ANOTHER DISASTER AT SEA

The steamer Cimbria Of the Hamburg
American Line, came into collision with the
British steamer Sultan in the German Ocean
last Friday and quickly sank, carrying down
with her about three hundred people The
Cimbria had on board III persons Officers,
crew and passengers. So dense a fog pre-
vailed that the two vessels were almost in
contact before the lights OF either could be
perceived from the other, and then it was
too late to check their Roadway. The local
ity of the collision is marine highway,
usually thick with the crafts of Northern
Europe. The passengers were mostly emf
grants from East Prussia Among them
were six American Indians who had been on
exhibition in Berlin for some time.
AS the second officer was engaged in cut
ting the spars loose, SO that there should be
as much driftwood SIS possible for the peo.
pie to cling to when the inevitable founder.

feet. lie seized q spar, but as several Other

following statement THE weather was

ty. The engines of the Cimbria were kent
at full speed until l:30 o'clock. then at half
speed until O'Clock, after which they were
kept at slow speed. About 2:1O o'clock tho
whistle of another steamer was heard. anC

NEGRO SUFFRAGE and the evil purposes

NEGRO SUFFRAGE and the evil purposes
to which it has been put by demagogues
notably in Virginia. is gradually opening
the eyes of the North to the dangers of
universal suffrage when not guided by intel
ligcnce and virtue. Professor Winchell, in
the February number Of the North american
Reriem, talks very plainly about universal
suffrage, and says that by it the power of
the Government has been placed in the
hands of the ignorant and vcious-of men
who look to their own rather than to the
public interest; and asks his readers to look
around in their own cities and counties and
see if the best men therein gil the public
offices. The Professor predicts increased
corruption and final anarchy unless suffrage
be restricted by qualifications. AS that,
however, is now beyond the range of posi-
bility, people who have confidence in his
prophecies may as well prepare for the
worst. One thing is certain, and that is
that the Professor never expects to be a
candidate for popular favor.

A case of importance to stoop and
doorway loungers has been decided
in New York, involving the assumed
right of one Williamson, a real estate
agent, to frequently loiter on the stoop
and entrance way to his business
apartments on an upper floor, to the
annoyance and a detriment of a den
fist, an occupant of the same building.
The Count charged that such practice
was unlawful, as the party implicated
has no more right to thus obstruct or
detriment a stoop or passage way lead
ing to his own and the apartments of
others in the same building, than to
lock the outer door against the en-
trance and exit of other tenants and
those having business with them
The hiring of IN apartment does not
convey any right or privilege to the
stoop or entrance beyond that of pass
age way only, exceptto a party occupy
ing the entire premises. The accused
was convicted, and a civil suit is now
pending against the same defendant
Tor damages hitherto suffered by rea-
son of the trespass alluded to-.

Filtration.

Can there be such a thing as inno-
cent Irritation Is not Irritation itself
essentially wanton and prone to evil ?
Where is the young woman who can
Unfortunately pick up a beau on the
public highway without degrading
herself and proclaiming a reckless
disregard for the rules ofsociety, which
is the first step to ruin? Chastity is
the jewel in a woman's character
which is essential to all other female
virtues. and she can only retain it by
chastity of action and thought. The
moment she advertises to the public
that her acquaintance is public prop
erty she becomes a practical free lover.
The least diversion from the strict
path of propriety and decorum is dam
gerous. People do not generally go
to crime by leaps they go gradually
and by imperceptible, and to them,
harmless Emergencies. Young ladies
should remember that no worthy
young man will encourage Irritation,
and even the unworthy have no re-
spect for the foolish young woman
who recklessly throws herself away.

What a Western Editor Says.

Below we give extract from a letter writ
ten by Chas. F.. Hackett for his paper the
Parker, Dakota, Ney Era, while he was
on a visit at the home of his mother in
Woodstown:
r 4 The old school-house, which
used to stand near, Is also gone The boys
and girls who used to be our schoolmates
there-they are scattered. Some are sleep
ing in the neighboring cemeteries, while
others are in the cities seeking a livelihood
and others mingllng In other parts of the
world engaged in the pursuit of wealth.
A few things are noticeable to a native
of this country, after being absent a few
years. In the first place the Irish immi-
grant is acquiring a strong foothold to the
Turning lands, and some have SAID that the
Irish will soon own the land and the Amer
leans the pianos. We do not expect this
o be the case altogether, but it is drifting
that way some. The Irish immigrants, as
a class, work hard, save hard, and eat as
title of saleable produce as possible. The
Americans are more for show and less saw
;ng. and in scores OF cases their substances
are wasting away. The colored people
seem to make but little progress, not one
in a thousand caring to provide tor the
morrow. True, many of the younger ones
are acquiring some education; but they are
very impracticable, and their opportunities
do them but little good. Many OF the
colored men have taken to selling their
votes, and this political quantity cannot
be calculated to a certainty as it used to
be.
Scores Of farmers are %grubbing theif
lives cut clearing up new ground. They
would not If they could see the govern
ment land in Dakota, or the cheap decided
land, all ready for the pillow, and sure to
make rich returns. The air is heavier,
less pure, and everything is more crowded
