TIE CAMBRIA.

Captain Caranshhn, Her Daring Commander.
Captain CaTnaghan, the commander OF the Cam
bra during the last Inflated voyage was one of the
most experienced and sktful naval officers visiting
this port. be has been in command OF vessels OF
the Anchor Line for several years, aud was thor
oughly conversant with the navigation OF the Trans
atlantic route to GLASGOW He was OF low stature,
stoutly built and having large, intelligent features
bearing the impress OF his Scotch nativity.
An instance OF his daring character was Afforded
daring the voyage of the Columbia in December,
1865 While in mid-ocean the propeller broke
loose In the shaftppe, rendering the sharp
and heavy metal blades, thus loosened, liable
TO be beaten about the stern-pOst OF the
vessel and the plates OF the counter to be stove n
the stern post torn away The only hope OF safety
rested in lashng the broken screw, hut the heavy
sea which rolling rendered this apparently i'm
possible. Captain Carnaghan, however, made the
men lower him over the taflra by rope around his
waist while he guided with his own hands the neces-
sary operations. The object was to have the lash
iDgs made fast upon the blades on both sides. The
difficulty was 10 get the bights OF the chains over
each upper blade. Fourteen times the captain was
lowered into the waves before he succeeded.
The friends OF Captain Carnaghan In this city
showed their appreciation OF his daring on this
sion by giving him in March, 1869, a valuable silver
wine set. which formally presented by the Rev.
Dr. Street, in presence OF numerous friends, on
board the Columbia.-N y. Tribune

BALTIMORE, Oct. 22.-The reports of the ILL

nor has he been seriously ILL., He was not very
well when here, but no apprehensions were felt
by himself or friends about the matter. Advices

the story of paralysis and state that he is not at

The Revolution-Probable Assassination of


Letters from Port-au Prince, by way of st. Tho
mas, addressed to responsible parties render it pro-
bable that Baez has been assassnated. such an
occurrence would inaugurate another revolution in
the island Of San Domingo. The letters were writ
len at Port october s, at the last moment
of closing the mails They state that Daez has dis
appeared from San Domingo city. Whether he has
fed or was assassnated, is as yet uncertain.
One writer alleged that BaeZ has committed sui
eide on account of the withdrawal of the American
protectorate and the embarrassing position into
which he had fallen thereby. Another says:-"A
6eputation has just arrived to wait upon Mr.. W.
Demonte to request him TO accept the Presidential

SAN DOMINGO.
The Reported y cath of Bueuaventura Baez,
President Of San domingo.

The Rspegted, y cath Of Buenayentura Bsez,
We publish to-day advices from San Domingo
which render IL probable that the turbulent career
of President Baez has been brought to q sudden and
violent termination. Buenaventura Baez was a
mulatto, and was born at Azua 10 the year 1920. His
father had taken an active part in
the linsurrection OF 1s0s, and young Baez
was thus born into public life his unquestionable
talents not less than the great wealth of his family
contributing largely to his rise to important and
sponsble positions. When Jimenes was elected
President Of San Domingo in 1s49, TO succeed San.
tana, he entered into conspiracy with Soulouque,
the Haytien Emperor, who invaded the
republic at the head of 10000 men, but
was Overwhelmingly defeated by Santana
on the 22d Of April. Baez had been the most int-
mate friend Of Santana and at the close OF the
was elected the constitutional President, position
for which he was mainly indebted to the influence
of Santana In 1850 he was called upon to repel
another invasion by Soulouque, and in 1S53 having
during the latter part OF his term favored the cer
cal party, he defeated for re election. Santana,
his successful competitor he quarreled with, as
matter OF course.
In 1866, Santana had become so unpopular that he
was obliged to retire before the expiration of his
term and Baez was the second time elected to the
Presidency, which he assumed october 6. But dis
satisfaction widespread, and Santana success
fully headed a revolution by which he was driven
from power and forced to leave the country, June
IL, 1868. Santana again became President, but he
betrayed the republic, and the Spanish invasion fol-
lowed.
After the country had passed through terrible
vicissitudes, Baez returned from his exile in France
in the latter part 1865 and the third time was
proclaimed President of the turbulent republic.
In June, 1885, he was again driven from power by
Pimental, but only to be restored in January, 1868.
Since that time he had maintained himself at the
head of affairs, but obliged to encounter ser-
ous nsurrection headed by Cabral aud other turbu-
lent spirits Negotiations for the lease OF Samana
Bay TO the United States and also for the annexa-
ton of the entire republic, were entered into by
BaeZ, the circumstances attending these negotia-
tons being OF too recent to need repeti
tion in detail. But before these could be completed
there has been another turn in the wheel of fortune
and even II President Baez has not met with vio-
lent DEATH as reported, the country has again been
given over to anarchy

Z a Sketch From Nature.

Friday, January seventh, wo spent in the
country-Birdie, husband and l. Returning
home, we stopped at Willow Ford, to water
the horses. The day had been very warm and
spring like, and the sunset was, accordingly,
glorious. rs the horses were lazily quaffing
the clear, cold water, it was a double pleasure
to look upon the surrounding panorama OF
beauty, and listen to the soothing music Of an
adjacent waterfall. Behind US, were tho blue
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. US, and on our left, the dis
tant prospect was Shut oat by foreground OF
bold limestone bluffs, adorned with egergreens,
and the graceful wild grape: also by rows Of
grand old water-wlllows, whose rugged trunks,
and long, naked branches we're faithfully PEN
ciled against the bright sky -.
On our right, the view upstream was soon
terminated By a sudden bend, while across the
river, the smooth meadows, and gentle up
lands, offered nc obstacle to the uninterrupted
aud perfect reflection of the heavens, upon the
bosom of the broad, deep ford. The glisten-
Ing waves, ever coming, ever going, resembed
mass Of floating sea-shels SO softly tinted,
so exquisitely shaded were they, in rose, Grim
son, purple, gold and blue. The sky, the cause
of this enchanting effect, was itself magnif-
cent study. Next the horizon, the hand of
the Master Artist had painted broad belt of
creamy white on the upper edge, successive
bands of straw color, yellow, and deep orange );
the orange faded into the faintest pink the
pink blushcd carmne; the carmine, crimson;
and the crimson. finally deepened into royal
purple, that melted away and was lost in the
delicious azure Of the clear sky above
gazed spell bound, and thought, ''Can Italy
boast a scene more brilliant, more charming
than this nld-winter sunset in the Valley of
Virginia. +" LILY ILCHEN.
