NEWPORT, r. l., August "a, 1873
We have had quite lively time here all night, as
after dark it commenced to blow gale from the
northwest and the wind still continues strong.
Last night the schooner Arson, Captain Bells, from
Ezabe Import, with coal the schooner Fulton, Cap
tain Ryan, from Providence for New York, and the
schooner Nellie A. Ross. nom Providence for New
York all went ashore near Castle Rock and are
now i'm pretty bad fix. The Newport wreckers
have contracted TO get them of.
During the race yesterday the schooner Eva
carried away her jibboom, and last night in the
paie she dragged her anchor and went aground on
the eastern shore of the harbor. As the harbor Is
mud she will PROBABLY be got on without much
damage Nearly all the yachts IN the harbor
dragged their anchors, and the Alarm fouled with
a coasting schooner, but eventually got clear with
out damage The Vixen carried away her topmast
head yesterday during the race. 1t Is understood
now that the feet will leave tomorrow for Martha's
Vineyard and II the EFFORTS to raise funds for q
Newport Cup should prove successful the yachts
will sail for Ii on their return. The schooner yacht

WHAT CAUSED his DEATHg
The Mysterious Fate Of Michael Lynch
in Newark, N. j.

The Mysterious Fate Of Michael Lynch
in Newark, N. j.
Yesterday morning, between i've and SIX O'Clock,
Francis McGinnis, Newark grocer, doing
business there on the corner OF Lafayette and
Monroe Streets discovered lying in his yard in the
midst of large pool Of blood, man in his employ
named Michael Lynch. He was unconscious, or
very nearly so, and bled copiously from the ears
aud from an ugly cut on each leg A medical gen.
tleman OF the neghb0rhood was at once
summoned, and on examination 1t was
found that Lynch's skull was fractured
and his legs, as stated, severely cut; but how he
came BY his injuries, whether from accident or
design, could not be determined. The mans
wounds were dressed, and some hours later he was
removed to ST. Michaeps Hospital. DR.. O'Gorman,
chief OF the Medical Board there, examined the
injured man and gave 1t as his opinion that the
wounds were caused by a fall and That Lynch could
scarcely recover. 0licer Horns notified the author
ities az Police Headquarters, and detectives were
ordered to investigate the matter From what they
learned where Lynch was found 1t appears that he
or six boon companions At twelve O'Clock he was
seen in their company and not Afterwards, until
found as described. During brief period OF con-
seriousness Lynch said that
HE BAD BEEN BITTEN
several times but by whom he did not say. AS he
was found with only his pants and shirt ON
room after leaving his companions. 1t Is said
by some parties that he came down again
In response TO call aud that scufile
was heard, but by whom could not be ascertained.
From the McGinnlses 1t was learned that Lynch was
In the habit OF getting tight and when SICK void
ing the contents OF his stomach into the yard.
Their theory Is that he was in the act OF doing this
when he fell out headloremOst. This lacks color OF
truth, however, as no vomit was found in the yard
under the window. The names OF his six compan-
ions were taken down by the police, and should
quest will of course be ordered. The police deemed
Ii unnecessary to arrest Lynchs companions.

The Arena of America.

Cast q momentary glance over the
surface of this broad continent. You
will see at once that it is the most mag
nifcent theatre upon which human
power has ever had an opportunity to
exert itself Remember that upon it
forty millions of beings are already
placed, and that the future will doubt
less contribute its annual millions in an
ever-increasing ratio. You will also note
that, hocking in from abroad, come the
Celt, the Teuton, the African, the Az
tee, and the native of far Cathay all
rushing in to form parts of one huge
conglomerate mass of restless humanity,
upon whose fiat depends the realization
of the highest hopes ever yet formed of
approaching the image of utopian
commonwealth. Surely never in any
preceding record of human history has
there been fairer opening for the full
development of the noblest aspirations
for good, which the Divine Being has
been pleased to implant in the bosom
of his creatures. Here is ample space
and verge enough for the most far-see-
ing statesman, the most persuasive ora
tor, the most profound philosopher, the
most exalted philanthropist. Here is
field the like of which Aristotle or Pla-
to never trod. Here afe problems on
which Cicero never could have specula-
ted, or Bacon exercised his wonderful
sagacity. Answer me, if you can,
pray you, shall it indeed be that this
marvellous scene will be occupied by
actors worthy of their place, who will
strain their utmost powers to rise to
every great emergency, and do for their
fellow-men all that mortal power has
been able to effect, since the forfeiture
of paradise 90 r. adams.

Gail Hamilton on Clerks.

