Peace, peace! He is not dead, he does not

He hath awakened from 'the dream of life!
He has outsoared the shadow of our night.
Envy and calumny, and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,
Can touch him not and torture not again.
From the contagion of the world's slow stain
He is secure, and now can never mourn
A heart grown cold,a head grown gray in vain
Nor, when the spirit’s self has ceased to burn,

Ice in the Track of Ships, .
PEHILS FROM FLOES AND BERGS.
For a month nearly all the ocean steam—
ships and many of the sailing vessels which
have crossed the Banks of New Foundlaud
have reported encountering immense fields
of peek ice and towering icebergs, Several
vessels have been damaged by contact with
the ice, and two steamships from this port
have recently arrived in Europe having sus—
tained injury to their hails from the ice.
The ice fields are reported as varying greatly
in extent, and the icebergs as varying in size
from 50 feet in height and 100 feet in length
to four and five times those dimensions. As
an iceberg on the average shows only one—
eighth of its mass above water, and the
weight of a cubic foot is equal to 57:} pounds,
the weight of an iceberg of a given size may
be approximately computed. Take, for in-
stance, one of' the nine bergs passed by the
British steamship Lepanto, on May 9th, on
the Banks of New Foundland. This is re—
ported as 150 feet in height, one and a half
miles in length, and half a mile in breadth.
If this was of regular form, the cubical con-
tents above water would be 3,465,000,000
feet, and submerged 24,250,200,000 feet,mak-
ing the estimated weight 697,452,000 tons.
This Weight may seem improbable, but there
are instances on record where larger icebergs
have been seen from the deck of a vessel.
Among disasters to ocean vessels during
the last two months from ice on the banks of
Newfoundland, the following are the most
important: The steamship Fernville from
West Hartlepool, England, for Boston, was
cut into by the ice on March 25, and sunk,
the crew being rescued ‘a few hours after-
ward. The Spanish steamship Viscaino,
from Halifax for 'Antwurp, was broken in by
the ice on April 8th, and sunk. The steam—
ship Rhiwiudda, from New York for Car-
diff, encountered fields of ice for 180 miles
on the Banks, on March 25 and 26, and pass-
ed er than 100 icebergs; her bows were
broken in and her forward compartment
was filled with water. The steamship Thin-
valla, from Shields, England, for New York,
lost her propeller in the ice, and was towed
into Boston May 5. The steamship Cosmo-
politan also lost one of the blades of her pro-
peller by striking the ice on April 19. Other
steamships have been caught in the ice-fields
and delayed for several hours on their pas-—
sage. Sailing vessels have been delayed by.
being caught in the ice.

Ice and icebergs appeared on the Banks of
Newfoundland earlier this season than usual|
They are most commonly met in the early
part of the Summer, after the cessation of
northerly-gales, which drive them from their
location in the latter part of March or April.
_The icebergs come chiefly from Glenland,
being formed by rivulets, etc. The vast iCe-
fields seen upon the Banks are brought there
by the currents of the sea and the wind.
They come‘momytrumwfie'coast of Labra—
dor, and are parts of the fields which are
formed during the long Winter in the great
bays and inlets of the Labrador coast. Ice—
bergs are continually 'chauging their line of
floating, owing in part to the breaking off of
pieces of the upper mass and the melting
away of the submerged portion. Their mo—
tion is always slow, and accidents can rarely
happen from them to prudent mariners. At
this season of the year they are brought down
by the northern winds. They float along
the Banks of Newfoundland, and finally,
striking the warmer waters of the the Gulf
Stream, soon disappear. The movement of
a field of ice is accompanied by much crash-
ing, and is often obscured by a dense fog,
through which rise the tops of the bergs.
On two occasions during the Arctic cruise in
the J uniata in the Polaris Search Expedition,
that vessel barely escaped destruction from
the icebergs. One of these was in the mid-
dle of July, 1873. During a dense fog at
midday, off Cape Farewell, Greenland, an
immense berg was suddenly seen to loom up ‘
out of the fog not more than a ship’s length
directly ahead. Fortunately the vessel was
running at slow speed, and her course was
quickly changed, and she cleared the ice
mountain by about 100 feet. On another
occasion, off Fiskeruaes, in a dense fog, an-
other very large berg was seen a little on the
port how, .not more than 500 feet distant.
The engines were stopped and reversed, and
the vessel escaped destruction by only a few
feet. "
AN EXCITING APPEARANCE m mu ICE.
An officer of one of the vessels which en-
countered the great ice fields and bergs a few
days ago on the Banks, and whose vessel was
closed in for several hours, gave the follow-
ing statement of his observations to a Tri—
bune reporter: “To .the windward of us,
forming a lee shore. we saw a vast plain of
undulating ice, in no wise different from that
which we-sometimes see in Winter on the
North River when the Hudson is‘breaking
up, except in its extent. There was the same
crackling and grinding and splashing,but the
indefinite extent multiplied the sounds to a
rcmenduous din, and with it came a strange
undertone accompaniment. The hummocks
piled themselves up on the edge of the flees
in aset of rugged walls several feet in height.
A great number of bergs, of shapes the most
simple and complicated, of colors blue,
white and earth-stained, were entangled in
this great floating field of ice. They ranged
from 50 to 150 feet in height, and were of
various lengths. We could not'help being
impressed by the majesty of these ice moun»
tains. With bergs, does and hammock
ridges the great mass looked like an ice-
bound coast, on which we were soon firmly
fixed. These ice. mountains frequently trav-
elled in opposite directions from the wind
.and the surface ice, which gave usa good
index of a deep-sea current.
“Next was an ice hill at least 200 feet in
height. its face being 300 feet in length and
irregular in shape. No one is capable of ap—
preciating the glorious variety of iceberg
scenery, unless he be an eye—witness; The
generalcolor of a berg may be compared to
frosted silver,and when its fractures are very
extensive the exposed faces have a very bril-
liant lustre. But the enjoyment of the glory
of such scenery is somewhat modified when
we consider its dangers. As the berg reaches
wagmer waters its submerged mass is acted
upon, and as it gradually melts the berg be—
comes top-heavy and rolls over and breaks
into hundreds of pieces. First the inclined
face rises, then you hear grinding noise,
and then its base has cracked with a sound
like thunder. It rises and throws the water
up as from a submarine explosion, and you
next observe a hundred smaller bergs formed
from this great mass. After remaining fast
for several hours we saw an open canal and
headed our ship toward it. As we moved
on, congratulating ourselves that we would
soon be out, our canal suddenly grew nar-
rower, and we were jammed between two
great ice-fields. ,After being delayed in this
way for nearly. fort'eight hours we finally
extricatcd our ship from its ice_~bound posi-
tion, and in a few hours were in clear open
water.”

