The Metis---The Officers to
Blame.

Now, that all the circumstances con-
nected with the Metis disaster are known
the journals are less reserved In their
criticisms of the conduct of her captain
and officers, and the general verdict is
that they were to blame. The tone OF
comment is as follows: The evidence,
thus far, leaves the fault of the collision
with the management of the Metis.
Still more heinOus neglect occurred af-
thorough search should have been made
for possible leaks. There was farcical
examination, not by the captain, but by
the mate and engineer, and they report
ed nothing of consequence. 1t was full
ly fifteen minutes after the collision be-
fore anyone seemed to be aware that the
Metis had hole in her hull. The dis.
cOverer of this remarkable fact was the
engineer. Where again was the cap
tain? How does it happen that he, the
highest responsible officer on board,
left this all important fact to be found
ont at second or third hand? Had the
leak been promptly discovered the Me-
tbs might be afloat to-day. Mattresses
and blankets might have been stuffed
into the hole, the leak partially stopped
before it had gained too much Roadway,
and with the pumps going, she could
have been kept from sinking, and
beached like the Bristol.
Another journal says the collision was
the result of gross carelessness. After
the disaster, the officers and crew of the
vessel behaved like towards, and there
was not the proper life saving appara-
tus on board necessary to the safety OF
the passengers in case of emergency
Hardy sailors, used to all winds and
weather, expert swimmers, stole stealth
lily away from the sinking ship in the
life-boat, and left poor, weak women
aud helpless children to save themselves
rs best they could.
Another paper thinks that IL Capt
Burton was blameless in respect to the
collision, his conduct afterward was
reckless to the last degree. Whatever
the official judgment may be, it will bt
impossible to persuade mankind thai
when the vessel was struck only five
miles from shore, and was able to keel
In motion and obey her helm for more
than an hour afterward, every creatur,
on board could not have been brought
safely to land.

CROCK OF AGESv

.ra
..Rock of ages cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung, lf-s
Fell the words unconsciously
From her giriish, gieeful tongue;
Sang Is little children sing; ~
Sang as sing the birds of June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune -t
'Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide my myself IN Thee"
LET me hide myself in Thee
Felt her soul NO need to hide
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care, iii
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips prayer
'Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
'Rock of ages cleft for me"
Twas woman sung them now, ti
Pleading and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know
Rose the song as storm tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air, .Ir
Every note with sorrow stirred,
'.kock Of ages cleft for me, ai
Let me hide myself in Thee"
hOck OF ages cleIt lor Mc
Lips grown aged sang the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and ey es grown dim
s'Let me hide myself in Thee
Trembling though the voice and low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully
Like river in its hOw; b., 4.t...t.
Sang as only they can sing
Who life's thorny path hath passed;
Sang as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest ,.r-,
Rock Of ages, cleft for me, y 70 49,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me"
Sung above coffin lid; -H. p
Underneath all trustfully, ...r
All life's joys and sorrows hid.

Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevefmore from biilow's roll 100
Wilt thou need thyself to hide. 300.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Close beneath the soft grey hair, "
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye, still the words would be-
LET me hide myself in Thee"

as Mr.. Greeley, and Mr.. Pendleton, and
Mr.. Blair, and Mr. Welles (that fine
specimen of reformer) proclaimed,
adopted? If they had been, this coun-
try would have been scene of COM
mercial disasters and ruin. You know
that as we'll as we do. Why then should
you for one moment risk such an expe-
riment? Why should you risk any
thing on such wild, reckless, vision
airy as Greeley? His theory of finance
is to put placard on the Treasury,
"Specie payments resumed" His the
ory of protection is to cut off COM
merce. His theory of government is to
let every State or county secede when
it pleases. His theory of law is to par
don all, all criminals. His theory of
politics is to join with Tweed, Sweeny,
and Satan in any imaginable scheme of
political villiany. Is this country in
which such man can be successful? Is
it possible that this great nation can ex-
alt mountebanks, or be led by the low
est class of intriguers, or be swindled
by political gamesters? We think not !;
and We think the ides of November will
bring lesson at once decisive and salu-
tary. E. d. NJ.

A Good Little Domestic An
ecdote.

