HThe question of the completion o
the gap in the Cincinnati. Peru and Chica
90 Rail Road, between this place and Peru
is again being agitated. Our energetic
rail road man, Mr. Walker of Laporte, has
proposed to build the first mile, if forty
other men will each build mile-which
would complete it. This proposition is
certainly very fair--who viii speak next?
Of the Importance of the completion OF
this route, and the necessity of its being
built sooner or later. we will speak more at
length another time.

The Loss of the Austria.

Our exchanges come to us filled with the sor-
rowful particulars connected with this most APP
palling disaster; many of them deyoting column
after column To- the heart-rending details. Our
limited space will not permit us to elaborate to
such nh extent to publish the thousand and
one incidents that are always attendant upon such
an event. 1t is enough to say, that such whole
sale loss Of life under circumstances where lit
tie presence Of mind and discipline the part Of
those whose business it was to take charge Of the
vessel and her precious cargo u human beings
las rarely ever occurred. The vessel was provi-
dcd with sufficient number Of boats Ia accom-
mediate every soul On board. and as the sea was
calm aud other vessels almost at hand, there was
no occasion for tho sacrifice Of single life, except
of those who were .n,Tocated below mt the first
explosion Of the six hundred passengers and
crew known To have been board the Inflated
vessel not more than sxty-seyen, probably have
been saved.
In view OF the frequency Of these disasters tho
New York Times suggests method which, it
strikes US, would result in saving many lives that
are lost for want of n proper disposition Of tho
means provided for auch contingencies. 1t is
that every passenger upon taking his berth. should
also have his place assigned him in partic-
ular boat, Of which fact he should be appriscd.--
A certain portion of the crew should DO designa
ted for each particular boat and these 50 arrang-
cl rs 10 BE- ayailablcin the time Of danger. Every
passenger would then know where to look for the
means of rescue, and none Of the boats would be
rendered useless by the wild and senselcss rusl,
by which these frail supports are 40 often cap
sized and f,undered. The subject is deserv-
Ing attention.
