The Perils of the Strait. of Magellan.

The following story is told by New York
Herald correspondent at Punta Arenas:
The brigantine Proponts of Peuzance, COM
manded by an American named Barnes sailed
from Bremen, on the 18th of December last,
with an assorted cargo, consigned 10 the house
OF Gildemeister & Co. of Iquique. Her crew
consisted of the mate, German named Pingel,
and seven men, or rather five men and two boys.
Instead of taking the usual route for sailing
vessels, by rounding Cape Horn, Captain
Barnes decided that, as his vessel was a small
one and a good sailer, he would work her
through the straits, as he was personally desir-
GUS of making that passage. This is always a
matter of considerable danger however, for
sailing ships, as the s.raitsl west of Cape Fro
wardi are to narrow to admit of lacking, and
the winds are frequently very violent. By the
4th of March he had succeeded in working her
through as far as Cape Gallant, when the usual
heavy westerly winds were encountered. He
was then in part of the straits about two miles
in width, and not far from Crooked Reach, the
narrowest and most tortuous part, so he decided
| TO run into Fortescue Bay, or rather Port Gal
| laut, for an anchorage, and to await favorable
| winds. About ten O'Clock in the day, three ma.
| tive canoes, containing about fifteen Terra del
| Fuegan Indians, with three women and some
children, came alongside, aud by signs indicated
| that they wished to come aboard.
The mate informs me that he advised Capt
| Barnes not to allow them on his deck by any
| means, but the advice was UNDECIDED, and they
were all permitted to come on board The Ind
ans were coarse, brawny men, and wore nc
| clothing save sort of mantle of the skin OF
wild animals, which scanty apparel was as otter
| lying upon the deck as it was used to cover The
| bodies of the owners.
Having got on familiar terms with the ships
company, the savages took full advantage o.
the privilege extended them and became bold il
their manners and actions, appropriating sun
| dry trifng articles, making considerable noise
and performing various rude antics. Capt
Barnes seemed to apprehend no danger, how
ever, and evinced considerable amusement a
their doings. This state of affairs continued
until night approached, when they were directed
| by signs to leave the ship. Here the first rea
difficulty was encountered. They objected tC
the wishes Of the captain, and in various cum
| ming ways tried 10 remsin on board, and wert
only compelled to leave by the utmost decision
on the part Of the ships crew. All the savage
then disappeared sullenly toward the shore.
About noon on the next day, the captain tool
one OF the ships boats, with a crew of two mel
and boy, and proceeded to the shore, probably
half mile distant, saying he wished to have
look at the country. About five O'Clock til,
mate became anxious regarding the captain
long stay on shore, and, taking a telescope
went into the rigging to see if they were visible

Some of our exchanges, interested in the an
nouncement of Mrs. Julia Ward Howes nomi-
nation by the governor TO be justice of the
peace, are amusing themselves by anticipating
her success in judicial capacity. One of them
informs its readers that this office in Massachu-
sets carries with it more actual dignity and re-
sronsibility than in most other states. Another
inquiries, what can Mrs. Howe know of the nu-
merous cases growing out of political rows
and election disputes which she in time must
be called upon to decide. 1t may relieve some
of these people to learn that if Mrs. Howe's APP
pointment should be confirmed by the council,
which may have been done already though we
have not heard of it, there is very slender
probability of her performing any other official
duties than taking aff1davits and acknowledge
ments of deeds. The functions of nine-tenths
of all the justices in the state begin and
end with these simple acts, requiring
neither learning nor experience beyond
the range of any very moderately intelligent wo-
mau. Justices of the peace have no criminal,
and but very narrow civil jurisdiction, which
only very few of them ever wish or have an
opportunity to exercise, and they may also join
persons in marriage. We are not particularly in
formed what dignity or responsibility attaches
to the Office in other states. If less than in Mas
sachusetts, the burden cannot be very onerous.
Such as it is here, Mrs. Howe will have some thr
teen hundred or more colleagues in Boston to help
her bear it, and there is no doubt she will sus-
tain her proportion without detriment to her
self or to the honor of the magistracy

The moral philosopher of the New York Irl-
bune is lust now in Texas, or Whereabouts, but
he is admirably represented in New York, and
the readers of his paper will hardly miss him.
The Tribune gave nearly five columns to an ac-
count of the execution of Rulloff, made up of
the details usually found in the narratives of
such scenes. But this was not done willingly
The Tribune processes to believe that the taste
which Graves such sensations is corrupt and vi
cious and that to cultivate by gratifying it is one
of the gravest sins which journalistcan commit.
1t was not without a struggle, therefore, be-
tween its virtuous convictions and some meaner
motive that compromise was found which al
lowed the publication without sacrificing the
principle. This ingenious plan consisted in
publishing in the news columns the sensational
narrative of an ambitious reporter, with every
device to attract attention TO its horrors and ed
itorially advising readers to skip it, This is the
way it is done.
"The unusual public curiosity, and the alto
gether exceptional nature of the strange story,
force us as fair purveyors of the news, to tell
it; but we do so with the disgust and loathing
wherewith such recitals always inspire us, ddUtSe
