boats started from the Hull to find it.
1 hey are nil round here now, for a
French attumer heard it Iasi night, —
'most neared 'em out of their senses -
nnd now you have run afoul of it.
We'll come lip with it as soon as the
fojf lifts, ti e heurd you stop in tho
fojr, nnd kinder guested what was the
nmtter."
This speech, distinctly heard by all
nil tlie deck below, produced a pro-
found impression. Tin relief from
tiie strain of fear end anxiety
found expression in a sort of
inarticulate murmur that broke
Into loud comments and laughter and
ended in a rousing cheer, in which
sailors, Bremen, ami passengers joined.
1 lien followed a scene of confusion, in
which everything save gratitude was
forgotten. Men swarmed up the steps
to the bridge and fairly dragged the
young umn to the deck to shako his
hand and cover him with thanks and
congratulations. Thu oflicers made
no attempt to stay the almost
frantic enthusiasm. The people
seemed to have but one instinct
— to make a hero cf tho man
who had so 'iistautly changed the
tragedy that had bocmej to impend
over all their lives into almost farcical
comedy. Men shook hands with en-
tire strangers. Women kissed one un-
other in tear* and laughter. One big
fellow—a Western man—poured a
handful of gold into the young man's
cap nnd then threw another handful
to the crew. Finding tho little beat
with one man on b ard still at the
ship s side, lie gave final vent to hi* en-
murcy, but 1 don't r,ccit thuC way not
just now."
"Not a letter, father, not u letter
from her since you went away. I

I’olly U, Hi,, other day, und when 1

tempted to give up the light; hut I

l»g all this time? |f» uichby more
than wo can—----"
At this moment the door leading
frmu tho deck opened, and, to their
stirprbe, Copt. Floyd entered the
room, and upon iiis arm leaned Mai,

A few moments later the bell spoke

on the sea were the four good boats
from the I loll racing frantically fora

And through it ull the steamer lay
safe and silent on the water.
('apt. Floyd put Ids hand on the 1 ell
to call his engineer to go ahead, and
hesitated.
"Johnson, I owe you an apology,

"Where is he now?”

During all the rejoicings one lav be-

between life and death. The doctor
bent over her. anxious and alarmed.
"How did it happen?"
"I hardly know, doctor," said the
Judge. "We were on deck when that
man—that fisherman—arrived, when
she suddenly fainted, ami we brought
her to her room.”
Mrs. Gearing, poor lady, completely

beside the girl, bathing her face nnd

Half-way between the two set; of

1 his battery is a most important
one as, from its position, it com-
mand- the entrances to Ho-ton har-
bor. The guns liuve a range of six
miles, and no vessel, however
heavily armored, would dare to come
within this range. I lie mortars are
designed to threw shells upward so
as to full on the deck of a vessel
where she can be lightly armored
and aro arranged so that tho whole

centrated on one point, an 1 fired ut

It was originally proposed to hnvo
another battery of the san;o .-ize and
equipment close behind this one, but
it is probable that this plan will be
changed and tho battery bo placed
somewhere else—just whore is not
non- known. It is certain, however,
that there will bo n number of these
mortar batteries around Boston as
there aro 12S of tho mortars to bo

Corset Wearing Men-
. H is said that corset wearing is gain-
mg ground among the officers of the
British and German armies. Fashion- !
able young English swells have been
wearing corsets for tiie last quarter of
a century, but it is comparatively re-
cently that tho practice has shown a
disposition to extend itself to any con-
siderable degree. Women are wear-
ing corsets less, men more: but fortu-
nately the men who are taking to
; corset wearing belong to the class
with whom society could very well
I dispense, and so we shall not under-
tike to inaugurate a reform among
male corset wearers, but let the good
work go on until the shallow-pa ted
creatures who ape this feminine folly
are exterminated.—Good Health.
