When last in Central American. waters her stem became so pitted that in order to make her seaworthy a wooden sghoe had to be put on. This re- quired a week or more in the drydock and & considerable expenditure of money. Her machinery was also overhauled and when she sailed for Panama and way ports last Thursday at noon everybody thought she was all right. There was something wrong somewhere, however, as yesterday afternoon the City of Para came back through the storm with her “‘machinery disabled.” She will be over- hauled once again and may get away on her voyage to-morrow. ‘The French ship Bourbaki while making port yesterday struck on the bar. She | consequence the vessel struck. | | Witam €. | T 1 iexezgeral»d.

She ran close inshore during the fog and Captain Mace was compelled to drop an- chor in_ the breakers outside of Point Reves\Creek. She hung there for quite a while, but finally the land breeze and a tug took her out of danger. HAS A PLEASANT VOYAGE. Oceanic Steamship Company’s Mail Boat Alameda Arrives on Time. The Oceanic Steamship Company's mail boat Alameda arrived on time yesterday morning, as usual. She was only de- tained an hour or so in quarantine by Dr. Kinyoun, and reached her dock about 1 p. m. The voyage was an uneventful one and those aboard had a pleasant trip. The cabin passengers were: From Sydney—D. Ergkine, Mre. Reynolds, P. B. Mann, Miss Crickett, Dr. I Mills and wife, W. Bottomley and wife, A. Knowles, wite gnd maid, F. B. Mann Jr., William Sherer, Jr.. Phil ‘Branson and wife, Miss Throckmorton, Miss Weppener, Miss Dulcle Mann, A. Scott and wife, John Spalckhauer. From Auckland—Waliter Bentley and valet, W. Wright, Henry Lindale, Fred Repler, Emith, G. Hales, T. Repler and Inman, Willlam Thompson, W. Hansell, Miss I. Repler, Miss A. Currie. From Honolulu—W.

M Lafferty and wife, George McLeod and wife, G. Sharpe, A. 8. Collins, Mrs. T. 8. Doug- las, G. A. Hodson, A. Loulsson, Mrs. Morse, G. 'H. Offey, Mrs.' Luck. | Among those who came up from Hono- |lulu was G. A. Hodson, the well-known | purser of the Moana. He comes back to | enter the service of the Oceanic Steamship Company. From here Mr. Hodson goes East to join the Scnoma and will come around the Horn as purser of that vessel. When he left the Moana at Honolulu Mr. Hodson was presented with one of the | prettiest illuminated addresses ever got up on a passenger ship. The address | was accompanied by & purse of sovereigns and the hearty gooé wishes of all aboard the mail boat. eSS Trouble on the Coalinga. The American bark Coalinga is ready for sea, but Captain Evans demands his pound of flesh and it may be a week be- | for the vessel gets away. He made an ar- | rangement with Hunt, the shipping mas- wife, M: Mrs. I | ter, by which he was to = “blood money” with a rebate of §7 5. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. would not stand for the arrangements and then there was a gen- | eral kick all around. Next the Shipown- ers’ Asscclation offered to supply a crew for $15 ““bone” or “blood money,” but it cannot procure the men, so the Coalinga | 1s tied up In the stream awalting a crew in order to get away for Callao. plesi (0 20 Steamer Albion Arrives.

Captaln Erickson says the storles telegraphed about the disaster at Dexter Point, Golofnin Bay, were grossiy One of the lifeboats con- taining eighteen men was coming from the beach to the ship. A sudden squall upset her and three of the men—Gustave Clem, Joe Clancy and Joseph Ianoset— started to swim for the Alblon. The rest of the crew stayed by the lifeboat. The three swimmers soon got tired and scelng o trunk floating along they made for it. There was nothing to told on to | and one after another the men drowned. Those who stayed by the lifeboat were | rescued and came t8 San Francisco. Among _them was J. Marsden, president of the Kimball Steamship Company, and Captain W. M.

