How the Wreck of a Steamship In 1853 Was Reported. The ocean passenger steamer Franklin ran ashore on the south side of Long Is land, opposite Center Moriches, at 8 o'clock on the morning of July 8, 1852. There was a dense fog prevailing at the time, and the officers of the vessel lost their bearings completely and did not know exactly where they were when tho steamer stranded. Surfmen and boats were not as plentiful along the coast line in those days as they are now. Several hours elapsed before boats were secured equal to the task of making their way through the surf to the 6teamer. Until communication was had with the vessel nothing was known about her. Finally a boat's crew came ashore, and tho vessel's name and destination were made known. Her commander made ar rangements with Sidney 13. Topping to go to New York and report the stranding of the steamer to the board of underwriters, whose office at that time was in Wall street. Mr. Topping at once crossed the bay to the mainland and harnessed up his horse to a light wagon and started for Pat chogue, 14 miles away. It was just noon time when he stepped into the wagon. At Patchogue he changed horses and con tinued his journey to Babylon. Another change of horses was made at that place, and Mr. Topping started for Jamaica. IIi9 horse was pretty well winded when that place was reached, and he changed ani mals and continued on to Brooklyn, and crossing the ferry drove to the underwrit ers' office in Wall street. It was just 6 o'clock in the evening when ho ascended the office steps. He had made tho journey of a little more than 70 miles in exactly six hours. Having reported the full details of the wreck to the underwriters, Mr. Topping drove around to the office of a leading newspaper and furnished the information for publication. He rccehed a check lor $50 from the paper and was told that had he brought a ropy of a foreign newspaper from the Franklin they would have given him $100. Mr. Topping was postmaster in West hampton during the var and was a prom inent figure on the cast end of Long Island. He died in West Hampton at the age of 77. New York Herald. IS IT PREJUDICE? Marriage Is Happiest, It Is Claimed, if the Wife Be Senior. Every one has his own idea as to what will constitute a happy marriage, but there is ono point on which nearly all agree the wife must not be older than the husband. People who look complacently on the spectacle of a girl of 16 or 18 marrying a man twice her age are ready to declare it a profanation of tho marriage altar if the bride is a few years older than the bride groom, it) wouiu ue a curious suiay in sociology to trace this prejudice to its source. A prejudice it undoubtedly is, for somo of tho happiest marriages known to the world have been those in which the wife was tho older of the two. Every one who knows his Boswell knows the extraordinary devotion of Johnson to the fat, ugly widow whoso manners were execrable and who was nearly twice his age, so the spiteful biographers say. Ho knows, too, how happy Tetty made John son and what a grief her death was to the great man. The marriage of Margaret r ulier and the Count d'Ossoli was a brilliant success In point of happiness, though sadly brief. Margaret was seven years older than her husband and refused him several times on this ground, but his devotion and per sistency overcame her reluctance, and the result of the marriage fulfilled her dream of such happiness. It is said that all who saw them together wcro struck by the loverlike fondness and exquisite deferenco of D'Ossoli's manner toward tho plain New England woman, seven years his sen ior, whose only attraction apparently was her great intellect. Mrs. Story says of him: "No service was too trivial, no sacrifice too great. When she was ill, he nursed her and watched qver.hcr with the Corn responds readily to proper fer tilization.

It made green her days and gave her an expression of peace and serenity which before was a 6tranger to her." Disraeli's wife was his senior, yet the marriage was a notably happy one. Phil adelphia Press. A Practical Reformer. He had not been in business very long, or he would assuredly have known better than to open his placo of business near a sonn what pretentious neighborhood and place the sign "Gents' Furnishing Store" over tho door. He observed that a prim looking lady paused and stared at it when ever she parsed, and ho was pleased to think that she was struck by its artistic qualities. "It pays to have things done right," he 6aid to his salesman. 44 Tho extra gold leaf in that lettering cost money, but it at tracts attention." Ono day tho prim looking lady came into the 6hop. Tho proprietor hastened to wait on her and earnestly endeavored to display tho affable courtesy befitting the occasion. "What can I show you today, madam?" he inquired, after bowing several times in rapid succession. "I was attracted by your 6ign," 6he an swered. "I would like to inspect the goods you mention." "I don't remember having called atten tion to any special lines in my window." "I refer to the sign over your door. My 6istcr and I are going to give a series of tableaux vivants. Somo of them will de pict scenes in the lower elements of society, and we 6hould like to have you furnish us with a few gents for the occasion." She gazed at his embarrassment with great satisfaction for a moment and de parted without further conversation. As sho turned tho corner the proprietor thoughtfully remarked, "Tom, I guess you'd better hunt up another sign painter and a schoolteacher and have them come and talk this over." Washington Star. Larjje Doings. On Long Island, a hundred and more years ago, there was fox hunting for three days during tho season, and the biography of Catherine Schuyler contains the follow ing apt lines, from the pen of a witty woman whoso name, unfortunately, re mains unknown: A fox is killed by twenty men. That fox perhaps had killed a hen. A gallant act no doubt is here. All wicked foxes ought to fear When twenty dogs and twenty men Can kill a fox that killed a hen. Youth's Companion. Tho cravat was originally a large shawl worn around tho neck, not for show, but for comfort, by a nation of eastern Europo called Cra ates or Croats.
