At n pleasant fmnllv reunion in Now
York tho hour and daughters of an old
comiuodoro of tho navy wero assembl
ed at tho liouau ot n well known citizen
to celobrato a domosllu nnnivorsary.
Tlio tablo had beou oleared, cinars
lighlod, and tlio vet ran, being urged
by tlio youtiH ladloit to Biln tnora a sea
yarn, related tho following story:
It occtirtd, ho Baid, booh after 1 en
tered the service, now moto than lorty
ycara ago. Wo wero just about to
leave Hain)lon Hoadtt on a cruise,
when.Uio oaptiiu a gig dafilicd along
nido, and with tho old dkiiiner camu a
slight, girliHh, fair haired boy, npiinr-
unlly a more child, but dressed In tho
uniform at that time worn by ilia mid
xhijimcn of our navy.
Tho littto fellow had boon gent to
cea to learn an honorablo profession,
because bis father, sinco his bankrupt
cy, could not educate bis son at homo
in a manner becoming his former
station. Ho stood uuoartatu for a
while on tho quarter deck, alono, neg
lected, abashed, until the captain, sud
denly recoleoting hitiKolf, tumod round
and introducing him to un cuded by
committing Ilirry Brougbton, ai I
Bhall call him, to my oversight, as tho
old'-Ht midshipman on board.
Wo wero soon on intimate terms,
and ho was so frank, generous and win
ning in his manners that you could not
for tlin lifo of you, odcapa loving tho
little fellow. Even the rugged old tars
would do anything to pleaso him, and
the seventy of tho first lieutenant him
self often relaxed itself when littlo
Harry, as wo all called him, had offen
ded against somo paltry rule of disci
pline. Always the first to turn out in
a gale, nover to bo found Bkulking liko
some of our other youngsters from his
t watch, and at all times eager to volun
teer on any extra duty, ho gradually
wouud ininscli into tlio hearts ol every
ono on board, from the landlubbers in
tho waist to tho oaptatn in his after
cabin. If wo went on shore Harry
was Burc to bo ono of our company, for
he was such a favorite with strangers
on account of hU youth and bcn'Hy
that wo wero always better welcomed
i no wns along.
Wo bad been out nearly three years,
crnUing on tho Pacifio station, when
we were ordered home, and nglit glad
wo nil wero to hear the ncwd. Tho
long, beautiful moonlights camo and
went like tuo sound ot musio, and a
hundred gallant fellows danced away
tho ovoniug watchos to tho lively notes
of tho violin.
Wo reached tho Philippine Islands,
passod tho strait' and at last entered
tho Biy of Bengal. Wo were all
hoartly tired of CI030 confinement on
ship'ioard, and resolved to run up the
bay and vmt a tow otlhooniot stations
011 tho coast. It was a glorious day
when wo first caught sight of Mtdrai,
with tho sunlight playing full on its
walls and minarets, the long, low
beach of whito sand crowned with the
walls of tho fort above, and a tremjnd-
oua sun rolling nud thundering in
ahead. Every beart beat high with
pleasure, and it was not a difficult tn li
ter to obtain pormiston to land. A
party of ofliccra, among whom were
Harry and mysolf, resolved to mako
an excursion into the town.
I should have mentioned that thero
is no port for vessels within twenty
miles of St. Georgo's fort, and as our
frigate would bo compelled to stretch
out and in until our return wo had but
little tituo for our adventure. Wo bad
intended when wo started to leave the
boats outside tho surf aid to land in
lilts which woro used for passing tho
broakors, and which, being sowod to
gether and without keels, aro admir
ably iiitted to resist the jerking of tho
suf and cannot without great difliculty
bo overturned. But when wo noared
the shore wo saw that nono of these
alive boats wero at hand, and as wo
bad but littlo time to loose wit lay upon
our 03rs just out tho breakers and call
ed a oounoil to determine what to do.
"What say you, Frauk, to making a
dash, a rid passing it at onoet It will
t. ...... i.:.. . .it. t
1 shook my head in disapprobation
as 1 pointed to the huge billows that
raced by us, and ourling over a cable's
length ahead broko with noisa like
thunder on the boaoh, whilo tho shiver-
wave boiled and foamed in tho vor
tex below.
