Burning of all Emigrant Ship-Oyer One
Hundred Passengers Lost.

a very sad occurrence is reported at
Rlo de Janelro, the burning of an emf.
grant ship, and the consequent loss of over
one hundred passengers on board The
particulars of the terrible catastrophe are
gwen by the captain of the French bark
Adele Louise, who succeeded in saving
some OF the persons Of the Inflated vessel
the Manin Barravlno-on its way from
Genoa to Montevidio, with 12S passengers
and p OF crew. On the Dist of july.
when abreast of Rio .Janeiro the Adele
Louise sighted the Barravino in flames,
some distance astern, and at once went to
her assistance. What followed is thus de-
scrlbed: The spectacle presented by the
burning ship was extremely awful; the
cries of the passengers, the flames leaping
up on all sides, the women shrieking fran
tically, some of them jumping overheard.
others holding on by the chain and bow Of
the vessel, forming a scene of disaster and
confusion that battles description. One
boat that was lowered was speedily filled
with people crowding into her and went
down. 1t was almost impossible to render
assistance, but the bark succeeded in tax
ing of eight persons including captain and
mate. The schooner Mary, from London
to Australia, also happened to pass, and
rescued ten more, whom she transhipped
to the Adele Louise The remainder, I23
IN number, persisted. 1t seems that the
confagration broke out in the chimney of
the cooking galley, and spread to a large
number OF chairs that formed part of the
cargo: The passengers and crew imme-
diately became panic>stricken, and, in
the absence OF discipline, the captain was
unable to take effectivc measures to sup
press the flames, or to save the lives Of
those on beard.

Expenditures of the Year.

According to the statement which Re-
publican politicians have concocted, and
are now printing, and re!ersing from the
stump, the appropriations for the current
fiscal year for tho ordinary expenses of the
government are Sl5S, 5000, 900.
The deficiency bills for the last fiscal year
were $4,000, 900. There are IS, 600, 600
of unexpected balances in the treasury,
which, judging by the past, and the posi-
ton taken by the Attorney Generals office,
will be swallowed during the year, and
which 90 not appear in the appropriations
Taking the last year as criterion for
judgment, let us see how the administration
will get through the currcnt fiscal year on
the appropriations as they now stand

Republicans will say that the solicitor of
the treasury has decided that the unex.
pended balances cannot be touched By any
of the departments, in the absence of an
appropriation byCongress authorizing their
employment. This ought to be so, and it
is to be hoped that the solicitor vii! remain
firm, and guard those funds; but as a diff
erent opinion has come from the Attorney
General office, and as in one or two of the
departments the appropriations for certain
objects necessary to be carried forward have
already given out, and there is deter
mined effort to obtain possession of the bal
ances, there is nota hopeful prospect of
saving them. Should they be saved, the
fact will only swell the deficiency bill at the
next session. From the figures above
given, it will appear that the ordinary ex>
penses of the government for the current
fiscal year will be within $4,000, 900 of
three times the amount that they were un>
der the last year of Buchanan administra-
ton Chicago Times.

