steamboat Disaster.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2Ol--Aprivate dispatch

NORFOLK, July 2o--The steamer PennsyL-
Udnia was destroyed by fire last night in the
James River, near jamestown. She left here
at four oclock yesterday. The fire was dis
covered at eleven o'clock at night, bursting
from the boiler deck. The passengers and
crew had scarcely time to save themselves in
their night clothes on RATS.
The flames prevented them from getting
the boat down. The names of the passen-
gers are as follows: G. d. Graham, Of Phila-
delphia; Mrs. McClung, of Richmond; Mrs.
Deits and four children, of Philadelphia. All
were saved with the exception Of three of
the children of Mrs. Deitz, who were
drowned. - ,tu
The steamer CARTS Peck, which was de-
tanned by the storm, passed the burning
steamer and rescued the passengers on the
raft and those remaining on the vessel, and
brought them here this morning.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by spontaneous combustion.

A POpish Plot,

We have to announce that the most dam
gerous plot which ever threatened the Pro-
testant faith has been devised by Archbishop
Hughes, for propogating the Catholic re-
ligion in America. 1t is nothing less than
to make the science of housekeeping one of
the regular branches of study in Catholic
seminaries for girls. The effect that will be
wrought on society, by furnishing girls who
are competent to take charge of household,
and to give a husband the comforts of a
home, instead of making him the uncom-
Portable slave Of inconsiderate expenditure,
can hardly be estimated. And if such girls
can be had for wives how is the breed of
Protestant children to be kept up? How are
Protestant single women to be provided for ?
The following is the way the willy Arch
bishop stated the insidious scheme to the
young lady graduates of Mount st. Vincent
Academy:
Although it is of the utmost importance,
young ladies, that you should have a good
education, should be accomplished, cultivated,
graceful and refined, yet there are other
things that can not be lost sight of. Before
another year rolls around ] purpose to ar
range with the Sisters for new branch of
study in the Academy. That branch of study
is what the French call the science of cuisine.
1t is the science of keeping house, and that
we all know commences with the kitchen.
Every young lady, don't care if she be a
Queens daughter, ought to understand that
department of life. Even though she may
not have to practice it, though she may be
able to hire cook, yet she should understand
it herself for it may happen some day that
the cook will dismiss her. [Great laughter ]
Well, what was going to say was that the
Sisters should arrange it so that all the girls
over thirteen years Of age should be enabled
to spend a portion of the time in the kitchen,
and become acquainted with cooking and
housekeeping. Here will be a new bureau OF
education. tLaughter.] We shall then have
the theory and some practice too"

AN AvARIcIoUs LovER-MoNEY PREFERA-
BILE TO MATRrMoNY.-A young man in Green
field, Mass, procured Clergyman to marry
him, and after the guests had all assembled
aud the knot was about TO be tied, the would
be bridegroom was called out of the house,
and soon, informing the clergyman and
guests that he would be back in moment,
mysteriously disappeared and after waiting
an hour the clergyman left for the Sunday
School celebration, leaving the intended
bride and her friends in doubt as TO the mys-
terious disappearance Of the bridegroom.
II subsequently appeared that person to
whom the bridegroom had loaned twenty-six
dollars was about departing in the cars for
New York; and that a friend had informed
him of the fact Just as the clergyman was
about tying the knot. and thinking that his
intended wife was safer than his money, lett
for the depot to collect his borrowed money
before the train should depart. He got there
just as the train was starting, got on board
the cars to find his debtor friend and was
carried of to Northampton. He, however,
collected his lent money went to the tele-
graph Office to inform his intended bride
where he was, but could not find the opera
tor and started for Greenfield afoot on the
track
At Whately the train overlook him and he
got into he cars and reached Greenfield at
half-past three o'clock, to the great relief of
his intended and her friends. he immedi-
ately took his intended to the clergyman s

RaIIroad FinancisrinR.

There are plenty of prophets who foretell
that the New York Central Railroad stock
has got to find the same level as the New
York and Erie. A pamphlet has lately been
issued at Buffalo, reviewing the management
ofthe road, and the reports, official statements
and accounts of the Company. The writer
shows that the Company has paid in divi-
dends and into the sinking fund, $6, lOO,e ,els 2s
over and above the earnings of the road,
which, Of course, could only have been done
by increasing the Indebtedness, and by dis
posing of the property of the Company. OF
this last, he shows various large items un-
accounted for, such as stocks in other Com
panies, dividends on the same, old material,
interests on deposits, &C., and he shows, also,
that the Company has drawn largely on the
earnings of the succeeding year to pay divi-
dends.

