A SAILORS ADVENTURES.
-Four Remarkable Escapes from Death Made
by a Jersey Jack Tar.

by Jersey Jack Tar.
Philadelphia Record.
There returned to Steelmanville Atlantic
sailor named Samuel Stetzer, who has passed
through a number of remarkable adventures
during the past two years. In the summer
of 1880 he was steward of the schooner Sid
ney c, Tyler which was wrecked in storm
off Cape Hatteras. Stetzer, with several
Others escaped in a yawl-boat, and was picked
up by a passing vessel and carried to a for
eign port. Not until the following winter
did he get back to Great Egg Harbor Inlet,
the point from which he first shipped
Later, he went to sea in the schooner Ed
wards, which foundered on Nantucket
Shoals The crew took to the rigging,
where they remained for nearly twenty four
hours, the sea breaking over them all the
while before being rescued by the life-saving
crew. Stetzers hands, feet and ears were
badly frozen. He also lost all his clothing
and money. Last winter he shipped on the
brig E. H Fisk, bound from New York to
the West Indies. While at Matanzas he was
stricken with yellow fever. For many weeks
he was at the point of death, but eventually
recovered. Upon arriving at this city he at
tempted to carry his trunk ashore, when his
foot slipped and he fell from the gang plank,
between the vessel and the wharf. In falling
he struck his head on log, which stunned
him. He would have drowned had not
prompt assistance been rendered by his ship
mates When rescued he found that his
purse, which contained quite sum of money
for the voyage had fallen into thewater

Inexcusab,e Crimes for Ireland.

Terre Haute EXpreas.
OF late, however, crimes, inexcusable from
any treatment Ireland has received, and that
IRE calculated to lose for the people coun-
Eenanoing them all sympathy and respect
that they might otherwise receive have been
committed They are not denounced by
those leaders OF the Irish cause who have
been looked to as the ones best fitted to res
cue their country, but on the contrary are
condoned in a half hearted manner. The
assassin is a creature not to be commise-
rated he is to be treated as one would rep
tile. No talk like that of Mr.. Sheridan about
Ireland being at war with England will
justify these acts, for if it is to be war public
sentiment demands that it be civilized war
fare.

Why Dukes verdicts Are Possible.
Ricbmond Independent.

As our American society is organized, a
cruel, designing man has every advantage
and should he accomplish his purpose an at
tempt at legal redress is worse than silently
carrying your painful burden, compared to
which there are few men but would prefer
the death of their loved one even at the ex-
pense of taking her life themselves. This is
convict for killing a libertine, and this is
why every man feels a sting of indignation
and regret that Dukes, the Uniontown de-
mon, was turned out by the jury last Thurs
day, free to ruin other homes and kill other
men for loving their daughters

The Democracy Entirely Responsible

Michigan City Enterprise.
The Democrats of the Legislature were
largely in the majority and could pass or
defeat any bill they wanted to. Even the
Governors veto was no hindrance to them,
as was shown by the passage of the metro
politan police bill, one of the most infamous
partisan measures ever considered by a leg
aslative body. The people of the State un-
derstand very we'll where to locate the mis-
doings of the late Legislature, and the Dis
patch will find it has an elephant on its
hands if it attempts to shift the responsible
ity of The many mistakes made from where
1t rightfully belongs.

No Hope for Ireland in Secret Crime

Columbus Republican.
All friends of humanity feel for Ireland in
her pitiable condition, but while the means
of relief are placed in the hands of men who
indorse, or, at least. make no effort to pre-
vent, murder, arson and all manner of
crimes, in the name of liberty, they will
nave little hope that it will be better.

Democracy Wants leadership.


One of the wants of the Democratic party,
according to some OF its organs, is new
leadership. The free-traders have been argu-
ing for some time that all that party needed
was principle. AS a party cannot exist
without leaders and principles the Democ-
racy confesscs that it is not an organization,
and in fact is only rabble kept together by
the hope of public plumber. II is a signif-
cant indication, however, that the Demo-
cratic papers are courageously showing up
the defects in the party, and thus taking the
first step toward better order of things

Heroism and Cruelty.

 The mos, touching instance of hero of cruelty, the truth Of which IS vouahed for by the most respectable authority, occurred during the Columbia struggle for independence.
 The Spanish General Morillo, the most blood-,hlrs,y and treacherous tool of the Spanish king. was created Count of Car thagenia and Marquis de Ia paena. for services which rather entitled him to be butcher or hangman. While scatca m his tent one day, he saw young Do, before him drowned in tears. The ch,et demanded of hun for what purpose he was there.
 The child replied that he had come to beg the life ot his father, then prisoner in Morillo's camp.
 "What can you do to save your faith CT F' asked the gensral.
 II can do but littie. but what can shall be done"
 Morlllo seized the little fellows ear. and said
 Would you suffer your ear to be taken of to procure your fathers life 7:
 Il certainly would" was the undaunted reply.
 A soldier was accordingly called. and ordered 10 cut of the ear with ssngle stroke of the knlfc. The boy wep,. but did no, resis, while the barbarous order vas eAec uted.
