The gentlemen Of the rosd in Greece,
Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
authorities, appear TO carry on their
raids upon the purses and persons Of
travellers and others, with rs much dill
gence MS ever. The latest reported out
rage was upon n poor shepherd boy,
whom they held for u ransom. As his
parents we've only able to send the rob-
bers portion OF the heavy exaction,
they received in return but portion Of
the son, the brigands retaining the boys
nose and ears, The name Of the chief
of the band engaged in this affair is
Takos, who, though pursued by the
Greek soldiers, succeeded in escaping
and at last accounts, was enjoying the
mountain brcezes Of ThesSaly. Another
brignnd chief, named Cessna Coureme-
nos, notorious for his numberless crimes
had the misfortune to be captured lately.
At his trial all the charges against him
were clearly established, and those I'M
acquainted with the social condition Of
that classical land, would suppose that
quick punishment followed; but not so.
The enlightened jury acquitted the cul'
prit on the ground that his crimes
ugainst Greece, had been expiated by
his having killed three Turks in Crete,
The Hellenic authorities, however, moi
taking the same patriotic view Of tho
sacrifice on the national altar Of trio Of
the traditional enemies of Greece, de-
clined to lihcrate the modern Spartan
hero, having other charges to try him
upon, and he has probably ere this, been
made head shorter, unless popular in.

And he wished no better, and asked no more,
Than to lay It all at her feet.

So can not mate with thee
The parson be came, with his face so grave,
Gentle and sleek and prim,
Aud said the best way her soul to save
Was TO take and marry him.
But she only opened her eyes full wide,
Wondering, and quoth she,
" Vorr there never a man in the world beside
You'd be far too good for mel"
The colonel he sworo a right round oath
"Lit'lc one, be my wife
I've sears, and pension enough for both,

ing, with about 200 persons on board,
for an excursion to Fish River, about
90 miles from the city. The band and
part Of the passengers went ashore and
after the lapse of half an hour, the
whistle was blown, and all returned to
The boat. They had Just got on board,
when the boiler exploded with great
force, followed by n rumbling, kissing
sound, and fragments Of the timbers Of
the boat and the metal of the boiler
were blown in every direction. The for
ward part Of the cabin was carried away,
and the chimney fell upon the after.
cabin and crushed it. The boat sunk
almost Immediately.
Sixty or 10 persons were killed or in.
jurel by the explosion. The bodies Of
10 dead, eight Of whom are ladies', were
Mt once recovered. Many of the wound
ed have since died. The scene was mp.
palling and heartrcnding. Wilder cxhi.
billions Of grief have been seldom wit
messed. The frantic cries Of the surri-
yors, in lamcntation for their lost wives,
children, parents, brothers, and sisters,
were agonizing to the last degree. Many
Of the passengers were little children,
and little hats and bonnets came ashore
to tell of the victims beneath the waves.
II is supposed that at least 80 or 40
persons are buried in the debris Of the
wreck, or at the bottom Of the Bay.
The Ocean Wave has been .6r some
time considered an unsafe boat, and has
always been an unlpeky one. A crimi.
nal responsibility rests somewhere, and it
should be listed upon those to whose
reckleg.ness and incapacity the disaster
is attributable. The appearance of the
boiler indicated that it had yielded
through rottenness, as it had been torn
apart in long seam.

THE Persian faminc-The PCstllencc At

A specinl despatch to the New York
Herald, confirms previous reports of the
terrible rnvages OF famine and pesti-
lcnce in Persia. The Persian govern
ment has clearly an interest in under
rating the consequences of the famine,
since they have been undoubtedly the
result of its own oppressive maladmin.
istrntion. In lspahnn, city yariously
estimated at from two to five hundred
thousand people, there have been a.
900 deaths, and the mortality las not
yet diminished. The terrible record is,
however, cclipscd by the accounts from
the provinces where the famine first us
sumed alarming proportions. In Ma.
2andcrnn n very much larger percentage
of deaths has taken place; some nc.
counts, indeed, say half Of the popula-
ton have persisted. Throughout the
rice.growing provinces there has been o
complete failure of the crop, owing to
the drought. Hopes Of better reports
from these sections Of the country must
therefore be indefinitely postponed.
Large and formerly prosperous provinces
arc altogether deserted. Disease, rs
might have naturally been expected,
follows in the train Of this horrible
ilcarth, and attacks man and beast. The

Every day developes some new fcn-
turc of crime in our great cities. In
New York, few days since, nervous
woman went to the Hudson River
Railway depot in handsome coupe for
lowed hv baggage or furniture wagon,
and in which was the trunk, entirely
without marks, yet evidently not new.
On arriving ut the depot she appeared
deeply interest in the handling of her
trunk, and went so far as to pay 81 for
an extra strap to secure the lid Of the
trunk, and pnid the boy who got the
strap ten cents for his trouble. She
showed ticket to Chicago and on this
she was able TO have the trunk checked
through to Chicago, to leave on the S
p. NJ. train. She shook hands with the
driver Of the furniture wagon and bid
him good bye with evident feeling. The
trunk was placed on the platform aud n
most nnuseous OdOr was soon found to
proceed from it. The bNggngcman no.
iiced the smell and forced open the
trunk. In il he found the naked body
OF female, apparently twcnty.seven
years ofage, folded aud twisted so ms to
be confined in the narrow limits Of the
trunk, which is not Of natural size. De
composition had set in the lower por
ton of the abdomen md in the neck,
and the odor was fearful after the trunk
was opened. An examination Of the
b DIV showed that the woman was the
victim Of an abortion, and it is suppos.
ed that she was the sister Of the woman
who checked the trunk. The detectives
will have n comparatively easy task to
mruycl this mystery, since the woman
who checked the trunk and the driver Of
furniture wagon, are both known. The
body was sent to the Morgue.
