a Terrible Catastrophe.

A Naples correspondent tells the follow
ing singular story in letter dated Febru-
airy %, 1867:
about noon last Friday, Naples was
startled by the sound of an explosion
towards Posilippo, and it was soon known
that the powder mills there had blown up.
OF sixtythree persons who were on the
spot at the time twenty were found dead,
eleven wounded, seven unhurt, and the rest
nowhere-only mangled fragments remained
of them. The powder mill and several
houses in the vicinity were overthrow.
Fortunately the store where the powder
was kept after manufacture resisted the
shock, otherwise the mischief would have
been still greater. The cause of the explo-
sion is the most remarkable part of the
affair. The directors of the mill had raised
suspicion by his extravaganza expenditures,
and it was discovered that he systematically
appropriated TO his own benefit a large por-
ton of the powder manufactured A party
of police, therefore, headed by Inspector
Vesta, paid him visit and found ample
proofs of his crime On seeing that his
frauds were discovered, he found pretext
for entering a room where about six quin-
tails of powder were stored. and setting fire
thereto, blew himself, the police, and all
else who were near, into eternity. Public
charity has been active in subscribing for
the poor families of the sufferers in this
horrible tragedy"

Der. Between nine and ten o'clock on
Saturday night, cries were heard as from
two men in the water, In Railroad street.
opposite the Cruthfeld House. Their cries
we're mingled with splashings in the water,
which lasted for couple of minutes, when
all became quiet and it is feared that some
unfortunate men sank to rise no more. A
small boat, containing three nen,. capsized
between the Episcopal and Presbyterian
churches, at Chestnut and Seventh streets,
on Saturday morning. No boats were near
to render them any aid, and none of them
seemed to know how to swim. After sew
eral vain endeavors to climb upon their
boat, they finally went down. A frame
building with three men on it foated across
Suttlertown late on Sunday evening. Two
of them slipped off the roof somehow, and,
10 attempting to get back, it turned over on
them, throwing the third man off, and
burylng the other two underneath it, 4

Lookout Mountain road. A negro man was
drowned near the upper end of the depot
yard, on Saturday afternoon, and white
man was lost by his boat swapping near
the Soldiers Home, corner of Fifth and
Pine streets. As we said before, no esti-
mate can be made of the number of lives
lost, but we have no doubt that it is very
large. Probably the full amount will never
be known.

A Eenagerie of Drunkards.

The most foolish predicament man can
get into is to get drunk. La drunkenness
man shows his strongest and most ardent
passion. There are six kinds Of drunkards,
and, if you will 60 into a city drinking
place whore there are dozen men under
the influence of liquor you will be sure to
find there six different animals.
The first is ape. drunk. He leaps, and
sings, and yells and dances, making all
sorts of grimaces, and cutting up all sorts
of monkey shines, to excite the laughter
of his fellows. 0, terribly silly is the drunk
en- clown.
The second is tiger drunk. He breaks
the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the
heads Of his fellow carousers, and is full OF
blood and thunder His eyes are fired with
vengeance, and his soul raves with murder
Gus fury. OF this sort are those who abuse
their families.
The third is hog drunk He rolls in the
dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts, and,
going into the streets, makes his bed In the
first ditch or filthy corner he may happen
to fall into. lie is heavy, lumpish, and
sleepy, and cries in grunting way for a
little more to drink.
The fourth is py-drunk. He will
weep for kindness, and whine his love and
hug You IN his arms, and kiss you with HIS
slobbery lips, and proclaim how much he
loves you. You are the best man he ever
saw, aud will lay down his money or life for
you.
The fifth is owl-drunk He is wise in his
own conccit No man must differ with him,
for his word is law. lie is true in politics,
and in all matters must be taken as author
ity. His arm is the strongest, his voice the
sweetest, his horse the feetest, his turnips
the largest, his town the finest Of all in the
room or land.
The sixth and last animal of our MENACE
RE is the fox drunk man. He is crafty,
ready to trade horses and cheat if he can
Keen to strike bargain, leering around
with low cunning, peeping through cracks,
listening under the caves, watching for some
suspicious thing; sly as fox, sneaking as
wolf, he is the meanest drunkard of them
all.

Decay of American Shipping.

We have heretofore alluded, says the
San Francisco Bulletin, to the pregnant
comments of the Secretary of the Treasury
upon the decay Of shipbuilding in the
American ports. To such an extent had
this decay proceeded last summer that on
the coast of New England and over our
whole country, there were said to be no
more ships constructing than in the little
British province of New Brunswick alone
We once built ships for all the world.
Now, the least enterprising and skillful of
our competitors beat US, and takes away
from us great and profitable branch OF
industry. The true cause Of this must be
caught in the excessively high duties on
the various materials necessary for ships so
great that they cannot compete successfully
with cheaper vessels built elsewhere
Ships of 200 tons burden can be built in
New Brunswick waters for between $4,000
and $4,000, while in New England, under
the burdens mentioned, the cost is nearly
double. An effort is making in Puget
Sound, Washington Territory, to establish
shipbuilding under more favorable auspices
as regular industry. The hulls Of vessels
can be made from the materials growing
close at hand, and towed over to Victoria, a
British port, to be finished, rugged and fit
ted up with materials obtained duty free,
at saving of at least S. per ton. How
much better it would be if our Pacif C ship
builders could afford to take the materials
to their vessels, instead Of towing the YES
sells to the materials.

A Singular Love Affair.

