THE FIVE WEDDINGS.

Wooden, tin. silver and golden we'd
dings, mark the fifth, tenth, twenty
Eth, and fftieth anniversaries of mat
rimony. There is, we believe, glass
wedding also, bus that is an innova-
fion for nothing IS brittle as glass
should be used commemorative of the
nuptial tie. One might suppose a
wooden wedding and tin wedding
were necessarily cheap affairs. They
can be given economically. but are
not necessarily 50 by any means. For
instance, tin wedding was given in
Providence at which the bride appear
ed in dress festooned with tin chains,
a tin belt, and a tin veil enyeloping
her person. The groom wore tin
dress-cost, tin shoes, tin hat, tin watch,
etc.
At silver wedding, lately in New
York, the wife received from her hus-
band present Of breastpin, the cen
trail stone diamond, representing the
wife-mother; around this ten pearls,
numerically representing the children,
all these encircled by twenty-five far
necs, indicative OF the twenty-ffth an
niyersary of their marriage, and the
whole surrounded by fifty diamonds,
signifying the age of the husband.
A wooden wedding can be very
tasteful affair. Lately wooden wed
ding in Utica, was given by a happy
five years wife, native of Cleveland,
in which the rooms were ornamented
with festoons of shavings, pictures
decorated with shavings' notices in
scribed on the walls with shavings,
the effect of which was exquisitely
tasteful and unique. The presents of
course were wooden and in such var
iety-from knot-chopping bowl to
an elaborately carved paper-cutter,
from rooling-pin to an exeuisitely
finished parlor bracket-as to excite
ones SPECIAL wonder that so many
useful and ornamental things can be
made from wood.

THE LIBERAL REPUBiacAxs.

Following is the platform adopted
by the late Liberal Republican Con-
vention of Missouri:
Resolced, That the STAINLESS abuse
of the Government patronage for the
control of conventions and elections,
whether in the interest of an indigid.
ual, faction or party, with the con-
sequent corruption and generalization
of political life, demands thorough
and genuine reform of the public SER
vice; those who would suppress inves-
tigation forget that they owe higher
duty to the country than to any party.
We honor those Senators whose cour-
ageous course has compelled the dis
closure of grave misdeeds. and they
deserve the thanks and hearty support
of all good citizens.
Resolced, That local selfgovern-
ment, with impartial suffrage, will
guard the rights'pf all citizens more
securely than any centralized authori-
ty; that it is time to stop the growing
encroachment ofthe Executive power,
the use of coercion or bribery to rati-
fy treaty, the packing OF a Supreme
Court to relieve rich corporations,
the seating of members of Congress
not elected by the people, the resort
to unconstitutional laws to cure Ku.
Klux disorder, irreligion. or intern
perance, and the surrender of individ.
ual freedom to those who ask that the
practice or creed of some shall be the
law of all; that we demand for the in.
dividual the largest liberty consistent
with public order, for the State self
government. and the nation a return
to the methods of peace and constitu
tional limitations of power
Resolued, That true Republicanism
makes it not the less our duty to ex-
pose corruption, denounce the usur
patton Of power, and work for reform.
necessary for the public welfare. The
times demand an uprising of honest
citizens to sweep from power the mer
who prostitute the name of an honor
ed party to selfish interests.

A POLITICAL CATECHISM.

In view of the demand for female
suffrage (says the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin. it is proposed that the
following political catechism for Ia
dies desirous of entering the arena of
politics be propounded, for answers,
to all candidates:
What is the best seasoning for bal
lot-box stuffings
Do you consider that election-eer-
ing is the jewelry ofthe campaign?
Would you measure, the canvass of
a ward by the yard? t
is it "mcasurers not men" that YOU
desire?
Do you consider caucusses Irishmen
from Cork?
Would you stand up to vote mo-
ton down?
Would you propose musk or col
ogne when the scents of the meeting
was called for?
Ought a chip hat to be worn in log
rolling for an election?
Are you too modest to press the
question?
Are you familiar with the music of
political organs?
What sort. of a vehicle is a political
hack?
How old must woman be to be en-
titled to the right to suffer age? l.
Are good teeth requisite for stump
speeches?
Do you believe in the doctrine, ITO
the victors belong the spoils," and if
so, do you consider a lnan spoils in
political life? ~
Would you sit on standing commit
tees?
Would you insist on having your
weight when the vote was declared to
be a light one?