A young mother was in the habit of
airing the baby's clothes at the window.
Her husband did not like it, and be-
lived if she saw her practice as others
saw it she would desist. He so directed
their afternoon walk as TO bring the
nursery window into iull view from the
central part of the town. Stopping
abruptly. he pointed to the offending
linens Tapping in the breeze, and asked
sarcastically; "My dear, what is that
display in our Window" ''Why," she
replied, "that is the flag of our union"
Conquered by this pungent retort, he
saluted the flag by a swing of his hat,
and, pressing his wife's arm closer
within his own, said as they walked
homeward, "And long may it wave"

The story of Jefferson's grief at the
loss of his wife, as Mr.. Parton tells it in
the Atlantic, is very touching. Before
the Marquis de Chasellux had been gone
from Monticello many hours, the sixth
child of Thomas and Martha Jefferson
was born, making the number of their
living children three. 1t was death to
the mother. She fingered four months,
keeping her husband and all the house
hold in what he termed ''dreadful sus-
pense." He took his turn with his sis
ter and with her sister in sitting up at
night. With his own hands he admin
istered her medicines and her drinks.
For four months he was either at her
bedside or at work in a little room near
the head of her bed, never beyond call.
His eldest daughter, little girl of ten,
out maturer than her age denoted, new
er lost the vivid recollection of her ia
theirs tender assiduity during those
months. When the morning of Sep
tember 9th dawned, it was evident the
mother had not many hours to live, and
all the family gathered around her bed.
Thirty years after, six of the female
servants of the house enjoyed kind of
honorable distinction at Monticello, as
Hthe servants who were in the room
when Mrs. jefferson died''-such an
impression did the scene leave upon the
minds of the little secluded communi-
ty. 1t was tradition among the
slaves, often related by these six eye
witnesses, that the dying lady gave her
husband ''maDy directions about many
things that she wanted done;' but that
when she came to speak of the children
she could not command herself for some
time. At last she said she could not die
contented if she thought her children
would ever have stepmother; and her
husband, holding her hand, solemnly
promised that he would never marry
again. Toward noon, as she was about
to breathe her last, his feelings became
uncomfortable. He almost lost his
senses. His sister, Mrs. Carr, lead him
staggering from the room into his Ii
brary, where he tainted, and remained
so long insensible that the family began
to fear that he, too, had passed away.
They brought in pallet and lifted him
upon it, He revived only to sense of
immeasurable woe. His daughter Mar
tina, who WAS to be the solace of all his
future years, ventured into the room
that night; and even then such was the
violence OF his grief, that she was
amazed and confounded. For three
weeks he remained in that apartment,
attended all day and night by this little
child. He walked, as she related, al
most incessantly all day and all night,
only lying down now and then, when
he was utterly exhausted, upon the pal
let that had been hurriedly brought
while he lay in his fainting fit. When
ut last he left the house he would ride
on horseback for hours and hours,
roaming about in the mountain roads,
in the dense woods, along the paths least
frequented, accompanied only by his
daughter, ga solitary witness" she says,
Ito many a violent burst of grief, the
remembrance of which has consecrated
particular scenes beyond the power of
time to Obliterate."

The Wrong Man in the Right
Place. ......

The other evening meeting was
called at Cape May, N. j., for the pur-
pose of indorsing Greeley and Brown.
Jim. Scovel was the head and front, and
the only speaker with one exception.
They captured colored man by the
name of Jake Wilson, thinking him a
Greeley man, he was invited to make
speech, he consented, and the following
is the speech made: HsI If ..H
sLApIEs AND GENTS: / have been
brought here for the purpose of making
a Greeley speech, but | am not for Hor-
ace Greeley. Horace Greeley of to-day
is not the Horace Greeley of twenty
years ago, and never will vote for any
man who places himself at the head OF
n party who have been trying since the
beginning to trample me in the dust" .
They pulled him down, and Jim. Sco-
vel tried to make a speech, but he found
that the audience was composed of more
than three-fourths Grant men, and
every word he said against Grant was
received with groans, and cheers for
Grant. They found it no use to con-
tinue the meeting, so they adjourned
amid cheers for Grant and Wilson. ,a

Remarkable Solar Phenomen-

A telegram from Lexington, Ky, to
the Cincinnati Commercial, under date
of August 30, makes the following
statement: sifa Y.f ul Hr.
"A solar phenomenon of wondrous
magn.ficence was witnessed here to-
day. Shortly after u O'Clock a thin,
hazy halo was observed about the sun,
which was shining in cloudless sky.
Gradually this halo assumed a bright
yellow tint, and then, one after another,
five rainbow-hued circles, enveloped
themselves around the sun. Soon myr-
lads of glittering globes, apparently
half an inch in diameter, were elected
from the various rings. Some came in
to view slowly and sailed southward in
a straight line, while others shot forth
at tangent, like the balls of Roman
candle. All of them CLEANED with an
intense white light, which grew less in
tense as they approached the earth, and
totally disappeared at apparently the
hight of half mile. The display lasted
over two hours, and was witnessed by
every person in. the city, and created
great alarm among the ignorant and
superstitious. The only other notice
able phenomenon was Il marked reduc-
ton of temperature"
