THE LARCHM0NT DISASTER.

We pick up the papers, read OF
some terrible disaster by land or 10y
sea. and they come so thick and fast
that we simply read OF these terrible
catastrophes perhaps like any Other
news. The telephone and telegraph
have brought US in such quick COM
munication with these thrilling disas-
ters that we have become, as 1t were,
accustomed to them. But even with
this condition OF affairs, no one can
read OF the Larchmont terrible dis
aster without a shudder. Some one
was to blame, but who? 1t was Just
awful. Without warning, without
notice, men, women and children,
who had confded themselves to the
keeping of the officers aud crew OF
this boat, were awakened to the hor-
rible realization OF death-death by
drowning or freezing. Within the
last few months, the earthquake,
railroad collisions, fire and steam
boat accidents have wrought fearful
havoc with human life. How this II
to be avoided no one can tell, but
something must be done to make lie
better protected on the railroads and
steamboats,. What that shall be we
can not tell.
