INSURANCE COMPANIES DISTRUSTFUL

Tho regulation of the safety appliances of ocean
steamships has been very widely discussed since tho
HERALD began its investigation. into the actual prac
tice of the companies aud their commanders. 1t is
the prevailing opinion that the solution of the mys
terry Of SO many dreadful ocean disasters may be
successfully sought for in this direction. Some of
the disclosures given below greatly strengthen this
impression and the subject will yet further ag
tation.
The reporter commissioned for the task continued
his peregrinaions after his interview with Mr.. Un

vessel is the latest built, of the Anchor company's

with belief in her stanchness and buoyancy. She
has iron bulkheads reaching to the main deck.
These are all watertght within the hold The valves

young steamships. There are two auxiliary steam
pumps, independent of the main engine which drain

deck.
cat what times are the sluice valves open?' asked
the reporter.
Never except when they tested by the carpen-

every compartment is sounded three times day..
"Have you ever known of steamship leaving port
with her bulkhead valves open?"
II do not think that it ever happens. When a
steamship is struck in her immense engine and

Malarious Fever, or Fever and Asue.


This disease is so well known throughout
the United 8 ates, that our article on the
subject may not develop anything new.
Ague is met with especially in the low,
swampy. marshy portions of the West and
south, where constant moisture and deeav
of vegetable matter is prolific source. 1t
has been fully demonstrated that the pois-
onous agents in the miasmatic air are the
microscopic sporuies of q cryptOgmatic
plant, and wherever these spores or "agne
plants" are found growing. the disease also
exists. Tie symptoms usually experienced
when the disease is contracted is feeling
of languor, general uneasiness. stretching,
yawning, &C., occasionally pain in the
head, back. and a certain amount of febrile
excitement. So soon as these symptoms
are experienced, evacuate the bowels and
relieve the congested liver by taking pur-
gative doses of Swedish Bitters; when this
is accomplished reduce the dose to one or
two tea poonfuls every three hours, in Or
der to produce tonic and slightly stimu-
ating effect. Congested liver, or "ague
cake" can not exist while nsing Swedish

too (she had believed he was nearly anil
lionaire.)
One listened to her and condoled with
her partly-I speak for myself-because
Amina had wished it, partly out of sor-
row for her. Yet once / could have
strsngled her for anger. That once was
when Mile. Marcere, of the Anatole
4 heatre, came down to the Pension for
day or two. Mile. Marcere was dressed
very quietly in tight-ftting black
dress and pretty fan of grey feathers.
She looked bright tandintelligent; and were
we not all glad to see new face and to
hear fresh bright chatter that said ev-
ery-day nothings as though they were
holiday something's We knew no Paris
scandal, and wanted to know none; and
though Nile. Marcere was an actress, and
did play burlesque parts, and had created
q, ,furore last year by her performance of
Phaeton' in La Famille d Apollon, why
should she not be a very good creature
notwithstanding? So we all lionized her,
begged her to play on the arrangement
in wood and ivory in the salon which
was called by courtesy piano, and ap-
Iplauded her songs and laughed at her
Jokes. Why, in the name of all the gods,
must that wretch Mrs. Manderssuddenly
sweep out of the room, and say to Amina
in tone that was sour enough to gall us
all, and make poor Mile. Marcere blush
crimson, 'I am going to my room, there
is too much company for me here to-

Inever could quite forgive Mrs. Man
ders this: and | was not sorry when she
went. Her departure came about most
strangely. She had a fayorite cat, and
one day her pet fell ill. She declared the
landlord of the Pension had poisoned
it to spite her. She had no proof what
ever, of it, but "1 know it,"
she said, with the same look of super
natural wisdom that my cousin T..
assumes when he wants me to believe
that he is in the confidence of her Maj
esty's Government. The cat shortly be-
fore its decease, vomited severely, and by
so doing spoilt carpet. This carpet Mrs.
Manders was asked to pay for; and she
had to do so, despite her protest that as
she knew the cat had been poisoned it was
doubly wicked to make her pay for the
results of the crime. She wrote des-
perate letter to her husband, saying she
was miserable here and begging for
home. He replied that she could return
to England, and arrangements will be
made for giving you home as you so
ardently desire"
So Mrs Manders packed up her goods
and departed.
IL wish [ knew what has happened to
her. Amina said week after she had
gone. But no news of her ever reached
us. "She was ugly and uneducated,"
Amina said; "and yet how sad it all was!
how sorry one was for her!" And what
ever may later have befallen Mrs. Man
ders she must surely have thought often
of that compassion Amina showed her
with such continual gentleness. Coming
as it did from no feeling duty but simply
from Amina's own goodwill, it touched
us all in the Pension Richelieu. It made
us feel that Amina was wiser than the

This afternoon we attended a Gospel temper

Mrs. l.. II. Hagans a lady past the prime of
life, but she is one of the women who will
never grow old" Though old Father Time
has whitened her hair, he has otherwise dealt
very gently with her. Seldom have we heard
a passage of scripture rs beautifully read, or
in Is sweet voice as Mrs. H's. 1t is as mus
ica as the ripping Of Il brooklct.
We had noticed Il slender, pretty woman
near Mrs. Hagans, and felt agreat deal of Gu.
rositv concerning her. and when she was in
troduced as Miss Willard, We felt that it was
indeed good to be there. The name of Fran
ces Willard is familiar to all and she is all our
fancy painted her. Easy unostentatious, and
graceful is Miss W. and all who have heard
her will attest that she is ".justa delightful wo.

evident, from some Of her remarks, that while
passing along the streets She gathers points"
from sentences she chances to overhear.
That the L. c. T. L. is doing a grand work
