A SEA CAPrA1N's HUMANE ACT PUN
1sHED.-The Liberal Christian has the
following anecdote from a gentleman
who was an eyewitness OF the circum-
stance narrated:
The thermometer often stands for
days at from 100 to III degrees in the
Red Sea, and when tho vessel is with
the wind, and travelling at about the
speed of the air, the lack of any breeze
or ventilation makes life on the steamer
almost :as:rrc:..a!,ic. Ga this occasion
four men and two women among the
passengers were SO overcome with the
heat that the ships doctor reported that
they must die if the ships course were
not changed and breeze created by tra-
Yelling against the wind. The captain
very reluctantly, and in dire fear Of his
company's orders, yielded to the cry of
humanity, aud steamed 100 miles back
on his course. He thus reduced the OPP
pressiye temperature twenty degrees.
ventilated his ship, and saved the lives
(probably) OF six passengers. The Co
vernment fined the company, {who ex-
cused the captain. although not without
o warning not to do it agaiu, J 9l 900 for
going out of the prescribed route with
her Majesty's mails. II.

MAN SEVERELY BEAT. "A white man,
named Armstrong. hailing from Willis
ton. s. G.. was severely beat on the city
bridge, between and o'clock Sunday
morning; by some person as yet not To-
Gated. The whole neighborhood was
alarmed by his cries Of '..mnrder. .',"fire, =
etc., but we have heard OF no one from
this side who went to his assistance, the
beating being administered near tho
South Carolina. side. Armstrong was in
this city on Saturday, drinking freely.
and is represented as having cursed JEFF.
Davis. and pronounced Blodgett and tho
negroes tho only gentlemen ever in tho
city. He was confined IN the guafd

he received. BE returned to- this CITY

AN ACTOR KILLED ON THE SrAaE.-An
awful occurrence took place few even
ings ngo, at the Principe Umberto
Theatre, in Florence, during tho per-
formance of an equestrian spectacle,
entitled ''the Capture Of Ciprigano la
Gala. !" At the eliminating point Of the;
piece thero is grand engagement be.
tween o band Of brjgands and party Of
sharpshooters, the former stationed upon
o group OF rocks. aud the latter on the
level ground, Just as the combat was
at its height, one of the sharpshootars
fell, and'in 80 natural manner that the
act was greeted with IN enthusiastic
round OF applause. A moment after.
wsrds. however, it was plain that some.
thing had gone wrong. a couple of men
rushed upon the stage, and lifted the
body OF the PROSTATE actor, when it was
ssaa :h:! he ,as lying in pool OF gore.
Cries and shrieks arose from every
part OF the house; women tainted, and
men jumped upon the Ntage. Mean
while the orchestra continued TO play.
and many OF the performers continued
their parts, iothers rushed about in wild
confusion. At last tho manager, pale as
death, came forward, and his aspect at
once hushed the house into silence. An
untoward accident (he said) had just oc-
CURED, and the representation must at
once be brought to an end.

Senator Summers Speech.

AS was announced by himself in the
Senate last Monday, Senator Sumner
addressed that body at length upon res
olutions offered by him against the use
Of the United States navy to uphold
Baez in the attempt to sell his country
in violation of the Constitution, and in
apprehension of the alleged beligerent
acts of the executive of the United States
through the Navy on the coast Of the
island OF San Domingo.
A special dispatch to the Chicago
Journal dated ut Washington, Monday
morning, says;
"As early as o'clock, the galleries Of
tho Senate began to fill with ladies aud
gentlemen, and ut IL o'clock every parti-
Gle of available space was occupied
Mr.. Sumner appeared in the Senate
Chamber at half past IL o'clock, when
the galleries clapped their hands and
cheered him for some minutes. AS soon
as the journal was read, Mr.. Sumner,
arose and commenced his speech. The
clerk rooms leading to the Senate cham
Der were filled with Senators wives,
and unoccupied space on the floor OF the
Senate by members Of the House. The
diplomatic gallery was filed with the
foreign Ministers and their wives. No
such crowd has ever been present, even
in impeachment times"
The speech which was deliberate ar
raignment Of the President for violation
of constitutional and International law,
lasted more than three hours and conf
manded universal attention. the Chair
occasionally REFRESHING the inclination
of the galleries to applaud. At its close,
Senator Morton, who had been taking
copious notes, said he did not propose to
reply to Mr.. Sumner now, .as it would
require time and preparation, but he
would simply say that the sole object Of
the Senator's elaborate speech Was to
charge the President and at least two
members Of the Cabinet with the com
mission Of high crime and misdemean
ors. He said the report Of the Commits,
sioners sent to San Domingo to investi-
gate the matters connected with annex
alton would, he was confident, answer
large part Of the Senator's speech. and
the vindicution of the President from
all charges here made would be COM
p!ete when all the facts were known
| He added that no one need tell him that
| the Senator from Massachusetts is q
friend of liberty, or of the colored race,
when he SO industrously spent his
time in efforts to put the Democratic
party in power. The Senator could not
strike a blow at the President without
&C the same time striking at the Repub-
lican party.
Mr.. Howe commenced a reply to Mr..
Summers charges against the President
saying that he had sought the privilege
of entsring an appearance for that illus
trious respondents; he would file nc
demurrer or interpo,eany dilatorv pleas
but preferred to take the general issue.
At this point Mr.. Howe yielded fol
adjournment.
