SOME BOAT NOTES.

The fishing steamer Fairfelds which
went ashore near Wind Mill Point, Lam
caster county, last week, has been
gotten off with but slight damage.
The bottom of the warehouse on the
wharf at Lynch's Point, on the Potomac
river, gave way few days ago, de-
stroying, by dumpting into the water,
twenty-eight tons of fertilizer belong
ing to John r. Dos Passos, of New
York, who has large landed interests
in Westmoreland county.
The schooner Charles Butler, Captain
Gilbert, of Mystic, Conn.,, which re-
Gently went ashore at the mouth of
Little Bay, in the Chesapeake, above
Windmill point, is total loss. The
wreckers who went to the vessel found
that she was in three feet of water and
had sunk six feet in the sand. The
managing owner came down and de-
cided to abandon the vessel, causing
her to be stripped.
The pungy Silver Star, ladened with
lumber, bound from Mathews comfy to
Hampton, sunk off York Spit light
house during the heavy gale Wednesday
of last week and the captain and crew
had narrow escape from death. The
pungy sprung leak when nearing the
York Spit lighthouse, and within a few
minutes went to the bottom. Captain
Williams and his crew of three men
sought refuge in the top-most rigging,
the vessel sinking in forty-ive feet of
water.

NEW LINE ON RAPPAHANNOCK.

On Tuesday the steamer Severn began
a regular schedule from Urbanna to
fredericksburg, leaving Urbanna at 4
a. m. The steamer will be in charge of
Capt. w. p. Mullen, of Wheaton, with
Willie Taylor as mate, and w. w.
Allison chief engineer. Her regular
schedule will appear later.
The enterprise has the financial back
ing of some of the strongest men on the
Rappahannock river, who have pur-
chased the boat because of urgent de-
mands on the part of Rappahannock
river shippers, and not in a spirit of
opposition to the Md, Del. & Va.
steamboat Co. They believe the grow
ing trade warrants increased transpor-
tation facilities, and the business men
of Fredericksburg have decided to give
the enterprise their hearty support.
1t is understood that stock company.
with capital of $4,000 or $40, 200 win
be organized, and all who are interested
in better transportation facilities are
invited to take stock, from $40 up. The
Severn is one of the most commodious
boats in her class and is an excellent
type for the service. Her speed is ten
miles an hour.

A CHILD'S SELFISHNESS.

This sense of slight at losing first
place is not, I suppose, uncommon
among the first-born to whose parents a
second child comes" says the author of
1.-The Autobiography of An Only Child"
in the November Everbody's. 'eBut
when the baby really belongs and has
come to stay, pride in it, brotherly or
sisterly love for it, above all service for
it and the mother, soon drive out jeal-
ousy. AS for me-for the first time
l saw clearly the advantages of being
an only child, and understood only the
disadvantages of having sister. And
SO, not realizing that had not tested
the full reality, / merely concluded that
the good l had desired was not worth
pursuing.
Possibly was by nature more self
ish than other only children. AS l
think over those have known, / re-
member some in whom the normal
childish longing for playmate at home
has lasted pathetically into the teens.
But others, like me, after years of
eating the whole apple, have found no
appeal in the idea of sharing it. And
that is, think, rather more lament
table than conscious loneliness. For it
means that one side of the child's social
nature is blank; he has no conception
of his loss. 1t means more than that;
it means selfishness, the fault most
frequently and probably most justly
charged to the account of the only
child"

SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES:

A number of u. S. sailors drank bay
rum and died from it.
An enthusiastic whiskey advertise
ment says there is not headache in
a barrel of it; and the man who i'm
bibed quart over night found the
boast to be true. The headache was
not in the barrel. Virginian- Pilot.
Five dealers have been indicted by
the grand jury of Gloucester county on
the charge of selling whiskey illegally.
Men from the Bland agency have been
in that county for some time looking
after these cases, and finally landed the
guilty persons few days ago. The
names of the dealers are James East
wood, j. M. Rowe, A. j. Gloss, L. M.
Kemp and J. A. Taliaferro.
William Penn was once urging a man
he knew to stop drinking to excess,
when the man suddenly asked: "Can
you tell me of an easy way to do it. 4"
EYES," replied Penn, readily, cit is
just as easy as to open thy hand, friend. 4"
Convince me of that" the man ex-
claimed, "and will promise upon my
honor to do as you tell me-" "Wen,
my friend" Penn answered, when
thee finds glass of liquor in thy hand
open that hand before the glass touches
thy lips, and thee will never drink to
excess again" The man was so struck
with the simplicity of the great Quaker's
advice that he followed it and reformed.

HAVE YOU GOODS TO SELL?

From the first of Novembert to Christ
mas has always been recognized as the
particular season for advertising, and is
perhaps the busiest of the year with
the merchants. 1t is season when
every man in the mercantile business is
reaching out for the trade that makes
the years ledger show a balance on the
right side, and the wise man leaves no
stone unturned to do this. If you have
goods or wares, or any old thing, to sell
It is the part of wisdom to advertise
them, and do it now. If you fear to
spend dollar or two in printers ink
you will lose many other dollars and
have your goods on hand after Xmas.
If you sell at all then it will be at the
sacrifice of many dollars.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch says:
''In one city in Georgia nine churches
four Baptist, four Presbyterian and one
Unitarian-are bidding for pastors, and
in the entire State no less than two
hundred churches are in the same pre-
dicament. The Dispatch should have
additionally stated that no Methodist
church in the South is wanting a pastor.
Yet they cry out in foreign quarters
against our itinerant system-Raleigh
Christian Advocate. The itinerant sys-
tenn has stood the test and has proven
itself to be good. 1t provides every
preacher with a church and every
church with a preacher. 1t is strange
that it has not been adopted by some
other denominations.
Almost forty years ago a missionary
of Jesus Christ was climbing the stairs
of a miserable tenement house in lower
New York. Meeting a quarrelsome
woman who disputed his passage, he
gently asked, Madam do you know
Jesus? 2" Upon the floor of room a
few feet away there lay a young man
just aroused from drunken sleep. He
heard the question, and it recalled the
name he had once loved, now almost
forgotten. Pulling himself together he
accosted the missionary. saying: 81

ago but lost Him. ] wish / knew
where to find Him." Four years from
that day the reclaimed drunkard and
ex-convict opened the famous Water
Street Mission, better known to every
Christian worker throughout these
United States, and in every corner of
the world where the name of Christ is
known and honored, as the old Jerry
McAuley Water Street Mission, where
thousands of fallen, degraded men and
women have been helped to help them
selves. in His Name For years the
work went on under Jerry McAuley's
leadership, and when he died, his faith

Cremorne Mission on West Thirty second
