MoNOPOLY's BITTER TEAR.

Monopoly shed another bitter tear Of
Jealousy when the steamer ST. Paul sailed
for Panama and way potts yesterday after
noon loaded as she never was before on any
prior ocean trip.
There was cargo below decks and cargo
above and lumber on top Of the cargo, until
the cabins were almost hidden from view,
aud her black smOkestack rose from a mass
of merchandise which was piled over the
engine room.
The vessel was advertised to sail at
O'Clock, but long before that hour she left
Lombard-street pier and anchored in the
stream TO take on number Of tons of dvna-
mite and black powder for Acajutla. San
Salvador.
Part of the powder was loaded on at the
wharf, and when the crowd which had
gathered to witness the departure OF the
vessel learned the nature of the stuff packed
IN NE ltttle square boxes which were being
handed aboard from Il schooner laying
alongside, they scattered quickly, and
almost immediately tho neigh6orhOod was
n'led WIN rumorS or blUOd-curdling nature
regarding tbs 81. PauPs cargo.
1t was deemed best to move into the
stream, thus sDoilng the chances for an
ovation on the departure of the steamer.

is good thing that she has no passengers
on board, or else they would have hard
time getting about her decks"
Though most Of the 81. PauPs cargo was
through freight for New York she took a
great deal Of stuff for Central America.
She Is expected To make the run in %
days from here to Panama, including stop
pages.
The coast-defense vessel Monterey is
reported to be anchored half q mile off
Mare Island light, where divers are en-
gagged in dlsentangling her propeller
blades.
She is at a spot not easily reached except g.
by tug, 50 1t is only speculation as to what
is going on on board the big fighting-ship.
A number Of coasting vessels put out
yesterday morning, but had to return on
account OF the rough weather outside.
Inbound vessels reported the sea running
very high over the par, with strong north
west winds.

porting the injury of one of her seamen,
