lie Wanted 10 Know.

An individual writes to one OF the
weekly papers forinfOrmationa follows:
Il am engaged to n young lady whom
| love sincerely and who returns my
love. But not having been engaged
long, some Of her former gentlemen
acquaintance come in once in awhile to
spend the evening but, as q matter Of
course, l generally an there first. Now,
should 1 leave because they call, or
should 1 stay And II I am to stay,
how is the young lady to get rid OF
them, MS some Of them, not knowing
;the state OF the case, evidently expect
ing me to go first Please tell me what
10 do under the circumstances.
There are various methods by which
these persons can be scared Of. One
way lie to engage prizc.fghter to call
and buffet them upon the nose and haul
them around by the ears. Another way
is to set the house on fire. Another is
to secrete hungry dog in the piano,
and let him out suddenly when you
want the company to move. Still better,
why not introduce lightning.rod and
scatter them with thunderstorm, or
induce the hired girl to become insane,
and charge into the parlor with n gun ?
Or, II you must drive them away, begin
TO take up collection or threaten to
sing something or blow out the gas
and leave the stop-cock turned or
begin to tell about one Of your dreams I;
or try 10 borrow money OF them or
read the advertisements in the evening
paper aloud TO them or induce the
young lady TO pretend to go asleep and
10 snore or ask hor aunt TO come down
and entertain them while you and your
fair one spark sweetly in the corner.
Any one Of these methods will be cirec-
tive (; and what surprises us is that any
man should have so little ingenuity us
to be compelled to write to the news.

voting women, have deep personal in.

protected in our great city? Tho factis
conspicuous that neither our persons
nor our pockets are secure at any time.
Deeds OF violence are constantly occur

light /; not merely in secret by.ways and
concealed places, but in ourbest streets,
on our city cars, on ferry.boats, and in
stages. Numberless pickpockets pur-
sue their business successfully and
boldly. They are often known, both by
private persons and by the police, but
seldom are they brought topunishment.
The law seems powerless to put down
a great system of iniquity which is
known to exist in orr midst-the secret
combination of thieves and pickpockets.
The wife Of conductor on one OF our
most frequented lines of city cars re-
Gently stated that her husband pursued
his business in constant fear Of his own
life. Every day and every night, at
regular times, gang Of armed thieves
and pickpockets entered the cars. They
do not hesitate to let the conductor
knowthat they are armed, and their OBJ
iect is to rob passengers going to and
from the steam.cars. Strangers enter
ing the city, unsuspicious and encum-
bered with baggage, are easy victims.
But so skillful arc these roughs that
even the most cautious and careful may
find watches and pocket.books gone
without sign Of commotion. The

tors Of the road would probably cost

which have been committed, nothing is

the story which we hear from reliable

that we are not saie in our daily passage
to and from business, that no legal pro.
lection appears efficient. Must we al.
ways walk and ride with our hand upon
ourpocket ? Shallknown ruf1ians, even
il wearing the garb Of gentlemen, be
suffered to pursue their vile calling un.

A Meslern EdItor,s Comment.

Mr.. William E. Cramer, proprietor OF
the Milwaukee Frcning Wisconsin,
says Of thelost steamer Atlantic: "Du.
ring thepast three years We have crossed
the ocean in two steamers, the Cambria,
OF the Glasgow line, and the Atlantic,
OF the White Star line. They have both
since gone to the bottom, the Cambria
with 100 passengers, and the Atlantic
with $50. Acaptain has a great deal to
do with the safety OF ship. II he is a
first.clAss man, permeated with thor.
ougll sense OF duty, the chances Of safe.
ty on the sea are about equal 10 those
on the land. Capt. Craig was the com.
mander OF the Cambria in 1869, and
when his vessel entered the dangerous
channels between the north Of Ireland
and Scotland he was so careful that he
would not permit any other officer but
himself to stand on the lookout. And
there, with glass in hand, he would re.
main for hours. Capt. Perry was the
commander of the Atlantic when we
crossed the ocean in january, 1872. As
the vessel approached the American
coast his watchfulness was nnceasing by
night and by day, because, ho said,
"herc there Is real danger" When the
vessel was in the deep sea he left far
more to his subordinates, who were
trained men, but when nearing the coast
he felt that he could trust no one with
the responsibility but himself, and all
the passengers experienced a feeling Of
security under the guidance Of so tried,
so skiliiul and so thoughtful m officer.
We know nothing OF Capt. Williams, Of
the Atlantic, but, on nearing the coast,
we think iirst.class captain would have
considered It breach Of duty to be In
his berth. The Atlantic is built Of iron,
and,,cost $3.50, 900 in gold, and has been
in service only two years. She Is doubt
less insured in Liverpool, but no insur-
ancc, however large, can repay the com.
pany for the prestige which they will
lose by this terrible disaster"

he gave me orders to call all hands on
deck. ran forward and burst the
quartermasters' room open with my
foot, and all Of them, three in number,
got out through the panel OF the door.
Then and one OF them went aft and
got out the rockets and fired about
eight when the rocket box rolled away
from us. The captain gave orders TO
get the boats clear and save the passerf-
gers. / and the captain went to No. 8
boat and were getting her clear when he
asked me if the plugs were in her; l
told him they were not. As the pas
seBgers were huddled together in the
bottom OF tile boat, crying, 1 could not
get the plugs in.
The only youth saved from the wreck
makes the following statement
Myname is John Hinley, lam about
twelve years OF age. IgOton board the
Atlantic at Liverpool, with my mother,
father, and young brother, We all be-
longed to Ashton, Lancashire, The
first thing worth mentioning that he
knew of was that he WINS asleep in his
berth when great noise awakened him,
although he did not hear any voices.
There seemed to be great rush, and
he stumbled out Of bed and into the
crowd. The greater portion passed
him, but he saw six men crowding into
top berth in the upper Gteerage, and
lie followed them. One OF the men
broke through window and got out,
and the boy did the same, one kind
hearted individual pushing him through
before he had made the egress himself.
Once outside he held on by the ropes
until himself and his companions were
rescued by the life boat. What became
OF his parents and brother he did not
know, but is certain that they were
drowned. The family wero on their
way to New York at the invitation OF
two'married daughters settled there.
Tho crew was one OF the hardest that
was ever gathered in any vessel. They
were picked up about the Liverpool
wharyes and docks, and 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that they were kept
under control during the voyage.
The storekeeper says that one Of them
made m attempt to snatch his watch
and chain one night, but was ioiled,
On another occasion, during the storm
OF the 25th OF March, he states that
some OF tho crew attempted to break
into the spirit.room, and it was for a
while feared that force would have to
be used to prevent them. When the
boats came from the shore to rescue the
survivors the sailors repeatedly pushed
the passengers aside or knocked them
down and jumped into the boats them
selves.

where the sharp hook strikes, whether

and legs that were bare were seen
around, and all were bleached and

A loud slamming OF the door caused
