THB GREAT NAVAL REVIEW The Herald Correspondent on Board the Wabash. PREPARATORY TO THE EVOLUTIONS On Boarp U. S, FLagsnie Wasasu, Froripa Bay, near Cape Roman, Feb. 6, tire) “How shall I begin ¢o describe the first two days? sail from Key West?’ I asked of one of the ward- room mess ag we Sat On the gun deck, enjoying our afterdinner cigar. “That is a part Of your professional duties which Icould never clearly comprehend, F never could write when there was nothing to say," he replied. “But,” sald I, “the readers of the HERALD de- mand to have their thirst for a knowledge of naval tactics satisfied from day to day, and if you have ever catered to the demands of a clamorous public you will appreciate the delicacy of my situation, Come, now, give me the nautical cue and I can go ahead easily enough. A ttle of the technicalities wouldn’t be bad." + . “Well, if 1 were to describe tt I would say that at daylight on Taesday (February 3) the feet ‘up | anchor.’ The vessels were then ordered to sati in column at six knots; but, as the Shenandoah couldn't make that time, she fell out of the line until the fremen bad been wakened and the steam ‘ralsed so that she could retake her position. Thus they proceeded all day; with the Congress leading and the Franklin bringing up the rear. Oc- casionally there would be every indication of a coill- lon between twoort the vessels; but the ‘apecd ball? atthe head ofthe mizzenmast would indicate @ ‘slowing down! along the line, and all fears would soon be dissipated Late in the afternoon the walls of Fort Jefferson came in sight. The vessels were then signalled, ‘Forward, into line, left Oblique.’ They all started to execute the move- ment, but @ lew ‘busted’ init. Then.we an- chored over night At @ reasonable hour yesterday morning we got under way, and having passed inside-the line of keya terminated by Garden Key, on which stands Tortugas Light- house, the signal ‘By vessel right’ was given, when all the ships turned towards the eastwara and headed for Florida Bay, where, alter an un-' eventful voyage, we ariived safely.” (Cries of “Barke! burke! from a dozen throats, conveying 4 to the most casual listener the insinuation that this expression had been generally heard by the mess on some previous occasion.) “And here we are,” concluded the maker of history’ with the utmost equanimity, after the interruption had ceased, THE SCENE OF THE SPECTACLE. We are now upon the bay, in which al! the exer- cises will be conducted, Fiortda Bay is formed by the long line of reeta and sandbars running out from Cape Florida, It is a very sheltered piece of water, protected by the mainland on the north and the ledge of coral rock on the south and east. From Cape Roman on the north to the keys on | the south is about seventy-five mies, while the whole of the Guif Mexico opens up before us to the westward. This bay, as thus considered, in- cludes Ponce de Leon Bay, and is much larger than indicated on the maps under that name. AsI write the gradual swell of the great Guif comes sweeping in upon us like that from the ocean, The Wabash rides the billows as firmly as a church stands, and we ao Not feel any motion worth men- tioning. | THE DREARY WASTE OF WATER. Astde from the weekly tip of ad 4 Sop West and netrriya te 7 semi-weekly market boat, we have no communica- tion whatever with the outside world. The week’s Dews ts an unsealed book to us until Saturday brings us our files of the HERALD. A naval mind will grasp the situation without a moment's reflection. In ere not @ cocoanut tree in sight; at night not alight above the horizon, We are in that great, untravelied and attiiied Waste oF Water Where sailors are lost and the lead and line is the best pilot. Water everywhere, put not a drop to drink! What 13 more tantalizing yet, the growth of sharks is most flourishing, and to take advantage of the warm temperature of the Guif water to bathe would be to cancel your claim to payment on your insurance poilcy. A Key West jury even would call it suicide. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH IT? This vast tract of water scenery without any thing, save the mancuvres of the vessels upon its surface to break its monotony, is what we are to enjoy for several weeks to come. Every one who reads this will realize what a delightfully easy (?) time everybody is to have. We will all be forcea to learn the principles of naval.warfare, whether desirable or not, for study of any kind is certainly more interesting than doing or seeing nothing. Every degree of interest and importance that can possibly attach to mancuvres o/ this kind will de- velop itself in this great aquatic spectacle. To those of us who have never seen fourteen men-of- war in battle array, where there Is no enemy, this will be an occasion long to be remembered. If I were to say this at the wardroom table I fear that the general expression of opinion would not coin- cide with the enthusiasm which | have so boldly expressed. WHAT YOUR CORRESPONDENT WILL DO. How five weeks can be occupied in fleet drill I cannot comprehend; but it is one of those things which, doubtiess, will become more familiar as 1 grow older. 