In his speech at Cooper Union, Oct. •22, Mr. Ilewilt, then a candidate for mayor, now mayor-elect, gave a sketch of his life as an answer to some attacks made upon him as a 'rich man.' In the course of these remarks he said : 'I became nearly blind and was com pelled to pass a year in Europe, for which I paid out of the earnings which I had laid up from the lessons I had giyen. On my way home another ac cident occurred—the ship on which I was went to the bottom, and I was saved by another accident in one of the boots of that ship in company with a man who has been mayor of this city, who was and is my friend and brother, and will be to the end of my life. I landed in midwinter in a borrowed suit of sailor's clothes—not a thing of my own—and I had three silver dollars in my pocket, which constituted my en tire woildly wealth. I was 22 years of age.' Let the ciptain of ihe rescuing ship tell the story ; s he did a few years ago to a little circle of friends in a New York club : 'ln 1544 I was commanding the ship Atalanta, and in the month of Decem ber of that year was making a voyage from Liverpool to New York. On the 11th I was crossing the gulf at ream, j and got well over it. when, near even ing, 1 saw a ship under full sail sever al mi'es to the windward and evidently heading for New York like myself. My Barometer had been falling rapidly, and as I always regarded it with great care and obeyed its oiders, I took warning ai d shortened sail. But I noticed that the stranger kept every- i thing spread, and when night came on anu hid her fiom sight she was far off on the horizon, and didn't appear to have taken m a stitch of canvas. Dur ing the night it came on to blow heavi ly, a legular cyclone, in fact ; and you may be sure 1 was glad i had taken in sail. It only lasted a couple ot hours or so, but was very rough as long as it was on us. 'About 9 in the forenoon the watch reported pieces of wreck floating on the water, and an hour later we sight ed a beat, and bore down for her. It was as I had feared, the stranger had foundered in the gale, and this was one of tier boats. 'She proved to be, or have been, the American ship Alabamian,Capt. Hitch cock, from Leghorn to New York, and besides her officers and crew, she had two passengers in the cabin. She was under full sail when the wind stiuck her, and in a very short time she was an wiiseavvorthy wi< ck. She had two boats, one a staunch lifeboat, and the other an old ai d rotten longb >at. Lots wese drawn for places, and the lifeboat fell to Ihe first officer, while the long boat went t<> the captain. The two cabin passengers went to the longboat and also nine of the crew. It was the lifeboat that I picked up, with the first officer in command and he said they left the ship dt 2 in the morning, and lost sight of the longboat soon after She was nearer the ship than they, as the captain had been the last to leave her. 'The weather was cold, and they suf fered considerably from their cramped positions, but in a little while after coming on board they were warmed up and all right. Nothing C3iild be seen of the longboat-, and it was not certain whether she was still afloat. I determined to saye her if possible to do it, and the great question vvas to de termine what course to steer to find her. I reasoned that Capt. Hitchcock would try to get out of the gulf stieam MILLITEIM, PA THURSDAY, JANUARY 18., 1887. as soon as lie could, in order to llnd smoother water, and, after carefully studying the situation, 1 changed my course in accordance with this theory. I sent men aloft to keep a sharp look out, and report the least sight of a boat and to watch for anything that would indicate she had gone down and was past all help. 'Noon came, and then I o'clock, and then 2, and no signs of the boat. 1 went t.i the cab'n with my first officer and the officer of the Alabumian, and we held a council. One of them thought 1 ought to run on another course, and he gave his reasons for it, and then the other, who had been wa vering on the subject, joined him. 1 persisted in my belief, and stood alone in it. Somehow I could not see their reasons as they did, and 1 had a firm conviction that I was right, and if the captain of the Alubamian had done what I should do under similar circum stances, lie would be exactly in the track I was running. 'The afternoon went on,and about an hour before sunset I went into the crosstrees to have a look on my own account. I swept the horizjn with my glass over and over again, but saw nothing and felt that a terrible respon sibility rested on me, and what would be said of mo for holding my course against the advice of the others, if 1 should not find the boat. 'Just as the sun was within a hand spike's length of the horizon I saw a speck on the crest of a wave. It went down as the wave fell, and I believe my heart stopped beating till the speck came up again and showed itself. There it was, and no mistake, and it was exactly dead aheid as near as you could draw a line. 'I hailed the deck, and sent the fust officer to take the wheel. I told him uot to vary the breadth of a hair from the course we were running. Then I came down and sent a man up to take my place. ' 'Have you seen anything V very body aked, as I reached the deck. 4 'Nothing I'm certain ot,' I answer ed ; 'but we may have developments presently. I don't know if my beat was beating then, but presume it was. 