On last sunday evening was the con-
Guiding lecture in the course on the
Episcopal Church. Those lectures
have been largely attended. A kindly
spirit towards all the followers of the
blessed Master permeatedt the lectures.
In them there was nothing controver-
sial but positive and thus the object
has been to show forth the true grounds
of this Church as she is To be seen in
the inspired word. One of the organs,
for which Mr.. Perley is agent was in
use to give aid to the singing, and add
ed by Its beautiful tones much TO the
services. III.

Mr.. Joseph Lovett. father of Miss
LOvett, to whom reference was made
in our columns of last week, says that
we were misinformed as to the facts
in the case; that the skill of the ply
SieianS who attended her had not
been bafled, but their remedies had
the desired effect upon the patient,
and that Doctor Golden was not called
by him TO prescribe fer the patient.
We published the statement as we re-
ceived it, sUpposing it to be authentic.

n thorough education, having been u
graduate of celebrated English sclentlf-
ic institution. His father is wealthy
tradesman of London, having but two
children. Some months ago there was
reduction in the force of Mr. Roach s
establishment and Woof was among
the number who were discharged He
was afterward given work in the yard
at whatever he could do. His father
sent him word couple of weeks ago
that he and his other son were about to
sail for America, in order to start him
and his brother in the machine business.
1t is believed that the two are now on
the ocean en- route. Woof had both legs
crushed and one foot was torn off. He
survived for two hours, remaining per-
fectly rational until he expired. His
wife and two children were present when
death came, and the scene brought tears
into the eyes of those who witnessed it.

A Calamity at Chester.

The Saratoga, a large iron steamship,
was launched at Chester, on Tuesday
morning last, when terrible accident
occurred. When the ship started down
the ways about forty men were under
the vessel, and did not hear the order to
come out and the result was that six
were crushed to death and several more
were severely wounded.
It is thought that some of the work
men were killed and dragged into the
water by the ship. The bodies of the
dead are horribly mangled, one being
literally cut in halves, and others with
their legs and arms torn Off
All of the killed and wounded were
workmen employed at the yard, and
were engaged in knocking the blocks
from under the keel. The scene during
the time the ship was going off was
heartrending, the men being seen strug-
Cling to escape, while the huge blocks,
rolled by the ship crushed them to a
jelly. No assistance could possibly be
rendered by those who were standing by.
Instead of cheers, as usually greet a
launch, wall of anguish went up and
shrieks of pain rent the air. AS soon as
possible the dead and wounded were car
ried to the yard office and physicians
summoned. About 1 800 men are en-
ployed at the yard, and the friends of
nearly all of them rushed to inquire for
them, making scene never to be for
gotten. w
Immediately after the accident was
known the bell rang for the men to stop
work throughout the yard. The gates
were closed, but they were beseiged by a
multitude of men and women who were
clamoring for news Of their relatives and
friends. Everything that could be done
was done by the Messrs. Roach & Sons
to alleviate the distress Of the sufferers.
Geo. Woof, a young Englishman, was
the last Of those taken from the fatal
way. He was employed for long time
as craftsman in the office, he possessing

Was She Buried While AIive9

The residents of Pavonia avenue, near
Henderson street, Jersey City, are excit-
ed over the burial of woman of that
neighborhood a few days ago, who, it is
said, was not dead. The woman and her
husband, French couple named Claire,
lived on'the top roof of the tenement at
116 Pavonia avenue. They drank con-
siderable, and the neighbors say were
very quarrelsome. On the night of Sun
day, the 18th, the Frenchman told Mrs
Mary Calhoun that his wife was dead
The woman and her daughter visited
Claire's apartments, and were Mortified
to see the supposed corpse move the left
foot and also open and close its eyes.
Mrs. Calhoun cried in alarm, "Why,
your wife is not dead" Yes she is"
said the Frenchman, very dead" 9th
er neighbors were called in, and the
body was examined by them. They all
declared that the woman was alive, from
the fact that her breathing, though slight
was regular, and her body perspired,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. G., May, 2Srd 1877.

