Ocean Steamship Disasters,

A DISPATCH from Oporto states that
the steamship Perseverance went
ashore, during fog, at the entrance of
the harbor, and became q total l ,ss.
Thirty persons were drowned.
The steamship Bienville was de.
stroyed by fire on the 18th of August,
while en- route from New York to AS
pinwall. Thirty of her passengers and
crew, who took to small boats, are un-
accounted for.
1HE steamship Metis, bound from
New York to Providence, was run into
by q schooner, during storm Friday
morning on Long Island Sound, and
sunk. She had on board one hundred
and fifty five persons, passengers and
crew, of whom between forty and fifty
were lost. A large number escaped in
the steamships boats, and some forty
or fifty huddied together on the hurri.
cane deck, which separated from the
hull as the steamer went down. This
drifted into the breakers at Watch Hill,
and was dashed in pieces. Most OF
those who were on it succeeded in
reaching tue shore. At last accounts
twenty-seven bodies had been recover
ed. The steamships was worth $175,-
600, and had q freight valued at $50, :
600.

Algerian Excite Piants In France.

: Exotic plants, it is stated, have besn
introduced in considerable numbers in
the central parts of France by means Of
the forage brought there during the
stay of the army. Just previous to the
investment of StrasbourR, Q botanist
examined the fodder furnished to the
French cavalry horses, and discovered
forty-four species of plants belonging
to the Mediterranean region and Alge'
ria. It was then suggested that in
vestigations should be made to ssoer-
tain whether some of these plants
would not appear in the soil. Tho ex-
aminations made in the spring of 1874
allowed that tho seeds of these plants
had taken root, and, having braved the
cold of an unusually severe winter, are
being widely propaeated, changing
arid soil into extensive meadows. These
results have been particularly observed
near Blois and Orleans, where one hun
dred and fffty:seven new species of
grasses peculiar to meadows and pas.
ture lands had taken root Some ol
the seeds had lain in the ground fos
sixteen months without suffering any
alteration in their terminating quail.
ties. The botanists think that thia
casual introduction of foreign fodder
plants should encourage combined ef'
fort to cultivate the same grasses under
more favorable oircumatanoes.

Getting on Towards an English Repub.
liz

The Londcn Spectator says: "Earl
Russell has published letter in the
Times, in which he virtually, on the
ground of the necessity of expaditing
public business, comedies Home Rule.
He says: ut appears to me that if
Ireland were allowed to elect Repre-
sentative Assembly for each of it's four
provinces of Leicester, Ulster, Munster.
and Cunnaught, and if Scotland in q
similar manner were divided into Low.
lands and Highlands, having for each
province Representative Assembly,
the wants of Ireland and Scotland
might be better provided than they are
at present" AS Wales must have its
Representative Assembly, too, and
North England, and Middle England,
and Eastern England, and Southern
England. there is n proposal for chang
ingthe United Kingdom INTO Federal
Republic. 1t would, no doubt, relieve
the central authority of much business,
but it would also relieve it of much
power also, of how much nobody
knows"

A Wisconsin BOr.ia,

Considerable excitement prevails in
Pierce county, Wis, in consequence
of the arrest Of Mrs. Charlotte Lamb,
of the town of Trlmbelle, on a charge
of having poisoned to death five per-
sons-her husband in September, 1871 !;
her son ten years old in May her
daughter eight years of age in June !;
a neighbor, Mrs. Jane Ottman, in July !;
and Royal Garland, also a aeighbor, in
August. The symptoms of the victims
were in each ease similar, and cir
eumstances connected with the death
of Garland led to the arrest of Mrs.
Lamb. The contents of Garland's
stomach we're analyzed and found to
contain strychnine. The bodies of the
other victims have been disinterred fol-
the purpose of analyzation. Upon
searching Mrs. Lambs residence q
bottle containing strychnine was found
in a bureau drawer. The motive fol
these terribles crimes is said to have
been the possession of the title to the
farm Oh which the n,urdress lived,
Still, this is mere conjecture.

