The terrible disaster which berell
tina steamer Narragansctt in Long
Island Sound Friday night, illustrates
atrcsh the Importance OF Keeping the
.mall boats and life preservers and
rats, which steamers usually carry
in condition and position for imnl-
diatc use. In this instance, while the
steamboat seems to have been ahuu-
Gantly provided with boats and rats,
they were 50 located that they could
not be launched with case, and when
launched could not be properly
manned. Indeed, the credit for such
Efforts as were made to save the lives
o. those on board appears to have
been due rather to the cXertiong OF the
passengers themselves than the officer,
and crew. Nearly thrce-quurters Of
an hour intcryened between the co..
.ision and tbs sinking OF the vessel,
ana, ii proper discipline had prevailed
on board, there is every reason to be
iieVe that o much larger number of
lives could have been saved. AS it
Was, no attempt was made to qucll the
panic which naturally seized the help
less passengers, and they were left
to look out for themselves as best they
could. Another bad feature of the
case is the surprising iuei1icieucy
which the boat crews OF the other
steamers displayed in picking up the
castaWays. In some cases the latter
were i'll the water fully two hours be-
fore they were rescued, and doubtless
many persons perished during that
time from sheer exhaustion within
sight of help. We shudder to think
what the loss of life would have been
had storm been raging at the time
and the sea been running mountain
high, instead of being, as it fortunately
was, as smooth as glass. As it was
the most narrowing details continue
to reach MS of the efforts of the help
less passengers to save their lives, and
III many instances children were lost
and their mothers saved, and vice
versa. Altougether the scenes of that
dreadful night are enough to cause
ones blood to run cold at their recital
and there should be rigid investiga-
ton to ascertain just where the re-
sponsibility for this terrible affair lies.

The Glut Of silver Dollars.



There have doubtless been other
acts of Congress showing quite as
little wisdom in their authors as the
Silver-coinage act of 1873, but we do
not believe there has been any other
the supreme folly of which has been
so amply demonstrated without Sc.
curing prompt amendment or re-
peal. No one pretends that it has
realized the expectations of even its
least sanguine supporters. The large,
unwieldy coins were regarded with
dl5lavor from the first. Every one
receiving them with reluctance and
made haste TO pass them on to his
neighbor.
By the terms of tile act the Secretary
of the Treasury is compelled to coin
at least S2,0O0,O00 each month, In
his last annual report he gives the
amount then coined as $45, 600, 900, of
which S13, 3,000,0 900 only were in circu-
lation. The remainder were piled up
in the Treasury vaults, and all efforts
OF the Treasury Department to get
them permanently into circulation
have proved unavailing. Congress
on the opening of its regular session
last December had this anomalous
condition of things brought to its at
tention by the Secretary ofthe Treas
ury and was urged to repeal the law
which obliged him to keep the United
States Mints turning out silver dollars
at Il dead loss to the Government and
the country.
In II speech delivered before the
New York Chamber of commerce in
May last, Secretary Sherman said
that the amount of silver coins and
bullion then i'll the Treasury was S6S,-
100000. With the monthly accretions
the storage room became gradually
exhausted, and Congress, though it
would not stop the coming, recog-
nized the embarrassment OF the Treas
ury Department SO faras to appropri-
ate $4,000 to provide more room for
the accommodating dollars.
Before Congress shall reconvene
there must be SIP 100000 additional,
which might otherwise be applied to-
ward the extinction OF the interest
bearing debt, sunk in the Treasury
vaults. Whether there is wisdom
enough in the present Congress to
lead it to provide some measure of re.
lief at its final session is extremely
doubtfal. The country may, there
fore, have to wait year later till "a
Republican Congress can cut off this
stream of deprecated dollars which is
now embarrassing the Treasury and
threatens ultimately TO infiict great
injury to the business and credit ofthe
country.

