AN OCEAN DISASTER.
One Hundred and Thlrty.flra Soula
% Vhat the Captain 8ay .
A dispatch from Farther Point , May
7th , says : The steamship "Titanla"from
Glasgow , passed Inward this mornlnp. 8ho
nad on board twenty-four of the crew of
the steamship "State of Florida , " that
vessel having been sunk by collision with a
? i ? ? 0tmldocean' Out of 107 persons on
, the
* "State of Florida" only , forty-four
* were saved , and of the bark's crew only the
captain and two men were rescued. One
. r d and twenty-three souls went down
1.1
win the steamer and twelve with the bark ,
making a total loss of 135.
The passengers and crow rescued from
, e 'State of Florida" state that the steam-
A , ship "City of Home" passed them while on
board the ship "Louisa" and answered
their signals , but did not stop.
The captain of the "Nevada" gives the
lolloping : On Monday noon , In latitude
42,60 , longitude 47,25 , while on the way
irom New York to Liverpool , being four
days out , we collided with the "Romano , "
belonging to the Wilson line. We struck
the ship on the port side , nbout nmidship ,
bursting Into her engine room. The ' 'Ro
mano" sunk in less than an hour , rfeir
passengers came on board in her own boats.
There was i heavy swell at 'the time. Our
bows were beaten in from the forefoot to
the deck. When the cargo had been shift
ed and temporary repairs effected , we bore
up lor St. Johns. On Sunday we fell in
with the "Saint Laureat" and transshipped
ped the passengers of the "Romano" and
her crew and our own passengers to that
ship.
ship.Bennctt
Bennctt one of the survivors of the
State of Florida , stated that Just before one
of the boats was lowered some one cut the
falls too soon and the boat emptied all the
passengers into the sea. He. with five
others , climbed on the keel and Bat there
all night. Underneath the boat were a
number of former companions , all of whom
were found dead the next morning. A.
small number of passengers were saved.
He attributed the rapidity with which
the State "of Florida went down to
the fact that the captain , who appar
ently did not realize the position of af
fairs , made no endeavor to get the passen
gers into the boats. Though the surviving
officers are very reticent as to the responsi
bility for the accident , the impression seems
to be that the steamship is to blame. The
men on the keel of the boat were picked off
the next morning by their former compan
ions In other boats. They saw the bark
upside down which collided with them.
The boats with the survivors kept together
and on Saturday morning sighted a sail ,
but could not hail the vessel. They were
picked up the next day by the ' 'Theresa , "
bound for Quebec.
THE CROP OUTLOOK.
What is Shown bv Returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The returns to the department of
agriculture for May make the prospect
nearly as favorable as in April. Then the
general average was within 5 per cent of
the standard of fullcondition. The May
average is 94. It was 83l in 1883. Barring
changes in the future , the winter wheat
product is about 350,000,000 bushels. The
temperature of April has been lower than
usual , and low lying lands have been sat
urated with moisture , retarding the growth.
"Well drained wheat soils nearly every
where are bearing a vigorous and healthy
growth. Few reports of injury by the fly
have been received , but the aggregate loss
from the insect will be triVal. Winter
wheat in New England is a scarcely appre
ciable quantity. Its condition is quite uni
formly high. The middle and southern
states will make an average ranging from
90 to 100. The Ohio basin makes a less
favorable showing with little differences in
the states on the north side of the river. The
states at large production will make the
following avprage 100 representing not an
average condition , but a full stand of
healthy plants of medium growth : New
York , 97 : Pennsylvania , 93 ; Kentucky , 99 :
Ohio , 85 ; Michigan , 85 : Indiana , 85 ; Illi
nois , 85 ; Missouri , 94 ; Kansas , 105 ; Cali
fornia , 95. Seeding of spring wheat is
nearly finished in Minnesota. It has been
delayed by heavy rains and the low tem
perature. In Dakota it is not yet comple
ted. Returns are made on the 1st of July.
Rye promises fully as well as wheat and
the general average will be 96. It is several
points higher than wheat in the principal
states of the west. The general average
lor barley is 101. It is 100 in New York ,
100 in Pennsylvania , 98 in Michigan and 103
in California. Meadows and pastures are
general I v promising , though failing to come
up to the. standard of healthy growth and
unimpaired condition. Spring plowing is
a little delayed bv the low temperature and
excessive moisture in undrained soils. In
the entire country it is two-thirds com
plete. Jn an averace year 72to 75per cent ,
should be done on the 1st of May.
