nights previous to the disaster
The sea began to break over the vessel
half an hour after she struck, and the
tide rose twenty-five feet before day
break Only one woman was saved. The
survivors who were landed at Tresco
escaped in the Schiller's own boats.
A special dispatch from London on
the 9th to the New York Herald says the
total number of lives lost is 81. Of
these over 100 are women. The special
says: 1.-The survivors were taken to-day
from Penzance to Plymouth, whence
they will be sent forward to Hamburg,
where there is the greatest excitement.
1t is asserted that life-saving belts were
issued to the women. 1t is certain that
most of the passengers found none. An
order was given that the first boat should
take the women and children. This boat
capsized. POLICEMAN says seven boats
were launched and only two lived. The
others were STAYED and swamped imme-
diately. The cries for help lasted until
three o'clock. The last voice heard was
that of little child in the cabin. It is
not probable that the boats could have
lived even if they had been successfully
filled. The whole number saved is for
ty-four. Thirty bodies have been recov-

1t is capable CT more than culinary ap-

undertake to give anything have some

Self-Culture and Self Sacrifice.

The fact is that self culture and self
sacri1iee, rightly understood, are not hos
tile forces between which we must
choose The two things are so bound
up together that we cannot have either
one of them to any power and pur-
pose without having good deal of the
other. Self-denial is necessary to self
culture and self culture to all noble and
beautiful self-sacyifce.
Self-denial is necessary to self-culture.
One can see that upon the lowest planes
OF self-culture as we'll as on the highest.
l know that there are those who think
that the symbol of all early education is
sugar-coated pill. Mrs. Browning
sings of the ability which mothers have
to teach loves holy earnest in pretty
play" And there are those who would
persuade US that all youthful education
can be insinuated in this delightful man
ner. | doubt it very much. 1t seems to
me that before child is many years old
he ought, if possible, to be made to
understand that this mortal life of
ours is something more than great
playhouse; that there is real hard work
that must be done, and the sooner some
of it is done the better. Self-culture
does not properly begin until these
things are clearly apprehended. But the
apprehension of these things means self
denial. 1t means that some thing must
be given up for the sake of some other
things, some pleasant things for the sake
of some things which may not be imme-
diately pleasant, but which are essential
to the ultimate establishment of our
right to be here on the planet enjoying
the various benefits of existence. AS
soon as possible every child should be
made to know that as life is perpetual
receiving it ought, in all fairness and
honesty and decency, to be perpetual
giving.

AN AWAKENING REMARK

A respectable married couple came
in from the interior on the Central
railroad last night, and were compel
led to lay over at the depot for some
time for the eastern train. Meantime
the wife becoming fatigued with the
journey, apparently fell into a doze.
The husband improving the opportu-
nifty presently fell into conversation
with one of O,tumwa's sirens who had
dropped in to also take the eastward
bound train.
1t seems that wife was playing
possum, or that she was sleeping with
one eye open, like tho dutchmau's hen
AT anyrate that devoted and Affect
tomato father and husband made a re-
mark to thst aforesaid demirep which
was perhaps tho most awakening re.
mark that wifo had ever heard. Her
energetic use of the choicest idioms Of
the language brought Tilton of the
depot house and all his force to the
font aud came nearly calling out the
fire company. Presently the train
came in and that triumphant wife
marched that guilty Pater Famtlias
| aboard the train the very picture OF
utter wretchedness.
Doubtless by this time he hasn't 9
hair between him and Heaven, and
the verdict will be served him right
MORAL.

