The weekly sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1886-1887, 1886-06-17

The loss of the Oregon has alarmed the
thousands of rich people who yearly
cross the Atlantic, for the fact has come
to light that none of the large ocean
steamers carry boats enough to save
more than one-third of the passengers.
There were nearly 900 persons on board
the Oregon, but only boats enough for
$50: and yet that Inflated vessel was bet
ter furnished than the great majority of
ocean carriers. 1t seems our American
maritime laws provide for floats and
RATS in addition to the boats; but as we
have no sea-going steamers, except along
the coast, the travelling public does not
benefit by the forethought of our law
givers.
An English inventor suggests that
number of hollow steel floats, each
eighty feet square, might be anchored in
mid-ocean, bearing sixty foot light
towers. These might be only few hun
dred miles apart, and would serve as
harbors of refuge in the event of a
shipwreck, as well as places for the
transmission of shipping news by tele-
graph and for weather stations. The
cable companies could afford to pay the
expense of running them by the saving
that would be effected in the use of re-
lay instruments. OF course, this would
necessitate the ships keeping on one
route going and coming. Undoubtedly
something of this kind will be done in
the course of time. Indeed, these artifi-
cial islands might be used as sanitariums,
as there are certain forms of sickness
which are benefited by the salt ocean

slinning the Goose in vienna.

In Vienna the goose is skinned before
it is sent to the market, and the skin
garnished with its down is sold as swans
skin or down. 1t is thus effected: The
skin of the back is slit, and the whole
drawn over the head like a shirt with
the greatest care, SO as not to injure the
breast. Such a skin sells for Q or
francs, but the value of the bird is less
ened one-fifth., The carcasses. are sent
to Paris, and are eagerly bought up by
the work-people and tavern-keepers. At
Poitiers> there are two houses which pre-
pare annually 10000 to $4,000 swan
downs, England and America being the
chief markets. Foreign letter.

LIN 4 sTRONGHesD

LIN II 5 TRONGHC1D.
Fighting at Close 0uartert-At the Foat
of the EarthworIS<.
About the time that it was evident
that the naval attack was not to succeed
there emerged from the scrubby wood
north of the fort the troops destined to
assault the place. These were veterans
from the Army of the James Suddenly,
at right shoulder shift and a double
quick" the line swept across the sandy
plain which extended from the place of
starting to the base of the huge mann
elons which, running from sea to river,
formed the northern side of the fort.
The onward sweep never ceased, al
though it swayed at times when the gaps
were cut in it. Such charge soon car
ried them to the palisade at the foot Of
the great earthworks. and the pioneers
axes began to CLEAN in TIL. western sum,
as they chopped away at the palings, al
ready shattered in some places by the
bombardment. The fire of small arms
row became incessant, rs the assailants
began to respond. !
After what seemed a long delay we
saw the line pass through the obstruc-
ton and in another moment they and
their colors were seen on one of the west
ern mamelons, sharply defined against
the sky. Then there was a sharp mus
kerry fight and men, killed and wounded,
rolled down the steep incline; yells of de-
fance and shouts OF command grew
louder and louder, and then there come
q rush, pell-neu struggle, and we
saw the colors slowly rise and
then established on the top OF the
next mound. Then more fighting,
another rush and the next mound was
taken, after the meet determined resist
ance. Seeing this, Gen. Terry signaled
the Ironclads to fire into the easterly
traverses and clear them out, which was
done with wonderful precision, until the
advancing fight rendered the Smelling as
dangerous to our own troops as to the
enemy.
the sun went down and night closed in
while this desperate infantry fight was
going on, rendering it impossible to dis
ting1ish friends from foes by our glasses
Fearfully anxious, yet confident, we
waited on the deck, listening to the vary
ing sounds as the two parties fought at
close quarters. guided In their hre by the
flashes of their opponents muskets. At
last, about 10 o'clock at night, there was
tremendous cheering and the tide of
battle suddenly swept away down to-
wards Federal Point, where the remnant
Of the garrison, about 1000 in number,
laid down their arms. The surrender
was instantly telegraphed to the fleet by
means of signal lanterns, and every ship
sent up round after round of hearty
cheers; not only for joy at the achieve
ment, but because there was an end, at
last, of the weary blockade, ON that
dangerous coast, of a most important
point-so important, indeed, that Gen.
Lee had telegraphed not long before,
that it must be held, at any cost, other
wise he must evacuate Richmond. &c.

