Gus.

HER PERILoUs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SENT
HER BY THE NEW YORK BOARD OF UNDER-
wRITERs-THE CONDITION OF THE STEAM
SHIP SOUTH CAROLINA STILL UNCHANGED.
Private dispatches from Norfolk, Va, received
in this city yesterday, state that the British
steamer san Marcus, which went ashore on New
Years. Day to the south OF Cape Henry. remains
hard ana fast in very critical position. At last
reports she is end on, with rudder and sternpost
gone, and also the blades OF her propeller partly
gone. To tighten and give her chance Of floating
at high tide, about eighty bales OF cotton
together from seven to eight thousand
San Marcus is commanded by Captain
Brunow. and when wrecked was on her passage

the crippled vessel by MessrsL b. j. Baker. OF
Hoo VINO w9n nave sent cas Yea @
A large number OF experienced wreckers have
also been sent to the scene OF the disaster TO help
estimated to be worth from $780, 600 TO $3.50, 900.
small portion OF it Is insured In this city.
San Marcus Is stranded Is on the northeastern
coast OF Virginia, at the entrance OF Chesapeake
Bay on the South side, and Is twelve miles south.
ASSISTANCE SENT BY NEW YORK UNDERWRITERS.
The New York Board OF Underwriters, on ao-
risks ON the cargo OF the San Marcus have sent
down by rail- Captain John Young to represent their
interests and he will probably arrive at the scene
Of the disaster this morning. The wreckng steamer
Relief which had Just returned from the wreck OF
the steamship South Carolina, stranded OF Bsrne-
gat Inlet, Is also now on her way to this new
wreck, provided with wrecking utensils and ma
terlal and q large gang OF wreckers. The Relief,
which Is commanded by Captain WOolcot, Is eX-
pected to arrive alongside the San Marcus to.
night or early tomorrow morning. Captain
Perry, agent Tor the Coast Wrecking Company, is
on board the Relief.
THE WRECK OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA.
Yesterday the steamship South Carolina, now
lying at twice her length, from Barnegat Inlet, IN
four feet Of water, had not yet been noated OF into
the inlet, where there are from eight to ten feet
OF water, In which 1t is calculated the vessel Will
noat on an even Keel. Fourteen days have now
elapsed since she struck. She is still in good con-
dltiOn and no leaks have been discovered. About
1880 tons OF her cargo have been discharged by
The Coast Wrecklng COMPANY, under the super
vision OF Captain Merritt, who stlll remains on
board. large proportion Of this cargo
has been landed at Staten Island. The recent
northwest winds have had the effect Of keeping
the tides down, but should the wind veer round
to the eastward, will raise the tide some Jour
five 1eet, wien renewed efforts will be made to
haul her into deep water. When the South Caro-.
lima struck about 30 bales Of cotton were thrown
overheard, OF which about $50 have been washed
ashore and picked up al sea by passing vessels.

ELEVATE THE M1ND.-Raise the mind
to higher standard, and to certain ex-
tent the features are compelled to go
with it. How different are the faces Of
even the most stupid under the influence
of pleasurable excitement, or just and
generous Indignation or wrong! you can
scarcely recognize them as the same peo-
pie. Elevation of mind imparts grace
and dignity to form and features but of
all sentiments, benevolence to our fellow
men, is one of the best. We defy any
woman to relieve starving family in
person, or administer sympathy and con-
ISOLATION to affliction, and look altogether
ugly. Observe enthusiastic people in
their moments of inspiration-even ar
dent lovers Of science in their description
of a new discovery, or conjectures regar-
ding a new system, and then turn to some
inanimate regular beauty, who listens to
them as unmovcd as a statue, and ask
yourself candidly which is the real
essence of beauty, the form or the express
sion.

The STOCKINGS OF THE PERIoD.-The
Paris shops are full Of the most fanciful
designs in this one detail of feminine at
tire. They are made in cream color,
lemon color, orange yellow, straw color,
pink, pale blue, pale green, lilac, light
brown, dark brown, crimson, scarlet,
purple-in short, in every shade Of every
color. But the precise tint is only half
the question; the designs worked upon
the stockings are by far the most impor-
tant part of it, as regards fashion, and
these are of the most varied description.
One pair of stockings which excited
much admiration from the passers of a
certain well-known shop in Paris was in
lemon color, and the instep of each foot
was covered with punches of black cur
rants, with their twigs and leaves, most
delicately embroidered in the colored
silks.
Another example of ornamentation lay
close at hand, in the form of a black silk
stocking, round the leg of which q garter
of pink rosebuds and leaves winding up
ward from the ankle was exquisitely en-
broidered. This last fashion is very
popular just now. Stockings so embroid-
cred are, of course, enormously dear.
Few women can afford to buy many such
expensive articles of dress as these gar
landed stockings; therefore it becomes a
matter of eager competition among the
leaders of fashion to secure as many
specimens of the latest rage as their
purses will allow. The mania is instill-
ed, and henceforth the woman of the
world takes rank according to her stock
ings. Garlauds of flowers do not hold
the field alone, it must be observed. In
some cases inscriptions and devices are
embroidered round the legs of the mo-
dern stockings, and rows and patterns
are worked in colored silk stars or spots.
The ground, however, Of all this work
must, on no account, be white.-Homc
Journal.

