the lower bay and eleven tugs have been
sent TO her assistance. Her passengers are
being taken off. IL il feared that she is
sinking in quicksand.
The first'report was that the big steamer
had grounded in the channel last night. but
that was mistake. She lies hard md fast
n little east of the buoy. The company
this morning expected 10 get her ahoat, but
at o'clock this afternoon one Of the big
tugs. which went 10 her assistance, re-
turned tO quarantine before noon, and IT.
ported all previous efforts To float the ocean
queen had been unavailing. This tug did
not confirm the report that the steamer
was sinking in quicksand but brought
news Of considerable excitement existing
among the passengers cd board.
The steamer carried 800 cabin passengers
and 175 second cabin passengers The
steerage contained hundreds of others.
Among first cabin passengers was Wilcox
Barrett the English tragedian.
This afternoon the tugs abandoned their
efforts 30 get the vessel nflOat and decided
10 wait for high water tonight. The =. eaIn-
boats Fletcher ana John E, Moore landed
the bulk Of the steamships cabin pusseu-
gers nj the Inman Line dock during the af-
teTnoon.
Among the cabin passengers taken of the
City Of New York by n steamer we're George
Gould and wife. The latter was i'll and had
10 be Carried aboard the other boat. IL was
learned later that Mrs. Goulds illness is not
serious. The steamer seems 10 stand as If
she was on dry dock. Her bow is more
elevated than her stern, her twin screws
stand almost clear of the water, and she
in yisibly listed TO port. The pilot
who WINS in charge when the steam
er went aground said he had been
n pilot for seven years and never met with
an accident before. He stood on the bridge
with six officers Of the vessel, when looking
forward lac saw a pilot boat crossing the
steamers bow bearing torch. He parted 10
avoid colliding with her, and ran aground
before he could star board his vessel.
The steerage passengers we're 80 wild and
excited they wanted to lynch the pilot but
were soon subdued by Capt. Lewis and the
officers
The steamer Star took the remainder of
the cabin passengers and n good deal Of
baggage 10 the city this afternoon.

PniLApEiruIA, Oct l0-rhe story of the
September IA. WAS told again to-day by n
handful of the intended victims of the
mutmcors. The British steamship Darian,
which arrived tonight, brought six Of the
white officers ngainst whom the attack was
made, and three friendly darkies. Their
account of the insurrection is practically
the snme as has already been told in these
dispatches. Two of these gentlemen show
marks of terrible i'll usage. w.
Roby having thirty stitches in his
scalp, where il was torn open
by blows from clubs. and IL. A. Jones, being
likewise marked besides having cuts ON his
face. There are l37 darkies employed on
the island, all having been sent there from
Baltimore, and large proportion of them
being of the toughest class. The survivors
consider themselves very fortunate in escap-
ing alive. At the time the insurrection oc-
Cured nm English brig was lying off the
const and Dr. Smith succeeded in getting
n note to her captain. The latter immedi-
ately sailed for jamaica and sent the Brit
ish mnn-of-war Forward 10 their assistance.
When the vessel reached the island the
negroes were thoroughly frightened, as the
English captain got out his GatlIng gun
and threatened to shell the island unless
every one Of the officers was sent over in
safety. They were taken aboard the For
ward ON Thursday, after being ON the is
land since the previous Saturday. "As we
assembled the steps up the side
Of the vessel" said DIR. Smith, 'the Off

MEMoRY's MUSIC.

1he old man sits In the sunshine Of the autumn
And Memory, over and over, sings to the same
old tune,
while the ripened leaves are falling like rain on
his silver head
A song of the days that's vanished and the dear
ones that are dead.
II sings of the beautiful summer that came with
dream OF love,
10 make fair world fairer. ''Irue heart, In the
world above"
he whispers low, IS he listens to the song by
Memory sung.
ssThe love win live on forever that came while
we were young"
There comes change in the singing-a lullaby's
low refrain;
He hears the heart of the mother beat In the
music's strain;
He secs her again with her baby Graded upon
her breast;
And, forgetting the graves on the hillside, his
heart IL sbrim with rest.
Then through the lullaby's cadence, q low, sad
minor creeps,
And again by the baby's cradle the old man
kneels and wecps;
The sound of the mothers moaning Is heard In
the sorrowful strain
Tho plant of arms that are empty where lost
little one has lain.
o, wonderful memory music, in whose strange
measures blend
The sorrowful things Of lifetime, and the joys
that never end;
Over and over the dreamer's past Is lived each
day.
As he sits at life's twilight thinking Of those
who are far away.
And yet. at his side forever are those whom be
loved 90 much;
He feels HIS dead wife's KISSES and the baby
fingers touch.
Thank God, gray -haired dreamer, that wher
the heart grows old,
The magic Of Memovy's music keeps out life'i
frost and cold.

AMBER AND AMsERoRIs.

How and Where These Two Valuable
Substances Are Obtained.
Ambergris, which is used as a basis
for nearly all standard perfumery, was
first found an unattractive mass floating
on the surface of tho sea or lodged upon
the shore. How so unlikely substance
ever suggested itself as perfume is
unknown, but it has been in use for CEN
turtles, and it is only in comparatively
recent times that it's origin has become
known. 1t is nothing more than the
morbid secretion of the liver of q sick
spermaceti whale. 1t is described as
fatty, waxy substance, disagreeable to
sight or touch, but even in its crude
state exhaling pleasant odor. The
crude substance is subjected to chemical
action to extract the active principle
called amberine. 1t was recently re-
ported that a Maine fisherman picked
up mass of the substance which nearly
filed barrel and is worth S25, 200. This
is probably an exaggeration both as to
size and price, for the largest piece on
record was found on the Windward
Islands, weighing 100 pounds. This
was sold for about $4,000.
Amber was also first found on the
shores of the sea after severe storms.
For time it's origin was unknown. but
it was early put to use and regarded
with superstitious awe by the ancient
Greeks and Romans, its peculiar cleo
trical qualities being noted by them. 1t
is now thought to be the gum of forest
trees which persisted ages and ages ago,
the lands upon which they persisted hav-
| ing become the oceans bed. Amber has
no fixed value, the price being regula-
ted wholly by size, quality and other
considerations Drops of amber In
which are imbedded insects of those an
cient times command fancy prices, while
the more common kinds are used fol-
making certain kind Of varnish and
even in medicine. The worlds supply
of the two, amber and ambergris, does
not wholly depend upon what may be
accidentally found. Dredging for am
Der is now systematically carried on by
regularly organized companies, and all
spermaceti whales killed by whalemer
are subjected to pretty thorough post
norton examination, the find of amber
girls in the monsters interior often be
ing vastly more valuable than the oil
extracted from his blubber overcoat-
