The FATHER OF THE NAVAL SCHOOL Thomas
Coin is with the dead Who did not know him
For thirty years his energy and honesty Of charac-
ter made him one Of the first OF the " shipping
masters" of the United States. Shipping, as he
did, thousands of sailors every year, he became
intimately acquainted with the requirements OF
commerce and of the navy, in all relating to the
efficient manning of our ships. His sagacity fore
saw the scarcity OF men which now exists-when
our ships of war can scarcely enlist one man per
day. and the Mexican war is consequently pro-
Ftracted-apd when our merchantmen, laden with
food for the starving millions of Ireland and
Scotland, are delayed, from day to day, from a
want of seamen-and his philanthrophy and patr
otsm induced him to undertake. from hi own pri-
vate resources, the expense of inducing Congress
to establish naval school. By an outlay of up
wards of $40, 900, and after many years of inces-
SAINT labor his efforts were crowned with limited
success. Thousands Of the sailors now afloa
owe to MIR. Coin debt of gratitude for the first
rudments of nautical education He was en-
phatically the frie OF the poor mans son, and
whilst he never larrelled with the good fortune
OF those who obtained commissions n our navy
from adventurous birth, he strenuously advocated
| the claims of the children of poverty who possess
ed talent and worth.
Mr.. Coins plan would have been OF inoacula-
BILE advantage, had he lived TO carry out its de-
tails, with the assistance Of liberal Congress
but his good deeds live after him. Several large
cities have awarded him public thanks; and we
trust that the pgratitude with " hch some have
treated his lab)rs, will not deter others from at
tempting to complete what he so well began.
! His sudden death was superinduced by his ex.
traordinary exertions, night and day, in the ardu
Gus labor OF manning the ships OF war hastily pre-
pared for the Gulf squadron. He died blessing
his country, and IS mournea by friends innumer
able. His brethren OF the Masonic and Odd Eel
lows Institutions followed his remains, with
many moHIners, to Greenwood Cemetery, where,
after life of usefulness, he sleeps IN peace.
All the shipping in port, American and foreign,
wore their colors at half mast, throughout the
day, as q mark of respect.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAprEARANoEs.--It frequently
happens in this city, that one Of our citizens will
leave his home for tho rUIpos- VI gong short
Instance to see a friend or do some business, and
never be seen afterwards. More of these mys-
ferrous disappearance have occurred this than in
any preceding year. A few of those who dsap-
pear come to light again in a few days, perhaps in
a week, and account for their absence from their
homes and families by tough stories OF having
been drugged with soda water, and afterwards
gagged and otherwise injured, but their stories
not believed. 1t is not ofthese reappearances,
however, that we now wish to speak, but of the
real genuine mysterious disappearance, the OBJ
Jects OF which have never returned.
That such disappe arances are of frequent
occurrence, every person who reads the
daily papers, is well informed Flaming adj
vertisements, offering large rewards for any
information that will lead TO the discovery of the
nsissing persons, appear almost every week, and
frequently no tidngs are ever learned OF them
Now we do not think that this good city of ours
is a niche lower down in the scale of morality,
than any other city of its dimensions ard popua-
ton on the face of the globe. We cannot believe
that these missing persons are murdered, and af-
forwards disposed OF to prevent evidences of the
crime appearing against the authors of i, because
as we said before, New York is as moral CRY as
any other, and no such crimes are committed in
other cities that We know of But if they are not
murdered and secreted, what becomes of these
vict.ms1 We know they disappear, hat where do
they disappear to
This is a question which it behooves every man,
woman and child, in the community, to ponder
upon. On every case of this kind, our citizens
should appoint committees ofinvestgaon, and
offer large rewards for the apprehension of the
villains who commit these daring crimes. They
will have an opportunity, no doubt, very soon !;
and when the committee shall have been pro-
perry organized, and ready to undertake their
commission, we wish them to step into our Of
fee, and we will send a person who will direct
them 10 places where we think their labors will
be crowned with success The victims, we are
confident, will be brought to light, not alive, to
be sure, but dead
Indeed, we confidently assert, that if the nu-
me ous Hills Of Howth in miniature that have
remained in our streets and thoroughfares for
months past, as monuments of the unfitness of
the dirty street party to conduct the affairs of this
city, were opened and examined carefully, the
remains of many of these mysterious disappear
ances would be account for on reasonable
grounds.

SUICIDE OF EZRA l.. M,LLER-We noticed a few
days since the death by suicide, at Newark, N j.,
Of a Mr. Miller, of Brooklyn. The Charleston Courier
aludes to his DEATH and says he formerly engaged
in mercantile pursuits in that city, where he experienced
varied fortunes but finally acquired wealth, and left for
the north. In 1898, Mr. NJ elected director in the
Railroad Company. Entering into tho enterprise with
much zeal he went to Europe at his own expense, for
the purpose Of acquiring information on the subject of
locomotives the result of which that he contracted
with and furnished to company the first locomotive
that run successfully railroad in the United States

THE PaosrKRrry on Nrw YoRx The city of
New York Is at present pregnant with evidences
ofprosperlty AT ut no time, perhaps, in its history
did it present a more cheering and enlivening
aspect than it does at present. Our mechanics,
tradespeople, professional men, merchants,and
la5oring people are all employed at remunerating
rates, and appear cheerful and happy. Rents are
advancing neutrality-suspicious. of all kinds-are
getting dearer; and speculation, which follows
prosperity the fash of light follows the meteor,
recommending. Up town lots are At a uranium.
and before many years we may have as many
sites for cities that will not be built for generations
to come, laid out with the greatest mathematical
precision-and as many water privileges in the
moon or elsewhere, advertised and solo, as we had
in the memorable years 80, '36 and 81.
The greatest evidence of the prosperity Of a chy
like this, is the number of theatres and other
places of amusement that are supported.
We like to see mechanics, and other working
men, after their daily tolls are over, take their
wives and families to some place oil amusement
in the evening, where they can obtain rational
and inn ocent enjoyment at a cheap rate. II ee-

Judging from the number Of places of amuse-
ment supported in the city, we should say that
New York IS as prosperous as she ever was.
We have at present SIX theatres and one circus, in

How long this state Of prosperity will continue,

events twill be many years before we shall have
so much distress and bankruptcy as marked the
