GUILD’S SIGNAL.

...—-—

Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
That was the signal the engineer—
That was the signal that Guild, ’tis said—

Gave to his wife at Providence.

As through the sleeping town, and thence.
Out in the night,
On to the night;

Dowh past the farms, lying white, he sped 1

. As a husband’s greeting, scant no doubt,
Yet to the woman looking out,
Watching and waiting, no serenade,
Love song or midnight rOundelay
Said what that whistle seemed to say:
“To my trust true
'80 love to you!
Working or waiting,Good night 1" it said.

Brisk young bagmen, tourists fine,
Old commuters along the line,
Biakemen‘and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows of Provi-
dence— ‘
“Nothing amiss
. Nothing I—it is
Only Guild calling his wife,” they said.

Summer and Winter, the old refrain

Rang o’er the billows of ripening grain,

Pierced through the budding boughs o’er-
hcad, . '

Flew down the track when the red leaves
burned

Like living coals from the engine

spurned ;

‘5

Christian fortitude and exalted piety. It is
fitting and proper that Americans, too,
should make some substantial acknowledge-

ment of such services to their countrymen;

but England and England’s Queen, always
so keen to Observe and so ready and free in
rewarding kindness and heroic conduct to
their countrymen, llowcvcr .lowl y and hum-

ble the individual, will not leave him long

in a position too limited for one of his great

moral'worth, so faithful and devoted a ser-

vant of his sacred profession.

A great deal of sympathy will be excited

for the owners of the ill-fated ship, whose

direct loss and its consequences will not be
less than two millions of dollars; as there
does not appear to have been any neglect on
their‘part—on the other hand some good
will inure to the traveling public by this
sad disaster.. It will incite owners and
agents to greater caution in the selection of
those to be placed in chargc,for, however
strong and perfect the construction of the
ship may be, complete in her motive power,
equipment and furnishment, the stery of
the Atlantic may be repeated when least
expected, if those in charge are deficient in
these qualifications so necessary to men
having the care of so many lives, and prop-
erty of so much value, viz; caution. watch-
fulness, and good judgment; in all of which
Captain Williams and the rest of his subor

dinates were sadly Wanting. D. H.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

WASHINGTON, D'. 0., April 281b, 1873.
On ’the 12th day of August, in the year
1786, a joint resolution was passed by Con-
gress authorizing the erection of a monu-
ment to the memory of General Nathaniel
Greene, in a suitable place in the grounds

 

 

 

Sang as it flew :
“To our trust true,
First of all Duty—Good night,” it said.

And then, one night, it was heard no more,
From Stonington over Rhode Island shore,
And the folk in Providence smiled and said.
As they “3:1th in their beds, “The engi-
llC‘t‘l'
Has once forgotten his midnight cheer.”
One only knew
To his trust true
Guild lay under his engine, dead.

The [.055 of the Atlantic.

 

Of all the heart-rending maritime disas-
ters since the era of ocean steam naviga-
tion, there has been none so absolutely void
of reasonableexcuse as that of the Atlantic.
And, according to the captain’s own state-
ment, this awful loss of life and property
falls almost exclusively upon him. \Vere it
not for the fact that he endangered his own
life, also, sacrificed his position, and destroy-
ed forevcr his-reputation as a commander,
his acts, on that occasion, would be unpar-
donable. HOW he could go to his room and
compose himself to lie down and go to
sleep,- running at full spe0d, on such a
night for a low, irregular rock-hound coast,
even when so near as his bungling calcula-
tions made him, is altogether incomprehen-
S¥e The only attqmpt he makes to ac-
e In for his fatal error of calculations is,
“ that a northerly set was greater than he
allowed for,” but'does not say how much
he did allow. I have had ten years experi-
ence as a ship-master in the North and
South Atlantic Oceans, and still more since
as a passenger in'ocean steamers, but I never
yet experienced or' heard of an ocean cur.
rent exceeding one mile an hour outside of
the Gulf Stream and away from the influ-
ence of titles. I have made several voyages
to, Halifax in the Cunard steamers; and
though the captains were familiar with the
coas't, they always approached it with great
caution at night, or in foggy weather; run.
ning very slow, sounding frequently, and
always themselves on the watch.

