candle communicated with the hay which
formed a large part of the cargo, and in an
incredibly short space of time the whole boat
was in flames, and the terrified passengers
were rushing for safety into the turbid stream
to escape death in one shape only to meet it
in another but less cruel one. Any chances
of escape by the ordinary means of boats and
life-preservers there were none, for there was
but one small boat on board, and as far as
we know, there were no life-preservers at all
With the recklessness which prevails on the
Mississippi steamboats,, the most reckless
mode of travel of all the loose and dangerous
systems for which this country is proverbial,
the safety of human life was the last thing
thought of When we consider that the
steamboat was only two hundred yards from
the shore, and was beached in six feet Of
water at the time when the direst scenes OF
the tragedy occurred, we can readily imagine
how the presence of any appliances for safety
might have mitigated the extent of the
calamity. But there were none. Travel on
the Mississippi is the same to-day that 1t was
twenty years ago-a trap for the unfortunate
traveller, for whom the chances of life and
death are dependent upon a rough, ill-dis-
ciplined crowd of deck hands and corps OF
Indifferent officers without one drop of the
milk of human kindness in their composition.

structed after q slight ministerial crisis, O
matter of very great interest to the provin-
cial politicians and placemen, but in reality of
slight consequence to any one else. Quebec,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have all got
plenty of places. There is a premier and
ministers and secretaries as usual, and with
all the old familiar names. Canada is not
very productive in the matter of statesmen.
Earl Granville, Colonial Secretary has for
warded despatch from Downing street. Lon
don. to the Canadians The Earl wants the
colonists to look to the northwest aud con-
federate British Columbia with the territory
of the Dominion The despatch of
Earl Granville would be of conse-
quence for the consideration of the United
States Government, were it not for the facts
that the people of British Columbia do not
wish to be confederated; that the Canadians
do not possess the official talent requisite to
insure such a consummation, and that the
position assumed many years since by the late
Lieutenant General Scott on the subject of
the San Juan Island possession and the navi-
cation of the Haro channel will always render
such a movement Objectionable to the Ameri-
can people living under our flag. Earl Gran
vile looks to the establishment of "British
line of communication between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, and the founding of what
he terms "San Francisco of British North
America of which, perhaps, in our anticipa-
tion, Prince Arthur may become the king, and
that at day not very far distant This matter
requires very serious and early attention on
this side the line
BY the Atlantic cable we learn that most
estimable lady philanthropist is about to set
sail from England with a ship load of female
emigrants for Canada Here is just the
casual fortunate point Of naturalization of
Earl Granvilles North American dplomacy
for President Grant has merely to give the
wink to some of the gallant Irish veterans in
New York and ''off they go" to Canada, annex
the whole territory, marry every one Of the
emigrants and bring the whole lot, politically
and with his ''arm around her waist after
the fashion of Rory O'NGore, into the Union
before his lordship has had time to receive
the executive reply of Premier Mcdonald,

on "that line" an Irishman running for a
wife may be too quick and full of electricity
for him. Canada is in danger again

ture IN which something is required beyond
organization and machine-like industry,
Engllsh capitalists may find in italy an end
less supply OF labor such as they can disco
yer nowhere else. A factory for shirtings
would not pay, but factory for the costliest
Velvets the finest china, the most elabo-
rate decorations, the most delicate instru-

would make Italian workmen the first in the
world, as they were in the middle ages aud
the cultivation is at hand. In the cities a
passion TOR instruction has broken out and in
North and Central Italy the communes are
meeting the demand most nobly, the single
want being an adequate supply of teachers
In some towns the adults are thronging to
night schools as in Venice, where even the
gondohers are learning to read and Florence,
where unslilled laborers, cabmen, masons
assistants, and the like give two hours of
their rest to learn to read and write. and
record the calculations which even in the un-
lettered days they could always make. 1t
needs but time and quiet to make education
as universal in Italian cities as in Prussia; to
make it a shame to be ignorant, shame
under which the children already vince, and
there will be quiet. There is a new life
among the people, and with it a new habit of
order.
