LOCKE & BROTHER,
PROPRIETORS.
Tltti, fhindty Ktc. Feb. X, 18 S.
Bayard, of Delaware, one of the
ablest of the Democratic Senators, baa
made a strong anti-llvr speech.
If Congress is going to pw the sil

twaddle of its advocates, either men
or newspapers, is getting exceedingly
tiresome.
Tbe father of Chur ley Rons went te

Tbe discussion and agitation of the
silver question iu Congress has done
more to damage tbe business interests
of the country than even the Demo
cratic bowl for inflation. Business
men of all classes are worried, and
capital that two mouths ago was
seeking investment in bnsiness direct
tions bas been withdrawn. All this
migtii nave oeen ooviatea naa aepuv
licans in congress presented an
bonest, manly front to tbe scoundrels
who were attempting to debase tne
money of tbe country.
A Gazette special of February
ays that a conference which was held
la Washington cf those Republicans
wbo were at New Orleans during tbe
electoral count resulted in tbe de.
termination to make known over
their names at the proper time
statement that In their Judgment,
and from all knowledge that came to
them during tbelr cessions and con
sultations In New Orleans, tbe
pending prosecutions of members of
the Returning Board are unjust and
ouirareous. They insist that no
each acts as are charged against
Die Board were committed; that
they bad very full knowledge of
what was done ; that In fact
. Democrats as well as Republic
ans were witnesses of all action tar
en with tbe returns, and that the
only possible Interpretation of
tbe present course toward tbe
Returning Board is that It
shews a determination to con
duct a series of prosecutions sole
ly for political effect It is contem
plated, at tbe proper time, to publish
a complete statement of all that
tbe Republican visitors observed of
tbe proceedings of tbe Returning
Board, with a view of showing tbe
country that these prosecutions are
wholly nnjust, and that political mal
ice underlies tbe whole proceeding.

A statement prepared from official
sources, shows that of ail Governor

only two, Adjutant-General Mielly

dubious. Every Republican eubordi

tal had a good record as a soldier.
These have been superseded by a mix
ed lot of Democrats, one of whom
served a term in tbe penitentiary,
two or three bad clouded records as
soldiers, and two were Union soldiers
of good army record ; and it is over
this state of things that tbe Demo
cratic claim of having appointed sol