Such negligence, carelessness, reckless
ness and inéfiieiency were never before com-
bined in one man, placed in a position of
such vastresponsibility. In all well regu-
lated ocean steamships it is the engineer’s
duty to know the quantity of coal consumed
day by day, the quantity remaining on
board, and report the same to the captain.
The coal bunkers are so arranged that this
is done with facility. Had it becn'dohe in

this case, the necessity, if an? existed, of

putting in to replenislrwould have been dis-
covered before passing the meridian of Hali-
fax, and in that case they would have come
up with the land before dark o'n Monday.
All the terrible consequences that followed
were the result of this ligence. The
turning back for Halifax, owever, in no
wise mitigates the criminal carelessness and
recklessness with which he approached a
low and dangerous coast, going to sleep
himself, and without directing any of the
precautions used by all_prudent and experi-

enced navigators to be used by those be ten
in charge. A man ‘at the «mast-head could

have seen one or more of the lights nearly
an hour before she struck ; and also the land
and breake’rs far enough off to have avoid-
ed them. And if the weather had been
thick or hazy, then a cast or two of the
cad, and a reference to the chart of the

coast, where the, soundings are accurately"

laid down, would have indicated their ap-
proximation to the land ; and, as the Court
of Enquiry states it, “ this wouldhaveguar-
rantecd theirs:1fcty.”' And yet, strange to
say, though they find him guilty of gross
negligence and inefficiency, and censure him
severely, and say that“ his certificate ought
to be qancclled, but in consideration of his
praisworthy efforts to save the lives (of those
he had so recklessly imperiled) mitigates the
penalty, and, consequently, limit it to two
years’ suspension." They might as well
have revoked it, howver, for he can never

be reinstated in the confidence of the public-

Considering all the circumstances, of the
dark night, the heavy sea, the water almost
at the freezing point,the rocks covered with
slipperyjsca weed, and the people all wet
through and chilled before getting into the
Water, to haul themselves on Shore by the
line, it is rather surprising that so many
were saved. ’

In contemplating this reckless sacrifice of
lifc,.so criminally culpable on the part of
the captain and those in charge of the ship
when she struck, it is some little relief to
the melancholy picture to see that itbrought
to the surface two of nature’s heroes, who,
but for this occasion might have lived on
and died in obscurity. Too little credit has
been awarded to the third oflicer, Mr. Brady,
who was the first to comprehend the perils of
their situation, to see the possibility of sav-
ing some lives, quick to discover the meth-
od and prompt in using it, apparently re:
gardless of what his own fate might be.
Unreeving the signal halyards, he plunged
into the sea. with the end and made for the
rock, in the dark night, through aheavy sea,
not knowing whether it was possible for him

, :0 get a foot-hold and climb up its alm‘ost
. perpendicular sides. Fortunately he suc-
w-cedcd, and with this be hauled a large line
on shore and secured it to the rock, and by
this means nearly :11 those who were saved
reached the shore. nd his services subse-
quentlyexhibited a quickness to perceive
and a readiness to execute everything possi-
sible for the safety and comfort of the pas
singers. And no one can read over the ac-
count of the Rev._ Mr. Ancient’s almost sn-
1; rhuinan exertions on that occasion ; in-
.~-‘ sting against the persistent remonstrances
ui‘ hardy and experienced boatmen in going
uii‘ to the wreck, and witli‘his own hands,
pulling one after another of the poor suffer-
rxrs into the boat, who were too far gone to
help themselves; his untiring labors in sav-
ing and COmeNing the living; his tender
cure of the dead, even assisting in digging
ithlI‘ graves, when he saw assistance was