"Givo way, my Bea dogi, givo wayl"
Bhouted thu third lieutenant, coming
up i breast in gallont style; "shall wo
ilasli in, Mr. TilltrT '
"It looks liko a vonturo whoio ono
cast is deaih, and tho other U ducking,
but what say you, Brougbton'"
"Oh, Bir," replied tho littlo follow.
his eyes kindling as ho Bpoko, "tlmy
say an English man of-war's boat pass
ed it a few yoais ago, and I'm suro hc
can do il, too. Besides Bir, wo oan
try it with 'ono boat first. It isn't suclv
a high surf, aftor all, and look there,
sir. they're watching us from tho fort."
lrno enough, the omcers of tho
garrison wero quizzing us already with
their glssees.
I still, however, objected, ft olincr a
Btrnngo kind of presentiment Ihat somo
dreadful accident would occur if wo
vnturcd in tho surf. But tho national
prido of our men had boon touched,
nud, the lieutenant, seeing it, wavered
no longer, and shouting tho order to
"Give way," our crew broko into a
cheer and dashed rapidly up to the
gigantio breakers.
Tho aspect of tho surf as wo annrn-
aohed it was terrible. Enormous bill-
owb rollod in, ono after another roo
liko mounters, paused a momont with
tbeir white crests combing before they
descended and thon hurled their mass
of water down into tho abyss below
with tho noiso of a mighty oataract.
Hitherto all had been careless on
boft'd, and josts had been flying plonti.
mny auoni, nut, overy man now felt
that a crisis was at hand, and accord
ingly th deepest silenco prevailed,
broken only by tho noiso of the oars
and quick orders of the lieutenant.
"Larboard!" Bhoutod Tiller, wavintr
hls hand, "larboard a little more!" and
riding on an enormous wayo we wero
winricd into tho Heart of tho surf, with
two gigantic billows madlv nur.
suing us on our quarter. For a mom
ent wo thought tlio crisis passod, but
all at onco tho wavo too mod to lose its
Impetus, and gliding from binoath us
broached us almost broadside to, whilo
tho foremost of our pursuois dashed
against us and hofrled us nearly over
into tho abyss. Wo wero losing all
command of tho boat, when suddenly a
volco from our oolloaguo outsido of tho
surf exclaimed!
"Look out, thoro's a Bhark on your
quarter!" At tho samo Instant Tillor,
p receiving ou) dangor, thunderod,
"Larboard, hard easo oft there, lar
board hardor, for God's sake, downl"
but tho poor coxswain, Btartlod by the
ill timed warning from tho other boat
and conscious of tho torriblo situation
in which wo wero, lost for a momont
nil command of his faoulties, and bo
foro ho could regain thorn, suflloiontly
to oboy tho command of his olTiccr a
wavo struck us full on our broadside
and in another instant, with a wild
cry of horror, wo found ourselves strug
gling in tho stitf.
Wnon I roao to tho surfaoo I struok
out boldly, but I shall nover forgot tho
sight that met my eyes. Tho boat was
already broken in pieces and tho frag
ments lowing about, whilo tho crow
woro strggling hero and there in the
breakors. A poor fellow wa just a
hoad of mo, buffeting with tho waves,
his agonized look fixed on n lingo,
shark that lay oyoing him just without
tho surf, IL screamed for succor, but
it was in vain. Tho current was grad
ually sweeping him nearer to his terri
ble enemy. Tho othor boat vontured
as near as it could, but it woul I havo
been madness to approach nearer.
Suddenly ho gave a quick, Bhrill shriek
Hung his arm) upward and sank. The
next iuslant the blood red hue of tho
surfaco told tho fearful cause.
As for mysolf, I Btruck desperately
for tho shore, and being a good s dim
mer as long as I could command my
faoulties I know I had somo chanco of
reaching land. I had turned in order
to cscapu tho current and find a place
whero tho surf rolled in less frightfully,
when I heaul a faint ory, and saw lit
tlo Harry struggling not two fathoms
off. He seemed almost exhausted, aud
was barely ablo to keep his head above
water.
"For tho lovo of heaven," ho cried,
"Frank here!" But as I swatnj to
wards him tho noblo boy exclaimed:
"No! Savo yourself I'm nearly gone
am getting woak tell mother and
Fanny I died thinking of them.