Out in Arizona.
Hon. A. W. Sheldon , associate just
ice supreme bench of Arizona terri
tory , writes as follows : "It affords me
great pleasure to say , from my per
sonal observation , and you know the
scope of such has been very extended ,
that St. Jacobs Oil is the great and
wonderful conqueror of pain , the sov
ereign euro for all bodily aches and
pains , and I cheerfully bear this testi
mony. "
CLOSED ITS DOORS.
The Marine National Bank of New Tork
Puts Up Its Shutters.
The Marine National bank of New-
York closed its doors on * the 6th. A year
ago the bank purchased Booth's theater.
It is thought the failure is a bad one. The
capital of the Marine bank was $410,000.
Its statement on April 22d last showed a
surplus of $130,000 and undivided profits of
§ 62,345. JohnF. Fiskis the cashier. A
visit to the bank discovered some fifty disconsolate -
consolate depositors standing in the
pouring rain around the closed
doors. No admittance was given re
porters. No notice was posted on the door.
Tie bank opened at the usual time in the
morning , but before noon it closed abrubt-
ly.The immediate cause of the failure
was the hank's failure to meet its debts ,
about $500,000 , at the clearing house in the
morning. The cause lying behind this-is
presumed to be the real estate operations
of President James D. Fish during the
last year or two. Within that time he
bought Booth's theater and the Casino ,
and lias also recently been builnlng a large
apartment building , the "Mystic , " on
Thirty-ninth street. The reconstruction
of Booth's theater and the bulldinsr of the
"JIvetic" has taken a great deal of money ,
which he borrowed from thnbank.
Beware of the incipient etages of Consumption.
Tale PUo'8 Oure In time.
Congressmen's Pockets.
If some Adam Smith of household
finance would arise to teach a senator
or representative to live on $5,000 a
year lie would confer an everlasting
boon on many of the members * of the
States. Although
congress of the United
though Washington may be called a
cheap place to Jive in , and for $5,000 a
year a family can be supplied with
everything that reasonable persons de
sire , yet it must be remembered that a
congressman does not often get his
85 OQO in tact ; and besides that , there
are in Washington two scales of prices
one for permanent residents and one
for members of congress and foreign
diplomats. First come the election
expenses. Any congressman who
comes out less than $1,000 out of
pocket is considered lucky. Then
comes the journey of the family to
Washington for congress has not , yet
allowed mileage to members' families ,
although after the late private secre
tary indulgence nothing in the way of
perquisites need surprise anybody.
Next is the intermediary st ige of hotel-
living until a house cr lodgings are
found. Thus , before his lodgings are
secured and he begins to have an idea
of his monthly expenses , a large chunk
of the congressman's $5,000 a year is
gone.
It does not take him long to find out
that he can't do with his income as well
as other people do. If he is in lodg
ings his wife rnust have a reception-
day , and no matter how simple the
scale on which it is conducted , a waiter
must be hired to hand in the cards , and
there is usually some slight refresh
ments. If the wife of a representative
visits at all she has to visit a great deal ,
and visiting means a carriage. Then
there are occasional dinners , receptions
at the white house and elsewhere , which
is customary for representatives' wives
to attend , and that means costumes ,
gloves , and carriages. There seems to
bo a kind of clairvoyance among every
body in Washington who has anything
to sell or to hire to a member of con
gress or his family. The wives of
members generally become well known
to the trades-people before long , and
the butcher , the baker , the candlestick-
maker , the dressmaker , the bonnet-
maker , and the maker of everything
they eat and wear combine against the
representative's $5,000.
In the case of senators every circum
stance is aggravated. There being but
seventy-eight senators'and not all of
them paired , the senators' wives are
known as well as the Washington monument -
ument , and as most of them take infin
ite delight in having parcels addressed
to "Mrs. Senator Blank , " the innocent
creatures gives themselves away to the
shop-people. The women of sense who
are senators' wives , and who feel the
necessity of making their money go as
far as it ought , studiously conceal the
fact that they are senators' wives , when
they are "dealing , " as the negroes call
shopping.