FEARFUL VENGEANCE OF A HUSBAND. "A
correspondent of the New York Times, wri-
ting from Havana, July 9th, says
Some time during the month of Nav, a
party of five robbers made their appearance
at plantation, possessed themselves of sew
eral good horses, taking also various articles
of clothing belonging to an American engin-
eer on the plantation, and then disappeared.
The engineer, who was in Havana at the
time, became furious ON his return, and in
dulged in severe threats against the perpe-
traitors of the robberies. Some friend of the
bandits communicated these threats to them,
and "a few days later they again appeared
took the engineer by surprise, tied hm hand
and foot, and then proceeded to lash him
with whips and thongs until the man had
tainted three times from loss of blood and
pain. They then tied him up on chair be-
fore his dwelling, and two of the number
walked into the house and violated his wife
Since then the engineer has been almost a
maniac and bent OF revenge. Last Friday
he received information that the two bandits
were then at neighboring plantation, and
"i'iout "uN iSHiS any bouN Vi HlS HltllllOIS
he armed himself and had the good fortune
to find both of them lying on the floor in an
inebriated condition. TO tie them up and
rouse them sufficiently to understand the sit
uation, occupied but little time, and with the
help of some negroes he brought them to his
own place, ordered fires to be lit, and then
threw both of them into big sugar kettles
filed with water, which soon began to boil
The men lived fifteen to twenty minutes, un-
til the water began to boil Their attempts
to throw themselves out of the kettles and
their demands for water and cries for pity,
were heart-rending, but their executoner
took fiendish delight in throwing in, occa-
sionally, little cool water, which, however,
in a moment began to boil again At the
end of twenty-five minutes both had ceased
to exist. When the fact was mentioned to
the Captain General, he remarked: 81 don't
wish to know it, and if such thing has hap
pened, fully approve of it as a man, but as
Captain General, have so far no knowledge
of the matter. Beasts in human shape must
be treated as beasts, although the punish
ment was inhuman and cruel;" and so the
matter rests. The engineer has returned to
his plantation, and swears not to rest until
he has caught the other three. Some Span
iards attempt to call these bandits insurgents,
but this is mere subterfuge, as all of these
robbers were criminals long before the war,
and exercised their nefarious profession then
and since without the least reference to poll
tics, and in addition, these bands are com
posed of Cubans, Spaniards and negroes

RESULT OF SITTING ON BEER BARREL. -
The Schenectady star tells this: "This
morning brewer wagon from Albany, load
ed with barrels of ale, was proceeding along
in the vicinity of Timeson's Hotel, in the
upper portion of State street. The gentle
man who had charge of it was sunny-hair-
ed youth, weighing about one hundred and
seventy-fve pounds. Looking around, he
discovered that one of the barrels had be-
come displaced somehow, and stopping his
mules, he prepared to place it in its proper
position. To do this he had to step over an
other barrel. (This is where the tears come
in.) Just at that critical moment the head
of the straddled barrel flew out and the
force of the lively beer sent the man about
six feet into the air. A party of workmen
employed near by rushed with pals to Sc
cure the precious flood, but they only sue,
ceeded in catching one pailful. The gentle
man who took the aerial ascension came down
after while exceedingly soaked. An old
hummer wanted to chew his clothes, but the
request was denied Gentlemen will take
warning and be careful after this how they
sit around on beer barrels"

A SERMON FOR YOUNG FOLKS.

Don't ever 60 hunting for pleasures
They cannot be found thus, l know
Nor yet fall a-digging for treasures,
Unless with the spade and the hoe.
The bee has to work for the honey,
The drone has no right to the feed,
And he who has not earned his money
Will get of his money no good.
The ant builds her house with her labor,
The squirrel looks out for his mast,
And he who depends on his neighbor
Will never have friends, first or last.
In short, It's no better than thieving,
Though thief is hard name to call
Good things to be always receiving,
And never give back at all.
And do not put off till tomorrow,
The thing that you ought to do row,
But first set the share in the furrow,
And then set your hand to the plow.
The time is too short to be waiting,
The day maketh haste to the night,
And it, just as hard work to be hating
Your work as to do it outright.
Know this, too, before you are older
And all the fresh morning is gone
Who puts to the world S wheel Il shoulder
IL he that will move the world on
Don't weary out aciW with delaying,
And when you are crowded don't stop;
Believe me there's truth in the saying
There always is room at the top
To conscience and to man be true
Keep faith, hope and love in your breast
And when you have done all you can do,
Why them you may trust tor the rest.

BUTTER WITHOUT CHURNING.--A cor
respondent of the Hearth and Home says:
AT the house in the country where board,
the landlady has a handsome and valuable
COW, and is in the habit of making a few
pounds of choice butter two or three times
week. The process is new to me- though
it may not be to others; it is this:
The cream is placed in large earthen bowl,
and stirred with a long-handled spoon for q
short generally not more than four or
five minutes, and the result is lump Of
delicious butter, weighing three or four
pounds. No dasher, no ehurn, but the lady
takes the bowl of cream on her knee, and
begins to stir gently the rich mass and as
you look on for a few minutes, behold the