Exporting Coal to Emslan1.

G. ,al which sold at London last year,
for $5.25 a ton, now commands just
$1O.50. Good judges expect the price
to reach q much higher figure. An
coal is quotad, al our seaboard
at from S3. 80 to $3.50 a ton. The Coal
and iron Record estimates that the
freight to Liverpool would be $3.50,
and the expense of Shipping, unloading,
insurance, etc., 81 ton. At the high
eat selling price here, this would
make our produce worth $11 in Liver
pool. Evidently, If the cost there con-
tinues to increase, We shall have new
export trade ere long. In that case,
We shall have to export stoves, furna-
ces, ranges, etc., inasmuch a. those of
English make are not adapted to burn
anthracite. The principal drawback
to these new branches of trade will be
strikes among the miners, which de-
range the whole con.-produc,ng indus
try, and sometimes double the price OF
the commodity in few days. The
Record believes that this objection can
be overcome within ten years, and
that we can then have regular fleet
Of ocean colliers.

A Famous Sword and its Guardian.

The Countess Of l.oudoun and Mr..
Hastings, with Lady Flora Hastings, have
arrived ut Kilmarnoek from England, on
their way to Loudoun Castle. The Coun
tess, who tsays the Glasgow Herald) is
always welcome in this neigbborhood,
was doubly so on this occasion, as her
ladys:'ip brought with her from England
the sword Of Wallace. This sword has
been preserved in Loudoun Castle from
the death Of Wallace until five years hack,
when it was removed by the late Marquis
Of Hastings to his seat in Leicestcrshire.
On the death of the Marquis in 1868 it
passed into the possession Of the present
countess. who has just brought it back to
its old homo. 1t will be remembered
that the mother of Wallace was daughter
of Loudoun, and that on the death Of his
uncle, Sir Reginald Crawford, Of Loudoun
Changed by tho English at Ayr, Wallace
had tho custody Of his only daughter,
Susannah Crawford, Of Loudoun, who
married son Of Sir Mel Campbell, of
Argyll, and was anccstress of the present
Countess of Loudoun, the hereditary GUS
todian of the sword Of William Wallace.

of coral are of the island of Galita. It
grows on rocks embedded in tho mud, and
never on those lying ON sandy and clear

The coral found on the Barbara coast is
priuciply red, but black and white, as we'll
as the much-prixed pink, aleo exist. The
latter kind is most frequently obtained
along tho Gallta and FratelIa rock banks.
The price of coral varies from l4s to FL

4 Science College for Workisgnea.

The foundation deed of Josiah Ma
sons Workingmen's Science College,
which is shortly to be erected in Bir-
mingham, England, has just been made
public. The College, munificently en-
dowed by Mr.. Mason, will be erected
in the Centre of Birmingham, on
ground purchased by the donor. In
struction is to be provided by means
of classes in mathematics, physics,
chemistry, the natural sciences (espec-
tally geology and metallurgy), botany
anG zoology, physiology, the English,
chanical drawing, and architecture.
In addition to these, the trustees may
arrange for popular or unsystematic
institution. It is = fundamental con-
dition of the institution that no lee
lures or teaching, or examination shall
be permitted on theology or any ques-
tion in its nature purely theological,
or upon any question which for the
time being shall be the subject of party
political controversy. No theological
test is to be required from any officer
or servant of tho institution, but al
appointments are to he made with sole
regard to fitness to discharge the duties
required and no trustee is to continue
to act who shall cease to be a layman
or Protestant.
By clause in the decd it is provided
that ''while no person is to be admit
ted to the benefit of the institution
who is not for the time being wholly
or principally dependent for q liveli-
hood upon his own skill or labor, or
upon the support of his parents, or
upon some other person or persons,
the poorer classes of the community
are not to be considered rs having any
exclusive right to the benefit of the
institution" As soon as the income
of the institution will allow, and as
soon as provision has been made for
the education of males, the trustees
are TO make provision for the education
of females.