We have received for publication an article
on sunday Liquor Selling" which, on ae-
count Of It's length, we econdense The writer
states that there are in this city liza liquor
and beer-saloons and coGee-houses where
intoxicating liquors are sold, and, including
the confectionery and ffuit-stores and gro
] ceries. more than 2,0CO all in full blast on
Sunday, and better patronized on that than
on nyother day; therefore, on Sunday their
influence TO deuioralize the community is
greatly accelerated This is shown by the
vastly greater numbered arrests for ofenses
on that day. dtiHf ua9. .lG7.l
ro The writer states that he has seen twenty
persons enter one of these places in single
hour on Sunday; therefore, he thinks twenty
| during the day would be low average for
the whole 600 shops. This would make the
fearful aggregate of 10000 which is twice as
many as visit the places Of worship. We sus-
pect it is twice as many as all the places of
worship will hold. The writer shows that
most Of the palperism aud crime is traceable
to intemperance, and that laboring men are
most exposed to it on Sunday, because the
mechanic and lsboring man is at leisure on
this day, with the wages Of a weeks labor in
his pocket" .f.E sli
3 The subject is certainly one demanding
serious thought, and has more than one aspect
to the rejecting mind. The writer proves
by statistics that Sunday, the day which
should bring man nearer to communion with
his Maker, is actually the chief means Of his
Decentralization and ruin, because, both mind
and body being at leisure on that day, the
restlessness Of idleness drives him to indul-
gence in stimulating liquors. 1t is on huge
scale, an illustration of the saying of DR..
"For Satan finds some mischiefstl
4 'OjFur idle hands to do" '
sl To leave these shops free to carry on this
traffic on weekdays, when all others but
laboring men can visit them freely, and then
shut them in the face of laboring men, on
the only day when they are at leisure, would
hardly seem consistent. Laborers would
see its injustice. and no reform can sue
ceed if the subjects to be acted upon
discover injustice or inconsistency at the
bottom. Selling intoxicating liquors is
just as demoralizing to the subjects Of
it on week days as on Sunday. 1t is, proba-
bly,, a greater wrong to their families, as it
keeps them from labor which is required for
their support. No reform can be efficient
which tolerates this traffic all the week, and
then attempts to shut the foodgates on Sun
day.
The writer, however, proposes to have the
laws rigidly enforced on Sunday, and to shut
up every shop, including lager-beer houses
SO as to take Away temptation entirely from
the men who are exposed to it by the idleness
of that day.

ENORMOUS PETRIFIED TREES IN CALIFORNIA.
Capt. ]. E. Stevens, who conducted a silver
prospecting expedition from Marysville to
the Black Rock country, informs the Marys-
vile Democrat of an extraordinary discovery
which the expedition made of a petrified
tree. The tree is lying in desolate region,
about sixty miles north of Black Rock. Its
length, so far as measured, the top being deep
under ground, was 666 feet, and the general
opinion of the company looking at it, was
that it wasfrom forty tosixtyfeet in diameteri
Enormous tree Capt. Stevens thinks it Is
of the same species as the trees of Mariposa
Fragments of other trees of the same Kind
but smaller, are visible here and there
stumps and butts Of thirty feet length--all
petrified. And il is more than probable that
little excavation would discover vast
primeval forest there buried. This tree lies
exactly where it fell centuries ago, for there
are the upturned roots in just the position
they would most naturally be, and the prone
trunk bears no evidence of having been dis
turbed. II seems strange that the remains of
great forest should thus be found in coun-
try, now wholly destitute of any sort of
living growth whatever, except sage, brush
and greasewood, for hundred miles around.

Bloadin Crosslns ever the Whirlpool at
Niagara-His Goodness and DARING.

