THE most natural position in which
to sleep is upon the right side. This
affords the easiest play to the internal
organs. To sleep on the back OBJ
strucis the circulation of the blood, by
the pressure of the stomach and bow

pass up and down in front of the back
bone. 1t is very tiresome and injurious
to lie with the hands above the head.

ARE ANDERSON, of Minnesota, is a
worthy example of a model son. He
had a quarrel with his father about i've
dollars, and to settle the dispute finally
and expeditiously, seized an ak and
killed the old man. Then he hid the
body under the floor, aud two days
after gave a party at the farm house,
and mingled in the dance with other
young men and women, on the boards
which covered his fathers remains.
Such instances of he~artlessness as this
almost persuades one to believe in the
transmigration of souls. Certainly no
human feeling could inspire the actions
OF q son like this.

Hale that some miscreants, on Wednes-

knowing the engine was to start next

plugged it up SO as it would not indi-
cate the amount of steam. The engin-
eer, un going to work next day, dis
covered that it did not indicate, and on
taking it down, found what was the
matter. Had it not been for the timely
discovery of this matter, it would have

SENATOR JONES ON THE
SILVER QUESTION.
CONDITION OF THE STEAMER
METROPOLIS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Q.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Q.
A consultation OF some OF the adj
herents of the Bland bill, in the Senate,
took place to-day. Jones, of Nevada,
said that he was in favor of making a
minimum coinage of silver dollars,
three million per month, instead of TWO
million. as provided tor in the Finance
Committees bill. lie asserted that the
vindication of the silver men would
come in public relief, which would
shortly follow the passage of the bill.
1t is proposed to follow up the enact
ment of BANDS bill with ether meas.
ures, providing for the issuance of GER
tihcates to take the place of coin in COM
mercial transactions.
Jones will make n speech during the
coming week, but it is not his inten
ton to deal in statistics, but to devote
his time to answering objections mad
to the fractional workings of the silver
scheme.

noon to-day for Norfolk. They are

NORFOLK, Feb. 2.
The steamer Cygnet arrived yester-
day afternoon, bringing Richard W.
Brooke. one of the passengers of the
Metropolis. Brooke left the wreck
Thursday mofning, and fully sus-
tains the statements heretofore given.
The vessel was, beyond all doubt,
weak and unseaworthy, and being
deeply laden lsbored in the heavy sea,
which caused her to open Ler seams
and sink. Captain Ankers did all that
skill and judgment could suggest or
experience devise, but when the fires
were put out it left his vessel power
less. He. therefore, was unable to
drive her upon the beach, as he antici-
pated, or keep the vessel from gong
on broadside. or exposing her deck to
be swept by each succeeding sea. The
steamer Cygnet retured at one to
bring TO this city all the srrvivors, who
Will tie duly provided for by the char
liable people among our citizens. The
survivors will be sent North via Baiti
more, on the Clyde line, as they may
select. From reports received at the
office of the Chief Signal Office, from
the Signal Station at the wreck of the
Metropolis, it appears that l5S names
of those saved are already received. 1t
is possible the number may be iu-
creased by others not yet reported.
Captain Ankers, of the Metropolis,
telegraphed Major fucker. of Norfolk,
that the survivors. in all loo, will leave
Coinjsck to day for that city. This
makes about 100 u~naccounted for, in
Guiding the bodies which have washed
ashore and been buried. The citizens
OF Norfolk had a public meeting yes
terday afternoon to take measures to
provide for the survivors. A suitable
building has been procured, and mat
~tresses and blankets furnished by the
Navy Department.

r E DAILY SENTINEL,
SUNDAY, F~EBRUARY3, 1878.
THE DECLINE In LEAD.