THE METROPOLIS LOST.
Wrecked on Currituck Beach.
NORFOLK, Va., January 31.
For the last twenty-four hours a
strong south-east gale has been blow
ing, with thick, rainy weather.
A tout G:-';o o'clock this afternoon the
signal operator at Currituck reported
the steamer MttroprAis, of New York,
from Philad!pbia to Para, Brazil,
ashore, with two hundred and forty
seven souls on board. Fifty had been
washed ashore on parts of tbe wreck,
wbich was fast breaking up, as tbe
vessel bad bilged and was lying broad
side to tbe sea, with the surf makiDg
a complete breach over her, sweeping
tbe people from the decks into the
seething foam. Orders from the orH
cers could not be beard, consequently
great confusion prevailed. A colored
man named Biddle, or Riddle, one of
the survivors of the wreck, states tbat
all last nieht and to-day tbe gaie was
fearful. The vessel, when she struck,
was beaded S. 8. E , with the wind
about 8. E. Tbe signal operators on
the coast have orders to get all tbey
can of an authentic character from
tbe scene of tbe wreck, and in order
to facilitate Information an operator
from tbe station near Currituck bas
been sent to tbe scene. The tug Croa
tian, Captain Pickup, left here at 11
o'clock to-night with assistance, by
the way of tbe Albemarle and Chesa
peake Canal.
The chief officer of the Metropolis
was among the saved and sent tbe
message to the signal operator at Kit
ty Hawk. The captain has not teen
seen or heard of since the vessel
strock.
When tbe vessel struck, owing to
tbe fury of tbe gale and the rot ring of
tbe surr tbe orders or tne omcers couiu
not be beard. About fifty or tbe pas
sengers and crew were washed ashore.
About two hundred are believed to be
lost From some of tbe sailors, who
arrived at one of tbe signal stations it
appears that tbe vessel had encount
ered heavy galea from tbe southeast
for tbe last twenty-four bours, and
when she struck she was beading
about south-east. Tbe vessel swung
broadside to tbe surf, which made a
complete break over her and washed
many of the people overboard into
tbe sea. Reporters have gone to tbe
scene, via the Albemarle and Cbesa
peka Canal, by tbe tug Croatian.
Tbe loes of tbe Metropolis last night
off tbe wreck-strewn North Carolina
coast makes tbe following account of
tbe purpose or her errand or interest :
On Thursday, tbe 6tb of November,
tbe news was cabled from London of
tbe conclusion of a contract between
Messrs. P. & T. Collins, of this city,
and the National Bolivia Navlgalton
Company for tbe construction of a
railroad of one hundred and eighty
miles In length, around the rapids of
tbe Madena river to a point on tne
Mamore river, by which navigation
will be opened into tbe heart of
Bolivia. The Madeira river has its
source in the immense watershed of
Bolivia, east of the Andes, leaves
Bolivia at tbe northeastern point and
runs across the table-lands of Brazil to
the Amazon, wbich it joins near
Barra, about seven hundred miles
from the Atlantic. Tbe Madeira is
navigable for steamers as far up s
Bairamo, but just above tbat town is
tbe Cataract de Inferno and a series
of fails which render the river useless
for one hundred and eighty miles.
Tbe Mamore river is tbe chief branch
of the Madeira and joins tbe latter
above tbe falls, on tbe borders of
Bolivia. On tbe Mamore are tbe
Bananeira Falls. The railroad is to
be run from tbe Bananeira Falls to
tbe head of navigation on the
Madeira, a distance about twice as
great as tbat from this city to New
York.
Tbe Importance of spanning the
Madeira rapids was recognized years
ago, and tbe Bolivian Government in
order to encourage such an enterprise,
decreed tbe opening of tbe rivers of
tbe State to all vessels, in is tue
government sent to tbe United States
for an engineer to devise means of
getting around the rspids, either by
canal or railway. The services of
Colonel George Earle Church, of New
York, were secured ana ne soon ue-
cided tbat tbe railroad scheme was
more feasible. To accomplish its con
struction he first secured from the
Brazilian Government a grant of
1,300,000 acres of land and an issue of
debenture bonds of $2,400,000, all of
wbich were placed In London and tbe
money for tbe construction or tne roaa
secured.
On the 2d of January the Mercedita,
the first steamship of the line estab
lished by the Messrs. Collins to carry
tbe laborers and supplies for tbe rail-
read in Bolivia, sailed with over two
bnnared passengers, or wbom the ma
jority were engineers and mechanics,
and eight nundrea tons or cargo, raus,
machinery, engines, etc. It was ex
pected that in sixteen days she would
reach rara, on tne iwer Amazon,
but instead she put in the Barbadoes,
after being about twelve days out,
Bhortofcoal. The second vessel of
tbe Hup, tbe Metropolis, sailed on
Monday last
THE DEPARTURE FROM THIS PORT.
long wharf of tbe Reading Railroad at
Willow street at the end of which the
departing steamer lay, was crowded
th thousands or people, ine ma
jority of them were Irish men, wo
men and children assemoiea to give
a long and sad and, what to many
baa proven, a last gooa-Dye to tne
fathers, brothers aid friends wbo
were expected to bury themselves in
tbe forests of tbt upper Amazon and
not to find an ending in the waters
off tbe Ill-fated coast of North Caro
lina. As tbe passengers, nearly all
of whom were laborers, embarked, tbe
incidents were, even at time, exceed
ingly pathetic, but in tbe light of
yesterday's terrible calamity, as re
called by tbe by-etanders, they have
a significance woefully sad. One
flne-iooking woman, tbe wife of one
of the foremen, after a dozen passion
ate farewells finally clung to her bus
band with such intense sorrow tbat
the latter was compelled to remain
ontbewbarf, and to-day thanks bis
stars tbat bis wife kept bim at borne.
A stalwart Irishman clasped to his
heart a fine manly boy a mother
less boy of seven years, and begged,
with tears in his eyes, for permission
to take bim along. "You won't part
us 7" the fatber entreated. "It is im
possible for you to take tbe boy," said
Mr. Collins. "Then I can't go; I
won't go," said the fatber. Tbe little
fellow knew of the stern want that
was driving his fatber away;to;a dis
tant land to earn tbe bread so bard to
win here, and the future man welled
up in him as be said, in spite of the
sorrow or parting : "Pap, go, and I'll
stay with Uncle Jim he'll take care
of me," and the father, now by far
the weaker of tbe two, sailed away,
aud even now may be lying upon tbe
North Carolina sands. There were
on tbe warf and on tbe steamer em
bracings and kissinr, and tears and
cries of sorrow until tbe steamer cast
off her moorings and started on her
way to tbe sea and to destruction, and
