ST. MALO'S GRIM STORY. Blown Out to Sea In n lltmt He AVnn cued from Sharks After Seven Day. A remiirUnlilo story of tlio oca comes from St. M;i1o. the narrator being an nn airjit mariner named Baiiche, wlioso pain Itil .'.xpericiii'fK in a small boat on the octsin ought to ha a warrant for tlio trutli lils tale. Hnuclie had signed articles with the captain of n vessel called lho Matliilde, in which lie Hailed to Marti Clique. While in the harbor of St. Pierre 5n a lwat with the cabin boy one day lie was driven oeeanwnrd by a guio of wind and was l:nocI;i'd about for a week on the waves before he wan readied by a Nor wegian bark. After the first night at sea Bauchesays lliat tho cabin boy became jiartly deliri ous, water was filling tlio boat every in stant, nnil in order to prevent tlio dying lad frqm being drowned in it the old sailor mado pails from the legs of bin pantalooim, and was thus enabled to keep tlio Ijottoni of the little craft tolerably dry. lie had also to deprive himself of his nliirt, which he utilized an a flag of 1mlress. On the third day the cabin loy tlietl, and liard'y was the breath out of hia lKkly before hoven or eight ferocious black sharks began to circle round the boat, which they sometimes almost "4ouclied. Rather than deliver up the -djad IkxIv to the monsters of lho deep Uauclie kept it until it becamo decom tposed. Being afraid of illness, he at length throw it overboard after having said his pmyers over it, and the prey was speed dly seized by the sharks, who disappeared "with it and did not show up again for about twenty-four hours or so. Bauche now felt ho utterly miserable that ho was thinking of throwing him self overboard, when ho was dissuaded ifroui bis intention by the reappearance lc IUU1 1 1 in iiu.Miiwii a, x li -."vv liim rnr. xenously for sonio time, actually began to ,-Kambol before, him, as if in anticipation of a irood feed olf his body. "I did not want to bo eaten alive," remarked Dauche, in his narrative of his perilous adventures, "w I remained whero I was and awaited assistance." On tho seventh lay the sailor lost consciousness, fell -down in (lie boal, and was rescued in an insensible condition by Capt. Puderson, of the Vladimir. In his mouth tho Norwegian sailors found what they first thought was an old quid of tobacco, but which proved to bo part of the horn handle of his knife, which Bauoho was crunching to stave oil hunger when ho became unconscious. Tho rescued Hailor, after having been taken to New Orleans, obtained a pas sago home to St. Malo. Paris Cor. Lon don Telegraph. I'omjit'Hiiiis T.IIumI Iltmst Pig.

The pig was being cooked, sind was probably nearly done at the time, when the olcanio storm burst in and KKilid it. This is not a matter of conjecture, for ai mass of indurated lava and ashes has Jmuii found in a stow pan standing on a axiking Ktove in tho kit:lien of a disin terred house, and on opening the lump a jHrfect mold of a suckling porker was disclosed. A cast was taken of tho hol Jow and the result w is a fae-simile in plaster of the little animal, which had been trussed in M'teiitillo style, and is supposed, from the sliupn of tho matrix, to liavo been just ready for tho table.

ZoI:i'h Opinions, Zola has fixed opinions on Socialism, and says at heart ho believes himself to boa Socialist, lie alarmed us ono day by naying, Before another century shall have hardly begun nay, before this cen tury ends I believe society will bo over turned. This nodal revolution will begin in Germany, I am mh o. for German So cialists are the most determined. My 9woks are all written in pity, for I have carefully studied the miseries of miners, thu miseries of all workmen. Tho revo lution of 17811 did nothing for tho work ing classes, I mean the ouvriers.

Tlio woman is a Degress, as black as night and of n stature slightly above average, but mag nificently built and extraordinarily nc tive.

Such occasions are fraught with great profit to the trade. It is now con sidered out of place for a brido to wear any jewelry except pearls before she has plighted her faith at the altar. There aro exceptions to this rule, however Tho daughter of the Russian embassa dor, who wag recently married, wore at tached to her bodice tho badge of her office as maid of honor to tho empress. The jewel was composed of diamonds, hanging by a pale blue ribbon. Sho also wore a superb diamond buckle in tho folds of her dress. This jowel was given her by tho Princo nnd Princess of Denmark. After her marriage tho brido is ex pected to bedeck herself in all tlio gems and jewels which her friends havo seen fit to bestow upon her and to keep them on exhibition during tho first week after marriage. In accordance with this cus torn tho Russian bride I havo mentioned showed her jewels, among which was an elegant brooch composed of three large sapphires arranged in a triple pendant, a branch of ivy in diamonds and a brooch in tho form of a lily made of clustered diamonds, with an elongated sapphire in each ietal. Another was in tho form of a butterfly with two sapphires in each wing. Thero was also a cable chain bracelet with a row of sapphires alter nated with diamonds set on each link. Paris Cor.
