The Last Lost Steamer.

The investigation Of the disaster 10 the
Inman steamship City Of Washington has
addsd new circumstance to the complex
train of causes which LED to the unfortu-
uate wreck. That circumstances was the
deviation Of the compasscs, owing to the
presence of steel in the cargo. Some Of
the officers of the vessel had known SINH
lar results on other vessels. At the same
time, a New York nautical professor
thMks well-known aurora borealis may
have added Its malign influence to the
perturbing forces. The officers of the ship,
however, are satisfied that the tin and
iron under the decks were the chief cause
Of generalization.
The explanation does not, as far as we
can see, tighten the blame which ought to
be visited on the management of the ship.
1t simply adds new province of fact in
which the officers were just as ignorant as
in all the other. We knew before that
they were just as ignorant of the ships
position. We are ready to excuse them
from ''obsevations," of course, if there
was nothing to be seen in the heavens, but
we cannot excuse them for not sounding,
when, as Capt. Phillips himself confesses,
the steamer must have been somewhere
near America. AS to the steel in the
cargo, il does not appear whether the
captain knew of its presence or not. The
more elements of uncertainty there we're
surrounding him, the more implicitly and
completely he seems to have neglected the
one remaining datum at his command.
Trusting to Providence is excellent as a
last resort, but not to be encouraged as a
rival TO the sounding line and creased
lead.
OF course it is no new discovery that a
steel cargo distracts ships compasses.
The Atlantic ocean traffic is too largely
built on iren interests not to have found
that out. With clear weather, occasional
sights at the horizon and the heavenly
bodies. the deyiations may be corrected
There has also been aninstrument invent
ed to detect and correct these deviations.
1t is called the palinurus, in memory of
1Eneas'spifct. and perhaps it is sometimes
caught mapping and deserves pitching over
board, like that ancient mariner. It isat
least humane and promising field for in.
ventors wits. If our steamship companies
cannot, like the lavish father, furnish their
captains with a capacity" do let them
have palinurus.

The PIohibitory Law has met with the
usual fatality in Rhode Island. The Su-
preme Court has declared about one hun
dred complaints against liquor.sellers for
single sales. to be null and void, for want
of avcrmcnt that the liquor sold was not
liquor of foreign importation under the
United States revenue laws. This would
seem to.makc hole in the statute through
which coach and four can at any time
be driven, for how is the Government to
show whether the main ingredient of a
cocktail was imported or not?

VIGOROUS ADyERTIsING.-Mr. Barnun
in securing another Of his extraordinaf
successes in advertising, has reawaken IN
attention of busiress men, and has NOR
especially startled his rivals. 1t woult
be interesting to know exactly what pre-
portion of his success was brought ahou
by newspaper advertising as that obtainei
through the use Of posters. This cal.
not of course be ascertained, but we. tim
there can hardly be any doubt that, for
the amount Of money expended, the news
paper advertising brought in the largea
return, as it was also the most necessar
to the success OF the advertiser. In CO...
sidering the. estimate given below i
should be borne in mind that the poster
being Of an expensive charater, could bot
have been used with the overwhelming 4.
fort to be had from newspaper announe
ments. Advertisers should also consider that
circus business is exceptional, and the d.
feet to be gained from poster advertising
in that particular branch of business forms
no criterion for the needs of the egrlar
advertiser. The statement referred. % il
as follows
docs advertising pay? The colered
show bills which Barnum will use This
year cost S450,000. His small bills
circulars, etc, will cost $4,000 His
advertising in the newspapers will cost
5000, 900. Total 100000, the Whole
Of which is expended in printers ink.
What is the result of all this tremeD}ous
advertising? Receipts exceeding klO.-
600 a day, with net profit Of S3O00o
a week, $220,0o0 per month, or $4,000
Tor the entire season."

Death OF Judge Steele.

day oflast week. was born al Siausied, Z,
O.. February 6. 1887, graduated al
Dartmouth in 1851, was admitted 10 the
bar while a resident Of Derby Line, oil
which place he was some time postmaster
In 1861 be married Martha, daughter Of
d. II. Sumner Of Hartland, VT. Prac.ie'
ing law he soon passed to the front rank
in his profession, and was in November
1865. on the appOiniemcnt Of Chief JUS
tice Poland to the place in the United
Stales Senate made vacant by the death
of Judge Collamer, appointed by Gov.
Dillingham; TO the Supreme Court bench,
at the age of2H lie was successful as a
Judge and during his term removed to St.
Jchnsbury. In 1870 he declined rec
lection, his father-in-law having died,
leaving large estate which needed his
whole care, and removed to Hartland,
where he has resided for more than two
years. In 1870 he was appointed a
member of the State Board of Education,
and in 1872 a trustee of the State Libra
ry. COntcsting the congressional nominal
ton in 1879 18th Judge Poland, he re-
ceived the enthusiastic support Of a
large portion OF his district, and was de-
feated only after of the most hotiy con-
tested struggles Vermont has ever seen.
During the winter he was afflicted with
what was hoped to be a mere bron-
chial difficulty, and in March went to
New York for medical treatment Here
he gained until May, when he was worse
and returned home, remaining but few
days. He resigned his place upon the
Board of Education asd, acting under
medical advice, departed some six weeks
ago to Minnesota. Judge Steele was one
Of the brightest men that ever lived in
Vernon: and his death is sincerely re.
GREETED by all. Probably the most re-
markable exhibition of his intellectual
power was seen in the standing he attain
ed when on the bench, which was wonder
fully good in consideration of his years.
Although he was of course keenly disap-
pointed in the result of his campaign
against Poland, it will be impossible to
add his name to the long list of politicians
who have died fpem being beaten in cleo
tons as some are disposed to do, al.
though his constant speaking, IN Vermont
in his own campaign and afterwards in
New Hampshire, doubtless aggravated his
difficulty.
The funeral of Judge Steele took place,
at Hartland, Friday afternoon. Rev. j.
G.. Hubbard and Rev. j. h. Bittinger, of
Hartland, were the officiating clcrgylnen.
Judge Poland and prominent members of
the Windsor County Bar, were present.

thus seen that the Vermont Division Of
the p. & o. Il. Il. docs not pass through
an uninhabitcd country but through one
Of the most ferti and thrifty sections of
New England. The road is now COM
rlctcd and in successful operation from
Concord to Hyde Park and westerly from
Swanton for five miles. A large proper
ton of the grading on the remaining por-
tions of the line has been done and the
wo rk is being pushed forward with rapid
ity, in response to the demand of the bust =
ness already awaiting it.
As showing the interest the towns along
the line Of the road have cvinced in the
enterprise we would say that the capital
stock of 81, 200, 900 has been subscribed
for at home among the business men and
farmers La order TO provide for the COM
pletion and full equipment of the road the
three companies have united in tho issue
of joint First Mortgage Six Per Cent.
Geld Bond at the rate of. 100000 per
mile, with interest payable May and Nov
ember in Gold. These Bonds are in de-
nominations of $1,000, $500, and 500,
and VIC are now selling them at so and
accrued interest, at which price they yiell
nearly nine per cent. annual interest, aud
if held to maturity are a ten per cent. in
vestment.
Before visiting the line of the road we
considered that the fact that NJ essrs.
Fairbanks were connected with its build
ing and the management Of its affairs gave
strength to its Bends; but having now
seen the country tributary to it We feel
that tie road itself affords ample security
for even the NEST cautious investor, and
we therefore unhesitatingly recommend
them to our friends and customers.