"Courage! ' I shouted: "I'll ba thero
in a minute hold on, my bravo lad!"
and I strainod every nervo to roach
him, but tho current was powerful that
it balllo.l my efforts. Ono whilo tho
surf would sweep ns far apart, aud
again dash us almost to gethcr.
saw, however, that I gradually ncarcd
the gallant littlo leliow.
Tho crew of tho boat outsido bent to
their oars, determined at all risks to
securo us, when suddonly thoro was
cry,, "Tho Bhark! tho shark!" And
tho huge monster shot along not
twenty yarn nu between us and our
only hope, tho bint. My brain reeled
as I looked. Tho boat was rapidly
approcbing, but tho surf was too wild
to siiltdr it to come near whero wo
wero, and between us tho frightful
minster was sailing to and fro, wait
in for t'io tide to sweep us out.
"I'm going, Frauk; 1 can't stand it
any longer. Oh, my poor mother and
sister God forgivo ma my sins." faint
ly said tho boy.
"Hold on a minuto, for heaven's
sakef I cried, for I was already with
m a yard or two of him.
"Hold on!" thundered tho lioutonant
from tho boat; "we'll ba there if we die
for it givo way, lads, for life, hurrah!"
uut poor little Harry had held on
until naturo was comploioly worn out
aud casting a wild look on all around
ho faintly ejaculated, "My mothor,
sister oh, my ttodl ' and then, with a
convulsivo jerk of his arm?, sank liko
lead into tlio waters. The noxt mom
ent I would havo been by his side.
"Givo way! Givo way! Givo way!"
roared the lieutenant, wildly, as he
waved on his men.
"For God's sake, come on quiok!" I
shoutod as I dived.
But alas! my search was unsuccessful.
and when l roso to tho surtaco I was
far away from tho spot where Harry
had disappeared and noaring with
frightful rapidity tho shark on tho
edge of the surf. Tho boat was yet
too distant to promise auy effectivo
aid. I shall nover forgot tho emotions
of that instant. A sickening eoneation
camo over me; my brain reeled, my
joints grow woak and my arms seemed
to refuse their duty. Tho monster
was now nearly at my side. I could
sou his great Pus appearing aud disap
pearing, and almost feel tho lashing of
his hugo tail as it beat against tho
wators. 1 gavo up all ray hopo of this
world and all I loved, and shut my
eyes upon my tornhlo enomv as I brea
thed 0 silont prayer for meroy to God
A moment Hint seemed years ensued
a moment of torturo moro horrible
tlmn any I ever had conceived when
a loud, sharp ory rang out just behind
me, and at the samo instant a coil of
ropo fell bisidu mo ns a voice called
out in broken Ennlish, "Hold ou!"
Clutching thu cord mechanically, I
leit mysiii drawn rapidly 111 among
tho breakers, whilo tho enormous mon
ster, proooiving bo was going to be
disappointed of his prey, struck tho
waves wildly with his tail, and dashed
like lightning alter me.
'In U'lth him liflnil fwnr lionrlt'
shouted a voico, and I felt myself jir
ked into ono 01 tho boats common on
tho coast. At tho same instant a thun
dering ohoer rung from tho crew out
sido tho surf. Forgetful of ovcrytliiug
but my wondoiul preservation 1 lell on
my knees and thanked Uod I was
nlivo.
When I looked again, I Baw wo wtro
riding in upon thu surf and tho shaik
had sheered out to sea. Wo wero
soon landed, and I then learned tho
manner of my deliverienoe. Having
been soon, a boat had been put olt to
our rescue, and had already taken tip
several 01 our crow, wnon thoy dis
covered mo struggling against tho cur
rent. Had I not been ongaged In on

Somo years atro tho locality of con
ducting tho business of a barber on
Sunday was decidod in tho negative
by Judgo Klwoll. It was one of tho
first oases of the kind brought botoro
tho courts of this Stato. A similar
caso Is ponding in Philadelphia and wo
print below a full report of it, becamo
of its general interest.
John II. low aud lid ward A.
Anderson brought tbo quostion licforo
tho Court by nn nppoal from tho sum
mary conviction of William it. Wald
man Magistrate Baird fonnd Mr.
