A Tidal Wave.

The San Francisco Chronicle says: ~
NJ. Paris, who was steward on board tht
American ship, Carroltcn, loading guane
at Pabelleon dc Plea, Peru, at the time
of the tidal wave on the South Pacific
coast, writes frcm Callao as follows:

ing to the cook, when suddenly / heard
rumbling like distant thunder, which
lasted about five minutes. Then the
ship began to shake SO fearfully that all
on board expected her spars would come
down. The whole crew made for the
cabin.F Reaching the deck, I cast my
eyes towards the shore, and the most
shocking and frightfui scene / ever wit
messed presented itself The village had
taken fire and was burning rapidly, while
the inhabitants, principally women aud
children, rushed fantically about, the
stronger OneB endeay0ring to reach the
bills in the rear of the town. Womca
threw their infants to the ground. and
sought to save themselves by fight:
Those who reached the foot Of the noun.
tains were overwhelmed 5y falling stones
and crumbling earth, many being buried
alive. The guano on the Plea gave way
like q great land slide, covering those
unfortunates about the works who were
yet asleep. Then came the tidal wave,
as If to wipe out the destruction already
accomplished. The burning buildings
in the town, together with the living and
dead inhabitants, were swept into the
sea. The total loss of life on shore is
estimated at 800 souls.
Between thirty and forty other vessels
were dismantled and SO nearly wrecked
that they are almost beyond repair.
Capt. Rutherford of the English bark
George A. Chapman, deserved mention
for his daring in risking his life in the
midst of this terrible scene by rescuing
the wuIIieu ou boaTd tho Different vessels
who were washed overheard. On our
way TO Callao we saw many evidences of
the terrible visitation. The town of
Pisaqua is half washed away. On the
14th Callao received severe shock.
Most of the inhabitants fed, going 10
Lima. We brought about 200 persons
here from Pabelleon de Plea. I shall
never forget the 9th of May, 1877. No
pen can describe the terrible scene" &

A TERRIBLE CASE OF HYDROPHoBIA.-A
case Of great interest to the medical profess
sion involving horrible death, has occur
red in Philadelphia. On Christmas eve
Michael Crossan, bartender in a saloon
at Eighteenth and Naudain streets, in the
southwestern part of the city, was bitten by
terrier dog in the cellar where he went
to draw ale. The wound was not deep and
healed in short time. About five days
ago the old wound began to pain him, and
a red eruption appeared, which appeared
and disappeared two or three times. On
Tuesday Mr.. CrOsson went to bed with a
pain in the shoulder and arm. DR.. Carroll
was called to attend him, and administered
powerful anodyne. The patient grew
worse, at 10 O'Clock that night the phys
clan was informed of the circumstances oil
! the biting, and CrOsson was told that he
must prepare for death. He continued tC
grow worse, and at 1.30 o'clock Thursday
morning sprant from his bed in a delirium
Four men could scarcely hold him, and ht
died in an hour after from exhaustion
The peculiarities of the medical profession
are that the patient was kept under th'
influences of anodynes nitrate of amy
being given and morphia. His mind re
mained clear up to within an hour of hi
death.
Thomas Welsh, of Cambridge, Mass. ais
died on Wednesday of hydrophobia, of tn
worst type. He was bitten by dog las
Christmas.

