Loss of an Austrian War Vessel

The Austrian nan-of-war Saias
persisted in a violent storm off Messina
on the night of the Both of November. A
private letter, describing the catastrophe.
speaks In the highest terms OF the con
duct of the commander and his crew on
the occasion. After the ship had strug
gled In vain against the storm for several
hours, it became evident that she could
not hold out much longer, and the COM
mander, Lieutenant Trapp, ordered her,
about five p. M, to be Earned towards
the shore, in the hope OF finding a
suitable place for landing. At half
past nine the ship struck, and the crew,

The Mouth of the Mississipni.

The Secretary of War sent to the
House on Tuesday a report of the Board
OF Engineers appointed to prepare plans
and estimates for the deepening of one
or more of the natural outlets of Missis-
sippi river, and also canal from the
river to the Gulf. After thorough OK
animation of the entire subject, they say
there is no doubt that a designated point
of toe South Pass would be the best, as
it would give an unobstructed waterway
to commerce in place of natrow and
INSTRUCTED one. IT the question of
colt and maintenance be consid-
cred, there is, for st. Phillips
Canal, the estimated sum of
$11 514, 200 against 81, $40, 10 for the
pass. While the board are of the opin-
ion that the canal can be built at the
estimated cost, they recommend the
South Pass of the Mississippi to be i'm
proved by plan which they submit.
They further recommend that, if Con-
gress decides to open one of the passes
of the river, the entire sum necessary to
accomplish the work be appropriated at
once. or In some way be made available.
1t the mouth Of the river is to be i'm
proved by jetties, the work, when be-
gun, should be pushed as rapidly as
possible to its entire completion.

who were as calm throughout as if
they were. engaged in "naval ma
n@uvre, went up into the rigging to
await further orders. The commander
then directed them to take off their
clothing, and at given signal to jump
into the sea- He was the last man who
left the ship, and shortly after she
heeled over and sank. When all hope
of saving the ship was lost, all her
officers went to the commander to thank
him in the name of the crew for the
mastery way i'll which he had performed
his duty, and to assure him of their i'm
plicit obedience. There is no doubt
that it was chiefly owing to the ex-
emplary discipline maintained on board
the ship that the crew were saved. One
man only was drowned, and he jumped
into the sea with his clothes on, contrary
to the captains instructions.

r A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-Th percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the stern
erIsex. A man may talk with his lips
of the latter to his lady-love, but the
,keenness of the woman knows that heis
thinking of the former in his head. All
women have al innate desire to please
their 6eaatr. They are fond of admira-
ton, hence one of their longings is to
be beautiful. The grand secret of fe-
male beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate proper quantity Of whole
some food. Take VINEGAR BrrrERs.
It will cleanse the stomach, tone the
vital organs, give a perfect digestion,
purify the blood, clear up the complex
ior4and produce a state of mental and
physical electricity which gives symme-
try of form, bright eyes, white skin,
glossy hair and a genuine type of female
loneliness which no cosmetic can COM

A VILLAGE ON ICE

THE Work oil Fishermen Saein4w Bay
The present season Is peculiarly cal
culated to encourage the fishing bust
ness on the Saginaw River and the bay
Not many men In that region, whatever
their position or business, feel as if they
could afford to idle away the winter
months if anything can be found by
which an honest penny can be turned.
Consequently, the fishing business has
received an unusual stimulus.
To engage regularly In fishing with
nets requires more capital than is to be
found lying around loose every day in
the lumber regions. From one to five
thousand dollars may be very readily
put into nets and other articles of outfit,
but to spear fish through the ice is a
business that may be taken up by even
the impecunious, with little or no
trouble. The spear costs but a moder-
ate sum, and almost any one can get a
blanket or two. Then a shanty is
needed, to be located on the ice in
: convenient place, and to serve as shell
ter and resting place at night. To get
get up shanty of the common style
requires about 80 feet of half-inch
matched ceiling. This makes a tight
shanty, and costs only about three dol
lars at the plan1ng mills in this city.
Then two dollars more will furnish the
balance of the material, and a stove can
be added at Light cost. It will be seen
that the fisherman can fit himself out
at very little expense. Ii he has good
luck he may pay for his entire outdl
twice over in days spearings t3aalt
A great many shanties are being add
ed to The village on the ice of the bay.
The floating settlement will doubtless
be much larger this. winter than ever
before, In previous seasons, it will be
remembered, the inhabitants of this vii
iage ON the ice were numerous and am
bilious enough to have regular mu
nicipA organ ization, with a Mayor. etc.
We may expect. the arrangements Of this
kind the present season to be at least as
complete as ever Eefore. Theinevitable
saloon was established In convenient
locality some time ago, and it would
not be very surprising to hear that some
ambitious fellow had erected two

about to open it with a grand ball $50 "a,

ST. Bernard.


