The great lesson of the Wawssset dis

The great lesson of the Wawasset dis
aster is the need of an indpendem bureau
of Inspection for steamboats,. The inspec-
ton is aow an incident of the treasury,
and is miserably defective. The best engi-
neers of the nation should be summoned to
study the all-importaut matter Of making
life safer upon our steamers. A bureau
should be organized with this duty alone
to do. Thousands Of precious lives are
sacrificed for want Of this provision. Every
soul lost on the Wawasset was sacrificed
to the reckless neglect of the most ordinary
precautions for the safety of passengers.
Yet this boat steamed out from the very
shadow Of the treasury, which department
was made responsible for the inspection.
Such gross case of the neglect OF duty
ought to arouse universal Indignation and
direct the mind Of the country to reform
the present system, and the organization
of bureau supervised by the best men in
the profession, who are alone competent to
deal with the business Of inspection. Till
then these horrors will 60 on increasing as
the necessities of trade and travel increase
the number of boats.

BEES ON A SMALL. SCALE. There are
many householders whose means will not
enable them to buy COW or provide for
her were they in possession of one. But
they may be equal to the purchase of q
colony of bees and to provide hives for the
swarms resulting therefrom. Bees, like
other stock, require pasturage, but, unlike
horses, cattle, and sheep, they are free
commoners, ranging at will in search OF
stores, nor can they be arrested and pun
ished for their intrusion upon premises
alien to their owners. A single colony OF
bees, in good condition in the spllng, may
be counted upon to double or triple their
numbers in single season, securing ample
store for winter consumption, while sup.
plying gratifying surplus each autumn
for household uses. This accumulation
will prove most acceptable in families, es.
pecially while the price Of butter rules SC
high as to place it beyond the reach O
those not blessed with elongated and pleth
oric purses. Try colony of bees as a,
experiment. Formers Union. -9 17--

1he wawaset Tragedy.

Not since the terrible explosion at the
Arsenal years ago, carrying death to so
many families in this city, has the COM
munity had such shock as that expeIien-
ced through the loss of the steamer Wawa-
set with its precious freight of loved ones,
mothers, wives, daughters, sons, husbands.
the hope, pride and support of so many
homes.
1t is too soon to fix the exact blame
for this awful disaster, but there is al
ready the usual painful tale of unavaia-
BILE life-preservers, boats that could not
be launched, fire apparatus that would
not serve the purpose on the emergency,
and hopeless waste of life almost wi,h-
in a stones throw of the shore.
1t seems, however, that the steamer was
not beached in shoal water before the fire
had full possession, as was at first repol ted,
but though steam was put upon her when
the fire was discovered, the engine sud
denly stopped working through some de-
rangement of the machinery by the fire.
when the boat was in eight feet water; and
though the boat touched the shore in four
or five feet water, subsequently, under the
slackened impetus it seems probable
that she did not ground at that point,
oue iioLtSu ihbO uccpcF WAFER
before she finally sunk. This
would account for the fact that so many
were drowned. Another reason why SO
many women and children perished was
that they were huddled aft, and were there
exposed to the full force of the flames, as
the strong draft carried the fire in that
direction. The fire spread so rapidly in
the middle Of the steamer as soon to cut
off all communication from the stern to
the bow. ha. T 4 tHa
There were some five hundred life
preseryers on board, but they were in the
gangways on the main deck, and few of
them were reached. This shows the
necessity that some more available place
for their storage should be made, as well
as that some better lile-saving apparatus
than theusual boats should be provided
for steamers. Two or three RATS, of some
light material, that could have been readily
dropped into the water without possibility
of capsizing, would have saved every life
on the Wawaset. - Washington Star. 81. .

THE attempt to revive the Democratic
party of 1868, 1864, and 1850, and to wipe
away from it the apostacy Of 1879 which the
Consei vatives are making in Virginia, finds
little favor among those who were high in
the councils of the old organization. One
of the very ablest men of the party is Mr..
Groesbeck, of Ohio. His opinion of the
condition Of that party is given at some
length in the letter which has been
some time before the public. lie says:
a. ~ believe the historical Democratic
organization is spoiled. Blundering con-
stantly during the last ten years, and
scattered by many defeats, it surrendered
finally at the last presidential election. Ii
cannot recall that surrender or the confes-
sion then made, and it has no longer
strength enough for victory. In this ex-
tremity it will be wise to lay aside the old
organization and to enter new one"
An Alabama editor expresses the same
truth in homelier phrases. The News,
published at Limestone, puts the idea in
this way: @
"If this paper can do any better, it
will fight no more under the Democratic
flag - e
"There is not scrap of the old Demo-
cratic banner left big enough to darn a
hole in pair of breeches. y
One had as well sing hymns to dead
mule as undertake to reconcile the animos-
tiles engendered by last years folly"
