THE WRECK or THE CITY OF WASH
TkGTON

Although we are without the full particulars
of the loss of the steamship City OF Wash
ington which may be derived from officers
and passengers, we arc probably in possession
of the main facts. The purser's statement IL
to the effect that neither sun, moon nor
stars were visible from the day the ship
left Queenstown until she struck:
dense fog prevailed during all that
time. This prevented any observations
being taken; and the course and position OF
the ship were only approximately known.
There is always a natural desire to blame
somebody for the responsibility OF such
disaster. In this case. probably, the flow oil
Indignation which we might expect is checked
nv the satisfaction felt that not one lie
was lost by the wrecking OF the SNIP
Nevertheless, the safety of tho great
multitude of seafaring passengers, as well as
the credit of the company owning the luckless
steamer, demand that rigid inquiry be made
into all the antecedent circumstances of the
disaster. We have yet TO learn whether the
ship was so far out of her true course by
reason of an error in reckoning, or otherwise |;
what was the speed Of the vessel when she
struck, whether the lead was used, and what
means were emplOycu 10 pTofIue dB"iHoo JuSU
such q disaster as did happen, are also in
teresting inquiries.
So lately has the public sympathy been
stirred by the loss Of vast number of lives
on the Nova Scotia coast, by what seems to be
inexcusably bad seamanship, that popular judg-
ment will be, perhaps, unusually severe in this
case. 1t is what may be called an unfortu-
nate time for the wreck of a passenger ship,
if one time can be considered more unfortu-
nate than another. But it must be admitted
that most of the known circumstances of this
disaster are likely to have an ameho-
rating effect on public opinion. The vOy-
age was unmtermittingly foggy; the
coast is a VIGOROUSLY difficult and dangerous
one the currents make dead reckoning I'M
usually doubtful; and finally, there was suf-
ficient discipline in the ship to insure the
landing of passengers, luggage, and stores
without loss. These all will be considered ex-
tenuatng circumstances in any case that may
be made up from evidence yet to be brought
forward. In any event, we are thankful 1t Is
M worse.

"tion." Mr.. Carpenter has left us IN DOUBT as
to what penalty attaches to this violation OIL
the Constitution by refusing back pay. IL is
enough that it breaks the sacred instrument
into several pieces.
But there are other members OF Congress
who, not being affected by considerations Oh
etiquette, and having no such regard Tor the
letter and spirit of the Constitution as seems
to actuate the Wisconsin Senator, nave deilD-
erately undertaken to evade the provision
cited by drawing their back pay, pro Jormd,
and turning it at once into the treasury but
this also ia an evasion OF law, wicked
and abominable outrage; and to the front
comes the Washington organ OF the AL
ministration to say so boldly and unequiv-
ocally. The inspired organist says this
mode of putting money into the treasury is
without any legal authority whatever; that
the Treasurer has no right to receive IT. and
that having received it he can put 1t INTO
"his own pockets or donate 1t to the poor"
and it never could be recovered OF nm by
legal process. He says it is private trans
action with which the Government and Its
officers have no concern, and cites the case Of
the gift of a ship to the United States Navy
by Commodore Vanderbilt, when the trans
action was thought to be incomplete until
Congress passed law authorizing Its accept
ance. And as if this were not sufficient to
deter tho squeamish Congressman from
covering his back pay into the Treasury, the
editor goes on TO argue that even it he should
succeed in getting it in and the Treasurer
should not "put itlnto his own pockets or do
mate it to the poor" by and by, after he is
dead and his estate is administered on, his
widow or some other distant relative would
come to Congress and demand it back. " In
9" the face of these facts" he continues, "who
"will suppose that majority of the ALllld
Congress, with the extra greenbaeks pro
"truding from their pockets, would turn tho
"widow of deceased fellow member away
empty -handedY
So it seems that from whatever point Oh
view the subject is considered, there are IN
superable obstacles to this plumber remaining
in the Treasury or getting back when once
out. The tracks are all one way. And yet we
are so curious to know how these legal sub
tleties affect the average voter, that we should
like very much to see some gentleman canvass
for reelection on the basis of them.

They had very respectable celebration of the
Fourth of July in Atlanta, Ga. The Herald and The
Adrtiser newspapers Of that city advocated the OBJ
servance Of the day but Mr.. Alexander st. Clair
Abrams of The Herald felt it to be his duty to enter
rather truculent protest against the of his
journal. Mr.. st. Clair declined to celebrate the
Fourth Of July because there "was too much blood
on it." Mr.. st. Clair is ready to obey the laws Of
the United States " so long as he is compelled by
necessity to live under such Government" But
he wishes it to be distinctly understood that he
feels no generation for flag g. from the folds OF
which the blood of two hundred thousand Southern
men is dripping and which has for twelve years
been an emblem OF oppression, of humiliation, and
of degradation to the South" Mr. Alexander st.
Clair Abrams, it will be noticed, puts the matter
very strongly; but the celebration was MT post
poned, we believe on his account. Unforgiving
persons, such as he is, uncommon enough in the
South to render 1T necessary for them to issue cards
informing the world that they are, and intend TO

them pleasure to do this let them do it Ii is hardly
worth while TO call them the minorty-there

years. The comparison of the death-rate of
last week with that of the same date
in 1879, exhibits an astonishing decrease
in favor of 1878. Cases of sunstroke
this year constitute very small item
compared with last year; and deaths by
diarrheal diseases are about one-fOurth as
numerous as those of q corresponding period
in last Summer. The figures presented by
the Health Registrar are encouraging; but
they should not be allowed to slacken general

