Bseught mere For .n>,sar..

The steamer Major Rsybold, which
was caught In the cyclone last Mon.
day and wrecked, was brought to this
oity about 5 O'Clock yesterday after.
noon and taken to the Pusey & Jones
shipyard for repairs, while the ferry
boat Peerless was taken to Harlan &
HQllingsw0rth's. The Peerless was
able to make .her way edown without

the way.
The upper part of the Rsybold is q
complete wreck, and the entire lower
deck is covered with rubbish. The
wheelhouses are standing, but the boil
ers and machinery are entirely exposed.
The forward saloon is unroofed, and
large pieces of timber are lying across
the FURNITURE, much OF. which ID bro
ken. The windows and mirrors are
shattered, and everything 10 In state
OF disorder that tells palmer than words
the force of the gale which struck the
1ll-fated boat. The steamer will have
to be rebuilt above the main deck, with
the exception Of the Warehouses;.
The furniture 10 also broken to such
an extent that but little of 1t can be
used, and the total loss sustained by
the company will not be less than $15,-
900.
The ferry boat Peerless is also badly
damaged, the pilot house and part of
the hurricane and promepa ade decks be
Ing torn away. Part of the frame Of
the wheelhouse was stripped off by the
wind, but the nails were left standing,
and not even bent. A large, force Of
men are at work on each of the boats,
and the repairs will be completed as
soon az possible.

ment held forth to the winners of these
trotring stars to visit Philadelphia, and

Under this head highly interesting
article appears in the International
Standard" for July, written by DIR.
w. F. Quinby, of this city. The writer,
in addition to other matters concerning
silver money, contends that the
present system OF tho Government coin
ing 30 many silver dollars per month is
not correct one. II would be as proper
for the Government to say how much
iron should be mined in a month, or
how much coal should be dug, or how
much cotton grown in year. Owners
of silver should be left free to coin 1t or
not, and into what denominations. The
demand will regulate the supply. No
man will have silver coined into dollars
that are not wanted"
He also argues that the reason why
30 many silver dollars accumulate in
the treasury is because there are so
many one and two dollar notes In cir

Withdrawn gold and silver dollars
would come into more general use, but
adds that snch q course would be very
impolitic at the present time, and ven
lures the opinion that 1t would be better
to place the coinage Of gold and silver
on equal terms, aud then for the Gov.
ernment to cease coming silver dollars.
