Life Prcservers on Steamsh ips.

Millard l.. Mitchell writes from Bal
timore to the New York Herald on the
subject of the loss OF life on board the
steamship Pommrrapia, not notwith-
standing that vessel was we'll supplied
with life pres,rvers. Dr.. Mitchell, who
has personal experience OF ocean voya-
g"s as a ships physician, makes the
pertinent observation that not only
should life. preserv-rs be providrnt tor
all passengers, but that they should
know where they are, hsv- easy access
to them, and he taught how to use them.
H.. remarks that there are many pas
SrnserS crossing the ocean annually
who are totally unacquainted with the
appearance aud usr OF life prrserver.
1t is stated by various If the fomnerG-
MIA survivors that. owing to this isn"r
ance, they saw many persons having
Iifr-pr-,-rvprs who iloat-d feet upward.
DR.. Mitchell suggested that all parsons
going on oct"n voyages should b. in
Struct-d in the Use Of life. prrs-rvrrs,
and that, as the ship physician has
more time to spare than any Of the
% her officers, it should b. his duty to
ilnpalt this Knowledge to the passrn-
gers. The suggestion is a good one,
and If acted upon many lives might br

The play "M'liss," which appears
Oh New Years night, comes highly re-
commended. The Philadelphia Eren
ny Teisy 1ph speaks as follows:
"The prlfornanc. of the play of
Miss" at the North broad Street
Theatre last night, was worthy of a
Arger audience than was in atten
dance. The piece is rather a rough
and ready kind, but is not bad piece
Of its kind, and fairly presents the sa-
Int features OF the story. The per
trnancc, taking it all in all, was de
'rdly creiiiabIe. Miss Annie Pixley,
Who personat-d the heroine, is comely
and lively little lady, with pronounr,
Ell variety-show style, who reminds us
|sonething of Lo.ta, but who is very
much Lotta's superior in genuine his
,riOnic ability.