'ln a little while—it may have been a quarter of an hour, and just as the sun was dipping into the liorizm—the man in the rigging called out, 'Sail > ho 1' ' 'Wnere away ?' I asked. ' 'Dead aheid, sir. 1 thick it's the boat.' 'My heart went up in my mouth, but ' I tried to appear as cool as an iceberg. Of course, everybody else was ail ex citement, and that was the more rea son why 1 should nut be. Besides, I : was captain, and nobody else was, as 1 had shown them by sticking to my course. 'The night came on clear and beau tiful, and we kept straight on. We lost sight of the boat as the daylight faded, but in half an hour or so we saw her again, and we still had her right in line. As we neared her I kept the j ship up a little, so as to b;iug the boat under our lee, and I put men in the fore chains and along the sides with I plenty of lines, and made all possible i preparations to make fast.. I knew the men in the boat would be so chill ed with the cold that they would be nearly helpl ss, and whatever was to j be done would have to be done by our selves. 'We got them out all light, and it was as I had surmised, they were most of them too much benumbed to climb up the sides, and had to be helped. When they were all safe on board we tried to hoist the boat in,and she broke in two with her own weight. llow she ever lived as long as she did is a mystery. 'Capt. Hitchcock told me they rowed as long as they could after leaving tl.e ship, with the intuition of getting into tiie smoother water beyond the gulf j s'ream, and he thought that in case I fell in with the other boat I would do ; just as I had done. The two cabin passengers took their share of the labor with the rest. They were both young j men, with a difference of primps five j or six years in their ages, and had been traveling in Europe, the elder of the | two being tutor for the younger, who , was the son of a prominent citizen of | New Yoik. They took passage at Leghorn for New York, and when : their turn came to enter the long boat they did so without complaint, and had borne the privations of the night and day as cheerfully ai any one else. 'All day they had watched and hoped | and hoped and watched, but there was no sign of a 3 lil The night threaten ed to be cold, ui 1 there was little ex j pectation that a;y >f the party would 1 live till morning v>i if the boat con tinutd to float. As the sun lie red the j lioiizon the yoimger man was lying in i his oyer < oat and a blanket, while the I elder sat in the stern with the captain. 'Just as the sun was dipping into the waves the elder of the twain said A PAP Kit FOR THE IIOMK CIRCLE to Capt. llitc!icoc<v that, with his per mission, he would offer prayer. Of course it was given at once. 'And 1 never, in all my life,' said Capt. 11 itcli cock, 'heard a more teauiiful prayer from lips of mortal man. And as he said 'amen,' and 1 said 'amen,' too, 1 raised my eyes and saw your sail.' 'Perhaps,' said Capt. Raymond to bis group of listeners—'perhaps you'd like to know the names of those two passengers ? They are familiar to you all, and you'll find them at the bottom of this letter, which 1 received, with a silver pitcher, a few days after we reached New York. I haven't seen it for some time, until it turned up to day while I was over hauling my desk. It is an old letter, you see, and was written before tho envelope was invent ed.' The letter was passed around and handled with great care. It was then read aloud by one of tho group, aud ran as follows : 'XE.V YORK, Dec. 28, 1544. 'DEAR SrU— Desirous of testifying our grateful sense of the noble disinter estedness with which you stood from your course on the 12th of December last in search of the captain, passen gers and crew of tho ship Alatamian, which foundered on that day at sea, and of the kindness we received at your hands while your guests, we beg your acceptance of tho accompanying piece of plate. 'We know that no offering of outs can itdd to the proud feeling of satis faction which must have animated youi bosom when upon your own deck, you saw the eighteen human beings 1 whose lives you had saved ; but we J wish you to posses some slight token which in after days may serve to re mind your children and your friends of how nobly you did your duty to your God and fellow men ; and we desire that other ship masters, incited as well by their own humane impulses as by tho approbation which so noble an act never faiis to call down from the pub lic, may 'go and do likewise.' 'ln conclusion, we congratulate you upon the opportunity you have enj >yed of gratifying most generous prompting of the soul," wo pray that Heaven may shower its choicest bless upon you and yours, and wo beg you to be assured of the lasting gratitude of, very truly, your friends, EDWARD COOPER, A nil AM S. HEWITT,- 'Passengets. 'To Capt. George B. Raymond, of the ship Atalanta of New York.' 