EN A STORM.
Experience OGa war vessel In
a Gale.
Remarkable Conduct of the
Animals On Board.

New YoRK, Nov. IA letter
from Key West giving the eXpe-
nences of the United States
steamer Ossippee in the storm on
the 10Th and Doth Of October, says:
The men, in getting about the
deck to attend to~ their duties,
were thrown violently from their
feet and blinded by the salt spray,
and were obliged to go CROPPING
about as if they were in total
darkness. They could only stick
to their stations by the most desr
perate struggling against the
hatchings, gratings, doors, deck
buckets, and many other articles
that we're being swept back and
forth across the deck. BY the
rushing of the waters as the ship
rolled and tossed, breathing with
difficult, and the air taken into
the lungs was so loaded with sea
salt that it caused excessive irri-
tation, producing violent cough
ing and vomiting. The suffering
of the men was most intense, es-
pecially among the fremen and
coal -heavers, who were not only
deprived of ventilation, but obli-
ged to inhale the salt water
steam produced by the seas rush
ing into the fire-room. 1t was
then thought advisable to encour-
age the men by the uso of stimu-
lants. The surgeon found a sulli-
cent quantity to give all the hands
a lot each and sent it to the cabin
to be distributed.
The effect of the storm on the
animals on board was peculiar.
Oats disappeared the morning be-
fore the storm for five days after
wards. The dog "Daniel," Va splen-
did pointer, aroused by the Cap
tain, exhibited the greatest dread
at being left alone, and was only
appeased when some one was pet
ting him. The hens and turkeys,
usually the most hungry and yo-
racious and quarrelsome beasts
on board, forgot their hunger and
barely opened their eyes when
food was thrown to them. Two
birds, Babos) a species OF pelli.
can, came on board while we
were lying in the vortex. They
must have been drawn down

anchorage alone. A temporary
pier has been erected inside the
first pier, on which the brige, so
far as completed, may rest. A
mast on this, sufiicietly guyed,
will permit of the running of the
sections out to the first pier,
which will be built from above,
the iron being handled on and
from the "traveler," and thus let
down to the pier workmen. There
are sixty sections of panels, each
Isl ieet long, equal to 1,125 feet,
in the plan of the bridge, and six
of them already hang out from
the anchorage. They will aver
age 24,0O0 pounds.

Cremation i'm saxe-Gotha.

Permissive cremation is now
fairly established in SAKE -Gotha,
both the civil authorities of the
town of Gatha and the ducal gov
ernment having expressed them
selves favorably. In recent sit
ting of the town councilit was de-
creed that the necessary appara
tus shall be introduced into the
new cemetry. 1t was laid down
that fire. burial should only take
place if a wish to that effect had
been clearly formulated by the
deceased, and if the medical Off
Ger Of health had testified that
there was nea reason to assume
that de@{A had occurred from
criminaLvioienfc. Provision was
also mate for Mthe treatment of
ashes m accordance with the
treatment, I4e to human remains.
The ashes are to be gatheaed in
urns, which may be either hand
ed over to the family of the de-
ceased, or to be set up in a hall in
the cemetry destined for that phr-
pose. A sum offiTteen thousand
marks, offered by the fire burial
society of Gotha, was accepted
by the town council.

Flint SPRINGS, Tenn, Oct. 25,
Mr.. EDITo2-We earnestly OBJ
ject to our corner being called
the dark corner, foHfrom, what We
have seen of the county, we have
about as much light here as any
where else around. Naturally,
we have the same sun, moon and
stars, just as other people, unless
we happen TO. see the moon
through the brush, or it does not
change to suit us. Intellectually,
we have quite a good high school
at Flint Springs, and then We
take the HERALD, Banner and
other good papers, besides, We
have fine local news carrier
who can beat the telegraph in in
forming everybody about every
body else's business; one.of these
especially who is a kind of sub
county officer, is very solicitous
to find out all our misfortunes,
and than so reluctanly telling all
he meets about them. t@
Morally, we are light, indeed;
we are either too kind or too cow
ardly to fight, and when we quar-
rel we are so far apart that we
can't near each other. AS an in
stance, one fellow, it was said,
gave a preacher terrible cassia
recently, and it was several days
before the preacher heard of it.
Religiously, we have quite q
variety Of light. One kind that
deserves especial notice, as it
would suit a good many people.
1t is kind, if you once obtain it
you can do as mean as the cold
scratch" wants you, and a little
more SO. and yet the old fellew
can't take you down to his shot
home" .#, @.
Politically, we are either Re
publicans, Democrats, Radicals
or Rebels; though none believe
will own the latter. Yet "by
their fruits we know them" Then
we have down here a mysterious
sort Of a voter that believe they
call "proxey." lie tried his hand
recently in church election, and O
out-voted all present. Look out
or Proxey, for which way he
votes the other side had as we'll
stay at home. ,f .o>a.H'.
Well, as we are about "out of
soap" and as your correspondent,
'Vadus" seems to be silent this
week. We write to inform you
hat some of these same notrious
'possum dogs'' have been on ano-
her hunt and killed nearly all of
Mr.. w. b. Cowan's sheep, and
scared the church parson SO
Dad that his face the next day
ooked as long as if it was Sun
lay, aen r.t.o0 ar .Ht.fi,
Now, Mr.. Editor, if the Legisla-
ure will quit trying to kill dogs
~ taxation, and instead, make a
aw compelling dog-owners to pay
Ill damage done by their dogs,
hey will succeed much better in
he thing designed or needed.

