English ship. She proved to be the Falls
of Alton, new iron ship, loaded with
$500 tons of railway sleepers. $50 tons of
pig iron, $50 tons of smithy coal, and
200 tons OF coke-a nice little haul for
Monsieur, as the salvage afterward proved.
It was charged against the captain
that he endeavored to sink the ship by
cutting the suction pipe and ea.cock in
the after-peak; but this he denied, and
whether it was proved or not and what
became of the case l cannot fecollect.
Enconntering and bringing to port q few
such derelicts as the Falls of Alton would
soon make mans fortune, and if they
were numerous we might hear of public
companies being formed for the salving
of such abandoned craft, with under
writer's for chairmen. But they are not
numerous and this age OF iron makes
them rarer every Gay. Even when a
vessel that looks worth preserving is
met life is often jeopardized in sailing
her; or il she is to be towed, then, after
a deal of man@uvring and many hours
of detention and the carrying away of
hawsers, the derelict has frequently to
be dropped, with sea blessing on her
head and hearty regret on the shippers
part that he ever sighted her. The
struggle is sometimes q desperate
one. The abandoned craft, like
an Irishman's pig, refuses to
90 ahead. She barely answers her
helm. The tow rope parts in gale of
wind, the wreck drives away to leeward
and is lost in the thickness, and the lit
tie company of men who have been put
aboard of her find themselves pretty
much in the same dangerous situation
the vessels first crew .occudied before
they were succored. If ever money is
meritoriously earned it is by men who
receive rewards for bringing wrecked
vessel to port.-London telegraph.

The Society Of Chiidrrm

Many good men have delighted in
passing their hours of relaxation in the
company of children. This betokens a
pure and loving nature. Richter says
the man is to be Stunned who does not
love he society of children. Henry Nv
was passionately fond of them. and de-
lighted in their gambols and caprices.
One day, when crawling around the
room on his hands and knees with the
Dauphin on his back and the other chill
dren about him urging the king to gallop
in imitation of q horse, an ambassador
suddenly entered and surprised the
royal party in the midst of their fun.
Henry, without rising to his feet, asked:
Have you children, M. Ambassador"
"Yes, SIRE"
"In that case I proceed with the
SPORT" remarked the king.
Napoleon used to take the infant king
of Rome in his arms, and, standing in
front of a mirror with him, there make
the oldest grlmaces in the glass. At
breakfast he would take the child upon
his knee, dip his fingers in the sauce,
and daub his face with it.
The child's governess scolded. the
emperor laughed, snd the child, almost
always pleased, appeared to delight in
the rough caresses OF his father. Those
who, on such occasions, had favor to
solicit from the emperor were aim ost
always sure OF being favorably received.
Cato, the censor. no matter howso'
ever urgent the business of the republic,
would never leave his home without
first having seen his wife wash and dress
the baby.
Cicero. after having put the finishing
hand to his orations, called in the chill
dren and had Joyous romp with them.
A great diversion of the Emperor Au-
gustus was to play at games with little
children, who we're brought from all
parts for this purpose. Moorish and
Syrian children being his favorites.
There was one little fellow OF the name
of Nucius, who stood only two feet
high, and weighed only seventeen
pounds, but who nevertheless had q pro-
digious voice. He was an especial f.
vorite.
Rousseau said that nothing gave him
greater pleasure than to see little chill
dren making fun and playing together.
II have always" said he, stopped
in the streets to watch their
frolics and sports with an interest which
I see no other person take in them"
Yet-inconceivable Inconsistency! !
Rousseau sent his own children to a
founding hospital, and never owned
them bow Bells

Derelicts ct Sea.

Derelicts always appear to me % q
kind of ocean beggsrs. They hove about
the path of well-to-do ships, and exhibit.
ing their mutilated stumps and broken
sides, cringe and curtsey for help as the
vessels 60 by. They are, it must be adj
mitted, as Q rule, miserably poor-in
rags and without o 'brass farden" in
their pockets. The sea despoils them
first; but if Neptune overlooks anything
OF worth it is pretty sure to be carried
away by one or the other OF the vessels
which may bear down TO have a look at
the wreck and overhaul her. Found q
good quarter floating alongside;
got it aboard and proceeded" Or,
''nothing to be found on deck or below
looked as if some passing vessel had
helped herself to all there was to be
got" Such statements are sometimes
to be found in logwoods. Here is one
that I at this moment light on: 1.-THE
German bark Europea reports, March
Doth, sighted an unknown bark; all sails
set, ani on fire aft; found a thirty-foot
life-bo adrift, which was taken aboard
in which were some tobacco, provisions
aud q stone butter-pot."
A more romantic derelict was the
American brig Celeste, the story of which
/ read with interest in an American
paper few days ago. She was found in
the Mediterranean and boarded. All sail
was ON her, but not a living creature was
to be seen. There was Q fire burning in
the galley; dinner was set out untasted
and not yet cold; there was some child's
toys IN the cabin, land q piece Of a
womans dress was still under the needle
OF the sewing machine" What had be-
come OF the people? Had they committed
suicide by jumping overheard? II so,

WHAT VIRGINIA WANTS.