A little five-year-old was being in

such terms as 'by golly," "by jingo,

he could tell profane oath by the
prefix "by." All such were oaths.

northwest and increasing hourly in fury.
The ships head was turned to the south
ward, and the officers at first thought that
she would successfully ride out the storm /;
but her great length told against her and
she began to labor fearfully. All the
next day the tempest ragged with unremit-
ting violence and the ship began to leak in
an alarming manner. Four double-action
steam pumps were set to work but tae
water continued to gain steadily, and the
carpenter reported eight feet of water in
the hold. Every exertion was made to
save the ship, but the strain on the timbers
was too great and the water began to
force It's way through, opening seams in a
few hours. The copper began to yield,
ana large sheets Were torn from the bot
tom and sides, leaving apertures through
which the water poured in torrents. The
deck soon after opened in several places.
On the 4th the storm lulled, but all hope
OF saving the ship was abandoned. The
carpenter found twelve feet of water in
the hold, and reported that the vessel was
rapidly settling by the head. Under these
circumstances the captain called the crew
together and briefly announced his deter
mlnatlon to leave the ship. Boats were
provisioned and launched as quickly as
possible, the captain commanding the life
boat, which is forty feet long, built of
iron and provided with water tight com
partments Eighteen sailors embarked
with the captain. The first mate, Mr..
Smith, took fifteen men in the launch, and
the second mate, Mr. Lock, seven men in
the cutter
The captain gave orders to his officers
to make for Bermuda, but the stiff breeze
scattered the little fleet The second mate
had hard time of it, He was driven
from the path by the wind and sea, and at
ten O'Clock at night again sighted the
Great Republic lying on her beam ends
and evidently sinking fast Soon after
wards the darkness hid her from sight
On Tuesday evening, 5th instant. the first
mate was rescued b. pilot, and brought
him and his men safely into Fort Hamilton
few hours later the captain arrived at
Building Bay, and in the evening the
second mate reached the royal navy yard
in safety.
The steamer San Francisco was out ia
the hurricane which destroyed the Great
Republic. and had narrow escape. The
deck houses We're washed away, one of
the paddle boxes smashed, and the saloon
was completely filled with broken glass
and furniture. The Great Republic cost
the present owners 800, 900 tor repairs.
The value of the ship is not at present to
be ascertained. but she is insured for
large amount.
The Great Republic was for some Years
by Capt Limebuner, Of this
city, under whose charge she made some
OF her most prosperous voyages. Latterly
she has been under English colors.

Loss Of the Ship Great Republic.

The Great Republic was one Of the most
famous clippers of her day, having been
built at East Boston by Mr. Donald Nc
Kay in 1858. She was originally of 1856
tons burden according to the old measure
ment, her length being 3O2 feet, breadth
AZ feet and depth 20 feet, and she had four
masts which gave the vessel novel ap-
pearance. Her career was somewhat
checked by disastrous fire, which result
ed in robbing her of a portion of her huge
bulk. While lying at New York in 1868,
she was burnt to the waters edge, but
good portion of her hull was saved, and
on being rebuilt her tonnage was reduced
to 261O tons, with three decks instead of
the four she originally had The number
OF masts was also changed from four to
three.
She left Rio Janeiro for St. John N. B..
on the 18th of January in ballast, under
Captain Ingraham, the former captain
(Pope) having died in Rio Janeiro. The
early part of the voyage was pleasant, but
on the I'd of March fierce gale from the
northeast arose, veering rapidly to the
