Boston, January 22.-Fishermen say
that the City of Columbus did not
strike on DEVILS Bridge at all, but on
the mussel bed mentioned yesterday as
being 300 feet outside the buoy of the
bridge. They say further that there
is but fifteen feet of water there, and
all agree that Capt. Wright is correct
when he says he saw the buoy on the
port bow at the time she struck.
Quarter Master Macdonald, the man
who was at the wheel when The acct
dent occurred, has been reported as
having said that when off Nobska
Light Capt. Wright gave him the
course to follow as southwest by west,
and he held that curse until the vessel
struck the rocks. Capt. Wright ad-
mits that he was correctly quoted as far
as changing the course at Nobska was
concerned, but also saws that before
entering his state room in the pilot
house he told the second mate to change
the course to west southwest when the
ship should be off Tarpaulin cove light
and in his opinion this was not done
hence the wreck.

parted.
The money value of the white elephant
is difficult to determine, and what was
paid for the one that is to be exhibited
to tho Parisians and Londoners before
reaching this country, will probably
never be known. Fifty thousand dol
lars is given by Sir John Bowring, an
authority on white elephants, as a pos
sible money value of one, but he also
leaves us in doubt by saying that few
hairs from the white elephants tail were
worth fortune.
This recalls a curious incident Of Sir
Johns visit to the king of Siam. He was
charged with a state message to the king,
and on his return home was presented
with golden box with instructions to
present it to her majesty as gift from
the king of Siam. 1t was delivered to
the queen in due time, and when opened
found to contain few hairs from the
tail Of one of the kings white elephants.

WISE WORDS.

Better three hours too soon than ont

Kindness is the only charm permitted
to the aged; it is the coquetry of white

We must consider humanity as a man
who continually grows old, and always
learns.
Our grand business is not to see what
lies dimly at a distance, but to do what
lies clearly at hand.
Of all our infrmities vanity is the
dearest. A man will starve his othe.
vices to keep that alive.
Power turns deaf car to the re-
proaches of those who are without the
power OF Iedressing their wrongs.
Virtue will catch as well as vice by

He seldom lives frugally, who lives by
chance. Hope is always liberal, and they
that trust her promises make little scru.
pies of revel.ng to-day on the profits OF
tomorrow.
Men seem neither to understond their
riches nor their strengthen the former
they believe greater things than they
should; of the latter much less. Self,
reliance and self-denial will teach man
to drink out of his own cistern, and to
eat his own sweet bread, and to learn

carefully to expend the good thing,
committed to his trust.

A Little Russians Bath.

A little mouschik is taught to be very
clean-once a week. The Russian creed
requires him to bathe every Saturday,
and he does so religiously, but does not
see much water between times, and sleeps
by night in the clothes he wears by day.
Even the Russians of better families
content themselves with a dry polish in.
stead of a wash. Little VANS bath
would be a trying thing for an English
child. First he is steamed till he is half
suffocated in hole under the stove or
in one of the vapor baths constructed in
rude manner in all Russian villages.
Then he crawls out, and mother half
browns him with pailfuls of hot water.
Then she pours ice-cold water over him,
or sends him out to have a roll in the
snow, after which little Ivan dresses,
with pride, having had all the cleaning
he will get for a week.