1 shall let events take their course. it is a principle in naval discipline that when the officer of the deck cannot decide what todo ina moment of vitai importance, he should let things take their course rather than make a fatally wrong move. Ihave this great drill (dol hear cries of “Burke ?’) on my hands, and I must “take it allin.”” I have begun a faithful study of the text books on fleet evolutions, and, by the end of the spectacle, will be in a condition to write intelligently regarding this bugbear of “the Western members’—the naval movements in the Gull, THE BALL OPENED. The first day’s regular evolutions will take place to-day. I regret exceedingly that the mailboat goes so early this morning that I cannot include an account of this day’s mancuvres. The genera, plan which I sketched out some days ago will be adhered to closely. A general drill to test the speed and capabilities of the vessels of each division will follow for a few days, Then the divisions will be exercised separately, after which will follow the great variety of entertainments be- fore spoken of, in the shape of target practice, tor- pedo firing, &¢. the sailing under steam which has taken place dur- ing the last two Gays and toremark that the Wa- bash, an aaxillary steam vessel, was the only one ‘Which was able to maintain the oid rate of speed. “OUR MESS." The wardroom mess on the Wabash has one charming peculiarity which I wish to embaim along with the history of this great naval review. Neither collectively mor singly will its members tolerate an old joke, The summary way which they have of disposing of all such infiictions de- serves careful study by the outside world, Whether the reference to “Burke” applies to “Father Tom,” who outwitted the Pope, or to some lesser light, I have not dared to inquire for fear of having his name hurled at my poor inquisitive head. I be- Neve he was some fellow who told old jokes, Suf- fice it to say the utterance of the magic word at the dinner table has the effect of uniting all con- versation (which may have diverged into just twenty different topics) upon the comparative merits of “Pommery and Greno” or “Roederer.” * * * The men are just called to quarters, so I “pipe down.” . ON Board UNITED STATES FLAGSTP WABASH, Near DRY TORTUGAS, Feb, 4, 1874. ‘The yessels of the feet left their moorings at Key West yesterday morning and dropped down to Sand Key Lighthouse, where a general rendezvous was ordered. The vessels took their places in their respective divisions and again came to anchor, ‘The non-arrival of the Brooklyn, Ossipee and Ja- niata has necessitated a change tn the order of the ait Betore dismissing this subject I desire to refer to | Liceaaals. Tue tue Roxane was assigned, to,9pe, of L pega the divisions, The Franklin was assigned to the last position tn the teft division, as the Captain of the Lancaster was the ranking oMcer im the divi- sion, A large veasel is always placed on either fank, 80 that when the order “Right about” is @iven one of the largest class of men-ol-war is leading. The generat signal, as indicated in Order No. 6, whioh I sent you by telegraph, was given tnis morning at dayligit. The vessels bad ail taken up their positions in their respective divisions oa the previous evening, and at the signal raised an- chor and stood out to the southward. The sail to Tortugas was uneventful. The waters near here having been declared to be unsuitable for fleet evolutions by both Admiral Case and Commodore Parker, the fleet will leave to-morrow for the Gulf of Florida, just below Cape Romain, The Guif stream and che numerous lumps of sandbar in the vicinity of Tortugas are the cause of this decision. The squadron evolu- tions will scarcely begin before the end of this week, THE FALLEN BREWERY. Heartrending Scenes—Bodies Brought Out Crushed and Mangled—Eleven Men Killed and Eleven Injured— ‘The Complete List. PHILADELPHIA, Ped, 14 1873. . The work of excavating the ruins of the brewery which yesterday (ell én thia city ts;yet going on, and new bodies are hourly being taken out, some dead and others {rightfully crushed and mangled, The number of parties at frst reported as having been in the building when it fell was sixteen, but twenty-two have been dug out, while two known parties are still missing. The scene of the wreck is terrible, indeed, and the work of excava- tion “ts very slow and painful. John Shaw, who resides at No, 2,012 Berks street, was found wedged in & mass of timber, part of the heaviest of which had crushed both his legs. He was alive and conscious; but, while talking with his acquaintances hi§ agony was excruciating, It took three hours to dig him out, and during that time stimulants were freely administered. Alter the poor man was exhumed {t was found that both legs were broken, while he was bleeding from severe internal injuries. Two unfortunates, named Henry Starr and —— Koliey, were found in a pool of blood, fearfully man- gled with the ice and timber, stark, cold and dead. Near these two reposed simply a mass of qutver- ing, bleeding flesh, crushed 80 terribly as to bear no resemblance to & man, and who, up to this hour, has not been recognized.’ ‘The search continued all last night, several others being tound dead and fearfully mangled, One (John Murphy) was found still alive and taken toa bospital. Three otner men upon tne payroil were still missing, and the rescuers worked all night despite tne heavy storm that was raging. ONE OF THE SADDEST AFFAIRS that ever came under the notice of your corre- spondent is the foliowing in relation to a young German named Wurster, who appeared at the seene of the disaster early yesterday morning, and who worked heroically all day long to relieve the sufferings of the poor victims lying under the heavy burden, He did not hue even to take lood, and worked hike a hero and Christian from morning until night. He rescued one man after cut- ting for three hours directly over his body With a hatchet, and at nightfall paused for & mo- ment to rest, His strenuous exertions had greatly wearied him, and, alas, in deacending from the Tuins he made a false step, his equilibrium was lost, and he fell head foremost irom an elevation of thirty feet, crushing his body to jelly and bringing instant death. LIST OF THE KILLED. I give below a complete list of those who were killed, with such additional information as it has 0 Tage ed fog nee att ; as Allen, ape lived. ae Twenty-third and Linn siete ri nha Tektes a wite and two chil- dren.

A Man named Kelley, who lived on Taney street, Wh Brown, Starr, Kelley and an unknown a been working in company, and were buried together, each being terribly crushed and suffering instant death when the mass fell upon them, Albert Johns, aged twelve years and six months. He had been diiving one of the ico carts and was inside of tue building when it fell. His body was found buried in malt, in which he had been smothered, with @ broken stairease lying upon it, The remains of the unfortu- nate lad were discovered by Mis own futher, who led one of the corps of rescuers, Four unknown men, crushed and lifeles: recovered up to nine o'clock last night. these men is supposed to be Willlam Hopping, who was yesterday missing. His face 1s beyond recog- nition. He was a new man, his name having only been placed on the payroll yesterday morning. George Worth, a carpenter, living in the ueigh- borhood, was instantly Killed by falling into a deep pit in going irom the scene of the disaster. He came early to the scene und worked with unflag- ging zeal to rescue the dead and save the living. In pag ome with Officers Carirey and John Stenson, of the Twenty-third district, he left the place at nine o’clock last might, and had hardly proceeded a hun- dred ieet when the three were precipitated into a pit thirty feet deep, which was intenaed for a beer vault, He was instantly killed. The cries of the others attracted attention, and they were rescued badly injured. This morning the bodies of Jacob Limbach and Otto Schubert were recovered. Tuus far 1t is Known that eleven men have been killed and their bodies taken to the Morgue. MISSING. The men who are missing, and are supposed to be still under the ruins, are as tollowa:— Jacob Koth, a young married man, who bad been clerk in the brewery, and had been running the engine during the absence of the regular engineer, who was laid up with a broken leg. Just belore the building fell he had gone up into the third story of the structure to give some orders, and since that time he has not been seen. Charies Burk, a young Man who had beep taken on yesterday morning. THE INJURED. ‘The list of the injured is as follows:— Henry Muller, Jr., son of the proprietor; not were ne of Tiously. Freverick Wagner, twenty-five years of age; not seriously. Patrick Marley, nineteen years of age, living at | Twenty-third and Hare streets; badly crushed, | thigh broken and skull fractured.

John Shaw, lorty-five years old, living at No. 2,012 Berks street ; found wedged in @ mass of ice, with heavy timbers crushing his limbs; sustaimed in- ternal injuries and tractures of both legs, Taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he ties in a critical condition. Louis Repsher, thirty-four years old, living at No, 739 Howard street; severe contusions of the head and lims, At German Hospital.

