fish, and which is used by watchmakers
all over the world to oil the works of
watches. A drop of it goes long way:
and in fact the civilized world uses to
present in all it's hundred millions of
watches only about two hundred gallons
yearly, most of which is produced, or,
more correctly, saved on Cape Cod. An
old man who had been thirty-fve years
in the business of preparing this jaw oil
told me that when school of fish was
caught he bought the heads, which he
then tried ott carefully, refining the oil
by boiling it, and finally submitting it
to freezing test. Two or three men
furnish the worlds supply of this pro-
duct; they have established their repu

LOSS OF THE GOTHENBURG.
IA Australian Steamship Wrecked-I1J
Lives Lost.


The steamship Gothenburg left Port
Darwin on the 10Th af February, bound
for Adelaide, South Australia, havirn
on board about one hundred passenger
and crew of thirty-seven. The weather
was fine till the Oath, when it became
misty. The sea was high all day and a
strong wind was blowing, and the vessel
was making an unprecedented voyage
with all steam up and sail set. At 6:15
p M. the sea suddenly became smooth,
though the wind continued fresh as ever.
The captain was just coming up from
dinner-the first meal he had not taken
on the bridge for several days-when
the ship ran on a coral reef about thir-
ty-fve miles from Cape Upstart, send
ing three parts OF her length
ashore. Sail was lowered aud efforts
made to back off. but in vain.
With the turn of tide at IL P. NJ. these
were renewed, the cargo having been
shifted, but these proved equally un
successful. At $50 A. NJ the engines
gave way. All night the wind had been
freshening and the sea rising, but the
reef broke the seas, and there would
probably have been no loss of life had
not the wind veered to northwest at 3
o'clock, bringing in a heavy sea that
broke over the vessel. The two port
boats were lowered each with four men,
but could not keep along side, and were
washed away. There crews made land
in safety. There was very little or no
confusion on board, though high sea
was running and threatening to wash
over the ship, and storm of rain, light
ming and thunder was raging with trop-
ical fury The passengers had collected
sar the bridge, and some had dashed
themselves to the rigging. The sea rose
and just before daybreak, began to
sweep over the vessel. each wave
carrying off victim Or two of the weak
er ones. The ladies had been placed in
the life. boat, which was about to be
launched, when an immense sea. swept
over the Gothenburg and carried every
living soul away save those in the fore
rigging. The ife-boat was swamped
and the quarter boat upset. The sea
struggling for life. "Mrs. Osterman, }"
says survivor, ''was the only woman
who seized the life-boat. She caught
hold of the keel near the stern, and
struggled bravely, and held on until she
was nearly drowned, and then she let
go. She was gone, and the few of US
ooking on painfully, unable to assist
her. I saw none other of the ladies af-
ter this. I recognized Cartwright, SEN,
swimming to a box or hencoop.
He got on it, but was washed across the
reef seward, with his face towards rs. :"
There were now fourteen men in the
foremost, five near the mainyard and
nine lower down. The next sea swept
away six of these nine, though some of
them recovered the ship with the back
wash. They remained on the rigging
till the morning of the 24t.., en- they
baled out a boat, cut sails from the
ships canvas and sailed away, steamer
.rescuing them. Of 100 passengers
ninety were lost, including Mr.. Justice
Wearing and Mr.. Thomas Reynolds,
formerly Premier Of South Australia.
Of the crew OF thirty seven only twelve
were saved. making lis lives lost

A Free Bath.

An amusing incident occurred at a
fire in San Francisco on recent Sun
day. Two large water troughs, we'll
filled, were standing on the sidewalk,
and afforded an elevated post of OBJ
servation for fifteen or twenty nicely
dressed young men, arrayed in their
Sunday clothes. While they were
erched on the edge of the trough an
ebriated individual attemp ted to pass
along. but gave lHrch to leeward aud
knocked one of the young men to one
side, and he, attempting to save himself,
wildly clEtched the next one to him,
who also srlrged against those in front.
In about two minutes they were all
climbing out of the water dripping.