Train Completely Wrecked-Thrcc
IlPersons seriously Injured.
Yesterday afternoon freight train
on the Iowa Central, going north,
when near Grinnell in rounding q
curve spread the track and plunged
through bridge into the creek nearly
thirty feet below. The train was com.
posed principally Of cars loaded with
coal, and probably was travelling at a
high rate of speed, and was pulled by
two engines. The first engine passed
the bridge with the exception of tho
tender in safety, while the one follow.
ing plunged through the creek below.
The engineer Mr.. Drinkle, Andy Alb.
bott, fireman, and the brakeman, a
young mau by the name Of Williams
were severely injured--the two lstter,
fatally, in all probability.
We understand the wreck ia perfect
ly fealful and the engine almost do
molished. The wreck was SO complete
that the passenger train was delayed at
that place, five or six hours before the
track could be sufficiently cleared to
allow 1t to pass. As to who was to
blame or particulars further than q
given above w cannot learn.

A man whose name we have not

who had located just south of the State
line, hired team of q neighbor q few
days since and started to Maryville for
his goods. On his return he lost his
road in the night, stopped at . house
to get some one 10 pilot him ont. The
man refused to do this but directed
him 10 the road, the stranger being be-
wildered did not find his way out, but
after wandering around for time in
the timber, at last run off the bank Of
. creek, he falling on the ice, and the
load on top of him. The weight of the
load crushed his chest, and skull, and
drove him through the ice into the
water,in which condition he was found
five days afterwards, one hand and his
feet sticking out. In the fall, one of
the horses became extricated from the
wagon, the other standing for the
space of two days, with his feet on q
bank about one and . half feet above
the ice, and not more than two feet
wide. The loose animal staying with

"IowA's TEMPLE OF MUsrc.-It has

doubt that Iowa can support as large
music establishments and art empori.
ums as any State in the West. We
question whether there ia, outside oil
Chicago or st. Louis. another music
house whose sales foot up anything
like the great music emporium of j.
l.. Stewart, at Ottumwa While in
his establishment for few moments,
few days ago, we saw three Taylor
" Farley organs leave with their
purchasers, and orders for six more
received by mail. Tho sales of tho
concern average about hundred or
gana and fifteen pianos . month. Be-
sides this Mr.. Stewart keeps the only
full and complete stock of musical
merchandise in the West, for which
he has an extensive sale in lows,
Nebraska, Northern Missouri and
Kansas. The Taylor g. Farley or.
gan which he handles is unsurpassed
for purity and fullness of tone,
while it is ut the same time melo-
dious and fluty to superb degree of
brilliancy, with bass that Is rich,
powerful, and sonorous. The "Valley

fault of instruments of other manufac.
ture has been carefully guarded
against and studiously avoided by the

PROBABHE SUICIDE.

John n. Young who died in this
city yesterday morning was about rs
or so years of age and has lived in
this city, the principal part of the time
since 1859. We havn no desire to say
anything that will cause any person
pain, but give the particulars as we find
them, without comment. He was &C.
| cused Of burning his residence in Mt.
Pleasant, and from some circumstan.
COS peculiar to the case, the insurance
men concluded the dwelling had been
fired by Young himself. After some
persuasion, and the promise on the
part of the agents of the insurance
company, that il he would make q full
confession the company would not
prosecute him If he confessed the
crime. Some how, or other, however,
the Grand Jury of Henry county got
hold of the story, and wo understand
found an Indictment against him and
he was arrested in this city and lodged
in Jail here from which he was re.
leased In very short time on bail.
After his release he complained OF
being unwell and died at his residence
in this city OF poison as above stated.
The evidence Of Drs. Hinsey and
Douglass shows that no died from
strychnine or nux vomica, or some of
its preparations. Below we give the
verdict of tho Coroners jury:
An inquisition holden at Depot
Hotel in Wapello, county State Of
Iowa, on the 25th day of February, A.
D., 1875. before f. L. Lathrop Coroner
of said county upon the body OF John
N. Young, lying dead, by the Jurors,
whose names are hereto subscribed.
The said jurors upon their oaths do
say he came to his death by poison
administered by some person un-
known, the poison being either nux
vomica or strychnine.

abandon the old route, and as soon az
the weather will permit, to commence
the construction of new track fol-
lowing the river bank as nearly as pcs.
sible from Keokuk to Belfast or some.
where near that place. The new route
will be shorter, safer, and will save
much time in getting freight over the
road.