'A day or two after receiving and answering this letter.' said Capt. 11 ly raond, l I received an invitation to g> to Mr. I'eter Cooper's house, as the ! family was very desirous of meeting me. I was so busy with the affairs of my ship that I could not respond at j otice, but sent word that I would call on New Year's day. When 1 called, and my name was announced they <1 iJ j did not wait for me to go into the par lor, hut all came out into the hall to t greet me ; the ladies pressed around me, and I assure you it was rather em barrassing for a young sea dog to re ceive so much attention. I had done nothing more than my duty, and some how felt that I was being thanked and praised a good deal beyond what I mer ited. I tried to tell them so, but they wouldn't listen to me, and all the time I was there they made such a hero of i me that I didn't know what to say, and wondered how I would he able to es cape. None of the Cooper or Hewitt family have ever forgotten me, but on the contrary, they miss no opp >rtunity of referring to that incident of the 12th of December. When the jjitos club gave a dinner to Mayor Cooper I want ed to come as much as I ever wanted to do anything in all tny life, and I thought I would do so ; but I don't like to be called up for a speech, and I knew that Ilewitt or Cooper would be sure to have me out and make me say something ; so I staid away, and saved the club from listening to the story of the loss of the Alabamian.' 'lt you had told the story as you have told it now." said one of the lis leneis, 'you would have made one of the most ( ffective speeches ever made at a dinner party.' 'So say we all.' Harpers Weekly. History of the Postal Card. A treatise on the history of the pos tal card has been published in Berlin. The originator of the idea is said to haye been a German state official, Dr. Stephan, who wrote an essay upon it in ISO j. Austria was the first to adopt it, beginning in 1800. The first three months witnessed the passage of 2,930,- 00') cards through the mails, Germany followed suit in 1870, and on the first day after the introduction of the postal card 45,408 were sent off in Berlin alone ; a d in two months over 2,000,- 000 were used. Other countries soon initiated the same step. During the Franco-Prussian war the postal card was a great boon to both armies. Over 1D,000,00 > cards pissed during the campaign between the German soldiers and their friends and homos. Tho greatest proportional consumption of the postal card occurs unquestionably in the United States. The whole of Europe is estimated to use annually 350,0'10,0U0, while tho consumption in tho United States alone will probably not fall short of 23 ',000,000. Germany consumed in 1879 122,717,000. The use of the postal c ud is, moreover,con stantly increasing, and,to some extent, at tho expense ot the letter correspond ence. There are now said to be seven ty-three countries in which it is intro duced. Austria, which has tho honor of first putting the idea into practical execution, is now said to have cards of tho poorest material and most iuc ra ven ient form. HAIGHT'S CONFESSION. Tho Story of tho Express Robbory aud Fothoringham's Innocence. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4.—\V. W. Ilaight, one of Witrock's accomplices in tho train robbery, lias furnished a written statement of his connection with the affair. lie says thsit poverty and his inability to obtain employment forced liim to devise some means whereby he might provide his wife and child with the necessities of life. To do this he planned tho robbery and approached Witrock with the shetne. Witrock be came enthusiastic over it and thereat- j ter took the aff lir into his hands and he (liaight) heard nothing more of him until he read an account of the robbery in the papers. Soon after that Wit rock sent him §l,ooo by Oscar Cook and summoned him to Leavenworth. There Witrock gave him s 10,000 more. lie says it was lie who forged Mr. Damsel's signature to the pass which was presented to Messenger Fother ingham and had the Adams Express letter heads and envelopes printed. Fotheringluim, he asserts, is absolutely innocent of every charge brought a- , gainst him. Tho convicted robbers will b2 sent to the penitentiary to-morrow. Witrock said to-day tlint ho stipulated with Pinker ton's detectives that they must lift the mortgage on his mother's house before he would restore any of the stolen money. This he said they hud promised to do and added that it was done when they went out to Leavenworth, and thus his chief object in robbing the express was accomplish ed. The mortgage was for $1,700. Examination Stories. Somo Funny OIIGS Told of Students Who Were Excited. As might be expected, the examina tions of medical students afford some good stories—true or otherwise. As might also be expected, some of them are wittily impudent. For instance, a "badgering" examiner asked a student what means lie would employ to induce copious perspiration in a patient, and got for an answer, 'l'd make him try to pass an examination before you. sir.' The most frequent cited anecdote of this kind is that of the brusque examin er—said by some to have been Dr. Ab ernethy—who, losing patience with a student who had answered badly, ex claimed : 'Perhaps, sir, you could tell me the names of the muscles 1 would put in action if I were to kick you ?' 'Undoubtedly, sir,' came the prompt reply; 'you would put into motion the llexors and extensors of my arm, for I should knock you down.' On the same line as this was the retort made to M. Lefcbure de Fourcy, a Freilch examin er, celebrated not only for bis learning, but also for bis severity and rudeness, lie was examining a youth,who,though well up 'ii his work, was hesitating in answering one of the questions put to him. Losing temper at this, the ex aminer shouted to an atterfdant, 'Bring a truss of hay for this young gentle man's breakfast.' 