A Hindoo Husbands strict Creed.

The Hindoo idea of marriage is curious:
A man both day and night must keep
his wife SO much in subsection that she
by no means be mistress of her own ac-
hons. If the wife have her own free
will, notwithstanding she is of superior
caste, she will go amiss. A woman shall
never go out of her house without the
consent of her husband, and shall pay
proper respect to her husbands father,
the spiritual guide and her. guests. and
shall not eat until she has first served
them with victuals Gf it is medicine. she
may take it before they eat); woman
shall never go to a strangers house, and
shall not stand at the door and must
never look out of the window. If a
woman, following her own inclinations,
goes whithersoever she chooses, and does
not regard the wishes of her master,
such woman shall be turned away.
If a man goes on a journey, his wife
shall not divert herself by play, nor see
any public show, nor laugh, nor dress
herself with jewels or fine clothes, nor
see dancing, nor hear music, nor sit at
the window, nor ride, nor behold any
thing rare or choice, but shall fasten well
the house door and remain private; and
shall not eat any dainty victuals, and
shall not view herself in mirror; she
shall not exercise herself in any agreea-
BILE employment during the absence of
her husband. -Philadelphia Call.

r Days Work of Our Gran dfathers.
A gentleman whose recollection of af-
fairs of long ago is very clear, says in
regard to the hours of labor back in the
'2O's: r,9E p
"The days work sixty years ago was
from sun to sun, that is beginning at
sunrise and leaving off at sunset. This,
of course made a large difference in the
length of days between summer and
winter; consequently the building was
mostly done in the long days of summer.
The price then paid for labor was from
rs cents to 81 per day, and to carpenters
and masons $1.25 to 81. so per day. The
bell in the clock steeple of DR.. Lathroy's
meeting house was, by order of the town,
rung at o'clock for breakfast, at II
o'clock for luncheon,F o'clock for din
ner, A o'clock for. luncheon, and at 8
O'Clock at night for all apprentices to go
to bed. The employer then furnished at
II o'clock black strap (New England
rum and molasses) and hard bread and
cheese, and at 4 o'clock another dram of
black strap This dram was carried to
the workmen to save time About fifty
years ago one Seth Luther set up as re-
former that ten hours of labor was the
proper time. He neglected his work

poor-house. Boston Transcript.

A Folders Corn sf PhsaosenaI Growth.
John Albert Browns corn is the sub
feet of an Official report to the war de-
narrative to the American Medical society
Of this city. Brown Is private soldier in
the United States army, and he Is sta
toned at Fort Elliot, Texas. The account
of his corn, Is made to the Washington
active duty, and recommended gravely
enough that he be excused from
such duties as bore too heavily on his bad
foot. The report to the Scientific assccia-
ton is by Surgeon X. c. Newton, on sery-
ice at Fort Elliott The dimensions of the
corn arc reported by him as phe-
nomenal. 1t In declared to be an
inch in superficial diameter, and of q
depth that required the scalpel and caus-
tics to wonderful extent for its removal
But it WAS persistent. DIR. Newton relates
that 1t grew again and again after re-
peated operations, and that it success
fully defied lunar caustic, salicylic acid,
entire excision, collodium, scraping, can
nabis, indica and poultices. Within few
weeks after each removal it was there in
place again, as big and malignant as
ever Then constitutional treatment by
medicine was tried, but the corn seemed
to be like any other cOrn-s local affair,
not affecting or affected by the general
system of Brown. These facts have been
on record for months.
But now comes the news that Browns
corn b cured. His name il to be at once
removed from the roll Of incapable march
ers, and the medical men are informed
that applications Of liquor potassae twice
