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

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

thu very day I hat tho restless Titan under
Jlount Vesuvius expectorated from his
ih'.ry lungs the shower of rod hot ashes
which entombed tho Pompeiians in their
dwellings. 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
peasants obtained laud; thu ouvriers lost
privileges they had formerly enjoyed.
Let us hope that this social transforma
tion will comu without bloodshed, for
otherwise what may occur 1 know not."

Jim, but his services proved unavailing.

John Baxter and three of his assistants,
all men of fine physique. Tlio woman
is a Degress, as black as night and of n
stature slightly above average, but mag
nificently built and extraordinarily nc

able to break two of the bone3 of the
hand of the woman with whom she had
a fracas recently, and it was on the po
lico attempting to arrest her that she not
only was able to prevent them putting
the handcuffs on her, but, taking the
officer and his posse one by one, flung
them out of the houso and closed and
locked the door.
Baxter, in particular, is accounted a
man of unusual strength, and is of large
build, but ho says his muscles wcro as n
child's when compared with thoso of the
black Amazon. Tho woman, whose
name is Carolino Jenkins, is about 30
years old, and is the mother of seven
children. Sho has been seen to pick up

of several yards without appearing to

The jewelers of Paris aro particularly
happy on account of tho largo number
of marriages which have occurred this
season. 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.