The great decline in lead is cutting n
very important figure with what is
known as base metal mining on this
coast. The low grade lead mines of
Utah have been most seriously Grip
pied. According to the Salt Lake
press, many mines, hitherto worked at
a profit, have been compelled to sus-
pend operations altogether. With us
the result has not been so disastrous.
Independent of the ores they contain,
the ores of Eureka District are rich in
gold and silver. They are sufficiently
remunerative to justify reduction,
even though lead should become en-
tirely worthless In the markets of the
world. OF course our profits were
greater when, one year ago, lead was
worth $40 per ton, than they can be
now with this metal OF $50 per ton. To
simplify the case, the decline means
to Eureka q loss of about s. on each
ton of ore worked. The present com
bined daily capacity of our furnaces is
in the neighborhood of 400 tons. 1t
therefore follows that the mining CON-
panies Of Eureka are suffering to the
tune of about $500 a day from this
cause alone. For one month our
losses are 500, 900, and for one year
Sl,l6S 900. 1t will thus be seer that
the depreciation in the price of lead is
a matter of very considerable conse-
quence to the mining interests of this
district. But this drawback need not
be considered permanent. The pros
poets of war or peace in Europe has
but little 10 do with il. To the general
prostration of business in the United
Ststes, we think. may be attributed the
real cause. When the country be-
come prosperous again, the demand
for lead, we doubt not, will become as
great as ever, with the market rates
ruling approximately at the old figures.
Until then. such of our mining COM
panies as can hold this portion of their
product, will find it profitable to do so.

WASHINGTON INwEL-
LIGEWCE.
EX-GOVERNOR WELLS ARRIVES
AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Feb. /.

ttEt I0o -
A we'll informed Louisianan say ex-
Governor Wells arrived in Washington
yesterday, and took lodgings in a pri-
waite house, not caring TO have his
locality publicly known, but that a
small circle of public men have been
contidentially informed that he is in
the city, and that his demaut on them
is for protection from the pending pro-
secution in New Orleans. If they
should be unsuccessful in furnishing it,
he will leave the country, provided
sufficient money is furnished him.
otherwise he will protect himself as far
as possible, by making unpleasant dis
closures concerning his connection
with the Returning Board, and affect
ing other prominent parties. There is
no means of corroborating this, owing
to the st~rictness of Wells concealment.
1t is supposed that the petition OF
the Returning Board. sent to Associate
Justice Bradley for a writ of prohibi.
ton, having in view a transfer of the
cases from the State to the United
States Circuit Court, will receive a
favorable response.
Great Storm Or the Atlantic Coast.
NEW YORK, Feb. /.
The storm has been fearful, and dis
patches report damage and disaster all
along the Atlantic coast. AT Coney
Island the destruction of property has
been great, and eight lives have been
lost. The scene of the great calamity
is at Manhattan beach, on the east side
of the island, where the storm struck
with the greatest violence, fairly
sweeping everything before it. Half
a mile east from the Brig Hotel were
two shantieS, where two men, named
Wyune and Brannan, lived with their
families. Shortly after 10 O'Clock the
men, who were employed as watch
men by the Hotel Company, left their
homes for the purpose of reporting the
alarming state of affairs 10 the head
Waterman, and, during their absence,
the shanties in which they left their
families, were swept away, and the IN
fortunate occupants, numbering three
women and five children. persisted.
There were three tidal wave which
followed in quick succession, and not
a vestige of the shanties were left.
The bodies of the unfortunates were
carried to sea with the exception of
that of Mrs. Wyune, which was picked
up at Sheepshead Bay this morning.
The tide rose nearly five feet higher
than at any previous recorded flood.
At other parts of the island the damage
done has been excessive. The drive
along the beach, known as the "Con-
course was completely undermined.
and is unsafe for horses. At Coney
Island there has been wreck and ruin
all along the beach. The Manhattan
Beach Hotel property suffered most.
Later reports from Sheepshead Bay
state that the bodies of Mrs. Brennan
and her children have been found
there.

Letter rom Hendricks.

NEW YORK, EeD- =.
The Herald publishes a letter from
Governor Hendricks to August Bel
mont, on the silver question. The con
clusion is as follows: should silver
money be restored, as l have thought
of the pledge OF 1869, of payment in
coin, and the assurance in the act of
1870, of payment in coin, the then
standard value, would seem to author
ize, to almost require it. A compli-
ance with a contract cannot be a breach
of public faith. Our country is a large
producer of silver. The quality OF
money is as important as its value. l
think that when restored. silver
viii approach, and perhaps reach
gold in value; but should experience
prove that it must remain below gold.
because of its greater production, CON
gress has ample power to provide
against any evils likely to follow"
