: The Ladies Church Aid Society

- The " Ladies Church Aid Society !"
of Newport, which has been very sue
cessful in raising money for one of the
churches there, is in considerable COM
motion, arising from the circumstance
that at one of the recent sociables a jug
of cider was brought by some one, into
which somebody else had put some whisk-
ey, and which had free circulation with
natural consequences, till the managers
discovered that the drink was something
stronger than applejuice and added salt
enough to spoil it as beverage. The New
port Egpress has nearly two columns of
correspondence and editorials on the sub
iect, and in the course of the latter puts
the suggestive question whether what are
termed kissing parties among young
people are worse than kissing the ladies
at " mite meetings" at five cents apiece,
to replenish depleted treasury?

MARROW ESCAPE FROM A TERRIBLE
DEATH AT SEA.-The steamship England
of the National line, on her last attempt
ed voyage from Liverpool to New York,
narrowly escaped terrible calamity, in
volving, possibly, the loss of the entire
crew and all the passengers. On the
fifth day out those of the crew working
below were suddenly driven on deck by
the presence Of offensive, suffocating
fumes. The last to reach the deck fell
senseless, their eyes almost protruding
from their sockets, their eyes wide open,
and with death imprinted on every lin
eament of their countenanees. The fumes
soon spread to the cabins, whereupon the
passengers-men, women and children
hurried to the deck in panic which re-
onired the utmost efforts of the officers
to subdue. The suffocating flames rush
ed up the hatchways, but fortunately
strong wind blew them aft, and the for.
ward deck, where were gathered the pas
sengers and crew, was comparatively free
from the terrible vapor. After much
difficulty it was found that the barrel of
bleaching powder had shifted about, and,
owing to the violent motion of the ship,
had broken open, and the powder becom-
ing mixed with the wa ter which was con-
stantly being shipped, although in small
quantities, caused the sitting fumes
In vain did the gallant sailors try 70
remove the barrels and throw them
overheard. 1t was found impossible,
and all efforts to replenish the fires
under the boilers proved equally futile.
1t was then decided to return to Queens
town under sail, and the wind now be-
ing aft the passengers were able to re-
turn to the saloons. On the meantime
every bit of metal about the ship was
fast turning to sort of white or pearl
color, and the men who had to handle
shovels, bars, OIL anything that this sedi-
ment, as it were, had accumulated upon,
soon had their hands SO badly eaten that
they cracked open and rendered them
powerless to longer work. The vessel
reached Queenstown on the Dist, where
the bleaching powder was removed by
means of graphing irons

The TENNESSEE Twice SEEN.-The
talk about the Tennessee has brought
out reports from two ship masters, who
think they have seen that vessel though
neither of them spoke her, Capt. Drum
mond of the bark +. W. Anderson, re-
ports as follows;
" | saw this vessel about II o'clock on
the night Of January 18th. 1t was the
10Th by nautical time, the 18th by land
time. First saw her masthead lights /;
do not know that she was bark-rigged
vessel; her mizzen-tops we're furled and
could not determine the vessel was
acting very strangely, and it was all we
could do to keep out of her way; she was
steering directly south she crossed our
bows within 500 feet Of us. This was
about 100 miles from Cape Hatteras A
perfect gale was blowing, and the An
derson shipped great deal of water all
that night, and labored very heavily. /
feel confident that it was the Tennessee
we saw. If she got through the storm
all right, she would certainly have put
in at Jamaica in four days, and reported
from that place"
Capt. Hopkins, of the bark Mary
Barker, which arrived at Boston on Tues
day, from Hayti, being ten days later
intelligence, reporting as follows
"Jan. %, off St. Nicholas Mole, north
west end of Hayti, saw an American
man-of-war. When first seen she was
under steam alone, but she Immediately
made sail and steered for the east end of
Cuba, under both steam and sail. The
steamer was very long and full ship rigg-
ed. The weather was fine at the time.
From the description of the steamer it
was supposed she might have been the
Tennessee, but as her course would have
been in the opposite direction, it was
concluded the vessel was some other
American man-of.war cruising in these
waters"
The navy department is of the opin-
ion that this vessel was the Tennessee
from the known position of other vessels
of the West India squadron on that
date, but is, of course, able to give no
explanation of her heading the wrong
way.

IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM ENGINES.
Mr.. J. A. Ell. Ellis of Springfield, has
for some months been engaged in max
ing several improvements in steam en-
gines, by utilizing the heat that escapes
in the exhaust steam from engines, and
in the smoke from steam boiler furnaces
He claims that it reduces the cost of
steam power full fifty per cent. We be-
lieve he has already received letters
patent for the invention and experiments
so far have been successful. The pro-
cess consists in placing a second boiler
in the chimney fue of steam boiler,
and filling it with the bisulphide of car
bon, fluid that boils at 110o Fab, and
heating this boiler by the joint action of
the smoke after it leaves the steam boiler
and the latent heat of the exhaust steam
after it leaves the engine the heat from
these two sources converts the bisulphide
of carbon into vapor very rapidly under
pressure of 60 pounds to the inch,
This vapor is used to drive second en-
CINE, in the same manner as steam, and
produces more power than the steam
engine from which the waste heat is
taken. The vapor is condensed to fluid
after leaving the engine, and pumped
into the boiler and used again continu-
ously, with very small loss of the mate
rial.