such a pressure at tbe gangway tbat
several of tbe passengers were left be
hind and personators taken away in
their places.
The cargo consisted of 500 tons of
iron rails, which would lay between
seven and eight miles of railroad, and
200 tons of stores and 250 tons of coal,
to feed, clothe and warm tbe work
Ingmen for ninety days.
The Metropolis was a double-masted
steamship or over 800 tons burthen,
finely formed and sailing gracefully
in the water. Tbe vessel was built
at Newburyport, Massachusetts. Her
engines were small and her speed in
consequence moderate. Under tne
name of tbe Stars and Stripes she had
been used in tbe Cuban trade, sailing
between New York and Havana, and
durinz the war she performed tbe
dutvof suddIv ship to blockading
sauadrons in the gulf and on tbe
South Atlautic coast She had been
recently enlarged, and her title of Tbe
Stars and Strips having brought ber
into frequent misfortunes ber name
was changed to tbat of tbe Metropolis.
To make sure that sbe was staunch
and seaworthy, Mr. Thomas Collins,
before the completion of tbe contract
of charter, visited ber in New York
and after a most thorough inspection
became satisfied tbat she was all that
tbe heart of seaman could desire. Sbe
was provided with extra boats, suffi
cient to carry 225 men ashore. Sbe
was full-manned in New York, and
tbe crew aboard her there are tbe
same that sailed from this port
FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM THE
WRECK.
Norfolk, February 1. The loss of
life is estimated at one hundred and
fifty. Occasionally a survivor reports
and decreases the number. Tbe
beach for several miles on each side
of the wreck is strewn with bodies.
It seems tbat tbe people on board the
Metropolis seeing no prospect of help
from tbe shore, gave up ail hope and
after the word was given to "save
yourself," consternation prevailed
over which no mortal power had con
trol. Washington, Feb. 1. The sig
nal service station at the wreck of the
steamer Metropolis reports as follows :
At 5 o'clock this morning the total
number of passengers were two bun-
tired and sixty, of vrhom about one
huudred aud sixty were drowned, the j
remainder are reported saved. Tbe ;
steamer is wrn;, tunc -, j
nothing left of her above water. There :
are no bodies aboard tbe steamer.
The wreck was caused by the vessel j
being uuseawortby. Hhe sprang a
leak about mldbipLt, and stranded on
tbe morning of January 01t, at 7
o'clock A. M. Tne ouiy way of sav- -ing
life was uy lonnibt; ashore, as tbe
vessel wa in a oiiiki&K condition, i
This is tbe statement of Itu McOaii-
Un, one of tbe saved. ;
The state of affairs this morning is j
terrible. Dead bodies are lying along ;
tbe beach for a distance of two miles, j
are all being placed in position
back from the beech. The living are I
being cared for. Tbe two saloon wo-j
men are known to be dead with their
husbands. E:?Lt cut of fourteen j
are known 1 i be dead, j
The men saved are destitute of
clothing. Will send list of namfs as
soon as they can be gathered. Trav
elers along the beach are picking up
tbe living snd the dead. The latter
constitute about one-third of all re
covered. !
LESS THAN ON HUNDRED UNACCOUNTED
FOR.
Norfolk, Feb. 2. Captain Ankers
of tbe M'Jrorst'n telegraphed
to
Mayor Victer, of this city, that the
survivors in all one hundred and
fifty will leave Coin Jack to-morrow
for this city. This makes about one
hundred unaccounted for, including
bodies wbicb have washed ashore and
been interred by the neighbors.
METROPOLIS DISASTER.
Statement from Officers of Life-Saving
Stations.
Washington, Feb. 3. The Gen
eral Superintendent of tbe Life-saving
Service bas received telegrams from
keepers of life-saving stations Nos. 4
and 5, ou the coast of North Carolina,
in reply to tbe demand for informa
tion made by bim, from wbich it ap
pers that tbe crews of both stations
are about thirteen and a half miles
apart and the wreck, unfortunately,
occurred half-way between them, and
just at an hour when the patrolmen
bai come In from tbeir severe night
march upon tbe beach.
Tbe maximum velocity of the wind
that morning at Capn Henry, about
four stations above, is given by tbe
signal office at sixty miles an hour.
When it is considered that the light
est life-saving apparatus weighs from
1,200 to 1,500 pounds, and that it bas
to be dragged by a crew of six or seven
men for several miles through yield
ing saad, and in a gale of such vio
lence that tbe men could scarcely
stand against it it is easily under
stood wby tbis wreck was not reached
earlier.
Tbe loss upon tbis occasion is sim
ply referable to the fact tbat tbe sta
tions are too far apart
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE WRECK.
Specials from
Norfolk give full details of tbe wreck
of tbe Metropolis. One correspondent
says : Tbe story of the wreck is one
of horror; it speaks with no uncertain
words, and will cause a just and
righteous indignation against those
who put at tbe mercy of tbe ocean
waves two bundred and nity lives, in
a vessel tbat was In every respect un
seaworthy ; tbat was as rotten as
punk, and tbat could well ba likened
to a death-trap. Tbe owners, con
tractors and United States inspectors
are responsible, and tbey should be
beld In strict account
GRAVES OF THE VICTIMS.
Tbe route over tbe beach was thick
ly studded with newly made graves
of tbe victims. They were marked
with rude boards, and in some in
stances five and six were buried in a
grave.
In tbe Immediate vicinity of tbe
scene was tbe true realization of tbe
terrible word "wreck,'' and to the
shame of humanity and civilization,
THERE WAS VANDALISM,
The evidences of which were bard to
believe. It was gboulism almost in
credible, committed mostly by negro
residents of tbe beach, and close by
aided by a number of whites. Tbey
took all the valuables and even tbe
clothing from the dead bodies tbat
bad washed ashore. Tbe sacred per
son of a female was not a bar to tbe
WORST SORT OF BARBARISM.
There was a very large South
American mail on board. It is under
stood tbat the registered letters re
ceipted for by tbe purser contained
about $150,000 In money, drafts, &c.
Tbe assistant postmaster at Norfolk
went to tbe scene of tbe wreck to
look after tbe interests of bis depart
ment, and found of eleven bags con
taining mail matter on board that ten
were washed ashore, but be only suc
ceeded in recovering two one intact,
and tbe other was being used as a
tobacco-bag by one of the survivors.
Tbe contents were missing of tbe let
ters, and nothing could b9 found of
tbe other letters or tneir contents.
Parties on tbe beach say the bags were
cut open and rifled of their contents.
Tbe letters, after being opened, were
strewn along the beach.

