The Raven Sensation.

Inc haven sensation.
By steamers from below which
passed here going up last night, the
news was received that the towboat
Raven was passed in the river, pro-
ceeding quietly up stream, as if she
had not created the slightest sensa-
ton, and she was a hundred miles OF
so above Yicksbprg, The news was
also received to-day by private tele-
grams from Vieksburg that the sick
had been removed from the Raven
were all conyalescent, and that they
had nothing but swamp chills or water
melon gripes. The crew Of the Raven
will doubtless be astonished at the
stir they made among the doctors and
throughout the country.

A Dolls Reception.
The Novel Exhibition That Interested the Cleveland People.
 Inc and

From the Cleveland Herald-l
 The novel exhibition which the young ladies of Plymouth church have been pre- pairing for several weeks past, was given yes terday afternoon and evening, and was a mo- table success, financially, artistically and socially. Mrs. l.. c. Smith, of Euclid ave- nue, had put her spacious parlors in readi ness for the event, and on the afternoon and evening of Tuesday they were thronged with children and older folks who came to pay their respects to the dolls and to carry them away to pleasant homes. It is safe to say that no such reception has been given in Cleveland before, and evidently the many vis- itors appreciated the fact, as large numbers came early and remained late, as though 10th to leave until they had examined and admir- ed every one of the numerous dolls which the kindness and skill of the ladies had provided. The east parlor was set aside especially for the dolls and was beautifully decorated with flags and flowers. The tables were arranged in the rooms, one for young lady,, girl P' and ''boy" dolls, another for ''baby'' dolls l and a third was covered with tiny kid shoes, doll iewelry, doll powder boxes, and doll toi- lettes in every variety. The young lady dolls came to the reception in most brilliant cos tumes. Apparently several had just arrived l from Paris, and the latest fashions from the 1 Parisian milliners were represented. Satin l and silk dresses, made Princesse and basque, and trimmed with the richest faces, were I worn by some and the any-colored and ele- gant dresses are beyond description. The l table on which the baby dolls were displayed was, however, the centre of attraction Here 1 all kinds of babies were on exhibition, and
 they, too, were dressed in gorgeous baby
 clothes ''Helen's babies'' were there, too,
 and their grotesque antics was humorous feature In fact there were little dolls and big dolls, walking dolls and talking dolls, 1n- ported and domestic dolls, dolls black and dolls white Young ladies and mothers and
 children were not the only persons who were
 present to admire and buy there were young
 men, and what was particularly noticeble, several bachelors were observed admiring and
 pricing the prettiest baby dolls, but for what 1 nurnose was not learned.

Sliding on the Green on Sunday. o the Editor of the JouRNAI. AND Co11R1ER.

Sliding On the Green on Sunday.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 About o'clock Sunday afternoon, while aBrolling along the Green with friend, saw number of young girls and little boys sliding there to which the officer on duty objected, forbidding them to do so on ac- count of it's being Sunday and disturbing the church meetings. I asked the officer if there was law forbidding sliding on Sunday, and I was informed there was. Such being the case, the officer must be commended for per forming his duty by enforcing the police reg ulations. But as to the law in question, I think it is high time that it should be struck off the police regulations, believing that it is false religion that would debar the little folks from enjoying themselves at any time, because the merry laugh of the chill dren jars on the sensitive ears of the holy worshippers. Will not most of our citizens agree with me, if they look at this matter with minds unbiased by pseudo religious zeal, that there is not a more holy sight than to see the young folks enjoying the above referred to most exhilarating exercise and the sound of their merry voices? Surely heaven will not frown on our children for enjoying the pure air at any time. Let us hear from the people on this matter at once, so that the city authorities may understand their needs.

 iron screw-eye to the window-sill of every sleeping-room of every hotel in the country. Such a contrivance, it is stated, would have prevented the loss of life at Oshkosh. The suggestion certainly deserves to be consid cred earnestly and without delay.
 Contrary to the general opinion, it appears from the annual report of the Supervising h. spector General of Steam Vessels that during the past year there has not been unusual number of fatal casualties to steam vessels During the year there have been but twenty six accidents involving loss of life, as against thirty two during that preceding. There were three less in number by explosions, two less by collisions and three less by snags, wrecks and sinking, while by fire the number of accidents was two in excess of that of the year before, and the total number of lives lost greater by eight The collision of the steamers Narragansett and Stonington was the most serious casualty of the year, and the Inspector General says concerning it
 'sAbout thirty lives were lost by this acci- dent, due almost wholly, it is believed, to the demoralized condition of the master of the Narrae ansett, who was among the first to leave his vessel. The collision was the result of gross carelessness on the part of the captains of the respective vessels, who failed to exchange the proper fog signals as required by the rules of the Board of Supervising Inspectors. Notwithstanding this, the accident might have been avoided had not both officers in their excitement repeated their bell signals to their engineers after stopping and back ing, which had the effect of reversing their first signals and starting the vessels ahead at full speed. Upward of three hundred per sons were saved from death by means of the life saving appliances provided on the sink ing steamers under the requirements of the United States steamboat laws without which nearly every person on board the Narragansett would probably have been lost. It having been in timated in various public prints that the ln- speetors at New London had failed to prop erly inspect said steamer at her last annual 1 inspection, visited her in company with the Supervising Inspector of the district at Noank Conn, where the vessel was then ly- 1 ing in the dry dock, and assisted in taking l from her cabin 300 life preservers in good I order, showing that there had been no det- l ciency in that element of safety, as has been charged. Inquiries upon the subject satls- l fed us that when the steamer left the hands l of the inspectors she was in every respect in 1 full compliance with the requirements of the
 law, and that had proper discipline existed 1t | is more than probable that not single life would have been lost.''

In an address to the schoolboys of Eng land the Bishop of Manchester speaks with much severity of the growing prevalence among young men of a fatal spirit of care lessness Everything, he says is dismissed between smile and the puff of cigar. Even active viciousness is not more fatal to the growth of an energetic national spirit than the habit of supposing that nothing matters very much, and that it IS absurd to become profoundly interested in anything A large proportion of recent suicides the Bishop attributes to the sense of satlety which springs from fippancy andindifference Truthfulness, pority, courage and generosity are, he adds, what once went farthest 1n making a leader among schoolboys.

 be required as many oxen, ten abreast, as
 would cover a road 72 miles in length, as many sheep as would fill a road of 120 miles, ' miles of calves, 9 miles of pigs, as many poultry as would, closely packed, cover an area of 50 acres, as many hares and rabbits as would fill 20 miles of road 100 abreast, 6 pyramid of loaves with a square basis of COG feet to the side and five times as high as St. PauIs, and 1000 columns of hogs 1 heads of beer, each of the said columns one mile in height, and all this exclusive of other articles of food.