contiguous to the capitol. Congress not ony
ordered the erection of this monument, but
actually made an appropriation to pay for it,
and a committee’ was appointed to draft an
appropriate inscription, which was also
done, and the their Secrctu‘y ofthe Treasury
was directed “to see it permanently placed
in the public grounds adjacent to the capitol
in the federal city.” It is not improbable
that among the many improvements now in
progress in the Capitol grounds, that a site
for a monument to General Greene may be
reserved. When Judge Johnson published
his life of General Greene in 1822, he : “It
is Well known from that time to the present
it has been impoasible for ‘the Government
to carry this vote into effect, as the ground
adjacent to the Capitol is scarcely yet pre-
pared for the purpose. There cannot, how-
ever, be entertained a doubt that this
acknowledged debt of gratitude will be
paid.” Certainly it is fully time that the
monument should be erected, and it is a dis-
grace to the' country that the matter has
been so long neglected, yet when we pause
to consider the disgraceful fact that George
Washington, whom we delight to designate
immortal Washington, the Father of his
Country, &c., &c., has had no monumental
column erected to perpetuate his memory,
we cannot be astonished at the want of zeal
in Congress in carrying out the provisions of
the above mentioned bill, and we are forced
to admit the truth of the axiom that “Repub-
lics have short memories. I!
sat BARTLE FnEnE’s MISSION.

Notwithstanding the fact that many of the
most prominent journals in the country
have endorsed the Canard, that the mission
of Sir Bartle Frere to the Sultan of Zanzibar
in-relation to the suppression of the slave
trade was afbrilliant success, recent and re-
liable advices place it beyond dispute that
the, mission was an, absolute and signal
failure. The Sultan. Of Zanzibar is fully
determined to turn an honest penny by the
market of slaves, and it- adds another proof
that a bailiarian is not a proper person with
whom to peaceably negotiate. Every at-
tendant circumstance: and each surrounding
condition of Frere’s mission was apparently
favorable to its successful issue. The Sul-
tan’s father, it is known, is a firm friend to
England, and the Sultan himself is quite
friendly to that nation, and the Ambassador
was a gentleman eminently qualified by
experience and native address to executedle
delicate mission. But as there ‘was no
menacing for“ held in terrorem the pro-
posed treaty fell to, the ground. Rome,
England, Russia and the United States bear
witness to the utter incapability of savages
and barbarians to appreciate motives not
immediately connected with pecuniary gain,
pleasure or pain.

COMPETITIVE EmmIA'InON.

W hen George William Cur-ti. resigned
the presidency of the Civil Service Reform
Commission, it became evident that the
system in his opinion was a total failure,
and he left on the same principle that causes

 

fall. At all ‘nvantq, "straws show which
way, the wind blows." W0 00p)? the f°1‘
lowing from a. late number of the Chronicle,
.asta‘unch advocate of the interests of de-
partmental clerks :— .

B “We learn, with sincere gratification, that
ecretary Riehardson,who is a practical
man,docs not favor the appointment, to
vacant clerkships in the Treasury Depart-
ment, of those who have passed the best
competitive cxaminntions,no matter what
their antecedents may have been, where
their,homcs may be, or who may recom-
mend them. He has prepared a simpler,
bcttcr and more equitable method of filling
vacancies, which can but recommend itself
to the newly-appointed members of tllc
Civil ServiQAdvisory Board, and to those
old members whose opinions are of any
value. We feel confident that it will only
have to be examined to be adopted.”

This is the beginning Of the end of one of
the most bare—faced frauds evcrfoisted upon
the American people. _

mammals COMES TO GRIEF.

An enterprising meschant, on Seventh
street, recently employed a lady to super-
scribc a large number of envelopes, inlwhich
he enclosed his business.cards,and sent
them broad-cast through the several dcparb
mcnts. One of them came to our familiar
Bimbles, and wishing to put up a job on his
wife, whom he knew would visit him during
the day, he withdrew the card and substi-
tutc(l.a letter purporting to be from a young
lady, begging him to call, &c., &c. He left
the letter on his desk, one when his wife
came she went for it. The joke~ was a
success. The last I saw of Bimblcs he was
in a hair store on Pennsylvania Avenue, in-
quiring the price Of wigs.

