Two steamers Taking "a Rum Around

Quite an adventure befell the steamers
Passport and Orlando on Monday nlghl
last. Ii will be remembered that on thai
night there was q masquerade ball OF Smith,
vile, and large proportion OF the good
people Of that place was present. captain
Harper, OF the Passport, was there, OF
course, being one Of the managers. ne
left his boat moored rs usual at her wharf,
white the Orlando had her lines at'
tacbed TO the Passport, being on
the outside. At about II O'Clock tbey
were in their proper positions at thf
wharf. AT . o'clock ia the morning
when Captain Harper aud friend, faligueo
with the nights pleasures, and anxious 'o
secure little rest preparatory TO the duiie,
Of the coming day, started to go on Ooaro
they found both boats missing, having evil

his friend procured pilots SKIN ano
started out 10 hunt the missing steam

shoals between the main channel anC

pjueer and fireman OF the Passport
were in their bertbs asleep, and Cap

the boats were turned adrift. When Cap

shoals without much difficulty. and steamed
back TO Smilhville. The night was intensely
cold, and Captain Harper and his frient
were nearly frozen when they got up VIII
the missing steamers.
Ii seems that Captain Harper, as one o
The managers, refused to allow certain Oh

and suspicion rests upon them as being tn
ones who, in revenge for the imagined
slight, unfastened the lines OF the Passpor

HIS LIFE HIS WITNESS.
THE DEAD PRESIDENTS FAITH.
DR.. Errett on the Question of the
Absence of Religious MInIstratiOn
AT Peace with His Maker-He
Needed No IntercessIOn.

CINCINNATI, October 2.-Rev. Isaac Errett,
who delivered the funeral Grafton Of Presi-
dent Garfield at Cleveland, addressed a
large audience to-day at the Richmond
Street Christian Church upon the death of
the late President. He said much anxiety
had been expressed to hear something from
the deathbed OF President Garfield, some
last words that would resffirm the faith and
conviction of his life. Comment had been
made, too, upon the absence of religious
talk or ministrations beside his dying bed.
The speaker thought too much attention
was given to his deathbed declaration, for
better than any deathbed testimony is the
grand life of James A. Garfield. Through
the caution Of the Presidents physicians no
risk was permitted, and he died without any
formal farewell or testimony. But it is
known that at the beginning he asked to
know the worst, saying: "You know l am
not afraid Of death"
We know too that when the Lords day
came 1t would have been comforting to the
living to have had his pastor beside him at
the last. But we know that Jas. A. Garfield
was himself royal President of God by
virtue Of his amounting as a Christian, and
needed none save the one mediator between
God and man to intercede for him WITH the
Father.