A second thought convinces us that the subject is {ar broader than this—hu- mor is the very life blood of all literature, its genial current pulses in every master- plece. A list of the humorists, with few | exceptions, is n list of the masters. The impulse to class as humorists only the Theodore Hook variety of writers comes from a confusicn as to the true | nature of wit and humor. Many bottles of ink have been expended in attempts to | elucidate the distinction between these | terms. Hazlitt, for instance, has made a | long and profound analysis which ex- | hausts both the subject and the reader. | But the distinction is by no mears an | abstruse one; wit deals only with intellect: humor touches also the feelings. | Wit is unsympathetic and often cruel; it | raises a laught at the expense of another; | humor is gentle and sympathetic, it MAIL COMPANY'S CITY OF PARA RETURNING TO PORT.

The tale begins with a dream from which Chanti- | cleer awakes in herror. “HBy God, 1 dreamed that I giawe was In such & Just fow that even nmow my heart is sore agraid [ dreamed how that T roamed up and down Within our yard when I beheld a beast | Like to a dos. who would have made arrest Upon my_body and would have made me dead. . : : “ v Awey! quoth she, fle on you, craven one! Alas' quoth she, for by that God above Now have you lost my heart and all my love; 'l cannot love a coward by my faith How durst you say for shame unto your love That anything might make you afraid? Have you no man's heart and have a beard? Alas and can ye be aghast of dreams, Nothing God wots but vanity in a dream, Dreams are engendered of repletion ©Of glutteny and of humors.™ But alas fqr the dream! On a bright March day lorig after the curtain lecturs had been forgotten the Cock suddeniy espied amid the weeds the object of his terror. He was fleeing in dire haste when | the Fox gently called him and assured him of his friendship: Now truly the cause of my comin | Was only for to harken how you sing, | For truly you have as merry a volce | As any angel hath that is in heaven. { My lord, your father, God his soul bless, And also your mother with her gentleness, Have in my house been to my And certainly, sir, full vain would I Save you I never heard one sing As did your father in the morning." To make his voice more clear it was his custom, declared the Fox, to shut hard his eyes and stretch out his neck to its full extent. The Cock, ravished by this flattery, tried to crow in the manner of Ris father and was instantly seized and | earried away. “O destiny, that may not be eschewed, Alas that Chanticleer flew from the beams! Alas that his wife recked nothing for his dreams! | And on a Friday happened all this nL." Confusion at once broke loose. | ““Certes, such cry nor lamentation | Was never of ladies made when lilon was won. | But chiefly dame Pertelote did shriek Full louder than did Hasdrubale's wife When that her husband had lost his Iife The owner of the hens and her daugh- ters, startled by the fearful cry, add to the din with: ! harrow! and wellaway! Ha, ha. the fox! and after him they ram, And also with staves many another man. Ran Cotte, our dog, and Talbot and Gerland, And Malkin, with a distat in ber hand; Ran cow and calf and also even the hogs They were so frightened at the barking dogs And shouting of the men and women, too. They yelled as flends and devils do in hel The ducks squalled out as if they'd come to kiil, The geese for fear flew far above the trees: Out af the hive poured all the swarm of bees, So hideous was the noise, ah! benedicit Certes Jack Straw and all Made never shouts one-half so shrill When that they would a Fleming kill As that day was made upon the fox. Of brass they brought trumpets and of box, Of horn, of bone, on which they blew amain It seemed as {f the heavens womld fall.” A little présence of mind on the part the Cock ends the tale. At his advice (I‘:og Fox opens his mouth to rail at his nolsy pursuers, and the lucky fowl flies quickly to a tree, from which no argument can dislodge him. The main charm of this simple tale, of which I-have given only the baldest of outlines, lies in its genuine humor. It is not barnyard fowis that we see, but hu- manity with its petty erudition, its fears, its superstitions, its vanity. is no bitterness; there are few bursts of wit, but through it all and over it spreads and quivers the lambent gleam of 2 true humor that cannot be caught, that cannot_be analyzed.