[Chicago Journal.] THE " DADDIES"' DOLLARS.
The Great Inconvenience of Silver
Change.
The silver coinage of oar daddies
wbicb, by the way, the daddies voted
a nuisance weighed 4121 grains, and
is a nice coin to carry in one's pocket
if only one be carried.
Two of tnese co'ns melted will make

our daddies, must carry home iu

be a calamity, necessitating the assis

ceiver to carry home the money-burden
of nearly six pounds avoirdupois.
Tbe sale of a bouse or lot for 1,000,

nearly sixty pounds of metal in the
bargain.

amount to $10,000 or $12,000 each, and
if silver were in universal circulation
every evening might witness the
overburdened casbier of each of these
firms wending his way to tbe banks to
make a deposit of bis 000-pound pack
load of money, wbicb would make a
cubic foot of silver since $9,S03 in sil
ver dollars would make a cubic foot of
coin in a box, and $12,4S1.76 a cubic
foot of silver in a solid lump, tbe first
weighing some 500 pounds and the
latter some 700 pounds avoirdupois.
Tbe sales of a noted Chicago firm
lately netted $150,0u0 in one day. To
carry this amount in silver to tbe
banks would require a train of pack
mules or freight wagons, the entire
weight of tbe money equaling over
8,000 ponnds avoirdupois, and requir
ing over 100 cubic feet of vault roam
after it got to tne bank.
Imagine all tbe firms and banks of
Chicago, New York, and other cities
of tbe Union doing business witb sil
ver dollars. Wouldn't it be the great
est nuisances of the age, just as tbe
silver enthusiasts are now the great
est nuisance of the day ?
In figuring weights in connection
with tbe proposed silver dollar, tbe
fallowing table, though discarding
minor fractions, will be found suffi
ciently accurate in general results :
8ilver Dollar Table of Weiehts
One dollar makes 412.5 grains Troy ;
$18.16, I pound avoirdupois; $100
make 51 paunds avoirdupois ; $o00
make 271 pounds avoirdupois; $l,o00
make 55 "pounds avoirdupois ; $10,000
make 550 pounds avoirdupois ; $36,000
make 2 000 pounds or l ton avoirdu

