BALTIMORE, Monday, March IA. - Messrs.
Editors Baltimore ADaericdn:-The first act in
the life of Midshipman Edward P. Williams, late
commander of the Inflated Oneida, was
to save the captain and crew of the
British ship Cleopatra, off st. John, N.
B., in the year 1853, while Mr.. Williams
was attached to the United States sloop -of-war
Decatur. was gunner of the Decatur, and Mr..
Williams and Mr.. Lewis A. Kimberly (now
commander) were also attached to her. On the
night of the 2Sth of July, 1858, we fell in with
the English ship Cleopatra, from Liverpool
bound to Quebec, in sinking condition. Mid
shipmen Kimberly and Williams volunteered to
go aboard of her with crew of fresh men,
and try to save her and get her into Que
bee, but she filled and capsized, and had
to be abandoned. 1t was dark, stormy
night, and after much danger and exposure the
officers of the Inflated ship were got on board
| our ship with safety. Midshipman K. p. Will
liams was in charge of the boat that brought
them them to us, and upon getting on board Captain
William Q. Whittle asked If all were safe
Williams replied;--'I have saved every soul,
sir!" And he had. inclose letter written by
the English captain to Captain Whittle after his
arrival on board our ship. You will see 1t is

Insurance Suit.

Anna L. Burroughs vs. The North American
Life and Accident Insurance Company, formerly
the North American Transit Insurance Com
pany. This is an action upon $4,000 policy of
insurance effected in September, 1866, by Garnet
Burroughs, deceased, payable to his widow, the
plaintiff in this case.
1t is alleged that in September, 1867, during a
visit to a relative near Trenton, New Jersey, Mr..
Garrett accidentally fell upon pitchfork, which
inflicted such wounds in his stomach that he
died four days afterwards. Upon his death the
policy became payable to his wife, which, how
ever, was refused upon demand, and hence this
sniff follows. On trial,

LONDON, March 17.-At noon yesterday a
copy of private telegram was handed to me by
the Government Superintendent of the Stock
Exchange Telegraph Office, announcing the
arrival of the steamship City of Boston at
Queenstown, in tow of the City of Durham.
The despatch had reached London via Man
chester, a course not uRusual in case of gorge
on the direct Liverpool lines. The news was
accepted here without question, and the widest
enthusiasm was manifested on the Exchanges
of Liverpool, and excited crowds gathered under
the windows of Inmans office, and equal excite
ment and enthusiasm pervaded all the Ex-
changes of London.
The evening papers, even rs late as z z. M,
published the announcement of the steamers
arrival as an undoubted fact. Having tele-
graphed you the news as furnished me thus
apparently from reliable authority, sent off
dispatches to Queenstown and Liverpool, seek
ing confirmation and details.
The fact that Inman's lookout at Queenstown
had not heard of the City of Boston sent to
you, and you received it hours before any doubt
existed in London or on the Continent as to the
safety of the vessel.

Miscellany.
Greeley on Greeley.

AT the Saratoga scramble. the other
evening, Mr.. Greeley's remarks were per-
sonal rather than political and of unusual
interest. 1t is commonly believed, said
he, that the life of an active politician
leads him to grasp some temporary reward
or ggrandizement, but that the end of it
is dust and ashes. l wish to give my
testimony as that of one nearly sixty years
of age, and who for forty years has been
actively engaged IN political strife, and
that without holding office or attaining
wealth or position, that feel that my ca
reer has been satisfactory one. | rejoice
to think that my pen has had some little
influence in efectually settling some of the
great questions of the age | rejoicingly
feel that, if my name shall be known
at all in the next century, men will say
of me, HHe was one of those who fought
against human slavery until human slav-
cry disappeared from this country" This
is to me a proud satifaction-that, in the
turmoil and tumult of political strife,
there has been something more than mere
agitation. | feel also that the great
subject OF popular education has made
substantial progress in my timc---progress
in that which | feel sure is in the right di-
rection. Whether | have or have not
children, it is my interest that all child
rem should be educated. Then as to the
great temperance reform, probably not
yet comprehended, even by its advocates.
When think of the large proportion Of
the American people who have banded
themselves together in common resolve
not to drink and not to incte others to
drink, because they believe our country
better without strong drink than with it,
feel that there is in such action not a
moral purpose merely, but moral atti.
tude which may we'll challenge the admi-
ration Of the intelligent and rejecting. II
proves that there is in republiclike ours

provement which will tend ever tc

After all--would the reader believe it
the "san Juan bihieully as it is so
gracefully termed in these parts, has aris-

Britain claimed Oregon north of the Col

all south of latitude 54-40. In 1916
that grand compromise called the Ashbur-

only one channel between the main land
and Vancouver Islaid. At the time, the

Lighting up the darkest wave,
When temptations breakers threaten
And no arm is nigh to save,

Brightly beams signal light;

Fed by drops of pure devotion
Burns the gentle taper love-
