STEAMBOAT DIsAsTER.-A terrible steam
boat disaster occurred on the Ohio river, be-
low Louisville, a few nights ago. The steam
ers E. Howard and Henry Lewis came in col
lision, and the latter was sunk in about TWEEN
ty feet water The passengers, including
number of ladies and children, escaped in
their night clothes, and took refuge on the
hurricane deck, exposed to all the inclemen-
cy Of the weather. Many of them were sore
ly bruised by the boxes of glassware and other
articles that fell in upon them from the roof.
The boat also caught fire, and amid the
smoke, falling ruins, and rushing waters their
chances of escape seemed hopeless indeed.
The boat luckily settled to the bottom of the
river, leaving the hurricane roof above water,
and there the survivors congregated to await
assistance, which was rendered by the E.
Howard in about three quarters of an hour
after the accident. This time had been en-
ployed by the Howard in extinguishing the
fire, and saving the people afloat in the river.
1t is thought that about fifteen lives were
lost by this accident. Among those on board
of the Henry Lewis were four of the fugitive
slaves of Mr.. Gaines including Margaret
and her child. The child was drowned
said to have been thrown overheard bv its
mother-and the others saved. The mother
exhibited no other feeling than joy at the
loss of her child.

Singular Divorce Case.

Singular Divorce Case. ..t !
The New York and Philadelphia papers
contain full reports of one of the most SIN
hulaf. and, considering the reputation and
standing Of one of the parties Interested, one
of the most important cases that has ever
been tried in this country. The facts rela-
ting to it, are substantially these Rnfus W.
Griswold who was at one time distinguish
ed and highly respectable clergyman. but who
is more generally known 10 the public as the
editor of the book upon American poets,
was married in Philadelphia in 1913, to
lady of ample fortune and of accomplished
manners, who resided in Charleston S. c.
The lady at the time of the marriage, was on
visit to Philadelphia, in company with
some relations, and while on this visit Mr..
Griswold became acquainted with her and
married her. He had been previously mar
ried. but was at the time of his second mar
riage, IA widowcr with two children. He
represented to the lady TO whom he now Of
fered his hand, that he was worth $3.50, LOCO
in his own right, and that each of his chill
dren had $4,000 settled upon them for life.
After his marriage he removed TO Charleston.
and made very free with his wife's property
in high living SO much so as to create alarm
and induce the friends of his wife to request
him to rplinuuish his rights over her property.
To this he a first objected, but finally agreed
to do it on condition of having $4,000 set
tied on one of his children, and of receiving
thousand dollars himself, which conditions
were agreed TO.
The marriage evidently was not happy
one. He was much of his time in New York
and Philadelphia, sometimes without his
wife and som-times with her. Thus matters
went on until 1852 when he induced his
wife to sign a paper agreeing to a divorce
which he said could be obtained in Phladel-
phia for $Sl4 The divorce was obtained
and in week after he married Miss McCril-
les, of Bangor, Me-, he having been engaged
TO that lady for some time previous to the
divorce being granted. 1t was stated by the
attorney, and was in evidence, that for some
time he heSitated between Miss Alice Carey
and Miss McCrIIes. He preferred mis-;
Carey on account of her congenality of dis
position and literary taste, but he said Mis-:
McCrlleS was wealthy and would be better
calculate to secure his domestic comforts.
The present suit is brought to have the d
vorce annulled, on the ground that it wa
fraudulently obtained. Two OF the princi
pal witnesses in the case against Mr.. Girls
void are Mrs. Ann S. Stephens and Mrs Ell
let, the well known writer's.
The court of common pleas of Phladel
phia decided on Saturday that he had no
been divorced by the supreme court. Con
sequently he is guilty of bigamy. 1t is to b.
hoped that he may be punished for the offenc
TO the full extent of the law. He is one o
those numerous scamps who curse and dis
grace society, and are only fl to associst
with species Of creation much lower thar
the human family. Cincinnati Gazette.

Very few coasting vessels ever leave Shan
gha or Ningpoo without an assorted lot of
boys thrown in to make up her cargo. The
traffic in girls is still more general, in conse-
quence of the prevalence of infanticde,
which countenances the murder of female
infants as soon as they are born. We hear,
says recent number of the Friend of Chi
ma, of one hundred girls ready for shipment
at one place for the cigar factory at Manila,
and an order for two thousand girls at Cuba
has lately been received. Boys can BE- sold
at profit for 1915, and girls as low as a

FREEDoM OF the Press IN NICARAGUA
We learn from California paper that on
one occasion recently the Walker troops did
not receive their usual weekly literary pab-
ulum--EL Nicaraguen8e---for the excel
lent reason that it was not issued-the corps
editorial and typographical having been over
come either by the climate or aguurdiente.
Whereupon General Walker sent word TO the
office that, in case the paper was not issued
the next day. he should send file of soldiers
to arrest the editors, printers and all. Great
activity prevailed in the office after the re-
cpption of this hint, and the paper was 'rush-
ed up just in time. The file of soldiers az
rived just in season to see the forms locked
up.
This is regular Napoleonic feat, with the
difference that the French Emperor sends files
of soldiers to stop the press, while the dicta-
tor of Central America uses his forces to set
it going. Great country, that Necaragua.-

There is much force in the reasoning of
DR.. Heckerman, of Tiffin, Ohio, in regard to
the unfitness of the milk of breeding cows
for children. 1t is the generally received
opinion of physicians that, under certain
conditions of the mother, infants should be
weaned without delay. But the great pro-
portion of milk from cows is liable to the
same objections. 1t was found by the chem
ist Lasigne, that the milk drawn from cows
sometime previous to calving, was devoid of
casine, milk-sugar and latte acid but aboun-
ded in albumen and uncombined soda, while
after parturition the first three substances
were found i'll due proportion and albumen
was absent. To this cause was attributed
much of the mortality among children.
