ship, stove in the sllylighls, and poured
water into the cabins and staterooms to the
depth of two feet, at one o'clock at night.
Wave after wave followed. The strainng
ship leaked at the sides through seams
yawning fingers breadth. Half ! thou
sand passengers in the steerage began to
mingle their shrioks, sobs, curses, prayers
and wailing, with the affighted passengers
Of the cabin. All these fearful sounds ion-
ed with the bowling gale, and humping,
lashing, roaring waters, and laboring ma
chinery and falling spars, and crashing
timbers, to produce scene never to be for
gotten. No person on the vessel expected
TO seel land or home again, but looked for
a speedy death in the black waters under
the midnight sky on that lonely ocean.
For wonder the storm passed in time to
allow the vessel to reach port. Had ano-
ther storm crossed her path, or this one
lasted twelve hours longer, she must have
been inevitably lost.

BOCTOE BTPNED

When the business portion of Chicago
was laid in ashes last year, the press had to
rake the ashes of history to find 4 compar-
ison Moscow was the nearest parallelled
In time, but that was no accidental fire.
The great fire of London, which occurred
more than two centuries ago, furnished the
only adequate parallel in all modern histo
ry. But the world has not had to wait
another two hundred years for the sad sight
Of another great commercial city In flames.
The chief business quarter of the important
city of Boston has burned TO the ground
since last Saturday evening; the fire occur
ring just one year, one month and one day
after the burning of Chicago.
Although the district burned over is only
about a half mile long, and quarter of
mile wide, yet when we remember that
three-fourths of the great wholesale houses
of the city were in that compass, aud were
reduced to ashes by the flames, we can form
some faint idea of the literally wholesale
destruction Of property. The fire broke
ont in large wholesale dry goods store,
four story granite building corner of Sum
mer and Kingston streets, little more
then half way from the Common to the east
water front of the city. The general course
of the FIRE was north to State street and
India wharf, and east to the harbor.
The flames seemed to pass from roof to
roof, and owing to the proverbiaI narrow
ness of the streets, and the height of the
buildings, the fremen could not well com
pete with the fierce and fast spreading
flames. There does not appear to have
been much wind, till the heat produced its
own disturbance Of the atmosphere, as is

waukee Neaos argues that had Grant lost as
much in every State as III Wisconsin, Gree

aging future is before us. Grant will be

nature "The victors in our lac struggle

THE STARS AND HUMAN HEALTH

There is nothing new under the sun. 1t
bodies had an Influence over human affairs,
but most people have handed over the ques-
ton of fortunate or unfortunate conjunctiors
of the stars, to the astrologers and Their
dupes. Yet Dr. NJ. A. Knapp of Mexico,
writes in the n. Y. Medical J0uanaI, that
the periods i'll which the planet Jupiter is
nearest the sun, are always times in which
cholera and other epidemics rage. This
occurs once in twelve years, and tie DR..
gives trightful array Of figures to prove
it. The same thing Is true he says in refer
ence to the planet Saturn in its sun-nearing
period Of twenty-nine years and half.
When Jupiter and Saturn near the sun to-
gether there is a marked increase of epi-
demic violence, especially of yellow fever,
which came north to Portland in 1898, and
to Norfolk in 1855, times Of such joint
nearness.
1t is reasonable to believe that there is
something in the Doctors theory, especially
as a connection is now known to exist be-
tween the sun spots, and the atmospheric
and electrical disturbances on earth. And
if the suns attraction and light, thus affects
us, why not the light and force of the plan
cts when combined with his? After build
ing up his plausible theory, DR.. Knapp gives
it a startling application by saying that the
next perhelion, or sun nearing passage of
Jupiter occurs in 1880, Il conjunction of
Jupiter and Saturn in 1881, the joint peri
helion of Uranus and Neptune III 1882, and
the perihelIon passage of Saturn i'll 1885,
from which he concludes that there will be
widespread ravages Of pestilence and death
during those years.

AFTER TIE BATTLE.

Considerable human nature is shown by
the various ways in which the papers that
supported Mr., Greeley in the late presiden-
tial contest, meet the result. The Wmona
Democrat talks of voting as "farce;'' the
people as "servile >laves;' the government
as centralized despoliSm." TIE Mime

will make better President than he has

THE OCEAN CYCLONE.

How would you ike TO pass through 4
cyclone, that is, an ocean whirlWind lasting
nineteen hours? The steamer Greece en-
countered such a storm in September about
thousand miles northeast of New
York harbor 1t is said to have been the
most terrible blow any ship has reported
for quarter of century. Doubtless many
such have swept the ocean, and no ship IN
their path has lived to tell the tale.
On this particular occasion the Greece
made but two miles an hour with machinery
that had given out three times before.
Had it failed during the cyclone for three
minutes, the good ship with It's regiment OF
passengers would have swung into the
trough Of the sea, and gone down like bar
Of lead. AS it was, there she pitched, and
staggered and rolled, for nearly twenty-tour
hours, lying on her side every two minutes,
and then righting only to put her bow un-
der the ocean pillows as if she never would
come up again, then rising to roll once more.
Huge seas breaking over the sides of the

common in great confagrations. 1t Is estl-
mated that about enc thousand houses were
burned apd about one hundred millions OF
dollars worth of property were consumed,
during the thirty six hours in which the fire
ragged, from Saturday evening to Monday
morning.
Great apprehensions have been expressed
as to the effect of this great disaster on the
already stringent condition of the finances
of the country. But the Secretary of the
Z. S. Treasury has it in his power to afford
relief to the money centres, and will doubt
less do so. The Insurance Companies lose
heavily, but many of them have a large
surplus, and can afford to pay all losses.
Some must fail, but the st. Paul Press is
right in saying that the country which
passed the Rebellion, and the Chicago
Fire twice the Boston loss) without q
crash, can carry the last burden too.
Crashes never come while credit and CON
fdence is good. The Chicago calamity
prepares the country for this, and credit
will not fail. The great loss is to Western
copper mines, railways and other interests
in which the wealthy and enterprising
Boston capitalists took such heavy stock.