- The Boston Herald tells this: "The
day following our centennial festivities,
the following incident occurred in a
South end saloon: A friend had invited
one of the South Carolina soldiers into
the saloon to put another turf on the
hatcbet. While standing at the bar, a
stranger came in. The Carolinian sud-
denly dropped his glass and closely eyed
the stranger. His gaze was so steady
and peculiar, that the friend began to be
alarmed and to fear that the hatchet was
about to be dug up again. Directly the
Caroliniau asked the stranger if he knew
him. There was no recognition; where
upon the Carolinian asked him if he was
ply. "Aud you were onced stationed at
such a place?" Eyes" "And took
part in such a skirmish ?" eyes. y
"Well, I thought so," replied the Carroll
nian, and raising his hat showed large
scar on his forehead, saying, "There's
your sabre mark, my boy; come up and
take drink"

HOTEL LIFE IN THE CITY OF MEXICO.
Everything in the way of living is
cheap in Mexico. Of course prices range
higher in the capital than elsewhere, but
even there the hotels, for instance, fur
nish excellent rooms at from $50 to $50
per month. At the Hotel 1turbide the
rooms are very large, and usually divided
by curtains, so as to make parlor and q
bedroom. For $50 a month you can pro-
cure one of these apartments, handsome
ly furnished and efficiently attended.
The scheme of the hotel extends no
further. Your bath and your meals are
outside affairs. On the ground floor of
the Hotel Iturbide is an excellent French
restaurant and very good bath house.
These are separate establishments. The
price of the bath is two reals twenty
five cents), and at the restaurant two
persons can contract for meals at $3.50
each per week. The Gran Tivoli is ar
ranged as a park, with lovely grounds,
fountains, streams, and flowers in profu-
sion. The dining places are scattered
about here and there Chinese pagodas,
Swiss cottages, French chalets in minia-
ture-you choose the retreat which
plcases you the most. 1t is here that you
find the great tree, on one of whose
branches is pretty little cabin, to which
you ascend by spiral stairway, if you
prefer dining so far from mother earth.
/ believe it will be conceded by all who
have partaken of the menu of the Gran
Tivoli that better cooked, better served,
and more elegantly appointed dinner
could hardly be found anywhere in the
world. The cooks are of the finest Paris
ian schools, the wines genuine, and the
accessories fascinating.--NcO Orleans

The Washington correspondent of

- The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun writes: "It is very
gratifying to record that for the first time
in the long period of the ten years which
have elapsed since the close of the war
those who sit in high places exhibit no
disposition to stir up political feeling
against the South. This is the first Sum-
mer since 1865 that this city has not been
made the headquarters for the dissemina-
ton all over the country of the most
malign ISLANDERS upon the Southern peo-
pie. 1t seems safe to say that this unhap-
py business is at last at an end. The
Southern people must have some feeling
of this kind, for all the intelligence
which comes here from that section re-
presents the aspect of business affairs as
most hopeful"

Rowell's Newspaper Directory show

- Rowell's Newspaper Directory shows
the failure of one thousand newspapers
in this country during the past year, the
loss to publishers, subscribers and advcr-
tisers amounting to over eight million
dollars. Among those who went into the
newspaper business and lost heavily
thereby were 275 merchants and adven-
turers, 3l5 school teachers, 81 lawyers, t
blacksmiths, SO plasterers, 10 farmers,
200 fanatics of various classes afflicted
with literary leanings, 100 ambitious, but
visionary men, who drew upon their fa-
theirs and thus suddenly exhausted large
margins of the paternal capital, and 6
lottery men.

asked if the yankees were sincere i'll
their centennial sentiments" His re-
ply was Just as sincere as the South
ern people are" Ahem :!

WASHINGTON, D. G., February Is.
SENATE.
The Senate met at IL o'clock and after The
usual reception of memorials,
MIR. Boutwell, spoke upon the Louisiana mat
ter. He urged that the South had made
great mistake 10 the supposition that any aid
could come from the Democratic party Of the
North. The injustice done to loyal people In
the South always increased just in proportion
to Democratic successes in the North. He
argued to show that the white leagues OF Lou
isiaua were only the Ku. Klux under new
form of organization.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House of Representatives was engaged
with the Revenue bill.
Mr.. Harris, of Va, opposed the additional
tax of four cents per pound on tobacco, urged
that it would break up all the tobacco manu-
factories in the South, and deprive OF llVell-
hood thousands Of white aud colored workmen
in the midst of winter. He could not believe
that the American Congress could consent to
ruin portion of the Uoiop. If the industrial
interests of one State is injured, it is an Injury
to the finances of the whole country.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Beck and
