Parker is considered as having put him
self on the summit OF unblushing ef-

sat this very moment the tax payers
of South Carolina, State which has
been saddled since the war by Radical

nation to be made of the accounts of the
Commonwealth. While the Taxpayers
Convention OF South Carolina was in
session last May, the Radical State go:

State accounts to the public. The Con,
vention has adjourned, and now, to the
request OF committee of tho tax pay

The Burning Of an American Ship In
Liverpool.

The London Times, of August 7, says
An alarming fire, and one which termi-
mated in the destruction Of splendid
on Aug. 5. Indeed, ever since the
ships James Banes and Constitution
were burned at Liverpool, and the dis
astrous explosion which occurred on
board the African trader Lofty Sleigh,
and the Greek steamer Bubulina, 10
lives have been lost i'm the destruction
of the latter vessel, no such disaster
has occurred in the Mersey as that
which happened on Saturday. The
ship Southampton, outward bound to
New York with general cargo, con-
sisting principally of hardware, Goals,
and chemical manufactures, left the
Mersey early on Saturday morning, and
had proceeded as far as the Rock Light,
in tow of steam-tug, when some of
the crew observed smoke issuing from
the fore hatch. The alarm of fire was
at once given, and on search being
made il was discovered that the vessel
had taken fire in the fore-hold, and that
the conhagration was spreading rapidly
toward the after part Of the ship. Capt.
Smithwck, the commander, imme-
diately signa.ed TO the tug. boat to bring
the vessel round, and take her back to
Liverpool. IN the meantime an addi-
tional steam tender came alongside the
Southampton, and an extra tow line
having been attached, the ship was
taken into the Alfred half-tide dock at
Birkenhead. The most energetic meas
ures were taken to subdue the fire,
water from several hoses being poured
into the hold of the ship, but without
effect, as the flames had gained COM
plete mastery over the inside of the
ship. The fore and main masts were
the first to show signs of weakness, and
a little after o'clock they went by the
board, taking with them all the running
and standing rigging. About an hour
afterward the mizzen-mast went with
crash, and several people who were en-
gagged in endeavoring to get the fire
under had a narrow escape. All at
tempts to save the ship, however, were
fruitless, notwithstanding that the bows
of the ship had been pierced and the
water let freely into the hold, and the
vessel is now almost a complete shell.
The Southampton was very fine ship,
and was built at Damuscotta, United
States, in 1851, by Messrs. A. Stetson IL
Co. She was 1,4l7 tons register and
was owned in New York by Messrs.
Snow Il Burgess. The cause of the fire
is at present difficult to ascertain, but
the general opinion is that it originated

A Terrible Visitation.

A dispatch from st. Thomas, dated
Aug. %, says that another hurricane
has swept over that unfortunate island,
overturning every house and laying the
place in ruins. Yesterday at about
o'clock a. M, q gale broke from the
east, shortly afterward shifting to the
northeast, from which point it blew
more freely until noon, when the wind
veered round slowly to the north and
fell upon the island in terrific hurri-
cane. 1t then shifted to the northwest
and blew with great violence until 5
p. M, when there came lull which
lasted until p. m. At this hour the
hurricane again swept over the island
from the south, but its duration was not
so long as on the previous visit, nor was
its violence so great. It's term of great
est fury lasted only two hours. Closely
following i'm the wake of the hurricane
came an awful gale from the south and
and southeast, which ragged for several
hours. During the hurricane in the af
ternoon, several shocks of earthquake
rendered more dreadful the situation of
the people, who were hearing overhead
the crash of roofs torn by the hurricane,
and obliged to feel, at the same time,
under foot, the foundations of their shell
ters shaken by an earthquake. Hun
dreds of dwellings have been swept
away, and not house has been left
standing unchanged on this distressed
island. Some 5000 people have been
left houseless and destitute, and nearly
$50 persons have been killed, mangled
or disabled by the houses blown down or
the bricks and tiles flying thickly all
around during the hurricane. Already
some thirty corpses have been dragged
from under the ruins, which, in the
shape Of trees, fences shattered, houses
and heaps of bricks and tiles strewn
throughout the streets, offer Il sight of
perfect desolation.
There are no casualties to report about
the shipping here with the exception Of
British bark loaded with sugar and
riding at anchor at the mouth of this
harbor, which broke loose and went
adrift toward the rocks in the channel,
and is said to have become total
wreck. Two French steamers, recently
arrived here, drifted about and got fast
aground, but the English steamers Cor
sica. Tyre, and Della, as well as the
American steamer Florida, at anchor
here, weatnered the storm handsomely,
the latter, however, having to cut down
her masts to save her.
The Island of ST. Kits is said to be in
ruins, as it was caught first by the hur
sloane which has just passed over here.

Effects of the War i'm Metz.

