EN- ABUSE AND ITS BEST
REMEDY.

The recent disaster t0 she steamer
Metropolis, off the coast Of North Caro-
lima. shows that sweeping reform il
needed in the matter Of licensing steam
vessels to run on other than lnlana
waters Portions of the wreck have
been brought to Philadelphia. showing
that the timbers we're utterly rotten.
The vessel Was an old transport ship
during the war, under the name OF Stars
and Stripes After her career in the
blockade squadron was at sr end, she
WAS cut in two. heightened forty feet.
her engines compounded and her name
changed to Metropolis. All the testi-
mony goes TO show that she was
leaky and unfit for passenger vessel
though she had brought several loads
OF cotton to New York during the past
year.
About two ago. rotten old steam
ship freighted with nearly two hundred
passengers on board, ran head on to
another vessel near tho Straits Of Fucs
and literally knocked the whole bow of
her self without injuring the other yes.
eel ct oil. She sank in five minutes and
only two lives were saved. He'd she
been . sound vessel, she would have
cut the Orpheus in two with the speed
At which she was going. Had hcnest
men been in the Inspectors Offices at
San Francisco. she would have been
condemned years previously and ter
ribls catastrophe averted.
The Brother Jonathan was ~ old
and rotten craft that piled between
San Francisco and every port on the
coast from Panama TO Victoria. She
was VIGOROUSLY lesky ID rotten, and
more than ence went into Portland
with three feet Of water in her hold.
Had she not belonged TO wealthy cor
poration, she would have been con-
demned in time to avoid serious trouble
But they let her run till. one day in a
heavy gale of wind OF Rogue River,
her heavy beam engine fell through the
the bottom Of her. The off.
GERS who survived state that
she struck rock, but nobody has ever
been able to fiud any rock within five
miles Of where she sunk.
There used to be an old steamboat
on the Potomac river called the George
Peabody. One night she caught fire,
and burned off all her cabins and part
OF her huh. She was then rebuilt and
called the William Taber. Some of
these days she will be going down with
hundred or two passengers. and then
a wall will go up from hundred
fatherless homes. There is also an cid
revamped ferry-boat running to Port
land. that will drown hundred or two
il she is let to run year or !wo And
tho Orixaba and Senator are no better
vessels than any Of the above men-
toned.
Now the fault lies not with tho sell
hsh ship owners who operate and con.
troll these vessels, but with the inspec-
tors who licence them. If bully

after tho Pacific was wrecked, it would

AMERICAN WOODS FOR PARIS.

One of the most remarkable exhibits de-
signed for the Paris Exposition is tablet
of native American woods which consists of
mosaic tablet eight feet wide and twelve
feet IN height, and was designed expressly
for Mr.. William II. Lippincott, the we'll
Known Philadelphia lumber dealer, by the
best artists and architects of the Quaker
City. The tablet is in the Egyptian style,
and consists of a fiat moulding on the outer
edge, made of three quarter circles of bird S
eye and curled maple, with triangular
shaped piece of bois d arc and beech wood
filling the blank portion of the circle. The
main panel is of white and yellow pine, ash,
striped and plain walnut, poplar, apple,
chestnut and sycamore. The bottom is a
broad piece of close-grained oak, skillfully
carved. Resting on the oak rail is an an
tique vase of various woods, from which
springs lot of plants with widespread
flower and leaves, all carved with great del
lcacy from ordinary American building
woods. At the right and left upper corners
of the tablet are dragons, made of Califor-
MIA red wood. The open spaces of the de-
sign are filled in with rosettes in relief COM
posed of Florida North Carolina, and New
Jersey cedar, with caps of white holly and
locust, forming most beautiful contrast to
the deep red cedar. The tablet is suspended
by large rings of black walnut relieved with
hickory, from handsome bracket with a
polished hickory roller. On each side of
the bracket is flying bat carved from but
ternut wood. Forty-three different varie-
ties of native American woods enter into the
construction of the tablet, including, be-
sides those already named, birch, elm, cyp-
ress, spruce, gum, hemlock and Others
Two cross-bars bear the words, ''Lippincott,
Bois d Amerique pour Pexportation. The
whole affair has been pronounced to be the
finest collection of American woods ever
gathered together.

That is curious letter the members of
the Kemper County Grand Jury have sent
to the Governor of Mississippi. They say
they were compelled by the obligations of
their oaths to find indictments for several
persons engaged in the Chisholm massacre,
but they hope the Governor will pardon all
of them, even before the indictments are
tried, because such pardon will accomplish
more for the promotion of peace and good
order in our county than a relentless prose-
eution of these cases." This is a good spec.
linen of the Kemper idea of justice. The
evidence against the murderers was so
strong that the jury was forced against
their will to find the indictments, and vet
the same jury turn about, before the indict-
ments can be tried, and asks to have the
indicted persons pardoned as an incentive
to ''peace and good orderr' If the Cover
comedies in this view, Kemper County will
be more than ever the best place in the
country to move away from.

medicine ever saw for Chilts, Shakes, Fever

which left him with Hip joint disease. My son
suffered great deal of psin sll of the time the
pain was so grest he did nothing but cry. The
doctors did not help him particle, he could not
lift his foot from the floor, he could not move
without crutches. / read your advertisement in
the Louisville Couricr-J ournsl, that Vegetlne

tried one bottle, which was great benefit. He
kept on with tho medicine gradually gaining.
He has taken eighteen bottles in all, and he is
completely restored to health, walks without
crutches or cane. He is twenty years of age. I
have younger son. fifteen years of age. who is
subject to Chilis. Whenever he feels one COM
ing on, he comes in, takes dose of Vegetine
and that is the last Of the Gill; Vegetine leaves
no bad effect Upon the system like most of the
medicine recommended for Chils. I cheerfully
recommend Vegetine for such complaints.
