AN OHIO NTrAHIIOAT UOKA DOWN WITH A CTHUUN ON HOARD. Men, llors s nutl Oilier Animals Struggling In tlic Water. Between 12 and 1 o'clock a. m. the side- wheel steamboat J. W. Gaff, of the Memphis packet sorvice, ran into tho steamboat Moun tain Girl, which instantly sank in twelve feet of water, which came several feet above her cabin floor. The accident occurred on the Ohio river, just below Aurora, Ind., and re sulted in tho loss of probably two lives. “Tho World’s Show,” a oireiis and variety organisation, was travel ing on the Mountain Girl and exhibiting at the river towns. Tho following is the state ment of tho olerk of the J. \v.

Tho night wns terribly dark and it was raining so hard that our pilot could not see very far ahead. Just as we were rounding the point threo miles tho other side of Aurora tho pilot discovered tho Mountain Girl right ahead of us. He Iminodintoly gavo two whistlos for her to pass to tho leib Thoio was no answer, nnd wo pullcnl toward tho Indiana shore.

The iteamer left Port Arthur at 8 p. in., and was wrecked o(T I.le ltoyal, Just at outside of Thunder bay. A heavy storm prevailed all Hcnd.y afternoon and night, and tho steamer lay to for a tima.

Tho first known of the disaster was when the steamer Arthahsaoa, of the same line, arrived at Port Arthur late Monday evening, with tho orow, thirteen men, of tho 111 fated Algoma, an * Igonis, and two passengers, all that were saved. The Arthahasca, "Inch left Owen sound two days af.er tho Algoma. came upon tho wreck at ltlo ltoyal and round the orew and two passengers in a perishing oondltion on the sound. Tho wreck had bcoti dished by tho waves agalnat Iho rooks, and had finally been hurled upon the shore. Tho orow and two passengers savcil themselves by taking to tho hfn boat.

A Rochester physician de scribes its peculiar effects upon the sys tem that is addicted to it; While a person in normal health is ox- hilarated by the uso of tho drug to Buch an extent that natural cowardice is sup- plantod by tho greatest daring, tho slavo to the drug, though previous to his en thrallment ono of tho bravest of men, becomes tbo most arrant coward. IIo will not sleep, except nt long intervals, but never loses his appetite, eating heartily ns soon as tho nausea induced by the injection pnsses off. No mental fac ulties are clouded or dulled, but owing to extromo constipation the victim is a prey to lethargy, and will not undertake any ere it labor or enterprise; bocomcs untidy in person, uncloan in thought and morally depraved. Some victims havo continued their employment, hut, on account of their aversion to action, with great diminution of success. Opium, other narcotics and intoxicants used to execs", cause persons to bccomo abso lutely indifferent to all relations, duties and obligations; thoy even become brutal, but not nearly so brutal or de praved as tho cocaine slaves. The victim does not sleep or care to, so long ns the drug nffects him; ho will lie awake, happy in tho insomnia, seeing everything aboiit him, and yet exhila rated to a wonderful degree. Halluci nations como with night, not ot tho pleasant order usually ascribed to opium, but ghastly and horrible phantoms to bo chased away only by light.

The 400 Inhabitant, of Tappan wore alt sound asleep when the shock oaino, and they awoke in trembling houses amid tho crash of smashing glass. Two hundred feet eoulh ot tho monument is a large frame houee, occuplod by Mr. K. Simons and his family. Mr. Simons was asleep when toe shock awoke him.

The monument was erected ou the spot where Andre waBhangod. It is on the top of a little hill in an uncultivated field of four teen acres, owned by Cyrus W. Field. Th# field Is unprotected by foncos, and the only buildings near It are Mr. Simons' house and barn. Tho place bns boon much frequented by strangors, and a well-worn wagon road runs up from the public highway to the mon ument The first thing Mr. Simons saw when he roachod tho railing that surrounded the monument was a ro|» ladder that hung from the peak of one of the Iron bars on the east side of tho railing. It was about four feet long and was made of two pieces of small rope held together by ■tope of thick twine.- Mr. Simons put the Il I ’:.-In his p.t, and l« guarding It carefully in the hope that it may load to discoveries. The oxnloslve used was appar ently dynamite, as tuo force i ad a downward tendency. The exploelvo was placed on the east tlda of the monument, opimelto the spot where the rope ladder was found. The monument was a shaft of gray granite standing on a base of the samo atone. The four faces of the stono are rectangular, and are polished to within one nnd a half Inches of the edges. From the ground to the apex the height is seven feet, ami the stone was nearly four feet thick. It weighed about four ton*. The western side of thu stono bears this Inscription: " Here died, Oct. 2, 1780, Major John An dre of the British army, who ontorod tho American linos on a secret mission to llenu- dlot Arnold, was takon prisoner, tried, and condemned as a spy.

