THE CIMRRIA.n

HAMBURG, Jan. 24.-The incidents on
board the ''Cimbria, z" of the Indian who
had to be disarmed of the tomahawk, of
the surgeon who leaped into the sea, and
of the scenes among the passengers, were
related by one Wegert, a cabin passenger,
who on the advise of the chief officer,
climbed into the rigging Those in the
rigging saw boat lowered from the
steamer Sultan" probably to repair her
own manage.
Four tugs returned from fruitless search
for the passengers Of the ''Cimbria."

Cloths it would seem, are the making
of soldier, II we may judge from the en-
thusiasm which the New York Commercial
Advertiser expresses for the new toggery
of the American guardsman; There was
time when the brlliance of European
military display overshsdowed anything
which could be seen in SOBER. black-coat-
ed America. Young ladies read with q
sigh of dashing huzzars. all gold and gilt

lion, of splendid artilierymen IN red and

army who did appear at balls and routs
were very neat but plain, and militiamen
did not study the proper military effect.
All this is changed. Our regulars wear
a uniform which has no equal in Europe
for grace and elegance, and our militia
would put to shame the brilliant Murat,
and reduce Beau Brummel to state of
green and yellow melancholy"

THE LANDING OF IMMIGRANTS.
What Captain Moore, Who Has Been
Landing agent for Many Years
Knows About 1t.
New FORK World .

A gong sounds in Castle Garden, gates
and doors are opened, two ropes are
stretched along the dock so as to make a
narrow walk to the doors, a huge barge
swings into position along side the bulk
head, plank is thrown out, and 900 or
300 immigrants land for the first time on
the free soil of America. experimenting
all these operations stands Capt. John E.
Moore, the landing agent. His is the
first face that greets the new corners, and
it is genial, hearty one. Captain Moore
has the contract for transporting all the
immigrants from the steamer Castle Gar
den, and such of them as proceed West on
the New York Central and Pennsylvania
railroads, from the Garden to the depots
of those roads. To a World reporter
Yesterday who asked for an account Of his
experiences in his novel position. Captain
Moore said he had landed 2, $50, 500 immi-
grants at Castle Garden since and includ-
ing the year 1879. In that year he landed
292, 844; in 1873, 268, 272; in 1874, 149,
1852; 1876, 80, 903; in 1876, &c, 035; in 1877.

1882, 155, 405. He marvels how these vast
numbers of persons have been landed so
easily and safely. Yet is has been done.
That it is so is the result of perfect sys-

CATTLE THIEVES.

For courage and skill in looting cattle
no race of scoundrels can make show
with the Marris and other jewellers on the
frontier of Sindh. The ingenuity of these
people is almost uncanny. They have u
knowledge of the bovine character well
worth scientific attention, and they use it
n conjunction with study of human
frailities which is equally minute The
simplest of their processes is 10 cut
through the stable wall-cattle are always
stabbed in a country so perilous for them
and lead out the animalss. Two or three
boys are intrusted with a business of this
kind, and they are expected to succeed,
though it be needful TO make the oxen
step over watchers body. At one of
our posts The commissariat cattle were
lodged In walled enclosure which con-
tanned several masses of ruin. Every
morning the tale of beasts was short. In
vain the distracted 60 master applied for
more sentries and more frequent rounds.
At length, by mere accident, tire secret of
the nightly disappearance came out.
Thieves had tunnelled under the wall,
shielding either exit behind ruins, such
an engineering work is familiar TO people
who conduct water underground from the
spring to the place where it is wsnted.
But to induce half-wild cattle to descend

suspicious sound requires either arts un-
holy or such influence as one would like
to observe its action. ---AA the Yedr Restssd

Editorial Reform,

The work of going into newspaper
Office and whipping the editor is yearly
becoming more dangerous. A reform
in this matter has been slow, travelling
with s.bunioned'' feet over rough
road, but il has nc last arrived. and now
editors are expected to take care of
themselves. Until recently whipping
newspaper man was strictly constitu-
| tional. If a man made bad horse
/ trade and saw no other means of re-
venge. he would seek the nearest news
paper office and ''whale'' the editor for
not keeping him posted in regard to the
| other mans horse. 1t made no differ
enee whether or not he was a subscrib-
er, for it was the editors duty to see
| that he received an occasional copy of
the paper anyway Reform is attacking
the newspaper business from the ri ght
to the left wing. Editors who were
formerly expected to get drunk three
times week and entertain lofty con-
Tempt for clean shirts, now dispense
with one drunk and suffer an OCCASION
al change of raiment. The old time edi-
tor was man of classic education and
breath that needed sailing. If he did
not dress in an eccentric manner and
wear battered hat he was not gen
Jus. He did not know the value of
1aOu0y, anu DOdSteu THAT II was if1lpOS-
sible for for him to carry any change in
his pocket. His days work consisted of
writing one or two erratic articles and
then going out with party ofpoliticians.
If he visited the office again during the
night, he had to be assisted up the steps.
His object in calling again was not to
do any work but to read an article to
political friend. The editor of to-day is
business man. He goes to work sys-
tematically. He tries to dress like a
human being and does not feel insulted
if you refer to him as a man. He does
not boast of any particular college train
ing, and he does not glory in classic de-
bauch. He knows the tread of the bill
collector, sound which is indeed more
pleasant than the shuttle of the politi-
clan. 1t was an easy matter to whip the
old timer. but the new man defends
himself. This is warning to certain
man who has been hanging around this
Office with malicious 1inger. 1t is to be
hoped that it is plain enough to be read
even by him that runs and that the rum
ming will be done in an opposite direc-
tion.-ArE. TraveLer.

Our White-Pine Supply.

The announcement made by authori-
ty of q Government bureau. that the
white-pine forests of the United States
would at the present rate of consumption
furnish less than twelve years supply of
that indispensable timber, although
copied into most of the papers. has not
received the general attention which it
deserves. and probably will not until
the advancing cost of pine lumber
brings the lesson forcibly home to the
public mind. This advance has, how
ever. already begun, the price of land
in the great timber-producing States
having doubled within few weeks, and
the question of the employment of some
other material for the coarser uses of
building is earnestly discussed among
architects and contractors. On some
accounts the substitution of hard wood
for pine IN the finishing of houses would
tend to promote their soliditv as well as
their artistic interest, both of which are
compromised by the universal habit OF
using hard wood only In the form OF
veneers or castings upon grounds OF
cheaper material; but decided pro-
gress will have to be made in the art of
seasoning @and working the timber OF
decidrous trees before it can be used in
large pieces in way to satisfy those ac-
customed to the straightness, smooth
ness, and unvarying character of pine.
For framing, spruce and hemlock, with
whitewood IN the Southern and Middle
States, will probably soon occupy the
field entirely, and the makers of lafhs
and shingles will perhaps transfer their
industry to the forests of hemlock or
arbor-vit@. For interior finish, ash,
oak, including many kinds now reject
ed, chestnut, black birch, walnut, and
elm, may be turned to good account,
while for exterior work the deciduous
varieties win probably be introduced be-
fore long, for the sake of variety, if not
of economy, and with them a style OF
design different from that now practiced,
to which they are totally unsuited.-
