news came to tAis city by way of Canada. and the

traders to draw OF all heavy business in the live stock
trade from the United States shippers here however

Shippers were of opinion that if any such action had
been taken by the English government official notice
of the would have been received at Washington.
as otherwise great injustice would be DONE Mr.. I.
G. Eastman. of the largest exporters Of cattle,
said he had received cable despatch from England
on Thursday in which it intimaed that such an
order would soon be issued. During the winter
he did not intend to export much live stock,
previous experience had taught him that all such
business would have to be done at loss. If the
British government had issued the order alluded to
then the expectation of cattle would and lower
prices for beef would reign here.


Mr.. Phillips, the agent of Goldsmith 4 Toney. of
the New Jersey Central Stock Yards. said that the
business during the last season was SO successful
that several Shippers had made arrangements with
the steamship companies to carry live stock at
tain rate per head during the of 1S79 and if
the report Of the decision of the British govern
ment proved correct heavy loss would accrue to
the steamship companies. He added that two con-
sgnments of live stock sent by his firm had arrived
at Liverpool on Thursday, and he thought if the
British government had prevented their landing
the agent OF his firm ut that place would
have informed him Of the fact. During the
past two years more than one hundred and fifty
thousand head of cattle had been shipped from this
country to England and, he said il this report were
true then the cattle would have to be slaughtered
here and sent in that way to England.


The agents of the National and Anchor lines of
steamships treated the report with derison. To-day
Of the vessels of the Anchor line will carry out
seventy-fve head Of cattle for London and during
the early part of the coming week the steamship
Canada, of the National line, will sail for London,
having on board nearly two hundred head of cattle.


At the Office OF the British Vice Consul official
information had been received Of the promulgaton
of the order.


At the Produce Exchange the report considered
a hoax emanating from traders in Canada and the
opinion expressed that even if it were true. it
would be beneficial to American shippers, who could
send the dead meat to London and have the benetof

The Prince Of Wales made his debut in
English political life yesterday by Offering a
bill in Parliament allowing man to marry
his deceased wifes sister. Although he has
been a member of the House of Lords for
some sixteen years, this Is the first time that
Albert Edward has ever risen in that body to
propose any measure. Jealous as the Eng
lish are against all appearances of personal
government, the royal family of England
have to be extremely careful in not express
ing themselves too freely on poll tical ques-
tions. The Prince OF Wales, however, in his
maiden effort took care not to touch on any
matter Of political dispute, and handled a
subject that could scarcely arouse any pre-
iudice against him. The English law against
marriage with a deceased wife's sister is
stupid provision that the English House of
Lords hang on to only because it Is believed
to be ancient. There is nothing In the Bible,
nothing in law or common sense, to warrant
any such prohibition, and nowhere except In
England could such a law continue SO long In
force.

Our telegraphic reports yesterday stated
that the Cincinnati Enquirer would publish
on May highly important special dispatch
from Washington, which purported to express
the conviction that the administration had
abandoned it's ''stalwart' policy; that 1t
would endeavor to make the financial record
of the Secretary of the Treasury the party's
vantage ground In the presidential campaign
of 1880; practically that Hayes Is determined
to throw the support Of the administration In
favor Of the candidature of John Sherman
that the President convinced Of the firm de-
termination OF the stalwart element to nom
mate Grant, proposes to defeat the third term
movement, and ruin Conkling in revenge for
his bitter hostility to the administration,
which the distinguished Senator from New
York once said he could "sink in infamy." A
part OF the Enquirer n special relates to a
programme wherein Sherman is expected to
accept the gubernatorial nomination In Ohio.
and III successful in the election 1t Is believed
that this will make him a candidate for the
Presidency'-in other words secure him the
Republican nomination.


We think the views Of our Cincinnati con
temporary are rather premature, and that
while they may deserve more than passing
consideration, the many possible political
contingencies which may arise between now
and the time of the session Of the Republican
Nominating Convention render the political
calculations of the present altogether unre-
liable.


