fine exhibition until the wind died away, after
which the larger yachts became comparatively
u~nmanageable. The race abounded In the
SusuaIfncsdents and trialng disasters. Several
sails and ropes gave way, and the 1dler man
:aeed to create Especial excitement by ''spil.
Fsingn man overheard. Hereupon there was q
hub.bub, but when it was found that the fell
low could swim Ikea duck, and that he hailed
in profane terms those who-efered him assist
ance, he was left to his fate, which was to be
picked up by. a tug. It is more than prooaole
that, owing to the misunderstanding above
mentioned, the race will be repeated.
From England comes the news OF another
strike. but one, it seems, that is fully justified.
The operatives in one of the largest cotton
mills In Blackburn have struck, not for higher
wages, but in opposition to the practice ofin-
PRODUCING steam jets into the Work-rooms, oy
which the health of the men is made to suffer.
The origin of this practice among the cotton
manufacturers of England arose during our
civil war, when "long staple" cotton could
not easily be obtained, and, therefore, had to
be substituted by an inferior quality, which
in frosty weather, or when 1t blew a dry east
ern wind, was very difficult to manipulate.
By the advice of scientists, jets of steam
were introduced into the weaving sheds,
and 1t WAS soon found that this pro-
cess enabled the manufacturer, besides
utilizing Inferior material, to add to his
profit by increasing the weight of the
product, which, among the English jobbers
and large wholesale dealers, is always sold in
that way. For some time the operatives did
not object, under the belief that this practice
would soon be abolished. Finding 1t not only
continued, but, on the contrary, gradually ex-
tended on a still larger scale, the workmen
now demand its abandonment. They claim
that the cloud of steam is often 80 dense In
the work-rooms that they cannot see each
other at the distance of a few PAGES even, and
that the moisture completely saturates tns:-
clothes, in which condition, at the close of the
days work, they are obliged to encounter the
rigorous outdoor atmosphere on their way
home. As a natural consequence, the health
of the operatives has suffered, and a high rate
of mortality from lung diseases is reported,
particularly in the Borough of Blackburn,
whence the strike proceeds.

MAJOR E. W. SE1BELs, OF Columbia, testi-
fed before the Congressional Investigating
Committee 10 Washington on Thursday last.
The New York Times, Of the 23d, says he
made out the government OF the State to be
very bad. We have not yet seen any more
detailed account OF his testimony, but have
no doubt that the Times is correct, as Major
Seibels could not have said anything elser
he being under oath and forced to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth.

BURNING OF A THEATRE.

The correspondent of the Panama Mail
writing from Valparaiso on Dec. 10, says:-The
magnificent theatre in Santiago, erected by the
municipality at a cost of $500, 900, was totally
destroyed by fire on Thursday night. Fortu-
nately the fire broke out after the audience est-
mated at considerably above 1000 persons, who
had attended the Patti concert, had withdrawn,
or frightful loss of life would have resulted
The concert was brought to a close at IL 2. NJ,
and the alarm was given at III.
The fire broke out on the stage, and the flames
seizing with frightful rapidity upon the cur
tains, scenery, ropes, etc., soon converted that
and before the engines were In working order
the whole of the interier was prey to the de-
vouring element The exertons of the fremen
were consequently directed towards saving the
adjoining buildings, and they succeeded in their
efforts so we'll that by 2 A. NJ they were out of
all danger. The part of the building in which
the music and dresses were kept, and which was
separated from the rest of the edifice by pas
sage and wall, fortunately escaped de-
struction. The safe was also saved. With
regard to the origin of the fire several versions
are being circulated. The lessee of the theatre
Senor Curiti who with his family had a very
narrow escape, says that on letting fall the cur
tain counterpoise of the same struck a gas
tube and broke 1t, and on that account the
lights were all eXtinguished before the audi
ence bad we'll left the building. A strong odor
of gas being still observable, the lessee, in COM
panY with the light-tendeI, proceeded to ex-
anime with light the subterraneans below the
dent lessee and his companion being severely
burnt, while the flames shot up through the
opening and spread in the manner already
described.

enough why IL should nor The termination
Of their monopoly implies a promise on
their part that the interests of the State must
hereafter take precedence. The negotiations
pending with the Pennsylvania Central might
possibly include q further consolidation of nj
the lesser charters which have been shrewdly
obtained on various pretenses. The Baltimore
and Ohio capitalists claim consideration, and
behind lies the power of Congress to compel
direct communication.
Thewhole DRIFT and tone of railroad contro-
versy are towards naturalization. New Jersey
has high advantages belonging TO her wonder
ful geographical position. A new New York is
rising upon the western shores of the Hudson,
and the prospective growth seems TO be illimit-
able The pressure brought to bear upon our
State is too enormous to be resisted. 1t is the
