NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-It is reported here
that the mail steamship Bellona, Captain
Pallenen, from Montreal and Quebec, was
driven ashore durInga terrible gale at Lake
St. Peter. No further particulars could be
obtained owing to a tremendous sea running.
The Bellona was iron built, and of l,9l4 tons
measurement, built in Glasgow, Scotland, in
1862 had seven bulk-heads, and was consid-
cred a good vessel. She was owned by H.
w. Hughes, of Liverpool. ..
The English mail steamer, Albert, from
Piclon. Nova Scotia, is reported wrecked on
the Magdelena Islands. The reports say the
passengers and crew are all saved.

The Postmastcr-G General is meeting with
great opposition in his commendable efforts
to break up the lottery business. He has is
sued instructions to all postmasters to prevent
the passage through the mails of all matter
forwarded by the lottery robbers, and has al
ready several lawsuits on his hands as a
consequence of the order. based onthe charge
of illegal detention of letters. These suits
will finally decide the question as to whether
the government has or has not the right to
protect the public from being victimized by
sharpers through the medium of the mails.

Riot Threatened.

SLIGO, Nov. 26.-The town was on the
verge of riot last night, and the police had to
clear the streets. They were stoned and
made several arrests. Darrit was serenaded
by two bands. The police paraded the streets
until this morning.
Further reinforcements have arrived, but
no fresh disturbances have occurred. 1t is
thought the government intends to remove the
trial of the prisoners to Dublin instead of
king them to the county assizes. There
=. a larger number of magistrates III the
bench to-day than hitherto. Killen's examin-
alton is proceeding. Davitt and DAILY are
present as spectators. Davitt has telegraphed
to Now Castle that he will keep his engage
ment to spend Sunday and Monday there, and
will attend a monster meeting at Glasgow.
Monroe, the Queens council, said that Kill
lens being a barrister might lead people to
believe they could act upon his advice. He
made a long quotation from Killen's speech at
the meeting on which he (Monroe) relied for
KilIen's committal, to the effect that he would
like nothing better than to see thousands Of
men coming over mountains, rife in hand.
He showed that others who were present at
the meeting had demonstrated against Killen
counselling physical force. Rea made a long,
rambling speech for the defense. He was or
dered by the Bench to sit down. Short hand
reporters and Others were then examined.

A Raw OF H0De.

WASHINGTON, Gov. 26.-Secretary Schurz
received the following telegram this morning:
clos Pinos Agency, Col, November 24th.
We have information that the White River
Utes are on their way IN, including Jack.
We are now of the opinion that we shall be
successful in carrying out your wishes, at all
events We have the patience to try it. So far
as danger is concerned, the commission have
not given that a thought. They must take
chances. (Signed) HATCH,
Commissioner"
The latter portion of the dispatch is in re-
ply to a telegram from Secretary Schurz, in
which he said the commissioners, if they
have reason to think themselves in danger,
must follow their own judgment in taking
such steps as their safety may require.

1t is evident from the tenor Of the dispatch
es from the Los Pinos agency this morning,
that the deliberations of the peace council
have been f~ruitless of the desired results, and
that the Utes will have 70 be whipped into
subsection by the troops. The utter futility
of the efforts on the part of the commissioners
to secure testimony tending to criminate the
guilty parties, is conceded by the commits
sioners themselves, who are so fearful of
treachery while conducting the examination,
that they have deemed it necessary to barri-
cade themselves as a means of protection in
the event of = very probable outbreak. These
government representatives were selected for
the very delicate duty of carrying on the in
ouiry. on account of their knowna ability and
especial adaptation for the labor, and the fail
ure TO bring the business to a successful ter
mination is therefore not chargeable to inefi-
cheney or the employment Of improper meth
DDS to e..ain the desired end. Apeacefnl So
luton of the trouble is consequently out OF the
question, and the resort to military operations
becomes inevitable. Tomaintain the honor and
respect due to the government, a new CAIN
paign against the savages Is now under con-
sideration at Washington. 1t is designed to

The trial of the Irish land agitators was
begun yesterday in Sligo, the charge against
the prisoners being sedition. They are rep
resented to be intelligent men, and they must
have been aware of the utter futility of in
citing a successful instruction against the
English government. 1t is most likely, there
fore, that they were merely ~laboring to secure
the rights of the tenantry and to encourage
them to withstand and repel the oppression
of the LANDLORDS. To assume a position
Of defiance toward the moneyed no.
bility of England, however, is an unpardon-
able political crime, and in all likelihood
the court will find them guilty as charged in
the Indictment. If they should perchance
be pronounced innocent it will be solely be-
cause the British government is fearful of a
popular uprising which might be apprehended
with some show of reason. The people ap-
pear thoroughly aroused by this last tyranni-
cal restriction on the liberty of free speech.