KEEP UP THE FAMILY ATTACHMENT.
One of the saddest things about large
family who have lived happily for years
together under the old roof tree, is the
scattering to new .homes, which takes
place as they grow up, one by one, to
years Of maturity. 1t is often the case
that in the cares and hustle of business,
letters grow moro and moro infrequent.
times entirely lose sight of each other
These kindred ties are much too sacred
to bo thus lightly severed. 1t takes such
little while to write a letter, and the ex-
pense is so trihing, that there can hardly
be an excuse for the neglect. A loving
family circle thus widely severed, adopt
ed a curious, but beautiful plan for keep
ing informed of each others weiare.-
Tho two most remote, on the first of each
month, write a part of page on a large
sheet, containing the principal news OF
the month, and this is sealed and forward
ed to the next in order. Some member
of the household adds a like contribu-
ton, and sends it on to the next, and so
on until the whole circle is complete.-
Thus the family circular goes its rounds
twelve times year, and each one is kept
well informed Of the plans, joys and sor-
rows of the others. Family gatherings
are frequent in such households, and the
old home attachments never grow cold.
Sons in particular, are very apt to grow
very neglectfu of letter writing. Oh
il they only knew Of the many heart
aches such neglect causes to the loving
breast that pillowed their tired heads in
childhood, they would not be so thought
less, if they knew Of the joy a letter
brought-could see how its lightest words
were dwelt upon, and talked over by the
fireside, they would not be so sparing of
the messages. Are not some of us sadly
in arrears in this particular?

BELLs.-The origin of bellsis probably
to be dated from the time when the sono-
property of metals was first noticed. In
the writing of Moses, Ex. 1896, "bels of
gold," are mentioned rs being attached
to Aaron's robe. Bells are also mentioned
in Zech., NV, 20.
The period when large bells were first
introduced in churches is uncertain, but
by the seventh century they were in gen.
eral use, since Bede in his history men,
toned them. In the history of the
churches of the middle ages the bell has
much to do. Bells were often baptized
with great pomp and ceremony, persons
of high rank being sponsors and Bishops
and Arch Bishops officiating.
There were in early times many super
stitious notions connected with bells, one
of the most remarkable of which was that
their sound was peculiarly efiicacious in
driving away evil spirits. The ringing
of bells during eclipscs, during tempcsts,
to drive away the lightnings, the evil
spirits of the air, being alarmed thereby,
would abandon their malignant purpose.
The immensely large bells in the world
have always been objects of interest and
wonder. We will mention few. The
great bell of Moscow, Russia. This bell
was east by order of the Empress Anne.
1t was in the earth l03 years and by the
will of the Emperor Nicholas, was raised
upon the pedestal in 1886. 1t was ruined
by fire and recast. 1t measures % feet
across the mouth, 10 feet in height, and
and its thickness is % inches. Its weight
is 100000 pounds. Tho casting of this
bell is of excellent workmanship.
Russia is pre-eminenty country of
great bells, for besides the king of bells,
it contains the two next greatest in the
world, one weighing $50, 900 and the other
100000. Among other bells noticeable
is the one at Effort in Germany, weigh
ing 10000 pounds, was cast in 1897 and
was considered the best in Europe. In
Vienna are bells of 40, 900 pounds, cast in
the last century. In York, England, is
one of 81 900 pounds.
The Chinese are celebrated for their
bells but they do not swing their bells as
we do neither do they provide them with
clappers, but the sound is produced by
striking them upon the outside with WOOD
en- mallets. Pekin has ono Weighing
10000 pounds. 1t is very pleasant to
hear the sound of bell. Every town
ought to have one and we congratulate
Reno in having such fine sounding bell
and we hope that every citizen will con-
tribute liberally toward the bell that is at
the depot.-NeU. State Journal.

BALLooNING.-One Of the smallest and
some respects most curious of the
many societies in London, is the Aero
nautical Society, presided over by Mr.
James Glaisher, f. r. S. At the meet
ing of this Society two rather important
steps of progress were reported. One is
that of M. Dupuy de LONE, who sends
information that, by means of screw
worked by eight men, in balloon weigh
ing altogether four tons. he has been able
to deviate twelve degrees either way from
the direction in which the wind was blow
ing. This, as the chairman remarked,
would enable one to send balloons into
Paris as well as to get them out. A step
in the direction Of motive power, combin-
ing strength and lightness, was exhibited
in small machine, occupying less than
yard square, in which steam was got up
by the use Of gas, in less than two minutes,
to a pressure of one hundred pounds on
the square inch. The machine weighs
only forty pounds and is Of four-horse
power. On the same principal it was
averred that another engine could be
made of 100-horse power that will weigh
700 pounds. One is ordered for balloon
that has been constructed for the Aero
nautical Society Of Vienna, at cost Of
SG,000.- -Eve1y Saturday.
