( Ihe small side wheel freight steamer COL
umota' Quilt by Pusey, Jones e Co., Of this
CITY, ior hrm at Para, Brazil, is supposed
TO Oe lost. Ihe vessel left this city ON or
about the 18th of March last for her desti,
nation, and about the lst of April she WAS
heard from as being at st. Thomas loading
with coal. The run from that port to Para
usually occupies about eight days, and 1t is
ordinarily comparatively safe one,
Since the vessel left st. Thomas, up to
the present time which is over one-handred
and twenty five days nothing hasibeen heard
or seen of her. Ia conversation This murn
ing with several nautical gentlemen who
have been over the route, they gave it as
their unqualified opinion that the vessel
was lost, and all on board had persisted, az
tney have had ample time even If picked
up, and carried to some foreign port, to
nave sent word TO their relatives and friends
OF their safety. The steamer was com.
manded by Capt. Simms, aud all OF the
hands including Samuel Montgomery. en-
gineer tand Thomas Glasgow, ana Geo,
Meyers, deck hands, were residents CT thu
city. ". -
1t is stated that the wife of Captain
Simms has given up all hope of ever see
ing ner husband again. Most OF the men
leave families. 1t is 10 be hoped that
the vessel has not been lost, but there is
little hope but that she has perished.

Mu1iGipal Gas.
HOW GAS WORKS ARE A SOURCE OF

HOW GAS WORKS ARE IA SOURCE OF
| PROFIT TO ACITY GOVERNMENT.
The City OF Richmond, Va, owns gas
works, and from the report of the Super
inteHdent of the works, dated March Ist.
which has just been issued, the following
interesting facts are collated: Il~Fe
Inc report shows a falling off of re-
celpts from private consumers Of S23. 600.
| owing toa reduction in price. At the
Tune the Illuminating capacity of the
light was steadily improved until its
quality averaged seventeen candles-the
highest ever furnished by the city, aid
higher than private companies can af-
ford to furnish. Nevertheless, ipclud-
Ing the consumption of gas in public
buildings, the balance sheet of the works
a credit to the city, on the years transac
ton, of $90,309 72-a sum only s0.J2O
less than the previous years profits, not
withistanding the improvement of the
quality OF gas and the reduction of the
price.
These results were attained by the
most rigid economy in expenditure and
by adopting every expedient to diminish
cost and increase production. BY this
means, though $4,000 pounds less Of
coke were used than the preceding year,
the worksproduced2,5 SOC, 0OOcublcfeetnaore
CT gas. BY strict economy the coal ac-
count was reduced $4,000, and the ope-
rating expenses $4,000. In this manner
large reductions were made to the con-
sllmers, with satisfactory returns to the
city treasury.
During the year the private consump-
ton OF gas was 59,5S4, 140 cubic feet; pub
lie consumption, by street lamps, engine
houses and public buildings, 20, ,1O9, $40;
total, 70,693 7l9.

partment are as follows:

a Lesson or GRATIrUpG.--A gontlo-
man once making inquircs in Russm
about the method Of catching bears in
that country, he was told that, to cntrop
them n pit was dug several feet deep.
and after covering it over with turf,
leaves, etc,, somo food was placed on
tho top. The beor il tempted by tho
bait, easily fell into tho snare.
"But," he added, "if four or Gvc get
in together, they will all get out
again.
How is tbat ?" asked the gentleman.
"They form sort Of ladder by stcp-
ping on each others shoulders, and thus
mako their escape"
"But how does tae bottom ono get
out ?"
"Ah thcso bears though not poascsa-
ing mind and soul such as God has
given us, yet can feel gratitude; and
they won't forget the one who had been
the chiot means Of procuring their iber-
ty, Scomperng off, they fetch tho
brorch Of tree, which they let down
to their poor brother, enabling him TO
speedily join them in the freedom in
which they rejoice"
Sensible bears, wo would say are ~
great deal better than some people that
we hear about, who never help anybody
but Themselves.

NOT WANrEp.-Lituo Delaware Is
without ponitentary, and has mover
felt tho want OF ono. Her modes Of pun
ishmcnt havo been the whipping-post
and pillory. Fsr years she has borne tho
taunts and jbes ot tho country Tor adhrr-
ing to this system. Sho has hoard 10 de-
nouncod rs "cruol," "bnrbuous,' sun.
christian" and "disgracctu.' This sort
Of criticism had Go effect. Delaware was
willing other popplc should entertain their
own views, while she had no idea OF de-
parting from hers. a. few luWnn,ta-
rians in the State havo SO tar prevailed
as to have bin introduced into tho Log
islaturo providing for tho erection OF u
State Prison. II meets villa strong oPpo-
sit,on among the people, who declare that
thero are not enough criminals in tho
State to support such an institution, aud
that the smallness OF their number is at
tributablo entirely to the existing sum-
mary and severe manner OF chnstlsement.
This sort Of argument has its effect, and
it is considered very doubtful it the bill
can pass. Certainly it will not, unless ID
can be demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
the public that State Prison can to
made to pay. Possibly il Delaware hod
a few Of our buck mailing gentry within
her borders to deal with, she would bo
still moro 10th to abolish the whipping
post.

FLORENCE, THE AcToR.--Many years
ago, while Florence was under an en-
gagement at the Winter Garden Theater,
New York, he formed the acquaintance
of young girl who played in the minor
parts in the dramas then represented.
One day after rehearsal he invited her to
dinner at broadway restaurant. Both
were hur gry, and they ordered q pleuti-
ful supply Of food. When their appetites
were satisfied, Florence called for the
bill, and to his utter dismay discovered
that no had no money. In changing his
clothing in the morning he neglected to
take the money from his discarded panta-
looms, He told the girl OF the fix he was
in and asked her for a loan Mortified
and chagrined, she answered that an she
had was just sufficient to pay her fare
home. Then the actor called the res
taurant keeper and told the truth about
the money. The quick-excited man raw
ed and stormod atFloreuco, SAYING chat
he had resolved not to be swindled by
any one, and that he should send for the
police.
Atthis time a short, stout old gonfc-
man stepped up to the proprietor and
fm|y said (:
GLOW dare you speak to q gentleman
in the way you have done? His mis-
take is a perfectly natural one, and such
as might occur to any man. I'm asham-
ed Of you III dine no moro in your
house, nor pcrmit my friends to do so, in
the future. Here, take this y and the
old gentleman took fifty dollar note
from q fat wallet and handed it to the
discounted landlord, saying, "Deduct
the amount of the young mans bill ard
returu me the change"
The proprietor's apologies woro un-
needed. He handed the old gentleman
Sl7 80, and again cssayed apologies.
When in the street Florence handed
his bonetactor his professional card onC
address, adding that he should certainly
reimburse him. The old gentleman
indignation quickly passed away, and be
ginning to smile, he said
"That all rightyoung man I've beer
trying to pass that counterfeit bank not,
all day"
