adds
"From these ruins, men, women and

we have exaggerated in nothing. Here
were two locomotives, two tenders, large

one fireman, who were slightly bruised, not
one man, woman, or child was in the least

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1888.
1--WE were present on Saturday last at the

gJWe were present Saturday last at the
'instalation'' Of the splendid piano presented to
the steamer Baltimore by some of the liberal mer-
chants of the Monumental City, and were de-
lighed with the appearance of the instrument and
the music produced by the skllful hand of Prof
Weidrich. The effect was almost magical, the
lower bass notes sounding like full orchestra,
while the higher notes are as soft as those of
flute. The outside case is ofrose wood, elegant
lycarved. The piano is one of the largest kind,
a seven octave, manufactured by Knable, Cache
& Co., of Baltimore, and reflects alike credit
upon the makers and the liberal minded donors
We regret that It is not in our power to name the
donors. The Baltimore is now complete, and
music will henceforth lend its charms TO the many
attractions presented to the public by the style and
comfort of this boat, and the urbane and courte-
Gus conduct of the officers, including with Capt.
Clark, the gentlemanly master. The Messrs.
FickieSon are agents for the manufacturers of
this piano, and we would advise persons wishing
a finished instrument to call upon them before
purchasing.

LISBON AT SEA.-The United States Supreme Court
at Washington it is sad has recently reversed the
decisions of Judge Story an of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court, the question of the liabilities of
ship owners in cases of collision. The old doc
trine was. that underwriters ''liable TO repay
to the insured damages paid by him to The owners
of another vessel and cargo, suffered in collision
occasioned by the negligence of the master or mar
liners of the vessel insured" Judge Curtis has
recently delivered the opinion of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that underwriters are
not thus liable. This is manifestly most impor-
tant decision.

GyThere is so little of interest floating over the
country that we can find nothing to hinge an edi-
toral upon, and were it not for the kind indul-
geance of the public we should feel like knocking
under. The fact is that the political world is
dead, except the remaining office holders, who are
dying as fast as the guillotine can put them
through. There is no activity in the election
way, if we may except the anxiety of the Democ-
racy to secure the Board of Public Works entire,
and upon the whole there is pause, but of what
prophetic cannot say, so that we will here
pause and wait the result.

U-The Summer travel of Southermers at the
North will be unusually large this season, princi-
pally on account of the Industrial Exhibition at
New York, though much of the increase springs
from other causes. The New Orleans Picayune
says that already numbers have left, while many
others are just about to leave and still more will
leave later in the season. The main portion ofthe
Crystal Palace will not be completed, however,
before the list of June. So says the Enquirer,
and he Espace for exhibitions is already

erecting other adjacent buildings for particular

VERDICT AGAINST A PHYsIcrAN.-In the Su-
rendered against Dr. Joseph Klttredge, of Andover
with damages in the sum of 81, 675 for mal-prac-
tice. 1t appeared in evidence that a lad named
Ashworth had his arm badly injured by the ma
chinery OF the mill where he was at work. DR..
Kittredge was called, dressed and bandanged the
arm. On the third day the boy complained of c1n.
siderable pain. but no examination was made until
the fourth day, when it was found that mortifica-
ton had commenced. Other physicians were con-
suited, and they gave their opinion that the boy
could not live. He, however, recovered, the NOR
tfication being checked by the free use of brandy
and salt, but the arm came OFF, The claim for
damages was based upon the supposition that the
bandage was SO tight as 10 cause the modification
and the consequent loss of the arm Butler for the
prosecution, Abbott and Train for the defence.

an odd genius in that city, who has nolparallel:
There is man, a day laborer in the Custom
House, who receives thirty5fye dollars a month,
which lie spends the most OF it in decorating his
person. He has his own peculiar notions of taste,
and on Sunday he attires himself in his singular
costume, and exhibits himself in the most frequent
ed thoroughfareS and public places. Yesterday,
at the request of gentleman, he came to the draw
ing room of the St. Charles, to crafty the anxiety

daysbeyend their time that they might have the
pleasure of seeing him.. He wore modern shaped
coat and pants. but his hat is remarkable for its
broad brim, which IS nine OF ten inches in width,
on one side Of which he wears a massive eagle of
pure gold; his shoes of silver, and are ionted,
to permit him 10 walk the more easily. His coat
and pants are profuselys decorated with very rich
lace, and the seams are strung with gold coin. "A
long string of twenty and fifty dollar pieces reach
from mis- neck to the point of his vest, and around
his waist is girdle, from " hich depend punches
OF golden fishes, each of which is seven or eight
inches long. His hand however exceeds the rest
IN novelty-the fingers are covered with rings, one
of which weighs one pound and half; he wore

ted with engravngs on gold of the flight into Egypt,
Adam and Eve, and the Crucifixion; he has a mas

broad shoulders. This expensive costume is kept
in the bank during the six days Of the week, in
which lie assidously tolls for more money to buy

willing to answer questions concerning the cost of
his golden armor, and expat'ates very loudly upon

House informs me that his Sunday dress is valued
at from three to four thousand dollars.
