much the hardest winter our San Juan
country has been subjected to since its

there has been no real suffering, yet our

the cost of living has been greater than
usual.

Hostility to Blaine

WASHINGTON, April 22.-It is re
ported here, and is generally con.
ceded as fact, that if Blaine is nom
mated, an independent movement
will se inaugurated to put into the
field third ticket of Independent re-
form republicans. This movement is
not yet resolved upon; but there is
every reason to believe that it will
take form in some way. If Blaine is
nominated the Independents will wait
and see what the democrats do. If
they pat up an acceptable man and
show a kindly and steadfast spirit to
accomplish civil service reform, the
Independents will generally vote the
democratic ticket. If not suited with
the results of the democratic conven-
ton they will call convention and
put up rome good man to bestow their
votes upon. They regard Blaine as
in example, spirit and methods of ac-
ton, the veriest type of machine
politician and patronage monger. His
election would set back the cause of
civil service reform and restore to ma
tlonal politics the spirit and aims of
the Credit Mobilier period. But his
nomination is not anticipated, as it is
not believed the convention can com
NIT such piece of stupendous folly.

LIGHTNING AT SEA.
All Hands knocked Down-A Mast
Shivered-A Hole made I'm the Hull.

| The bark Essex, from Zanzibar, lay
few days ago at the Pierrepont stores
IN Brooklyn with splintered main
royal mast and royal topgallant mast.
George H. Wall, her captain, a
weather beaten tar OF some 55 years,
said:
Il have been at sea for IS years. but
this voyage is the one l will remember
longest. We left Zanzibar January
10, with a general cargo, mainly cay
enne. We had passed Hatteras seven
days on April ,, and the wind blew
fresh from the southwest. At about
o'clock in the afternoon the baro-
meter began to fall, aud dropped to
%. 0S at s o'clock, .remaing there until
II clock. When it began TO fall l
took in sail, carrying nothing but the
little goosewing naintopsail. The
wind increased in violence. and the
ship lay on her broadside in the trough
of the sea. The lightning was con
tinuous, and for four hours the atmos-
phere around us was like brilliant
lighted hall. The thunder was deafen-
ing. At abost IL o'clock | was stand
ing by the main brace, and all the rest
of the crew were aft.
''Of sudden felt sudden shock,
and the whole ship seemed covered
with flames. l fell senseless on the
deck When picked myself up after
a moment, found all the other man
had been knocked down. One man
was deaf for hours. We saw by the
splintered mast that the ship had
been struck by lightning. 1t didn't
seem to take much effect on the deck,
but it struck the bulkhead on the rail
and went down, coming through the
side and making this hole, which
can put my finger in.
you notice wherever there is a
nail the wood is splintered around it,
and the copper is ripped up all along
the side. What damage was done to
the bottom we could not tell. Our
cargo fills everything below Our
compasses We're so overcharged that
they were of no use for four days
afterward The mast was SO weak
ened that put no sail on it again.
The gale lashed for thirty six hours,
changing from south southwest into
west and from west into northwest,
causing terrible sea"

the call of committees, move to suspend
the rules and pass the bill. The COM
mittee, on March 10, reported the bill TO
the house and unanimously recommend
ed its passage.
! THE secretary of war has received a
dispatch from Captain Veille, of the
quartermastcr's department at Natchez,
announcing that the relief work south
of Natchez has been complicated, and
that there are no more cases of absolute
dcstitution. The remaining rations will
be distributed at Vicksburg. The en-
tire appropriation has been expended.
IT is fully clear tt at the expectations
of our chief products are not to reach
this year so high figure as last. This
is especially true of wheat and pork, the
largest expectations, emitting cotton,
issued by the bureau of statistics show
that in the past nine moEths the expor-
tations of wheat have only amounted to
$51. .000, 900 in value, against S107 ,000,000
in the corresponding time of the preced-
ing year, the number OF bushels 81 IN the the
past nine months being So G00,000,
against $4,000, 900 in1 the former nine
months. The expectations of wheat
-four for the the past nine months were
$37, ,G00,000 against S43, 100000 in the
corresponding timea year earlier. In
hog products, the falling off is equally
great. The expectations for tho past five
months amount to only $50, 900, 600 in
the corresponding time of the preceding
year. In the expectation of beef and
beef cattle there has been marked in
crease the value of these exports in the
past five months amounting to S15, ,000,
600. against 81, 100000 the preceding
year.
THE $77,O00,0 900 which is appropriated
by the Blair educational bill TO be appor-
toned among the several States on the
basis of iliteracy, will be divided as fol-