'Bring two,' cooly added the examinee, 'Monseur and I will breakfast together.' Of such alleged answers as this by students as that llio pancreas was so named after the Midland railway station, that the bone of the upper arm (humerus) was called the liumerows, and was so styled because it was known as the funny bone; or, that the ankle-bone (tarsus) was so called because St. Paul walked upon it to the city of that name —of such alleged answers as these it is char itable to suppose that they must be weak inventions of the enemy. An in spector, who had been explaining to a class that the land of the world was not continuous, said to the boy who hap pened to be standing nearest to him : 'Now, could your father walk around the world ?' 'No sir,' was promptly answered. 'Why not ?' 'Because he's dead,' was the altogether unlooked-for response. As little anticipated, prob ably, was the answer made to another inspector,who asked,' What is a hovel?' and was met with the reply, 'That which you live in.' Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. MODERN CIVILIZATION. Human Boingo Living on Oats and Sleeping on Straw. (HENRY APPLETON IN "MAYFLOWER.") NEW YORK, Dec. 14, —1t happened that not long ago my business led me through the classic precincts of Mul berry street, one of the arms of that peculiar civilization which is summed up in every great city. Years ago, I remember, when Tony Pastor first spread his wings as a popular warbler, he used to preface sonic of his dittiefe by the remark that he had only been induced to sing them attho urgent re quest of some of the first families of Mulberry street. While picking my way through the groups of ragged, motiveless, poverty besotted creatures, who for want of a better name are still called human be ings, my attention was arrested by a large sign ahead on which was writ ten, "Hay, Straw and Oats." This otherwise not unusual sign seemed strange on this street,where there ap peared no detached carts, or any indi cations that there were stalls in the neighborhood. The iaet is that in this vicinity civilization is at so low an ebb that any place where beast of burden will lie down is already mon opolized by men, women and children who are more profitable lodgers. Horses find quarters in more advanc ed localities, where human beings do not covet the places reserved for them. In the front of this store were a number of bales of clean straw, of a kind not usually used for bedding horses, and within its dingy walls were numerous barrels and boxes. My attention was soon attracted by a wretched man coming out of the door with a bundle of straw under bis arm, who was followed by another with a dirty bag in his hand, apparently fill ed with corn or grain. Pretty soon a man who appeared to be a helper in the store came to the door,and I made bold to ask him, as politely as I could, what these people did with the bun dles of straw and the bags of grain. "What do you suppose f" was the bluff reply. "Vera little fresh, boss." 1 assured the man that,as a strang er in New York, I hnd only asked out of curiosity, and hoped he would ex cuse me. I soon gained his confidence and went away with some points on latter-day civilization of a very sug gestive character to the student of "ethical culture." This clerk of the grain store in formed me that cellars and basements constituted the lodging places of a considerable portion of the inhabitants of Mulberry street The enterpris ing landlord provides a stove in the middle of the floor, upon which is a kettle of water. On the sides of the den bunks are built up to the ceiling. The lodger provides his own bedding, which consists of an armful of straw, purchased at the feed store for five cents, and which, may do service for an indefinite time. With the lodging is included the kitchen privileges. These consist of the use of the hot water, which is supplied by a faucet in the kettle, and the right to warm or cook whatever fodder the lodger may chance to have on top of the stove. The fodder is usually oatmeal or cornmcal, which he has purchased at the feed store, added to such swill as he may beg or steal through the day. The bill for lodging and culi nary privileges is something like 25 cents a week, and when it is consider ed that twenty or thirty, often of both sexes, are packed into these holes, the business of the hotel keeper becomes a quite lucrative one. And yet this great New York a bounds in schools and churches, char itable institutions and art galleries galore! Kingsloy and His Pets. It is pleasing to recall the distin guished Canon Kingsley's attachment tp dumb animals among the traits of his every day life. Like Mrs. Somer yille, he belieyed that some cf the creat ed beings inferior to man were destined to share the blessings of a future state of existence. llis dog and his horse were his friends. As a perfect horse man, possessing the patience and much of the skill of a Rare}*,he was a pattern to all who ride, reasoning with the ani mal he goyerned, and talking to it in gentle tones, mindful that the panic fear both of horses and children is in creased by harsh punishment.