A correspondent of the London
Telegraph, writing from Metz under the
date of Aug. Is, says that the results
Of the late war have produced the most
disastrous consequences upon the
French residents in the border coun-
ties. The Germans are trying to make
things look bright, but they do not sue
coed. They get up pleasant concerts,
but the natives do not attend them.
Three-fourths of the women of all elias
ses dress in black. Nearly half the
population has already emigrated and
the other half is preparing to do like
wise. Every other private house is
empty or for sale. The German shop
keepers are rapidly replacing the
natives of the soil. Though there is a
general belief among the Frenchmen
that Metz will yet be restored to France,
the inhabitants of Metz feel convinced
that no power in the world will ever
wrest Metz from the Teutonic grasp, or
induce the Emperor's fatherland to
yield it up by peaceable means"

with oak, laurel flowers and wheat. The
first six letters Of the word concorde"
are inscribed on a band on the fore
head. The band is continued and hangs
down behind the ear with pearl neck
lace around the neck. Above the bust
is large fve-pointed star, and below is
the artists name. The legend is " Re-

tains the legend, "5 Francs, 1870" in
three lines within large wreath of
branches of oak and laurel twined to-

or stop after each word. Before the
word "Liberte" is small sprig of
laurels. At the bottom is small letter

nifyng the Paris mint. The edge of
the coin is inscribed, Dieu protege in
France or "God protect France" The
weight OF the coin is "A gramines, or
80 grains. The bronze piece of ten
centimes has nearly the same design on
the diverse as the five franc piece. The
reverse contains the legend, - 10 Cent
imes,' surrounded by wreath COM
posed of one branch of laurel and one

cumspection as on the silver piece. The
edge Is plain, and the weight is lac

that the "E'' on the ten centime piece
is marked with the accent.

Terrible Disaster at Sea.
From the New York Herald, Aug. 81.


One of the most disastrous and sud.
den calamities that has occurred on the
ocean for many years, involving the
loss of ii lives, occurred to the Cunard
steamship Java on her last massage to
this city from Liverpool. The steamer
in the dark hours of the night ran into
the Norwegian bark Annita, striking
her amidships like thunderbolt, and
the Inflated vessel went down into the
depths of the ocean, carrying with her
ii lives. These poor people had no
time for prayer or petition, but were
hurled into eternity without moments
notice, and before any possible prepare
ton could have been made to save
themselves. Great excitement pre-.
vailed among the passengers on the
Java at the time Of the sad accident.
The steamer Java left Liverpool on
Saturday, the 10Th Of August, with a
full complement of passengers. Moth
ing of great moment occurred until the
night of the 23d inst, when all were
startled by the cry of imam over
board ~ The ship was stopped at once,
and with the utmost alacrity a boat was
lowered, amid great danger, as the sea
at that time was running very high.
There was half an hour Of terrible
and painful suspense, and then the boat
returned without having saved the poor
sailor. This sad accident cast gloom
over the passengers. On the night Of
the 9Th of August, about | | clock, the
saloon being full of passengers, the cry
of Hard a-port'' was heard. The
Java's engines stopped, and then came
a crash that shook the vessel from end
to end. Those who rushed out on deck
saw one half Of a large vessel on one
side and the other half on the other
side, across the quarter. Boats were
got out at once, and, after searching
carefully about, they returned, having
saved one man, from whom it was
learned that the vessel run down was
the Norwegian bark Annita, from Ports
mouth to Quebec, with ~ hands on
board, II of whom went down with the
bark 1t was for some hours matter
of doubt as to whether the Java had
not been injured, but she escaped with
the loss of her topmast and some fifty
feet of canvas. which was carried away.

A Remarkable Negro.

Down in Maryland they have a col
ored man whom they call the African
Fire King, and who would be a fortune
to any Snowman. Recently he gave an
exhibition of his "powers" to select
company. After applying red hot shovel
to the bottom of one of his feet without
making any impression on him, also
licking the shovel, still red hot, with his
tongue, without even drying the saliva
in his mouth, and taking a red hot an
thracite coal from stove, without
scorching his hand or fingers in which
he held it, he asked if there were sun
believers" present. One individual
stating that he remained unconvinced,
the Fire King, as the story goes, put
shovel in the stove and partially filled
it with shot, and when the shot got
pretty hot stirred them with his naked
fingers till the lead had melted. He
then took the shovel in his right hand
and poured the hot melted lead into his
left hand, and then poured the burning
solution into his mouth, kept it there
till it cooled, and spit it out in lump.
After this latter performance the Gun
believer expressed himself entirely
satisfied. The Fire King said "that
was only "a $50 performance; if they
would make him up $50 ne would show
them something worth seeingn

A Force of Example.

A butcher in Bridgeport, Conn.,, has
a little son three and a half years old,
and recently presented him with a
young goat; whereupon the Standard
tells story to the following effect:
"The boy had been in the habit occa-
sionally of accompanying his father to
the slaughter house, and witnessing the
process Of killing and dressing cattle for
market. The little fellow would fire.
quently seize the animals by their horns
in their last moments, and hold fast
during their struggles. The other day
he took advantage of his fathers alb
sence from the market to do a little
butchering on his own account. Call
ing the goat he slung it across his knee,
and, Selling a huge knife, he drew it
across the animals throat, cutting a
frightful cash, which nearly severed its
head from the body. There, said the
young butcher, as he stepped back from
the scene of blood, and looked on with
the utmost complacency, now kick.
A few kicks, gasp or two, and the goat
lay dead at the feet of the blood thirsty
little wretch"
