Lf.oxaiio and his wife, Min nie Leonard, both lately connected with 51 iss Seilson's company, were on board the wrecked steamer. Mr. Ieonard gives the following irraphic' description of the col lision: "The moment the other ship struck us the lights went out and a tuctie of intense excitement followed. Some one struck a light, and women and children were bur ning about and screaming in the most ab ject terror. Someone called out, 'Get your life-preservers,' and there was at once a rush for them. I got a couple, and tried to fasten one on to my wife, but there were no buckles or straps to it . They were practically use less. We rushed "out with tlie crowd. and when we reached the stern ihe bow of the vessel was seen to be in flames, which rose high above the stack, and I expected every second that the boiler would explode. There seemed to be no officers or deck hands aliout to give orders, assist wiih the boats or any thing. Hundreds were jump ing in the water, and my wife, in a sudden frenzy, did the same. Then I followed, of course, and an olhcer, toe only one we saw, pushed a raft to us and we got on. The names burst out on the vessel within a foot of us, and we were both scorched. Five or six others got on the raft, and while we were floating about we picked up about a score of others. A great number went down, to my certain knowledge. We drifted about on a raft for an hour and a half.". Herbert Bright, of Boston, gives his ex perience: " As soon as the collision occurred I rushed up to the cabin. In a few minutes the tire broke out. Two men were standing at the time near the door of their stateroom. As the flames kept increasing and it seemed as if we would all be burnt to death, one of the men said to the other, 'I don't intend to be burned to death,' and tak ing a pistol from his pocket shot himself in the forehead. The other had a pistol also, but he waited a minute as if debating what to do. The terrible scene seemed to make him desperate, and in a moment he followed the example of his comrade. I didn't stop to look at the men, as I was occupied in tak ing can; of myself. I then went on the hur ricane deck, where, in company with six or seven men, I tried to lower one of the life-boats. We (lid this in such a hurry that the boat tilled with water and when we jumped in it capsized. Three of the men, I think, were drowned. The rest of the party, among whom were two or tlu-ee women, succeeded in climbing back on to the steamer by means of ropes on which the boat was suspended. One of the women had a child in her arms and both were saved. About fifteen feet from the boat when she capsized was a little girl, twelve years of age, holding in her arms a baby. She was floating supported by a life preserver. We then went to the hurricane ric k and lowered another boat. We drifted in this for about twenty minutes, paddling with our hands, until we met another life boat, from which we got two oars. After rowing around for half an hour, and picking tip as inanv as we could, we rowed to the City of New York." Dr. Kitlredge, of Fishkill Landing, one of the survivors of the Narrajr.nsett, states that he stayed on board of the steamer hile the lire was progressing till it got so hot he had to jump overboard, and during thtt time he did not see a single officer of the boat nor hear an order given, and the life-boats were not lowered until the (lames had made great progress. He and his son were picked up by a boat from the City of New York. LATE J.EWS ITEMS. A letter from Samuel J. Tilden, ad dressed to the delegates from New York State to the National Couveutiom was published on the 21st. In it 5Ir.

The Cincinnati Ewuirer of the 19th printed an extract from a personal letter to ts editor from Horatio Seymour, in which the writer says: " I can not accept the nom nation if it is made under any circu mstances.

I rely upon you to set me right with the delegates." The trial of Currie, the murderer of Porter, the actor, at 5IarshaII, Texas, was concluded on the liith.

