People read almost daily in tbs newspapers
the announcement of death by drowning. The
announcement is so simple, so frequent andso
same-like that the reader easily passes on from
it, oaifeless of even nothing the usoal descrip
tion of the dead body and the drees it had on
-when found drowned. The words “Found
Dry—d" are often, however.
* | C Bft tMTATH,
of those "whose life and death, if the story
were told, would reveal the desperation of the
worst frailties of human nature, of unbearable
shame and grief, of the devouring remorse for
a wicked life, of men's acts who ieared neither
God nor mas, and in many cases would as
plainly shots the evils of intemperance and the
constant imminent danger of loss of life. It
is not a difficult task to follow in imagination
the
FOOTSTSTH or AS INTtINDIXO SUICIDE.
Tbs horrible state of mind in which the wn-
fartqnate man or woman, as the case .might
be, was goaded into frenzy must have been
worse far than the most cruel bodily suffering
that can be supposed. Be suioide » cowardly
act or not under any conceivable circumstan
ces—even supposing that in certain contin
gencies it could be considered as exhibiting
some chare of oourage—still, when the time
draws nigh for the destruction of one's self,
for the leaving behind even of every eorrowful
recollection of a passing hour of sunshine, the
relief of the river covers over,
aw ranarwon something
which it is appalling to contemplate. There
most needs be some dreadful grief breaking
the heart in the case of every suicide. The
proud man, broken down, discarded by old
companions; the unfortunate merchant, who
dreads the inevitable exposure; even the ri-
dionlous lover, who thinks life is worth noth
ing because he can't marry some particular
young lady, each has so heavy a load to bear
that despair seizes him and death becomes
perferable to life. But the few last hours of
all of them, while they are creeping toward
the water, looking at it and dreading it, but
still irresistibly attracted to its calm and cer
tain death, must be that a fc ony beyond en
durance, in which doom of the sickrned soul

Hart’s Island- Mctt distressing scenes ooeur
at the Morgue when the relatives and friends
of those wno are mfeting come to the dismal
receptacle to see if the absent father or sister
is "found drowned,” reported in the newspa
pers. The anxiety, grief and terrible agony
which is manifested on these oocasions is ren
dered all the more startling, owing to the sur
roundings of the plaoe. The stone slabs,
with the now lifeless bodies on them, the drip-
ping of the water on the bodies to preserve
the feeble lights which throw shad
ows all the time on the walls,
the blaokend walls and the dark tarpaulin
oovering thrown looaely over the oorpses,
all combine in heightening the feelings of the
melancholly visitors, and in imparting to the
living some of the terrors which the poor vic
tims themselves had experienced in the sud
den late that fell upon them. This is where
the last ot the “Found Drowned" is heard of.
Thu Coroner does his share of the work while
the body lies here and post-mortem examina
tions are made when believed to be necessary.
It is a melancholly fact that in the majority of
......... 0 ( accidental drowning the old story of
the rumbottle comes in. Deceased was last
seen hy hi* friends in the gin-mill. He left
the gin-mill alone, and bad taken a few drinks.
Nobody says it, but every one present knows
that the unfortunate man in his stupor walked
straight down to the river and walked in. Few
people are around the piers or at the foot of
open streets at one o'clock in the morning.
Had an eoemv poshed him in no one could
tell that ha had dona so, and the verdict is of
course “Accidental death by drowning."

A WORE TENDER SPECTACLE
is only too often to be seen in the suicide of
the young girl who is lost to the world io the
betrayal trom whilh she is suffering. Want,
destitution, no friends, no home, no hope; sor
row, pain and despair, all hers. She may Share
striven fully in the consciousness of her secret
to do a little; but what she lacks herself she
gets nobody to supply, and with the first evi
dence of the shame that is npon her, she is
scorned, never pitied. So she creeps to the
river, end, when all is silent .on the dock,
throws herself in, aod next day there is the usu
al ri-mswirjiinniit that, at such a places young
female was found drowned, dressed in such
a way, who seemed to have been very beauti
ful. Everybody knows tnis, and still how few
ever think of turning the young woman's face
from the grave. The charitable people are ell
in a state of pity when they hear her descrip
tion given as a tenant of the Morgue. At times
we have
THE BODY or AN UNKNOWN MAN OR AN UNKNOWN
WOMAN
foHnd drowned, and there are such marks up
on it that those who find it whisper that there
was foul play. The body is taken to the
Morgue, the Coroner notuieu. a post-mortem
held, and, whatever may be the suspicion,
there is still no absolute evidence to show that
these might not have been accidental marks.
BQt even the suspioion suggests tbs scene.