Vessel I~nspectors.


New YORK, Nov. 26.-A dispatch from
Philadelphia says: s9The board Of United
States steam vessel inspectors made public
this morning their conclusions regarding the
Champion and Lady Octavla collision on the
7th inst. off Cape Delaware, and by which so
many lives were lost. The board finds, after
the examination of fifteen witnesses OF the
Champions crew and passengers, and six OF
the Lady Octavia's crew, that the disaster was
wholly due to the absence of aproper lookout
OIL the Champion, as the night was clear, and
the mate and boatswain of the Lady Octavia
state that the Champions lights were seen
from ten to fifteen minutes before the COL
lision. The report further says: ave are of
the opinion that the fault rests mainly with r.
H. Leonard, first mate Of the Champion, who
had charge of the watch; and were it not for
the fact that he is lost, we should express our
selves in condemnation of his actions in more
severe terms He called the lookout from his
post to assist in setting the topsail, not keep
ing a lookout himself or giving instructions
to the man at the wheel to do so, the small
number of the crew necessitating the assist

Mad at the Way She was Saved.

Don't 60 out OF that log" screamed the
masculine attendance, as one of the damsels
walked out on the careening limb of an old
dead tree, which lay diagonally with the
bank.
"Why?" but she kept on going.
at will turn with you ~ shouted the gen.
tleman, warningly.
allow can it?" and the limb with a long
sweep of the pole descended into the water.
just then there was a slight oscillation of
the log, two dainty feet swept from under a
fully to the tremendous food, and, with a
sti1ed scream, body and feet disappeared
from view. But for a moment only. The
next instance, like the twin eXtremities of a
pair of scissors, two symmetrically modelled
female combinations appeared above the
surface, bobbed about for a second, and then
sank again.
BY this time the gentleman was in the
water, and by good fortune contrived to get
hold of one of the garter-clad feet, and was
Juggling away manfully in the direction of the
bank. But the unfortunate appeared to be
turned wrong side out, and dragged heavily,
like an inverted umbrella. But a landing
was made at last, and the young lady, like, a
capsized vessel, was put RICH; side up with
care. As soon, however, as she had regained
her usual balance, she turned furiously upon
her rescuer:
"You wretch! Why did you pull me out
by the feet ?"
because l couldn't get hold of any other
part of you. You seemed to me to be all
legs"
s'Sir! How dare you"
81 beg pardon, but really I did the best
could"
The subject was too delicate to continue,
but it was evident the lady and her friends
were excessively indignant. No apologies
could conciliate them, and it was in a tone Of
inexpressible sorrow that he said In turning
away
s1f you ladies will insist in turning upside
down when you get i'm the water / can't hell

Secretary. $50 is everybody else now"
Belknap went on to express his confidence in
Grants nomination and election in 1880. He
didn't believe the canal project would amount
to anything, and felt confident that nothing
would occur to interfere with Grants return
to the White House. Belknap is now living
at Keokuk, Iowa, his old home, and is en-

The achievements of Bell, Edison and

The achievements of Bell, Edison and all
other modern inventors of note have been
thrown into the shade, if not into utter mid
night darkness by the late discovery by a
German scientist of a process for coloring
human eyes to any desired shade, not only
without injury to the delicate orbs but with
positive advantage to the powers of sight.
He will not only contract to make light col
ored eyes as black and flashing as were Cleo
patra's or as blue as oriental skies by day, but
will guarantee to turn them out in hues OF
silver and gold. He says golden eyes are ez-
tremely becoming. The discovery is known
as :. ~occular transmutatiOn."

The New York Mining Record is a truthful
and reliable journal, but its character as a
veracious chronicle of mining news would not
suffer if the editor who complies the Utah
bullion shipments from the Salt Lake papers
were to exercise a little more care. He adds
together the bullion received by the railroad
company, the banks and the express offices
seemingly unaware that he uses the same
shipments no less than three times. The

receive all the credit their bullion product

A daring robbery was last week perpetrated
near Boise City. The overland stage was
stopped by two masked men at Pilgrim Springs
Station, who ordered the driver to stop the
coach. The robbers had secured the hostler,
tied and blindfolded him. One passenger
was on board-E. Blewitt, a cattle man.
They tied and blindfolded him and took all
the money he had, 800 then tied and blind.
folded the driver and took all he had, 81, and
broke open Wells, Fargo & Co.'S treasure
box, but got nothing. They did not disturb
the mail sacks. They did their work very
deliberately, and stayed at the station and
cooked and ate their supper.
