Tbscber The same tugs also had in tow
the schooner Pride Of the East, the aban-
donmeut OF which vessel was previously
reDorted. She was found near the shore,
sbout eight miles north Of Georgetown, and
lowed 10 Charleston from thai place. The
Pride Of the East was detained at quaran-
tine, but the Nettie LsngdOn was allowed
to 90 up 10 the city and anchor OF the
WharVes. Both OF the vessels, says the
Nelcs and COsIrisT, are fOrcible instances OF
the terrOrs OF the late storm, the Nettle
Langdon having only part Of the ioremast
standing. while the Pride Of the East hardly
makes any show above the water line. The
cargo Of the latter vessel, which was either
cedar or lOgWOOd, was all lost.

heavy gale, which increased on the 9th to
a hurricane. At 4 p. N. was struck oy
terrific squat, which bore the schooner on
her beam ends, masts in the water, all hands
compelled 70 climb on the side. At this
time Que seaman was lost overheard; then
had to cut away the mizzen lsnyards, which
carried away the spars and deck load.
About one hour later made the Frying Fan
breakers ahead. The heavy sea was then
making complete break over her, during
which another seaman was lost. Sunday,
about a. N, went ashore on the Cape Ro-
main shoals. They were compelled to re-
main on board without food or water all OF
Sunday and Monday until Tuesday noon,
when the SEES having sbsted small boat
was sent of from the lighthouse to the
assistance Of the crew. Left the lighthouse

Good Advice from a Leading Med

Good Advice from a Leading Medf-
cal Professor.
The learned doctor says: "Keep some
kind Of a tonic medicine always in the
house, and II anyone feels unwell, make
free use Of it. But first be sure that it is
both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust In alcoholic preparations; their use
will lead to intemperance; neither be partial
to any remedy that produces a severe cathar-
tic effect, for prostration of the nervous
system and digestive organs is sure to fol-
low. The mildest and best medicine ever
invented for strengthening every part of
the body and restoring impaired or lost or
ganic functions to their normal condition,
and one which is having an unparalleled
and rapidly increasing sale In the Eastern
States, is Browns Iron Bitters. Any drug
gist will procure IL for you If you request
him to do so, especially when he finds you
cannot be persuaded 10 take some substi-
tute. 1t does not contain alcohol, and is
the only preparation of Iron that cures
headache and does not blacken the teeth
1t is sure reviver, true strengthened, and
the very best medicine ever invented for
permanently strengthening the pulmonary,
urinary and digestive organs, and prevent
ing consumption, kidney diseases and
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these dis
eases when all other remedies have failed,
for it is truly natures best assistant."-

SQUARE GAMBLING.
A Singular Petition Circulating In
ST. Louis.
st. louis Republican.

st. Louis Republican.
The town is, It appears, dreadfully i'm
moral, for the latest thing brought to light
Is q petition asking the Board Of Police
Commissioners to stop enforcing the
gambling law. 1t is claimed that numerous
prominent business men have signed this
petition, and that the gamblers expect to
show that the community is not in favor Of
suppressing square gambling. The petition
is as follows:
To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF POLICE
COMMISSIONERS, ST. LOUIS, Move, the
undersigned cit Zens of st. Louis, identified
with its industrial and commercial interests,
and having proper regard for its social and
moral condition, cogniZaEt of the status OF
gambling in the city and familiar with the
statutes in relation thereto; recognizing the
fact that gambling as a necessary evil will
continue TO exist in the future as In the past
under some conditions, and being opposed
to It In its obnoxious, unfair and disreputa-
BILE features, and in this regard in favor
of a strong and vigorous law for its
suppression, hereby express ourselves
as not In opposition to square gambling
operated under proper auspices as 1t has
been to our knowledge by certain citizens
Of good character and reputation who
are interested In the prosperity and welfare
of the city. We also give expression to the
fact that we regard the present law as i'm
polite and unjust, inasmuch as it does not
make a discrimination in the different
phases of gambling, but subjects the par
Elephants in and operators Of all games to
the same conditions and penalties. We be-
lieve further that the interests of the com
munity would be best subserved if gambling
was confined to the establishments at which
it has hitherto been carried on and operated
without fraud, and msnifestly without dis
credit to the parties engaged in it. We are
also of the opinion that the public press
that has condemned gambling should be
informed intelligentlY as to the methods and
means employed therein, and should be
acquainted with the fact that the persecu-
ton and prescription of any particular In
dividual engaged in gambling does not re-
feet the sentiments Of the community In
relation to the same nor subserve the inter
est of the public.

Last Saturday morning Tribune and Sun
reporter happened to be standing in the
Bank OF Madison, in this city, when Mr..
Felix D. Lester came into the bank with a
very large bundle of greenbacks to make a
deposit. Inquiry developed the fact that
Mr.. Lester had drawn one-half the capt.
tai prize in the August drawing In
the Louisiana State Lottery, amount

time been working in the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad shops in this city as a day laborer.
He remarked one day shortly before the
drawing that he was poor and could not
make much at his work, and he believed he
would buy a lottery ticket. He gave one
dollar to Mr.. Eugene Brooks, of this city, TO
purchase him a ticket in the August draw
ing of the Louisiana State Lottery, ard
went back to his work, whence he was sum-
mOned to receive the news Of his good for
tune. He at once forwarded the ticket TO
NJ. A. DAuphin, New Orleans; received the
money promptly by express, and on Satur-
day morning last deposited One-half in the
First National Bank, and the other half in
the Bank Of Madison, in this city. He gave
Mr.. Brooks 500 of the money. Mr.. Lester
lives on farm near the city, and is about
% years of age. He takes his good fortune
very quietly. -JdcksOn (Tenr.) Tribune and

The Cruise Of the "AiIanthus.n

Says the Charleston Neaos and Courier of
Monday: "The United States buoy tender
Ailanthus, Captain Brown, returned on
Saturday from a cruise as far as Savannah,
having during the trip secured two light
ships and recovered and replaced thirty six
buoys. During the gale the Ailanthus was
lying in st. GATHERINGS Sound, and, al
though protected from the greatest fury OF
the blast by her position, being behind
projecting point and against a steep bank,
where she was held as against a wharf, was
so buffetted by the waves that, to use the
Captains own words, they were at times
thrown off their legs. Captain Brown, how
ever, not only brought his vessel safely out
of the gale, but has accomplished in com
paratively short time the important work
above mentioned

Mention has several times been made Of
the reported discovery OF dead bodies flat-
ing In the river near the shore, below and in
the vicinity Of Fort Jackson. The matter
having been brought to the attention Of the
Mayor, he yesterday addressed a letter TO
the Board Of County Commissioners, refer
ing to these reports and stating that as the
points where these bodies are said to be ex-
posed are beyond the jurisdictiOnal limits
Of the city It was important that the County
Commissioners, 10 the interest Of public
health, should take official action, and ask
ing that their prompt attention be given to
the subject. Il cannot be denied that it is
very important these bodies be secured and
inferred as soon as possible.
