition. The long coils of hose were manned by the crew, and in- istantly the pirates were again put to flight, the torrents of boiliug water from the pipes 'weeping many of them off the decks into the sea. The coolies then beat &retreat, and, draw- ing their vessels up in line, cruised half a mile off the oinking vessel, with the evideat intention of waiting for the abandonment of the vessel. During the fight Capt. Reed imprisoned all the Chine* among his crew with the Chinese passengers in the forehold, for fear they would aid their countrymen in the attempt to loot the vessel. As soon as possible the passengers, mails, and specie were pub into the Ssn Pablo's small boats, and then all bore away for the mainland. When only a short distance from the wreck Capt. Reed and his charges saw the pirates aet sail and rush upon the San Pablo, as they had den@ a few hours before. They CLAMBERED OYER THE SHIP S SIDgs with grappling hooks, and were soars mas- ters ofsonseof the finest boats that ever sail- - ed the Piccific, Whether by accident or de- sign, theysoon set fire to the ship, and when last seen smoke was pouring from the wreck in great clouds. The passengers were taken to Hong Kong, and tugs were sent to the re- lief of the San Pablo, but they found only draws up at the platform ia 3 hours 4 min utes. From Doncaster to Leeds is only 29& miles; but the gradients are heavy for a large part of the distance, the line is a network of junctions and crossings and sidings, and there are stops both at Wake- field and at Holbeck, se that to reach Leeds in 3 hours 65 minutes is really a far filler performanmethantortm along the flat valley of the Ouse to York, 21. miles further, ha the same time. But to Leeds and to Scot- land the Great Northern has its rivals well in hand. It is undeniably the shortest and quickest route, and it has no great mot- ive for further acceleration. To Manchest- er, hewever, it is another matter. From Etna ton to Manchester is only 189 miles, (by the road IMMO of the trams take through the Potteries it is 6 miles shorter still :) from St. Pancras it is only 191i ; While from King's Cross it is no leas than 203. Moreover, if the Midland routeis somewhat harder, the Northwestern is uadoubtedly a great deal easier. For the Great Northern therefore to hold ib.0 wa against the lying four -and a quarter heur expresses of its two rivals meant sially that it must run three mil* an hour faster than what are almost, if not quite, the fastest series of trains in the world. And it does ib; but only once, it mutt be confessed, each way in the 24 hours. To say that it reaches Mauchester in the *me time that the " Dutchman" and the "Zulu" take to Exeter, nine miles nearer, is 'Only to give a faint idea of the speed. For while the Great Western runs along an almostdead flat, the road from:Shef- field to Manchester is 20 miles up one side of the roof of a house''immediately followed by a second 20 miles dawn the other, and on this part of the road very high speed is, of course, impossible. Acoordingly, while the "Flying Scetishman" takes 2 houre and 10 minutes over the 104 miles between Grantham and London, and the fastest of the Leeds trains only 2 miantes leee, the 2 P. M. et Maneheeter does the distance in 3 minutes under the 2 hours, or at the rate of a fraction over 54 miles an hour. The "Dutchman," which long held the palm as the fastest train in the world, only averages 53 1 5 even as fax as Swindon. The Pay -Bolls of Congress. There IS one bill which, when it is intro - ducted into the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives, is always sure of prompt passage, it is the one which provides for the expenses of Congress. The tariff debate may delay consideration of nearly every other measure, but when musts/moue oopaent is asked for the consideration of the bill which appropriates the money for the pay of the Senators and he members of the House and the officers and employes of both, not even the greet ob- jector, Mr. Holtnan, of Indiana, will whis- per a word against its being brought at once the hulk, burned to the wateee edge, and a vote. stripped' df everything valuable. There are just 401 members of the House and of the Senate, and to 'wait upon them and run errands and hold open the doors as they pass in and out, and carry the cards of their callers and take care of the thousands of bills they put in, they have employed about 400 people, who are paid the snug lit- tle sum -of s $681,000 for doing -sae 'Feet ifireseunated that.,at least a score of piratetiMat their lives in this stubborn fight with CaPt.

