In connection with the laundering ut sea
of the Evening Star, on her way to New
Orleans, there are some interesting facts
to be told. The vessel is said to have been
utterly unseaworthy SO much SO that she
was not insured perhaps not insurable.-
This is damaging circumstance for the
company owning her, and permitting her
to 20 to sea full of passengers. Among
her passengers were more than a hundred
unfortunate women Of the flash persuasion,
who were on their way to spend the winter
in the employ of progresses from New
Orleans. They included representatives
from nearly all Of the first class houses of
that kind in this metropolis. They oil
went down. Many of them were respect
ably connected. A city banker, on learn
ing that his wayward daughter was among
the lost. clapped his hands in sorrowful
gratitude. and exclaimed: "Thank God |!
Nv daughter, the pride of my heart, is
beyond the worlds SHAME .ia 81
Also, included in this flock of frail ones,
were two highly accomplished young Ia
dies, one the daughter of a minister of the
gospel in Western Pennsylvania, and the
other the daughter of clergyman Of this
CITY. The families Of several Of our N. Y.
merchants were also. represented among
these beautiful female ruins. Indeed, I
am told, there was hardly one of these fall
en- women who could not point to highly
respectable connections, in this and other
cities. Charity must now be thrown over
them but how sad the thought that sim
Gle burial case should have taken down
into sthat deep which nothing discm-
bogues'' SO much sin and iniquity as the
Evening star contained. Few single inter.
mepts have included hundred harlots, an
operatic troupe and q circus company. II
is only fair to state that this line Of steam.
ers has enjoyed the dubious reputation Of
being the oily one which would engage its
berths for the transportation Of such
rough characters as composed this unfor.
tunate cargo Of iniquity.-Cincinaati Com

1t seems that the young man had heen

the house. On Sunday afternoon, seeing
bottle in room adjoining his own, la
belcd blackberry cordial" he took it from
the table, and placing it to his lips, drank
of its contents. lie was Immediately seiz-
cd with intense pain and vomited violently.
Several of his fellow-studcnts came into
the room at about this time, but all were
SO shocked by the condition of the young
man, that some ten minutes elapsed before
the cause of the mischief was ascertained.
AS soon, however, as it was discovered OF
what he had been drinking, the mystery
was dispelled, and a physician Immediately
summoned. The bottle referred to con-
tanned nitric acid, and had been purchased
by one of the students for the purpose Of
proving battery for a small telegraph i'll
strument. sl a&aI
DIR. Payne, who had been called to at
tend the young man, arrived soon after
ward, and did all that was possible to neu-
tralizc the effects of the poison, and to al
leviate the sufferings of the unfortunate
person. He gave it as his opinion, howe
yer, that the terrible draught must prove
fatal. Mr.. Bryant was still alive an Mon
day, but no hopes are entertained of his
recovery.-CAieayo Rep. a.r aisf.5e.aas.s
