NEW YORK, May 9th.-The details
of the Schiller disaster have been COM
ing to the London office all day. No
more persons are reported saved. The
total number of lives lost are 81.
From all information received it
seems no blame can be cast on Capt.
Thomas. A thick fog prevailed for
several days ana the Captain was on
the deck day and night. The steamer
struck al 10 p. NJ. A terrible panic
ensued. A heavy sea was running
and most of the boats were swamped
on launching. Guns were fired and
rockets sent up, but they were sup
posed by those on shore To be ordinary
signals of arrival A considerable
amount of mail matter was saved.
The crew behaved badly, rushing to
the boats and taking possession,
though it is doubtful if they could
have been of much service in any
event, owing to the heavy surf.

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell ali their Spring goods at less than
cost land Others, such as cottOns, table
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. al6

EXPORTING LIVE CATrIE.-Boston papers

first experiment in shipping live cattle from

was made in consequence Of the high price

very satisfactory. The cattle 100 hendl ar

high prices. They were pronounced fully
equal in qunlitv to the best Scotch cattle.

look at it merely as general question and on

Q.-Do you think the Presidents letter was

to have seen it expressed in different language,
as he had not spoken before on the subject he
has expressed himself very fully.


Q-What do you think of the statement that
he no more wanted third term than he
wanted the first?


A-Wel,I 1 think that was merely an ex-
preston (hesitatingly.) l think from what |
saw and all heard, Gen. Grant behaved with
great prudence and prOpriety in his
acceptance of third term. | do not
think he took mnch action in reference
to the campaign of i72 He felt that he had
incurred great deal OF opposition and as there ere
was class of men strongly against him he felt
that he wanted the approval OF the country in
self justification.


/ don't think Gen. Grant intended anything
by this letter, more than to give people to un-
derstand he was not candidate for the third
term, and L believe his statements are rather
explanatory of his position. l think that if he
had spoken sooner this explanation might not
have been necessary. L think he felt on ac-
count of this some necessity to explain his
views very plainly. l accept his letter as an
honest declaration that he IS not seeking
third term, and think that the men who are
advocating it are doing great injury to the Re

In connection with the recent Inauguration of the

to learn that the sculptor Won Bandc has also executed


life size statue in marble OF Thusnelda the unfortu
wife OF the ancient German hero This statue was
finished in 1S43, and in possession Of the Prince
of Lppe. The moment represented by Won Bande in
first led before the Roman conqueror after her capture
when according 10 Tacus 'she stood in calm and COL
lected silence her folded her breast" The
attitude Of the figure indicates stern resignation to

A bust brought from Rome to England, and known as
''the head OF gladiator, is supposed by students
ofarchaology TO represent Thumecus the son Of Armn
and Thusneda 1t was the custom among the ancient
Romans to honor their dead gadiators-those who had
especially distinguished themsclves-by erecting
memorial statues. This bust, marked as a gladiator
by the short hair and mustache is of a man Of no
common order The youthful face is that of a noble
and brave warrior, whose life had been blghted by
some great sorrow.


There is remarkable resemblance between the raca
of this bust and that Of the statue in the Loggia at
Florence, known the ''Da del SenZion and sup
posed by archeoogsts to represent Thusneda; and
this, combined with other evidences leaves but little
doubt that the sad face Of this young gladiator is that OF
the unfortunate son OF the great Arminus H. s. Q.
