A Sea Captains Humane Act

following anecdote from a gentle.
man who was an eyewitness of
The circumstance narrated:
The thermometer often stands
for days at from 100 to III de-
grecs in the Red Sea, and when
the vessel is with the wind, and
travelling at about the speed of the
air, the lack of any breeze or ven
tilation makes life on the steamer
almost insupportable. On this oc.
casion four men and two women
among the passengers were g o
overcome with the heat that the
ships doctor reported that they
must die if the ships course was
not changed and a breeze created
by travelling against the Wind
lhe captain very reluctantly, and
in dire fear Of his company's Or
ders, yielded to the cry of human.
ity, and steamed 100 miles back
on his course. lie thus reduced
the oppressive temperature twen-
ty degrees, ventilated his ship,
and saved The lives (proba5ly) OF
six passengers. The Government
fined the company, (who excused
the captain, although Tot without
a warning not to do it again.) .e1,.

A SAD DoAlEsno TTAGEpY.-A
peculiarly and profoundedly sad
tragedy has just occurred in
Richmond, Ky. A Mrs. James
Terrill was taken before the
County Court, discovered to be q
luna.ic, and ordered TO be sent to
the Lexington Asylum. Her ac-
tions were so dangerous to her.
self and others that it was neces.
sary to have her closely bound
While in this condition, she was
lying on the bed awaiting the ar.
rival Of the conveyance that was
to take her to the asylum, her
husband, who appears to have
been strongly attached to her.
and whose heart had been pierced
by the irremediableness of his
affliction, rushed up to where she
lay, cried out that his anguish
was more than he cou,11 lear, and
cutting his throat from ear to car
sank lifelessly at the foot of the
bed. For an instant the lunatic
ceased her rawlings aud a faint
CLEAN of intelligence shot across
her disoi dered features. Then
that last spark ofreason died out
probably forever, and, shriekine
imprccations, she was borne t1
her living tomb. This is indeed 8
domestic tragedy, the horror O.
which is not often equaled:

Newspaper .Surplements.-A deci.
sion Of some importance to newspapers
has just been rendered in the United

Many newspaper publishers have fash

that BY printing supplement a, the

In this connection we would state
that we have had an interview with
Postmaster Trott, in which his opinion
on the suiject Of The transmission of
those Supplements by mail was asked.
Without having seen the paragraph

the same views as are contained in the
decision alluded TO above. That q

Che next hundred years would play

upon our ideas, and putting them to
more commodious use." But in
one item, at least, the acme of i'm,
proyemeat is reached-telegraphy
and our Imagination cannot ask
for more. The putting ga girdle
round the earth in forty minutes {"
is already surpassed, for now mes
cages are sent from London to
Bombay, distance of six thousand
miles BY the Indo. European line.
Messages pass direct from New
York to San Francisco, over thir.
ty five hundred miles of wire.
Navigation through the air and
under the water still invites en-.
terprize to strive for more pr:cti.
cal results but already balloons
have become useful machines, and
torpedo beats haze been guided
nnaer water. IF those arc ever TO
be made of great practical value,
in peace or in war, it will wait for
the twentieth century to demon.
strate the fact. Two.thirds Of the
nineteenth has scarcely more than
transpired. The remaining TWEEN.
ty-nine years will develop all that
is valuable in either.
But it little should be left for
development of the physical sci
enccs, and for invention and art.
to the twentieth century, there is
much to be done in the grander
fields of social science, of politics
and government. 1t has become
automatic with how little wisdom
mankind is governed. When we
contemplate the inequalities in the
conditions of men-lhe burthens
of taxation on the many, the boun.
ties of special legislation to the
few, the horrors of bloody war
the craft of sycophants, the perse.
cutions of bigotry, the insolence of
official power, the delays and de
mails of justice, the thousand op.
pressions of the strong over the
weak, the mind looks hopefully
yet anxiously to the reforms an
other generation and another GEN.
tury may achieve. 1t acknowl-
edges that the science of govern
ment is yet in its infancy, at least
as to practical results.
The dreams of the optimist may
require more than the next cen.
tury to realize-more than may
ever be realized. The bloody CON.
tests of the nineteenth century
have caused oceans of blood 10
flow. Yet, though human rights
are perhaps better understood now
than during the French revolu
tion and the wars of the great
Napoleon, there is scarcely q spot
on earth. where they receive
fair recognition and practical en-
torcement. Even in England, the
-freeSt nation ON earth, the rights
OF the people arc overfaid by a
mass of antiquated usages at war
with the principles of equal Justice
and with cumbrous form of gov.
ernment which pampers a few fa.
vorcd families at the expense of
the people. We do not look for
the Universal Republic in the
twentieth century. But it is not
improbable that it will be inau-
gurated with vast reforms in gov
ernments, and that though mon
archies and crowns should not by
that time become obsolete, they
will be shorn of much of their
false glitter and their corrupt ten
den cics.

ers examined plans and estimates
submitted for the erection of the
contemplated buildings, and were
convinced that suitable ones could
not be erected for less than fifty

it was resolved to petition the
Legislature for lea, g to issue bonds
for the amount required, upon the

GIVE TIE BoYs A PATcu.-One
OF the surest methods Of attaching
a boy to the farm is to let him have
something upon it for his own
Give him a small plat of ground
to cultivate, allowing him the pro-
ceeds for his own use. Lot him
have his steers TO break or his
sheep to care for. The ownership
of even a fruit tree planted, pruned
and brought to bearing by his own
hands, will inspire him with an
interest that no mere reward OF
wages can give. In addition to
the cultivation of taste for farm
life which such a course will cul-
tivate, the practical knowledge
gained by boy will be OF the
highest value. Being interested,
he will be more observant, and
will thoroughly learn whatever is
necessary for his success. Anoth-
er and equally important advant-
age will be the accustoming him
early to feel responsibility.

liz Dr.. Livingston returns from
thls, his third tour of exploration

purpose, he will have trayersedI
both the length and breadth of Az
rlca, and the world may expect an
account of his discoveries, adven-
lures, etc., more intensely inter-
esting and exciting than any that
have ever been printed. From the.
communications we had from him
in 1868, it is evident that the chain
OF lakes he has discovered are the
source of the Nile. If this be true.
it is a remarkable confirmation of
Ptolemy's theory, given nearly II
centuries ago, respecting the rise,
OF the Nile. The Doctor says the.
country in the vicinity of these.
lakes is not a desert as is popular.
ly supposed, but abounds in veg.
citation, and in the language of the
natives, is q land of "rivers up.

prevailed heres commencing Saturday

forced the waters of the Gulf on the is.

to Galveston, with cargo of railroad
iron, went down about six miles cas-, OF
here on Sunday night.
The crew, consisting of fourteen men,
ware rescued yesterday from the mast.,
where they had been Iashed since three

LIQUID MANURE.-A barrel or
hogsbead, for liquid manure,
should be kept in a convenient
place in all gai dens. Plants can
only avail themselves of manure
in a liquid form, and valuable fer
tilizers are often lost by remaining
nndissolved in the ground too long.
Dissolve at the rate of one pound
of pure Peruvian guano, or two
pounds of dry hen manure in ten
gallons OF rain water, and apply
to your plants, say once a week =,
just at night fall or before show
er: The liquid manure should not
fall upon the leaves or stems of
plants, but should be evenly sprin-
kled over the roots, the ground
having been previously stirred o
little with q pronged hoe. If the
plants are mulched, this stirring
will not be necessary, and the
benefits of the liquid manure will
be more certainly secured.
