The recent catastrophe in the oay of Yedo
oughtto be the subject of serious inquiry on the
part of the American government, and there
fore deserves more than a passing mention.
That the English steamer BOm6ay on the night
of the 28th of January 1870, on a starlit, storm
less night, in deep water channel several miles
in width, collided. with the American man-of-
war Oneida, causing her to sink in about twenty
fathoms of water, and besides entailing her loss
also caused the untimely death of one hundred
and twelve men, is historical fact; that after
applications to IA British tribunal tor British US
tice, the commander of the Bombay was sus-
pended for six months is also true. This is
- benefit of clergy" with a vengeance. The
evidence brought before the court Of nvestiga-
tion-which court by the way composed OF
brother ottcers-was sufficient to hang before
an impartial jury. The records of maritime loss
OF life show nothing TO surpass the inhumanity
of this great crime. The statements of Eyre
himself ought to satisfy the impartial mind.
Nothing is lacking TO show, that in leaving the
Oneida he knew he was leaving a sinking ship.
When Captain Eyre says, although under oath,





that he did not hear the guns which were fired
but short distance from him yet were heard
distinctly twenty miles away, we don't believe
him. The steward oc the BomJdy stated, on ar
riying at Yokohama, that they had run down a
ship and cut her in to the waters edge and that
be could see the men carrying some person on
deck. Eyre himself on arriving in port that
night made the brutal boast to another Eng
lish officer that he @ had cut the whole quarter
of Il id Yankee frigate and served her bloody
well right" What complications may result
can not be known. Nations do not often 90 to
war because of such occurrence, bat should
justice not be done, and the British captain go
unhung, the fact will rankle in the hearts of the
American people, perhaps to burst forth upon
the very first pretext.

The following particulars are given of
the death of a wOodsawyer employed by
railrood company at Edgarton, o.;
The man was engaged in eording up
wood that had been sawed alongside the
track, and was standing upon the pile as
the lightning train was seen approaching,
The man glanced at the track and noticed
a large stick of wood lying upon one of
the rails, and instantly, it would seem,
realized the danger to the train unless the
stick was removed from the track. The
train was then so near that the man must
have known that the attempt toremove
the obstruction would imperil his life, but
he did not hesitate; jumping from the
woodpile to the side of the track close by
the rail, he seized the billet of wood had
raised it from the ground, and was lifting
it with his body from over the rail when
the locomotive struck him, hurling him
and the stick Of wood some distance, and
he fell to the ground mangled and hfeless.
There is no doubt that the train would
have been thrown from the track had not
the billet of wood been removed, and the
damage that would have resulted no one
can estimate loss ofproperty and perhaps
of life

FEMALE BEAUTY The man who does
not admire beauty in woman is not properly
constituted His heart cannot be in the
right place. For ourselves, We often time
our walks so as to meet the troops ofyoung
girls on their way to or from school. The
sight of them does US good. The clear COM
plexions, bright eyes, red lips, indicate
health and happiness. No cosmetics there!
They have not get arrived at that stage.
The powerful beauty may be more oiStiague
than the young girl whose cheeks are pain
ted by nature, but she lacks the ineffable
charm of freshness which men find so fascin-
atiDg. In our opinion no lady adds to her
beauty by the use Of cosmetics. She may
make herself more brillinant. but the clear
rich blood that comes aud goes in the cheeks
of the rustic beauty is infinitely preferable.
