TIE British brig Lou isa CoTpel, of

last week after most tempestuous
weather, the waves washing over the
vessel from stem to stern. The cap

tap some barrels of fish oil which

were bored into them so that astream
OF oil flowed into the sea. The effect
was almost instantaneous, the vessel
drifting about six points to leeward,
leaving the oil TO windward The
captain says: I'm three-guarters OF

the oil on board we must have been

One OF the significant incidents of
the late canvass, says the New York
Tribune, was the great amount of
work accomplished by the Repubi-
cans, compared with the small
amount Of money it cost to do it. The
campaign fund was about S25,000.
Contrasted with this are the
large sums expended by the DEM
ocrats. Their candidate for register
of that city was assessed S25,000, and
all the employees under Democratic
control in the city and state had to
pay over 215 per cent. of their sala-
ries.

The debate became excited and M.
