COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.
The Steamship WOOdburn Cut in Two
Eighteen Lives Lost.

The Steamship WOOdburn Cut in Two
Eighteen Lives Lost.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-A collision occurred at
o'clock this morning off Eddystone light,
in the English channel, between the French
steamer St. Germain, from Havre for New
York and the steamer Woodburn, from the
East, via the Suez canal. The Woodburn
Immediately sank, and eighteen of her crew
were drowned. The St. German, disabled,
arrived at Plymouth and landed the passen-
gers saved from the Woodburn.
The steamer Woodburn foundered three
minutes after the collision. 1t was fine
starlight night, and the sea was calm, the
Woodburn being towed. She was struck on
the starboard quarter. There was no time
to lower her boats, and only eleven persons
on board were saved Those drowned
were sucked into the vortex caused
became entangled in the wreckage
The st. Germains bow was completely
stove in and her compartments filled with
water. The greater portion of her passen-
gers were transferred to the tug-boat Re-
covery. The St. German had 426 passen-
gers aboard, including fifty nuns on the way
TO Texas and crew of 122 persons. The
captain of the St. German finding the water
pouring into the forehold with fearful ra
pidity, ordered a sail to be rugged over the
damaged portion of the vessel in order to
check the rush of water and reduce the pres
sure on the bulkhead.
The St. German will go into dry dock for
repairs. From the marks on her bows it is
apparent that the st. Germain went right
through the Woodburn, literally cutting
that vessel in two. A panic ensued on the
st. German after the collision and her pas
sengers insisted upon being transferred to
the tug Recovery.

"I-e-s" slowly answered the rever-

$50 gold piece.
In about an hour another man from
the same neighborhood entered with
the salutation

Reasons for Marrying.

An intelligent lady of Newark, New
Jersey, writes to the Sunday CaU Of
that city, giving what she deems good
reasons for her sex to marry. We
make the following extract:
at does seem that many of the
younger women of the present genera
ton are not enough determined in
matters pertaining to matrimony, or |
should say, in such things as may ter
inmate in matrimony. The girl of
the present generation does not seem
to be far-sighted enough to look for
qualifications of atfiliation and affect
ion, but she rather looks more to the
bread and butter side of the question.
This is good point, but it is not al
ways the best and most trustworthy.
Now, for instance, here is young
lady of average ability, age looks, etc,
who is not exactly suited with her
present company, to whom she is per-
haps engaged, for the reason that he
is not making money fast enough to
suit her ideas. She has also become
almost frantic over another man who,
she thinks, is making his $40 per
week, and she is trying her best to
catch him. She will let the first men,
toned Gf she can catch the seccnd)
go. Now, if the prospects efthe first
do not suit her, but the 20. s4ooqs 'peul
in every respect beside, to b
do not think that such a girl IS do
| ing a wise act for various reasons.
One important reason is, times may
change the financial circumstances Of
both men, as it often does, and n al
most the twinkling of an eye, and t,en
the tables are reversed upon her fora
punishment. l know several young
men who keep steady company with
young ladies of manageable age, and
all along have pretended to be poor in
order to try their will and affection.
1t is not taking the young lady to this
place of amusement or to that seaside
resort and layishing upon your cheap
smiles and presents that makes the
true impression upon woman's gen.
uine feeling. 1t is something greater.
1t is manliness. This the young lady
should seek after. Manliness means
truthfulnes, honesty, integrity, sober
ness, diligence, and self-respect. A
man with these and nc money is worth
more than forty others without them,
though possessing half million.
But how many young ladies ever think
what light they put themselves in be-
fore the men when they accept good
natured invitations to the theatre or
to Ocean Grove or Coney Island?
And the whole time really they don't
care one cent for the man.