The mutterings here and there in
the Methodist conferences for num-
berof years have shown that war is
inevitable between the pulpit and the
pipe. The recent vote of 125 to s3 in
the annual conferences, against the
use of tobacco, and in favor of request
ing every candidate for the ministry
to pledge himself to abstain from the
weed is unmistakable evidence of the
incompatibility of tobacco and Meth
odism. The common link that binds
all men is sociability, but on the plane
of the tobacco box and the pipe good
Methodist ministers will no longer
meet their fellow men,

A writer on French and English
contrasts says: "To call an Engliyh.

woman that she was good, cow-lil5c
creature would be no very grave Of
fensc, but applied to French people
would be a deadly insult. You must
not call FFencAman q canary, either,
nor Il turkey cock, the latter term
meaning much more than it does in
England; nor must you say OF II lady
that she is Il wren (}iROtte), this being
synonymous in French to saying that
she is simpleton. The similarity in
the sound of English and French
words often cause foreigners who
visit France TO make mistakes Thus
they will ask for an dppartnicat when
they do not want Il suit of rooms, but
one single room; and they say that
their style of living is ururietlr when
they seek to convey that it is luxurious

they mistake bonnet for bonnet, which
must be rendered chapeau; Uicaire for
vicar, which is cure, while curate is
0tcdire; and discussion for discussion,
whereas this word in French means
an angry wrangle. Frenchmen are
great kissers and shakers of
hands, but the latter courtesy is not
practiced between sexes. A Frenchman
bows to a lady without extending his
palm, and he would be thought very
forward indeed if he tried to shake
hands with an unmarried lady. He
might kiss married lady, however,
on New Years Day, or in an outburst
OF great emotion on any other occasion
without anybody-evcn the husband
-demurring; and he may embrace
members of his own sex at all times.

The New Counterfeit.

The secret service Bureau in this
city yesterday received from the United
states Treasury Department notice in
reference to the new Counterfeit S100
bills on the National Exchange Bank
of Baltimore, and giving Instructions
how the same can be detected. The
notice states that in the genuine bills
their is "A black dot under the letter''sr
in the abbreviated word Cashier
while in the counterfeit there is none.
Further, the letter "J' in "July"
strikes the shading of the IN" in
NATIONAL in the counterfeit note,
while in the genuine they are the
thirty-secondth of an inch apart. In
the heart-shaped figures in the left
end of the panel containing the word
Baltimore eight lines appear in the
spurious note, whereas only seven are
in the genuine. The border of the
genuine note, containing the word
and figures "hundred," is square
jointed at the corners and poorly exc
cuted, while in the other note no joint
is seen and the workmanship is
smooth. AS a sure test for all genuine
500 national bank notes, place &
straight-edge at the bottom Of the
words, with the u. S. Treasurer ut
Washington" ;" and allowing the edge
to extend to the figure of Liberty it
will strike the lips of the figure, while
applied to counterfeit it strikes the
base of the chin.

Washington, June II. - The See
retary of the Interior to-day rendered
decision ovcr-ruling the construction
heretofore given to the compensation
clause of the census act by the Super
intendent of the Census. The Sccre-
tary's decision is of direct pccuniury
interest to all of the So, 600 enumcralors
now employed throughout the coun-
try. He says (atter quoting the clause
in question): "In the view of this
department the trainers of the provis-
ion quoted intended thereby to fix Il
basis of compensation which should
not be exceeded, and to direct that the
CnumcratOrs for districts cast of the
one-hundrcdth meridian should not be
paid q rate exceeding s. for ten hours
actual field work or 10 cents an hour,
and that cnumcrators for districts " est
Of the hundrcdth meridian should
not be paid rate in excess OF 50 for 10
hours work or 90 cents an hour, with
out regard TO number Of days over
which their services should extend.

hand, if the euumeratoys should aver

1t has leaked out at Washington
that at the time of General Grants
return from Asia, the President and
Mr.. Evarts were considering the pro-
priety of rendering him the position
of Ambassador to China, to dispose of
the YeXed questions pending, and to
revise the treaty stipulations between
the United States and that ancient en-
pire. The rank Of ambassador is the
highest authorized by the constitution
and it was intended to allow not less
than $4,000 for expenses of the mis-
sion. But before final action was taken
it became evident that ii was the pur-
pose of General Grants friends to
make him candidate at Chicago, and
the secretary was disposed to hesitate
in making such tender, for fear that
the public might supposeit was simply
an effort TO obtain little cheap notori-