Taken to Pennsylvania Hospital and then removed to his home. He was jound when all hopes of re- covering any more alive bad vanished. His re- covery stimulated the men working at the ruing | with greater energy, and within half an hour (the time being hali-past eight last night) they came upon Matchael Murphy, who was found alive; had a leg and an arm broken. He was taken to his home, | No. 2,105 Nicholas street. Henry Newman, twenty-five years, slightly in- jured. u Patrick Lee, twenty years, slightly injured. bg Reynolds, twenty-seven years, glightly in- ured. ‘These three men escaped from the ruins scon after the building fell. OMcer John Carfrey, living at No, 1,724 Uber street, seriously injured by jailing into a new beer vault, The affair has caused universal horror, and the details o1 the accident, the condition of the man- led corpses, and the agonies Of the wounded and Spin are too terrible to be described. Building Inspector Robert Bowers made an ex- | amination of the ruims this morning, and discov- ered that three of the pillars had been forced | through the crown of the arch’ into the cellar. | The theory of this gentieman is that the immense weight forced these pillars through the arch, which spread the walls, causing them to fail. | ‘The brewery was erected at a cost of about $50,000, There were about 2,000 barrels of beer in the vats, valued at about $15,000, all of which was lost. There was also a large quantity of valuable machinery, furnaces, kettles, hoisting apparatus, malt, hops, &c. in the ruined building, and the pecuniary loss Will amount to the neighborhood of $100,000. MURDER AND SUICIDE IN GEORGIA, | ATLANTA, Feb, 14, 1874. Aman by the name of N. M. Wood, at Rutledge, Ga., poisoned three of his children and then shot Kimaelf last night.

WOMAN'S DISINTERESTED INFLUENCE: Whiskey Dealers and Topers Shown No Quarter. Couomsus, Onto, Feb. 14, 1874. Your correspondent nas had the pleasure of s private interview with Governor Allen, the Execu- tive of the State, on the subject that is now so largely agitating the public mind, His views may be substantially presented as follows:— GOVERNOR ALLEN ON THE TEMPREANOE CRUSADS, “I look upon the movement,” remarked the Governor, ‘as only another proof thas the public mind ia always subject to the same oscillation that individual mines are, and think that this particu- | lar excitement is abnormal, and, therefore, tem- porary.” “But ts tt not extending?” “So it will extend and continue to extend until, , atter @ while, it wiil spend itself and a reaction set in, The ladies are right in this. Their infu- ence Is the only force which can have any real and lasting infuence in checking the ruinous tenden- cies W intoxication, I believe and always have believed that the iadies alone can ac complish this great object. When men become mixed up with {it they are sure ¢o have some ul- terior and selfish purpose in view, and conse- quently the movement will lose its force. The women are always moved by an unmixed desire to accomplish good, and that desire remains effective until men, With their mixed and sordid motives, interpose to take the lead, All influence which seeks to correct bad habits in man, aach aa exces- sive drinking, must be moral influences, and in the exercise of these infuences the ladies will neces- sarily exert the greatest power. All positive power of government and law has in all times and countries been proved by experience insuMcient to control men in matters of habits and manners. In these particulars the moral force of public senti- ment,‘usually called public opinion, is alone found to be eMicient. There is no lkelihood of the Legislature taking any action on the subject, Whiskey drinking cannot be abolished by law. You may pass ail the laws you please on the sub- ject, and you will only sharpen the invention of the fellows who sell. The vote of the prohibition- ists, some 10,000 in this State, might as well have been thrown into a waste basket. THIS THING OF PRAYING AROUND SALOONS is being carried to excess, When an epidemic comes along it very irequently embraces the finest persons and the finest physical organizations; ence the fact that the movement is being carried. on by ladies of the first respectability shouid create no surprise. I believe the whole excitement to be of an ephemeral character and that tc will in a short time subside.” The Governor spoke quite deliberately, and his words as he’ uttered them seemed as if he were presenting, in his brief and terse style, a special message to the Legislature on the subject, i MME BROWN INTERVIEWED, Immediately after his interview with the Gov- ernor, your correspondent was introduced, in the arlors of the Neil House, to Mme. Mattie McO, .Brown, chief or the Grand High Priestess of the Independent Order of Good Tempiars in this State. I was informea by this lady that the Order is making great progress, not only in this country but in Great Britain. Of course the Good Templars wii} take advantage of the present temperance agitation to make permanent proselytes to the cause. Mme, Bo 18 RoW engaged in de- @ course of lectures in_ditferent parts State, “and woud ave delivered Bar 18—-tOWR,. OF Rep to-night, had not