Chicago Tri Lost on the Ocean. From the Chicago Herald. Rear Admiral George H. Preble, of the United States navy, in the current number of the United Service Magazine, gives some interest- Ing facts concerning the loss of life and prop- Sry in Atlantic passenger steamsnips. The | writer covers a period of torty years, trom 1838 to 1879. The whole number of vessels lost in these forty years was 144, or an average of be- tween three and four vessels a year. A resume ofthe most important wrecks, in which large Bambers of lives were lost. gives the City of | Glasgow, in 1854. with 450 lives; the Arctic, with 562 lives; the Pacific, Le Lyonnais and the Austria. with 200, 260 and 533 respectively; the Hungarian, of the Allan line, from Liver- pool to Boston, in 1860, with 205 lives; the Canadian, also of the Allan line, 1861, with 9 lives; the Anglo-Saxon, of the same line, in 1863, with 237 lives; the Cambria, of the Anchor Line, wrecked in 1870, losing 196 lives; the Seanderia, of the Moran Line, which disap- peed in 1872, with 45 souls; the Atlantic, of White Star Line, which was wrecked’ in "4873, and 546 lives lost: the Ville du Havre, in the same year. with 230 lives; the Schiller, the Eagle Line, wrecked in’ 1875, losing 200 lives; the Deutschland: of the North German | Lloyds, in 1875, with 157 lives, and the Pome- vania, of the Hamburg-American Packet Com- yy. In 1878, with fifty lives. Nineteen vessels the forty years have lost every soul on board. ‘These were the President. in 1841; Her Majesty, 4954; the Tempest, 1857; the Rechid. 1861: the Tnited Kingdom, 1869; the City of Boston, 1971 1872: the Mary Church, 1872: S72; the Charruca, 1872; the the Ismalia, 1873; the Anna, 1874; 1876; the Mesken 1877; i 1878; the Hermann Ludwig, 1878; the aoe. 1878, and the Zanzibar, 1879. : It is generally believed that the Cunard Line has never lost a ship nor the life of a passenger. This report shows that that line has lost two yessels—the Columbia, in 1843, and the Tripoli, {m 1872. In the first accident one life was lost; pone in the second. The Inman’s loss is given st 5 vessels: the Williams & Guion, 6; the Mon- |, (Allan Line) 7; the Anchor Line, 8; North German Lloyds, 4; Compagnie Generale Tran- gatlantique. a White Star, 1; Wilson, 1; Ham- Durg-American Packet Company, 1; Antwerp Line. 1; and State Line, 1. More than half the ‘vessels lost are said to have been wrecked close Twenty-four are reported miss- at sea; 8 were sunk by stress of weather. It is that the 24 reported missing were sunk by ice. i from | He | j and Mr. Ke SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT A VERY 08- SCURE COUNTRY. From the London Times. Mr. G. T.

Saratoga Sun. | A Provident Suitor and a Mormon Komance. From Lippineott's Magazine, | When the overland train reaches Ogden the agitation of the female mind about y ing Salt Ke City becomes evident. There are ways some ladies going there for the benefit of their health,and many more to gratify their curiosity, | for, strange as it may seem, the Mormon strong- hold is the great business, social and educa- tional center between Omaha and San Fran- cisco. The conductor told us that there were always ladies bound for Salt Lake, particularly during the winter, when the climate is salubrious; yet even ina large party the mem- bers of the fair sex felt a half-amused trepida- | dation in preparing to inspect a society so en- | tirely at variance with their prin@ples and | notions of propriet: What, then, was our surprise to meet on the i very day of our arrival a Philadelphia lady, a | niece of an eminent Presbyterian divine, who | had been residing in the eapital of Mormondom i for five Was a widow, whose exten- sive landed Interests lay in Idaho, and who had found fine educational advantages tor her chil- dren and a pleasant sucial circle for herself be- ng toe. i | reposeful and contemplative. | enthusiastic of the craft—even those who fancy STATESMEN—ANGLEUS, Noted Disciples of the Disyiple Who Said, “IGoa Fishing’? Mr. George Dawson, for many years editor of the Albany Evening Journal, is contributing to Forest and Stream a pieasant series of papers entitled “Winter Talks and Sammer Pastimes,” from the last number of which we take the fol- lowing extracts relating to several gentlemen well known to readers of Tue Star: General Arthur, now President of the United States, is a well known “brother of the angle.” He has all the best qualities of the most famous disciples of the gentle art. He is patient, cour- teous, companionable, enthusiastic and expert. He is, withal, an ardeat lover of all that is grand ‘and beautiful and picturesque in nature. As I have said of another I can say of him, in all that moves our sensibilities and kindliest sympathies he is as impressible as a child and as gentle as ® woman. In spite of the rough school in | which he has been a life-long pupil, his heart is “open as day to meltingcharity,” and his poetic stes enable him always and everywhere to see ermons in stone-, books in ruaning brooks, And good in everythi ig.” His love of the art is the outgrowth of his wsthetic susceptibilities, and this love will re- main with him long after tie dazzling glories ot office shall have lost their charm, because the bs ture are ‘aried and exhaustless n unificence and majesty of their benefi- cent author.