The most significant historical work
of Leander Ia his sketch of st. Bernard,
the ideal monk, as Luther calls him,
whose very physiognomy is portrait of
the Middle Ages; who prefers the Dem
ocratic theocracy to the feudal mon
archy; who restraints j in Abelard. the
first impatience of human reason to
emancipate itself prematureiy; who re
organizes the monastic orders to give
them a more, spiritual character; who
awakes the, lethargic people, petrifed
with penanee, to- launch them in the
Crusades, and by this means to reveal,
as II by miracle, the existence of hber-
ty. Rich, powerful, possessed of wide
domains, gbornin the fertile laud of Brit
tany, he. despised dignities, property,
wealth, for the rude gown Of the
monk, for. the wandering life of
the apostle, for intellectual
and religious converse with the
poor and oppressed. for the pleasure of
combating the pride of the strong and
the powerful. Pale as death. emaciated
as q skeleton, without any life but that
which shone In his sparkling eyes;
ecstatic to such point that he some
times lost the power of taking food, as
if he only. fed upon ideas and drank
inspiration; SO absent-ninded that he
would for entire days know nothing of
the places he passed through or the
persons he talked with. The people
hung upon his speech, and kings upon
his writings; the Pope he protected
was adored, the warrior he
cursed was defeated; the : town
which he patronized was saluted
by the world; the war he condemned
was suspended; the peace he disap-
proved was disturbed; the man who
listened to him followed him to the
desert, to the valley of bitterness, to
bury himself alive in the cloister, or to
rush recklessly into battle: If he wish
ed it, the armies of France went out OF
Champagne; King Louis repented his
policy; the Emperor Conrad abandon
Ell the affairs of his empire to go to the
defense Of the church; 200, 900 men
shepherds, who left. their foeks and
came down from the mountains; peas
ants and serfs, who arose as If resur-
rected from the fields: great and rich
men, who abandoned their palaces-all
as If 1mpelIed by "a certain madness Of
hero1sm and OF martyrdon, leaving be
hind them wives and children and
homes, went they knew not where nor
why, not obeying the will of God. but

SINGULAR OPINIoNs.-We have been re-
quested to publish the following from an ex-
change:
In the Boston Herald of August 23I, 1874,
the following item is to be found. hooded San
unexpected Acknowledgment" "The Rev.
Joseph T. Duryea, of the Clamon Avenue Pres
byterian Church, is ore of Brooklyn's pet cler-
gymen. In recent interview he is reported
to have said: GAS to the Catholics, 1 don't
think their attitude toward Professionalism to-
day is one of hostility; certainly not of perse-
cution. Mr.. 3eecher has always said, and here
1 have thoroughly been IN accord with him,
that Catholic is as good as Protestant. To
try and convert one is waste of ammunition.
If you succeed 1t is merely like pulling dollar
out of one pocket and putting it into another,
and thinking yourself richer by the operation.
All are in the church, going the same way. 1t
is a matter of perfect indifference which side
of the road they take" And again he said:
''Some Protestants cannot forget the Inquisi-
ton and other arrangements of centuries ago.
This is the nineteenth century. Upon my word,
if had lived IN those old days, think I'd have
burnt heretcs myself with pious enjoyment.
The monks who did it were good men. They
really thought and acted on their belief, that it
was better to burn few heretics bodies than
to peril their souls and the souls OF the rest of
mankind. It was unpleasant, no doubt, for
the people burned and tortured, Dull was zone
with the best intentions" %
Now, Mr.. Editor, if these reverend gentlemen
one Presbyterian Doctor of Divinity, educa-
ted at Princeton, the other, called by man they
ablest minister in the American pulpit, the
leader of ougregationalsm, are right in the
views as expressed above, said to be theirs, are
not the acts of Papists at Acapulco, Mexico,
Panama, Lawrence, Mass, and many other
places on this continent and in our land within
short time past only 'pious enjoyment" of
the actors in those murderous scenes So long
as these brutal fanatics of Rome only believe
-:rht- nocnrdino tho ~sssen;rr of Roc
cher and Duryea, ought not this persecution to
continue the world over even if our country is
included in the blessing for the good of the
souls OF all "heretics." When will such lights
cease to emit such dangerous gases while taey
shine? Can 1t be they believe the above tissue
of errors? Alas for Protestaism, if the Amer
can Church has many among its clergy who
endorse the Beechers and DIyeas.

The AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE LAND
ScRIP.-The Boston Advertiser in noticing
the Jordan-Pillsbury noise about the Agri-
cultural College land scrip, says:
There has never been more senseless eff
fort to arouse prejudice or create excitement
out OF nothing than has been attempted by
the Maine Democrats about the sale of the
agricultural college scrip which took place
nearly ten years ago. The principal accuser
seems to be one DR.. Jordan of Bangor. whose
absurdities are eagerly reprinted by all she
democratic papers Of the State. His princi-
pal charge is that Maine sold her scrip at
prices varying from .tDty-ttree to eighty-four
cents per acre, while other states got seven
or eight dollars per acre. The latter state
ment is ridiculously false, and perhaps the
best way to prove it false and at the same
time to answer all his charges at once is the
following statement, which we make with
competent knowledge, viz. eff Maine owned
all her agricultural scrip to-day and should
advertise it far and wide over the whole Uni
ted States, as she really did the sale of 1866,
she could not get one dollar per acre for it,"
Agricultural scrip was and is nothing in
the world but land warrants, and every one
who chooses to inquire will find that during
the last ten years the very highest price of
land warrants, sold retail in single quarter
sectlons, has been about one dollar and .1iue
Genus per acre. Most of the time they have
peen much lower at retail. To sell large
quantity at one time would always depress
Inc price twenty-five to thirty cents an acre.