WASHINGTON, d. G., May, 23rd 1877.
Hon. Daniel Chamberlain, of South
Corolina, once affluent spent his entire
fortune in his vain fight for the Governor
ship of his State, and now to retrieve the
same he has left his home and entered into
compact with flourishing law firm in New
York. Ever since Hampton's recognition
as Governor and Chamberlain s withdrawal
from the contest, President Hayes has been
intent upon sort of compromise with the
latter gentleman, having offered him several
quite prominent offices, all of which have
been declined. Last week he was proffered
the solicitorship of the Treasury accom-
panied by an earnest request from the
President that he would accept the office.
Chamberlain promptly declined, however,
with the explanation that his mind was
fully made up not TO re-enter political life
in any way until his fortune was re-made,
and that he had already engaged in what
was far more advantageous professionally
and pecuniarily than the solicitorship would
be. l think the President meets with but
few such cases in these days The refusal
to accept lucrative government Office is a
rare thing in United States high officials
experience.
Latest reports say that Miss Van Lew,
the energetic Richmond Postmistress is
destined to lose her office after all her
efforts. Miss Van Lew visited Washington
and the President not long since, and left
the Capital fully persuaded that her services
would be retained. Hers has been hard
fight, and she really deserves success for
her enterprise and vigorous independence,
if for nothing else.
In reply to questions Secretary Sherman
says that he does not think it necessary to
make any formal statement as to what he
intends doing under the Resumption Act.
Whatever is done will be openly done and
will be communicated first of all to the
public, nothing will be done except in
strict conformity with law, and no step will
be taken except after the most careful
consideration and with the sanction of the
President. He also says that he will state
to the newspaper press every act done
under the resumption law.
Ten days ago we were wearing cloaks
and overcoats and to-day the thermometer
stands at ninety-fve in the shade. Our
nights are as hot as the days, and our
annual roasting has fairly begun. Such
hot weather in May is unusual but we hope
it will be over the sooner for commencing
thus early. MN. w.

A Narrow Escape.

A few nights since gentleman nam
ed Wakeman, and his wife, passengers
on the night express, were on their way
to Lawrence, Kansas. They were ac-
companied by their only son of 16. On
arriving at Mansfield nothing could be
found of the boy, who had been seen by
his father to pass toward the end of the
car few minutes previous. He was
subsequently found several miles dis
tant, lying within few feet of the
track. He was asleep, his clothes cover
ed with dirt and slightly torn, and his
face scratched in several places, but up
on being awakened he arose unhurt and
walked back to Mansfield, distance of
six miles.
The boy states that he has no recollec-
ton of leaving the car, but was aroused
by hearing the crow of rooster from a
neighboring farm house. He found
himself lying alongside of fence, and
with much difficulty clambered up the
railroad filling to the track, where, it
still being dark, and feeling tired and
stiff in the limbs, he laid down and
slept. His escape is the more remarka-
BILE, as there is filling at this pointwith
a descent of fully fifty feet. A board
fence is at the bottom, and he broke
through in striking this, and was prob
ably stunned by the contact.

A Brothers Sacrifice.

Several years ago William Shaw
wounded Poindexter Edmondson, in a
fight at Bloomfield, Mo. Edmondson
had younger brother, who was affected
almost to insanity by the occurrence.
Later, Shaw was murdered, and Poin-
dexter Edmondson was convicted on
circumstantial evidence as the murderer.
The execution was appointed for May
16, and several days previous the youn-
ger brother confessed that he was the
criminal. He had nursed resentment
against the assailant of Poindexter,
whom he loved devotedly, and had
finally gratifled his desire for revenge.
The elder brother had known the truth
but had resolved to be hanged rather
than expose the younger. He came very
near being hanged as it was, for mes
senger had hardly time to go to the Gov
ernor and return with reprieve.

Panic in a La Crosse Theatre.

The Dubuque Iowa. Times of the 18th
inst, contains the following: Last
Saturday night, as Miss Kate Claxton
was performing in the opera house at
La Crosse fire broke out some four or
five blocks away, when the boys in the
gallery, hearing the shouts of fire. on
the streets, took up the dread cry. Men,
women, and children all over the house
sprang to their feet panic stricken in an
instant, and rush was made for the
door. Benches were overturned, people
stumbled and those behind fell over
them. A hundred voices were Shrek
ing all sorts of unintellible sounds, while
every one was making wild, mad rush
for life. Men and boys jumped down
to the auditorium below, alighting on
the heads of the surging, frenzied crowd
beneath, and it seemed for brief space
of time as though scores must be tram
pied to death, if nothing else. Some
twenty or more gained the street be-
fore the policemen on duty, who knew
there was no fire in the building, could
shut the doors; but when they succeed
ed in closing the exit they beat back the
terror stricken audience, and in few
minutes comparative calm was estab-
lished. Though none were fatally in
jured, several were severely hurt, and
many badly bruised. The curtain was
down when the alarm was given, and
the fearful cry of fire! had hardly run
through the hall before Miss Claxton,
pale and trembling, rushed to the front
of the stage, exclaiming as she threw up
her hands with wild gesture of de-
spair, Oh, my, is there fire = and was
just in the act of jumping from the
stage, when some one restrained her.
Quiet was soon restored, and the per-
formance went on, though fully one
half of the audience left, thankful to
get out while they might"

Lippincott's Magazine.

