"there are probably 40 or 80 men, all

most of them are on the North Star, the
Southern Star, or the Pride of Idaho

have been an unreliable person; and for

are six men at work OH the North Star,

but very few now in that vicinity as
most of the prospectors have been
driven out by deep SHOWS. The total
number of miners now in active employ

withstanding the present inactivity of
that section it is very promising, both
on account of developed mines and the

good, what is bad, and what is in
different.

sermon TO Young Men.

Rev. Il. II. Williams, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church OF this city.
preached sermon yesterday morn
ing to the naval cadets some of whom
are about to leave for their three
months cruise and large number
OF whom are graduates and will leave
for all time. The sermon was par
ticularly adapted to the occasion
and was in every respect fine pro-
duction. In his closing remarks he
said: a large number of young men
of this congregation have completed
another year of their preparation for
the work of life. Another year of
my work for their spiritual good is end
ed. With great regularity, young gen.
tlemen of the Academy, you have at
tended our services. To some of YOU
the opportunities here offered for spir-
,itual good now come to close. From
you who go out from us, not again
to return, we would ask kindly re-
membrance. In other days, and
amid other scenes, it may delight you
to remember this church, where in
youth you so frequently worshiped.
May the memory of these services,
'like chime of evening BELLS" come
with sweet and refreshing effect in
times of loneliness, in times of duty
and danger, in times of sickness and
sorrow, As you go forth to perform
the noble duties of your calling, and
to form other companionships than
those you have had here in the period
of preparation, see to it that you walk
in the counsels of the wise. We
would have those OF. youswho return
feel that this house of God, like the
home you have left, has an open door
for you, where you may feel that kind
hearts are interested in your welfare.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
welcome awaits you on your return
from cruise. By the rules and train
ing of the Academy, many valuable
traits are developed, such as prompt
ness, and punctuality, and obedience,
and generosity and self respect. But
there are other things which should
not be neglected. Conscience, and
all the religions affections, should be
carefully trained. Situated as you
are, this must, to a large degree, be a
work of your own. Let, then, all
strive to be companionable in the
highest, noblest sense, and let each
contribute to the good of all. Hold
fast to the memories of home, and
take the Word of God to be a lamp
unto your feet, and light unto your
path. Seek fellowship with Christ,
and thus holding converse with the
noblest objects and persons, you will
become wise, as our text states, in the
highest, noblest sense.

Supposed to be Drowned.

A seaman named Samuel Walker.
on the United States practiceship
Dale, lying near the Naval Academy
in the Severn River, has been miss
ing since Friday night last. Lieut..
Dillingham; in charge of the Dale.
was notified, and a general muster
ordered. All the men could be ac-
counted for except Walker, the sea-
man.. He had not been seen since
the above evening, and his absence
at the roll-call led to the conclusion
that he had been drowned. 1t was
also ascertained that his canvas bag
of clothing has also disappeared,
which strengthened the belief that
Walker had attempted to swim ashore,
about an eighth of mile, and in his
efforts had been drowned. Walker
was a young man, about 80 years
old, and came with Il Dale from
Norfolk Henry Campbell, a fisher
man, on Saturday evening recovered
bag of clothing and sailors cap in
the Severn river, and it is supposed
they belonged to the drowned man.

A Capsize and Rescue.

On Saturday afternoon a bateau
being sailed by Mr.. Guy Thompson,
in which were several companions,
was capsized by heavy flaw of wind
off Bay Ridge, and the parties pre-
cipitated in the water. They clung
tenaciously to the upturned boat and
succeeded in getting on her bottom,
when Mr. Harry G. Thompson who
was near by in boat, at the time
of the capsize, went to their rescue,
and took them off and brought them
safely to shore. 1t is useless to say
all the parties received a good soak
ing, which no doubt marred, in a
measure, their enjoyment of the sail.

Committee TO Jail.

John Jackson and Charles Foster,
colored, of the crew of the schooner
Annie Cumber," of Baltimore, were
brought here yesterday from Magotby
river, charged with locking the cap
tain and mate in the cabin of their
vessel on Saturday night while they
were asleep, and for attempting to
steal the yawl boat. The noise in at
tempting to break the chain of the
yawl boat, aroused the imprisoned
officers of the vessel, who, bursting
open the cabin doors rushed on deck
and captured both of the fugitives.
They were taken before Justice d. G.
Thompson. who committed them to
Jail, until to-day when they were re-
leased for the action of the United
States authorities.

C. so. Canal.

The stockholders of the Canal held
a meeting this afternoon in the Exc
cutive Chamber, in connection with
the Board of Public Works. Gov.
McLane presided. From what we
could learn the meeting was not al
together harmonious. 1t was finally
determined that the election of Pres
dent be postponed to meeting in
December, that the Board may see
the affect of the policy adopted by the
present President and Directors. The
Governor offered resolution as in
structed by the Board of Public
Works, reducing the Presidents sal
ary to $1,000 per annum requesting
the directors to reduce other salaries
ten per cent, and to cut down all ex-
penses to the lowest possible rate.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and the meeting adjourned
to the first Monday in December.

The promenade concert which has

numerous Chinese lanterns, and the
music excellent. Hundreds of ladies'

picturesque scenery.
