Cevrar Harn, Pa. Auvausr 26th, 1870,
Romance of the Sea,
A remarkable story reaches us from
Liverpool. Six sailors, bearing the
names respectively of John Coleman,
D. McCall, Middy Baptiste, Joachim
King Oilombo, Charles Lance and
Francis. Edward Gray, have just pass.
ed through a succession of ee
on a dessert island, which more than
realized the most thrilling of the many
romantié stories of shipwreck written
for our youth. The fine new iron elip-
per ship Mercurius left Sar Francisco
early in January last on her retarn to
England, having previously made her
first voyage from the Clyde to Sidney.
She was commanded by Captain Cuth-
bertson, an experienced navigator, and
all went well with her until the 25th
of March. In the early morning of
that day, it being then dark and rain-
ing heavily, the good ship struck up-
on a dangerous coral island known as
the Roeas Reef, in lat. 3.52 8,, long.
33.20 W. No one on board had tho't
of danger until five minutes before the
Mercurius struck. The lookout man
then gave the alarm, “Breakers
ahead!” The Sapiain was called, the
course was altered, and her helm was
put “hard over.” But it was too late,
A few seconds of that intense anxiety
in the endurance of which men seem to
live years, and then all doubts were
solved by the Mercurius first grazing
her side below the water against the
sharp edges of the coral, and then stri.
king violently on it twice. She began
to fill instantly, and asshe was hang-
ing as it were over the. ledge of the
rock, word was passed to man the long
boat, in the hope of saving all hands.
Bat while this was being done the ship
lurched suddenly outwards, and went
down like a stone iu eight fathoms. of
water. Out of twenty two hands: on
beard the Mercurius, the morning
found but six alive, and these, after
swimming two hours, and until the tide
fell, gnined a footing on the ledge and
proceeded to explore it.
Looking to thesea, the tops of ‘the
fore and mainmast of the Mercurius
were just vizible out of the water; look-
ing over the islands which were to be
their home, some fifteen acres of bar-
ren rock, interspersed with patches of
sand and connected by a narrow isth-
mus with another rock equally barren,
of the same size, met their gaze. One
cocoanut tree formed the only sign , of
vegetation. It was the solé eurvivor
of these which were planted there some
years ago by order of Her Majesty's
Consul at Pernambuco, in order that
the reef might be seen more easily by
vessels on the Brazil and Cape fons
route, in the direct track of which it
lies ; but there had been wrecks here
revicusly, and with the aid of articles
ft behind by the survivors, the ship-
wrecked meu contrived to bend circum-
stances to their will. They found two
iron tanks deposited in convenient
Sled with water, as well
as a considerable quantity of broken
timber, out of which they built them-
selves a log hut. They found, too, that
pearl of price, a broken kaife, a ham-
mer, & two ounce weight and a large
copper bolt, and with these clumsy
tools they made two boats out of the
planking strewed about the rocks, fuse
tening them with nails “which they
extracted from the broken: timber of
other wrecks. It not a
: any thought of
escaping in these boats, but they were
enabled to'make fishing excursions and’
to sail with signals flying in search of
assing ships early in the morning and
m the evening, when the sun's force:
‘méss was subdued. They had no clothes
and except in their hut, no shade, and
the tropical heat was terrible. The
majority of the men saved were in
their berths when the Mercurius struck,
and swam to the rock in their shirts;
and it was not until one of their num-
ber made a hat out of the fibre of the
solitary cocoa tree, sewing it: together
with a needle made out of a piece of
brass found on the island; that any
protection forithe ‘head was to be seen
among them. To add to their misery,
the reef swarmed with venomous ants,
which bit the strangers unmercifully,
and with an effort ‘which can be ‘only
realized by those who have suffered
from the insect life of the tropical
climes. The’ commissariat question
was settled in a way which will make
every school boy’s mouth water who
reads of'it. ‘They went out in their
boat, and canght fish and turtle, and
they had an abundance of bird’s eggs
and shell fish. They manufactured
bird traps and caught young birds,
cooking them by a fire which was nev-
er suffered to go out by night or day.
‘no other means of procuring a light
other than the time honored one we
have all read of in
|Huel belonging to the island, and the
‘broken debris of former wrecks sup-
plicd the only material for the allim-
portanf fire. Three tines during their
sojourn on the rock was this fire suf
fered hy some accident to go out; and
three times wis the experiment in
friction anxiously and successfully
tried, So the time wore on until fifty
one weary days had heen spent on the
reef, days in which everyman Scanned
the horizon, and in which’ thé strong
cheered the faint hearted, and all spoke
hope in turn, Tt is easy to picture the
existence ' these men led. The first
gratitude of escape ; the ahxious search
for fellow survivors; ‘the mournful
conclusion that the rest of their ship.
mates were no more ; the stern hecessi-
ty which bade them work, invent, con:
trive; the developement, day by day,
of some fresh ingenuity, some lithe
suspected quality in each, and the
gradual accumulation of reliefs, and
even comforts —ean nl be traced. They
were prudent men-—men taught by
calamity to prepare for a rainy day;
for, when rescued, they had two hyn.
dred eggs in store, and are described
as being in good condition. Their res-
cue was not effected antil the 15th of
May, when the commander of the iron
Ag bark” Silver Craig, Captain
Cohn, was approaching’ Pernambpco,
and discerned “a Wamp on the well
known Rocas Reef, which he made out
to be a hit. Drawidg nearer he dis-
cerned a signal of distress, composed
of a seaman’s striped shirt, fluttering
half mast high, and he then hove to
within six miles from the island, and
waited until six nearly naked men put
off in their rude boats and came on
board. They were kindly and hospi-
tally received, and had n pusssge given
them to Liverpool, where they are now
(el Mng their strange story, and exhib.
iting to their friends the cocoa fibre
hats, which were until recently their
own articles of attire, and which they
now keep as mementocs of the perils
they have escaped. In simple force,
in romances, in strangeness, in fertility
of resources, and in adventure the real
experience of these six sailors on a des:
olate island is worthy of Defoe, and
makes most fictitious histories of ship-
wreck seem tame and feeble by com.
parison. ={ London News, June 23d.}

