STEAM SHIP COLUMBIA Losr.-The
Boston Advertiser of the 18th says: By
the arrival of the Penobscot steamer
from st. John, we yesterday received
direct information of the loss of the Co.
lumbia. We received our newspapers
with full accounts by the North Ameri-
ca, a few hours later.
The Margaret, which went from Hall
fax to the assistance of the Columbia, ar
rived at that port on her return, with the
passengers and mail, all the movables and
parts Of the engine of that boat at about
3 O'Clock on Friday last.
1t appears that after the passengers
were placed in safety, all their baggage,
all the valuable furniture ofthe boat and
a part Of the engines were saved. With
these exceptions the boat would be a
total loss. She was driven up upon the
ledge five feet above high water mark,
and on Wednesday broke her back.
When the Margaret left she was swing
ing BY her bows, and any ordinary COM
motion Of the wind and waves would
dash her to pieces. The crew were left
with her at Work, having a number Of
small vessels at hand, with the hope Of
removing the remainder of the engines
before she was wholly destroyed. The
captain ofthe SAKE Gotha steamer, at St.
John, had been on bsardehe Columbia
on Friday morning. At hat time she
had broken in two, but her rigging, spars
and sails, with a great part of the engine
would be saved.
The Margaret was in preparation for
her voyage across the Atlantic, and was
to be despatched for England, with the
mails and passengers, on Sunday or
Monday.
Before leaving Seal Island, a meeting
Of the passengers of the Columbia was
held, at which resolutions were passed
acquitting Capt. Shannon from all blame;
expressing their thanks to the officers,

Ups and Dozens of Lite.-The fol-
loving two Incidents are the tricks
which fortune is daily playing among
the sons of men. A correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun, writing from
Washington, SAYS:
"AIr. John Dade, the Warden OF
the P~enitentiarv of this county, has, |
learn, received information from Lord
Ashburton, through the hands OF the
President, hal he is now the Marquis
of Townsend, with an income OF
100000 per annum. Mr.. Dade is a
genuine old Virginia gentleman, ard
will know exactly how to euloy such
an income"
The Providence Chronicle states
that the Hon. N. B. Borden late mem
Der of Congress for the Fall. River
district. was on Sunday morning
worth $4,000. He is now penni-
less! Truly do riches take 10 them
selves wings and fly away" Mr..
Borden's property, which was nearly
all of it in n spot, was completely
destroyed, there being not 4 dollar Of
insurance upon it.

Continuation of Mr.. Henderson's
notes, reported by himself.l

The wine that was made by our
saviour was not made for the purpose
o~fgratifying the appetite, but to show
his divine power, TO prove his divine
mission-he frequently referred to his
miracls TO confirm the faith of his
disciples; and again, there is no posi-.
tire proof that Jesus Christ e drank
anv wine. know it is said "the son
ofman came eating and drinkiHg.'
but il is "a said whether water or
VINE was the drink--we know he
at Z Or ts1l.'. nj the well of Sauna
ria. He VAS called a wine bibber. but
| presume my Hon. opponent would
say this charge was false.
Mr.. ID. says we might with the
same propriety dispense with the use
Of fire. because it some times does
great damage. Surprising the gen
tleman is really, what he appears to
be, ignorant of the difference, | will
endeavor to explain the reason why
we dispense with the common use of
intoxicating liqnors and retain the use
of fire. seeing they both do HARM
Then we are taught in moral philoso-
phv, in common sense and in the b.
BILE, that things that are calculated to.
and do produce more happiness than
misery, should be fostcred and re-
garded as friends of humanity.--and
that those things which produce a
greater amount Of misery than hap
piness should be dispensed with,-this
is a selfeviden, proposition; no man
in his senses will deny what have
here said. 1t is true that fire occa-
slonally does great harm; but it is
constantly employed in the service
of man, and is indispensable to his
comfort. On the other hand il is on
ly occasionally that intoxicating Ii
quor does any good, and we are suf-
fering the evils of it increasingly. 1t
is impossible for my friend or any 9TH
er man to escape from this conclusion
u~nlesss he has the hardihood to say
that whiskey, taking it altogether,
does more good than harm.
But the gentleman has said that
the temperance people make a saviour
Of Washingtonianism. suppose that
they never considered it any thing
more than the means of salvation.-
Washington is said to have effected
the salvation of this country. He
was a temporal deliverer. Washing
tonianism has deliveredhundreds from
a tyranny worse than that under
which England wished to hold U.s.
Paul says he is all things to all men
that he might saue some. MI. d.
might with as much propriety accuse
Paul of arrogating to himself divine
power, when he speaks of saving
some, as to fall out with the temper.