"It is as much as my life is worth , "
said one , quite solemnly , "to go into a
shop. I can hardly come out alive.
They would take all my money ; they
would garrote me almost rather than
that I should come out with sixpence ,
and all because I married a senator. "

The Asteroids.
Providence Journal.
A great astronomical feat has been
accomplished. The 235 asteroids that
noV revolve in what was formerly
called the great gap between Mars and
Jupiter , have all received names ,
though some of them have been wait
ing for years as nothing but numbers.
These straggling : members of the sys
tem have been discovered during the
present century , Ceres , the first in or
der of time , having been found in 1801.
They are a puzzle to astronomers , with
then ; eccentric orbits , small dimensions
and peculiar origin. There is no pres
ent means for knowing whether their
limit as to numbers has been reached ,
cr if larger telescopes may add thou
sands to the family. They are trouble
some , too , for they are always getting
lost or being discovered over again , so
that an irreverent German astronomer
suggests that the smallest of the crowd
should be allowedto travel at their own
sweet will and pursue their own paths
undisturbed by telescope or computer.
The asteroids are , however , fascinating
studies for some of our most distin
guished astronomers , who have suc
ceeded in picking out so many that a
new asteroid is no longer a novelty.

A Fatalist.
New York World.
Thomas Mahr , a man with one eye
black and the other red , with a check
ered coat and a comprehensive and im
pressive breath , stood in the Harlem
court.
"Mr. Mahr , " said. Justice Welde ,
"the" officer says you have been
drunk. "
"Me ? "
"Yes , Mr. Mahr , you. "
"Can the officer swear to it ? "
"He has done so. "
"Ah , yes ! I did'have a glass of
beer. "
So the.officer says , Mr. Mahr.
"Me ? "
"Yes , Mr. Mahr , you ! You were

" 1 did have one or two glasses of beer

"Mr. Mahr , you will sojourn for ten

The Art of House-Cleaning.
Harirord Post.
This is an art much studied but little
understood.
It is generally undertaken at this
season of the year by weak and feeble
woman , and during the process she
generally gets the best of strong and
healthful man.
Woman rips up all the carpets , opens
all the windows , sets a pail of hot
water and a bar of soap in the middle
of the floor , ties up her head in an old
apron and forgets all about cooking the
dinner.
Man goes home , sees the carpets on
the line , doesn't smell any dinner , gets
mad and goes back to the office with an
empty stomach.
This seems to be about all there is of
value in the art of house-cleaning.
PRESIDENTIAL FAYOK1TES.
Some Interesting Fact * Concerning the
Men Who Stand Cloiert to the
Chief ExecatiTe.
Visitors who , from Curiosity or busi
ness , have called at the White House ,
must have been impressed by the court
eous yet systematic manner with which
they were received and escorted
through the mansion. The gentlemen
whose duty it is to receive all persons
Doming to the White House are Colonel
E. S. Denmore , Mr. John T. Rickard
and Mr. T. F. Pendel , and they have
occupied their present positions
through the various administrations
since and , even during the war. Mr.
Fennel President Lincoln's
was body
guard ; saw him to his carriage the fa
tal night on which he visited Ford's
theater , and he now has in his posses
sion the blood-stained coat which Mr.
Lincoln wore on that memorable occa
sion. There is not a public man in
America to-day who does not know ,
and who is not known by , these gentle
men , and the reminiscences of public
and social life which they can.recount
would fill a congressional volume.
During the weary yet exciting years of
the war ; through the more peaceful
times of Grant's administration ; while
Hayes held the reins of government ,
and when Garfield was shot , it was
these men * who stood in the executive
mansion , welcoming the advent of each
new administration , bowing at its de
parture , and receiving both martyrs
through its portals.
During that long , hot and never to
be forgotten summer when President
Garfield lay between "two worlds , "
the nation became aware of the deadly
malarial influence which hung about
the White House. But all through
that period these three men never de
serted their posts for a single day , al
though each one was suffering intense
ly. In conversation with the writer ,
Colonel Densmore said :
"It is impossible to describe the tor
tures I have undergone. To be com
pelled to smile and treat the thousands
of visitors who come here daily with
courtesy when one is in the greatest
agony requires a tremendous effort.