name indicates, last week eXten-
ded the field of her operations tC
Alexandria, where she was caught
shop lifting ,.'and taken before a
magistrate, who finding the char
ges sustained, sentenced her to
receive thirty lashes at the whip
ping-post. The officer whose du-
ty ii is to carry the sentence into
effect, administered twenty Of the
lashes and turned her loose, di-
recting her to come back TO the
city on the 10th Of November to
receive the remaining ten laGhes.
On her way TO the boat to leave
town Officer James Smith necked
her again, and accompanying her
TO this city obtained a search
warrant and recovered some per-
fumery and other articles from
Mary's domicile, in an alley in
south Washington, which she had
stolen in Alexandria. Again en-
joining her to return on the 10th
for the remaining ten lashes, he
left her, but Mary has no inten-
ton of obeyinS the admonition.
This is a regular practice of the
Alexandria authorities, and that
communityis troubled with a less
number of thieves Of the petty
class than any cityin the country.
The ''whipping-post" there is no
thing more than the prison doors
Of the cells, to which the culprits
are tired, making them form what
the officers jocularly call "spread
eagles" and receive a portion of
the stripes named in their senten-
ces, when they are turned out
with orders to return on a fixed
day for the balance. No one has
ever been known to return to the
Washington Star.

THE OTHER SIDE, NO. III.

Temperance people charge that the licens-
ing of hotels increases pauperism and bur-
dens the city with their support. Facts and
figures show that during the two years Of ty-
ranny and no license, the expense for help
ing the poor has materially increased, instead
of diminished. It is also claimed that men
can perform more labor without than with the
use of stimulants whereas, the almost uni
versal complaint now is that men do not do a
days work in day. There was no such COM
plant in gone-by days. when the universal
practice was to give the laborer three or four
jiggcrs day, to sustain his tagging strength,
which shows plain enough that most men are
SO constituted that nature requires to be slim
ulated and hence, the hardship to men in a
free country to be restricted and restrain
ell from the use of that which they enjoy and
their nature requires. 1t is also claimed that
the moderate use Of liquor shortens life
That can be answered by looking around in
this community-observing what has been the
lifelong habits Of the old nsen--in a majority
Of cases it would be found that they have been
whiskey drinkers nearly all their lives. 1t is
further claimed that the temperance party
represent the churches--that may be true as
lar as the radical portion is concerned, but It
must be remembered that there is a formula
BILE conservative element in the Church which
are sympathizing with, and voting with, and
even drinking with the other side-some OPP

JAIL DELIvERY.--Last Sunday evening,
about o'clock, three of Sheriff Bells pris-
oners gave him the slip. At that hour the
Sheriff entered the Jail to lock the prisoners
in their cells, locking the wooden door after
him as is customary, and which has hitherto
been sufficient precaution for the short time
required in arranging them for the night.
Turning into a side room for few moments
the three fellows took advantage of this
opportunity to operate on the door, the
lock of which they succeeded in quietly
and quickly turning, by some means unknown
to the Sheriff, and reaching the street, made
of, but in what direction is not positively
known. Their names are George Stanford,
one Of the robbers of the Wertsville store
Frank Slack, the Lambertville burglar, and
the sneak thief, Conover. The Sheriff re-
grets the escape very much, and has offered a
reward of $75 each for the recapture of STAN
ford and Slack, which it is hoped will be ef-
fected speedily. Slack, it will be remember
ed, escaped from the Lambertville lookup
ON the first night of his incarceration therein.
aided it is thought, by parties outside. STAN
ford is Of medium height, slender build, dark
hair and no whiskels, and youthful in appear
ance Slack is decidedly short, rather stocky
build, with very light hal, and complexion, no
whiskers and about 90 years old, Conover Ia