A CHAPTER ON DAILY NEwSPAPERs.-The
two leading newspapers of Wilmington, the
Commercial and Erery Ecening, have consoli-
dated and now appear as one large two
cent daily under the title of Erery Erening
and Commercial. The corporation known
as "The Every Evening Publishing Com
pany" bought out the Commercial establish
ment, and thus united the forces that had
been more or less antagonistic, from the
very nature of the case. w. I. Croasdale
is the head of the consolidated establish
ment-editor of the paper and President
of the corporation that publishes it. H..
NJ. Jenkins, one of the very best editors
on the Peninsula, and the first man to
make daily journalism success in Della
ware, retires. We regret this and miss the
Commercial, as will hundreds of others who
appreciated its daily visits. As to the new
journal, we have every reason to expect
the best results for it; the great success OF
the Ecery Ecening gives US the reason for
the hope within in that respect. 1t was a
good stroke of policy to effect the merger
that has been accomplished. The capital
and labor involved in two separate institu
tions was divided against itself, and coulc
not work out satisfactory results, but nov
that it call works together for gOod," gooe
must surely come of it, we believe. Evi
IDENTIFY the two papers were not profitable
we hope the consolidated one will be.
This leads us to some reflections. Moth
ing in the development of this country ha
shown more progress than this business o
journalism: especially daily journalism
Ten years ago-a little over ten-whel
Jenkins & Atkinson started the Commercial
Wilmington, with at least $4,000 people
had no daily paper, and two had failed OF
its hands. Since then it has been runnin
five. while towns all over the country, lik
Westchester and Bridgeton, n. j., wit
not more than 5000 or 5000 people, ar
publishing their afternoon dailies. True
there may not be much money in such er
terprises, as newspaper capital is especiall
improbable, but that they are able to e1
ist at all is a matter to be proud OF.
A noteworthy feature about the ente
prise is that the supply has created the d.
mand, it would seem. They had to
put upon the market and almost thru'
upon the people for months if not yea
before they were received, first as welcom
visitors and then as household necessitie
1t has not been so many years ago since tt
one daily paper, the Ledger, at "Temple
store" had to serve this whole cOmmunit
Now, however, from one hundred and Sc
enty-fve to two hundred daily papers a
disposed of here every day except Sunda
to say nothing of the bagsful of weeklie
ETC., that are tumbled into the postoffice
every mail. For long number of yea
only few leading men Of the town clail
ed any insight into public affairs now We
many of our humblist working men are t
peeps of the most astute in our counti
rooms on any subject of public import.

A BALTIMORE CHURCH SCENE.-The Balti-
more Sun of Monday published this item
Rev. David j. Beale, pastor OF the Light
Street Presbyterian Church, preached yes
terday on the doctrine of "Sanctifcation,
from the text "Grow in grace" The
sermon was against associations for the
promotion Of holiness" and their teachings
Of absolute freedom from sin on earth.
The congregation was large and included a
number of persons from other cOngrega-
tions desirous of hearing what Mr.. Beaie
would say on the subject in which they
were interested as professors OF religion.
Mr. Beale in the course of his remarks
related the anecdote Of goodish brother
who one day addressing the great Wilber-
force asked, "Wci brother, how is it with
your soul to-day" The great philanthropist
replied, II have been so busy about these
poor negroes that : hai forgotten that
had a soul. Mr t- -led that sanctl-
fication in this I4Iv Ao- q. uciuslOn and that
the Bible did not teach it. The use Of the
Lords Prayer was an acknowledgment that
no man in this life is perfect, and he
claimed that no Bible parsonage ever
claimed to live without sin. In conclusion
he said that there is not just man upor
earth that doeth good and sinneth not.
there were any present who were confiden
that they had committed no sin in the las
twenty-four hours, in thought, word O.
deed, he would like to see them and havt
them stand up in the presence of the con
gregation. To the preachers great surpris
three sanctifed and justified men stood up
one of whom said he was sanctified, glor
be to God.

Do Nor FACE THE LIGHT.-Statistics kept
by oculists employed in infrmiaries for eye
diseases have shown that the habit of some
persons in facing a window from which the
light falls directly on the eyes as we'll as on
the work, injure their eyes in the end.
The best way is to work with side light,
or, if the work needs strong illuminations,
so that it is necessary to have the working
table before the window, the lower portion
of the latter should be covered with a
screen, so as to have top light alone, which
does not shine in the eyes when the head is
slightly bent over and downward toward
the work. In the schools in Germany this
matter has already been attended to, and
the rule adopted to have all the seats and
tables so arranged that the pupils never
face the windows but only have the side
lights from the left; and as the light
simultaneously thrown from two sides
| gives an inference of shadows, it has been
strictly forbidden to build school-rooms
with windows on both sides, such illumina-
ton having also proved injurious to the eyes
of the pupils. We may add to this the
advice not to place the lamp in front of
you when at work in the evening, but u
| little on one side, and never TO neglect the
use of shade so as to prevent the strong
| light shining in the eyes. This is especial
| ly to be considered at the present time
when kerosene lamps, with their intensely
| luminous flames, become more and more
common.-MedicdL Journal
