SoLD.-The Chicago Times not long ago pub

ing of a theatre there. 1t was decorated with
frightful head lines and was made duly horri-
BILE. To answer it the Tribune of that city the
next day gave graphic and heart-rendng &C
count of how the story had bt en- read by loving
wives, and others, and they had fallen dead
from grief at the reading. This account, the
Tribune added, was likewise ''supposititious, +"
but was possible so long as its contemporary
told such stories. The Iribune's sad sequel
has taken in numerous parties who did not no.
tce the limiting clause with which it closed,
and they have been drawing most melancholy
pictures of what in fact has proved more ludi-
crous than mournful. The Argus is the last
sold by the imaginary tragedy, which is now

Terrible Calamity at the Entrance
Of the British Channel.
The Heamship Schiller Wrecked Many
Lires Lost.

A cable despatch from London, on
Saturday, brought intelligence that the
steamship Schiller of the Eagle line
New York and Hauburg) was totally
lost, on Friday night, by running on
the rocks off the Scilly Islands, on the
coast of England, during dense fog
The latest accounts estimate the total
number of lives los, at 3ll. The voy-
age was moderately good till May A.
The three days following that date it
was impossible to take observations.
The ship was out of her course half
mile at the time Of the catastrophe
Captain Thomas was on deck night and
day for four entire days. At seven
O'Clock on the evening Of the 9TH there
was dense fog, the sails were taken
in, the engines put on half speed, and
the fog bells used. Bishops light was
unseen, though only half mile dis
taut. At 10 o'clock she struck on the
reef, and after four bumps the steamer
settled down. There was violent sea
and the tide was rising. The darkness
was intense. Most of the male pas
sengers we're awake and there was the
usual rush for tue boats, but nearly all
the boats were stove. One boat with
few sailors left the ship cowardly, re-
fusing aid Two boats were saved -
The captain endeavored to compel obe
dience by firing a revolver over their
heads. nuring two hours six cannon
shots were fred, when the powder
dsmpened. Distress signals, rockets
and tlue lights we're unanswered. At
midnight the fog lifted minute, re-
vealing the light house. The waves
we're sweeping the decks, and carrying
away number of victims. At two
o'clock the deck-house, in which we're
the women and children, was swept
away. The cries and shrieks of the
victims we're beart-rending, and then
followed CHASTITY silence. The smoke
stack fell, crushing some Of the boats,
and two others were carried away. The
remainder followed the captain to the
forward bridge. Each succeeding wave
took fresh victims. Some persons
sought refuge on the mainmast and
some on the forsmast At three O'Clock
the captain aud two other officers we're
ca the bIid:c. The captain descended

in number of his campaigns against

object over which New Jersey schools,
at New Brunswick - the students
of which are usually called Rut-

themselves about. Ii is a real earnest
contest that the College. have over that
gun, and through the quarrel over the
old fashioned and obsolete instrument

the most interesting and conspicuous
relics of the war Of the fathers for in

there.

working in Hutohlnson's and Payne's
mines and gave them notice to qait
work on penalty of death.
The gang were very noisy and threat
enins, bu. did not damage any build
ings or maitreat any person. They
carried with them the efigy Of "black-
Leg" which they took to a grove, where
it was hanged by the neck to a tree,
and the crowd emptied their firearms at
it. The result has been that Payne's
men refused to return to work this
morning. Three of Hutchinson's men,
while on their way to the shaft, were
followed by gang of women aud chill

The Fury of English Newpa-

the Centennial Of the Battle
Of LeXfnytOn-Our System Of
Government "A Failure rs
Viewed from their stand
point.

SOMETHING said by Englishmen ia
vorably Of the late Centennial Celebra
ton of the battle Of Lexington has
brought out number OF London jour
malls in unfavorable remarks on the SIS
tenn Of government Of this country.
The London STANDARD is particularly
severe. 1t proncunces the experiment
at establishing good government on
Democratic or Republican principles a
failure, and sums up by declaring the
result to be " the corruption of public
life, extinction Of public spirit, oprres-
sivn of the minority, disgust of the
honorable men with politics, and the
transfer of the government into the
hands of corrupt. unscrupulous and
ignorant men," The American people
may do great many extravsgsnt things,
they may sometimes even appear to act
foolishiy ; yet, with all that, they pre-
Ger the system of government they have
in preference TO system that has a
crown for its head. Tbs SGadrrd must
enjoy dynasty rule hugely.