TnE Dublin correspondent of the London Diiily Xeies telegraph-: There is no longer any doubt that the famine fever has appeared in some parts of the Wet and South of Ireland. A letter read iu the Mansion-house Relief Committee from Charles town, 5Iayo County, says famine feverof the most dangerous type is very prevalent and is making much progress. It has also ap peared in Sweuford, 5Iayo County, and Glengariff, Cork County. " The First National Bant of Brattle boro, Yu, offers -?B,O0O reward for the ar rest of President Wait. Later develop ments confirm previous reports of the utter failure of the bank, and, possibly, future developments may add to, rather than de crease, the liabilities, which are now placed at about H'0,000. The Irish members of Parliament have resolved to ask the English Govern ment to double their proposed gTant for the relief t Irish distress, and that $300,000 be voted for tbe construction of fishery piers. Obstructive measures are threatened unless the Government complies with there quest. SOUTHERN GLEANINGS. Mr. J. Y. Alexander, of Big Sandy, Tex., is a Texas and Pacific foreman and father of a boy fourteen months old. Mrs. Alexander's curiosity became aroused the other day to learn why the baby wanted to lie on the floor so much lately. The child always crawled behind the door of one of Ihe rooms and would remain quietly there for hours. When Mrs. Alexander discov ered this the idea struck her that there must be a cause. On looking she was horrified to discover a full-grown blaeksnake in tha corner. A large hole iu the floor led from the room to underneath the house. The child was patting the snake on the head and dividing its bread with it, and the reptile showed its regard for the baby by wagging its tail. It is understood that immediately upon the completion of the Louisiana Western Koad a grand through New York, New Or leans and Texas line will be established, composed of the following roads: Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana Western, New Or leans and Texas, New Orleans and 5Iobile, 5Iobile and 5Iontgomery, Western of Ala bama, Atlanta and West Point, Piedmont Air Line, from Atlanta to Richmond; Rich mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac, Phila delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, and Pennsylvania. The roads are now prepared to adopt a fast schedule between New York and New Orleans of tiftv-one hours, and it U ovnneted th.it hnf..ro fall o thnumh inin of sleepers and parlor cars will run from New York to Houston in sixty-six hours. Dr. r. H. 5IcGraw, who for more than fi.'iy years carried on the leading drug house of Natchez, Miss., in which he amassed a colossal fortune, died a few days since In New Orleans, whither he had gone for med ical treatment- He was a native of Ireland, and was largely interested in the Railroad ; Cotton 5Iills and various, industries of the city, besides being a large real estate owner. J. 51. White, a highly respected citizen, ; who resides on Pink's Creek, Lewis County i Va., was riding along the road in his buggy, ; with his daughter, during a severe storm, when a limb of a tree blew on him, killing him instantly and also breaking his daugh ter's arm and holding her in a perilous posi tion for some time till assistance came. The horse never moved, which was all that saved the young lady's life. At San Antonio the other day, Gerani" mo Grenada, a 5rexiean bov of fifteen, be- came enamored of a girl" of thirteen, and " ... "'" sought her hand in marriage. IleT parents objected both on account of the age of the ..j " , .u. jiiu 1 ii.a iuii 1 11 1. 