The predictions of Mr.. Hayes for John
Sherman as presidential candidate
have long been made manifest. Graft
tude Is an element not wanting id
the character Of our Chief Magistrate. In
fact, among all bis shining virtues, it is the
most brilliantly conspicuous. He has shown
a remarkable discrimination in selecting
those who helped him to get the Presidency
for the bestowal of his special official favors.
Mr.. Sherman rendered the most efficient SER
vices in that business, and received as his
direct reward from Hayes the first position
in his Cabinet, with an apparent promise in
addition that the entire influence and power
OF the administration would be used to help

1hrsttsng Story of a Shipsvreck-4 Distress


sng Disaster in Chesapeake Bay.
A terrible story of shipwreck and death
comes from Smiths Island, in the Chesapeake
Bay: about ninety-fve miles from Baltimore,
by which ten men lost their lives. The schoon-
er Adamantine, belonging to Thomas Moore.
has been missing, with her entire crew (Cap,
tain Horace D. Baker and eight men), since
January I'd, at which time she was seen off
Point Lookout, trying to beat into harbor
Inc pody OF man was also reported found
lashed to spar on Smiths Island about a
week after, and was supposed to be that of
Captain Baker. The owner of the vessel, Mr..
Moore, made every effort to find out her fate
and to-day received information that she had
sank IN Hedges Straits, near Smiths Island.


Ihe story Is thrilling one. Thursday, the
"a, WILL be remembered as day of intense
cold. Late in the evening the residents of
Smith Island saw the masts of vessel above
the water OFT shore. In the topmast could be
seen the form of a man making signals to those
on shore by shaking the sail. On account Of
the violence of the gale it was impossible to
render h1na assistance, and night soon obscured
him from sight. Next day he was still in the
topmast and making signals, but without avail.
as no one would venture out. Saturday and
Sunday the same condition of affairs continued.
the efforts to attract attention growing fainter
each day. On Monday they ceased, and soon
after the sea went down, enabling those on
shore to reach the vessels masts


The man in the top was dead, lashed to the
mast. The hull of the vessel was under water.
and on her deck, lashed down with ropes, were
seen through the clear water the bodies of nine
men. The corpse bound on the mast, who it is
now thought was Capt. Baker, was taken
down and buried on shore. The bodies of the
others were subsequently recovered and also
buried ON the shore. Near the sunken schooner
! was the wreck of the steamer Express, which
| told the cause of the unfortunate affair.


Ihe Adamantine had been caught in furious
gale and driven headlong before it. Unable to
save themselves the crew had lashed themselves
to each convenient object, Captain Baker tax
ing to the topmast. In this helpless condition
| the vessel had run on the wreck of the ill-fated
Express, and gone down with her load of human
frelght. The schooner was SO badly broken by
the Ice and the collision, that no effort will be
made to raise her. The names of the eight men in
the crew are unknown, Though the ninth body
Is known to be that of hand on the schooner
Merchant, who, being sick, had been placed on
board the Adamantine to be brought to Balti-

Captain Baker was about fifty-fve wears old.
and native of Philadelphia. where he has a
wife and daughter living. The Adamautine
was valued at 81 l,500 and was uninsured. The
cargo, which consisted of about 1850 bushels

tainly; beosuse they are the only temporal


meroies actually needfal to enable us to make


our pilgrimage decantly from the City Of


Destruction to the Celestial City. All else


is mere surpIusage. God may entruss more


to us--much more even to some people. But


he does not g5Us more. He merely confdeS
it-entrusts it--lends it, and requires that it
shall be used in His service, as an agent or
steward uses his Masters property. And
it is only on the basis OF this teuth that we
can understand the admonition: clay not
up for yourselves treasures on earth, but lay
up for yourselves treasures in heaven" )" The
man who only gets "bi5 board and clothes"
never lays up treasures on earth. But the
man who BY earnest prayer gets strong faith,
increase Of grace, increase Of zeal, increase
of spiritual JOY, is making an investment of
treasure in heaven on which he will be able
to live in perfect comfort through eternity!


Now, if God has not promise@u us any tenn
poral blessings in answer to prayer except
food and raimont, II logically follows that if
We pray for any other temporal good beyond
these, we cannot be certain that we shall re-
ceive it. And herein consists the wide dis.
tinction between prayer for spiritual bless
ings and prayer for temporal blessings. The
first are certain in the granting, the last are
contingent only--that is, completely depend
eut on the wisdom and the will of God; the
conclusions Of which wisdom and will are ut
terly concealed from US as to temporal things.
And it has long been settled in the law of
thought that the difference between the GER
tain and the contingent is as wide as the in
finite distance between God and man. Thus,
then, the distinction between prayer for spir-
itual good and prayer for temporal good is
perfectly established, and when the learned
writer Of Science and prayer" asserts that
there is no distinction between them he is
invited TO study and reflect
farther on the subject.


The apostle James in his epistle gives US
the rule as to prayer for temporal good: "For
that, ye ought TO say, If the Lord wiU."-
Prayer for faith and zeal may be offered
without any auch formula; prayer for tenn
poraI benefits is always subject to the con-
tngenoy, if the Lord will. Dec 0Olente.