What a fearful cry for help that must have
been from the boat
OUT IN THE MIDDLE Or THE RIVER,
where three to one the attack was made, and
fhe terror of immediate death first horrified
the doomed man. How he struggled against
the iron grasp that bent his head under the
water and held it there till they thought he
war dead '. What a quick, disterted vision the
drowning man had ol those he loved and thus
was parted from ever 1 As the boat moved
Wwav the murderers would net look at each
either in the face, though they a ounli ail fain
foe snrer still that the drowned man could not
giae up from the water and charge them with
the deed. Next day, or within a few days,
the body floated to a pier and is picked up.
The police are summoned and from th* station
hr—ii word is sent to Police Headquarters,
thence to Mr. Kellogg, who sends an ambu
lance, and the body is taken to the Morgue,
where it is tegistared as “Found Drowned."
OTHER CLASHES
of drowning, in which loul play is dealt out,
might be easily enumerated, but tbe tales are
too full of suggest! veuesa of tbe most mortal
crimes to bear rehearsal. The darkness of tha
night aod tbe loneliness of the river, tbe im-
possibility of help and the surety of the mur
der, all ooaspire to make the blood run cold
as the scene is formed iu imagination. When
the yiettm is a woman, as the suspicion has
aonmihaee arisen concerning tenants of the
Mo^fhB; Xhe murderers' faces, while the deed
is being done, shine in their fury with demons
light, and attraot all the attention from tbe
female sufferer. There are numbers of people
who belle— that moro murders are done on
the rivers than can be traced.
THE FERRYBOAT.
It aot seldom happens that those inclined
to drown themselves choose a ferryboat,
whether by accident or deaign it would be im
possible to say. They may not have preri-
ourilr arrived at a definite conclusion — to
themhd or place, and they avail themselves
of the serve gathered from the ailuremeots
of tha inviting river and so take the jump.
Invariably the unfortunates are not saved, as
the boot moves over them and their bodies
-ink — love. on. of the number of tbe ‘found
drowned ' There is not, on ooe of the occa
sions, mnch to iospire the passengers on tbe
boat with tericr, for tbe poor suicide sinks
lag the final atraggie away Irom view. Yet
no one who has ever been on board a ferry
boat when a cam or suicide occurred but ev
er after remembers it. No one could hear tbe
bell eoand to tell the engineer to move on
after the vatu search for tho body, bat must
cast a wondering look at tbe piece where the
human life went down never to rise again,
and m tbe sad example of the dead brother
or tbe slat—moat melancholy thoughts must
arise, which ore an apiration for a peaceful
heart for one's self and one's own. In the
hurley-barley of the day's toils no more is
thought about tbe occurrence, but any oae
who baa once seen a person drowning or has
been essoeiateu with tbe occurrence will then
get alia* meaning fa* the words 'found
drewed.' There is always some strange asso
ciation of ideas connected with the deaths we
have witnessed. Not e year passes by at any
of the loading watering places of the
eoantry which is without a record of deaths

WORKINGMEN.
Mr. White states that the proportion of
poor or workingmen to the wealthier classes
in the number of the drowned is Beven to one.
This estimate he makes by judging of the ap
parel on the bodies, and the class of persons
who come to tbe Morgue to seek missing
friends who might be the “found drowned.”
THE MORGUE RECORDS.
While poring over the Morgue records in
making the compilation given above two
terrible disasters were brought strongly to
mind—one was the 12th of July riot, tbe oth
er the Westfield disaster. Under the date of
July 12, 1871 were thirty-three names, the
victims of the riot, who were taken to the
Morgue. These men were all recognized hy
their friends except two. Und?r date of July
31 there were thirty-two names, the victims,
being all recognized by their friends exoept
one. These pages hod their own significance.
RESCUING AND RESUSCITATION.
The Board of Health, as far bock os 1868,
took active steps toward having the apparatus
used in saving drowning persons placed ail
along the water front. Station houses for the
purpose were secured, and the polioe and oth
ers instructed in the use of the apparatus, as
well as in tbe most improved method of re
suscitating rescued persons. The long polls,
with a grapnel attached, and the ropes with
the weight are supplied abundantly along the
docks, and, in fact, at every important spot
along tbe rivers in the four counties. They
have been often used with advantage, but as
is obvious, their usefulness is confined to
THE HON. JOHN A. WIMPY.
He Pbofosbs to Howl, and Howls.
Some Questions for Gov. Smith.
To the Editors of the Herald :
My attention has been called to • remark
made by Gov. Smith to a committee appoint
ed by the colored convention lo wait upon
him and learn where certain lands were locat
ed in Georgia which he had in his apeeoh in
formed the convention could be bought on os
good terms as any in the State of Mississip
pi.
According to the report io your paper of
the 4th inst., it would seem his Excellency is
chafing for something to chaw, and has con
descended to lower himself from the eagle
heights of his stilted pre-em nence by alladiDg
to me as “that poor, miserable man, John A.
