The last issue of the Claiborne Guar
diaR contains this paragraph:
We learn that greenbacls club in
this parish has been crushed in ifs

ganized, officers elected, etc. Our
young friend John Phipps was invited
to address the club. John, it seems,

for opposition that he can convince

Grain-Reapiug Machines Eighteen

THERE is a bill in Congress for the
equalization of pensions. An ex
change says: The aim of the bill is
to give to all persons who are now
entitled to pensions and who have
lost either an arm below the elbow
or leg below the knee the same pen
sion as those who have lost an arm
above the elbow or leg above the
knee. The present pay Of the first
class is SIS per month, which, under
the provisions of Mr.. Wards bill Will
be increased to S24 per month 1t
seems to be generally conceded now
that the man who has lost an arm
below the elbow, or leg below the
knee is fit for no work which could
not, as rule, be performed by the
man whose leg or arm has been taken
off nearer the trunk. 1t is also re-
marked that the artificial leg which
goes below the knee is more co1npli-
Gated than the one which fits on
above the knee, and is therefore more
expensive to keep in order. Dis
abled soldiers have, of their own mo-
ton, set on foot petitions which
will urge Congress to make the bill
law

In consequence of its dangerous
character, lighthouses have been es

which enable a vessel always to be in

light houses were established, fifteen
vessels have been counted high and
dry at the same time on Body S
Island, near Hatteras. Since the
lights We're established comparative
ly few disasters have occurred.
The Carolina coast has always been
considered a dangerous and difficult
one to weather in a storm, as the sea
rises in mountains and with a land
ward set A terrific surf always rolls
in when en- easterly gale is blowing,
and even when the sea is compare
lively calm there is a fierce line of
breakers, to the dangers of which a
very swift and treacherous current
adds greatly. The beach between
Capes Henry and Hatteras is, on an
average, about one and half miles
wide, and is separated from the main
land throughout its entire length by
lagoons and sounds.
The Government has also estab-
Eshed number of saving stations
along this coast, which have contrib
uted largely toward decreasing the
fatalities of coastwise navigation.
There are eight of these stations be
tween Capes Lookout and Henry, and
ten on the Virginia coast above Cape
Charles. The strip of beach is un-
inhabited except by the lighthouse
keepers, and life-saving crews. But
even these are so wide apart that a
vessel going ashore at night in a
binding storm makes timely assist
ance difficult and very uncertain.

only Sc were saved
NORFOLK, Feb. AT $50 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon the steamship
Metropolis, from Philadelphia, for
Para, Brazil, went ashore on Curri
tuck beach, three miles south of the
lighthouse, during the prevalence of
furious southeast gale. Great con-
fusion prevailed on board. Owing to
the fury of the gale and the roaring
of the surf, the orders of the officers
could not be heard About fifty of
the passengers and crew were washed
ashore About two hundred are be-
lieved to be lost. From some of the
sailors, who arrived at one of the
signal stations, it appears that the
vessel had encountered heavy gales
from the southeast for the last twen-
ty-four hours. When she struck she
was heading about south-southeast.
The vessel swung broadside to the
surf, which made a complete break
over her and washed many of the
people overheard into the sea. The
state OF affairs is terrible. Dead
bodies are lying along the beach for
a distance of two miles. They are
all being placed in proper places back
from the beach, and the living are
being cared for. About one third of
those found are dead The two sa-
loon women are known TO be dead,
with their husbands. Eight out of
fourteen foremen are known to be
dead. The men that are saved are
destitute of clothing.

sisted of 500 tons iron rails, $4,000; ;