THE SUPREME COURT or THE u S.


We seldom think Of this august body Of
men, and the intricate questions continually
coming before them, but they are iii reality
kings over the American people, and might
were they unjust or corrupt men, rule most
deSpoticaly by false interpretations of the
law and constitution, and colluSion with
corrupt officers in the executive department.
The consequences of Chief Justice Taney's
famous decision on the Fugitive Slave Law
and the feelings of the country at another
time over an opinion Of a portion of the
court questioning the conStitutionality of
the law which made greenbacks legal ten
der, show plainly how the financial, social
and moral interests of the nation, ar Vt the
mercy in great measure Of its Su preme
Court.
1t is a matter of graduation that the very
greatness Of the trust committed to this
body, necessitates the choosing of men Of
the highest character, both in knowledge
and probty, to fill It's benches, aud thereby
renders it next to impossible that any radi
cal and thorough subversion Of our liberties
could be brought about under the forms OF
law.
Among the interesting questions soon to
come before this court in addition to the
case filed Nov. >, wherein the State of
Wisconsin gives notice Of application for
Injunction against the Duluth Dyke, there
is a case from South Carolina which will
call forth an opinion on the KukIuX law; a
case from Illinois respecting the right Of
women to practise law under the XIVth
amendment; a case from Louisiana concern
inc the right of state to grant monopoly
of any business Gn this case the butchers
business) to any association of men for u
long period of time twenty-five years in
the present instance); also a case from Penn
sYlvania involving the right of State to
tax railway freights entering or leaving its
territory. Decisions on all these important
points will be looked for with no little
interest.

NEW LINE or OCEAN S7E4 MERS.

At a banquet given on board the fine
ocean steamer Glamorgan, the pioneer
steamship of the new line between Cardiff,
South W ales, and New ork, the statement
was made by Mr.. Archibald Baxter the
agent, that the great advantage of the line
is that it has such close connection with
great railroads, both at New York and Car
diff. As an instance of this, he mentioned
the fact that there was then on board $50
tierces of sealslins en- route for London.
4 steamer brought them from Alaska to
San Francisco, where they were put di-
rectly on the cars of the Central Pacific,
transferred Immediately to the Glamorgan
on arrival at New York, and would be again
transferred to the railway at Cardiff, and
landed in London without the expense of
cent for carriage. 1t is to be remarked that
representative Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road did the honorS at the banquet, and
that the new line advertiSes its departures
from the wharf of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, Jersey city.

DULUTH, VERSUS NATURE, AND THE
ELEMENTS

It has been pretty well demonstrated by
the results Of the storm last Wednesday, as
portrayed elsewhere by our Duluth cores
pondent, that the scheme of building a
harbor on the open lake at Duluth, cannot
be carried out without an expenditure of
public money and private capital so enor-
nous, that it is totally mwarranted, under
existing circumstances. If there were no
otLer way of providing a harbor at so i'm
portant point as the western extremity of
r1al>0 superior, public policy and the ma
tional prosperity would require such a Law
lsh outlay Of money, as should be necessary
to construct one, by the projecting of an
ocean breakWater into the Lake from some
point near its head. But as matters stand,
it is literally throwing money into the Lake.
A natural breakwater of seven miles in
length, meeting another two miles long,
protects effectually from the Lakes utmost
rage, one Of the finest systems Of natural
harbors to be found on the globe.
The natural entrance to this system of
harbors is the safest, as it is two miles from
tad. nearest shore of the Lake, and seven
miles from the dangerous combination of
winds and currents, which are always
sweeping along the north shore, and pour
ing into the stormy corner which Duluth
thought to convert into 4 safe harbor Ma
ture always does her business we'll and it
will yet be proved in the case of the canal,
as of the breaiwater, that it is a serious
mistake to interf,re, in any marked degree,
along the north range, (Which is close to the
Lake; the south range being ten miles
back of the south shore) and the littoral
current sweeping along the north shore, will
always make the entrance of the canal a
most dangerous matter for vessels in
storm, as of course the breakwater can
never be so extended as to protect such
entrance At the same time if they wished
to ride out the storm they are forced to
keep near the natural, or common entry, to
find sea room, and could more easily enter
the bay by that route afterward than by
the artificial one.
We write this much to record our con-
victions, and with no hope of convincing
parties who are now thoroughly committed
to the costly experiment of battling with
the gales and the pillows OF Lake Superior,
in the most dangerous corner of the Lake.
\ reference to our past files will show that
our views concerning the Duluth break
water have been fulfilled to the letter, and
We expect yet to chronicle more sad waste
and destruction of property in that quarter,
unless wiser spirit shall soon animate the
Duluth managers, leading them to use the
St. Louis channel, dredging down to it
from the Northern Pacific docks, on the
east side of Rice's Point. They will yet
be forced to this course by the natural linn
itation there is to all expenditures, but not
until the present sources of supply have
ascertained the true state of the case by
some years of experience.