Even in this brief narrative, one would not willingly omit to mention the Hector's cats, the delight they af forded, and the affection they yielded, nor the "natter jacks" (running toads) of the garden, the sandwaaps which frequented a cracked window frame, * the flycatcher that nested every year beneath the master's bedroom window, and the favorite slowworm of the churchyard. Kiugley's children were taught to hand'e gently even toads, frogs and beetles, these being, as he would tell them, "the works and won ders, like all things He has made, of a Hying God." That such lessons were effective, his little girl proved one day by reqesting "Daddy," before numer ous guests, "to look at this delightful worm," a very long one which wriggled in her liana. "Study nature," he says, "Do not study matter for its.own sake, hut as the countenance of God.

And added, as the waiter started to giye the order, "Make it tender." The waiter looked surprised, but said nothing. Then the victim got up and went through a physical movement of the arms, frightening an old lady with glasses, who sat at an opposite table. He was strengthening his muscles pre paratory to encountering a small steak. A small steak wili not be trifled with. When the small steak was brought the melee commenced as follows, according to the Marquis of rules : First Round —The stranger and the small steak came to the scratch and shook hands, the small steak looking confident and smiling. The stranger acted on the defence and sparred cau tiously. Some neat science was dis played by the small steak, who sent the stranger to grass. Time of first round, two minutes and seven seconds. Second ltouud—Both came up smil ing. The small steak planted a blow on the stranger's nose, and dedged a left-bander. The stranger became groggy, when the referee called time. Time of second round, three minutes. Ten rounds were fought, the small steak coming off yictorious. How to Advertise. A contemporary, in some "hints on advertising," says: "Another thing which publishers have to coutent with is, that the results of advertising are not always visible to patrons, many of whom can not understand why custom can not he directly traced to the souice where lliey expend their money to ob tain it. Business is like a riyer with many tributaries, and in which it is impossible to trace every individual drop of water to thespringfrom whence it came. But if a journal is selected for advertising purposes, that reaches time and again, the persons most likely to he interested in the solicitation, that paper is certainly a sure fountain head of profitable trade in the stream of pat* ronage far below. Temporary adver tisements in a small way will not pro duce an immediate or permanent in crease of business any more than alight shower will affect the depth of water in a well, but by persistency in the use of printer's ink in the right direction, the results sought will be gained in the end with interest." An Intelligent Dog. Andrew McCatherine,of Princeton, Maine, was the owner of a Newfound land dog who for superior intelligence surpasses any we ever knew. Mc. Catherine permitted a friend to take the dog with him to the lumber woods. Pine squirrels were very thick around camp and obtained much of their food out of the box from which the horses were ted. The dog observing this hit upon a novel plan for obt&ining fresh meat. He would take a gaouth ful of feed and bury himself in the hay with simply his nose sticking out, then he would open his mouth and wait. The squirrels in search of food would walk into the ingenious trap set for them, when the dog would shut his mouth and the game was captured In this way he supplied himself with fresh meat all winter.