1 j 1 ,111 iiiii-i.iiivtn vi uiu Grenadas. The lover grew desperate, and lying down on his bed, he placed the muz zle of a gun near his heart, and exploded I the weapon with his left foot. The ball went through the heart, producing instant death. He left a note assigning the cause to be dis appointment. .lack Coke, son of the Senator from Tex as, died recently at Waco of cerebro spinal meningetis. He was twenty-two years ot age, a law student of brilliant promise. Col. Girard Smith, ex-5Iayor of New Orleans, and for a third of a century con nected with the Pica'iun", is dead. A rumor, originating in Chicago, to the effect that the consolidation of the Slissouri Pacific with the 5Iissouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Company would lead to a combination of those corporations with the Texas and Pacific, is denied by the Secretary of the last-named corporation in Philadelphia. Other officials of the Texas and Pacific state that such a proposi tion has not been presented to them, and that no such coalition as that mentioned has been contemplated by the Board of Direc tors. The Board of Aldermen of Natchez have an ordinance imposing a license tax of 3.50 per week on drummers. If they visit the city frequently they can pay an annual tax of $20. Traveling men claim that the ordi. nance is illegal. A similar law in Louisiana has Just been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the State. The Grand Jury found a true bill against R. L. Jennings, editor of the Marshall (Tex.) ATcisenijer, for the killing of Hon. W. S. Colman. Jennings was brought before Judge Booth on a writ of habeas corpus and admitted to $2,000 bail. Gen. D. P. Cpham, U. S. jrarshal Western District of Arkansas, and Col. A. S. Oliver, Superintendent of the Government building at. Little Rock, have been removed. Yalentine Dell succeeds Gen. Upham, and a gentleman named Mctuirk takes the place vacated by Col. Oliver. A correspondent of the St. Louis (rJohf-Demorrnt complains that the removals were made on account of the la'e incumbents being active Grant men, while tho new appointees are adherents of 5Ir. Sherman. A desperado named Richard Bell, from Live Oak County, went to Fort Grillin, Tex., the other day, and attempted to clean out tbe town. Riding through the streets he shot at Charles HarriHon, a negro teamster, and also at a colored soldier of the 10th United States Cavalry. Constable Birdwell, with a posse, armed with pistols and shot guns, pursued Bell, who made a running tight. Tbe attacking party fired a shot which eut the desperado's shot-belt and killed his horse. Bell finally surrendered, after receiving the contents of a shot-gun and seven wounds, which are not dangerous. Bell is reported to be the murderer of a dozen men. G. R. Henry, who was arrested and Jailed at Decatur, Tex., recently, on the charee of bigamy, has been identified by a gentleman from Montague Connty as the leader of a party who murdered and robbed a 5Ir. Stratton, of Pilot Point, fifteen years ago, in Boston Mountains, Ark. A young man named E. P. Clay, book keeper forM. L. 5Ieachra A. Co., Memphis, forged the firm name to a check for $1,8113, got it cashed at the German National Batik, and absconded. Clay was from New York and was considered a most exemplary young gentleman. The North Carolina Democrats have re nominated Governor Jarvis and the balance of the incumbent State orticers with the ex ception of Auditor, for which (Jen. W. P. Roberts was given the preference. Witf.n the rustic youth says Dr. Andrew Wilson loitering along some lane, comes to a standstill to contem plate with awe and wonder the spec tacle of amass of the familiar "h'air eeLs'' or . " hair-worms," wriggling about in a pool he plods on his way fully convinced that ne has ' just wit nessed the results of the transformation of some horse's hairs into living creat ures. And the theory of such transfor mation is often accepted by persons of considerable culture. The .Jiair-worms certainly present ti e appearance of long, delicate blak hairs, whWh ruove' about with great rapidity amid the loud of pools and ditches. These worms, in the early stages of their existence, in habit the bodies of insects, and may be found coiled up within the grasshopper, which thus gives shelter to a guest ex ceeding many times the length of tho body of its host. Sooner or, later the hair-worm, or Gordius, leaves the body of the insect, ' and lays its eggs in water. From each egg a little creature armed with minute hooks is produced, and this young hair-worm burrows into the body of some insect there to re peat the history of its parent. Such is the authentic life of the hair-worm. A Utah wedding paragraph says "the bride was togged out in white gauze." VETO Washint.to:. June 15.

