Inside the perspiring clerks worked silently counting out great stacks of bank bill*, and in a li'.tlo back room half a score of gray-boarded directors fanned themselves, and with beooming dignity discussed the situation. A few blocks down the street the body of George 8. Hill, the dead cashier, lay In a rosewood coffin awaiting burial.

London, Sept 8.—A ghastly caw of mis•ry at sea wa» brought to light by the arrival at Falmouth of the German bark Uontcsuma from Rangoon, having on board thu survivors of the yacht Mignonette. The yacht wai of only thirty-three tons burden, but she sailed from Southampton for Australia on the 19th of May. On the 11th of June, when near the Equator, in the Indian ocean, she encountered a storm which sent lier to the bottom. Four of her com |*my escaped in a dingy from the sinkin; vessel. They were the commander, Capt Dulley, two seamen and a boy named Parker. All the provisions which they were alile to throw into the boat before the vessel sank consisted of a few tins of turnips, and they wero absolutely without water. They su Insisted for five days on the cauued turnips, and on the fifth day they caught a small turtle. They had been terribly tortured by thirst, and on the eighth day their suffering* were maddening. Bjf the twelfth day every shred of the tortic, including its skin, had been consumed, and there was absolutely nothing left to eat in the little boat. The boy Parker was the weakest of the four sufferers, and it was evident that he was (lowly dying. The others hungrily watched his symptoms of dissolution. On the twentieth day. after the entire party had been without a particlc of food for eight days, the captain hastened young Parker's death by opening a vein in his arm. The three survivors eagerly drank of the boy's blood as it gushed from hit arm, and they cut the flesh from his bone: and ate it uncooked, but with som D degree of mo It-ration, the captain keeping possession of the carcase and serving out to him self and the two sailors only such dally rations as were necessary to preserve their lives. 'ihey prolonged their wretched existence in this way until the 5th of July, when they were seen and rescued by the Montezuma. During the twenty-four days that hfd elapsed sinoe the sinking of the yacht the dingy had drifted 980 miles. Clots.

They spread to adjoining limber yard* aad to adjacent manufactories, adjoining rail road depute and immense freight houses The dog at once sprang Into the surf and made gallant headway toward the drowning woman, while a crowd stood on the pier and •agegjr watched the animal's efforts. When the Newfoundland reached the woman she was (airly exhausted. He seized her by the arm with a strong grip of his jaws, and turning toward the shore, dragged her with him. The crowd cheered wildly when it became apparent' that ho was making headway against the rough sea. The woman appeared unwilling or unable to resist the rough attentions of the big animal. She was brought into shallow water without making a motion. Her friends took her( away and the watchman patted his noble dog fondly on the back. The dog appeared as proud as his master. Efforts were made to keep the lady's identity a secret, as her friends, it was said, wished to avoid notoriety. It was ascertained, however, that she was a Hiss Fetagy. a .guest qf the Brighton Beach hotel. She was a goad swimmer, but was suddenly seized with cramps, and was unable to stem the strong undercurrent. nsswsr/.-.'.VvV...- :::::: ProvUnice.........  itt 4 11 ii 60 li. IC.

Staple ton, a I., Sept &—A tout 50 young men were bathing in the Narrows, at the old ferry wharf, yesterday morning when a shark was seen to be making toward the group. The bathers made spaBmodio efforts to get ashore, and all wore soon out of danger except Thomas Ko«hler, who had been diving, and had gotmreare full of water, so that he could nop hear the warning shouts of Ills comrades. The shark and Keehler were on opposite sides of a pier. Among those on the pier was John Taylor, who formerly had considerable experience as a' diyer for a coast wrecking company, and had in that business become familiar with sharks. Taylor grabbed a sheath knife from a friend, and, is the shark swam past the end of the pier, having already turned belly upward to seiae Koehler, be leaped into the water very near the shark. As he struck the water be plunged the knife into the shark. The water was instantly reddened with blood.

Dudley and the two seamen who survived the wreck of that vessel in the Indian Ocean, were "arrested Saturday evening and charged in court yesterday with the murder of the cabin boy Parker, who perished on the raft on which they floated until picked up by the bark Uontezuma. The case seems likely to be one of the greatest sensations of the season. One of the survivors states that when the desperation of hunger had brought them to the pass of hastening Parker's death each man still drew back and signalled to another to do tho terrible deed. Parker, in his weakness, was meanwhile oblivious to the scene around him. Finally tlie captain kneeled and prayed forgiveness for the act which ha was ahou*. to perform. He then approached tho boy and said, "Now, Parser, the time has come." The lad, roused by thesD worJs, and seeing the knife in Dudley's hands, realized the dread fate in store for him. "What! me, sirl" he cried, appealingly. "Yes, my boy," replied the oaptain, "it *il! only be one stab, and all will be over." With these words he plunged the knife into the boy's trembling - form, and almost before life was extinct the erased men were quenching their thirst with flowing blood. .  The Temps explains the recent report that the French had again bombarded Kelung as resulting from the fact that while Admiral Gonrbet, on board the gunboat Bayard, was inspecting thedefenses of Kelung the Chinoe fired from the fortifications upon the Bayard, wounding four sailors. The French man-i fwar replied to this assault and demolished the Chinese battery, after which Courbet returned to Uin with the steamer.

Baltimore, Sept 8.— The association of Old Defenders, whose members took part in the battle of North Point, in the war of 1812, has disbanded, ths few survivors being disabled by infirmities. It has been the custom of the associatiou for many years to attend church in a body on the Sunday proceding Sept 12, each member wearing a cockade, and crape on his left arm. This ceremony did not take place 8a turd ay. Annually on Sept. 12 they formed in line with drum and fife, marched to Calvert street and around the Battle Monument with uncovered heads, and then went to some pleasure retreat near the city and partook of their annual dinner. The constitution provided that it should be kept up as long as there were five members able and willing to continue the organization. Year after year the veterans have been dropping out of the ranks, overcome by the burden of years, until there are not five left who are able to attend a mooting of tlie association, and it has therefore been dissolved.