A singular love affair has recently occur
red in Portland, Me-, which, in a mild
way, is not wholly unlike the wcoing be-
tween Venus and Adonis. A lady of very
superior personal attractions, and the wife
of a man Of means, had the misfortune to
fall violently in love with young man, who
is the soul of honor and mighty good look.
ing at the same time. The woman was so
carried away by her unlawful passions as to
almost disregard the laws of propriety.-
She constantly placed herself in his way,
gave him the most tender and lingering
looks, but all to no purpose. Finally, she
secured presentation to the object of her
infatuation. 1t availed nothing, however,
as the young man was governed by the
most correct principles. Her advances
failed to meet with the faintest response -
His GOODNESS only seemed to increase her
ardor, and she fairly haunted him.
The husband Of the infatuated lady at
last was made aware of the position of af-
fairs. He loved the woman devotedly, and
instead Of treating her as she had we'll de-
served, set about to wean bis wife from the
singular attachment. Separation was the
only remedy that suggested itself He
could not well leave the city. The man
might be induced to, though he was we'll
situated. Ovcrtures were made, ard the
result was that the good looking and hon
est chap departed for parts unknown, tax
ing with him, it is said, 81, 900 in green
backs, as recompenSe for vacating So
much for graceful figure and manly face
She who loved him so well and unwisely is
declared to be quite inconsoabie, and vows
she will follow her beloved as soon as she
can ascertain his whereabouts.

rFAY 4 correspondent, writing of Salt
Lake City says: This singular town
covers an area of about nine square smiles
that is, three miles each way 1t is one
of the most beautifully laid out cities in the
world. The streets are very wide, with
water running through nearly every one of
them. Every block is surrounded with
beautiful shade trees, and almost every
house has its neat little orchard of apple,
peach, apricot, and cherry trees. In fact,
the whole nine square miles is almost one
continuous orchard.

ssa- The Dodgeville, Wis, Chronicle
tells a story of dog belonging to saloon
keeper in the village of Highland, which
is rather remarkable, not to say ludicrous.
The dog got into the habit of drinking out
of the slop bucket which catches the drip
pings from the beer keg, and thus acquired
a taste for liquor. And now he lies about
the saloon drinking every few minutes, un-
til he gets so drunk he cannot walk, and
then, stumbling into a corner, be sleeps off
the effects of his potations. \ fine picture
of your regular topper.

Tie Prohibition Observation-Disclosures

The latest evidence taken By the Massa-

ton is of remarkable character. The
following is summary, including the tes-
timony OF Professor Agassiz
Bishop Eastburn testified to the increase
Of incompetence, but did not believe in total
abstinence as a universal principle.
Rev Dr. Lambert, of Chareatown, be-
lieved the prohibitory law was contrary to
the genius IF our institutions
Rev Dr. Ellis, of Charlestown, deemed
all efforts to cree men in matters of prl-
vate habit made them more determined to
continue the practices which were assaiied
Rev. DR.. Neale of Boston, was in favor
Of the greatest possible restrictions on the
sale Of liquor
Rev. DR.. Worcester thought coercive
law was impracticable. He said he knew
nothing in the Old and New Testament
which counseled prohibitory legislation, and
he did rot think it was in harmony with the
gospel.
Rev DR.. Putnam, of Roxbury. believed
that there was IN re moderate drinking at
the present time than twenty or twenty five
years ago. He thought prohibtory law

liquor would have it, and it were better to
have a law to restrain the traffic and restrict
the evil
Rev. Joseph Tracy, Of Beverly, said that
the form OF effort for temperance in S26
and 1927 was the most efficient which bad
been employed. He did not think pro-
hibitory law was bar to moral agencies,
but that it formed an excuse fora neglect of
the use of such agencies.
Professor Agassiz said he hailed with joy
the efforts to cultivate grapes in this coun.
try, as he considered such cultivation one of
the best means of making a temperance
population he thought if the cultivation
was more general there would be no need
for prohibitory law He stated that tenn
perance societies had assisted in importing
pure wines into Norway, and that in that
country and in Denmark and Sweden, IN
Temperance had been greatly checked by the
introduction of such wines and fermented
liquors-especially beer He expressed
amazement at the interference of our gov
ernment with the modes of living of the
people. He had no doubt that our facih-
ties-especialy in Ohio, Missouri and Cali
fornia-were as favorable for wine growers
as those of Europe, and that the pursuit
might become profitable part OF our agrl-
culture and commerce.

An Incident of the Bombardment of
Fort Fisher

4 person who was in Fort Fisher during
the bombardment tells the following story
in an English magazine:
ooh! the agony of despair to see ball
and shell falling harmless from those tur-
rets Of iron, or rolling like pellets along the
low decks, while the gallant defenders of
Fort Fisher were falling in sheaves within
fertilization which would, four short
years before, have defed the efforts of any
navy-''a work, as Porter says, stronger
than anything Sebastopol could boast Of !"
One day happy shot from the fort sue
ceeded in finding its way into weak spot
of a two turreted monitor piece of iron
evidently was turned up, and jammcd the
turret Hurrah one at last disabled,
thought the poor confederates. By Jove
see two sailors quickly walk out, and set
themselves down, the one holding chiseI,
the other striking with hammer They
were cutting away the obstruction; and SO
secure was the monitor against any vital
injury being infitted on her, that, although
sienced, she would not retire from her po-
sition A swarm of southern rihemen were
thrown out to STAY the two bold federals
but no one hit them, and they worked on
calmly, until General Whiting generously
interfered. and said, Such gallant fellows
deserve to live; cease firing, my lads, at
them" So the iron was cut away"