ALEXANDER II. STEVENS
is once more on the war path. He has dis-
covered a mare’s nest, or what he is pleased
to style it,a vortex. The proposition to
abolish the Electoral College, and elect the
President and Vice-President by a direct
vote of the people, he says “is another rapid
stride towards centralization-that terrible
‘vortcx’ which now so alarmingly threatens
the cngulfment of the liberties of the
country.” If he had never been whirled in
the terrible vertex of secession,his opinions
might have some weight,but as he now
stands before the country, his wishes.

once agreeable,
healthy, and
effectual for
_ preserving the
I: hair. It soon
;_ restores faded
/, ‘ or gray hair
/’ to its original
I' - x " color, with the
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
air is thickened, falling. hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are dea
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new~
growth of hair is produced. Instead
.of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from taming gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju—
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit: but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a. HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor- dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
ltistre, and a grateful perfume.

One Brown, of- Big Meadows. in Nevada,
is what they call out there a "gamey men!“
Brown has alternated between wealth and
bankruptcy at least a dozen times since his
coming into Nevada as a mining pioneer,
about as many years ago, and is now pro-
specting for his thirteenth fortune, after
losing the twelfth in his usual happy style.
explain, says a local paper : '

“Mr. Brown has, perhaps, played often:-
in the California pastime known as drew-
poker, than any other man of his age ; and
as he was never known to win a game, and
is consequently a source of perpetual reve-
nue to as many' friendly gentlemen as can
get at him with packs of cards, the steady
demand for the wealth, and as steady distri-
bution of the latter are at once comprehen-
sible. His genius for losing? or the game in
question is Wonderfully complimented by a
surprising faculty tbr money-making fin
every department of Nevadian industry,
from mining to stock raising. - At one time
he owned 200 ‘feet,’ or shares, in. the rich
Crown Point silver mine, and as many in
the famous Gould and Corry; and dis-
tributed every cent thereof inward-playing,
society, through the medium of poker. Then
be accumulated additional‘ lucre by freight-
ing between the Humbolt and Carson, and
disbursed it , including teams and wagon,
at one sitting in the company "bl; certain
shrewd gentlemen of Ragtown. After this
bankruptcy he turned cheerfully to mining
again, until he was worth $20,000 in the
Montezuma lode, near Orens, where with,
as before, he endowed a number of deserv-
ing pokery professorships to his own ex-
treme impoverishment. In short, by a
career of benevolence of ,this fashion Mr.
Browu disposed of nearly 3250,000before
finally settling down to the pastoral sim-
plicity of a farmer‘s life at Big Meadows.
In this latter vocation, wherein prosperity
of course attended him, he whiled away
many pleasant hours in teachinlzhis favorite
game, at some expense, to divers Piute In-
dians whom he had employed as laborers ;
but présently the ranehe was made joyous-
by the visit of characters more accomplished
in the subtle pastime, with whom the hos;
pitable host could play more scientifically.
To them he proposed stakes of his, live'
stock, his present fortune being chiefly in-
vested therein; and—in the rude languSge
of the primitive diversion—continued “go-
ing" a hog _“better,” and a pig “blind," and
a cow “on a straddle,” until his guests
owned over 500 swine and hofned cattle,
and he was a bankrupt once more. Renee
it is that he is now prospecting again for a
fortune. . ‘ ' '

America to crops will be reduced in one

New Foundland to tbehsrbor of St. Johns.
The distance. between that portend Valen-
tia, Ireland, is only-1,640 miles, .which‘a fast
steamer could cast y make in five days. . All
the dangers to be encountered. along the
thousand. miles of American coast; one:
Cape Race is passed, by outward-bound
steamers, would be avoided. Here Itis that
all‘wrecks occur. Between. St.. Johns and
Valentin there is not a rock * or shoal—no
fogs or treacherous currents to. be: encoun-
tered. It is estimated-that by the: adoption
of this route, mails and passengers could be
conveyed horn London to New oYork In
seven days. Buch‘ awful disasters on the
loss of the Atlantic would be unknown, and
the dangers of crossing the Atlantic would
be little greater than those to belencounten
ed in crossing the English channel.