In 1821 bis remains were removed to West minister abboy. A hundred yoars after Ills execution this stono was placed above Ihe spot where he lay by a citizen of the State* against which he fought, not to p 'rpoluate he record of strife, but in token of those bet- or feelings which have since united two na- ilons, one in raoo, In language, and In re- iglon, with the earnest hope that this friend ly union will never bo brokea "Arthur Prnrhyn Stanley, "Dean of Westminster.” On the southern faco was this line from Virgil’s ASnoid: "Sunt lacrymoB rorum et raontum mor- talia tangunt. ” On the north side of the stone were thee* words of Washington’s: "He was more unfortunate than criminal; an accomplished man and a gallant soldier.” On February 23, 1883, the monument was hacked by George Hendrix, who died two years sga Several verses, written ou fools cap paper and breathing hate against the British, wero - loft on the stone by Hendrix.

Man; people are worried to know how to get the oyster— and to 1)0 unable to know bow to eat il after it is obtained is pretty rough.— Norristown Herald. Medicinal Value or Fruit. Tho Western Rural ml vises Us readers to throw physic to tho dogs and use moro fruit. There is nothing moro palatable, whoicunmc and medicinal than good, ripo ponchos. It is a mistaken idea that no fruit should bo eaten nt breakfast. It would bo far bolter If our people would cut lu>$ bacon and groaso nt breakfast, and m >rc fruit. In tho morning thero is an acrid stale of the secretions, and nothing is su woil calculated to correct this as cooling sub-acid fruits, such ns peachos, apples, etc. Tho apple is ono of tho best of fruits, linked or stewed apples will gunorally agree with the most ilclleu tcuto stomach, nnd are aiwoxceduut medicine in many cases. Green or linif- ripe apples stewed and sweetened aro plunsant to tiio taste, cooling, nourish ing, laxative, far superior in many cases to tho abomlnablo doses of sails and oil usually given in fever nnd other disonscs. Haw apples and dried apples stewed lire belter for mediciue than some pills. Oranges nro vory ncccpta- ublc to most stomachs, having all thn advantages of tho acid alluded to, but the orange juice alone should be taken, rejecting tho pulp. Tho samo may bo said of lentous, pomogrnn’ates, and all that class. Lemonade is :ho best drink in fevets, nnd when thickened with su gar it is hotter than syrup oLsquills nod othor nauaeanta in many ca-iis of cough. Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels, and urc much more pleasant and safe than blue muss. Tho juice should be used alone, rejecting tho skins. The small-seeded fruit, such as blackberries, figs, raspberries, currants and strawber ries, may bo classed among tho best foods and medicines. The sugar in them is nutritious, the acid is cooling and puri fying, and the seeds are laxatlvo. Wo ’ The Libertine* Laugh While His Kdlt.r Meditates. Ur.

Nonamaker and his wife were found dead in bed at Salida, Col. with bul let holes In their templos. From letters left by them to the editor of the Denver Rem it seems that both had grown discouraged over their inability to get friends to Indorse a note for $400, and had agreed to oommit suicide together. Twelve o'clock was the time agreed upon to put their res olution into effect. They retired with loaded pistols, and when the clock told the hour of midnight each fired, dying instantly. As Nonamaker was jealous and brutal, the general belief at Baliaa is that he killed his wife (luring a jealous fit, wrote the letter end then committed suicide. Advice Generally Followed. Thero Is one form of advice which all young men will hear, and most young men will follow. It is thought by its givers to contain the quintessence of wisdom. It is this: "My friend, knowledge, science, art and cutturo are all very good things; but you may have them all and yet starve. First get money onough, and then devote yourself to culture, and the ornamentation of your nature.” This insidious argument lias wrought more ruin to the human soul than all its vices put togothor. It selects one of the elements of truth, the knowledge of the use of money, or of the supplying of our material wants, and banishes all the others. It has made us a nation of ma terialists and mammon worshipors. Seek I ruth—tho truth about money, about matter, about mind, art, science, religion- seek it in your youth, in your manhood, and as you look over the edge of your grave.—John Swinton’t Payer.