Miscegenation,
Jackson, Miss, Ang, 4—An un
usual event occurred here last night}
in the marriage of Hon. Albert T.
Morgan, (white,) a republican Senator
in the Mississippi Legislature, to Miss
Carrie Highgate, (negress,) The cer:
emony was performed by a negro min-
ister. The couple left immediately
for Cleveland, Ohio, Mr, Morgan's
former home, via Louisyille.- The af
fair naturally creates a sensation in the
community. Morgan is a lawyer of
some ability ; is of temperate habits,
and was colovel of a Michigan veg:
ment of the Federal army. The bride
is of a decidedly dusky hue,
Put that in your pipe and smoke it,

here illustrated is the inevitable ten-

ply shutting their eyes to a painful
truth, This fellow is up with his par-

We can add nothing to its force:
It isnot the lenst eurious imstance

joys more rights in that region where
he is supposed to have most encifiies,

posed ' to - have most friends. The
proclaimed object of the bill referred
to is to protect the negro of the South
in all his constitutional rights,” and
secure to hini complete political coe-
quality with the whites-' Yet there
are hundreds of negroes in office in the
South; at: this time, and scarcely ‘one
in office at the North. Nearly half

Railroad Consolidation.
Scott, Gould, Vanderbilt, and Gar-
rett the master spirits of the four great
trunk lines on this Continent are,
greater than Stat es, and will soon be
if they are not already, masters of
Congress. The ' concentrated capital
of these roads, was exerted last winter
in the halls of our National Legisla-
ture, as will be' seen by the inmumera-
ble - subsidies’ granted; to railroads,
which were undoubtedly shared by
the members. Whatever legislation
was required was promptly given, in
which our dear friend Negley the
member for this District was among
the foremost. State legislation will
scarcely be required hereafter inthe
new order of things they will be for-
bidden to interfere with Congress and
the profits of its members; but ifany:
thing is required in any State to ad:
vanee the interests of these corpora: |
tions; they are able and willing to buy
it, and they are never disappointed,
To say this overshadowing influence
will not produce demorulizing results,
is to shut our eyes to plein’ facts.
These great lines consolidate for mu-
tual protection and aggrandizement,
with great facil and for obvious
reasons. Bome people still think, that
rival lines may be constructed here
and there to check this obsorbing prin
ciple and regulate prices, but the mo-
ment a rival “line is completed, its
wigde so much the stronger. The N.
Y. Herald makes the following allu-
sions to the subject:
There is danger shen, in the consol:
idation of these great railroad lines—
danger to the pockets: of the people,
to the progress and material interests
of the country, and in the end, possi
bly, to the institutions of the Republic
A great deal used tobe said ubout the
dangerons power of the old National
Bank in President Jackson's time, aud
we hear:too, of the danger of the pres-
combinations} but none of these were
or are fraught with so much evil ns

with which ‘we are threatened. Its

The unhappy man saw himself robbed
of every succor, In the stillness of
death and the durkness of the graye hie
felt not only his strength failing him,
but also ‘his mind wandering. An
unspeakable anguish took hold upon
him. He, who feared not to appear
before his judges, now trembled before
himself. Conscious of his danger he
endeavored to find something to relieve
himself from the double misery of idle-
ness and lonelivess, and thus preserve
himself from a terrible in=anity.
Four pins which accidently happen
ed to be'in his eoat, had fortunately
escaped the notice of his jailer. Those
were to bo the means of deliverance to
his spirit. He threw the pins upon
the earth, which alone was the floor of
his gloomy dungeon, and then em-
ploved himself in seeking for them in
the duckness: When, after a tiresome
search, he succeeded in finding them,
h: threw them down anew ; and so on
again and again, did he renew his vol-
untary task. All the day long, sitting,
lying, or kneeling, he groped abou

How to Employ a Doctor.
