A Humorous View OF the Fog.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERAID:-
On Thursday morning the steamboat Northfeld
LETT Edgewater, Staten Island, in the fog at eight
O'Clock, with six or eight hundred passengers for
New York, and, after carefully following her nose"
about two hours, struck against her own pier at
foot of Whitehall street, New YORK. The fog was
dense that those deck could not recognize
friends four yards distant. SO it being uncertain
whether IL were New York or iceberg that the
boat struck she sheered Off, and q second attempt
struck Oh the Battery WALL knocking down two or
three o! the solid stone pillars. This was not

The damage to the dock was ABOUT five hundred

the first boat did not reach the New York side until
noon. There was great delay and trouble on the
acter OF the boats but on the Wall street ferry mat
tiers went very smoothly, and there were no COL

THE MAILS DELAYED.
The fog and the slippery character OF the rails
did somewhat interfere with the transmission OF
the mails. The Erie mail, which was due at seven
O'Clock yesterday morning had not arrived at
eleven O'Clock A. M. The streets throughout the
cty-as all our citizens are aware-were in most
horrible condition, and lakes OF liquid sush were
the rule and not the exception, on nearly every
block, and at every crossing and intersection OF
streets-partcularly down town, where the trafiic

might suit Londoners, 1t would never do for New

The dense fog yesterday morning had the erect,
as usual, OF interruptng the travel at the ferries
and the streets leading to them were blocked with
vehicles. These were farmers, grocers, butchers
milkmen and peders, all waiting for their turn to
cross the river but the trips of the boats were so
SLOW that the patience OF the men was worn out,
and the wish that the bridge was completed was
made by many.
COLLISION ON THE RIVER.
Yesterday morning the ferryboats Columbia and
Monticello, running from the South and Hamilton
avenue ferries, cOllided with considerable force
near the slip. Some of the passengers were
thrown down, but no one was injured. 1t was
found that the Columbia was badly damaged, her
engine being displaced and her bow stove in She
was taken to the shipyard for repairs.

THE VALUE OF TINE.

When the Roman Emperor said, .
have lost day." he uttered a sadder
truth than if he had exclaimed, 81 have
lost kingdom" Napoleon said that
the reason why he beat the Austrians
was that they did not know the value of
five minutes. At the celebrated battle
of Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the
point of being decided against him. He
saw the critical state of affairs, and IN
stantIy took his resolution. He dis
patched a flag to the Austrian head
quarters with proposals for an armistice.
The unwary Austrian soldiers fell into
a snare. For q few minutes the thun-
ders of battle were hushed. Napoleon
seized the precious moments, and, while
amusing the enemy with negotiations,
arranged his line of BATTLE, changed
his front, and in few minutes was
ready 10 renounce the farce of discus
sion for the stern arbitrament of arms.
The splendid victory of RivoH was the
result The great moral victories and
defeats of the world often turn on five
minutes. Men IOiter, time flies, and all
the great interests of life are speeding
on with the sure and silent tread OF
destiny.

wOMAEIN SICKNESS.

IN no situation, and under no circum-
stances, does the female character APP

The chamber of disease may indeed be
said to be woman's home. We there be-
hold her IN her loveliest, most attractive
point of view firm, without being harsh;
tender, not weak; active not quiet; gen
tie, patient, accomplishing, vigilant.
Every sympathetic feeling that so pecu-
Iiarly graces the feminine character, is
there called forth; while the native
strength of mind which has hitherto
slumbered in inactivity, Is reused to its
fullest energy. With noiseless step

An when, exhausted, she sinks to

Even in sleep she seems awake to this

NELTLNG OF GOLD.

A few days since the United States
Mint began melting the first installment
10000 of the twenty millions one
dollar gold pieces, which, 'duringthe en-
suing month, are to be recoined into
larger denominations. These pieces
are of announcement size. and the gov
eminent has experienced trouble in is
suing them in large quantities. This
induced them to take them from
the Sub-Treasury III. New York, where
they have been idle the first few years,
and place the metal in more desirable
shape
From 1849, when the first one-dolIar
gold pieces were coined at the Mint in
Philadelphia, to 1867, when the coinage
was stopped, there has been SIT, 709, 442
made in the Philadelphia Mint alone.
It is presumed that the whole isse of
one-dollar gold pieces Will amount to
over thirty millions.
One million OF gold dollars, when first
issued by the Mint, Will weigh 1858
pounds avOrdupois, or a fraction over
one ton, twenty cwt.) and four-fftlls.
In twenty millions of dollars we have
nearly thirty-three tons. The loss by
abrasion in one million dollars is 81
4O8.37. In other words, 500, 900, 900,
used ten years, loses $88, 1877. 40. If the
twenty million pieces to be melted were
piled in a perpendicular line, they
would reach eleven and five-sixth miles.
Were the pieces laid flat on a level
plain, they. would extend one hundred
and fifty-eight miles.

CURIOUS STA TIsrIcs OF MARRIAGE.

To people of a statistical rather than
sentimental turn, the mathematics of
marriage IN different countries may
prove an attractive theme of meditation.
1t is found that young men from fifteen
to twenty years of age marry young
women averaging two or three years
older than themselves. but if they de-
lay marriage until they are twenty to
twenty-five years old, their spouses
average a year younger than themselves;
and thenceforward this difference stead
/ lily increases, till IN extreme old age
on the bridegroom's part it is apt to be
| enormous. The inclination of octogen-
1 arians to we'd misses in their teens is an
/ everyday occurrence, but it is amusing
I to find in the love-matches of boys that
the statistics bear out the satires Of
/ Thackeray and Balzac. Again, the hus-
/ bands of young women aged twenty and
under average little above twenty-five
years, and the inequality of age dimin-
| ishes thenceforward, till for women who
have reached thirty the respective ages
are equal; after thirty-fiye years, women,
like men, marry those younger than
themselves, the disproportion increasing
with age, till at forty-five it averages
nine years
The greatest number of marriages for
men take place between the ages Of
twenty and twenty-five in England, be-
tween twenty-five and thirty in France,
and between twenty-five and thirty-five
in Italy and Belgium. Finally, in
| Hungary the number of individuals
who marry is y in a thousand each
year; in England, it is "a; in Denmark,

WILT COOLNESS DLD.

1t was during the terrible cholera
year, 1880, in Russia. Five hundred
| fell victims daily. The peasants were
in depair. The report was started, and
it spread like wiId-fre, that they were
poisoned by the physicians. 4 furious
mob, armed with those axes in the use
of which the Russians are so dexterous,
rushed to the market place. No man
knew where their fury would fall. The
tumult might end in an insurrection.
The tidings were brought to Nicho-
las, who had only partially recovered
from an attack of the fearful pestilence.
He flung himself into droshky and
dashed to the market. Mounting the
steps OF church, his tall form lowered
above the surrounding masses which
heaved and tossed with excitement,
His clear and sonorous voice rang
through the vast square.
How is this % You are not the
children of sacred Russia. Would YOU
revolt against Heaven? Would you

It is God who smites us. Instead of
murmuring against his blows, acknowl-