Waldmnn imittv of violating tho Act
of 1791 by(working on Sunday. Tho
argument of Messrs. Fow and Ander
son was two-fold. Tlio first tioint was
that Mr. Waldman could not ba de
prived of bis liborty in a cilminal pro
ceeding witho it a trial by a jury. Tho
second point was that a barbel's work
was a work ot uocessity, and as such
would bo exempt from tho penalties of
tho ancient law.
Stresj was laid by Messrs Fow and
Anderson in their artrumont on tlio
first point that "tho thoughts which
inuuenced tho niomuors of tho Legis
lature and tho Constitutional Conven
tion, that no man should ba deprived
of his liborty and Buffer the ignomy of
an imprisonment at tho will of a judge,
but only on a solemn conviction ol a
jury of his oountryraoti. They woll
new that in the Court of Com
mon Ploas tho judge is omnipotent,
that tho verdiot of tho jury, bo it for
piainiut or doiondont, Commonwealth
or prisoner, is at tho marcv of tho
judge; ho give3 tho law to tho jury,
and thoy Bimply pass upon tho facts.
it tnoir vordict is not in accordance
with law as ho nnderstands it, or if the
facts adductod do not warrant their ver
dict or do justice between tho parties,
no may sot mo verdict aside, and bo on
until a verdiot is found that in his
opinion docs justice But in Court tho
Quarter Sossions, whore a man's liber
ty, instead of his property, is involved,
there tho jury is omnipotent, and tho
power tho judgo has is merely to dt-
tect, and not control, oxcept in ewes
vh 10 injustice has boon dono tho
prisoner"
Judgo Ponnypaokor decided this
point against Mr. Waldman, on the
ground that if tho Legislature had in
tended to tako away tho right of sum
mary conviction, it, would havo so ex
pressed itself in some law draftod to
meat tho caso. As tho Legislature had
tiooe nothing of tho kind, tho Court
could only read law as ho found it.
Advancing to tho discussion of the
sesond point Mr. Waldman's counsel
arguod that tho decision of tho quos
tion whether barber's work was a
work of necessity, was a question of
fact which a jury should determine,
but undor tho circumstances thoy
would hayo to submit this "important
q lOBticn of fact to his Honor's solu
tion.
Witnesses wero then called to tho
stand, all of whom testified that thov
shaved or wero shaved on Sunday and
considered it a necessity to havo a
clean face, and that it had been for years
a custom to keep barber shops open on
ouuaay.
Mr. Andorson adlrosaod tho Court.
with particular emphasis upon tho
argument that tho riso and progress of
a custom in tho community establishes
tho idoa of its necessity. The argu
ment then followed closely tho lines
set by tho paper book prepared by
alossrs. Anderson and Fow. from
whioh thu following aro extraots:
"My cook prepares mv food on Sun
day, the maid cloans up tho home, wo
wash our hands and face: why should
not my barber shaio met Tho sun
goes round seven days as well as six;
a man s appetite is lust as stronir on
Sunday as any othor day; his hands
and laco grow dirty, his clothing
dusty and untidy and his board con
tinues to grow.
"A largo class of tho community aro
so ongaged as not to havo tho time to
got shaved on baturday, and to others
a Bhavo on Saturday will not render
them clean on Sunday; and as cleanli
ness is noxt to godliness, it is not only
a necessity to all, but a duty to those
who aro trod-lcanng.
"Distanoes nre annihilated by tho
wonderful inventions of man, modern
progress has caused tho wants of man
to increase, aud that whioh was not a
necessity in 1794 may bo a necessity
to-day. In 1791 thero wero but sevon
barber-shops that also practiced cup
ping and leeching in rhiladelplua.
Wo to-day aro better ablo to mdtro of
our wanls, from a point of necessity,
than our foro-fathors; and tho sonti
mont of this community is that shav-
: o j . . i.
ug mi ouuuay is n wortt 01 necessity.
At the conclusion of tho argument
Judge Pennypackcr announced that
"as tho position taken in tho caso af
fected the intorests of a largo and im
portant portion of tho community," ho
would tako tho matter into careful
consideration.
