bs quite mp to this feature of the case except
the President and Secretary Richardson.
LILLE RESPONSIRILfrY.

Either the officers OF the Loeb Earn arc ex-
tremcy fortunate in getting their side Of the
case before the public, or they are in fact
proying their own want of blame in the
disaster of the Vile du Havre, and throwing
heavy responsibility upon the officers and
crew of the latter vessel. From this state
mcnt Capt. SurmOnt is universally excepted
He appears to have done his duty admirably
through the three days preceding the catas-
trophe, and when he went to snatch iew
moments of reposc, to have left strict orders
that he must be walked if anything happened
But he was not called upon the appearance
of the Loeb Earn, and only his sailorly IN
stinct caused him to rush from his cabin at
the fatal moment lie assembled the bridge
for the few moments that remained, and sank
with his ship, being rescued like the rest IN
the water.
But from all that is stated by those on board
the Loeb Earn, as well as by those intelligent
and lcar-headed observers, Mcssrs. Witthaus,
Waite, and Bishop, il appears that the Captains
behavior was not generally initiated by his
subordinatcs. The story told by the people
on tho Loeb Earn has u disagreeable look.
The first boat which reached her from
the Vile du Ilavrc contained five men only
of the officers and crew Of the French vessel.
who had secured their own safety without the
slightest regard for the passengers. The
officer who seems to have been primarily
responsible for the collision can never be
heard in his own justification, but as the eyi-
dence stands at present 1t seems difficult to
resist the conclusion that lack Of presence
of mind Oh the Vile du IIavre brought the
vessels together, and lack of discipline ter
ribly aggravated the resulting loss of life.

TRAGEDY PURE And SIMPLE

The best tragedies which they give us at the
theater have about them an atmosphere OF arti-
iicalty, no matter how sanguinary their Win
Acts may be. They move only IA the rep
resentation of something which might be; if
il were otherwise, il we were less hackneyed
in our play haunting, they would move us ont
of the boxes and send us bowling to our beds
The only real tragedies are in the houses OF
humanity the true blood is spilled upon
hearth-stones and extinguishes the domestic
fires. The drdmGtis persona are maniac mothers,
abused wives husbands beside themselves, and
starving children. We print ghastlier tragedies
every week than are to be found III tbat
multitudnous collection called The British
Drama Here is one.
or course tho drama was enacted in France
The scene was at Vauves, Department OF the
Seine. The leading woman is widow-her
husband died during the Commune. She had
been the mother of ten children, and when
they we're all dead save one, she began to
doubt whether even for this small spared
remnant she could find bread enough to keep
the precious life in the little frame. She was
sick, and had thus lost her employment; her
landlord, TO whom she owed the rent OF nine
months, was pressing her to leave her lodging.
1t is curious to notice how she did precisely
as a French woman would be likely to do un-
der such circumstances. She dressed herself
in her best. She made like toilet for her
boy. Then she lighted two brazlers OF char
coal. lay down with the lad, and waited for
the end The boy soon died, but she
could not die. She arose, lit more charcoal.
and patiently waited for release. The hours
went by, six-andthTty of them, and she
waited there, with the dead child, for the
death which would not come to her. To the
neighb0rs who knocked she said that she was
ill, and so sent them away again. AT lGst
she could bear the horror no longer. She
admitted the villagers and showed them the
corpse of her son. Strange that the saddest
tragedy should be one of life and not of
death They arrested her; they tried her
for the murder of her child but how could
any jury find heart to convict her Guilty
yes Not guilty Yes Why should she
be sent to the gullotine The jury meant tn
he 'merciful but was it. when it doomed her
to live
We should grow hardened and pitiless in
this world of crime and sorrow and suffering,
if sometimes an incident like this did not
come to move our compassion and to soften
our hearts, 1t is difficult to keep fast hold of
those affections which alone can save us from
utter selfshness The ties of eOnsanguinity
God in His mercy has made very dear to us,
partly for their own immediate and inestima-
BILE value, and partly that they may keep
alive our consideration for our fellow-crea-
lures. This is a cold place, and it is not.
Sometimes we are rough with the helpless,
and sometimes we are filled with tender and
practical pity for their fate. Charity is very
comprehensive wOrd-the Winter before US
NAV do much to develop its many precious
Specifications.

the capture of the Virginius was the death
blow of the insurrcction. We did not then
agree with him. aud he has probably changed
his mind by this time. The blood OF the cap

new victories for the CreOles. They have
never been so active, so audaGous, anu
so successful as during the last few

could have foresccu such a result, he would
