THE DAILY EMPIRE.
a MelnnchOly Life Drnmn,

Among the passengers of the steamer
Wisconsin, recently burned on Lake Onta-
rio, near St.sVincent was Mr.. Chisholm
from Canada. on his way to Missouri, In
company with his wife and six children.
He was n man about tlfty-flvc years old,
aud had bought Il farm In the State to
which he was travelling, aud was moving
with his family and goods When the fire
broke out he was sitting on deck, but his
wife ana children had retired for the night.
He called them up hurriedly, and sought
to save their lives In most unfortunate
way. One of the small boats was let down
TO about a foot OF the water and about
twenty passengers lcaped into Il, and Mr.
Chisholm assisted his wife, three daughters
aud a son to get In. One of the frightened
crowd cut the rope which connected the
bow of the small boat with the daylt, and
the. loosened end dropped down like spoon
and the boat at once filed with water.
Ihe passengers were thrown out and
nearly all drowned. This happened
not more than minute and n half
before the steamer struck the shore on
Grenadler Island, and had all remained on
board, as the Captain ordered, not life
would have been lost. Mrs. Chisholm, the
three daughters, aged respectively twenty,
seventeen, and fifteen, aud the boy of elev-
en- years, were all drowned. The father
and the two elder sons, who stuck to the
steamer, were saved. Mr.. Chisholm had
$1,000 in greenbacks, his only fortune,
which was In his wife's satchel and was
destroyed by the fumes. Thus he was left
In q strange land. n widower, bereft Of fur
children, without money or property, with
his grief resting upon his SOUL to commence
the world anew. The bodies of his wife
and children were recovered and have been
Inferred in the graveyard Mt Cape Vincent
and the sad, heart-broken Husband and
father, with his two remaining sons will 20

The BED OF THE OCEAN Bit is stated that
soundings have been made in the North
Atlantic to so great an extent that IL is now
possible to map out Its bed quite accurate
ly. This ocean Is long trough of varying
depth, extending, probably, from role to
pole. Its bed follows the geneaal structure
of the land. Here and there rocky peaks
like that of Teneriffe, or huge mountains
of sand, such as the Grand Banks of New
foundland, reach up to or beyond the sur
face. Between Ireland and Newfoundland
the telegraphic plateau, which is evidently
a continuation of the great watershed
which, between latitude 40 deg, and 10 deg.
north, surrounds the earth, and divides the
waters flowing north from those flowing

GA YOUNG LADY returning to her coun-
try home, after sojourn Of few months in
the City, was hardly recognised by her friends.
In place of coarse, rustic, flushed face,
she had soft ruby complexion of almost
marble smoothness, and instead of twenty
three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry az to the cause of SO great a
change, she plainly told them that she used
the Circassian Balm, and considered it
an invaluable acquisition to airy Lady's toilet.
By its use any Lady or Gentleman can i'm
prove their personal appearance an hundred
fold. 1t is simple in its combinations, as
Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in
its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also
healing, cleansing aud identifying the skin

cuticle it draws from it all its impurities, kind
ly healing the same, and leaving the sur

The Ballot.

We cannot expect good govern
ment, unless we place honorable
men in positions Of authority
We cannot expect such officials
to be selected except by intelli-
gent and high-minded voters
We cannot expect voters to be
intelligent and high-minded as
long as we rake the cutters of the
social system for creatures on
whom to bestow the privilege
of the ballot. If electors are
made out of the dregs of the COM
munity, we must be conscious that
those dregs will elevate their own
kind to offices of trust and emolu-
ment. To purify the machinery
of government, therefore, we
must first purify the materials of
which it is composed. To secure
Legislators incapable of corruption,
we must first secure voters inca
pable of being bribed, and to Sc
cure such, suffrage should obvious
ly be limited alone to those who
are sufficiently enlightened to
properly appreciate the RESPONSE
bility of dictatorship; to those who !
are educated enough to compre-
bend the public wants and mea-
sure the intellectual calibre of i
candidates; and to those whose
honest independence of spirit will
to be influenced in their
vote by unworthy motives. Such
is certainly not the tendency of
the times under the BrOWnlOW
dynasty. They are making the
ballot more and more common,
and consequently more and more
contemplate. We are sowing
the wind, and Of course will reap,
The whirlwind. We are planting IS
widespread the seeds of bribery
md corruption, and we must ex- |,
oect to witness, in consequence, q:
| state of depravity, in every
branch of government wholly be-