Wimpy.” And contending, as I do, that I
am in the possession of some of my
faculties, I proceed to put some rough
questions to his royal highness, and hope that
tbe attractions and the graces of his court
will not hava effect sufficient to deter him
from giving me and tbe people ot Georgia a
plain, honest answer, accompanied with an
ample explanation.
He is a royal king who wields his sceptre in
behalf of his people; and under the Persian
rule and toe Median mode of executing the
laws, every sword would leap from its scab
bard and remain unsheathed whilst one jot
or tittle of the Magna Charta had been
charged with violation, or held in open defi
ance. Therefore, os As Excellency has re
peatedly hinted to toe world that he will
jealously guard and protect the liberties of his
people—and assuming tbe position that
our “noble Governor” has not done
so, I submit to the candid judgment
of s fair minded people, if tbe laws
of Georgia have been enforced in toe follow
ing cases, viz; In toe county of Gwinett,
(being the nearest case lo the capital of the
State,) a band of Ku-klox in disguise, about
thirty in number, ou the night of toe 5th day
October last, just two days before the election
for members of toe Legislature, shot and
killed Andy Palmer, a colored man, shot and
wounded one other badly, whose name is
Daniel Barns; and badly beat two oolored
women, and burnt two eburoh houses belong
ing to the colored people. It is alleged
that Jack Ballow, George Fancy,
Moses McConnell, James Binefield,
and Fred Herring were a part of this dis
guised band of men, and were arrested upon
the affidavit of Daniel Barns, issued by A. E.
Buck, C. S. Commissioner, and upon in
vestigation before Ssid United States Commis
sioner, Jack Bellow, Moses Me McConnel,
and Geo. Yaucy were bound oyer to answer
the charge of a conspiracy at tbe next term
of tbe Circuit Conrt of the United States.
Now Sirs, Editors, His Excellency stated in
this interview with tbe colored convention
oommittee as foil -ws : “But about these ku-
klox stories. I desire to speak plainly, and I
want you to tell what I say to your people.
It has been my duty as Governor of Georgia
to carefully watch these things, and to jeal
ously guard tbe liberties of my people, and I
say to you, solemnly and assuredly, to-day,
that there baa not been a single ku klux out
rage in this State Bince I became Governor. ”
Now I am unwilling to believe for a moment
that His Excellency would mistake actual
facts with intention to do so ; and I am also
unwilling to think that, as Chief Executive
of Georgia, whose duty it is (as His Excellen
cy says) to oarefully watch these things,
those who may be in danger in the immediate | jj e has fallen asleep, at least
vicinity of the river front. At tbe ferry boats | re gard to the cases above cited, and they are
where there is always danger of accidents,
they have been found to be of value. Else
where, also, along the rivers both the rope
and poll have been successfully employed. It
is difficult, however, to find out accuaately to
what extent they have been used, as there is
no disposition on the part of the men who
have been conspicuous in lending help io
cases of distress to make any report to the
register. That they are useful and should be
oontinned, however, seems to be generally
conceded. Iu Europe great attention is paid
to the subject of life saving, especially at
places where there is large commercial inter
course. Organizations for the purpose are the
mle and not the exception. As to resuscita
tion, the rales in which the police are instruct
ed are very s mple, and most men engaged
for any length ot time on the wharves nave a
general idea how to treat a comrade who may
have been in danger. The following method
is one supposed to be sufficiently simple for
everybody to understand, and easy to put in
practice :
THE METHOD OF RESCUING.
To Clear the Mouth and tbe Track to the
Lungs.—On recovery from the wafer,instant
ly rip or cut all clothing free from about tbe
waist; stretch the body on the groand upon
its face, its right wrist beneath lta forebeai,
and a large hard roll of olotbiDg beneath tbe
pit of its stomach. Enwrap your fore finger
and thumb with your packet handkerchief,
with which to mop out the mouth, seize toe
tongue and hold it oat while an assistant
presses for half a minute with all his weight
upon that part of tha bask over the roll of
clothing.
Tae position gives complete drainage from
the stomach and chest to the mouth.
The pressure forces oat accumulations in
tbe stomach and throat, and so clears the
track for the air to reach the lungs.
This, so far, is but one step Dreparatory to
artificial breathing, and should not occupy
over one minute.
The Position of the Body for Artificial
Breathing.—Quickly turn toe body upon its
back, with its arm beside its head, and the
hard roll of Girthing placed beneath tbe ribs
so as to throw the pit of the stomach as prom-
ioantly forward os possible. The tongue
must bo kept held out os before during all the
future steps until (soorsry.
The Position of the Operator. - Kneel
astride the body, facing its bead, riace the
palms of yoar hands npon the most promt-
nent part of the riba, just below the pit of the
stomach, so that yonr Augers fit into the
grooves between tbe short ribs at tbe fore and
lows part of toe chest. At tbe same time
keep your elbows firmly against your sides.
