A DESPERATE encounter between two sail
ors. the mate and deck hand Of the
schooner Japan, recently arrived at this
port, occurred on board that vessel ~yester-
day morning The former Peter Harrison
( for some trivial ceuee, assaulted Chris
tcpLer Rys1son with capstan ban, iniict-
ing wounjs.upop his head, which viii in
every prolssbili oulninate in his death.
The fraea trans piled at about ten O'Clock,
while the vessel was posing through the
channel at the Lake street bridge.
TIE pre- siotis svdnin y Capt. w. T. Young,
l.conlnan ling the vessel, discovered si4er
aleak, ald issued ordsTsto his mate, Har-
lrison. 10 set some of the hands at work. on
the pumps There was no immediate ne
cessity for pumping as the leak was small,
and the fact seems TO have occasioned
disregard Of orders. Yesterday forenoon
the Captain found that the matter had been
neglected. AID at once spoke to the mate,
who explained by Stating that he mad or
dered Ryerson to do the work, and that he
had left for shore and got drunk, returning
about daylight.
Upon this the Captain requested that the
the dilatory sailor be sent to him III the
cabin. where he would receive his wages
and be discharged. Ryerson soon learned
/ of what he was accused, and as prepare
strait at the bridge he approached Harris
son, who was at the bow hauling in the
tow line He applied several opprobrious
/ epithets, and seemed by his demeanor to
be anxious for a quarrel The mate
expostulated with him, telling
! him to retire into the hold aud take
sleep, but to no purpose. Finding that
he could not quiet the man, he turned In
sudden anger, and Selling capstan bar at
hand, dealt him two crushing blows on the
head, telling him to the deck. Shortly af-
terward the mate was approached by Capt
Young, who, seeing Ryerson lying face
! downward on the deck, caught hold of his
/ pantaloons and pushed him lside.
| Noticing some blood upon his head
/ he inquired the cause, and az once
stopped the vessel and sent for physician.
/ Policemen soon put III an appearance and
arrested both Ioung and Harrison and
took them to the armory, where they await
the result of the injuries of the victim, who
was sent to the County hospital. The
wounds of Ryerson are certainly danger

The IiavdaIaDs of New York.

Mr. Oliver Dyers article on ''The Mag
dalen's OF New York City, in Packards
Monthly for September, is quite as start
ling as The Wickedest Man in New York,
which made such sensation IN the July
and August numbers of the same magazine,
and has much more practical bearing.
According to him, there are six hundred
ana forty-seven known houses Of prostitu-
ton in New York, and he explains some Of
the hellish devices by which they are pro-
vided with inmates, In addition to the SUI =
ply which natural female immortality fur
nishes. In some cases the very parents of
tbs girls themselves profit by their shame,
and bring them up to life of vice as they
would to respectable occupation. Mr..
Dyer's discoveries, while probing into this
great ulcer of society, are Of exceeding in
terest, and deserve attentive consideration
from philanthropists. A point especially
worthy of note Is as follows:
"a large majority of these girls were once
Sabbath School scholars, and many Of them
are daughters of Christian parents. Num-
bers of them were formerly Sabbath School
teachers and members of Christian Church
es. The same painful facts have been re-
vealed by the labors of the Midnight Mis-
sion in London. OF four hundred girls
rescued from the streets and dens of vice
in London by that Mission, nearly every
one had been Sabbath School scholar OF
teacher, and their aggregate attendance at
Sabbath School amounted to one thousand
two hundred and sixty-three years-an ay-
erage of over three years to each girl.

FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. acct
dent occurred on the Erie Railway Satur-
day afternoon, BY which a me ther and her
child lost their lives. The train which left
this city at four o'clock, when within few
miles of Springwater, ran over child and
instantly killed its mother while endeavor
ing to rescue her offspring from destruc-
ton The family, it appears, live near the
track in shanty, and the father is en-
ployed on the road. The child, who was
about four years of age, had gone on the
track to play, and the mother, hearing the
noise of the cars, started out of her house
to look after the little one, and discovering
it ON the track rushed at once to its relief.
Just as she had grasped the child in her
arms the pilot of the engine struck her on
the head, whirling her into the air. The
engineer noticed the accident and whlstled
down brakes. The train was stopped and
backed down to the spot where the cas-
ualty happened, when it was found that
two lives had been lost The child was
literally cut in two lengthwise and dread
fully mangled, and the mother was also
dead, having the appearance of being
struck by the engine. ]. Rowland was the
conduct III of the train. The first the en-
gineer knew of the accident, was to see the
body OF a woman thrown to one side of the
track. Rochester, en- ~ Democrat, 18th.

The Genaine Beauty Of Middle. A ed
Woman.
From the saturday Review. !

