The Vile Du Havre Disaster.

The Albany Journal has the following
story: "Gen. Alden and DeGrand G. Cra-
mer, Of Troy, were the guests of H. 8.
Sheldon at Mechanicsvlle Saturday. A
casual conversation with MIR. Cramer elici-,
ted an incident in relation TO the loss of the
steamer Vile du Havre, which sunk in mid
ocean Nov. %, 1873. Mr.. Cramer was
among the passengers on the Iili-fated yes
sci, in company. with an aunt. He went
down with the vessel, but being good
swimmer kept his head above water for half
an hour or more, when he struck against
spar. All hour later he was picked up by
one of the boats Of the Loeb Earn, and
transferred later TO the sailing vessel Tri
Mountain, which took or the Loch Earns
passengers just In time to save them. Capt.
Urquhart, of the Tri Mountain did every-I
thing in his lower for the rescued, aud In
the end charged only modetate salvage.
This displcased the two persons, who, with
Capt. Urquhart owned the vessel, and they
sold the boat at auction, as agreed upon in
case of dissatisfaction. This threw the
captain out Of command, and left him with
out means adequate to get another, Mr..
Cramcr learned of the matter, resolved that
the rescued should reward the generous
rescuer, and soon had $l5, 900 on subscrip-
tion list. The result was that Capt. Ur-
quahar bought an interest in the chip Isaac
Webb, and is now running between New
York and London.

Robbery Of q Church.

A correspondent of the Federe lsburg Cou
rier writing from Sussex county gives the
following account of the robbery ofa church
in that county recently:
A party from Maryland, near the State
line, came over into Sussex recently in a
cart drawn by centennial OK, provided
with ladder, ropes, buckets, matches, &C.,
for raid. Arriving at Bethel Church they
demanded the keys of the sexton, which
were refused. They succeeded, however, ia
eifecting an entrance into the building, and
finding the collection box empty, and hav-
ing no USE for Bibles hymn books or treaties
upon morals, made an examination Of the
upper regions, where they discovered col
ony of bees. Supposing that these busy in
sects had honey in store, they tore off some
boards and smoked them out. After filling
their buckets with honey, they fed across
the state line % fast a. their OK could carry
them, having before their eyes the fear Of

Mr.. Hill Explains.

Mr.. Ben. Hill, of Georgia, has told an in
tcrviewer that the Southern people are now
for the Union under the Constitution and
the laws, and that he himself, while he can
not admit that the entire Southern people
are criminals, is as much devoted to our
constitutional form of government as any
other man. He and they prefer that the
Northern Democracy should select the can
didate for the Presidency, but ifthcy should
be so divided as to be unable to agree, then
the South must decide it. The Republican
party, he says, is a sectional one; its history
is sectional; it is itself one of the features of
the war which 1t is necessary to get rid Of

least one-third of the people of this country
were criminals. Our difficulties were set

them, and It is manly and religious for us

Dlppers and Rushers.

A medical correspondent of the New York
Sun writes that paper from Pawtuckes
Rhode Island, as follows: In two or three
instances recently the Sun has contained,
reference: to the "Dippers" of some OF the
Southwestern States. Eighteen or twenty
years ago medical gentleman of talent
and observation published long and full
account of this vile practice among the wo-
men OF that region in the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal. He showed that
death even followed as result, the post
mortcm examinations of the mucous men,
brsne OF the stomach giving indubitaoIe
evidence of the actual presence of snuff,
softening it and rendering it unfit for the
processes of digestion.
This dirty and pernicious habit is prac-
ticcd hereabouts under the name of crush
ing" 1t is very common; some do it quite
openly, others stealthily, and deny it.
Some. upon being accused of 1t, say, "I
only rub my teeth with snuff" The habit
is usually contracted as mill girl, but it
continues into married life, and in many
instances works fearful havoc with the
nervous, and finally the whole system. The
habit, once contracted, seems as enticing to
its votaries as dram drinking or opium
eating, and almost as destructive to health.
