THE LEGAL ROMANCE OF THE
SEA.

Maritime law Is q very complicated thing gnd is
very little understood by either seamen or lands
men, and, therefore, we give number OF cases to
which at the present moment great interest can
not help being attached.
The brig John Gilpin in going out of the harbor
OF New York, grounded on the Outer Middle, below
the Narrows, in northeast storm OF wind and
snow and pilgeC. The master and crew left her in
the evening and went up to the city. The salvors,
who were wreckers and kept vessel and crew In
readiness to go out during the winter to the assist
ance of vessels in distress, hearing at Staten
Island OF the condition In which the brig had been
left, Immediately proceeded to her and engaged in
saving the cargo and materials The next morn
ing the master returned from the city to the wreck
In a steamtug, but without lighters which were
necessary to save the cargo and materials,
and demanded OF the salvors the surrender of
the to him. which they refused asserting
that they were legally In possession as salv0rs and
should retain it In that character. In the after
noon an agent OF the owners arrived and de-
manded the possession, which the savors dis
regarded; but they employed all the men who
came down and were willing to work in saving
the property. At the close or the day the princi
pal salvor was arrested on warrant obtained on
charge of larceny committed on board the
wreck, and was convened to the city, and the
pOSScSSlOn OF the vessel passed INTO the hands OF
the owners agent. There was no attempt made
TO prove the charge Of larceny. The warrant was
simply procured to get possession OF the wreck,
Judge Belts decided that as she was absolutely
deserted for twelve or fourteen hours although
the master returned next morning by eight or
nine O'Clock, yet the wreck was manifestly
derellct
The packet Glasgow was sunk by q collision in
twentyfour feet OF water at the mouth OF the river
Thames The master left the vessel In charge of
the sailors ana went up to London to inform the
owners. One Of the owners came Immediately
down with wrecking force On the arrival of
this force 1t found that the sailors had got nm
various articles from the deck with boathooks,
and had hired bsrges and lighters to raise the
vessel. The owner discharged them, but without
Offering to pay them for the services they had
rendered, and they continued to bower around the
vessel and obtrude their services. several OF
them persisting in going up to London on
she vessel after she had been raised by the
owner though thew were not permitted to do any
thing on board. The Court held that they were
entitled to salvage for services rendered up to the
time Of their discharge but that afterward their
conduct was reprehenslble, and that 1t would be
most dangerous doctrine to hold that on the river
Thames tina: any set Of persons could DO at liberty

THE CLAIM OF THE NATIONAL
STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

The National Steamship Company intend to
make claim against the Transatlantic Company
for the carrying OF the passengers from the date
OF the I'd OF April until the 18TH as well as for the
delay in rescuing the passengers and crew. The
agent OF the National line states that he feels i'm
PEELED to this course OF conduct from the fact OF
the outrageous accusations which have been made
against the officers OF the Greece and against the
general conduct OF the persons attached to the
line. Mr.. Hurst states that this course would not
have been resorted TO had it not been for the
matters had taken lately, and that under present
circumstances the claim would be made for the
passage money.

THE ABANDONED EUROPE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In the published accounts OF the steam ship
Europe it seems that she was still anoat when last
seen from the Egypt, which rescued the prize crew.
When finally abandoned the Europe had no mast
head lights or side lights set, and no lights in the
saloon or anywhere on board. She was In the
usual track OF transatlantic steamers or else the
Greece and Egypt would not have come up with
her; consequently there was great risk
at night OF other steamers or sailing vessels run
ming into her at full speed and being destroyed
themselves. As derelict vessels often float for
days the question arises, Is there not or should
vessels to be fred or lights set to warn other ves-
sells VIGIA.

Great FEAR concerning the steamship
Nedcrland.
PHILADELPHIA, April Is, 1874.
No little anxiety Is manifested in this city con-
corning the safety OF the steamship Nederland OF
the Red Star line which was due at this port from
seven to nine days ago and which has not yet been
heard from. During the same storm that
so disabled the steamship Pennsylvania the
port. she received considerable repairs, and left
port for the second time on March 20. Hence
she has been at sea twenty-one days, and no tiu-
ings whatever have reached the manager OF the
line concerning her, save that she was '.spokenn
some time since by the Abyssinia.
She Is heavily Te1ghtod and carries few pas
sengers In her steerage. The company seem to be
confident that the steamer Will turn up all right,
but those interested are beginning to entertain
alarm for her safety.

It is Not Generally Known


That the shortest possible route between the East
and Great West is through St. Louis, over the St
Lonis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line.
This road has gained surprising importance by
reason of immense expenditures in the last two
years, of over two million dollars, besides earnings
in improvements oe roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality of new steel and iron rails
on broad new ties and by substituting for ordinary
arsnew reclining chair coaches elegantly carpeted
and fitted, with dressing rooms with toilet conTen-
fences for ladies' gentlemen and families travelling
with children, irithoH any extra charge. This line
runs six fast Express trains between the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri Rivers, two more than any
other road, and connects with ali the great Land
Grant Roads in the West, and has adopted all mod
ern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards
against accidents, including night and day watch
men, who inspect the road before and after the
passage of each train to see that everything is in
order. We recommend those contemplating trip
West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City and North
ern Short Line, it being the only line running
through cars between st. Louis and Omaha, and
for tickets over this excellent line refer our
readers to any ticket agent selling through tickets
to the West. For map, circulars and time tables
address either Geo. D. Teller, Buffalo, N. Y; or
P. B. Groat, st Louis, Mo-, either of whom will
fnrish any information desired.

Now is the Winter Of Our Diacon3
tent made Glorious
by the arrival of beautiful spring,
with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and. brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house,
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &c, to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers
Now, such being the case, it is q
matter of the greatest importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the lesst cost. That ''the
best is the cheapest in the end,' is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
al. First it is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
lam speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eekstein Hills & Co., for which /
am special agent, rs ~ aaf
It has now been tried in this city
and county for ten years, and nsver
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And I do firmly be-
lieve and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, DC, we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years
Zinc Paint, Graining COlors, Var
nishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, Of the best quality,
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated; /;
Whitewash wont do, it rubs of, and
soon looks as bad as ever. % / have the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa

must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying good deal, batif
you think of papering, don't buy un-
til youlook at my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. Butdoyou ask where is this
place :? Where are such bargains to
be had /? And where only are the