IRON the Saturday Review.
The ideal woman of middle age under
stands the young because she has lived
with them. If mother, she has performed
her maternal duties with cheerfulness and
love There has been no giving up her
nursery to the care of a hired servant who
is expected to do for twenty pounds year
what the tremendous instinct of mothers
love could not find strength to do. When
she had children, she attended to them, in
great part, herself, and learned all about
their tempers their maladies, and the best
method of management AS they grew ND,
she was still the best friend they had-the
Providence of their young eyes, who gave
them both care and justice, both love and
guidance. Such manner of life has forced
her to forget herself. When her child lay
IL perhaps dying she had no heart and no
time to think of her own appearance, and
whether this dressing-gown was
more becoming than that; or
what did the doctor think of her
face; and what fright she must have look
ed IN the morning light after her sleepless
night of watching. The world and all its
pretty pleasures and paltry pains faded
away In the presence of the stern tragedy
Of the hour; and not the finest ball of the
season was worth thought compared to
the all-absorbing question of whether her
child slept after his draught, and whether
he ate his food with better appetite And
such life, in spite of all its cares, has
kept her young as well as unselish. As
she comes into the room with her daugh-
tiers, her kindly face unpolluted by paint,
her dress picturesque or fashionable, ac-
cording to her taste. but decent in form
and consistent in tone with her age, it is
often remarked that she looks more like
their sister than their mother This is be-
cause she is in harmony with her age, and
has not, therefore, put herself in rivalry
with them; and harmony is the
very keystone OF beauty. Her hair may
be streaked with white, the girlish firm
ness and transparency other skin has gone,
the pearly clearness of her eye is clouded,
and the slender grace of line is lost but
for all that she is beautiful, and she is in
trinsically young. What she has lost in
outside material charm-in that mere
bea'te dai diaJle of youth-she has gained in
character and expression, and not attempt
ing to simulate the attTactjveness of girl,
she keeps what nature gave her-the at
tractlveness of middle age. And as every
epoch has its own beauty if women would
but learn that truth-she is as beautiful
now as matron Of fifty, because in har-
mony with her years, and be luse her
beauty has been carried on from matter tC
spirit, as she was when a maiden of six
teen. This is the ideal woman of middle
age, met with even yet in society the
woman whom all men respect, whom all
women envy, and wonder how she does it;
and whom all the young adore, and wish
they had for an elder sister or an aunt
And the secret of it ali hes in truth, in
love, in purity, and In unselhshness.

WHAT FoRSEY SAYS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT
MArrsRs.-The Chronicle of Monday says
1t is stated on good authority that at
the meeting on Saturday the matter of pre-
scnting additional articles of impeachment
Vas discussed at length. Two of the Man
ayers submitted drafts of such articles to
the action of the entire committee, the ma
jority Of whom expressed themselves as I'M
ia''orahle to the same. The articles refer
red to contain charges based upon the evil
dence obtained by the Judiciary Commit
tee during the impeachment investigation
last year, and refer mainly to the illegal
acts of the President in attempting the re-
construction of the rebel States by the ap-
pointment Of provisional Governors, the
unauthorized payment of the same out of
Government funds, the illegal transfer of
property to the custody of such officials, the
Illegal sale and transfer of Government
property to certain parties in the South,
&c. 1t is understood that the articles will
be prepared and presented to the House
to-day, not as emanating from the Man
ayers as a body, but from the gentlemen
preparing the same. as members of the
House. In this case they can only be pre-
scented as a privileged question, and doubts
are expressed that they will be favorably
received by the majority of the House. i
not, the articles will serve to show that the
charges which Gun legitimately be made
against the President are not necessarily
confined to those included in the articles
now before the Senate"

RADICAL VINDICTvENESs.- Chicago
Republican says that as soon as the vote on
the eleventh article was announced, call
was issued for the resignation of Senator
Trumbull, and it was signed by every Radi-
cal who saw it. They claim that he has
"disgraced the Senate-proved "trai-
tor" to his party-and they therefore
call upon him to resign his place. They say
he has gone over to the enemy, and if he
has speck of honor he will resign" The
same paper closes an article as follows:
= Let the apostate be deposed from the
responsible post of chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee. He is unworthy longer
to hold a position which confers so much
power to prevent mischief. This displace-
ment is due to the State which Lyman
Irumbull has betrayed and humiliated.
DiSarm the traitor. We speak in the name
Of the Republican voters Of Chicago-the
home of this political Judas. We speak in
the name of the chagrined and mortified
Republican electors of the whole State,
who trustingly armed him with the power
which he has wickedly used to trample I'M
der his feet, amid the mire and filth of par
'lsan scheming, her most cherished and i'm
fortant interests. His name is blot upon

FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT.-Therew was
another detention of six hours of the mail
train by the Erie railway due to-day, and,
like that of yesterday, it was attended with
loss of life, for which, as towards those in
jured, the company is not responsible. :,
Near Callicoon, on the Delaware, an oil
train was switched off to side track, and
the switchman, it appears, failed to replace
the switch. At about o'clock this morn
ing the mail train came laundering along
into the rear of the oil train, whose tanks
were full, and caused great smash-up of
cars and waste Of oil, which was foated
down into the river Delaware.
Two young men had concealed them
selves on the front of the postal car to steal
a ride. One of them was instantly killed,
his head and legs being severed from the
trunk, and the other was very seriously IN
iured. The cur on which they rode tele-
scoped into the tender Of the engine.-Neu

GENERAL GRANT.-It is said that Gene
raj Grant is already showing much sensi-
tiveness in regard to the comments of the
partisan newspapers since his nomination
for the Presidency. He will not surrender
his commission until after the November
election, nor then if he should not be the
successful candidate for President. AS an
evidence of the high regard entertained for
him, his friends in Congress have not only
counselled him to this course, but have pro-
missed to keep the place Of General u
warm for him until after he has served out
his presidential term, when he will peace
fully step back into his old shoes. This
nice little arrangement is predicated upon
the supposition that the party now in power
is to have perpetual lease on the Govern
ment.-Sun letter..

NEW MODE OF COMBINING PRISONERS
Wicomico county, Maryland, is without q
jail, and the ingenuity of the Salisbury po-
lice has been taxed to devise methods for
securing culprits whose arrest law and or
der demand. The latest expedient is to re-
quest prisoner to hug tree, "and when
his arms are extended around the body OF
the tree, to secure them in that position by
means of iron bracelets. We commend this
novel mode of punishment to our county au-
thorities, as there is less danger Of the pri-
soner escaping when shackled to sturdy
tree than when confined in an insecure jail.
