Barney | Coleman and Ber jamin Gooch, secom- | panied by two Iudians, started up the | river one morning recently in a skiff for { the purpose of catehing drift wood. | After reaching a point belween twelve and fifteen miles up the river the boat, ! becoming unmanageable, was drawn {into an eddy and disappeared in an in. i stant. The skiff at the time was near a | steep cliff of rocks, whose walls were | two hundred feet in height, and the { Indians, observing that the eddy was about swallowing the boat and crew, jamped out and elung to the rocks and | Goreh endeavored to do the same thing after them. He secured a slight hold to the perpendicular sides of the oliff, clang to it only for a moment, then fell { into the water and was seen no more. { Coleman sprang from the stern of the skiff out into the river and got beyond | the eddy, where he watohed for the ap- pearance of the boat.

The skiff was in the midst of the rapids, standing on end ; | another breaker and over it went. his was an indescribable moment to Coleman, whose sole reliance ‘bad deserted him, as he felt a | prisoner in the hands of death, and | though he had scarcely known his dtrength before here was a desperate | opportunity for its test, and he says that hie felt that he was a mere straw at the { mercy of a wave one second and an eddy i the next, | Here was waged a fierce and pro- | tracted struggle for life between a powerful man and skillful swimmer, | weighing 225 pounds, and first a whirl- | pool and then a rapid, whose force snd | zo and danger cun never be realizad | except by the man whose life was { trembling in the balance, but courage |and humsn strength at last prevailed, {and the brave man swam on over rapids and through whirl- pools for the distance ot three of as perilous miles as was prob- {ably ever won by man.

Superstitions of the Hand, The hand has been honored with a very extended folk lore, and the follow- ing extract from an old writer shows thet nesrly every peculiarity of the hand has been emblematic of some personal trait of charscter. Thus, we are told: A great thick hand signifies one not only strong, but stout; a | ttle slender ! hand, one not only weak, but timorous; a long hand and long fingers betoken a man not only apt for mechanical artifice but liberally ingenious, Those short, on the contrary, denote a fool and fit for nothing; a hard, brawny hand sig- nifies one dull and rude; a soft hand, . | one witty, but effeminate; a bairy hand, one luxurious, Long joints sig- nify generosity ; yet, if they be thick withal, one not go ingenions. The often clapping and folding of the hands note covetous- t | ness, and their much moving in speech, loguacity. Short and fat fingers murk a man ont ss intemperate and silly ; but long and lean as witty. If his fingers ercok upward, that shows him liberal ; if downward niggar ly. Long nails and crooked signify one to be brutish, ravenons and munchaste; very short nails, pale and sharp, show him subtle and beguiling.” Among other omens, we are told that the itching of the right hand signifies that it will shortly 4 | money will before very many days have to be paid away. being regarded as ominous. the nails, Oifthe numerous rhymes on seen that every day has its peculiar virtue: “Ont them on Monday, you oat them for health ; Cat them on Wednesday, you cut them for news ; : Cut them on Thuraday, a pair of new shoes ; Cut them on Saturday, see your true love to- morrow ; Cat them on Sunday, the devil will be with you all the week,” This old rhyming saw differs in various localities, althou:h in the main points it is the same; as by gineral regarded as most insuepicions days for entting both the nails and hair.
