the 18 h of November the gig having
been htted for tbe expedition by " ratt
ing" ber about tix inches and decking
ber over amidst tbe cheert of those
left behind, for whom they bad volun
teered to leek relief, and a most devoat
prayer from every one for a speedy and"
tare voyage. The tad result of the
voyage in tbe boat ha already been
published. Lieutenant John G. Tal
bot and three of the boat' crew per
ished, and cockswain William Halford
alone survived to relate the mournful
storv. :
After tb gig left tbe island,, work
was immediately commenced on a boat
of much larger size than tbe cutter or
Big, in which, wben completed, it was
tbe intention to send a crew to Midway
Island for such supplies a were to be
tound there, and, if necemry, to dis
oatch another expedition to tbe Islands.
Tbls was to be done in case a time bad
elapsed during which all b ope of tbe
safe arrival of tbe gig and tbe retnrn
ot relief should have ceased. Calcu
lations bad been made of tbe time
which would elapee before relief would
come, end about tbe lit of January
was fixed for the arrival of a vessel
from Honolulu.
At this time there wat nothing left
of tbe wrecked steamer but the star
board tide of the qjarter deck. Oa
the 23d of November, 26 men were on
tbe sick list. Seal and turtle bad been
found, tbe former ia considerable num

Tbe last nomination, though generally',

hit new place not only experience in

Hampton, clerk of the boat, to tfce a
shot. He darted forward, carbine In

Tbe remainder cf the men, being

Terrible Affray In Texas.
On the 29th of December word was
brought to the State police of a theft
of some valuable horses from Messrs
Jones, Vivian A Btnoit, and measures
were immediately taken to follow them.
About 110 milet from here tbe citizens
came across the horses, and tbey rode
op to secure tbem, when from the
hrush they were fired upon, and
Messrs. Benoit and Vivian fell dead
from tbeir torses, literally riddled
itb balls.
Tbe balance of the pursuing partv
turned in upon tbe Mexican thieves.

however, without further losses, for
tbe two Mexicans who were with Mr.
Prrry were killed, leaving Mr. Perry
Mud one other survivor the sole rem
nant of the party of six that bad
started.
The thieves must have numbered
twelve or fifteen, for, while the fight
was raging, part of the band cut loose
and drove off tbe horses, and, when
out of reach, tbe remaining thieves
fled. Tbe two survivors did Dot feel
warranted 1n following, so tbey re
turned, bringing the tad tiding! of tbe
fate of the well-known citizens wbo
bad started with tbem. Mr. T. J
Vivian it well known throughout this

A Hxboic K.NGisixa. The name of
of Enos B. Hoopes, engineer on tbe
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, de
serves immortality ai tbat ot a hero,
for the manner in wbicb he recently
met bis death. A car attached to a
freight train, bound west, bad lost a
wheel, and wa being carried down a
grade by tbe momentum of th train,
pitching and jumping over crosa tiet,
and making the fire fly oat ot the
stones and iron. Mr. Hoopes was com
iag eastward on a train with fast
freight, and as be Seared the wrecked
train be thought he saw something
wrong. It was dark, and to tee more
plainly h stepped to tbe fireman's side,
whlcb is next tbe other track. Just
then the wrecked car strnck bit engine
breaking bis leg in fonr places, crush-
toe his hip, tearing away balf of one
or bis teet, and knocking bim, in com
pany with the Eremao and brakeman,
bark into tbe tank. Every man npon
Mr. Hoopes' engine waa injured. Tbe
fireman and brakemen lay senseless on
tbe floor of tbe tank. Tbe conductor
of tha train and th other breakmen
were oo a rear car and knew nothing
of the disaster. Tbe train wat not to
much irjnred as to delay its progress,
and Mr. Hoopes knew tbat if it wat
not promptly ttopped it matt run into
tbe hind end of th one next ahead,
which would stop st a station lest than
three miles off for water. Mr. Hoopet,
crntbed aad bleeding, dragged himself
lowly and painfully over the prostrate
bodies of his comrades to the throttle
valve of his engine, shut off tbe steam,
whistled down breakes, sounded tbe
summons lor the conductor aad fell
back exhausted. - Wben tbe train
stopped and the conductor cam for
ward Mr. Hoopes was trying to stop
tbe flow of bluod .from bis wounds by
tying np his shattered leg, and said.
It is ill np with me : do the best you
can for me." - Ha lingered until next
day in great agony, v- hich he bore with
his nsusl bravery, and then died, la
mented by all who knew him.
This eminently natural speech was
delivered by a young women, at the
Women's Convention at Akron, Ohio :
For my own part, I love man, in

any woman, and to 1 am tare, doe

would utter tbeir sentiments. I am
more anxious for man's elevation and
improvement than for woman's, and so
