FROM the testimony taken in the Metis in

boats lowered when the vessel was found to
be sinking, only one struck the water right
The other three, owing to the carelessness or
awkwardness of those who attempted 10
launch them, were at once capslzed. Inc
same thing is to be remarked on almost every
similar disaster. The inquiry naturally sug-
gests itself. why are not the ere VS. OF passen-
ger-carrying vessels drilled in this duty so as
to be able to launch boat properly when the
time comes? Unless this can be done, there
is no great use in having boats at all. Had
the crew of the Metis, thoroughly instructed
beforehand in what they had to do, been told
off in details for each of these four boats, the
loss of life would in all probability have been
very much less. But it seems to have been
nobody's duty in particular to attend to these
things, so the boats were swamped, while the
life-raft, capable of floating forty persons, was
not launched at ALL 1t is not practicable, mol
perhaps desirable, to have man-of-war disci-
pine on Sound steamer; but it is surely
possible to secure more intelligent division
of labor, and more perfect subordnation
than appears to have existed ON the Inflated

SMALL FOX IN Observation-Disclosures
the reticence of most of the Boston newspapers
it seems to be pretty well established fact
that that awful disease, the small pox is raging
in that city to the extent of almost an epidemic,
and the Board of Health have been criminal
in their disregard of the ordinary methods for
caring for the existing cases and preventing
the spread of the malady. The disease exists
in all quarters of the city proper, South and
East Boston and Charlestown, and the Neaos
says it has spread to an astonishing extent.
The Neaos says: +........-. ++s.f
The North End embraces the largest number
of cases, nor is it surprising when it is known
how the inhabitants thereof live. 1t is not sur
prising that there is a constant epidemic in
some parts of North, Commercial, Tileston,
Charter, Webster and Unity streets and Web
ster Place and Court, Unity Place and Webster
Court, and many other localities, where the
houses are not fit for animals to live in. Some
of them are back from the street one hundred
and fifty feet and are reached by, passages
under the houses fronting on the street
These passages are reeking with filth, stag
nant water stands in them for weeks and dead
cats and rats are thrown into them to add to
the awful stencil that issues from them. Some
of these houses afford homes for seventy-five
families, with an average of two hundred and
fifty children of all ages The yards of the houses
are in as filthy condition as the passage way.
Hearses have been known to convey the bodies
of small pox victims to their last resting place.

1T is no sure sign of waning interest in a
pastors ministratiOns that the people do not
keep up perpetual jubilation over him. The
pastor should not SO interpret it, neither
should those "pillars" who are especially
anxious that the church should prosper. 1t
is not in human nature to be jubilant, or par
ticularly demonstrative, all the time. The
main thing for people to do is to discharge
their pecuniary obligations to a pastor with
cheerful promptuess, and heartily cooperate
with him in every department of his work.
There is many pastor whose heart would be
made glad, and his hands strong, if those
with whom he labors would do as much as

SUNDAY CARs-A case was tried in the SUI
perior Criminal Court in Boston on Thursday,
which settles, so far as that State is concerned,
at least, the question of tbs legality of Sunday
trains. A passenger, one Sunday in Jnne, got
aboard train on the Old Colony road without
purchasing a ticket. He rendered the conduc-
tor the schedule price of the ticket, which was
refused, the conductor demanding the extra ten
cents. The passenger refused to pay it and
suit was brought to recover the fare. On the tri-
al the defendants counsel asked the court to in
struct the jury to return verdict of not guilty
on the legal ground that the corporation had no
right to exact the extra fare, as stated by their
rule, and also that the running of trains of cars
on Sunday, except for necessity or charity, was
contrary to law, and they could not make a
contract flor any purpose on that day. The
judge held that on the first point the road had
perfect authority to make any arrangements in
regard to their fares they pleased, but on the
other question he ruled that the running of
trains on Sunday and exacting fares therefor
was clearly illegal, and he therefore should Or
der verdict of not guilty, as asked for. Such
a verdict was accordingly rendered.

IMPORTANT BANK SUIT.-One of the private
losers by the Baltimore Bank robbery has TAX
en- steps to test the liability for special deposits
William A. Boyd of Baltimore, has brought
suit in the Superior Court of that city against
the Third National Bank for damages sustain
ed by the failure of said bank to deliver $21 500
in United States fve-twenty bonds and $500
in Hudson county, N. Y, bonds, deposited, as
claimed by Mr.. Boyd, as collateral security
against any account which might be presented
against him. This demand was made on Sept
18th, the day after the robbery of the bank, at
which time no debt was due by the deposition
The bank, it is understood, denies the claim of
Mr.. Boyd, ON the ground that the bonds were
simply left with the bank for safe keeping, and
that they were not at the time of the robbery
held as collateral security. -.