It must be conceded to be a most iaipoitant fiower and of a fntidiimeittal character. In the iht of recent history and 1 f the violence, fraud, conupt o 1 a: d irregularity which have frequently p:e idled at such elections, n may easily be conceived that theexeition of power, if it exists, may lie necessary to the stability of our form of government. "The greatest difficulty in coming to a just conclusion arises from mistaken notions with regard to the relations which subsist between the State and N ational G ivernments. It seems to lie often overlooked that a National Consti ttiti m has been adopted in this country, es tablishing a real Government therein, ai d which, moreover, is, or should he, as dear to every American lit izen as his State Govent tnent is. Whenever thetnieconception of the nature of this Government is once conceded, no real difficulty will arise in the just n;er pretation of its power. Itut if we allow our selves to regard it as a hostile organization o posi d tothe proper sovereignty uiidlig!iity of the State Governments we shall continue tube vexed with difficulties tistojurisilictinn audau thority. No j renter jealousy is requited to lie exercisi d toward this Government in refereuce to the preservation of our liberties than is pioper to be exercised towards the S.ntc o eniments.

Must they rely on him to use requisite compulsion and to keep the peace while they are soliciting and entreating the t'r" oystanuers 10 allow the law to : take its course? This is the. necessary cnne- i quence of the position assumed. If we indulge in such impracticable views as these, and ke- p on refining and ren tin'ng, we shafi drive the National Government out of the United states nnd relegate it to the District ol Columbia , or perhars to some foreiint soli. W shall brir.(f it back to a condition of trreater helplessness than that of the old Confedera tluu. The argument is based on the strained and impracticable view of the nature and power of the National Government. It must execute its powers, or it is no (lovernmcnt. It must execute on land as well as on tho sea. on th'nirs as wi 11 as persons. and to dothis it must 1 necessarily have tne power to command iwe- dience, preserve order, ami Keep inc i'n, and no peon or pow er in this land hus tho riv'tit to resist ornu-stion its authority so imitr a it keeps within the bounds of its juiisdicr tion."

Th:s discriinlnat ion aai'ist tho aid hor ityot the I'nited States is departure from theusaifeof the tiovei nun lit 1 st;iblihed by precedents boinnnimr with th" earliest stat utes 011 the subject, and violates the true principles of the Cons' itiition. The Supreme Con it 1:1 the decision already referred to says: "It is arirucd that the pres ervation of peace and )riod order in society is not within Ihe powers contid d to the t'ov trnment of til" I'nited states, but helonjrs ex clusively to the States. Here again we are met with thetheory that tlio Government of the I'nited States does not rest upon the soil and territory of the count ly. We , think that this theory is founded on an 1 entiro misc inception of thr nature and 1 powers of that uo eminent. Wo hold it to : be an incontrovertible principle that the Gove; nnient of the C'litisl Slates may by ' means i.f physical fori exercised thron-rh j its otlicuil lofents execute 011 every foot of American soil the powers 1 nnd i'.ibc ions that ' belomr to it. This uece-sarily involv s the ! Kiwer to comnian I eSedc'iice ro its laws, and hence the p i;r 10 k ei t he peace to that ex- 1 tent. This power to ei fo c Ms laws mid exe cute its functions in all places docs not deni- irate from the power of the State to ex"i uto j the laws at tho same time and in the same 1 place. The one docs not exclude the other, I except where both cannot be executed at the 1 same time. In that case the words of the Con- I stitutioti itself snow which is to yield: 'This j Constitution and alt laws which sball be nvd't I in pursuance thereof shall be the supreme law of the land.'

The Same Old Game. The other afternoon the tools, imple ments, tixtiires.appurtenances aud what ever else belongs to the' game of cro quet, were put in position on a lawn up Woodward Avenue, and as a young lady and a young man who seemed to be her lover, took up the mallets to start the balls, a bony-looking old tramp halted and leaned on the fence and got his mouth puckered up for something good. The young man took tho lirst shot, and, before the ball ceased rolling, the girl's voice was heard calling: "You didn't knock fair you've got to try it over!" Pefore either of them were half way down she had occasion to remind him that he wasn't playing with a blind per son, and that she could overlook no cheating. As she went under the last arch he felt compelled to remark that her playing would rule her out of any club he ever heard of. On tho way back she asked him why he couldn't be an honest man as well as a jockey and a falsifier, and he inquired why she didn't write a set of rules to tally with her style of playing. " It's coming 'tain't five minutes off!" chuckled tlie tramp, as he took a new grip tm the fence and shaded his eyes with his hat. " Don't you knock that ball away!" shouted the girl, a minute after. "Yes, I will!" " Dou't you dare to." " I'm playing according to the rules." " No, you aren't! You've cheated all the way through!" " I never cheated" once!" " And now you are adding the crime of perjury! Sir, I dare not intrust my future happiness to such a man! I could never trust or believe in you!" " Nor I in you!" " Then lot us part forever!" she said as she hurled her mallet at a stone dog. "So we will!" he hissed as he Hung his at her sleeping poodle. She bowed and started for the house to pack up his letters. He raised his hat and made for an approaching street car to get down town iu time for the Toledo train. "That's all I wanted to know," sighed the tramp as he turned away.