4 FEW days since \. +. Bateman, 4
banker at Washington, charged Judge
Advocate General SWAIN with con
duct unbacoming an officer and a gem
tlemau and with deliserate swindling.
These charges were made to the secre-
tary of war, but publicity was given
to them by Batemau. The result of
the charges was to force a settlement; !;
and Mr.. Bateman withdrew his charg-
es. But Mr.. Lincoln. secretary of
war, is not satisfied with the with.
drawal; nor is he satisfied with the ex-
PLANTATION made by Swain. He writes
a long letter to the president comment
ing on the case, and analyzes Swaim's
answer to show that ii is evasive. He
also recommends court of inquir y
to investigate the charges; and on the
secretary's recommendation the presi
dent orders q court 10 be convened.
Mr.. Linceln does not propose that
any whitewashing shall be done. HI
wants Major Swain fully vindicated
or fully exposed, and no hushing up
of the matter by settling the claim
Swain, it will be remembered, was
an intimate personal friend of Gar

ants during his long suffering from
the wound inflicted by the assassin.

How Many Shirts 1t Takes for Ken

When McCreary was still in the
senate from Kentucky he happened
On the eve of a session of congress TO
oe in the room of Mr.. Sweeny, repre-
sentative in the house from one of the
Kentucky districts. The latter was
engaged in unpacking his trunks, and,
among other articles, he took out a
round dozen of shirts.
my God, Sweeny," exclaimed the
penurious old senator, "how many
shirts have yeu got theref
"Only a dozen, senator" replied
SweeEy, as he tumbled out a lot of
other wearing apparel; only dozen,
senator, but | guess they will be
enough for while at least.
"A dozen shirts Ny Lord, whole
dozen of shirts. Why, what in the
world do you do with them all,
Sweeny7"
s.Wear them, Senator; wear them
from time to time, Senator, as | need
them.n
"A whole dozen Of shirts. Why,
Sweeny, only brought two with me
one to wear and the other TO wash.
L never change my shirts, save on
Sunday morning, and / find that two
are as many as want"
No doubt, no doubt replied
Sweeny, with significant glance al
the Senator'S shirt bosom, where the
map of Kentucky was delineated in
tabaceo juice; some folks don't want
many shirts, however much they may
need them"
Old Mac looked at Sweeny with a
suspicious sort of a look, and then
changed the subject forthwith.

4 FOURTEEN, FOOT SNAKE.
ne Makes His Appearance In West
Virginia-First Seen Thirty Ysars
AGO.

4 monster snake was discovered at
kuettville, two miles from Grafton,
w. Va. David Baker, who saw it,
says that he, with others, encountered
the snake in the woods. He described
II as about fourteen feet long and of a
dirty clay color. 1t was as thick as a
man waist and because of its size its
head was raised about two feet above
the ground When it was first seen
one of the men went to house near
by and secured 4 gun while the others
watched, but on his return the snake
had disappeared The monster has
been seen before in the same neigh
borhood. Ten years ago he was seen
by three children, who state that as he
crawled through the long grass of the
meadow he left broad track behind
him. He made his appearance again
two years ago.
All of these different tales agree as
to the appearance of the monster eS-
cept that when he was first seen. thir-
ty years ago, he was but ten feet long
The inhabitants along the swamp ex
press their fixed determination to cap
ture the beast dead or alive. They
have found his den and will watch
until the snake makes his appearance.