tuddef indisposition prévénréa: per. Aa, 1° formed by Mme, Brown that Lady Ogle, 87 Brigh- ton, England, is Worthy Chief Templar of a sub- ordinate lodge of Good Templars in England; also tbat Joseph Madins, as Grand Worthy Chief Tem- plar of Bngland, is making himself a history, which will be the rival of that of Premier Glad- stone; that John Pepper, Grand Worthy Chief Templar of Ireland, and John Simms, Grand Worthy Counsellor, are doing a@ like work of reformation for that island. THE COMING CONVULSION, When all the temperance posts get to work here there will be a grand upheaval of the knights of the keg in this State. You may rely upon that. and yet some of them begin to ow fight. In Springfield, this morning. there was a report that all the saloons had closed. Tnis was soon ascer- tained to be a wholesale and retail fabrication. Again it was reported that a notorious saloon keeper on High street, George Miller by name, had resolved to he nis whiskey in the streets. You never saw a much more indignant individual than Miller when your correspondent asked him if the report was true. “Nol it’s all alfe, Tain’t got no whiskey in the first place, to sell, and why should I make such a fool of myself as to throw it into the street if I had? The whole story amounts to this:—Some- vody—mentioning a name—had asked me if | was oing to throw any liquor into the atreet. I told im ‘No.’ He said, ‘I better had.’”? Here Miller’s lips became livid and his eyes flashed with angry fire, “They want to use force with me, do they? I'd like to see them; I'd blow them to hell in a min- ute.” The ladies made no public demonstration in Springfeld to-day. ar had their usual prayer meeting in the Methodist Episcopal church and arrangements were made for further outside seiz- ure on Monday. Dio Lewis and Van Pelt have been speaking in Springfeid, but they both left to-day for other fields of usefulness, The liquor dealers in Spring- fleld are preparing to organize for aefensive opera~ tions, AS yet not one has relented or been con- verted, nor can I find that any have shown signs of a contrite spirit, LEADING FEMALE WARRIORS IN SPRINGFIELD. A remarkable old lady—Mrs, Stewart—is the leader of the-movement in Springfled, and every- pody respects her for the earnestness with which she enters into the work. She waited upon Nullist, of the Lagonda House bar, termed the “Wickedest man in fa ”” but failed to make an impression. Besides Mrs. Stewart, Mrs, Henry and Mrs, Teegarden are notable jor their zeal in the cause. Yesterday the ladies waited upon a number of the dealers. One of them forbade their entering his saloon and closed the doors upon them, ‘They then commenced praying on the sidewalk. In the course of her prayers Mrs. Henry prayed tnat the Lord wouRt not shut the doors of Heaven against those who had shut their doors against God’s chile dren, Who were endeavoring to do good. The heart of the dramseller was touched, and his doors were opened. The prayers are all extempo- raneous, and are, in some Cases, marvels of im- pressive eloquence, as if there were really some heavenly inspirasion in their utterances, The movement has met with marked success in Xenia, Osborn and other places in this vicinity, and, despite the money-making features imparted to it by a few male leaders, seems still destined to have a long run. t Addresses to the “Ardents.” CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 14, 1874, One hundred and fifty postal cards were mailed tarough the Covington, Ky., Post Office to-day to saloon keepers, which read as follows :— Dear Sin—You are requested and entreated to abane don the sale of intoxicating liquors, for your own wel- fare and that of humanity. Remember that it is degrads ing to yourself and spreads vice and poverty among us, It you do not do this we will unite our prayers and visit you and every’ saloon in a body, iervently pleading unul our object is attained. THE LADI&s’ COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE, It is reported that the Covington ladies will com- mence moving next Wednesday. ‘The sale of liquors in Covington is licensed by both the city and the State, ‘There is nothing new in reference to the situa- tion in Ohio, except that the movement is taking hold of small villages. Two Hundred Fighters at Jeffersonville. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Feb. 14, 1874. The action taken by the women of this place for the suppression of the liquor traMfc was fully developed to-day. The organization, composed of about 200 ladies, met at the Methodist church, and aiter the preliminary arrangements marched quietly to the most prominent saloons. At tue first saloon they were reinsed admittance and services were held on the pavement. At two other saloons visited they were invited in and the Proprietors agreed to quit the business if bought out, An immense crowd congregated and drink- ing continued during the services. The ladies will make another offensive demonstration on Monday, Postal Dealers in Backsliders at Ripley. RIpvey, Ohio, Feb. 14, 1874, ‘The temperance movement is progressing here. One or twodealers who were pledged to sell no more liquor have undertaken to renew their old business quietly.

