ArIALLIS8 DISASTERS.
Fl.ninE Banks swept with Death


BY recent cyclones around the New
FouudIand coast the French fleet on the
Grand Banks has suffered most severely.
About fifty vessels have already arrived at
st. Johns, and the spectacle they present
as they lie in the roads OF st. Pierre, only
half mOOred, is distressing in the extreme,
and at tho same time eloquent Of the
terrible ordeal through which they have
passed. They are almost completely
stripped of their gear. chains, anchors,
cables, dOries and travis. Their tattered
sails blow out in ribbons to the breeze. a
more cruelty dismantled looking fleet never
saddened the eye of 4 spectator, But the
story of the loss of human life remains
untold.
Jacquet Pines banker lost six of her
crew Hardy's lost six men; Vincent's
SIX Leoni Costes' four; Demalyillain's
two, aud there are only two or three ex
ceptions in the whole fleet where there are
not three, two or one of the crew gone to
their doom. Louis Jourdain's banker
fouudered and sank after the storm had
subsided, but the crew were 70: tunately
saved. Some thirty vessels are missing,
and the most awful apprehensions are en-
tertaned regarding them. The French
captains are unanimous in their account of
the storms Of Sunday aud Thursday, de-
picting them as the most fieroe and de-
structive within tho whole wide range of
their experience.
without warning.
The cyclone of Sunday gave not the
slightest intimatiOn of its disastrous ap-
proach. Tho morning was fiue, the wind
moderate and the sea tranquil down TO 8
o'clock. Most Of the ships had all their
dories outsetting or overhauling travis. A
little before 8 o'clock n small black, oval
shaped cloud rose swiftly before the verge
of the eastern horizon. Peals of distant
thunder were at first family heard, but
continued to increase apace In their Tever.
berating tones. Pale flashes OF fitful
lightning fitted across the sky, the water
changed to an inky blackness aud a vast
billowing swell hove rapidly home from
tho eastward and rose in towering and tu-
multuous masses above the shoal banks,
tossing the fragile fishing fleet like sea
gulls on the foam crests OF the wave.
In less than an hour the wind had
reached it's maximum fury and tho sea had
piled up to mountainous attitudes. AS the
storm broke over the water there were
several hundred dores away from the
fishing fleets of the United States, the
British North American and the French.
IL is heart chilling ht present to cOntem'
plato the probable consequences Of this
awful elemental visitation. When tho
record is complete it will too truly DO the
saddest and most widely destructive
within the memory of living men,
1t is reported that an ocean steamer
name as yet unknown, has been discovered
sunk on the Nova Scotia coasts, near ln'

vessel went down on Sunday night with
all on board. Further news IL expected
to morrow. The announcement of the
wreck has caused considerable excite.

RECEIVING peusiIn papers in plwn is
the latest scheme by which advantage is
taken Of the needs Of pensioners Tho
method Of its working is Tor the pensioner
u put the pension certificate in pawn in
consideration OF loan from the pawn
broker, ranging all the way from 2j to 80
per cent. of the quarterly amount due the
pcnsjorer. When these quarterly dis
bursements arc made, tho check for the
entire amount is turned over to the pawn
broker, who is thus enabled to cash his
enormous percentage, In one instance it
is alleged that in order to make sure Of his
money in the case, pawn broker actually
took the daughter Of one of his debtors in
pledge. Au effort is being made to stop
this pernicious practice by making all who
have pawned their certificates 20 through
the formality OF obtaining new papers
from the commissioners.

And would smcetcn all the heart:
