Propellor Wrecked,

Milwaukee, Jan. 31-The propeller St.
Albans, belonging to the Ludington Line
Northern Transportation company, was
wrecked 16 miles out in the lake. Pas
sengers who have been out in small boats
since yesterday are being picked by
tugs Twenty six of the crew and pas
sengers of the St. Albans are all saved.
All the boats are in but one, and that is
nearly ashore. The boat and cargo is q
total loss. One or two of the passengers
are from Ludington. Early risers dis
covered four boats far out on the lake in
binding snow storm, filled with peo-
pie, including some women. Rescuing
parties, mostly police, were formed
and at 9 o'clock one boat with
four men reached the breakwater
near the Northwestern depot and were
hauled ashore. They first gave the in
formation that the propeller st. Albans,
which left here yesterday morning to
cross the lake had discovered leak when
twelve miles out and in two hours had
been abandoned by the crew, consisting
of twenty persons and five passengers,
of whom four we're ladies. The leak was
on the bow on the port side, and seemed
to have been caused by almost constant
contact with the ice. Her forward car
20 was thrown overheard to tighten her,
but the water poured in and in half an
hour put out the fires and it was conclu-
ded to take to small boats at IL o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and have all landed
but one. which is still out, and all doubt
less will be saved.

How the President Will Drive out

Ever since the days OF "the father OF his
country" people, particularly the residents OF
the Capital, have taken lively interest In tho
style OF cquipage in which the various Presi.
dents OF tho United States were accustomed to
appear In public. President Arthur has not
been without n due share of interest of this
kind. Indeed, for various reasons, there has
been more than the usual curiosity TO know
whether his "turnout" would be shabby or
cloud" This curiosity may now be put at
rest. President Arthur's carriage and horses
are in Washington. Tho establishment is In
every way rich and handsome one; indeed,
1t is no exaggeration to say that It is the finest
which has ever appeared in the streets OF the
Capital. At the same time, however, all lis
appointments are subducd, modest, and I'm the
best OF taste. The carriage, from the New
York Broome.street Brewstors, Is n landeau OF
novel design, painted dark, mellow green,
relieved with enough picking out In rcd TO
show the outline without being conspicuous.
The trimmings are OF morocco and cloth, tho
cushions and doors being faced with heavy
lace The harness has been made In keeping
with the carriage, and IL heavily mounted with
plain silver. The dress-bankets are of heavy
dark green kersey, and the coachman's lap.
robe OF green English box-cloth These are all
Orndmented with the Presidents monogram
rho lap-robe for the inside of the carriage Is
Labrador otter, beautifully lined with dark
green, and having the monogram NC. A.. A.
worked in silk. Tho horses, two I'm number,
arc magnificent animals-mahogany bays
with black points, and without q white spot
anywhere. They arc 3 years old, 10 hands
high, have fine flowing names and tails, and
are half-brothers. They are matched almost u
n hair, were raised by thesame man, md have
always been driven together. Their heads and
necks are particularly fine; and though very
stylish and snowy, they are prompt, firm, and
resolute, yet very kind and gentle. They can
be driven on an easy rein, without check OF
martingale. They were the Presidents per
sonal selection, as was also tho carriage, and
reflect no little credit upon his Judgment as
horseman. The entire turnout" Is n mode
OF nmiot mngnlflcence and good taste.

The Midnight Train.

All the Year Round.
Across the dull and brooding night
A giant files with demon light,
And breath OF wreathing smoke;
Around him whirls the Keeling plain,
And with dash OF dim disdaln,
He cleaves the sundered rock.
In lonely swamps the low wind stirs
The belt OF black funereal iirs,
That murmur to the sky,
TIL, startled by his mad career,
They seem TO keep hush OF fear
As II god swept by.
Through many dark, wild heart of heath,
DER booming bridges, whore beneath
mighty river brawls;
BY ruins, remnants of tho past,
Their ivies trembling In the blast;
By singing waterfalls
The slumb'rer on his silent bod
Turns TO the light his lonely head,
Divested OF his dream;
Long leagues of gloom are hurried DER
Through tunnel sheaths, with iron roar,
And shrill night-ronding scream.
Past budding huts past flying farms,
High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
Arc graphing with the night
He toars along receding lands,
To whore the kingly city stands,
Wrapt In n robe OF light.
Here, round each wide and gushing gate,
crowd OF eager faces walt
And every smile Is known.
We thank thee, o, thou Titan train,
That In the city once again