The prices of Tobacco in ST. Louis
have not materially changed since our

larly for a choice article. We notice a

ment. On his person were found
several official papers from General
Arista. recommending him to several
Tribes as an agent of peace. His

THE Crardt.--A medical writer in
the Newburg Telegraph is ont with a
series of well grounded arguments a.
gainst The bandage which men wear
around their necks. Besides being
very injurious to the throat, he con-
tends that it is no addition to person
al appearance. An example ls given

addicted TO throat diseases, and yet
they never bandage their necks in
the coolest weather. Besides, no one

Members of HE Sabbath School,:

Members of HE Sabbath School:
You are now in that sweetest Pc
Rod of Persistence, the morning of life.
To you the world is a fairy iand-a
bright scene of verdure and sunshine.
In the morning you 90 out in the lone
woods. and you hear the songs of the
happy birds; the rustling of the green
leaves as the soft wind slirs among
the thick branches; the cooinc of the
dove; the bumming of the bee, that
solemn melody that float, from the
inner forest; the pIeasan, smell of the.
sweet flowers; and your Young
hearts leap in unison with the mus
ings of nature. And when the quiv-
ering sunligh, has faded; when night,
with her banner Of gl,ttering stars
looks forth from the broad sky, o
hear a thousand melodious sounds
blending together and stealing over
the quiet waters, and YOU saw. 80
bright. bright is the imagery of earth,
and sweet her ever varying melo-
dies! You 60 to your rest; you are
h0ppy. You know moi sorrow; o
know not wrerchedncss. Sometimes
a cloud may dim Your hopes and YOU
may weep; but it is ike the shadows
of an April day smiling through tears.
Oh. beautiful is youth, and touching
is the tenderness they bear each 9TH
er, and fair in the eyes Of the smiling
sun are the gambols of the young
child and the merry laugh, coming
from lnnocrnt hearts.
But not only is youth the season Of
enjoyment, but it is also emphatically
The season of Improvement. Those
seeds which are now being sown in
your breasts will undoubtedly grow
with your growth and strengthen
with your strength. You are now
cultivating those elements which are
soon to be the governing and pro-
polling principles Of your natures.
Your are now forming your charac-
tiers. Every ingredient which is now
incorporated into your minds will
add so much to your future happiness
or misery. Every truth you cherish
will yield you a rich harvest in futu-
rity. Every evil you foster will bear
its full proportion of anguish and
tears. As you regard therefore the
admonitlons OF those under whose in
struction you now are, so will your
future welfare depend. As you trea-
sure up the rich stores of divine truth
with which you are presented, so
will your after years be rewarded
with pleasant recollections or bitter
"reminiscences. If you cultivate eve
ny germ of morality in your youth,
you will acquire that steadiness ofpur-
pose and that infexibilitv Of rssoIye
which will enable you successfully 20
battle with the innumerable tempia-
tons incident to human existence.
The seeds are planted in your own
breasts, and if duly watered and
strengthened by your own exertions,
they will o terminate and expand
into a perfect embodiment of each
branch and lineament of the moral
tree, and at last will weld rich and
glorious fruits. But if you cherishthe
beginnings Of evil; if you sacrifice
virtue for vice, and honesty for dis
stimulation; every succeeding year

Ar. CdMoun.-The Commercial

AR. CaMoun.--The Commercial
Advertiser speaks of Mr.. Calhoun as
the 'haughiy southerner." No cpl
tibet was ever more misapplied than
that Of "haughty" to Mr.. c. He is
as mild and gentlemanly in his man
ners in social life, and as courteous in
debate, as any man in or out of the
councils of the nation. At times he
is animated, Tut never IN his seat or
elsewhere, have we seen him provok-
ed SO far as to lose his temper for Il
moment. His example in these re-
spects is, we think, worthy Of imIta-
ton. much rs we differ from him in

Total Regulating, 642, 1896
Total population of the United States,
is 1902, $50.
Thus of our seventeen millions o peo-
pie, less than one million are openly, and
less than four millions more virtually
tainted with the horrible guilt and blast
ing dishonor of reputation. Over
twelve millions and a half pay every cent
promptly. O the residue, Mississippi
repudiates $4,000, 900, and Michigan
So, 200, 600 on frivolous p~retexts, and
Florida $1,000, 900 without any pretext.
The States which practically repudiate,
by failing to provide the means of pay
ment owe about 100000, 900, Of which
we think the greater part will ultimately
be paid, but not before a loss of at least
fifty millions will have accrued to inno-
cent holders of the stocks, who will be
driven by necessity or apprehension to
part with their securities Gas the face
tons term is at %ruinous rates. Every
one of these has a just and equitable
claim On the State, issuing his stocks at
the full amount of such loss. But there
is no hope that it will be paid.

that the state of Ohio is alive to her in

The facilities and cheapness o~ftranspor-
tation from other Western States, will,