The "leap reeks tore gaping holes in the plates of the port bow and water was pouring in them so fast that it was only a question of a few hours when the ship would either cap- size or slide off THE TREACHEROUS REEF and go to the bottom. As she rolled from side .to side under the influence of the sea, the water began to have its effect. First, it shifted her cargo, and she laid so far down on her starboard side that we thought sure she was going clear over. It was in this emergency that the order to lower the boats wee given, and the men were climbing hitt) their stations, when we sighted the squad- ron of Chinese junks coming to ward us from the land. A single glandeaat the leaders of the tsp. 'vomiting fleet told us that they were pi- rates, and the order to lower away the boats was countermanded and one to pre- pare to fight off boarders given. The sea- men hurried down to the ship's arsenal, where they were armed with guns and cut- lasses, and then they were divided into squads and stationed at the points on deck where the pirates would be most apt to come aboard. While the arming of the crew was in progress the approach of the piratical Root was serif t and sure. Their arching decks were fairly swarming with yellow warrior's; who were brandishing gleaming knives and swords and guns and shouting at the tops of their voices. As they came nearer the din was increased by a desultory firing of small arms, which was evidently intended to drive US below, but though bullets whizzed and screamed about . the ears of my crew not a man retreated. "Then the pirates came down on us in a rush. Almost before we could realize it we were surrounded, their grappling hooks were aboard, and scores of THE YELLING FIENDS were clambering up the sides and endeavor- ing to get over the rails on deck. The crew and the passengers ;sprang at them, firing very rapidly, "Tho pirates went back over the ship's sides fastpOntu they counted, but there were 80 °1Y A them that they soon rallied and gainOer 8deek in force.

It costs a little less than $150,000 per ses- sion to pay the mileage of the members, and the country pays $50,000 to purchase the stationery for members and officers of the House alone in any one sessioa. The treas- ury pays $52,000 for reperting the debates, whether Congress sits for one month or for twelve, as the official reporters, like moat of the clerks, are paid by the year, though they seldom do more than twelve months workain the twenty-four months that make up a Congressional term. Right here is where the geAtical workers come in ; over $150,000 is appropriated for clerks to com- mittees, who have about the snuggest place isa Washington. One day's time each week would in all fairness suffice for the perfor- mance of their duties, and that only when Congress is in session. When the adjourn- ment takes place the good clerk goes home, and the first of every month the sergeantat- arms forwards a cheque for the salary due him, jest the same as if. ^ were eggaged in the Government service every working -day in the year. It requires 084,000 to keep up the animal pay -roll of the officers, clerks and messengers who stand about under the dome of the Capitol to do the bidding of our 401 working Congressmen. A.

Emperor William's Principles. It is a eastern of members of the Hohen zollern family to draw up, when preparin for the rite of confirmation, a personal pro fession of faith, and it is also held to be a point of honor that the profession shall be strictly original, and prepared without as- sistance of any kind. When Prince William, afterward German Emperor, fulfilled this requirernent, he add. ed to the paper a composition of wider ecope, which he entitled, his " Life Principles." A few extract's from them may serve to show the inner workings of a Christian and gen t 'eman. With a thankful heart, I aoknowlege God's great beneficence in permitting that I should be born in an exalted station, be- cause thereby I am better enabled to educate my soul and heart, and was put in possession of copious means wherewith to build up worthiness in myself. My princely rank shall always serve to remind me of the great- er obligations it imposes upon nee, of the greater efforts it requires me to make, and of the greater temptations to which it ex- poses me. "1 will never forget that a prince is a nsan -before God only a man -having his origin, as well as all the weakness and wants of hu- man nature, in common with the bumblest of the people; that the laws prescribed for general obeervanoe are also binding upon him ; and that he, like the refit, will be judged one day according to his deeds. "For all blessings that may fall to my share, 1 will look gratefully up to God; and in all misfortunes that may befall me, I will submit myself to God, in the firm conviction that Re will always do what is beat for me."
