"8niiib, of Oregoo," who had made a
meet grotrooe eanrlflee iq amiisiing a
younc UJy to rearh ibe there. '
There aa relief la the mioda of many
wbeo no ahocklng delaila of trotality on
Ibe part of tbe male paaaengera and
crew ceme, each at rtotd in the ac
count of tbe life of tbe big French liner
La Bonrgogoe, la the North Atlantic a
few teekt prtvioot, which allocked ha
maniiy. On tbe1 contrary, thre were
aotne ooble end ; coarageooa cbaraetert
exhibited to the world by the Mohegan't
wreck. TLeie were men and women
who, to tbe darkeeae of flight amid the
roar of l lie eeia in iu terrible end crate
lete craab on tbe rocky eoafct, nakoown
to them, were quickly contciout of the
eloee proximity of deatli, set could tie
liberate npoo the poriioua tiiualioo with
teote, and, perceiving a chanie of re
cape coolly measure it and make a bat
tle for life.
Tbe most contpicuout 'of these was
Mr. Smitb, who it known among bit ac
quaintances aa "Manny" Smith. Hu
did doable service in the terrific ttruggle
with ibe waters, and by a generous and
heroic action, not excelled on aoy rlJ
of chivalry, saved the life of a lady pas
eoger. Itwaahe who arreiidrrd the
rati to Mias lloDilo'uusli, who was tin
able to bear up and then struck out
alone, since tbe reft had not fOllleient
baiyancy for both, lie had then becu
io the walor soma twtf hoiiY;"ahd a
much longer time elapne.l before he
reached tbe shore. Altogether tie wa
in tbe sea tire houra.
Mr. Smith was toen at home with hit
fathar. He is hi years old, aud his
home has been in Oregon some tn
years, lie says he learned to swim in
the John Day river, wbii:b tuns through
one of ibe family rauches. IN liai boen
ueed to outdoor exercises tuucb, anJ ha
taken great interest in swimming, hav
ing won several swimming matches with
bis friends.
Mr. Smith tells of the Mohegan wreck
without ibe leant pretension, though
me Lonuoti ana ew xora papers liave
bad much to say of his exploit. He
satshebad just gone to his cabin to
dres for dinner when the craeb came
"I thought we had collided with another
vessel," he taid, "and was not greatly
alarmed, as we were near land and
could be saved by lh boats. I ran out,
meeting a lady with two children at the
tout of tbe stairway, who cried, 'What
shall I do with my children T' I made
my way to the deck to whete the sailors
were, lo see what the men were dointr.
1 learned that we were on the rock, anil
that tbe vessel wat settling rapidly. I
heard the captain ordering tbe men to
lower tbe boats, and their response, 'Ay,
ay, sir'; then, when the captain cried,
'My God, hurry up menl they replied,
We can't get them loose.' You have
heard the story about the bweriug of
the boats and how they capsized or wire
swamped. A ship's boat was not worth
much in a place like that.
'I ran back to my room after a life
belt and my overcoat, which I secured,
snd made my way (or the rigging. I
taw that it was pretty full and there wat
not much chance for a man there. I
joined others on the upper deck. Mean
time the lights had gone out, so that
thero was no longer much hope for the
lire-saving crew to locate our positii p.
"I thought over the situation. I bad
seen a light just a short time before the
crash, and I did not think we could be
far from shore. I felt that thero was a
chance for me to swiin to laud, or ioiig
enouiih to be pickeJ up. I pulled oil' my
shoes. Water caiuo oyer the deck rap
idly. Tbe people huddled there seemed
to place their main hope on boots from
itio coast station, ah tab uark; we
could see but little, hut people would
say. There they come,' and other,
'Yonder they aro; dou't you see them?'
It was imagination born of hope, for
there was uothiug U be seen. As we
would all shout together to make the
lifesavers hear ue, but thero could not
be much hope of that iu the great roar of
those waves. Some of us thougt we
would try a boat on the deck water was
then over the deck aud I cut It loose,
I waa overcrowded with people immed
lately aud I left It.
"I think it w6 sucked down wheu the
chip sank; anyway, it was lost. 1 saw
It was time (o be gettiug away from that
ship Jmt hofore t Jumped orer the
raits a mm nd lilt wife clinging to etch
olhf r wri near bf. ; The lady taid lo
nit very Dstoarally, 'There ecmt to be
no rhne, no hope for our live tat
ever.' I replied that it lookd that way.
This c inU war apparently resigned t
their laf, v v
' Noon after jumping over a drowning
rain and his son grabbed me, but I man
aged I., break away and was soon aloae.
I bad been out some tims wbn I rarce

The lady whom I lcarotd afterwards
was Mies Bondebush, was abjut gone.
We coold not both oro the raft, to I told
her to cling to it and the chances were

soother, being dashed . down by the
waves, to that I wta battered and broieed
my feet bleeding when I reached a place
ofaafety. Then I beatd voices and saw
a light, and the men of the life station
came np lo ff e. Thirteen of lbs patten-'
gera . were ravrd, among them Mist
Rondebutb, who was rescued ' from tbe
raft by a lifeboat . She in an American
girl abo'it 20 years old. She bad oerve;
otherwise she would not have survived

