Ocean Treasure Trove.

The wreck of the English bark Midway,
which foupdered in 1858 while bound from
London to Philadelphia with cargo of tin,
lead and spelter worth over $3.50 900, has
been located by the Atlantic and Gulf
Wreckng Company of Cape Henlopen.
Yesterday the schooner j. Howard Magee
landed at Almond street whalfa consign.
ment OF various metals from the Mldway's
cargo which had been brought to the eur
face by divers, and although corroded By
the action of salt water the entire consign
ment sold al the highest market rates. The
discovery of the suDken wreck and her val
liable cargo was made accidentally two
weeks ago by divers of the wrecking CON-
papy. who at once informed the superintend-
ent of their rich find. The divers were
searching for the wreck Of q schooner re
Gently lost on the Hen and Chickens shoals,
which are few miles south of Cape Heno-
pen. While on the bottom looking for the
schooner the divers saw gittering heaps CT
metal that looked like great bars of silver.
They were in fact the pigs of tin forming
part of the cargo f the long lost Midway.
These pigs CT tin, owing to o peculiar con.
dtion of the metal, were as bright as they
were on the day the bark went down.
The wrecking company at once decided to
abandon its search for the sunken schooner
| and look out for the more valuable priZs
| which iis men had go queerly stumbled
upon. a little research convinced them
that the tin was part OF the cargo cfthe Mid
way After full preparations had been
made the work of getting out the cargo was
bsgun, and that orion of it brought to this
city yesterday By the schooner Magee is the
| FIRST installment, which will be followed by
others until all has been recovered. Only
about 100 tons were in the first consignment,
but there are hundreds of tons left, worth
large fortune, probably 10000. which will
be recovered. The Midway's cargo was
consigned to Penroso & Burton old time
Philadelphia ship brokers who are long since
dead and have passed out of public view.
Ia the cabin of the bark was found case of
brandy. much improved by its confinement
in the lost shippers cabin. Itqnickly show.

wreckers. A sextant, 81 pistols and rifles
were lso found in the @feck.-Phiadelphia

PREsENT1MENTs.-In many voyages

PREsENTIMENTS.-l many voyages L
have made 1t an object to inquire of traVe'
lers and others concerning presentm ents
and have found that they are very common,
occasionally fulfilled, gene rally not So ana
that it Ia the tendency with practically all
persons who have had one presentment
come true to force themselves into all, and
to become tyra3ts over those dependent
upon them or those travelling with them. Ii
ia to be frankly admitted that no matter
how vivid the supposed presentiment might
be. it's non-tulf lment would not demon
strate that there are no preseptiments which
must have originated externalt to the mind
of the subject; but having been led
by nv experience to induce many persons to DEFY
such feelings without single instance OF reported
evil results it confirms strongly the hypothesis OF
their subjective origin. That presentiments are
governed by no moral principle in the character
of the subjects to which they are applied the per-
sons who receive them, the occasions upon which
thew are given. and their effects is spparent The
most immoral hsve claimed to have them, have
communicated them to others. and they nave
sometimes been fulfilled by events from which
the persons having them have derived great per.
sonsl advantages. The bes; of men have had pre-
senlime IS, but the great msjority OF gooo people
have not; and the greatest calainities which nave
befallen most persons have come without any
warning whatsoever, except such rs couid De IN
ferred from existing situations. Experience fore
sioht and guidance by ordinary sagacity have
bsen all that mankind have had to rely upon !;
and to be governed only b. these, combating or
disreparding presentiments impressions and
nowerful impulses for which no foundation can De
fnnd in the nature of things is the only safe and
stable rule.-Rer J N. Buckley in Century.

ing circle, bef,re the war, was composed OF
a superior class of gentlemen who lived OH
the labor of slaves. The radiant aristocracy
which developed from this system has ex-
plotted itself sufficiently" Well. the slaves
were negroes, an ensleved race from the
beginning, and were fat, sleek, and amply
provided for when sick or well, as it was to
the interest of the owners that they should
be, and were happy and contented. The
slave g of the radiant aristocracy" OF the
North are white people, who live hal
starved, and when sick die from want, and
when we'll vote the protective republican
ticket at the command of their masters, on
pain of being deprived of food, clothing and
shelter if they fail to do. Which is the
more censurable slavery, the old southern,
or the modern northern?

IT SEEMS that Notwithstanding the fact
that Colonel Dudley Is not publicly Invited
to dine at the White House, the newspaper
statement that he and the President are not
on good terms is all bosh, and that, on the
contrary the CoIontl is entrusted By the
President with the management of the
most important party affairs. 1t is now
said, for instance, that the Ccl1nel was the
chief negotiator in the recent one sided
com promise in Virginis, and also that the
President has put In his hands the entire
control of the coming political campaign In
the four rew States. The President fully
appreciates the value of the services OF such
a worker as Col. Dudley, and there are
more profitable ways of requiting such SER
vices Than by inviting the man who renders
them to dinner.