A correspondent Of the New York Express
writes from Niagara Falls on the 10th inst as
follows 5s. tDo uua o.
Blondin, of course, is one of the great and
permanent wonders of Niagara, and by his
own good will and the politeness Of friends,
mainly of the American and British press,
had the pleasure of seeing him cross over the
whirlpool this forenoon. Only o few personal
friends and honored guests were present. II
was a strange and marvellous, and in some
respects terrible spectacle. The wind was
high, with masses Of cloud piled high in the
heavens, and resting apparently upon col
umns which threatened every moment to
break beneath and deluge the earth with rain.
The clouds finally passed around the river.
| and left nothing but the wind to make the
voyage one of extra hazard. Blondin minded
neither presentwind nor threatened rain. The
big rope swayed little, and the guys which
supported it trembled in the wind. The cord
was 200 feet above "the hell Of waters" which
literally gaped and yawned below, and the
distance over this modern Styx was FIVE
times greater than the depth below.
The fastenings which held the rope were
about 200 feet from the Suspension Bridge,
and, as far as practical, by canvass upon one
side of the bridge and the erection of an
amphitheater, the eyes Of the curious but
uninitiated multitude were kept from gazing
upon this man of nerve, muscle and wire.
The mere machinery of preparation was a
marvel. But then came Blondin, a man Just
in his prime Of years, weighing l35 pounds,
dressed In the costume Of the circus, small,
cool, seemingly unconscious Of danger, but
really knowing and feeling in every limb
every hazard before him. For fame and
little material aid, but more for honor than
for money, he was willing TO take his life in
his hand and cross over the gulf below.
Others sailing over the falls, or tumbling into
the river, had found grave there before, but
neither the past nor any anticipated future
had any terror for Blondon. A thousand
times more collected than any one who be-
held him, he stepped forth with all the cour-
age and manliness of one who felt that the
eyes of the world were upon him, and that
he was ready to meet any danger which
might befall him.
For about thirty minutes he made the
rope his plaything, now standing upon his
head over the very middle of the liver, now
rolling over and over at the same place again,
now laying fat upon his back or standing
upon one foot and now letting himself down
by small rope of forty feet, and there in
| dulging in all the bodily evolutious and rev.
olutions of the best Of our slack-rope dancers.
| These mad pranks were kept up for long
| time, and until it was relief to the excited
| and anxious gazers to have them cease. The
walking, dancing, and running upon the
main rope was then resumed, and the Cana
dian shore speedily reached. Returning to
our own shores there were hazards, pranks,
and marvellous exhibitions such as standing
upon the head, dancing, hanging by the heel,
| &c.

TIE EDUCATION OF LIBERIAss.--D during
the last few years the intelligent, industrious
and energetic free colored population have
turned their attention toward Liberia, as an
inviting home. Their civil disabilities here
and the comfort and progress Of their breth-
rem there have done much to produce this
result. Some one hundred Of this portion Of
the residents of Pennsylvania are seriously
considering removal to Africa the coming
fall and as many more in New York and
other Northern States are similarly disposed.
The Liberians too, are preparing for this
desirable class of people, by creating suitable
society for them. Two of her sons have Just
graduated from prominent institutions of
learning in THIS country, viz: William Henry
EaIbeck, from the 'medical department" Of
Bowdoin College, Me-, and Wilbur Fisk
Burns with the degree Of bachelor Of arts, y
from Wesleyan University, Conn. The latter
is a sou of Bishop Burns, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Liberia. He will doubt
less occupy prominent position at the bar
of this expanding African State. These
young men are natives of Liberia, and expect

Difference Between the Influence OF English
and French Authors.

The London Critic in an article on the last
volume of Thiers's History Of the Consulate
and the Empire of France under Napoleon,
thus indicates the difference between English
and French historians, in regard to the influ-
ence exercised by their writings on political
events. The influence of authorship upon
life is so much greater in France than in
England, that NJ. Thiers's new volume of
what the present Emperor of the French had
styled "a national history" possesses a far
wider than literary interest. On this side
the channel, the influence of the most brilliant
or the most careful historical works is one
purely intellectual. Lord Macaulay never
dreamed of shaping the foreign policy of this
country, by an exhibition of William the
Thirds antagonism to France and the para
doxes of Mr.. Froude are the merest attempts
to excite factious attention.
1T is in France alone-France mobile, sus-
ceptible, ever ready to convert thought and
feeling into action-that Lamartine, look
ing out of his window on a mob of infuriated
blouses, can say: ''There goes my History Of
The Girondins." AT a juncture like the pres
emit there is little exaggeration in saying that
Theirs new volume, in which is told the
story of the penultimate fall of the first Ma
poleon, is European event. The former
political position of M. Theirs, his social aud
intellectual status, and above all, the designa-
ton of his work as national history by the
Emperor of the French, combine to give his
new volume an Importance in which the
present and future share with the past