avoirdupois. '
'Gentlemen of the jury," said a
Worcester lawyer in tbe court-house
last week, "at tbe moment the police
man says be saw us in rront or toe
bouse wbicb was burglariously enter
ed, I will prove that we were locked
up drunk In tbe station-bouse."
"Pay the bill !" said a gentleman
wbo is well known to collectors as
tbe prince or procastlnators. "I
should be bappy to do so ; but tbis
damp weather has caused my money
drawer to swell, and I cannot get at
my funds. Come the first dry day."

THE SNOW STORM.
Railway Travel Impeded In all Parts
of the Country.
At rockaway the long low beach
was swept by the wind and waves,
atd several summer resorts carried to
the sea, while others were much in
They ju-ed.
Awash-out on tbe Long Branch
division of the New Jersey Central
road precipitated a train from tbe
track, and the engineer, Jno. Bate
foremen man, was killed, and a fireman in-
Nf.u' York, Ftb. 1. Tte snow
storm continued with unabated vior
through the night tut moderated tbis
mornine. Travel, however, U diffi
cult, and cars muoli delayed. Tbe
St. Louis exrrees, over the New York
Central road, is reported from Pougn-
ktensie eisht hoars behind time.
Mured
Alone the New England coast tbe
storm was very severe, but no marine
disasters are yet reported.
Boston reports tbat tbe severe
northeast snow etorm wbich began at
4 P. M. yesterday continued up to
noon to-day, and over two feet of snow
bas fallen. Owing to tbe high wind,
drifts from six to ten feet high in tbe
streets have almost suspended travel.
Horse cars nave stoppeu, ana an rail
road trains are boura behind time.
The storm prevails with severity
throughout New Hampshire and
Maine, wbere immense drifts block
the railroads and highways.
Three or four passenger trains on
the Boston A Albauy Railroad stuck
in drifts at Washington. Some are
fourteen hours behind time due at
Pittsfield. The morning train on tbe
Housatonic road could not reach Pitts
field, owing to huge drifts. Bofialo
telegraphs tbat all stock trains going
East have been abandoned.
Boston, Feb. 1. The enow storm
which began here yesterday evening
is the severest since 1S07, - and has
caused almost entire suspension of
business. Trains on tbe railroads are
greatly delayed. About eighteen
inches bas fallen, and it is still snow
ing. Tbe blockade on tbe Eastern
road at Hevere is caused by a train
being thrown from tbe track in at
tempting to force a way through a
huge drift. Tbe train consisted of two
engines, five cars, and - a heavy
snow plow in front. At Floyd's
bridge, in Revere, drift was struck
which threw tbe plow into tbe air.
The forward engine dashed under It
tearing off the smokestack and cab,
and throwing it from tbe track. The
second engine and every car were also
thrown off. William Meade, of the
forward engine, bad his bead cut open
leg broke, and ribs crushed in fatally
injured. Brakeman Larrabee was
dangerously injured, and Conductor
Converse received a severe cut on tbe
bead. Tbe track was torn up forquite
a distance. Tbere were 100 passen
gers on the train, but none were ia
jured. One engine ilea on one tide or
the track, and tbe other with tne cars
on tbe other side.
TERRIBLE STORM.
New York, Feb. 1. The storm has
been fearful, and dispatches report
damage all along the Atlantic coast.
At Coney Island there has been great
destruction of property, and eight
lives lost. The scene of tbe greit ca
lamity, was at Manhattan Beach
property, on the east side of tbe
island, wbere it struck with thegreat
est violence, fairly sweeping every
thing before it. About - half a mile
eastward from tbe big hotel were two
shanties, where two men samed
Wynne and Brennan lived with tbelr
families. Shortly after 10 o'clock tbe
men, who were employed as watch
men by tbe hotel company, left tbelr
homes for tbe purpose of report! og
tbe alarming state of affairs to Mr.
Weed, head watchman, and during
tbeir absence tbe shanties in wbicb
tbey left tbeir- families were swept
away, and tbe unfortunate occupants,
numbering three women and five
children, perished. When Wynne and
Brennan returned tbere was nothing
left of tbeir domiciles, and no trace of
tbeir loved ones. The victims were
Mrs. Wynne and her three children,
aged five and three, and an infant but
a day old ; Mrs. Brennan and two
children, aged two and four years
respectively. The third woman wbo
perished was a nurse wbom Mr.
Wynne had brought down only a few
days ago from Brooklyn to attend bis
wire during her confinement.
Tbere were three tidal waves which
followed in quick succession, and not