OBITUARY. Cardinal Tarquini. His Eminence Cardinal Camillo Tarquini, who ‘was prostrated by a severe attack of ilineas ou the Lith inst, died during the night of rriday last, 13th inst, He was born at Marta, Montesfiacone, Cen- tral Italy, on the 27th of September, in the year 1810, and-elevated to the dignity of the Oardinalate by the Pope on the 16th of January, in the present year. Cardinal Tarquin{ was an eminent and most humble Father of the Order of Jesuits, and obeyed, rather than tnvited the honor which was conferred on him by the Sover- eign Pontiff. When the special courier from tome Waited on him to announce the news of his acces- sion to the dignity he tound him engaged in wash- ing the altar linen of his church. The Jesuits have counted but few Cardinais among their Order—a necessary result of the express vow which they make not to accept any ecclesiastical dignity unless when constrained to do so by torial precege and under pain of sin, and of their untfail- ig efforts to preserve in its full force this most important enactment of their constitution. Nor nave the Sovereign Pontiifs been forward in im- posing upon members of the society the obdligation of accepting such dignities, and whenever they have done so it has been because they have found themselves coustrained by some general or special need of the Church to depart from their general practice. Jt was under the influence of such a motive that Clement VII, raised Francesco Toledo and the venera- ble Robert Bellarmine to Cardinauttial honors: and so it was with the promotion of Giovanni John de Lugo and of Pazman. the Primate of Hungary, by Urban VIL; of Sforza, by Alexander VIl.; of Curdinal Casimir of Poland, by Innocent X.; of John Nitardi, by Clement X.; of Jonn Baptist Toiomei and John Baptist Salerno and Alvaro Cienfuegos, by Clement XL, and, last of all, with that of Cardinal Camillo Tarquini by the Holy Fatuer Pius 1X, Theo. Derringer. A telegram from Philadelphia, under date of the 14th inst., reports:—“Theo, Derringer died this morning. He was one of the hiers interested in thé coal lands suits, one of which was recently de- cided at Wilkesbarre in favor of the Verringer tam- ily and against the heirs of Teuck Coxe, Mrs. James A. Froude. Atelegram from London, under date of yester- ay, 14th inst., announces the death of the wife of | James Anthony Froude, the histortan, | NOBLE-HEARTED PILOTS. Timely Succor of the Crew of a Yacht by Pilot Boat No, 21, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— I desire, through your paper, to thank three | brave men for a noble act, in saving two lives when all seemed lost—viz., pilots Charles Cum- miskey, John Shorks and William Germond, of pilot boat William H. Aspinwall, No. 21, for the prompt and timely aid given to me when in my yacht Anita, of Gravesend. I had been driven to sea about forty-five miles from Barnegat, and had been for over twenty-four hours completely at the mercy ofthe storm, having been caught in the squall on Saturday evening and picked up by them on Sunday ajlternoon. These men not only saved our lives, towed the yacht salely into harbor at Jon-s’ Inlet, stayed by her all night, pumped her out ary, cleared the sails of ice, but also shared with us the comiorts of tneir cabin and bunks, gave usa dry outfit and cheered us with every comfort in their power; moreover, positivel! retusing any pay or even a hint of reward, thoug! they had, to aid us, ran out of their course over 100 miles and lost over twelve hours of cruising time. Pilots are proverbially generous and full of sym- pathy for the weary and frozen “‘toilers of the sea;” but these three men—words cannot thank them enough, If medals are given jor such acts— | the saving of two lives—I say, if ever deserved by | men, these men ought to have one, At least let 1% be known to the pubitc where turee men who are worthy of the name can be found.
