San FRANCISCO, June 21.-The U. S.
steamer Saranac, having on board as
passengers Lieut.. Maynard and DR..
Emil Bessils, of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, left San Francisco June s, for Sit
ka and Behring's Straits, on scientific
expedition, and TO make collection for
the Philadelphia Centennial EXPOSE
ton. They took the inside channel,
called at Nanaimo, and, at 9:4a A. NJ.
Friday, struck the famous Mid Channel
rock in Seymour Narrows. This is the
rock SO much talked of III connection
with the proposed bridge at the Narrows
for the Canadian Overland Railroad.
She was going at fourteen knots with a
seven knot current at the time of strik-
ing. She hung few moments and then
swung off. Her bow was run into the
Vancouver shore and made fast with a
hawser. In ana hour she sunk compile
tely out of sight, not even the mast heads
being visible. But little stores or per-
sonal effects of the officers and crew were
saved. The ships company camped on
the beach without shelter and but little
provisions. Lieutenant Commander
Sanders, the pilot and thirteen men
made their way by foot and came to
Victoria, arriving there last night. The
steamer Otter left this morning for the
wreck. No lives were lost.

The NATIONAL QUESTION able
Republican papers on our exchange list
are arguing that the question of nation
atty should be ignored at the approach
ing State Convention. They say, eve
are all Americans, not Germans, Norwe-
eians, Irish or Welsh" This is certain
ly very true in one sense, but it is not
true in another. The sentiment Of ma
tionality is one of the strongest and
most enduring feelings of our nature.
It cannot be talked down nor safely be
ignored in 50 practical matter Us po-
liticaI campaign. A naturalized citizen
may be in every respect a true and pat
riotic supporter of the government, al
though he does not forget that in his
origin, constitution and individuality,
he is British, Scandinavian, or German.
The descendants of the first settlers
upon the continent, still preserve with
pride and interest the history of their
European origin. Why then should we
ask or expect that the sentiment of ma
tivity be a weak one with those who
were not born within orr borders? How
would the newspapers of which we
speak reduce their theory to practice
would they take all the Offices from one
nationality, thereby implying that there
are no suitable men for positions among
theothers, or would they go at the bus
mess hap-hazzard, pleasing some and
offending others? 1t seems to us that
the sensible course to follow in the bus
mess of selecting candidates, for State
officers is to recognize the existing fact
of national feeling and its unreasonable
preiudices, and act accordingly. The
Republican party is not SO strong in
Wisconsin that it can afford to swap off
hard facts for petty theories White

A CURIOUS fact connected with the
grasshopper migration has recently been
observed. Last year they came from
the southwest, from the dry plateaus OF
Colorado and perhaps from New Mexico,
and this year they are leaving by the
northwest, instead of crossing the Mis-
souri,, and we hear of them in Kansas,
Nebraska, and even as far off as the
Black Hills. VIII not the naturalists in
form us what has come over this animal
that causes him to turn on his tracks and
shove off in this unexpected direction
Is it the weather, OF has <he experienced
a change of mind, or what is it The
question is a curious one, and worthy
of consideration by those competent to
decide.

A DIVERS LUCK.

The telegraph ON Saturday announced
| that the iron safe of the United States
man-of-w war Cumberland, sunk in the
Hampton loads by the Confederate
ram, in 1862, had been recovered. A
| brief history of the efforts made to re-
cover this safe viii show the difficulties
of the undertaking and the nature of
the achievement.
| Since the Cumberland was sunk
| almost continuous efforts have been
made to recover her safe, in which it
was known q large amount of money
went down. The Cumberland was the
pay vessel of the Atlantic fleet, and at the
| time of the attack on Portsmouth by the
''rebs' was the last vessel to leave the
place, and she took with her, in addition
to three quarters pay that had lately
been consigned for the payment of the
fleet, whatever of valuables there was at
Portsmouth.
Boston parties first commenced the
search for the wreck. They bought
from the United States government the
vessel and contents for the sum of $780,
CO.,. They spent three years time and
$40, 600 more in fishing for the safe, but
without success. They sold out their
claim, and the purchasers in turn got
discouraged and sold to others, until no
less than eleven different firms OF stock
companies have owned and operated on
the vessel. These were from Baltimore,
Chicago, New York, Washington and
Norfolk. The navy-yard officers at
Portsmouth raised a pool of SIS, 900 at
one time for that purpose, and that was
all they raised. -Four months ago Hin
man & Winsor paid SIC, 900 for the ves-
sci, and employed O. e. Maltby 81 Co.,
wrecl1ers, of Norfolk. They employed
Captain Brown, an experienced and de-
termined diver, and after four months
work he achieved success.
The difficulties that until now have
baffied all fishers, lay in the fact that the
safe was in the bottom of the vessel, the
deck upon which it originally rested
having rotted away and fallen into the
mold. Here it became embedded in a
deposit of mud six feet deep. The cur
rent at the place is very swift, the water
is seventy feet deep, and repeated blast
ing has reduced it to tangled mass of
iron and copper in which operations
were almost impossible. The means by
which Capt. Brown recovered the safe
were by commencing at distance from
the location of it, where he could work
freely, sinking shaft, and then drifting
in by torpedo explosions to the location
of the safe. Once the safe was discov-
cred, it was very easy to raise it.
The safe contained $102, 900 in green
backs, first issue, and 100000 in gold.
All was recovered except some $500
in gold, which dropped out while the
safe was being raised, in consequence of
its having been shattered by the torpe-
does. Mr.. Winsor, the lucky man, left
Buffalo ON Saturday for Norfolk to take
possession of his prize. He sold the
safe for 81 800 as a curiosity to the Nor
folk people.