Th* Motions of thk Operator.—Now,
asing yonr knees as a pivot, throw your whole
weight forward, and at the same time grasp
the waist, squeezing its sides together and
upward, os if you wanted to foroe the con
tents of tbs cheat out of the mouth. Let this
motion occupy you while you slowly count
one, two, three; then suddenly let go, count
once more, which it tour; that allows time
enongn for the ribs to spring bock into place;
then begin again, repeating the motions os be
fore. to tbs time of I, 2, 3, 4—1, 2, 3, 4—mak
ing each set of motions about ten or fifteen
limes n minute.
Thin is the entire process of artificial breath-
ng, and it most never be forgutten toot this
is tbs first and ohief, if not tha only reliance
Is tola way yon moke tbe body breathe until
it in able to take breath for itssU.
Othrs m.iw of Help.—Wmle the breath
ing is being dons for toe body it should be
stripped and each limb be thoroughly
robbed with the warm hands of some by-
glaring oner, showing beyond ell doubt or ct'
vil that personal rights have not only been
ruthlessly assailod and disregarded in this
State whose'clestinies, for tbe time, are in his
Excellency's keeping, but that a citizen of
this proud commonwealth has been assassin
ated by a band of lawless brigands, who have
stained their sacreligious and murderous
hands with the blood of innocent victims;
and when, I ask m the name of justice and
hnmani'.y, or where is the effort that has been
made, on tbe part ot tbe State authorities to
bring these bloody assassins to punishment ?
When was the proclamation published offer
ing a reward for their apprehension, or the
charge delivered to tbe officers of tne law, re.
quiring them to be vigilant iu their arrests?
I now invite bis Excellency’s attention to
this cose for an explanation, and when ex
plained satisfactorily, I will call attention to
cases, equally as atrocious and vile, in the
counties of Columbia, Greene, Morgan, Har
alson and Washington, which have occurred
since his inauguration as Governor of Georgia.
Now, Messrs. Editors, let tbe Governor ex
plain tally, aod if not, he will see why it is
that the colored people believe me iu prefer
ence to himself, as stated by him to the col
ored committee. Respectfully,
John A. >*impy.

R. H. Aruane. The affair was to come off
about Christmas time, but will be postponed
until the arrival ol the French Admiral, in
case he should uot arrive then. Preparations
are on a grand scale—in a millinery and
tailor sense—are being made, but as this is
a country destitute* of tailors and milliners,
the material will be purchased in San Francis
co aud the work done there. Several ambiti
ous Don Juans have forwarded their orders by
which to deck their Haidees. One brave and
gallant youth has sent a little draft ot $700 to
purchase some choice fineries in which to
deck his lady love. Considering thst it is a
climate where beauty least adorned
is most adorned, this is an extravagant
sum for “lancy fixing.” Several little
bills, reaching from $200 to $500, are also
forwarded, and it is probable that, in one
way or another, the miliiners and tailors ot
’Frisco wil. pocket at least $7,000 by the op
eration, Oh, that we could have a tropical

In ingut lasta sailor named A. V. Eogbrmoht was
sent to the Marine Hospital from tome skip In port,
with rheumatism, and since then h*a not been able
to attend to any work, though he hae improved very
much. About two weeks since some one stole a few
articles of clothing from him, which eeemed to trouble
him very much, and has so unsettled hla mind that
Dr. Stone, who is the physician in charge, has found
It neoeesary to put him in a straight jacket several
times, and for tne paat few days he hae been so wild
that the Doctor thought it would be beet to confine
him In a small room, about aix by ten feet, whioh it
for the accommodation of such unraly character*,
and he was accordingly confined there. On Wednes
day he sent for the Doctor to oome to hie loom. As
the former opened the door and went in, the min
quickly dosed it and placed his back ^against it, at the
same time seising a Urge club which he had con
cealed in the room. This weapon he raised over the
Doctor’s head, with the remark: “Damn you! I intend
to kill you.*' The Doctor, being entirely unarmed,
perfectly nonplussed for the moment, but after
the first surprise he very ooolly remarked io the ma-
nisc t at it would not be right to do anything of that
kind. The physician kept hie eyes upon the man
while he was talking, but oonld not prevail upon him
(o think as he did. The Doctor was kept in this sus
pense for about fifteen minutes, when the Steward,
thinking something must be wrong, went to the door,
and hearing what was going on within, broke the door
down, and; aseiated by the Doctor, secured the dan
gerous patient. The man was then taken to jail for
safe keeping until the Ordinary oonld have a hearing
in the case. On yesterday the proper affidavits ware
made before the Ordinary, and alter an examination
it was decided that he was not of sound mind, and he
will therefore be sent to tbe lunatic asylum.
