Aprl7-7iJ.vl ROAD 8TKEHT w\\ CRACKejQ w On Tuesday, 24th of June, the Inman steamship "City of Washington" sailed from Livcrpaoi hound for New York. On the afternoon of Saturday, 5tii of July, the steamer struck on the coast of Nova Heotia, while every one on board thought that she was holding 011 her course several hundreds of miles south of that point. Navigation is surely becoming one of the lest arts when a shipwreck like this is possible in these days of finely graduated instruments, improved log lines, and closely calculated movements of machinery. We are told that from the time the vessel left Liverpool, neither sun nor stars could be seen, that observations were therefore impossible, and the keeping of the ship's reckoning virtually a thing of hazard. When ■ the vessel struck on the West side of Port le Bear at 2 o'clock on Saturday the fog was so dense that no object could be seen three yards ahead. This being so, why w;Ds the vessel being urged on her course at the rate of nine miles an hour, and why was the very ordinary precaution of throwing the lead employed V The position of the ship was purely conjectural and it was" just as likely that she should bo near land as 000 or "00 miles distant from it. Everything was in favor of averting a serious disaster on Saturday ; the sea was calm, the part of the coast where the ship struck shelved oft'into shoals instead of being girdled with sunken and pointed rocks. What we call mere chance saved the '-'City of Washington" from a fato as teirible as that of the lost "Atlantic."

Then she lies awake for two more nights endeavoring to determine whether it shall he red or blue. She fixes on blue. (She buys the trimming and sews it on in seventy different positions, her mind filled with deepest anxiety as to whether the feather should go on the right side, or on the left, or on tCp. She puts it on the right side, but just then Mrs. Brown passes the front window with a feather on the left side of hei's, and so she changes it. The next morning Mrs. Ferguson calls, and her feather is on tiie right side, and then another change is made. At church the next day, Mrs. Smith has feathers on both sides, and Mrs. Johnson had one on top. Then more sleepless nights and more painful uncertainty. At last, in utter despair she takes the hat to the milliner and pays $10 to have it tiimmed. When it comes home she pronounces it "hateful" and picks it to pieces, and broods over it, and worries and frets and 1C ses her appetite, and feels to be a but den for two weeks longer, until suddenly she has just the right thing, and becomcs once more serene and happy, and puts the hat on and goes out and makes millions of other women miserable because their hats are mt trimmed exactly like lier's. As a wife, woman is a blessing ; as a mother, she is an inestimable iioon ; as an organizer of Spring hats, she is simply an object of Hotels and Restaurants |/i it. SI NCljAlli, J J.

" There is something," ho said, "Asiatic and gigantesque in the American mind. It demands great fortunes, sudden reputations. It shrinks from no moral or physical danger. It despises slow processes of intellectual growth and the old method of accumulating wealth by the slow processes of selfdenial. It would leap to the goal 6f Its desires at a single bound. Our rest is but a change of excitement; our amusements are pursued with (he energy of despair. In reforms, in benevolence, in missions,"we are not content unless we transcend all past experience, and 'a nation is born in a day.' We are in turn the most temperate and the most self-indulgent people in the world. Wo are equallyeager in the pursuit of gain and profuse in its expenditure."

His friend, his lover, Lord Brooke, says of him, that in his youth there was nothing to distinguish him from the man who was afterwa* d the hero of Europe. The same gravity, the same solidity, belonged to him then as afterward. It is remarkable that some of the better English people have been the same.

This was natural enough at that time, but the discussion of the tame idea in Tennessee today is not natural. It in said that Beotionaiists —who would doubtless indignantly repulse that title—are deprecating the selection of Northern teachers, because they are "by birth, surroundings, and education so inoculated with anti-American ideas that tliry cannot by any means be eradicated that "they will always inevitably teach false ideas to Southern people and that "they have an invincible ignorance of Southern tastes, feelings, and wants." The best, most sensible-citizens do not of course .hold these views, and editors mention them to disagree ; but that they should bo held at all is a curious illustration of the longevity of prejudice.
