The Lost Sea Bird.
From the Chicago PM


It is DOW nearly ten weeks since the fear.
ful disaster which resulted IN the loss q
the fine steamer Sea Bird with all but
three Of her passengers aud crew probably
seventy FIVE or mora in number. Since
that terrible 9th d April only one body
ias been recovered and TO this was found
sftsehed q portion Of life prcseryer..
which had prevented tho wcarer from
sinking so deep that the pressure Of the
water could prevent il from rising, as waa
the case with all the others who left the
boat and were lost. Soon after the disas>.
ter, Mr.. Wright, the agent Of Goodrich {
line went out with boat and cruiSed
around the spot where the Sea Bird was
seen te GO down, until by means of draes
he found her hull, which lies in about
twenty feet OF water, not very far frOM
the shore, having drifted soine distance
from the spot where she took fire, and
whers the water is probably one hun,
dred feet deep Il is Captein Goodrich's
intention, rs soon as the weather becomes
fairly settled, to send out divers to visi,
the wreck and recover any bodies which
may be found. and also the safe and other
valuables II is thought that the boiler
can be raised BY stopping up the openings
and filling it with air, so that it will require
little force to lift it. The result of the ex ;
rloration of the wreck will be await. d.
with. deep interest by those whoae friends
were among the loet, and whose bodies
may, in many cas- 8, be found audrs

sa-The House bill continuing the
Freedmen Bureau one year from July.
rext, the date of it's expiration by tbs last
law, was introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Wilson, on Thursday, and passed without 8
division with few unimportant amend
ments. The bill directs that the functions
of the Bursal shall be re established whers
they have been discontinued. if the Score
tary of War shall deem proper, and the same
officer shal! nave power also to discontinue
the Bureau iu any state whenever tbs
same shall be again admitted and rep,
resented in Congress. The educational
division of the Bureau is not to be.
interft red with until provision for tha
education of the blacks is made by the
states indicated. Thus the iaborirg
white people of the country are doomed
to continue sweating for tho support Of
negreef, abundantly able to earn their own
fodder. Negro freedom is an expensive
luxury, but it is glorious thing; and We
trust that the republican farmers and
mech hanics will appreciate the privilege
of paying negro board hills.-Beauer Dam

How ARE The MIeHrY FALLEN!-


How ARE The MIGHTY FALLEN i
A few years ago Grant enjoyed . national
popularity. 1t was distance, however,
that masniGed his proportions. Placed
in the focus of Washington, men soon
saw how small was bis Stature. He had
owed his fame as general, to the prodigal
expenditure of the lives OF his soldiers. He
wasted the reputation SO dearly pought !;
and when be stopped to deception in his
intercourse With johnson. his name sank
to the level ofthe lowest politician at the
capitol When he used his influence and
power to procure an unjust verdict, and the
deposal of the chief whom he had be-
.rayed, his reputation as public man
ended.
His party sunk as rapidly; and at the
end it was fitting that this ruined reputa-
ton should be coupled with the fortunes OF
this broken party aud both sink togethre.

NARROW ESCAPE Last Sunday morn
ing as the propeller Otaaoa was coming
alongside the pier, young woman named
Dawson, about 1S years of age, who was
standing near the edge Of the pier, was
suddenly taken with fit, and, before her
friends could come to her assistance, fell
into the lake, between the steamer aud the
dock Two or three men, who witnessed
the occurrence, promptly descended on the
piles, and rescued her before she sank.
Miss Dawson, with her family, was waiting
to take passage on the Ottd,ca to Racine.
She was not injured by this sudden and
unexpected bath, and the family proceeded
to their destination.

beyond the opening of the seams, which
caused her to leak so badly that the steam
pump could not keep her free, and she was
kept atioat mainly by hold full of cedar

making necessary repairs will probably
reach $4,000.

GAN, the murderer Of his brother, was Sc
creting himself in the woods few miles
east of here, and had been seen several
times in company with his son, lad of
about IA. Search has been made, but
without success, and it is likely there is NO
truth in the report. IT,
The report is not regarded here as in>
probe. 1t is the belief of those who are
most interested in appreLending the mur-
dercr, that HOGAN has not yet gone, far
from the scene of his great crime. The
opinion seems to be general that he is in
hiding somewhere in the vicinity of Green
Bay or Depere.

make the occasion one of pleasant remem-
brance. The Declaration Of Independence
will be read and patriotic speeches made,
but the greater portion of the day will be
devoted to innocent amusements and social
enjoyment. A good band of music has
been engaged, and there will be an abun
dance of refreshments on hand. A general
invitation is extended to all to participate
in the festivities of the day, and we fee
safe in predicting that the Fourth will not
pass off more pleasantly anywhere than at
the picnic of St. Patrick Church.
Should the weather prove unfavorable
on the Fourth, the picnic will be held or
