The Cargo or the Passengers.

BALsIMORE, NJ. D., April 23.-In
speaking of any financial loss result
ing from the throwing overheard of
the Missouri's cargo in rescuing the
passengers of the Denmark, Mr.. Ba-
ker, one of the owners of the Missouri
states that he has not enough particu-
lars at hand to determine the merits
of the case. zone thing is certain, !"
said Mr.. Baker, land that is, that our
company will not charge one cent for
the trouble caused by the action of
Capt. Murrell. He receives our appro-
val for what he did in the helping of
his fellow men. If it should
fall to our lot to pay for the cargo
thrown overheard to make room
for perishing men, we will pay the
bill without murmur. The course
of Capt. Murrell is approved on the
same ground that it would have been
disapproved had he acted differently.
Had he allowed three hundred per-
sons to have gone down to death with
out having done all in his power to
save them, he would not only have
been discharged from the service of
the company but would have merited
and no doubt would have received,
just condemnation of all who feel an
interest in rescuing those who are in
danger"

Thrilling Incident In Boston.

Chicago Herald.
A book agent can tell better lie
than most anyone in any other walk
in life. There is one in town now
who told pretty fable to a party of
friends the other day. He was in Bos-
ton once, he said, and he fell in late
one night, with a drunken sea cap
tain who had a pocket full of money.
Three suspicious looking characters
were following him at the time, and
the book agent went to his rescue.
He took him in tow to pilot him back
to his ship, and on the way he
stopped with him at a saloon, where
he directed the barkeeper to give
him big glass of settler. The glass
was handed over and the sea captain
urged to down it for his own good.
He drank it ALL" said the book
agen t, "and then sat the big glass OH
the bar before him. Before he could
turn away he gagged wildly, and in q
moment the settler issued from his
nostrils in two foaming jets, COM
pletely filling the glass as it was be-
fore. He then called for whisky This
story was told by the only survivor of
all who heard it. He came to late in
the evening, cTawled into the fresh
air and slowly recovered his strength.

How a Western Editor Travels.

How a Western Editor Travels.
Chicago Mail.
NJ. H. Jewell, editor and proprietor
of the Bismarck Tribune, passed
through town the other day on his
way east. He wrote his name on the
Palmer House register, and when the
clerk asked him for his baggage or
grip-sack, so that it might be sent to
his room, the western newspaper
owner just looked at him with a queer
smile and walked away. He is prob
ably the only well-tO-do man in
America who, when he makes up his
mind to take a thousand-mile jaunt
about the country, just fills his pocket
book with big bills and gets on the
train without so much as an extra
collar for luggage. Wherever he goes
he buys what he needs and expresses
the laid-off linen back home. His
wife thereby knows where he is by
the every-other-day express packages
which keep on coming as long as he
is away from home. Thus he will be
traced on his present trip to st. Paul,
to Chicago, to Philadelphia, to Wash
ington, to New York, and back west
again.

Needed Road Repairs.

The commissioners did a wise thing
in having the culvert at the principal
crossing cleaned out Monday to avoid
the overflow that has been the case at
our heavy rains. The people of the
Landing, especially those having chill
dren to come to school complain that
the commissioners do not give more
attention to the road at the lower
end of "WhOpping." The flowing of a
large part of the water of the town to
this point makes very bad roods in
times of big rains. There used to be
posts planted along to protect the
side walk, but these are gone and the
teams have so encrOached upon it as to
drive the children to cross the corn
lots to keep out of the mud. This
place should be kept in better condi-
ton, but it cannot be effectually done
without a long drain at considerable
cost, to the creek.
The heavy rains of this summer
have made it exceptionally bad, and it
is over it the heavy loads of phosphate,
coal, brick, and tile from the Landing,
have to be conveyed. The Transpor.
tation Company is particularly inter
ested and have engaged, in the absence
OF county or town appropriation, a
hundred or more loads of broken bricks
from the kiln to give it better foun-
datiOn. 1t is expected that those who
have considerable hauling over this
place to lend a helping hand. But
whatever is done privately does not
relieve the commissioners from doing
their duty. When the time comes thai
culverts are laid in our streets all thi:
will be remedied, but until this is done
patch work is better than no work.

The fippant editor of the Evening
journal is making a considerable ado
and wasting much of the valuable space
Of his paper in trying to write into
importance something that it would
seem could hardly engage the atten.
ton Of sensible editor of daily paper
who hadn't a dearth of subjects; a trifie
that had its origin in the careless para
graph in a country weekly. We have
no quarrel with Adjutant General
Kenney: he may issue as many order 74's
to roll militia through our State without
touching the sacred soil Of Delaware
as he pleases, but in practical import
ance it has no more force than a com
pany Of boys playing soldier" and
hence as before said, was superssrvice-
able. Our enthusiastic contemporary
proves the custom by citing General
Kenney's order No. so to be of the
same class and kindred as his No. "a.
Just 50; we do not doubt it. But no
proof is given that any such bulletins
or orders were issued in the daily
papers Of Pennsylvania, New York, or
other States that were simply crossed;
yet they might have done it with the
same propriety as was done in our
State. II there was any such order in
the papers Of those States we have no
knowledge Of it. The only proof
brought forward for any other State is

THE Philadelphia Times gives the
following as the complexion of the
next House:
There are no vacancies in the new
Congress, excepting the additional
members for the new States to be
chosen on the 1st of October, and the
status of parties is Just as it was made
by the election of last year, viz, 164
Republicans and 161 Democrats, of
which 163 constitute a quorum. 1t is
quite probable that the October elec
tiOns in the new States will add four
to the Republicans; two from South
Dakota, one from North Dakota and
one from Washington, and that Mon
tana will add one to the Democrats.
The House will then stand 16S Repub-
heans and 162 Democrats, and requir-
ing l66 to make a quorum. 1t should
be remembered that no party is in
power in the House for partisan work
without a full quorum of members
present to respond to their names.
While the Republican majority is likely
TO be at the meeting of Congress in
December, it must have 166 votes
always ready to assure any exercise OF
party power, such as the election oil
speaker or the settlement of contested
seats. There is a side element in the
Republican majority in the House that
may be very embarrassing and posi-
bly, prevent the command of a party
quorum when most needed.
