The Question of Lanyards.

A correspondent of an English 'contem-
porary remarks that since the innovation
of screw steel lanyaids to standing rig
ging we have had a deplorable list of
missing ships, and it is the opinion of the
writer and many others that were the old
fashioned hemp lanyards still in use we
should hear less of overdue and missing
vessels. An A ship of the present day,
if efficiently manned and properly hand
led, is equal to encounter almost any
weather she may meet with, but in his
opinion her weakness consists in ''steel
lanyards," which jeopardize the safety of
vessel and crew. A ship sailing with the
wind abeam, being suddenly struck by a
heavy squall, lists over, so that when the
order is given to let go topgallant, top
sail halyards, ETC., the yards get jammed
owing to the extreme angle of list, conse
quently before the vessel can be brought
to the wind she turns turtle with the loss
of all on board. Before the innovation
of steel lanyards there were numerous in
stances where ships and valuable lives
were saved by cutting away the masts,
but under the present state Of things this
is next 70 impossible. Marine Journal.

Il tee Information contained in the fol-
loving lines had been in the possession of
James H. Wallace, Of Detroit, Mich, he
would have saved more than $4,000 and
wouia have enjoyed five years of health
an5 happiness, instead Of torture.
Mr.. Wallace is an expert accountant and
boolzkeeesr, in the office Of c. A. Haber-

IA 1:ly in :. pretty homo al 240 Sixth Street.
He was marked by misfortune from his
birth, having inherited sorofula.
Still a young man, MIR. Wallace seemed,
as hs toid his story, to have long life of
vigorous health and usefulness before him,

me. Its beginning seems ike romance.

sarily frightened about yellow

which lives in constant dread of
an enemy which V ill destroy her?
Will no. these fanatics-we
mean no harm, no offense men
and brethern-realize that this
disease has ceased to be danger
Gus? Consider the situation as
reasonable men. See the infni-
tesimal per centage of deaths to
cases; then weigh your own &C.

Why this alarm? Why all this
conformation? Crou ching in fear
