BosToN, Nov. 30.-NC ws Of the loss of
the Boston & Portland Steam Packet
Company's steamer Portland. off Cape
Cod. and the death OF more than $50
persons, comprising the passengers and
crew of the steamer, and news from
hitherto cutoff ports IN CAPE Cod, show.
ing that at least score and n half of
vessels were wrecked along that shore
with the loss of twelve lives, has come a.
dire climax to the previous record Of
disasters resulting from Saturday nights
storm. There are still other places to be
heard from on both sides of the Cape,
which have not been reached by train
on account of washouts, and which are
cut off from other means OF commnnica-
ton by broken wires, blocked highways,
and shattered bridges.
Up to this morning, while the total
loss Of life cannot be estimated with any
degree of accuracy, it is known that
more than 200 persons perished.
Upon Captain Blanchard's shoulders
John 4. Lisc"mb, general manager Of
the steamship company, places the whole
responsibility of the Portland disaster.
Manager LiScomb attended funeral in
Boston on Sunday. Before he left here
on Saturday night he telephoned to Cap.

This effort of E,cry Epening to brand a

snobbish newspaper work is not without
it's lesson. 1t demonstrates clearly u pol

to remain strictly quiet on matters OF

to fight tn; Mora1og Neus on the highly
important question as to the pr"priety OF

the Botkin witnesses, the detail OF the
dress Of those witnesses. The spobbish

evident.
Yet all this is characteristic OF Will

with the gravest sincerity and healthiest

that of the Tinguians, the ornaments
excepted, but their features and physi-
ognomy were quite different The men
were smaller, their breasts being exceed
ingly broad, their heads big, their limbs
developed, their strength hercuIean; their
shape was not so handsome as that of the

dark bronze, very dark indeed; their

in the summit of which the daylight
peeped in and the smoke crept out. The
floor was thickly-covered with dust, and
it was upon such a soft couch that the
whole family laid down to rest. In one o.
the corners l perceived some bamboo
Iances, a few c0coanuts divided into two
parts, so as to serve as cups, heap o.