Virginia wants three-quarterS Of a
million from the National Govern
ment, in obedience to an act of Con-
gress in 1886 ordering division of the
surplus funds in the Treasury among the
States; but we are very sure Virginia
will take t out in wanting. In some
degree it can claim that it is demanding
the fulfilment of promise which
has become lawful debt, but then Vir-
ginia, under the leadership of MALONE,
has very recently taught us new way
topay old debts, and it viii find that
this little matter of three-quarters of
million due on account Of the act of 1886
has gone into the category ofreadjusted
obligations. That much reputation
our Virginia friends will find an over
whelming majority of our people re-
solved upon.

The report of the United States Consul
at Smyrna confirms the opinion which had
been advanced by some British physicians
that the plague now raging in Egypt is not
cholera, but q malignant local distemper
cauaed by general uncleaniiness. The
authority is more dipinterested than any
which comes from British sources, and
may, therefore, meet with more general
acceptance. II the deduction is true
that the epidemic will not spread as cholera
does, it will be great relief to the world
at large. The fearful ravages, which have
by this time swept off nearly 10000 lives
in Egypt, do not, in all respects, corrooo-
rate the conclusions of the United States
Consul; although many OF the details OF
The disease, together with its rapid cessa-
ton at the points where it first started,
warrant the hope that it will prove not to
be the true Asiatic cholera, but a mere or
binary plague, which malignant as it IL,
can be localized and prevented from spread
ing to the rest Of the world.
II this should prove TO be so, the warning
which it mas given will not be lost. No
sanitary precautions that may have been
AIKEN, in expectation of visitation from
cholera, will have been thrown away. Even
now it is hardly. time for relaxing any
efforts to improve the health of our cities.
Whether We have cholera or not, this year
or next, all sanitary measures will prove
highly beneficial, and should be actively

rHEnrEYON WOOL.

The Quarterly Bulletin Of the Ma
tional Association of Wool Manufac-
turers recently issued contains two
lengthy arguments or apologetic pleas
by two Of the late tariff commissioners,
Mr.. HAYES, of Massachusetts, andMr.
GARLAND, Of Illinois, the object Of
which are to consulate the hostility Of
the woOlgrOwers at their course in re-
ducing by three cents pound the duty
on wool. Their argument is:
|. That our domestic production, re-
latively to the importation, is so large
that the price of wool cannot be any
longer materially aided or affected bya
duty on its importation; and
>. That the present duty is as COM
Iletely and manifestly prohibitory as it
would be if were three cents pound
higher.
In brief such large quantity of wool
is produced that duties can't protect it,
and it is protected so entirely that i'm
portation cannot lower its price. THE
REGISTER cannot follow the processes
by which the above conclusions are
reached. The entire argument on the
part of the commissioners is mainly Of
value as showing that they keeuly APP
preciate the extent of disfavor with
which their work is regarded.

WADE HAMPTON speaks not only for
himself and the Democracy of SDuth
Carolina but for the Democracy OF the
whole Union in saying, as he does IN
an interview: mo man in the South
that know of is in favor of an assault
upon the tariff question that will rob
any American industry Of such protec-

TONS own idea is that "there should be

is careful to add that this should be
done while keeping in view the busi-
ness interests of the country and the
necessities of such industries as need
protection to enable them to reach q

A GREAT CHANGE.

Nothing could illustrate more forcibly
the strange changes which time brings
about than the great Northern Pacific
excursion whieh is now collecting its
members for the start. Capitalists from
Holland, dignitaries from Prussia, peers
from England, journalists from France
are here or coming hither to meet with
Preside nts and ex Presidents and states
men and soldiers and railroad kings in
an informal celebration of the compile
ton Of the Northern Pacific. The road
has made the fortune Of every one who
has touched it in the last five years, and
yet less than ten years ago it was the
ill-fated Northern Pacific which was
yxeerated as the cause Of our great
manic. That was the enterprise Of
which the securities led in the tumble,
rnd the break in Northern Pacific was
due 10 an unfavorable report from the
very interests, English, Dutch, German
and French, which are now represent
cd in the celebration.