Two Irishmen, lately landed in New
York, were boarding at hotel where
they were sorely troubled with mosqui-
toes, and could hardly obtain sleep
enough to satisfy nature. "Put your
head under the blankets Mike, on then
they'll not bite yees," Pat did as re-
quest4d, but scarcely had he found
himself free from the mosquitoes when
he was attacked by bed-bugs that he
had failed to notice. "Bad luck to me.
Mike" said he; "here's another kind
without wings an fddles; but begorra,
they bite as hard as the others.

.4ndy Johnsom's Prospects.

The Nashville correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes as follows
concerning Andrew Johnson's chances
for being the next Senator from Ten
nessee 1.-THE Legislature Is composed
of one hundred members. Mr.. John
son claims twenty-five from East Ten
nessee will vote for him, and that he
can easily rely on little over that
number from the other two divisions
of the State. A majority elects. My
own opinion is that the ex.lresident is
too sanguine II he gets forty votes on
the first ballot he will be doing well.
II he increases his strength on succee
din. ballots, there are plenty Of observ-
ing people who will be very much
mistaken. Still, the Legislature-elect
is an uncertain quantity, and there is
no telling what may turn up. There
are only eight Republicans in the Le-
gislature and these he expects to cap
ture The civil rights excitement of
last Spring, and the general onslaught
of the Republican party incident to the
last campaign, produced an esprit du
corps among the Conservatives and
| Democrats which now tells against an
Independent bushwhacker like Mr..
johnson. | do not mean that party
lines and partisan restraints are rigidly
cnjoined now, but they are recognized
to degree that must be an impedient
TO a candidate who does nearly all his
| fighting outside the lines. MIR. johnson
will have very hard work to pull
through, if he accomplishes the feat
at all.

The Pacific Mail investigation grows
more and more interesting. We own to
some natural grief that Democratic
m smber OF Congress Is at present put
by it in a position which it is highly
desirable for him to get ont Of that of
having been concerned, and very deeply
concerned, in an attempt corruptly to
influence legislation. 1t is worth point
ing out, though, that Mr.. Schumacher
was not member of the Forty-Second
Congress; and that, whatever case is
made against him, it cannot include
breach of his official trust. Enough is
made out to make his testimony a ne
cessary part of the record Of investiga-
tion. By all means let the committee
"hew to the line, let the chips fall where
they may" If Mr.. Schumacher has any
explanation to offer in advance of his
appearance before the committee, VIC
shall be glad to see it. 1t is already
shown, and shown beyond reasonable
doubt, that very large sums We're used
i'll Washington to bribe the members of
Congress, and it is much more than n
mere suspicion that Irwin was the Cakes
Ames of this Credit Mobilier. The hon
or of the committee and of every men,
ber of the Forty-Third Congress who was
a member of the Forty Second, Is now
engaged to probe this business to the
bottom. The way of getting Govern
ment bonuses to railroads is now pn city
well understood, and Schuyler Colfax is
permanently in retreat because ii is L n-
| derstood. The way of getting Govern
| ment bonuses to steamship companies is
in the way of being understood, and a
full understanding of it is likely to send
still other statesmen to the rear. We
are very glad 10 see that the inculpa-
tions OF member OF the New York
press turn out to be without foundation

A MARRIED Englishman in Paris lately
became desperately enamored of an ac
tress. who in turn was in love with set
OF diamonds in the Rue de La Paix. The
lover, however, thought 10000 francs too
dear, and he offered the je weller 14,OO0
francs. The lady then called privately
on the jeweller and offered to pay the
difference on the condition that the gen.
tleman have them at his price, which
was agreed to. The next day tile Eng
hshman purchased the gems at his price,
but on the way to his hotel he met a
friend who ridiculed and shamed him
into. starting at once for London with
the jewels as present for his wife. The
jeweler has since presented his bill for
5000 francs to the ac c.ress.
