BREMEN, March 90 The British
steamer Coventry arrived here to-day
from Fernandina. She brings news
making certain the loss OF the White
Star freight steamer Naronic. which
sailed from Liverpool for New York
February llth, and had not been heard
from thereafter till now. The Coventry
reports that on March 4th, while SOUTH
west of Sable Island off the coast of
newfoundland, she sighted two Iifeboats
bearing the name of the Naronic, keel
upward. and giving evidences of having
passed through a very severe storm. APP
pearances indicated that neither boat had
been long adrift. There is chance that
the occupants were picked up by pass
ing vessel. One of the boats was passed
at o'clock in the morning and the other
at o'clock i'll the afternoon.
That the Naronic is at the bottom of
the sea is not doubted, but the cause of
the disaster is of course still matter of
conjecture. Il is thought possible, iudg-
Ing by the position of the Naronic,
that she may have struck an iceberg,
though 1t is rather early in the season for
them to be noating in that latitude.
HAD sHIPWREcKFD SAILORS ABOARD.
LIVERPOOL, March CA vessel which
passed Deal to-day signaled that she had
eleven shipwrecked people on board. and
the White Star officials think there is a
strong probability that they are a part of
the Naronic's crew.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Southern Lynchings.

according to statistics gathered bv
MISS Ida b. Wells there have been 728
negroes lynched by white mobs in ten
years from 1882 to 1892. 1t is not pre-
tended that these negroes. exceDt in 20
cases, were put to death without pro.
vocation. While this wholesale butch
cry must be condemned by every right
thinking person, and all must hone for
speedy reformation of such lawless.
ness, it would be well if the colored
people should endeavor to live purer
and better lives, and thus avoid giving
otfense or excuse for such brutality as
has been exhibited. If the men could
learn to restrain their natural propen-
sites or to do unto others as thev
would have others do unto them. there
would soon be much less reason to com
plain of violent outbreaks or that the
law had not been allowed to take its
course.
Greater effort should be made to
teach them the necessity of chastity. as
well as of honesty and sobriety. "a bv
so doing the mObs would become less
frequent, and the community would
have no occasion to complain of their
outrageous proceedings. Good schools
with good teachers, and good churches
with good preachers are the evangels
OF peace and good order, and their
establishment in many communities
would go far towards supplantiug the
Winchesters, the hastily imprOvised
galIows or funeral pyre. Even in staid
communities continued gross provoca-
tons tend to provoke violence. as it is
an old saying that those who sow to
the wind will reap the whirlwind and
those who sow dragons teeth may ex-
pect a crop of blood.

Do Our People Prefer to Read Trash ?

This declaration is often made and is
no doubt accepted as true by a large
part of the educated public. Close
study, however, with an effort to get
at the facts does not confirm it. There
is nothing to show that trashy publish
ers claim for them. 1t must be remem-
bered. too, that every trashy book is
transitory, and only one generation of
readers ever reads it.
Proof that the mass of people know
the best books and read the best books
is given by poll of all the principal
Libraries in the country, which is pub
lished in the December Forum. There
it is plainly set forth, by perhaps the
best test that was ever advanced. that
Dickens, Scott, Hawthorne, George
Eliot, Mrs. Stowe, Thackeray and
Cooper are to-day the most popular
novelists.
Out OF 1T novels arrange in the or
der of their popularity, the works of
these great American writer's take the
lead: Hawthore, Mrs. Stowe, J. Feni
more Cooper, Mark Twain, Washing
ington Irving, These have an enorm.
GUS lead over Mr.. James, Mr.. Howells.

The Brazilian War

The most peculiar feature of the war
IN Brazil is that the belligerents can.
not get at each other Admiral Nello
cannot reach his enemy on land. and
President Peixoto has not been able to
reach his enemy at sea. The rebel
ships fire q few shots into Rio once
IN a while, and the shore batteries take
a few shots at the rebel ships when
they get a chance; but the Admiral
dare not so ashore and the President
cannot take to sea. 1t is one of the
most illogical wars that has ever been
fought, even in South America. Ithas
been going on for nearly four months
and we doubt whether hundred lives.
or even fifty, have been lost bv both
beillgerents within that time. We sun
pose 1t can be continued as long as
Mello IS able to find supplies aud Peix-
OTTO is able to keep him off shore. Per.
haps the most saddening thing about
the war is its expense The people of
Brazil seem to take but little interest
IN it, and very few of them appear to
care which side wins. Yet, for all that
they will have to foot the bills.

leaves large and lustrous, under which
she found a few green blossoms, some
full bloom, others in bud, but all pale,
small and without color, perfume or

"Ah !" thought she, "as there are no
roses to be procured these little flowers

are hearts so cold and hard that no
woes of others can soften them, and

The grip is a painful and dangerous
disease, and the doctors are apparently
unanimous that the best way to avoid
it is to keep the general health good
and to live as temporarily as possible.
When it was here the last time, it was
more fatal than any epidemic of
cholera that has ever visited this
country, and more widely spread. To
breathe pure air, to avoid bad habits
and to take plenty of sleep are said to
be excellent preventives of the dread
disease. These are pleasant remedies.
