LOSS OF THE STEAMER ERIE.

From q private letter received in this city by
the friends of person who was aboard the
steamer Erie at the time of her disaster we
are permitted to make the following extracts ::
The Erie was noble ship-the largest
American steamer af1oat.-but no wonder she
went down, for she had the hardest crew of
fremen and men that ever met with in nv
six years sea experience. Cursing and
swearing was their prevailing language from
the time we left New York. New Year morn
ing we arrived at Pernambuco, on our home
route from Rio. At P. 81. we left for Para.
Rum was plenty, and the crew and fremen
got drunk. The boatswain mixed alcohol
with gin, which they drank, and il crazed
them. They threw buckets, stools, pieces of
wood, provisions and every available thing at
each other. l was tired-went and got O.
bucket of water, took bath and change Of
clothes, and turned in about eight o'clock
had refreshing sleep and dreamed of home.
Was awakened about ten by the order, "Put
up all sail" The captain came forward and
gave the order for the hose to be passed down
the engine room. There were no signs of
fire. The snip was making fine progress with
sail and steam; but five minutes later the
steam pumps were started. and the smoke
poured out, driving the hose with it. Arush
was made for axes to cut holes for the hose.
The order then came to clear away the boats
The captain headed her for the land The
smoke poured up in thick black column.
There were eight boats, each with capacity
for holding forty men. When the last boat
was lowered, the smoke was so dense that
they had to feel their way in getting her over
the side. went out in the sixth boat. We
laid off in file, headed to sea until morning.
1t was grand and fearful sight the stream.
ing flames running up the rigging the lofty
sails drawing; the smoke stacks (each large
enough for span of horses to be driven
through both red hot. The three masts fell
together, and soon the beautiful ship went
down-a sacrifice to the demon intemperanse
In the morning we could just see land. We
made sale for the beach, and landed at
small village of bamboo huts in a cocoa grove
where we procured a guide for Parahiba
about five miles through the woods. The
ship had 25, 900 bags of coffee. 1t took 1000
tons OF coal to take her out and back. There
was large room full Of mail, which must
have been mostly burned.

what our present needs arc. At the close

what our present needs arc. At the close
of his report proper Mr.. johnson glanccs
at our educational system, and sums up
what he believes are our duties and our
needs. Society must educate the youth.
This implies that means must be
supplied, money must be raised for the
purpose. Then there must be instruction
in the school room, inspection of the work
performed, and cempulsion for those
children who would grow up in vice and
ignorance unless compelled to attend
school. These are the we'll known views
of Superintendent Johnson, endorsed, we
believe, by all the leading educators in the
country.
The remainder of the report is taken
up with plans fol- schoolhouses, tables Civ
ing full statistics, extracts from reports of
experimenting School Committees, and
valuables articles from sources outside Of
the State, bearing upon the subject OF ed
ucation. 1t is an interesting study to en-
anime the extracts from the reports of Com
LuittCtS, WulCu tldW inc TttutI CLOSELY
down among the schools and the people.
In all of them is evidence that the needs
of the schools are realized by The friends
of education at home.
The last report of Mr.. johnson is an
able and full report Of our school matters.
Whatever the Legislature may do in rela-
ton to his recommendations, it is certain
that there will be but one voice as to the
fidelity and ability with which he has per-
formed his duty. His work has been
carried forward in spite of opposition.

! A WEDDING IN TvIs.-In . ehurc,
near the hotel wedding vas celebrated
the evening OF our arrival. Permissior
to attend being asked aud obtained. ate.
dinner we went, and arrived after the Ger.
emony had eonmcneed. The bridegroom
was an officer with the rank Of maiur.--
The bride. who was about eighteen. aud
rather pretty. was dressed in white silk
with the usual veil. orange blossoms. etc
to be seen at home. She was attended by
seven bridesmaids, who we're dressed &C.
cording to fancy as regarded color, bu,
whose dresses were made NJ in Western
Europe. These young ladies talked among
themselves during the ceremony. and
seemed to be having q very pleasant time.
The church wss small, and as there we're
no seats. every one stood. The ceremony
was conducted according to the Greek
Church. In the middle Of the church.
away from the main altar, stood smaller
one. Before il we're two priexs, dressed
! in handsome robes embroidered in gold
thread, and upon the head Of one was a
hat, apparently Of felt. Their hair was
long. hanging to the shoulders. and parted
in the middle. the usual way of wearing
it among priests Of the Greek Church. -
These priests stood facing this smaller al.
tar, while behind them we're the bride and
groom. who stood upon piece Of red sat
IN, each holding in one hand = wax ta-
per. Upon the altar were burning large
wax-tarers. From a richly bound Bible
one Of the priests read extracts, during
which the bride aud groom at intervals
crossed themselves twice each time The
choir Of men in the corner near the main
altar sweetly chantcd the responses. Oc-
easionally the priests turned toward the
bride and groom. who had, previous to
the arrival Of General Sherman and par
ty, exchanged rings. aud who now alter
nateIy took three sips Of wine from fiat
cup, crossing themselves in doing so. AZ
ter this followed some more reading from
the Bible. when two crowns were brought,
and the sign Of the cross made with ,hom
before the couple. who likewise made the
sign and kissed the crowns, after which
they were held over the heads of the bride
and groom By two Of the groomsmcn, who
were relieved by others in turn as their
arms became tired. This was followed BY
more reading. and then the bride and
groom. each taking hold Of the robe of
one Of the priests, passed three times
round the altar. After this third priest,
or patriarch, magnifccn,ly clad in robes
embroidered in gold AMI worked with
silk flowers. wearing upon his head gold
crown inlaid with pearls. came from be-
hind the mair altar, and pronounced the
benedic'iou. The bride and groom, hav-
ing received the congratulations of their
friends. passed to the main altar. knclt.
said some prayers, kissed the images, and
then departed for their home, where a
supper was served. The ceremony lasted
an hour, and during it the bride spoke to
the groom. and smiled on some of her
friends.-Harper's -Mlga=ine for October.

How TO GET ALoSa- Do not stop
to tell stories in business hours. If you
have place of business, be found there
when wanted. No man can get rich BY
sitting round stores and saloons. Never
fool in business matters. Have order.
system, regularity. liberality. and prompt.
ness. Do not meddle with business YOU
know nothing Of. Never buy an article
you don't need. simply because it is cheap.
and the man who sells it will take it out
in trade. Trade is money. Strive 10
avoid hard words and personalities. Do
not kick every stone in tho path. More
miles can be made in a day BY going
steady on than by stopping. Pay as you
60. A man Of honor respects his word
as his bond. Aid, but never beg. Help
others when you can. but never give what
you can't afford to, simply because it is
fashionable. Learn to say no. No no.
cessity Of swapping it out dog fashion.
but say it firmly aud respectfully. Have
but few confdauts; the fewer tho better.
Use your brains rather than those of 9TH
ers. Learn to think an! act for your
self Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather
than behind the times. Readers cut this
out. and ifthere be folly in the arguments,
let US know.
