Few people realize the full evil of an
Interruption. few people know all that


rs implied by it. Florence Nightingale


says: eff we consider as with sick as


with well, every thought decomposes


some nervous matter, that to obtrude


another thought upon the brain whilst


it is in the act OF destroying nervous


matter by thinking, is calling upon it to


make q new exertion, we shall remem-


Der that we are doing positive injury by


interrupting. If the invalid is forced


by his avocations to continue occupa-


tions reqiring much thinking, the injury


is doubly great. If you offer the brain


q thought, especially one requiring a


decision, abruptly, you do it a real, not


fanciful injury. This rule applies to


the well quite as much as to the sick. I
have never known persons who exposed
themselves for years to constant inter
ruption who did not muddle away their
intellects by it at last. The process,
with them, may be accomplished with
out pain. With the sick, pain gives
warning of the injury" interruption
is an evil to the reader which must be esti-
mated very differently from ordinary
business Interruptions. The great ques-
ton about interruption is not whether
it compels you to divert your attention
to other facts but whether it compels
you to tune your whole mind to another
diapason. Suppose a reader perfectly
absorbed in his author, an author be-
longing very likely to another age and
another civilization entirely different
from ours. If you are reading. in the
daytime in a house where there women
and children, or where people can fas-
ten upon you for pottering details of
business, you may be sure that you will |
not be able to get to the end of the pas
sage without in some way or other being |
rudely awakened from your dream, and
brought back into the COM
mon world. The loss intellectually is
greater than any one who had not suf-
tered from it could imagine. People |
think that an interruption is merely the
of an electric chain, and |
that the current will flow, when the
chain is hooked on again, just as it did
before. TIE the intellectual and imagi-
native student an interruption is not
that !; it is the destruction Of picture.

The benefit which fowls derive
from eating charcoal is, believe,

he was forced to meet me in deadly
strife.


he did not recognize me until We
were face to face upon the open field.
Then his heart failed him. He fell

until the ship reached Jamiea.
There she was released, doubtless at
the price of keeping silence as to her
wrongs, and there she appears to
have disappeared from the living
world. God grant that her unmer-
tied suferings have won her 3 place
in His kingdom, and when I die may
I at last meet her for whose sweet

NEW YORK, Dec. %.


The Tribune tomorrow will publish
n second letter from Randolph A.
Welthaus, .r., who was Il passenger
on the ill-fated steamer Vile du
Havre. 1t is written to his father in
this city. He writes as follows: "In
my last, gave you sketch of my
experience and connection with the
sinking of the Vile du Havre. l will
now give you my opinions concerning
the cause of the accident. From all
| can gather from the officers and
men, conclude the blame lies entire
ly with the officer on watch on the
steamer, whose duty it was to get
out of the LOchern's way; and
it appears that instead of doing this,
he did the very opposite, altering the
course Of the steamer SO as to run
right across the bow of the Lochern-
at least, so says the officer on watch
on the latter boat ut the time of the
collision. In any case it is an ac-
knowledged rule at sea that a steamer
is bound to get out of the way of sail
ing vessels. The night was magnif-
Gently clear and calm, ,and the accident
can only have occurred through some
ineXcusable blunder of those in charge
of the steamer. After the accident if
it can be called SUCH had occurred,
and while the ship was sinking, the
officers and crew behaved in a most
cowardly manner. The latter ! know,
and therefore l believe that they only
looked out for themselves and left the

themselves, the only exception saw
being Mr.. AudmOnt, whom | saw,
three or four minutes before the ship
went down, going below. l told him
he would not have time to get up
again, to which he answered that he
must look after those who were crush
ed in their staterooms. He never
came up again. A subsequent fact is
that not a single passenger was taken
from the sinking ship by the boats, all
being picked up in the water, while at
least twenty of the officers and crew
reached the LOchern without wetting
their shoes. OF captain Surmonts
conduct / know nothing. Those who
saw him spoke well Of him, and don't
think he is directly to blame for the
collision, although he is to blame for
not having his crew under better de-
cipline, and for not having his boats
in condition to be promptly lowered.
In great contrast with the demoraliz-
ed condition of the crew was the eX-
ceeding GOODNESS of the passengers,
even women and children. No scream
ing and running about with our wo-
men. They were in knots praying
quietly, while the men were looking
around for pieces of wood, or were
making efforts to get one of the boats,
which the crew had abandoned, clear
of the ship, so that it might float
before the vessel sank. Language
fails in expressing my admiration of
the gallantry and generosity of officers
and crew of the Lochern and of the
Trimountain. The former saved the
greater part of us from watery grave,
both gave us clothing and did all in
their power to make us comfortable.
The French crew, on the contrary,
were u mob Of brutes and cowards.' y

The Legislature Of our State has fol-

which the property Of one man could

otherwise than disastrous, and yet
there Is howl in the localities that
have not had time to get into debt,
against the repeal Of the act. One en-

repeal is illegal, because "the legisla-
ture cannot pass a law impairing the
obligation of contracts" and contracts

Under the above heading appeared last
Saturday night most ably written appea
TO our adopted German fellow-citizens, in'
viting them to vote our Conservative ticket
and reminding them at the same time of the
great importance that 10 registered voter
should neglect his duty on the day of elec
ton.


We regret that space and time forbid us to
give full translation Of this excellent docu'
ment, which was drawn up by number OF
our most respectable German citizens, and
which throughout is kept in calm and per-
s,lasive tone, which is the best proof of an
honestsand deep conviction.


With the frankness for which our German
friends deserve SO much credit they confess
themselves friends Of the emancipated negro
race. They sincerely wish 10 promote their
social and moral elevation, yet they most
soemAy protest against pushing them forci.
bly into an unnatural and undeserved posi-
ton, in which they only serve as tools IN
the bands of unprincipled men, whose reck.
less teachings will lead the ignorant and un-
educated negro into conflict with his white
EMPLOYERS and friends, and thus give rise to
disastrous collisions which must inevitably
result in the ruin of our State. ,-r.,.
To illustrate their forcible argument the
authors of the appeal point to the lamenta-
BILE condition of those OF the southern States
which are subjected to the rule of the lgno-
rant and misguided negro.


As the only way to escape from similar,
unnatural, and most rrinous state of affairs
in our State, and to prevent in our city the
financial and social calamties OF the untor'
tunate, once SO prosperous, city Of Ne"
Orleans, they advise their German fellow,
citizens to be like one man at their post on
the day of election and thus to tulilla sacred
duty towards their adopted home.


The appeal concludes with weIl-deserveo
tribute aud high mark of esteem towards
their nominated representative in the Legs
lature, Mr.. LovensteiD.


We are much pleased with the good anc
noble spirit prevailing omong our German
fellow-citizens.