a vestige of tbe shanties was left.
Tbo bodies of the unfortunates were
carried to sea with tbe exception of
that of Mrs. Wynne, wbicb was pick
ed np at tibeepsbead Bay tbis morn
ing. Tbe tide rose nearly five feet higher
than any previous recorded fiood. At
other parts of the island the damage
done bas been extensive. The fine
drive along tbe beach, known as tbe
Concourse, is completely undermined,
and unsafe for horses. There is wreck
and ruin all along the beach. Tbe
Manhattan Beach Hotel property suf
fered most severely. The beautiful
Japanese structure bas been swept
away, and the east end of tbe hotel
was damaged. Tbe engine room and
bathing bouses were swept out to sea.
Tbe stables and outhouses disip
peared, and over 2,000 feet of the new
railroad track in tbe rear ot tbe hotel
were destroyed. Tbe hotel is almost
isolated, the approaches beiug washed
away. Tbe damage to tbis property
is between $10,ouo and S15.000. All
the other structures along the whole
line of the beacb, not firmly secured,
were wrecked. Engema's new dock,
west ef Cable's Hotel, and theCamera
Obscura structures are gone. Only a
few sticks remain to indicate where
the "No Name Pavilion" stood. .
Tbe total loss to property is esti
mated at between $40,000 and S-'iO.OOO.
Later reports from betpjueaJ Bay
state that tbe bodies of Mrs. Brennan
and children have been found there.
THE DESTRUCTION AT 1.0NQ BRANCH.
Loxa Branch, N. J. Feb. 1 Al
most every building on tbe shore be
tween Bandy Hook and Ixng Branch
bas been more or less damaged,'-and
all tbe hotels and dwellings on ' the
beacb have tbeir grounds badly
washed. The bath bouses are . all
gone, and many beautiful summer
houses are either washed away by tbe
sea or blown to pieces by tbe - gale.
The bulkheads were all destroyed.
Tbe beach for miles was strewn with
debris from these wrecks. The New
Jersey Southern Railroad traek: bas
been covered with sand in - many
places, and damaged so that it will
take several days to repair it in order
that trains can run between Seabrigbt
and Sandy Hook. Tbe telegraph
wires have been down in all direc
tions. Tbe East End and Brighton
Hotels, tbe Mansion House and Mor
ris Cottage bad portions of tbeir roofs
carrid awsy by tbe wind, and In the
case of tbe Brighton Hotel ther rain
haa damaged the furniture badly.
Sixty bath-houses are washed away
from in front of tbe Ocean House. It
has been the most terrific storm ever
experienced here. The water' -was
never known to te so high, it
washed over tbe bluff Into 0;ean
avenue in many places. '
CHARLIE ROSS.
Demerara Waif at Baltimore Believed
to Be the Long Lost Boy.
Philadelphia, Pa., February 3.
It appears that tbe boy who was
brought to Baltimore about two weeks
ago, from Demerara, and was thought
to be tbe long lost Charlie Ross, bas
sufficient points of identity to consti
tute a noperui cine, xne boy -when
questioned says tbat his mother called
bim Charlie Ross. He recalls the
name of Boston, and says tbat be was
tasen from there in a snip to Dem
erara. It is known that Mosher and
Douglass were traced to Boston, and
tbat one of them took a long sea voy
age. Then, too, bis mouth,
nose and other features, even
to tbe vaccination marks and
tbe cowlick in his hair, are said to
correspond exactly with Charley's
characteristics. He eings a little
nursery bymn tbat was a favorite
with tbe lost boy. When questioned
with regard to tbe Demerara boy,
wbo Is now in tbe Home for Friend
less Children at Baltimore, Mr. 'Roes
said to-day : "When T returned
home, some two or three weeks since?
I heard that this boy was at Balti
more. I should have gone down at
once, but my wife was' very ill
at tbe time. A year ago- a
gentleman in Detroit wrote -me
of this child. I gave tbe clue
considerable attention. People think
I am indifferent about this matter,
but if tbey knew of tbe five hundred
cases I have, they could understand
wby I do not go oil at hall-cock. I
have a picture of the child," said he,
producing a small ferreotype, "but
none of us can see any likeness, in it
to our children. The little fellow from
South America sings a song wbicb
Charlie used toknow.so Mx. Worn rath
tells me. I expect a larger picture of
the child to-morrow, and I will not
bo to Baltimore before then. Indeed.
the persons having tbe boy in charge
wish me to put on my visit lor two
weeks, for the child is sunburned and
has been abused, and they wish to
have him looking better before I see
bim, but I am not willing to keep tbe
thing on tbe tender-hooks for that
length of time," '