Long before his home friends sent him to Congress, or President Lincoln made him the custodian of the treasury chest of the nation, he had become intimate with the best angling waters of northern New York. With him the pastime was a delight. less be- cause of the fish te be taken than because of the pleasant places to which theireapture led hin. He was a born botanist as well as a born angier, as and during his later happy gathering the rare plants and fe and flowers he met with in his for walks as in catching trout. I have jour neyed with him through the whole le years he was quit | and breadth of our northern forest, and I never | journeyed with a more happy or ‘entertaining companion.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. There {s now on exhibition in this city an ink- | | stand the like of which, perhaps, no person in Cincinnati ever laid eyes upon before. It is about sixteen inches in length and ten inches wide, the base being of ebony, mounted in solid silver. Upon the base is the representation ofa rock, and upon the rock is an exquisitely formed figure of Mephistopheles, with a globe In his | right hand, de picting him in the scene of the | Opera just before ne dashes the globe to the ground. On the globe is engrayed the names of the cities of Padua, the birthplace of Boito, and Frankfort, the birthplace of Goethe. Rock, figure and globe, which Is about thirteen Inches in length, are of solid silver. The two ink bottles are of the most exquisite- x engraved cut glass, square in shape, and on the sides the names Faust, Wagner, Mephisto- pheles, Nerens, Margaret. Panthalis, elena, and Martha are engraved. Upon the front of the rock are medallion portraits of the com- Vbesg Arrigo Boito, and Goethe, surrounded ¥ a wreath of solid gold, while ona gold scroll under the medallions are in reilet the words, “Der Mensch Ehrt in der Kunst Goettliche mit- gift.” The covers of the bottles are of sterling silver, wrought into exquisite designs, the one representing poetry, a k and pen, the other music, a lyre and music book showing the score. The base a drawer lined with satin wood, and the monogram A, B. on its front. The whole is to be done up in a satin lined morocco case, and will soon be forwarded to Milan, Italy, the residence of Signor Boito.

She regarded as audacity had been prospered by the Lord, and enabled him to sell at a profit. The romance of Salt Lake City is the story of ‘Libbie Young, and visitors are sure to hear it as an illustration of how love rules the world. Libbie Young resided in Philadelphia. One of her relatives was the second wite of Brigham Young, jr.. and while visiting her husband fell in love with Libbie, and Libbie became infatua- ted with him. She refused tu marry him, how- ever, unless he discarded his wives—an arran; ment which, strange to say, was agreed to. Brigham, jr., then made a settlement on each of them, and he and Libbie were married. They lived happily until the death of old Brigham in- duced his son to look to the succession to the presidency, when, to strengthen his influence with the church, he took to himself two new wives. On this Libbie left him, and ever since both of them have broken hearts. She still maintains Intimate relations with his former wives and frequently visits them, and when she goes to Salt Lake, Brigham hovers around her residence to get a glimpse of her, but she will not see him. And yet everybody says she loyes him and he still loves her, though ambition proves the stronger passion. . ——__-2-____ Frauds in Drugs. The Philadeiphia Medical News has discovered @ pretty good argument against buying quinine pills. It finds by expert analysis that only two of our seven prominent manufacturers give an honest weight of sulphate of quinine in their “two-grain” pills. Those made by une firm con- tain 2.10 grains, and next to these are | ill con- taining 1.99 grains. The others run down so low as 1.61 grains and the price varies from $2.75, the highest, to @1.70, the lowest, per hundred. This discovery of what may be care- lessness, but is more likely to be fraud, takes on @ considerable importance when it Is considered that quinine is one of the most widely used and expensive of drugs. The poorest of ged cod (containing 1.61 grains) issold for the higl rice, $2.75, and iff the other cases the cost Ceare no just relation to the real amount of quinine present.

