Nor OvERwoRK.-A writer in the New York Times thinks that "over- work " is carrying, just now, much more than it's share. He says:
 Numberless men, alleged to be hurt by overwork, do not work half enough. Their trouble comes from superabun- dance of leisure and activity
 They yawn through three or four hours in the office or counting room are too indolent to walk up town eat too heavy and rich a dinner go out afterwards to see merchants, bankers and the like, and join boon companions who walk around billiard tables or sit at cards, and keep very thirsty until the drowsy steeples toll two and three This is overwork, but overwork in the wrong direction, and of very different kind from that supposed.
 OVcrwork covers multitude of bad habits; 1t is made a scapegoat for count less transgressions it is very often a shallow pretence, miserable sham.
 While there are far too many who overwork, there are a great many that break down and kill themselves by lazi- ness, self-indulgence and dissipation. Very decidedly, overwork is overdone.

SAVING LIFE AT SEA.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In the editorial in Mondays HERALD upon the
recent disaster to tho steamship State of Virginia
you say
The fact that the ships boats were not
adapted to landing in the surf will cause unfa-
vorable comment; for some. at least. OF vessels
boats should be specially adapted to tails purpose.
landing can be made by the passengers OF vessel
wrecked near the coast.
This is perfectly true and calls attention again ia
Q subject which needs thorough Investigation. Un.
doubtedly the steamers Of all the regular trsnsat
lantic lines marves Of strength and speed. The
heaviest gales and toughest make no more i'm
preston upon them than to retard their progress
and discomfort to the passengers.
Millions Of people have been carried to and
fro with less percentage OF accident than
upon the turnpike road in the good old days Of stage
coaching Yet Notwithstanding this general security
and comfort there is defect which in the event OF
certain class OF unavoidable accidents makes
travel the most perilous of adventures. DOUBT IL
any steamer plying between this port and Europe is
adequately provided with the means of saving life
in case Of disaster. This doubt Is supported by
tual experience. To 60 back no further than the
most recent accidents-the Pommeranias boats and
tackle were so unmanageable in an emergency that
many OF her passengers were drowned in
the state Of virginia's boats coula not land
In the surf. and even the special surf boat Of
the station capsized and OF its occupants
lost. Let any passenger during the trip Liverpool
inspect the ships boats aud then calculate the mum.
Der of persons to be saved in case of accident my.
self have counted nearly Ave hundred persons to
twelve boats. and though the ships discipline
perfect, the boats strong and the tackle easy to
handle, doubt ii . hundred people could have got
safely away from the ships side upon a sudden emer.
gency in moderately rough weather. 1t seems to
me that the only really effective method Of saving
life in such cases IL by means of RATS working
automatically and capable Of bearing great weights
in rough water. There are already several contriv
ances OF this sort which have stood the test of
iment and which greatly superior to the ordinary
boats With one or two OF these large floats adapted
to the deck of q steamer in such way that the sink
ing Of the ship would launch them automatically.
hundreds OF lives could be saved independently Of
the boats and the actual safety OF traffic greatly
increased Would not the plan be worth trying
make the suggestion for what IL Is WORTH and hope
you will give 1t place in your columns.

The Invitation of the Goth N. Y. Regiment
to M ontreal.
NEW YORK, June 10-A Montreal special
says the invitation to the Goth New York
Qrsih) regiment to visit that city was extended
by section of the st. Patrick's Society, and
not by the Irish people of that city. 1t does
not meet with hearty response, and the fact
is referred to that the Goth is the regiment that
refused to parade in New York at the recep-
ton, several years ago, of the Prince of Wales.
A Montreal paper asks the question: "Can
any Canadian regiment turn out and act as a
body guard to a body of men with such a his
tory as the 69th?" Canadian Irishmen are as
loyal to Canada and the British throne as are
their English and Scottish fellow citizens, and
during the Fenian excitement in 1866 and 1870
were as actively engaged on the frontier. The
President of the st. Patrick's Society being
the Colonel of the Prince of Wales own regi-
ment here, the Irish volunteers feel placed in
an awkward fix in regard to the invitation to
the 69th, which is unfor tunate. An exciting
meeting of the st. Patrick's Society was held
in Montreal last night, at which reporters were
soundly berated and excluded, and it is under
stood that after long session the society fin
ally decided to stand to the invitati on extend
ed by its President In the clubs and military
circles in Montreal, the invitation extended is
looked upon as civil affair, one in which the
Canadian militia has nothing to do, and the
officers and men make no secret of it, that
not man would turn out to welcome them,
at least not as fellow soldiers and comrades.