Naw Yokk, Dec. 20. A ipeoul to tbe
Herald from Washington says: Secre
tary Long, Acting Secretary Allen end
Captain CrowinshieU, chief of the bu
reau of navigation, have been giving a
great deal of attention lo the bomber
and character of ships to bs dittributtd
among tbe North AtlrfTi'lc Jviropeao
and South Atlanlio station!. It is de
sired to retain strong force octhe home
btition and to send a respectable naval
force to Europe, but the ships available
in view of tho strengthening of Rear
Admiral Dewey's command are very
few.
The only armor clads under the com
mand of Kear-Admiral Sampson are tbe
hattle-ebips, Indiana, Massachusetts and
Texas and tbe cruisers Brooklyn and
New York. Only four protected tr jisers
are in commission on Iha North Atlantic
ems', tho Chicago, Cincinnati, Newark,
New Orleans. The New Orleans will be
ili cl out of commiseion to receive
several improvements, aud the smoke
stack of ttio Newark it to be lengthened.
The Cincinnati upon arrival at Now
Yoik will ult)) Im placed out of ccuioiis
siou. Il is expected that lh cruiser Atlanta
be coramfcaioned uext month, the
Newark will bkely be sent to the South
and sh will be reinforced l-y the Wil

boats which are being prepurd a.t the

these will re attach d to the North

Bullet wbixted above tbe trenches
Testing down the stately Mangroee,
Snapping off tbe bamboo branches,
Covering all tbe ground with wreckage.
Shell came tearing down the roadway,
Bursting o'er tbe startlrd soldiers, .
Tearing holes and digging furrow,
Splashing mud o'er the pcke s,
Though surprised they kept vheir cour-

Each man dropped'bis spade or s hovel.
Each, trail grabbed his Springfield rifle;
Utahs loaded op tneir cannon
With the schrapoel shell so dreadful, 1
Then commenced an awful bnng-bnng
Id the svrampe around Malat. '
Every Serlngtield barsed with anger 1 -
Thunder spoke from every cannon,
On the right, the'natives allies,
Men of dark ekina, darker actions,
Fled in tenor from the trenches
Tbey had promised to hold for us
Ran they on till past the distance
That the niaoser ball it dead'y.
Then the cowardi, who deserted,
Sat and listened to tbe noise
Of their friends they left alone there.
Fought tbev there with heavy loeees
Holding their first position,
Till at list'thiir ammunition
Was exhausted by the fighting.
Then the mighty Colonel Hawkins.
Chief Grand Sactetn at tbe trenches.
Told his men to hold their courage,
Told Ihem all to tlx their bayonets
Vnd lie down to wait tbe moment,
When tbe foe should charge tbe earth
works.
Closer, closer came the army
Louder, londer popped the mausers,
But the courage of the Sachem,
Never wavered for un instant,
In the knee deep mud so sticky
Mid the rain which fell in torrents,
Stood be calm, but yet determined,
Cried a captain filled with terror
'Colonel, let my men retreat sir
Or the band will all be slaughtered
By the charging Spanish devils,"
But the Sachem answered frowning
With a voice of angered thunder,
'No, Sir, not if hell drops on ut
Will we leayo this place we're holding.
In disordeilv lotreat, sir;"
For tbe volunteers are green yet
In that part of army tactics,"-
So they lay, each one preparing
For tbe charge tbey knew was coming,
Offered muttered prayers tbe brave men
For tbe loved ones o'er the ocean.
Many fell aud cried while dying
Tell my folk I died a fighting."
Mid these scenes there came an echo
O'er the fields away behind them
Like the borns of some great (Jabrie.1

Louder, louder grew the noise,
Nearer, nearer camo the tuccor

of deepy
unanswerable enigma.
Why should women be
compelled to suffer sim
ply because they are wo-
wh U it that the
source of tueir hiRhcst joyt is at the same
time the cause of tlirir greatest wretched
ness? The very uttribulcs which make It
possible for women to be happy wivea and
niothers also tender them liable to the ut
most physical misery and pain.
Tbe sufferings of body and nnnd caused
by some weakness of the distinctly feminine
organs are so almost universal nraonf wo
men that the question micht well be aaked:
" Ia this Nature's punishment for the crime
of being a woman?"
The true answer is No! These tufferimja
are neither natural nor necessary. They
would not exist if the organism waa healthy.
No woman ought to endure such troublea.
There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription is a perfect and positive
cure for feminine weakness and disease.
It gives health and strength to tbe ape.
clal organs aud nerve-centres; heals inflam
mation; stops weakening drains; promotes
fuuctional regularity, and restores the nor
mal, vigorous 'aud painless condition, which
Nature intended.
It is the only medicine of its kind in
vented by an educated and experienced
physician. It is the only medicine which
makes baby's coming safe aud compara
tively painless.
Any woman who would like to xnow
more about this medicine and about her
own physicial inaVe-up should send ai one
