THAT NEW YEARS SUGGESTION.
EDITOR RHPuBILCAN:


1t Is not the bad-hearted man alone who
is the victim Of prejudice. Good men Inn
bibe falAe notions and speak and act ae-
cordingly, all unconscious Of any error
He who read, the souls Of humanity even to
their secret thoughts pronounced Nathaniel
to be IAN lsraelite, indeed, In whom there
was no guile" but in the same connection it
ia related how this good Nathaniel was %
prejuIiced against , certain city or town Of
his time "a to believe that from 1t nothing
but evil and vileness could emanate.
Hence, he exclaims, 'Can any good thing
come ont Of Nazareth"
But the difference between good and a
bad man Is, that the ono will not see his
error, while the other only has TO he en-
lightened to confess and abandon his mis-.
taken notions When once the words Of
the Master fell upon Nathaniel's ears he was
quick to cxclaim. 4" Rabbi. thou art the Son
of Godr'
1t may be that in these Southern regions
there are those who are AZ much prejudieed
against certain New England city AZ the
while 1t Is TO be feared there are among us
none too many Nathaniels. 1t is gratifying
to know there is at least one. Boston sug
gests that the fashionable world should he
done with the dreadful custom of offering
poison to calling friends ON New Years day;
and 3tou, Mr.. Editor, have the eandor and
independence to pronounce the suggestion
eminenuy fit to be made, and the magma
nimity to give our New England sister city
credit for making il. II there were every
where more Of that charity which is greater
than faith or hope, perhaps it would be
better for the world.
As for the suggestion itself, many q reader
of your paper will unite with me in saying
that one more timely or important could
scarcely be made. The consequences which
must result 80 long as it is continued, are
not to be depicted BY any words that human
tongue or pen can command. Why not de-
nounce it as wrong, despite the notions Of
the devOtees of fashion, and Unjust say its)
the fated devOtees Of appetite1 New Years
day is at hand. Its, therefore. fitting time
to condemn, because Of its inherent wrong.
q custom which has 40 long marred the
otherwise agreeable and eommendable
socialities Of this anniversary.
How much this habit Of "New Years treat
ing" has to do with making many partici.
pator miserable may be known to some.
Perhaps it is not 80 we'll known, or 80 much
thought of; that there ore those who love
the social greetings and reunions of the oc'
casion as dearly as their fellows can, who,
knowing their own weaknesses and liabilities
to fall, feel that they may not participate at
all, to the end that they may not be led into
temptation.
Mr.. Editor, that there are such, know.
I believe there are many in this very city
who on next New Years day viii remain at
home out of respect to their own selfpre-
seryation.
All such feel like thanking even Boston
for making the suggestion that wine and
rum be banished from the New Years side.

seconding it. 10"

probably by the axe when cutting away the
roof, and there was not the least sign Of
life manifested. RestOratives were quickly
applied, and soon the terribly injured lady
exhibited signs of returning animation.
When Mr.. Hutzler last saw her, he informs
us she was rapidly recovering and was able
to speak.
Only fifteen bodies were recovered from
the wreck. Among those known to be lost
and bodies not found is Mr.. Taylor, of
Sheridan, Missouri young gentleman
from Virginia, name unknown, en- route to

pose that few escaped without more or less
injury.
The captain and crew of the Seminole
worked manfully in rescuing the living and
the dead from the Wall, and every effort i'll
their power was used to save not only the
lives of those on board the Wall, but also
their baggage and effects. AS soon 40 the
survivors Of the wreck had had sufficient
time to collect their thoughts they extem-

Mr.. Hutzler states that no blame is attached
to the officers of the Nick Wall, but that
on the contrary they exerted Themselves
to their utmost, but the accident was of .
character that could not be avoided under
the circumstances. He accounts for the
loss of life by the great amount Of freight
loaded on the roof, which crushed it in, and
thereby. prevented many from escaping.
The Nick Wall was owned by the Carter
Line Packet Company, of St. Louis, was
valued at 81, 900, and was insured for $l5.-
900. Her cargo consisted Of three thousand
barrels of -four and large assorted freight
list for points on the Red river. The in
surance on the cargo will perhaps cover
half it's value.
