CoNsTASTISoPLE. Feb. 26.-l A. n.
Grand Duke Nicholas yesterday
evening conveyed 70 the Porte a strong
~ expressed desire that the treaty Of
peace should be signed promptly.
The reason Russis's demand for the
Egyptian ,ribc' concerns England is
that ,h- tril,',is is already pledged as
security for interest on Turkish loans Of
1854 -j5 and 1871! The frs; of these
was raised to carry on the Crimean
war; the second is guaranteed by Eng
land and France. All are largely held in
England by tho terms of agreement
between Turkey and the British Gov
eminent, and the bondholders of Egypt
now pay the tribute directly to the
Bank of England. The Russian propo.
sails will abrogate this convention with
out consulting or indemnifying the
benefcisl as.ignees and make the Enng-
lish aud French governments liable for
the 1855 loan.

We have before spoken of the char
acter OF some vessels employed in the
coasting trade out of San Francisco,
their unfitness TO cope with heavy
weather and the abominable manner
IN which some of them are managed
The desire TO save expense is carried TO
al extent which jeopardizes no. only
the vessels themselves, but the lives of
those engaged in navigating them.
Putting motives Of humanity entirely
out Of thequestlon. one would naturally
suppose that selfish consideration would
lead men II DC as careful Of their prop
erty as possible. We clip the follow
IL from the Attn Of the 18th.

after to carry two or three dogs and q
few goats on ell the coasters, and when
they give out, 60 for the captain or
cook"
Hardly vessel goes to seq from San
Francisco but has crew insufficient to
man her in case of trying emergency.
Vessels engaged in voyages to Coos
Bay and Umpqus, usually taking ten
days to make the trip, carry less than
thirty days food aud water. Out Of
twenty-seycn overdue vessels which
arrived at San Francisco in the fore
part of this month, nine are reported
as being out of provisions and receiving
supplies from other vessels whose stores
were none too abundant. II it is neg
ligent to send vessel to sea shorthand
ed, is it not criminal to send them out
with less than three times the amount
of provisions usually consumed on the
proposed voyages
Inspectors are appointed by the Coy
eminent to See that steamships are pro-
vided with good boilers and proper ap
planes for saving life in case Of wreck.
But these coasters, which carry pas
sensers Continually ARE allowed to 60 to

and one half the proper amount of food
and water. We need further precau-
tions to Do enforced in reference to sail
ing vessels. When they become rotten.
the insurance agents refuse to renew
their polices aud they run the rest Of
their career at the risk Of their owners

lation against tho inhumans practice Of

Francisco with ton feet Of water in her
hold; or tho "Gracs Darling" which
sailed from Nsnaimo for the same port
nearly two months ago and has not ar.
rived yet.
Yet when we write ss we do, men
say that we are striking ct the mill
owners. who are the only men that do
anything to develop this country. We
look at it from different standpoint.
We like to see men make money. but
we don't like to see other mems lives
jeopardized in doing SO. We are for

NEW YORK, Feb. %. - Accounts
from Callso Of the effects of the tidal
wave say the alarm is Undesirable and
the damage incalculable. The sea is
covered with floating debris. aud i'm
mense waves thirty and forty feet high
break over the mole and along the
whole coast line, spreading havoc and
destruction around them. In Iquique
the earthquake shock was terrific. It
lasted one minute and thirty seconds.
The main shock was followed during
the night by forty minor shocks.

Washington special says there is said
to be q secret movement on foot to con-

Influential parties in Washington and

to profit by the movement, and Hend-
ricks iSmore likely to obtain the prize.
Hendricks and other prominent Demo-
Gratis, however, deny all knowledge of
the matter.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The House
banking aud currency commission has
decided to recommend the insertion of
an additional provision in the bill for
substitute Treasury notes for National
Bank notes. The new feature provides
that Treasury notes shall be receivable
for onethird of any one payment of
customs dues. remaining two-thirds to
be part in gold or new silver dollars
These Treasury notes are also to be
made interchangeable with four per
cent bonds at par.
In the Senate. Hosr presented q
petition from the citizens of Cape Cod
demonstrating against the passage of
Sargent's bill. to organize a Coast
Guard and Life Saving service Senator
Sargent, said the reports of the Life
service emanating from the Treasury
Department showed disgraceful state
of efficiency in that service. 1t was
we'll known that in some instances
where officers ana men Of tho Life
Saving service were in sight Of vessels
needing relief that they were afraid to
man tho boats and other persons had
come forward and performed the
service. Persons were appointed now
to please politicians and not on account

to military discipline would improve
the service.

A New KIND OF HELL.-Here is the lat
est on the He'll question About twenty
years ago, an old colored preacher in Georgia
was exhorting number of Africans to "git
on board the Gospel train and be saved from
the torments of freezing hell !" The old
colored brother drew shivering picture of
how cold place hell was, and also
dwelt upon how sinners were never
permitted to get within million miles of the
faintest glmmer of spark of fire. AT the
conclusion of the services white brother who
was present attempted to correct the old dark
ey, in regard to the climate of the place
where the wicked are said to take up a per-
manent abode after death. The white man
went on to give the colored preacher an Or
thod0x description of hell-burning brim-
stone, bursting of mountains of seethng lava,
scorching lime, rivers of coal, etc. When the
white man finished, the old colored preacher
took him by the hand and whispered private
ly in his ear :" Massa don you nebber tell
de coons about here OBJ such hot place if
sum OBJ de ole rhumatic ones wuz to find dat
out, dey'd want to go de .fust frost sure "

MISCELLANY.

A WONDERFUL LAKE.-In Colorado $50
nothing more or less than a subterranean
lake, covered with soil about eighteen inches
deep. On the soil is field of corn, which
produces thirty or forty bushels to The acre.
If any one will take the trouble to dig u hol9
the depth of spade handle he will find it to
fill with water, and by using hook and line,
fish, four or five inches long, can be caught
These fish are different from others in not
having either scales or eyes, and are perch
like in shape. The ground is a black mari,
alluvial in its nature, and in all probability at
one time was an open body of water on which
was accumulated vegetable matter, which
had been increased from time to time, until
now it has crust sufficiently strong and rich
to produce fine corn, though it has to be cul-
tivated by hand, as it is not strong enough to
bear the weight of a horse. While harvest
ing, the field hands catch great strings of fish
by merely punching hole through the earth.
A person rising on his heel and coming down
suddenly, can see the growing corn shake all
around him. Any one having the strength
to drive rail through the crust will find on
releasing it that 1T will disappear altogether.
The whole section of the country surrounding
this field gives evidence of marsbiness, and
the least rain produces an abundance of mud.
But the question comes up, has this body an
outletp Although bracksh, the water tastes
as if fresh, and we have no doubt that it is
anything else than stagnant. Yet these fish
are eyeless and scaleless-similar to those
found in caves.