SANFRANcIsoo, June 20.-John Miller,
secretary of the Contract and Finance
Company of the Central Pacific Rail-
road, was arrested On the train yesterday,
at Marysoille, and taken to San Francis
co by a special train. It is rumored
that he is n defaulter to the. amount of
$500, 900. The cause is said to be stock
speculations. The Company is very
reticent.
Ilater-An interview with the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad authorities here
confirms the report that John Miller,
secretary of the Contract and Finance
Company, is a defaulter to a large
amount. Inquiry will be at once insti-
tuted to ascertain the amount of the de-
falcation, which it is hoped will prove
less than at first reported. Miller is in
private custody here. He expresses q
hope to make up the deficit.

CAPT. P. BoYToN has received many
compliments for his last plucky swim
across the British Channel, but none SO
fattering as that of the Duke Of Edin-
burg, who offered the Captain position
in the British Navy as a partial recogni-
ton of his eminent services to science.
The stories of the cruise in the Hfe-sav-
ing suit are embellished and decorated
in various ways by the narrators; but
all agree that it was throughout an ex-
hibition of clear grit such as is seldom
witnessed in trials of human endurance.
The winds and tides were both unfavor-
able, yet the Captain padded on. He
charged his attendants at the outset to
leave him in the water until he began to
sink, and his determination to reach the
other shore or sink did not once flag.
1t is said that the English reporters
waded out up to their necks to hear
what patriotic sentiments the Captain
might deliver to the glory of Old Eng
land as he finished his task. They were
somewhat disappointed when they caught
only string of big American oaths di-
rected principally towards the trouble
some rocks. When the Captain left the
other side he cried ssVive IL France"
but he damned the cliffs of Albion.

THE London Times has n very remark
able letter sighed s'Verax y ssVerax" APP
parently being man to whom all the
particulars of the late ''scare are known.
He says ga few weeks ago the Ger
man Representatives at Paris, London,
ST. Petersburg, Vienna, and Rome Off
cially complained of France pushing
her arlnaments with view to an early
resumption of war. So deep was the
impression produced by these announce
ments at st. Petersburg that the Gar
telegraphed to the German Emperor en-
treating him to postpone operations I'M
til he had had an opportunity of speak
ing to him at Berlin ON his way to Ems
Before the Cars arrival, Count Schou-
valoff passed through Berlin on his way
back to London. He dined with the
Emperor, and repeatedly conferred with
the chancellor. What he then learned
did not prevent his suggesting on his re-
turn to London the expediency of Great
half of peace. Soon after this the EN-
peror of Russia arrived at Berlin and
was warmly received by his Imperial
Capital, the Emperor of Russia received
uiIc iiICulDtiS VI tilO
body, and, deyoting q few moments to
each of them, told the representatives
of the Powers that peace was insured.
Prince Gortchalzoff, initiating his Sover-
eign's example, addressed communica-
ton to the same effect to the Russian
ENJOYS abroad, and before dispatching
it read the contents to the leading mem
beers of the Diplomatic Body 1t Berlin.
Great Britain's share in the affair con
sisted in Lord Odo Russell's being in
structed to tender the good Offices of his
Government, in case there was any rea
son to apprehend misunderstanding
between Germany and France. Prince
Bismarck, in reply, said there was no
reason to apprehend anything of the
kind, and that he felt under deep OBJ
legations to the. British Government for
the friendly intimation he had received
from them"

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Special Dispatch to the Evening wisconsir

Special Dispatch TO the Evening Wisconsin.
MAEINETTE, Wis, June 21.-Last
night, while John Hagard, daughter and
son were returning home from the fish
Ferries, they were stopped by one Nelson
Burr, Swede, who asked permission to
ride. Burr being heavily under the in
fuence of liquor, the father and son
were obliged to assist him into the wag-
on. Burr has for some time past been
paying attentions to Miss Hagard, and
has been several times refused, on
which occasions he has made dire
threats against Miss FL. and against him
SELF On the present occasion after be-
coming seated, he drew revolver,
cooked it, and pointed it at the girl, who
pushed the pistol to one side, where
upon it was discharged, the ball taking
effect in MIR. Hagard's left side, near
the arm-pit, and ranging upward. Burr
time, but before it could be used, the
revolver from him, and dealt him
blow which knocked him from the wag-
on. Burr now asked: care you shot,
Nj. Hagard?" On being answered,
YES he asked Hagard to shoot him.
We are informed that the son wished to
perform the act, but was restrained by
the old gentleman.
Burr was left standing in the road,
and the wagon drove off rs rapidly as
possible to the residence of Mr.. Hagard,
where he was made as comfortable rs
possible. The wagon was immediately
dispatched for some absent members of
Hagard's family, but the horses gave
out near the house of n farmer named
Cavanaugh, who offered to go with his
team the balance OF the distance, which
offer was accepted. While passing the
pile driver now at work at Peshtigo har-
Dor, Mr.. Cavanaugh saw man up
among the rigging, and..thought it queer.
He reported the fact as soon as possible
to Drs. Phillips and Lang, who were
then probing for the bullet in Hagard's
body. Those gentlemen repaired as
quickly as possible to the pile driver
and found Burr hanging by the neck,
dead. Constable John J. McGillis was
promptly on the premises and notified
the coroner without delay,
We are informed by DR.. Lang, al
though the wound is very serious, Hag-
ard viii probably recover.
