out. Then the wind changed to the north west,
and began to blow stifly. On Tuesday, at six
o'clock, the wind again shifted, and First
Officer Carbine ordered the watch to cross the
jib sheet over, to benefit by the change. Nine
men rushed to obey the order. The sea was
comparatively calm, and not q wave had
boarded the steamer when suddenly Mr.. Car
bine yelled, My God! look at that wave. A
great wall of water, many feet high, was hang
ing over the bow of the vessel, and as he spoke
it broke. The men had no inkling of their
danger, and the result was narrowing. In all
directions there seemed to be bleeding and
groanin4 men. jeremiah Harrington, a young
English sailor, lay dying near one of the iron
ventilators, with his jaw broken and his skull
fractured. A sailor named Murphy had his
right arm and right leg fractured and several
ribs broken. Harris, a sailor, had his hip-bone
fractured, and suffered internal injuries. A
sailor named Duncan M'Bride had his left
thigh and right ankle fractured. Harrington
left a young wife and child at Liverpool, and
after his burial service on board the ship a col
lection of $500 was taken, half of which went
to them and the remainder to the wounded
sailors. The character of the great wave is
mystery. 1t rose with awful suddenness, and
was as high as the highest storm-Wave. The
sailors declared that it was a not unfamiliar
phenomenon. and called "a ranger The
officers did not regard it as a tidal wave,
but as what they term "a winter wave"
The vessel gave a heavy lurch as the
wave tumbled over her bows and it was a
second before she regained her poise. The
wave did no material damage, not even to the
extent of breaking a rope. 1t seems to have
expended its strength on the sailors. Il never
shall forget" said Officer Carbne, when that
wave doomed up. | was wltcaing the men

water crossed my vision, and looked like sud

quickly, aud before | h9l time to realise what
had occurred it htl rolled away. Ihtve ira
vellel the sea a god mtny years, bit l cannot
recall a similar mishap. Fortunately it occurred
in the early morning. Hld it struck us later in
the day, when the passengers were on deck, it
might have been a more serious fatality"

THE CAPTURE OF VALPARAISO.
From the Daily Telegraph. }

New York Aug. 81.
The following account, dated yesterday.
of the decisive battle between the forces of
President BalmaGeda and he CHILEAN inSur-
gents has been received from Valparaiso by
the Herald
Balmaceda'S powerin Chill is broken. His
army has been crushed, after FIVE hours hard
fighting, beyond all hope of reorganization,
and the insurgents have taken possession of
Valparaiso. The future of Chilli has been
decided. With Balmaceda practically a
fugitive without resources in men or money,
with the prlnclpal SeapOrtS of the country in
the hands of the COngreSSiOnalIStS, and the
consequent shutting off of all income from
customs receipts, with Senior Claudio Vicunaa
refugee Oh board a German warship. and the
country t10Cking en- masSe to the standard of
the invaders, it is a matter 0fonly a few days
when the capital shall fall into theh&ndsO of the
lnsurgent leaders. A new Government with
possibly Judge Belisario p rats or SenOr Man
url Jose lrarazaval at its head, will be formed
and things will go along in about the same
way as they did before July l, when HOSTILE
ties were formally begun. General del
Canto and his army won to-day's battle by
superior generalship and good hard fighting

satIOR of the army and the deSertiOn of the

The position to this morning was in brief
as follows; Balmaceda was not in a posi-
ton to make an offensive movement, and
devoted bis time to making his defences as
strong as possible, Then all was not in har-
mony in the Presidents military council. Both
General Barbosa and General Alzerreca we're

the field. This caused friction and jealousy.
which resulted almost in an open rupture
yesterday, and the two officers worked at
cross purposes.
Early this mo ming the boom of cannon

a movement beyond the ordinary skirmishes
had begun. The excitement was intense,

MIS- ANEOUS
(Erom the Spectator 22nd august

The visit of the French fleet to Portsmouth
and the review proved a great success, the
officers being delighted with their reception
by the Queen at Osborne, and with the ball
and other festivities on land. and the men with
the solid dinner and roast beef and plum pud
ding provided for them by the Mayor. This
entertainment must, indeed, have proved
specially gratifying to the tars of both nations
for it confirmed two well worn beliefs. The
menu showed that Englishmen do actually
live on nothing but 'os BIT and p~lom-pudding
while the fact that tn" French sailors insisted
on kissing as many of the townsmen Of Ports
mouth as they could get at during the triumph
al procession back to their ships, confirmed the
stories Of Gallo enforcement between man
and man which are current in England. Both
sides, in fact, did what was expected Of them,
a sure foundation for a good understanding.

los Walker Martinez, the Congressional leader
who had been refused a safe conduct from
Balmaceda, and had remained at Santiago,
since the comm encement of the Revolution,
directing the conduct Of affairs in the South,
was requested by General del Cynto TO take
possession OF the city, and act as lnteudeuto
until permanent arrangement can Re made.
This he did. In the meantime there had been
a general flight ofSuch Government official here
as had reason to believe that they had brought

Shortly after noon the victorious army began
to enter the city.
The inhabitants Of Valparaiso are TO dav

of flowers were flung by enthusiastic women on

Shortly after the entry Of the army the cap

He attempted to steam cut and opened hire with
his machine guns on the insurgcrt troops.

The Labor Question.

The labor question from its sacredness,
and the power it wields either to elevate or
lower humanity. is one which has occupied
the minds of thinking men for many years
and unhappily is to. day as far from an equi-
table adjustment as the day it was first con.
sidered a necessity to prevent if possible
the growth of mutual acrimOny and discOn-
tent that was growing up between the cap
italist and the workngman. When God
drove Adam from the Garden of Eden. He
pronounced an edict upon him and all the
children of his race, that he and they
''should earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow" but it seems to me, looking at
it from the standpoint of our present every
day surroundings, that certain class of
men-the creatures of God and consequently
co. heirs with the human family in all the
joys as we'll as the sorrows of life-have as
sumed to themselves the prerOgativeS of the
Most High, and from their thrones, glitter.

said unto their fellOw-men, Thy brow shall

princely yachts and everything else that go
to make life happy and consequent para.

hunger, nakedness and want that masters
may add new gold to their already over
flowing money-bags?
If those eXponents of sympathy, senti-
ment, etc., are sincere in their outward
show of favor to the workingmen. why do
they not advise the putting of the men to
work so that their families may not want
and then petition and arbitrate afterwards?
But, no! they prefer to be the willing dupes

longs of right to every child of God; that
freedom which will enable him to give an
honest days toll for an honest days wages;
that thus while ministering to the spiritual
and temporal wants of those committed to
his care. and discharging his duties in every
way as free man in free land, he may
at the same time do his part unretrospect-
lively, in maintaining and defending-as he
is ever ready to do if given but half chance
those bonds of mutual good will and
friendship which should ever link together
the master and the man. Then, and not

romance or novel;" says Lytton, paints
beauty in colors more charming than nat

They teach the mind to sigh after beauty
and happiness that never existed: to de.

"human natures daily food" tame and

the pleasure of such reading; sort of spir-