He has fished many of the best rivers of the Provinces, and is as expert a3 he is enthu- siastic In the practice of the art. Of late years his daughters have accompanied him and shared with him the great pleasure to be derived from these annual visits to the quiet places where salmon and seatrout gather in their season for the delectation of the angler. One of his daugh- ters was long an invalid, and although she was temporarily ‘benefited by these summer so- Journs in the silent woods, she recently “entered into rest.” Hereafter the pleasure the honored statesman may derive from his angling excur- stons will be hallowed by the memory of the heart-gladdening companionship of the “loved and lost.” JUDGE FOLGER, the present Secretary of the Treasury, is also fond of the angle. A coterie of genlal gentle- men have lodges on the banks of Geneva Lake. The Judge is chief among them In skill and en- thusiasm. He has been hoping for years to accompany Judge Hadley, his near neighbor and intimate friend, in his annual raid upon the king of fishes; but he has always had the mis- fortune to be 80 tied down by thegalling withes of public responsibilities that he has never been. able to pass beyond the metes and bounds of his official parish for the length of time needful to make the trip and enjoy the longed-for lux- ury. A seat will be reserved for him in ourcosy tent untila kind Providence shall enable him, unhampered by any special obligation to an ex- acting public, to try his ’prentice hand on the lordly salmon. JUSTICE GRAY. Chief Justice Ritchie, of New Brunswick, and Chief Justice Gray, of Massachusetts; (now of | the Supreme Court of the United States), were two of the merriest men I ever met on angling waters. The former, though venerable in years, had all the ardor and enthusiasm of lusty youth, and was one of the most persitent an- glers I ever encountered. He cast with the skill of an expert and fonght his fish with a dash and impetuosity as exciting as it was masterful. Chief Justice Gray, with less experience and more deliberation in casting and killing, was ike his brother ehfef tn his tntense Biers of the and in a] ion of enjoyable pos- elbilities of Pao life on salmon waters. the picturesque memories of these two eminen! jarists which remain with me is this: Chief Justice Ritchie had struck @ large fish about the going down of the sun.

Whereupon he hastily extemporized a number of birch-bark torches, and started ont to the reaeue.

Journal. so completely en- Charlotte (N. C.) ————-+- 2 One Phase of Washington Society, From a letter in the Boston Advertiser. There ts a social element in Washington which is supremely indifferent to anything like It would be hard to tell just where it or of whom it is composed. Mainly, I say, the army and navy, and the remnants of that old aristocracy which has clung to the government like barnacles for half a century. They live to a large extent in high-toned board- ing houses, but have always such an acquaint- ance among the ultra-fashionable circles that they are always found at their receptions and parties. These people generally are in receipt ofa quarterly check upon the Treasury, a me- mento of some deceased relative who years ago belonged to the military establishment; or else have some perquisite in the departments which yields a pretty income without much work. These folks hold a most supreme contempt of that class in Washington, who go by the style | of “Congressional people.” To them such gen- tlemen as represent districts and states In Congress, who deteriine upon the policy of the government, and who are in the main excellent representatives of the best types in American life, are of minor consideration. 1 One of these ancient ladies asked me the other day about one ofour New England Congressmen, “Does he not come from the people?”—as it that were enough to condemn him. That question embodies their ideas. They hold themselves en- tirely above “the people.” Reyelling in the memories of bygone relatives who once drew salaries from the nation, they hold themseives in lofty contempt of those later gentlemen who now hold the places which thelr grandtathers occupied. It is anaristocracy unlike that of any other city. Itis based not on wealth, nor in- telligence, nor birth; simply upon traditions of official place. They and the army and navy keep up their fe: ities this winter as ever. With them there is an entire indifference apparently to all things pertaining to “the people,” provid- ing only that Congress appropriates the money to pay them, and the succession of dancing par- ties is kept up with regularity. ese Nes New Penal Code for Indians. Indian Commissioner Price has sent a circular letter to all Indian agents, containing new rules for their guidance. The rules establish a tri- bunal, to be called “the court of Indian of- fences,” und to consist of three persona, not one to be a polygamist, at each agency, to be nomi- nated by the agent after consultation with the Indians. The ‘judges of Indian offences” are to be paid $20 a month; their termis a year, and they are removable at any time by the commis- sioner. The courtis to holdtwo sessions a month, and special sessions. The agent tg im- powered to enforce attendances of witnesses and the orders of the court. The ‘Indian offences” to betried by this court arethe sun dance, scalp dance, war dance and ‘‘sports assimilating thereto.” Unlucky Indians found guilty of cues eal! a ae lose their Hsrerdge fit days, Any plural marriage is an ished by a fine rt $20 or hard work for twenty days, or both. ‘Medicine men” for using thelr influence against civilization are to be shut up in prison for from ten to thirty days and to be fed on bread and water. Stolen property must be returned and the thief shut up for tl days. Where an able-bodied Indian is pale] of failing to support his wife and children, no rations are to be issued to him. An a) lies from the “court of Indian offence” to the com- missioner of Indian fairs. ——_—-o+_____ ‘The Secret of Dead-headism.

From the Philsdelphia Press, 25th. In the Delaware county court, at Media, yes- terday, Judge Clayton granted a writ of habeas corpus compelling Mrs. Henrietta Melville, wife of Engineer Melville, of Arctic fame, to produce her children—Elsie, Mand and Meta Melvilie— in court on January 8. This action is the result of Engineer Melville's efforts to obtain posses- sion of his children. ey Our Citize: Desire No Notoriety, but are Always Heady to Procinim the Truth, Mrs. Geo.

I became readfully troubled by being short breathed, so that even a slight exertion or a litt exercise would tire me almost toexhaustion, and I was 90 distressed when I retired nights that. could not sleep, and was very rest- lees. One of my limbs especially had » very severe nervous pain, which always seemed to be more severe at night than at any other time, snd would frequently ache so sharply as to arouse me from sleep.
