LOST AT SEA.

ST.. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Sept. q
There is very little doubt that the
steamer City of Vera Cruz, of the
Mexican line, which sailed from
New York on the 25th Of August
for Havana and Vera Cruz, went
down in the recent hurricane, which
has alreaey strewn our coast with
wrecks. Only the taintest hopes re-
main that any of her passengers
have survived. This terrible dis
covery was made here yesterday
when portions of the mail carried by
the ill-fated vessel were washed
ashore some miles south of this city.
Five bodies have been recovered,
three being the corpscs of unknown
men; two from their dress are
thought to be passengers and the
other evidently sailor. The shore
fjr over forty miles south Of this
place is strewn with the cargo of the
Gamer. A trunk was found mark
ed "Hernandcz." This corresponds
wi h name of n lady on the passen-
ger list Of the City Of Vera Cruz, as
appears in the New York papers of
last Thursday.

The writer asked Bartley where he was
going to get this race Of dramatists from.
From among the men who make study
Of humanity he promptly answered; "from
the men who make an actual study Of the
melodrama of life; the men who are telling
it in the columns Of the daily papers can tell
it behind the footlights. Let me say that
am glad the prejudice against writer's for the
press writing for the stage is fast dying out
There was time when If a dramatic critic
wrote play, and he had that play accepted
by a manager, he was sneered at, and his
honesty was assailed. He was supposed to be
ever after under obligation to the manager,
and the manager was supposed to have ac-
cepted the play for the purpose Of obtaining
some favor. In London and Paris Journalists
do most of the stage work, and they are
properly recognized as the best people to do
it. Before long the same condition Of affairs
will obtain here, I hope"

4 CAUTIOUS ANsWE 1T was
said of President Van Bnren that
no one could get a downright yes
or no from him. The same is
said of a distinguished English
man, lrch-Deacon Denison, At
least in debate he will never
commit himself, while he is quick
to tnke advantage of "every
point in the game"
Ii the following story about
him illustrating this fact is not
true, it is certainly "well inven-
ted" Denison was closely
pressed in an argument, but was
resolved to die hard, and at
length his antagonist, a virtuous
engineer of the Smiles ideal, lost
patience at the irregular warfare
of the arch deacon.
"Look here, sir" he exclaimed
desparingly, cd you acknowl-
edge that two and two make
four?"
Il am not prepared to make
an admission of that impor-
tance," replied Denison, "till I
have given the subject the ma
turist consideration. Sometimes
it is supposed that they make
twenty-two.'
