In it he tells of an experience he had in mid-ocean, while commanding the steamer Baltic, in 1873. He was eating dinner, when a servant whispered in his ear that the vessel was on fire. ”Without loosing any time.the captain quietly arose and repaired to the deck, where smoke and flames were pouring in huge volumes from the forward ventilators. Several streams were soon playing on the ‘ burning cargo, but without having any perceptable effect. The captain relates what followed in these words: At the time she was running before a strong westerly gale and heavy sea. An idea suddenly flashed through my mind, and I at once determined to act upon it. I went up on the bridge, and, calling to all who were on deck, told them to get under cover as quickly as possible. I immediately or- dered the helm to be put to port, bring- ing the sea nearly abeam. A tremendous wave broke on board, filling the hatch- ways and flooding the the deck.

One evening at Windsor, in the draw- infiroom, the Hon. Amy Lambert danced a ighland fling with one of the young equerries, much to the delight of the Queen, and she said:â€"~“Why, Amy, you dance charmingly; ask what you will and you will have it.” The young lady in- stantly and wittily replied:-â€"“The head of Mr. Gladstone upon a. charger.” The Queen applauded the saying with her hand I and saidzâ€"“At least you may have the charger,” and sent and had fetched a ~3gold- waiter which was standing upon a sideboard in the dining-room, and then and there presented it to the fair dancer. been conducted by the friends of the young people.

Among the most widely travelled and the wealthiest of our people there is no doubt a tendency to uniform breakfasts, and of plain and nour- ishing quality. This is devoutly to he wished for, not only for the sake of the digestions of our people, but for the peace of our perplexed housewives, Whose ory‘ has been for generations, “What shall we have for breakfast?” The lack of appetite for this first meal of the day is a most serious obstacle to the A well-known Southern family of high social position has for its in variable break- fast, “all the year around,” again, “hot biscuit,” which every Southerner knows well, and fried sausages and coffeeâ€"hard- ly commended, but showing a desire for uniformity. One of the great European statesmen, who is also an epicure, eats for his regular breakfast a baked potato and a broiled chop with coffee. All dwellers in firstâ€"class hotels know that a large pro- , portion of the people who live in them i ‘ have a. stated breakfast, which their waiters know is never to be varied from. One of our most distinguished writers announced a few days ago that she ate for her first meal never anything buta saucer of oatmeal and a slice of toast and an egg, with a cup of coffee. This is a common and most satisfactory breakfast among literary workers, many of whom add only a bunch of grapes or an apple to it, or other seasonable fruit. ' The Modern Breakfast. “You never saw such funny breakfasts ‘as the P ’s have,” exclaimed a young lady who had just returned to her own home after a week’s visit at a wealthy friend’s. “Why, mother, you would think there wasn’t anything to eat on the 3 table. Every morning all the year around they have only fruit, oatmeal or cracked wheat, with cream and sugar, and soft- poached eggs on toast.” ‘ It was no wonder the young lady was astonished, for at her own home there was usually for breakfast some sort of in- digestible hot bread, and always meats and potatoes, besides eggs in some form and a variety of other things. In practicing the ladies wear an ordinary tennis shirt and flat-sole shoes, no corset, an easy-fitting blouse or jersev. A wire mask protects the face, a padded buckskin lastron is worn over the chest, and a )uckskin guantlet saves the hand from any chance scratches or thrusts. The [ladies are taught to fence with either 1 hand, and it is wonderful how quickly this exercise gives strength and dexterity (even ‘ in its literal sense) to the left arm, gener- ally so awkward and helpless. The success of the ladies, fencing class has proved beyond a doubt the gropriety of fencing as a ladies’ pastime. t is not too violent, for each can regulate her ac.- tivity to suit herself, and remain on the defensive or assume the ofi'ensiveasshe feels like it. Twenty minutes of active fencing will give more exercise to all the muscles of the body than two hours of pretty fast walking.

NEW YORK, May 13.â€"-While seven laborers and a foreman were tearing down a building at 151 Spring-st. this morning, a remnant of the wall, twelve feet high and eight inches thick, suddenly caved in upon them. A German laborer known by the name of Joseph was frightfully out about the head and shoulders. George Thomas, foreman, was facing the wall when it fell. Eye~witnesses say that he stood as though paralyzed. He did not move from the spot and the wall as it fell struck him full in the face, head and neck. The left side of his face was .carried away. His nose was torn off and his eyes were literally torn from their sockets. As soon as the dust had settled and the work of clearing: away the bricks began a call was sent out for three ambulances. Before the ambulances reached the spot the man Joseph had been discovered and carried into the street, where he died almost im- mediately. The foreman was taken to the hospital. At first it was thought the wall had buried a number of other men, but nn mnhn L.\,'.l.'-_ 1- ., 1 awakened in similar manner; bats came not in singles spies, butâ€"if the expression be allowedâ€"in “battalions.” Each speci- men was carefully desposited in the drawer. At last, after an unusually long chase, he was so heated that he opened the widow, and having retired exhausted enjoyed a few hours sleep. When he , awoke he jumped out of bed and opened [the drawer very cautiously. to look for the prize of the night; but, 10! there were no bats there! He opened the drawer wide, and then discovered that it had no back to it. He had, in fact, spent his night in catching the bat, which had flown out at the back of the drawer as soon as he had put it in at the front, and when the window was opend, had finally escaped. An amusing anecdote is related of Geo. ’ Honey, who, some years ago, while on a '. tour in the provinces, had taken lodgings i in a house in the outskirts of a town. Soon , after retiring, he was awakened by a flut~ _ tering noise, as of a bird, around the cur~ tain of his bed. He sprang up, struck a ‘ light, and saw a small, dark creature, with ‘ wings, blundering about the room. N Otl being well versed in natural history, he did not recognize it as a bat; but thinking it queer sort of a bird, he resolved to catch it, if possible, and examine it by daylight. So he took his felt hat and at- tempted, for a long time in vain, to cap- ture the intruder, but at length he pounced upon it, carefully removed it from his hat with his hand, shut it up in a drawer. Listened while it struggled for a few moments to escape, and then went to bed and was soon asleep. But he was not destined to sleep long. Hardly had ‘he dozed oil when a further fluttering awakened him, and lighting another match, he found a second bat. He had 3 an exciting scramble before he caught - this one, but finally he succeeded and put it in the drawer with its companion, and again retired. Again, however he was awakened in similar manner,- hate mm. THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY, MAY 23, son Watson.