In
A Woman Feigns Death In Order That
a Catholic Priest May Perform
a Catholic Priest May Perform a Miracle by Bringing Her
to Life Again.
Macch Chosk, Pa , February 1 -
Great excitement prevails here on a?-
count of a miracle which the Kev. W.
Heinan, a German Catholic I'rk-st of
this city, says be performed on the
person of Amelia Orelli, of Reading,
wbo cmm toer Dine week ago anU
told Heinan she was being c ',n-liutly
guarded by an anel, woo told her to
leave uoldb ao-j go 10 .naucu ,uuun .
and be would care for her. She has
been confined at tbe print's bouse for
eleven weeks, te;ng very ill. Yester-
day morning sbe was placed in bed
and propped up witn pillows and bad
the appearance of being on the brink
of tbe grave. For weeks she had not
spoken a word and had eaten noth
ing except a roat?d apple now and
then and drank a little milk once or
twice daily.
Tbe miracle was announced to
begin at 8:30 o'clock, at wbicb time
tbe woman sank into a stupor.
Fatber Heinan then said, "Her soul
bas .now left ber body, leaving
nothing but tbe animal life. Hhe is
not dead nor in a trance, but tbe soul
haa Ipft Mia l.rwftr I rtnnnt
where it is, but It soars at the will of
Him who gave it." While in this
condition the body was viewed by
over one thousand people.
Ata:;:othe priest commanded si
lence. He then called "Amelia !''
three times. At tbe third call tbe
woman sat np and said "Father."
Bbe then went up stairs, dressed her
self and went to church and attended
mass. Hhe now says sbe enjoys bet
ter health than ever. Eminent phy
sicians bad pronounced her case in
curable. S

Hours of Terrible Suspense.
New Yobk, February 5. The pas
sengers of the steamship Columhua,
arrived from Havana to-day, bad a
thrilling' experience in tbe recent
storm Hoc a was tbe violence of tbe
gale last Thursday morning that it
was found necessary to lie to, and
for fourteen hours the ship was at the
mercy of the waves. It was impos
sible to take bearings and tbe onicers
bad no idea where tbey were drifting.
A terrific wave, sweeping completely
over the steamer, stove in the officers'
cabin, wbich was on tbe main deck,
and deluged tbe passengers' saloon
and state-rooms witb water. Tbe
drenching was repeated every time
tbe deck was swept by tbe mountain
ous waves, and tbe passengers were
in tbe greatest discomfort and terror.
A number spent hours on tbeir knees
in prayer, believing tbat the ship was
going to the bottom, a fear in wbich
the officers almost shared at times.
At length tbe violence of the storm
abated, and tbe vessel resumed ber
course. - Early Friday morning, be
fore tbere arrival at this port, the pas
sengers gave an enthusiastic written
expression to tbeir appreciation of tbe
bravery aud coolness of tbe officers.

friends in curing Consumption, severe
Conglis,Cronp, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fart all tnroat aud lung diseases. No
person can n-e it without Immediate relief.
Three does will relieve any cae-, and we
consider it the duty of all liruggists to
reccomend it to the poor dying consump

en bottles were sold i:ist year, and no one
easewnereil failed was reorled. MiK h a
