tossed sailing craft have come to hand. The
steamship Hudson from New Orleans reports
having passed the Italian bark Leonada with
the upper part Of hor mainmast and her miz-
zen topgallantmast carried away.
The bark Sappho, from Pensacola, with a
cargo Of yellow pine fol. Buenos Ayres was

She was thrown on her beam ends, and her
crew had to cut away her foremast to Ss.ve
her from capsizipg. The jibboom and main
topmast went by the board with the fore
mast Sea after sea broke over the vessel,
flooding her cabin and forward house, and
spelling nearly all her provisions. Her sails
were torn and lost and part of her deck load
washed away. She put into New York
port for repairs.

The First White House Baby.

Mrs. Wilcox, clerk in the Treasury
Department at Washington, has an IN
teresting history. Her father, Andrew
Jackson Donaldson, was an adoped son
of President Jackson, and she is said to
have been the only child who first saw
the light of day in the White House.
Mrs. Wilcox is a lady of refined tastes
and splendid information. She has seen
many European capitals, and has a co@!
maud of Spanish and other languages
that serve her to good purpose ia her
present sphere. Mrs. Wilcoy,s'husband,
who died in 1865, was aCongressman
from Mississippi in the Thirty-second
Congress, and was afterward elected to
the Thirty-fourth Congress from Texas.
He was also a member of the Confederate
Congress. A-more lively, cheerful lady
is not to be- found, and it is safe to say
that Mrs Wilcox enjoys life quite as
fully as any one Chattanooga Times.

$4,000 LIVES LOST.
The Greatest Disaster I'm the
History Of Japan.
Whole Towns Buried Under Ava
lanches From the Mountains.

The province of Xii, in the southwestern
part Of Japan, has been visited by the
greatest tragedy in the history Of the
country. Probably more than Is, 900 people
have been killed, several towns have been
wiped completely of the face of the earth,
and others have been nearly demolished.
The catastrophe was occasioned by floods in
the western part Of the province and by the
crumbling Of q mountain which, buried SIX
villages under huge mass Of rocks and
earth.
The early part of the month was remarkable
for rain, and the rapid rise Of the rivers soon
became alarming. The banks of the Kinogawa
River, stream over 100 miles in length, broke
near the city Of Wakayamo, and
through the Conemaugh valley when the
dam above Johnstown broke, rushed out
upon the fields and towns, wTecking houses,
bridges fences temples, and all things In ito
path. In that district 200 houses were car
lied away and 5000 were ruined by the
water, leaving 10000 people dependent upon
the local officials for food. -
Owing to several landslides which occurred
close to the source Of the Hidakagawa vast
numbers Of trees, some Of which were very
large, were uprooted and swept on to the
fields, where several thousands arenoW ly-
ing. y. ~
Relief has been sent to the ruined district
but inadequate facilities for collecting and
distributing provisions will make the suffer-
ing intense, and in the outlying districts
many will die from starvation.
1t is impossible to furnish aid to all the
thousands of sufferers, and many must die
of hunger and thirst. The losses in lives and
money will never be known, as whole towns
have been wiped from the earth, with no
survivor to tell the story.
As an instance Of the disaster it may be
mentioned that the Portuguese gunboat Rio
Lima, on her voyage along the coast, was
greatly obstructed by the wreckage of roofs,
timbers of houses, ETC., so that on several oc-
casions she had to stop to prevent damage to
her screw. This debris extended at least
ninety miles along the coast. This Is the
greatest disaster Japan has known for CEN
turies, and further details only bring stories
of more desolation and more suffering than
have thus far been related. The Japanese
newspapers after careful estimate, think the
loss of life does not fall below 5000. ..

An Extraordinary Case Of Conscience


An interesting case of conscience is
reported from Norristown, Penn. 1t IL
thus told for substance. A Mennonite
minister in good standing named Landis
went before magistrate and confessed
that in January last he had violated the
game laws by shooting rabbit after the
close of the season in which rabbits may
be legally taken. He said that, reallz
ing Immediately after that he had com
mitted crime, he gave the rabbit to hls
nephew, who sold it to a man, by whom
it was eaten. he said his conscience had
troubled him ever since, and that ne de-
sired to atone by suffering the penalty pre-
scribed by law. The accommodating mag
istrate at once imposed fine ofS5 which
the preacher paid, subsequently claiming
and receiving half the amount OF the tne,
which the law gives to the informer.
Having thus appeased his conscience so
far as his individual act was concerned,
he lodged information against hls
nephew and the man who had eaten the
rabbit for having respectively exposed 1t
to sale and purchased it, contrary to the
game laws. The magistrate imposed q
fine of SIS on each of the offenders, which
Lands also paid, receiving in return the
informant's half. Avery neat little SER
mon this, for respectable offenders
against our game laws, or other statutes.
And now let no hardened Gospeler draw
his pencil upon it, and reckon that the
worthy Mennonite IS presumably Just
$3.50 in pocket, he having made his COL
lections from his fellow-culprits.
Drowned be such pencil in the salt sea:

first alarm half dozen streams were playing
on the burning building, but it was soon clear
that nothing could save it, and the hose were

doors away. That building was smoking and
it was a sharp half hours fight to make
its safety reasonably sure. The guests OF
the Louisville as we'll as of Seelbach's Hotel,
at the corner of the block, poured out. A
number, mostly frightened servants, were
taken from the second and third stories in

gathered in half an hour to the humber OF
10000.