All that summer I had terrible head
aches , heartburn and a stifling sensa
tion that sometimes took away my
breath. My appetite was uncertain
and I felt severe'pams in the small of
my back. I was" under the doctor's
care with strict instructions not to go
out of the house , but I remained on
duty nevertheless. You would be sur
prised to know the amount of quinine
I took ; on some days it was as much
as sixteen grains. "
"And was Mr. Rickard badly off ,
too ? "
"I should think he was. Why , time
and again we have picked him up and
laid him on the mantel , here in the ves
tibule , he was so used up. "
"Yes , " exclaimed Mr. "Rickard , "I
was so weak I could not rise after lying
down without help , and could only
walk with the aid of two canes , and
then in a stooping position. Oh , we
have been in a pretty bad condition
here , all of us. "
"And yet you are all the embodiment
of health , " said the writer , as he looked
at the three bright and vigorous men
before him.
"Oh , yes , " said Mr.Rickard , "we
have not known what sickness was for
more than a year. "
"Have you some secret way of over
coming malaria and its attendant horrors
rors ? "
"I think we have a most certain
way , " replied Colonel Densmore , "but
it is no secret. You see , about two
years ago my wife began to grow
blind , and I was alarmed at her condi
tion. She finally became so she could
not tell whether a person were white or
black at a distance of ten feet. One of
her lady friends advised her to try a
certain treatment that had done won
ders for her , and to make a long story
short , she did so and was completely
cured. This induced me to try the
same means for my own restoration
and as soon as I found it was doing me
good I recommended it to my asso
ciates and we have all been cured right
here in the stronghold of malaria and
kept in perfect health ever since by
means of Warner's Safe Cure. Now I
am not a believer in medicines in gen
eral , but I do not hesitate to say that I
am satisfied I should have died of
Bright's disease of the kidneys before
this had it not been for this wonderful
remedy. Indeed , I use it as a house
hold medicine and give it to my chil
dren whenever they have any ail
ments. "
"Yes , " exclaimed Mr. Pendel , " 1 use
it in my family all the while and have
found it the most efficient remedy we
have .ever employed. I know of "very
many public men who are "using it to
day and they all speak well of it. " '
"I 160 " said
weigh pounds to-day ,
Mr. Rickard , "and when my physicians
told me over a year ago I could not
hope to recover I weighed 122 pounds.
Under such influences you cannot won
der that I consider this the best medi
cine before the American people. "
The above statements from these
gentlemen need no comments. They
are voluntary and outspoken expres
sions from sources which are the high
est in the land. Were there the
slightest question regarding their au
thenticity they would not be made pub
lic , but as they furnish such valu
able truths for all who are suffering , we
unhesitatingly publish them for the
good of all.
At a late woman suffrage meeting in
London , Mrs. Scrachherds , of Leeds ,
said : "The attitude of the queen has
always seemed a marvel of inconsist
ency. To presume to be able to reign
and to deem her sex altogether inca
pable of unity and usefully participat
ing in public affairs seems arrogant ,
indeed. "
A prominent pastor writes to the
Christian Union : "I once delighted
in a lew flowers , and one or two em
blems , and in a cheerful anthem , but
have been compelled , regretfully , to
avoid anything unusual on Easter Sun
day , in order that there may be quietness -
ness , reality , and sincerity in the ser
vices. " *
Conductor Greer's Story.
Cambridge ( Ohio ) Jtffersonlan.
A few days ago a Jeffersonian re-
porier came upon a pleasant gentle
man from Wilmington , Ohio , who said
that his name was Greer , and related
the following : That he was conductor
of a passenger train which was wrecked
in a collision at what he called Raima's
Crossing , a place near Scott's mines ,
just east of town. The collision oc
curred by another train running off its
time at forty-flvo'miles an hour. His
train was going at the rate of but twelve
miles an hour , or the loss of life would
have been greater. As it was , several
people were killed. In one of the
coaches was a cousin of Mr. Greer. He
was found dead in one of the cars. No
bruise or mark of violence could be
found upon his body. He died from
fright. His hair and chin whiskers
were black , but when the body was dis
covered both hair and whiskers were
thoroughly white. The body was put
into a vault at Z-tnesville , and at the
final interment , in a month or two , hair
and whiskers had changed back to their
original blackness. The story was a
curious one , worth noting.
