Two THOUSAND LIVES Losr.-The news

Two THOUSAND LIVES LosT.-The news
by the franklin is invested with melan-
choly interest by the intelligence Of terri
BILE earthquake in the southern part of Italy,
by which two thousand ives uere lost! This
appalling disaster is described as having
occurred in Calabria, which in 1888 was the
scene of a similar disaster, but attended
with much greater destruction of life. The
following description of Calabria, with an
account of the earthquake of 1888, is taken
from Brooks Universal Gazetteer:
"Calabria, a promontory and province of
Naples, forming the foot and southern ex-
tremity of Italy. extending from 81 SO TO 40 S
of north latitude and being about 40 miles
in mean breadth, between the longitude of
IS 40 and II 30 east. A ridge ofmountains,
the Apennines, intersects the whole terrific.
ry from north to south, and numerous
streams fall into the sea on both coasts. II
gives the title of Duke to the eldest son of
the King of Naples. 1t is divided into two
parts: Citra; north, bordering on the Basili-
cata, contains about 900 inhabitants, and
Ultra, south, containing about 100000.
This country abounds in excellent fruit,
corn, wine, oil. silk, cotton and wool. In
1888. a great part of Calab.ia Ultra as we'll
as of Sicily, was destroyed by one of the
most terrible earthquakes ON record besides
the destruction of many towns, villages. and
farms, above 10000 people perished by this
calamityo

An ELEGANT ExrRAcT.-The sea is the
largest of the cemeteries. and its slumberers
sleep without monument. All the grave
yards in other lands, show some symbol of
distinction between the great and the small,
the rich and the poor; but in that ocean
cemetery the king and clown, the prince
and the peasant, are all alike undistinguish-
ed. The same wave rolls over all-the
same requiem sung by the minstrelsy ofthe
ocean sung TO their honor. Over their re-
mains the same storms beat, and the same
sun shines; and there, unmarked, the weak
and the powerful, the plumed and the un-
honored, will sleep on, until awakened BY
the same trump, when the sea will give up
its dead I thought of sailing over the
slumbering but devoted Goodman, who after
brief but brilliant career, perished in the
President-oyer the aughter-Ioving Power,
who went down in the same fated vessel,
we may have passed. In that cemetery
sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher !;
but where he and thousands of others of the
noble spirits of the earth lie; no one but God
knoweth. No marble rises, TO point out
where their ashes are gathered, or where
the lovers of the good or wise can go to shed
the tear of sympathy. Who can tell where
lie the tens Of thousands of Africa's sons
who perished in the middle passage9 Yet
that cemetery hath ornaments of Jehovah.
Never can | forget my days and nights, as
passed over the noblest of cemeteries with
out single monument.

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY IN EuRopE-The
following extract or a private letter from
London will be read with interest by men
of all parties:
at seems indeed that it is the object of
the Administration of the United States to
puzzle the Europeans. First we had the
Inaugural and its professions of sympathy
with the cause ofliberty in Europe, followed
by Marcy's circular denouncing court
lveries, and then batch of diplomatic
agents were sent to Europe who do not
seem to have any other mission than to
amuse themselves, to dance the dance of
fools, to court the aristocracy and despotism
of Europe. and to be ashamed of Republi-
canism We see that young Cass in Rome,
the open and avowed enemy of European
Republicanism is maintained in his position,
because he aduates the Pope and his Car
dinals; we see Mason in Gold-embroidered
livery at the same court where Mr.. Sand
ford had already oeen received in citizens
dress. But one Of the many ambassadors,
attaches, and Consuls, one at last in London,
has the Courage to behave like Republi-
can; he discharges his busines in the most
efficient way he informs himself about the
material resources of the country to which
he has been sent, and employs his time in
procuring information as to the possibility
of the extension of American commerce.
while at his house and table he receives not
the titled loafers of European Courts: but
the men of the people, the representatives
of progress, the foreign republicans cast by
the reactionary storm on the shores of Eng
land This is Eaorpe SanderS and what is
his reward? He.is not confirmed by the
Senate. Indeed, if it is the object Of the
Senate to show that all their sympathies for
freedom are humbug. and that it is their
intention to spit upon European liberty and
to kneel down before Cars, Kaisers, and
Emperors, then they have acted wisely.
do not think that any act of the Senate could
have brought greater discredit on the Dem
ocratic party. than the rejection of George
Sanders's nomination.

No Mother.

3She has no motherw What volume
of sorrowful truth is comprised in that single
utterance-no mother We must go tar
down the hard, rough paths of life, and
become Injured 10 care and sorrow in their
sternest forms, before we can take home to
our own experience the dread realty-no
naother-wlthout struggle and tear.
But when it is said ofa frail young girl,
just passing from childhood toward the life
of woman, how sad is the story summed up
in that one short sentence! Who now shall
administer the needfuI counsel-who now
shall check the wayward fancies-who now
shall bear with the errors and failings of the
motherless daughter!
Deal gently with the child. Let not the
cup of her sorrow be overflled by the
harshness of your bearing. or your unsym-
pathizing coldness. Is she needless of her
doing? Is she forgetful of duty? Is she
careless in her movements? Remember,
oh, remember, "she has no mother? q
When her young companions are gay and
joyous; does she sit sorrowinge Does she
pass with languid step and downcast
eye, when you would fain witness the gush-
ing and oyerfowing gladness of youth
Chlde her not-for she is motherless and
the great sorrow comes down upon her soul
like an incubus. Can you gain her conf
dence, can you win her love Come then to
the motherless with the boon of your tender
est care, and by memory of your own
mother, already, perhaps passed away-by
the fullness Of your own remembered sorrow
by the possibility that your own child
may be left NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SO far
as you may, to relieve the sorrow and repair
the loss, of that fair, frail child, who is
written, n,otherless. Eclectic.

BARNuM AND THE New YORK CRYSTAL
PALAcE-Mr Barnum has written a letter
to the Directors of the Crystal Palace, saying
that ifthe merchants, hotei-keepers etc, of
New York, would purchase $4,000 worth
of tickets of admission, that sum would
provide for the most pressing deb, of the
Association. He will retain the Presidency
if his suggestion is carried out, and to show
his confidence in the success ofthe concern,
with such aid, he says he would not hesitate
to lease the building himself from the Asso-
citation for one year, and agree TO assume all
the current expenses and pay the Associa-
ton rent Of $4,000, sum equivalent to
Is per cent, on the whole capital, and then

ADVANTAGES OF EARLY TRA1NING.-The fol-

witness and a barrister: Mr.. Hayes (the bar
rister:) If q person lying on wet straw were
deprived of all the comforts or necessaries Of
life, would it not hasten death DIR. Edge:
That would greatly depend on whether he had
been accustomed to them. Mr.. Hayes: Do
you mean to tell us that if a person lived in a
horsepond, it would not be injurious@o him ?
DR.. Edge: I think not, if he had lived for sixty
or seventy years in it. -

Discovery OF CoFrEE.-Aabout the year
1858 deryish, named Hadji Omer, was
driven out of the community of Mecca.
Hunger induced him to roast the Kahhva
berries which grew near his hiding place
He roasted and ate them, as the only means
of sustaining life. Sleeping them in water,
which quenched his thirst, he discovered
very agreeable qualities and also that the
infusion was nearly equal to solid food His
prosecutors, who had intended him to die of
starvation, regarded his preservation as a
miracle. He was transmitted into saint.
Such are the facts relating to the discovery
of coffee. There are now supposed to be
5000 cofee-rooms in Constantinople.
