Tho St. Giles Christian Mission gave a dinner on the second of De comber to select criniiniils, only those who wero guilty of tho moro serious crimes, such as snfo crack ing, burglary, highway robberv, etc., being admitted to the feast.

Ivisler, late commandcrn clork, lnitcd Stntoa nnvy, now a rosidont of Ilouiwtlnle, ni., told tho following to n I'liiladolphia Pros roportur of n roiiinrknblo ex perience of an American sailor with n whale. Me says: CJoorije I.cuord, an acting master in the United States imvy tluringtlio civ il war, ami stntionctl on board the gunboat ICittnlidnn, west gulf hlockiiditig squadron, in ISOlt, told a story of lieioism and exhibited marks on liis body that corrobora ted his words. The yenr 1S.0 foil ml Leonard as one of the crow on the ship Enterprise, n whaler in the north l'acilic. t)no tiny lie was stationed on the bow of a.wludo boat, it long (lis tnnce from the ship, with a brave crew that bad sighted a wlinle and madu for thu monster with all possible dispatch. When within proper dintnncu Leonard threw his harpoon, striking the tUli hard and deep. In some manner the line, as it was running out caught tlio body of one of tho men in such u way as to throw him overboard. Tho man suddenly sank, whereup on Leonard transferred his line to n boatmate and sprang into thu ocean in aid of thu drowning sai lor. Tho whale now maddened by his fast llowing blood, ntadon rush for the boat. Komarknblo and horrible to re late, Leonard's friend had manag ed to regain the boat, while no was caught by the whalo between its jaws, his position inaido tho monsters mouth, with nothing pro truding but one of his arms. In thiii manner the uinii was in reali ty within tho jaws of death itsolf. The whalo instantly plunged down in tho (loop ami, in tip) words of Leoniirn himself, "tho lUli seemed to bo going down, down into eter nity. Tho imprisoned man, after all thin, had not lost his presence of mind. lie mustered his entire bodily strength and hu was a powerful man - actually bracing iiiiiiM'lf in such a position as to compel tho lish to spread its jaws. At the samo time, with bis arm that was free, ho grablcd tlio sheaf knifo out of its sockit, cutting right and left. No sooi.or was there a suflicient opening madu tli, in Leonard forced his body out side. Hp to tho surface hu swam, when, most stingo to any, hu found himclf in an arms length of the boat. Ho was saved. Tho .Murks of tho whnlo's violence and the dents of its teeth woie plainly visible on Leonard's nun, and ho was always pointed out by bis brother ollicers as the second" Jo nah."

Some ridioulotir things hapmn al funerals, and inorn than iuwh trim sorrow has blushed to smile at fun ny incidents occurring as tmlooked for parts of tho saddest occasions.

Someone bad wrillon in fliu R-rvioe "pause bore," which bo do- niieratoiy read and paused later. Abe Lincoln SMnned Mini. "If I can free this case from technicalities nod get it properly swung to the jury, I'll win it." Abraham Lincoln used to say, when conlidont of the justice of tho cause lie presented. He was weak in defending n wrong ease, for ho was mentally and morally too honest to explain away the bail points of a case by ingenious sophistry. Instead of attempting to bolster up such a cause, he abandoned it. One he abandoned a case in open court, being convinced that it was unjust. A less fastidious lawyer took Mr. Lincoln's place nnd won the case. Mr. Ileriidon, in his "Life of Lincoln," tells a story which ex hibits his ability in getting a ease ho believed in "properly swung to the jury." A pension agent, named Wright secured for tho widow of a revolu tionary soldier n pension of $100, of which sum he retained one half as his fee. The pensioner, a crip pled old woman, hobbled into Lin coln's ollicu ami told her story. It stirred Lincoln up; hu brougli suit ngnititft the agent, and on the day of the trial ho said: "I'm iriiiiwr tn ukin Wriirht. iiiiiL- .... M ... d " get the money back." lie did so. The old woman told her story to the jury. Liu coin, in his plon, drew it picture of thu hnnlshiprt of Valley Forge, de scribing tho soldiers as creeping barefooted over the ice, and mark ing their tracks by their bleeding feet. Then he contrasted the hard ships of the soldier, endured for their country, with thu hardened action action of thu agent in llecc ing thu old woman of one-half of her pension. He was merciless; the members of the jury were in tears, and the nguut writhered in his seat under the castigntion of Lincoln's denun ciation. Thu jury returned a ver dict in her favor for the full amount, and Lincoln madu no charge for his services. The Massachusetts supremo court has ruled that n man who is injur o.l in a railroad acuident while rid ing on n pass cannot recover dam ages. Reports come from certain sailors of the existence of a lariw country north of Alaska, which does not ap pear on any map or churl.

Amla goodly man who livoa mi selliiohly and disinterestedly, and seeks tho good of other men, can not die out of this world, When ho goes hence ho leaves behind much of himself.
