SAVED fKoM a SINKING SHIP.
The crew OF an italian Vessel snatched
From Death

From Death.
PHILADELPHIA, February 23.-Captain
W. N. Smith, Of the English steamship
James Turpic, which arrived at this port
yesterday, brings thenews of the loss oithe
Italian ship Germania, off Leghorn, in mid.
ocean, and gallant rescue Of her officers
and crew. The Turpic left Porman, Spain,
on the I'd instant, with 1000 tons Of iron
ore, and encountered strong gales during
the entire passage. On her trip to Porman
to load for this port the steamship fell in
with the Italian ship flying flags OF dis.
tress and evidently about to sink. The
crew OF the unfortunate vessel had been
vainly looking for succor Tor several days
When sighted by the Turpic the Germsnia
was at the mercy OF the wind and wayes.
The sea was running very high and 1t
was q serious problem to solve as to
the safest method for rescuing the i'm.
perilled sailors. The Italian ship had
no lifeboat, and It was with great diff.
Guilty that Captain Smith launched one
from his vessel. This s.6nally accom-.
plished and the men were taken of the sink.
ing ship by means Of line and then drawn
through the water toward the steamships
lifeboat. Another line was lowered from
the Turpic, 10 which buoys were attached,
and they were safely landed on the steamer,
where they were kindly taken care Of. In
two hours after the rescue the Germania
was lost sight OF, having, ii is supposed,
foundered. Her crew and officers were
landed at Carthagena and left in charge 0!
the Italian Consul. Captain Smith and
his gallant crew are to be rewarded by the
Italian Government.

Mr. Davis voting no. Mr.. stifel took the

was satisfactory, bat when he declared that
the speaker had invited all hands out 10 take

Stiiel had said that he had seen many fools,
but never such an aggregation OF fools as in
this House, and OF all the fools here con-
gregated, the gentleman from Berkeley was
the biggest Another gentleman insisted
that the true meaning was that the gentle

wAsulsoroN, February 2S.-The mem
bers OF the Ohio delegation are disposed to
regard the nomination Of Judge L. D.
Thoman, on the Civil Service Commission,
as huge joke perpetrated by the Demo
cratic Senator from that State. A promi-
nent member Of the delegation called upon
the President 10 ask by what manner OF
means or influence Judge Thoman's name
was decided upon as one OF the commiss-
toner's. The President replied that the
appointment was made upon the recon-
mendation Of Senator Pendleton, whom he
held responsible for the selection. The
visitor informed the President that he
might hold on TO Pendleton, but the coun-
try would hold the President responsible
for the choice he had made.

What an influence one true woman can
exert is plainly realized when we contrast
the present with the past. But so long as
evils exist and are continually being made
prominent in high places, just so long will
there be women and men both, good and
trne, coming 10 the front to battle against
the wrong.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-During the
discussion on the naval bill in the Senate
Mr.. Anthony offered an amendment ap-
propriating s2OO, 900 to enable the Secretary
OF the Navy to build IN experimental gun
boat. Nr. MCPHERSON discussing the
amendment alluded to the presence Of the
Secretary OF the Navy in the Senate cham
ber the other day, in conversation with Mr..
Anthony, and went on to make an attack
on the Secretary as one who was "at home
in the lobby" He had great respect for
the President, who had 80 far given the
country an administration as worthy Of ap.
proval as any proceeding one, hut
he feared, when this appropriation bill
should have become law, as 1t certainly
would become, the Secretary Of the Navy
had it so ordered that even the President
would become convinced that mistakes
were possible. The President had headed
the list OF his advisors with character and
ability, the purest and best, but even be.
fore reaching the end Of the list
he had descended by one gigantic stroke
to the lobby with all that that implied.
Mr.. Anthony said he had offered the
amendment by the instruction Of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, and not at the re-.
quest Of the Secretary OF the Navy. The
Secretary had right to be on the floor OF
the Senate under the rules, and his pre-.
sence called for no such comment as that
made by Mr.. MCPHERSON.
Mr.. Rollins said he had heard Mr.. Nc
Pherson's remarks with great surprise.
That Senator's criticism upon the Secretary
was unjust and upgenerous in the extreme,
and ne (Rollins) hoped it would not be re-
peated.
Mr. Hale raised the point Of order that
the amendment proposed was new legisla.
ton, and the Chair sustained the point Of
order and ruled out the amendment

CINCINNATI, February 2S-Among the
prisoners at the central police station
to-day was John Kolischoler, charged with
lettering, whose varied fortunes form an
interesting story. He was born in Groe.
beck, Holland, where his father was a
Judge, and received as good an education
as the country afforded, learning to
speak four languages. He was appoint.
ed q burgomeister by the King, an
Office which he held for eight years until
1869. Then he came to America He went
direct to Chicago and started In business as
an importer OF Holland goods. Business
was prospering, but the great fire Of 1871
came along burning him out, and leaving
him with no means to start anew. He
came to Cincinnati and engaged in a SINH
lar venture, but from want Of capital he
failed. Since that time he has turned his
hand to various things, teaching languages,
clerk in hotel, running restaurant and
even doing housework. These occupations
he considered degrading.

GATH relates an interesting conversation
he had with Mr.. Alexander Delmar, who
edited the old National fntelii0eneer during
part Of the johnson administration.
People Whose memories go back to 1858
have not forgotten the queer freak OF the
New York World. Seymour and Blair were
not running brilliantly, and without warn.
Ing the World declared that there was o
good opening for a new ticket. The DEM
0ctats couldn't imagine what had struck
them. The President was in q state Of
mind, and Mr.. Delmar says the President
posted him of to New York to learn
what It all meant. Manton Marble,
then editor Of the World, would
give no satisfaction. Agustus schell
knew nothing about 1t, but was free to say
that It was the act Of Q traitor In Tilden's
presence schell signed paper setting
forth his ignorance Of the business. Tilden
refused to sign 1t then, but said he would
take 1t to Belmont, Chairman Of the
National Committee, for his signature,
The impression left on Mr.. Delmars mind
was that Tilden was at the bottom Of .
scheme to ruin Seymour, that he would
take the paper away, and 1t would never
10 seen SSain. The paper did not come
back. 1t may be that Mr.. Tilden looked
sheepish because he couldn't help it, and
failed to bring the paper back or forward It

can tell. But that great man in that earlier
day was quite shrewd enongh to concoct

The Wrong Kind. Who Spy About and
Insuit Clerks and Visitors.


WASHINGTON, D. G., February 2s.-The
Treasury Department rules and manner Of
their enforcement, Of which so much has
been said, continue to give offense not only
to employees, but to visitors. Not long ago
one OF the Justices OF the Supreme Court
was denied admission after 2 Pm, notwith-
ing the fact that he was there on public busi-
ness. Another case is sreported in which q
member OF Congress figures, and it must
have made him believe that he had strayed
by mistake into an asylum or penitentiary.
The watchmen are ordered to report all
clerks seen conversing in the halls, and
claim that they are kept up to their duty
by fear OF "spotters," who will report them
in case they fail to report every case OF in
lringement.
A day or two ago chief clerk Of one Of
the bureaus OF the department found 1t
necessary TO call upon like officer OF
another bureau upon official business. He
met him, however, in the hall, and while
transacting the business the two were
joined by member Of Congress, who
made some inquiries. The trio were spied
by wstcbman, who, apioaching, said:
"Gentlemen, it is against the rules to
converse in the halls"
"But," said one Of the clerks, "this is q
member Of CoDgress, who desires some in

"He should 20 to the chief clerk Of the
bureau, then, for his information" was the
response.