Almost overy man at somctimo in
his life is Btnitton with a nowspapcr
mania, I fancy, BaysTalmago. Ho has
Bomo idoa, moral or politioal or relig
ious, and lie induces somo friend to nil
vanco tho cash to start a papor, and ho
gots ont a prospectus which throatons
to do groal things. Aftor a wcok or
two somo plain, raaltor-of-fact stock
holder finds out that thoro has been no
special revolution in tho univorso nnd
that the stiu and moon do not stand
still, and that men aro just ns big liars
as thoy wero before, and that baodl'irs
aro just as thick. Pretty soon a big
bill for whito papor comes in and ab
sorbs all tho sparo cash in tlio business
ofl!c3 and the printers refuso to work
unless tho "strings" aro cashed up; the
printer bows to tho managing editor
and tho managing editor bows to the
editor-ln-chiof and ho bows to tlio
stockholder. Tho stockholder bows
to tho ceneral pnblic, and tho sub
soriber in tho rural districts wonders
why his papor does not come any
more. My adviao to a mau who hai any
thing to B3y in a nowspaper is to say
it through somo papor that is alroa ly
an established institution.
An idea is provalont that a man who
oan do nothing olso can edit n news
paper. A man who cannot row a dug
ont aoross tho Mississippi rivor has no
bltsiness trying to onginoer tho Groat
Eastorn from Now York to Liverpool.
It requires, to edit n newspaper suc
cessfully, the brains of a philosopher,
tho skill, tho vigilance and tho bold
ness of a groat general; a man ought
to bo a statesman, an essayist, a geo
grapher, a statistician and an encyclo
pedia; and it moro men had found this
out earlier in their career thero would
havo been many fower cases of bank
ruptcy within tho last fifty years. My
advioo to tho young man who fools
called on to start a nowspaper is that
ho consider that tho first sign of soft
ening of tho brain, that ho plaoo all his
monoy in his wife's hands and mako a
rush for somo lunatio asylum and sur
render himself baforo he doos any
thing desparate.
I believo a groat improvement w'll
be mado in tin nowspapors when they
drop tho impersonal style. Tho belt
pens and tho best minds aro ongaged
to-day in writinn for nawspapors and
thoir writings ofton appoar in tho edi
torial columns, yet most of them dio
unknown, and livo, many of them, on
iuccmpotont salaries. After a whilo
thoir hand forgets its cunning and
without resources they die. Tha world
novor know them. If this impersonal
ity woro dropped in tho moro impor
tant of newspaper writings, it would
be a creator iustioo to those who en
gage in nowspaper work. It used to
add woigjit to an article in tho Now
York Tnbuno to see tho initals "H.
G." at tho end of it. Whun mon sign
tho'r names to what thoy write, liter
ary mou will corao to lirger apprecia
tion. No honorablo man would wrilo
anything that ho would ba ashamed to
put his name to, and writers can bo
held responsible for what thoy writ 1.
Tho imporsonal oditorial "wo" will not
stand between a man who has b;en
assailed and tbo writer who is respou
siblo for tho article.
I could preach a wholo sermon upon
tho everlasting blessings of a good
newspaper. A good newspaper is tho
greatest temporal blessing that Gxl
has given to tho people of this country.
In tho first place all tho peoplo rond
tho newspapers, and thon tho news
papers furnish tho greater portion of
tho reading of tho peoplo. They
don't read books. Tho old peoplo
look for tho deaths, tho young poop'o
look for tho marriages, and those who
aro unemployed road tho want adver
tisements. Great libraries mako a few
intelligent men and woraon, but tho
newspapers lift tho nation into sin
light. My idea of a good nowspaper
is a mirror of lifo itself, bomo peoplo
complain because the evil of tho world
is reported as woll as the good. Tho
ovil must bo reported as woll as tho
good, or how will wo know what to
guard ourselves against or what to re
form, Thoro is a chanco for discrimi
nation ns lo how muoh space shall bo
given to suoh things as prize fights,
but tho nowspaper that merely pro
Bonts the fair and beautiful and bright,
eunny sido of lifo is a misrepresenta
tion. That family is best qualified for
the duties of lifo who have told to
thorn not only what good thoro is in
tho world but the ovil, nnd is told to
solect tho good and reject the evil.
