In our issne Of the 18th November
was a paragra Dh relating to the ship
Bcngala. The information wa; OBJ
tanned from one of the seamen, aud
without verifying, our reporter allowed
1t to be published. 1t las since been
proven that the whole thing wa a fabri-
cation. The seameI brought action
against the ship, and as they found pro
fessional meu hungry enough to carry
up their cause, even ater it became ap-
parent there were no grounds for it,
the matter came before Judge Green,
who Is acknowledged to be an accom-
plished admiralty lawyer, and here,
after hearing the testimony and the
argument Of one of the pla'ntittcQiQi
sellOrs, the Judge, without heaAHs
from the defence at all, ;1iwisscd the
case for want Of cause for action.
As the paragraph was widely copied
that was published against the Captain
of the Bengala, Santiago dc Gregory,
1t Is only fair to that gentleman that
the truth Of the matter, i.e.-that the
story rs given by the s;iilOrs of the ship
was fllsehOOd in every part-shOuld
be published also.
Another thought suggests itself to lis,
and that is the very melancholy state
Of affairs with members of Il respectable
profession when they will undertake 4
cause so grOundless and calculated to
injure our foreign trade as was that of
certain of the crew of the Bengala
against Capt. Santiago de Gregory.
lust so long aS men calling themselves
lawyers will disgrace the profession OF
the law and flor per cent. OF what
they can makel take up and carry into
OT courts the groundless complaints of
''forecaStle lawyers" just so long will
ship masters aud ship owners be put
to expence and delay, and as the law is
with US, there Is no chance for them to
get remuneration from their impeciI-
niOus prosecutors.
There Is law in force in some of the
States on the other side of the land that
compels a plaintiff, when bringing an
action against ship. to give bonds,
that in the event of his losing his case,
he will pay all damages, both pecuni-
ary aud otherwise, that may accrue to
said vessel in consequence OF the.aetiOn
brought. Ifsuch law were in force
on Puget Sound, actions in law like
this of the Bengala would be unknown
here. Where seamen might really have
bona file cause for an action against
ship they would have no trouble sn Sc
curing the necessary bonds. Some
change like this in our maTatime laws
is sorely needed, and the sooner it is
brought about the better it will be for
all three-Owners, masters and sailors.

HEALTH FROM FLOwERS.-It is re-
ported that an Italian professor has
discovered that perfumes from flowers
have chemical effect on the atmOS-
phere, converting its oxygen into
ozone, and thus increasing its health
imparting power. As the result of his
researches he states that essences of
cherry, laurel. lavender, pAint. juniper,
melon. fennel, and bergamot are among
those which develop the largest Qutln-
titles of ozone, while aniSe and thyme
deve'op it in Il less degree. Flowers
destitute of perfume have no such effect.
He very naturally recommends that
dwellcrS in marShy localities and near
places infected with animal emanatiOns
should surround their homes with II
prOfusiOn of the most OdOriterOuS flow

is we'll shown up. We also have an account
of the childhood and youth Of the great
German Reformer, Martin Luther, CLEAN

''Speech-day at Haileyburg" and ''Syra-

ginal articles.
The review department is fuIl-contain-
ing notices of quite a number of recent
books; in fact, this is one of the best fea
lures of the magazine.
In the list of contributors we see the
names of Fl. G. Carey, J. S. Whitney,
Prof Cope, Prof. Coppee and others of like
character. All that these men write will
be worth reading. The terms are lower

On Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock
a colored woman, living at Mr.. III. L.
Bradley's, on the corner of Asylum and
Crooked streets, heard considerable COM
motion among the fowls in coop in the
yard and looking out to ascertain the cause,
observed negro man providing around
the premises. She at once awakened Mr..
Bradley, who hurriedly gotinside his pants
and boots and seizing a double barrel shot
gun, started in pursuit of the thief, who
had taken an umbrella and a lady's skirt,
together with couple of chickens and left.
Mr.. Bradley overlook the rogue on Suns
init Hill and commanded him to halt,
which he declined to do, whereup0n Mr..
B. tried to fire Oh him but the gun being
wet, it wouldn't go off. He then
ran and overlook him and struck
breaking the stock in pieces. He then
made the prowler, who proved to be Ham
Shetterly, march back with his plumber.
Ham asked if he would let him go. Mr..
B. replied that he would give him just ten
minutes to confess his sins, whereupon the
terrified darkey dropped down on his ar
row bones in the mud and began praying
in earnest. When the time had expired,
Mr. Bradley, who had much difficulty in
restraining his laughter, told Ham he
would give him chance for his life. and
that he might have ten steps the start of
load of shot, which distance he rapidly
widened, and disappeared from that locali-
ty at two-forty gait, the worst frightened
rogue imaginable, doubtless expecting ev-
cry moment to feel handful of huckshot
ventilating his carcass. -t'

BE on Your Guard.

On yesterday evening man came to Mr..
Doziers house, at the corner of Crozier and
Clinch streets, and claiming that he was
from Nashville, said that he was sick and
wanted to go to bed, and did so whether or
not. He refused to give any name what
ever, but at once laid down. Mr.. Dozier
notified policeman Pat Kane who went
down to the house, and after taking look
at the "poor, sick young man." at once
recognized noted character by the name
of VIM. Allen, who some time since was
arrested here for horse stealing, but sue
eeeded in getting out of it by some means or
other and left the country. Pat is no ply
stefan, but he says the fellow did not look
to him like sick man, and knowing his
character. he could detect in it shrewd
plan on the part of Allen to remain in the
house and at night to help himself to what
ever he might find within the reach of his
hands. He accordingly advised him to
change his quarters, which he did.
Our citizens had better keepa good look
out, as every imaginable chance is made
use ofby these rogues to gain admittance
to their homes. sn

The Curse Of the Land.

History informs us that there Were two
profound scholars in classic Greece who
were so overcome on observing the habits
of their countrymen, that one went while
the other was provoked to laughter.
We find in our social system, favored as
we are with the highest form of civilization
known among any people, practices and
manners the most absurd of any that can
be conceived of.
Our crimes and follies are legion. YET
the most fragrant, fatal, and popular sin
committed by the rich man and the poor
man, the statesman and private citizen
the crime of the North and the South, the
East and the West; the cause of which
you will fiHd in our cities and towns.
Its blasting effects rests upon the fertile
plains and mountains of our productive
country. 1t has, in the language of one,
become ''the adopted Devil to whom we
pay tribute" laying in the arms of the
fiery Moloch tens of thousands of our peo-
pie every year.
} All are responsible-all are injured, ev-
cry family has felt its effects. The manu-
facture, sale, and drinking Intoxicating
liquors is the great crime of our country.
The old fashion of offering the inebriat-
ing cup in the name Of hospitality, has
nearly regained its former sway. Public
banquets and private tables have to be
loaded mot graced) with the decan-
ter and wine glasses offered to
guests with the apology, It's pure grape,
or pure current or pure blackberry" Hap
Ply would it be if this sketch We're true of
the outside world. Instead of this it is
currently reported that many protesting
Christians have adopted, or resumed, the
habit of offering wines to their guests,
thus Joining their influence with the cor
ruptions Of our evil world to poison their
friends, and demoralize their fellow men,
it is the way to pierce themselves and their
children with many sorrows.
Is there no remedy? Yes. Let all pro-
fessed Christians Danish wine from their
sideboards and offer to their guests GOLD
WATER. All honor to our noble Presi-
dent for his example in this direction.
Next, let our present Legislature give us
the Ohio or Illinois liquor law. Make the
liquor seller and the owner of the prop
erty where the liquor is sold responsible
for the damage resulting from the whisky
traffic. COLD WATER.