The contents Of LippiScotts Magazine for
June are light and varied. The number opens
with two finely illustrated articles-the second
of Lady Blanche Murphy's agreeable Rhine
Sketches, and the concluding paper on the
Valleys of Peru. IA young italian author,
Edmondo de Amicis, whose name will be new
to most American readers, but whose writings
are very popular in his own land, forms the
subject of an Interesting article, which includes
translation of a deeply pathetic story.
Under the title of "Curious Couples" Rev.
William NJ. Baker recounts some of his ex-
perience as pastor in the South. Albert
Rhodes discusses the question of Chinese i'm
migration, apropos of the colony at Beaver
Falls, and Ethel Y. Gale gives an account of
the quaint superstitions still cherished by the
Tyrolean peasantry. The stories are numerous
embracing the continuation of "The Marquis
of Lossie," "The Lost Voice." by Ita Aniol
Prokop, GA Love Chase" by Clarence Cor
don, and "The Priests Son" by Tourgueneff.
In the way of poetry there is dainty bit of
verse by Paul H. Hayne, a string of wedding
sonnets by Emma Lazarus, and "sleeping
Song" paraphrased from Theecritus. The
editorial departments are unusually full and
interesting.

Ten Executions in One Day.

Although the Governor generally gives
murderers about sixty days grace after
the court records on capital cases are
certified to the State Department, it is
believed that he will issue warrant for
the execution of Duffy and his four ac-
completes on the same day on which
Thomas Munley, another Mollie," is
to be hanged at Pottsville. Should he
decide on such course there would be
ten executions in the State of the 21st
day of June.
The Supreme Court has now disposed
of all the Mollie Mcguire cases to be
considered by it at the present time.

Terrible Storm.

On Sunday aweek terrible storm Wis
tied portions of Indiana, doing great
damage. At Marion houses were un-
rooted, trees uprooted, and fences de-
stroyed. A brick church, nine miles
north of Marion, was demolished, and at
the time 1t was filled with people at
tending divine service. The roof was
uplifted and the walls fell in, burying
the inmates. The scene that followed
was terrible, One young man was
killed, and ten or fifteen persons serious
ly injured.

Lion Hunting in North Carolina.

About sixty of the Nimrods of New
Hanover county, N. c., started one day
last week in pursuit of n animal sup
posed to be lioness. The hunters were
divided into cavalry and infantry, and
armed with every variety of weapon,
from rifles to pitchforks. After two
days. chase the beast was overtaken and
shot. But the game, when killed, was
not dead lion at all; 1t was only the
carcass of big yellow dog. To talk
about lion hunting there is now consid-
cred impolite.

TRAFFIC on the Danube has been
stopped by order of the Roumanian and
Russian authorities. This will cause
new complications. Austria and Hun
gary are directly interested, especially
the latter, which is an integral part of
the Austrian empire. Count Andrassy,
the Bismarck of the Hapsburg House,
is statesman and diplomat who will
not allow the stipulations of the Treaty
of Paris, in 1856, to be violated without
protest. The cable states that he has
already taken stepsto thwart the meas
ures adopted by Russia and Roumania
regarding the cessation of traffic on the
Danube, and he is not disposed to wait
for the cooperation of Germany, Italy
or England. The neutrality of the
Danube was established by the Treaty of
Paris at the close of the Crimean war,
and Austria, now that Russia under
takes to declare its navigation closed,
naturally demurs. AS the result, there
will be an estrangement, if, indeed, it
may not turn out in the end that Aus
ira will take up arms against the Gar in
defence of what she conceives to be her
rights under the Treaty of Paris. Thus
matters daily are becoming more COM
. plicated in Europe, and the forecast
portends universal war.

Government Advertising.

The Post Office Department has sent
out circular saying that it is willing
to pay for advertising on business prin-
ciples; and it requires every newspaper
competing for the Post Office advertise
ments to certify precisely what its circu-

That is the only correct business meth
cd for getting all public advertising done,
and until all public officers adopt this
plan they will do business for the people
on different principles from which they
would conduct their private enterprises.