A plainly but perfectly dressed lady,
with the best blood of the world in her
veins, and, what is more imposing to
the haberdashing heart, with plenty of
money in her pocket, went, not long
since, into shop to buy napkins. The
potentate of the counter showed her
such napery as he thought suited to her
social position. 'These are rather
coarse" she suggested. "Have you
none finer % go, yes," said the gen
tleman, ''but they are more expensive" !"
1t is ever to be regretted that the lady
turned in silence and left the shop, be-
cause that clerk will never know that it
was his own idiotic effrontery, and not
the expense of the nakins, which lost
him the customer.
A lady who never made any great
figure in the world, and certainly not in
a water proof cloak on a rainy day, was
seeking a parasol. The clerk showed
her some very common, not to say
shabby, specimens, which she declined.
A little further down the counter she
bought whole piece of fine and costly
linen, observing which the knight of
the parasol came down and begged her
to re-examine his assortment, of which
he had contrived to unearth an alto
gether different and better collection.
She, too, fell below the requirements of
the occasion, and bought her parasol
without enlightening him upon her dis
covery of his stupid mistake.
A lady, large and lovely, serene
Quaker goddess, made some benevolent
casual remark to the clerk with whom
she was trafficking, just as she would
hav to1 f1oo Af
who might have run up and shifted at
her gown, and the little whipper-snap-
per clerk followed her to the door and,
winked at her And while she stood
staring at him in her first amazed con-
sciousness of his individual existence,
he winked again Thus vacuous do
furnish it with all the ganglia of life.
Happy those merchants who can Sc
cure the right sort of clerks, for right
sort there is. I bought table-cloth of
him yesterday. I had forgotten to take
the size of the table or pattern of the
color to be matched. Patiently he
evolved my probable needs from my
fragmentary facts, discussed pleasantly
the presumptive evidence, and seemed
as much interest d in the harmonies of
my dining-room as if he had expected
to at there thrice day during the re-
mainder of his natural life. Did he
deceive me? Not bit. I know of
surety that my dining-room was no
more to him than the peanut stand on
the common opposite. Me and it has
he already alike forgotten. None the
less was his momentary and friendly, !
but not familiar, assumption of inter
est in me and mine altogether winning
and encouraging, and doubtless also
was it, for that moment, altogether sim
cere. His sympathetic and refined ma
ture does unquestionably and sponta-
neously alley itself for succor and good |
cheer to all who appeal to him. May
his kind heart, his welcoming face. and |
his engaging manners be a mine of
wealth to himself and all his employers
and dependents.

The Creation; According to the
Modocs.

Mr.. Joaquin Miller, in bis book enti-
tied Life Among the MOdocs, has given
some picturesque sketches of Indian
life and traditions. Among much other
interesting matter, he tells us that the
idea of the creation of the world as it
was entertained by the Modocs, now
verging ON extinction in accordance
with the demands of modern civiliza-
ton, was this :, The Great Spirit made
Mount Shasta first of all. He pushed
down snow and ice from the skies
through a hole which he made in the
blue heavens by turning a stone round
and round, till he made this great
mountain; then he stepped out of the
clouds on to the mountain top, and de-
scended and planted the trees all around
by putting his finger on the ground.
The sun melted the snow, and the water
ran down and nurtured the trees and
made the rivers. After this he made
the fish for the rivers out of the small
end of his staff He made the birds by
blowing some leaves which he took up
from the ground among the trees. After
that he made the beasts out of the re-
mainder of his stick, but he made the
grizzly bear out of the big end. and
made him master over all the others.
Having done that, the Great Spirit con-
verted Mount Shasta into wigwam, and
its volcanic eruptions are the outcome
of the fire that he lights in the centre of
the mountain. The development of
man was a later occurrence. The
daughter of the Great Spirit, venturing
too far, got astray and fell into the
power of the grizzly bears, and she was
forced to marry one of them, and the
red men were the fruit of the marriage.
These red men were taken under the
protection of the Great Spirit but the
grizzlies were punished by being com
PEELED to walk on four feet, whereas
before they had walked on two. To
this day the grizzly bear is never slain
by the red men, who recognize in him
a sort of kinsman.

The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise
gives an account of new fire-engine
which the Virginia and Truckee rail
road company have constructed and fit
ted upon one of their locomotives, in
view of the frequent occurrence of fires
in wood-piles, tunnels, buildings and
other property along the line of their
road. 1t stands upon the boiler of the
locomotive, between the steam-chest
and the bell, and not 4 little resembles
an iron monkey riding the iron horse.
The locomotive, with the little fire.
fighter mounted upon its back, was re-
Gently brought up to the depot and a
trial of it's squirting capacity made,
which proved highly satisfactory. In
case of a fire anywhere on the line of
the road, the locomotive and engine,
with cars fitted with water-tanks, will
at once be dispatched to the scene of the
contiagratlon. Meanwhile the lOcomo-
tive Will not remain idle, as it can do
switch duty and other work Just as well
as though it had not the queer little
fire-mOnkey riding around on its back.

Absinthe and it's Deadly Effects.

During the session of the medical con-
gress at Lyons, one day was set apart for
the study of alcoholic stimulants. On
that occasion the physician of Sainte
Anne asylum, Dr. Magnan, comparing
the chemical action of alcohol and alb
sinthe on man, drew the conclusion that
the former acts more slowly, gradually
provoking delirium and digestive de-
rangement, while absinthe rapidly re-
suits in epilepsy. Then, producing It
couple of dogs, he treated one with al
cohol and the other with essence of alb
sinthe, this latter being the active prln-
ciple of the absinthe liquor which is COM
monty drunk. The alcoholized brute
could not stand up, became sleepy and
stupid, and, when set on his legs, trem-
bled in an innert mass the other dog
experienced at once frightful attacks of
epilepsy. Analogous effects are produced
in mankind. Surely the ''absjnthe duel
which is said to have taken place at Can
mes, when both of the combatants per-
ished after drinking an extraordinary
quantity, may be strictly denominated
duel with deadly weapons. Inthe south
of France, it is said, one person some
times invites another to partdke of alb
sinthe by the slang phrase, Take a
shovelfuF of earth > as if an American
bar-room lounger, recognizing with grim
humor the deadly quality of his liquor,
should say, "Come and get measured
for your coffin" The French expression
has certainly, in view of DIR. Magnan's
disclosures, melancholy picturesque
ness. This subject has to France ma
tional Importance, since, if the recent
report of DIR. Bergeron does not exag-
crate, the absintism introduced amongst
the French army in general by the AL
gerian officers did its part toward pro-
ducing that inertness and lack of vigor
which generals often complained of in
their sHbordinates during the disastrous
invasion of 1870.