Dr. Hayes mentions an experience in the.
ship United States, in 1860, which nearly
ended the expidition. The weather was calm
and the vessel making very little headway in
the ice. Being caught by acurrent the vessel
was jammed against an iceberg, the equili-
brium of which was disturbed, and it began
to lean over toward the ship. The motion
was slow and very alarming. A boat was
lowered and a line taken to another iceberg,
and the ship was hauled from her dangerous
position. Just as the stern was clear ,the ice
mountain toppled over, and great masses of
ice loosened by the shock fell into the sea.

Medical Emergencies. .
\VIIAT TO DO IN THE ABSENCE OF A PHYSICIAN
—LECTURE BY DR. NORMAN BRIDGE.
Dr. Norman Bridge delivered a very inte-
resting and instructive lecture, recently, to
a large audience in the Lower Farwell Hall,
having for his subject “What to do in Emerg
gencies in the absence of a Physician,” which
he treated in a colloquial way, thus making
his remarks all the more appreciable to those
who heard them.
The trouble in connection with emergen-
cies was that people would insist in manag:
ing them in an unphilosophical way. The
things which chn the doctor could do in such
cases Were very few, and the necessity of
summoning him was not so great as was
many times imagined. The things to be ac-
complished lay in the way of aiding the pro-
ccs of nature, while those which people
were in the habit of doing were frequently
directly to the contrary. In many cases na«
ture supplied abundant means for a remedy,
and all that was necessary was for the by-
standers to keep their hands off from a sud—
denly sick person. .
Taking up such emergencies in the order
of their frequency of occurrence, he spoke
first of the simple acc‘ent 'of fainting. As
a matter of fact a simple fainting fit was
merely the result of a temporary cessation of
the flow of blood to the brain, and no one
ever died of it. In- a few moments the blood
ran back again an. fit was over. And
yet people did all k1 s of ridiculous things
tO‘the patient, lifting him and throwing cold
water into his face, the former process really
tending to retard the cure, while the latter
made no difference either way. The patient
should be allowed to lie on the ground as he
fell, the horizontal position being most
favorable to the return of the blood'to the
brain. If the recovery did not soon occur
the feet might be raised, by which means the
the patient would recover almost immediat-
ely. Occasionally a person who was sick at
the time of the fainting would die under the
fit, but the raising him up and applications of
cold water would only have 'a tendency to
make him die all the quicker.
Childr_en in convulsions, a form of sicknes
which, by reason of its dreadful appearance,
frightened the friends of the patients, were
subjected to all seats of ifoolisn treatment ;
were plunged into hot baths, dashed with
cold water, shaken, ,flagellated, and not un-
frequcntly dosed with medicine. In 999 out
of 1000 cases the. convulsion is an epileptic
fit, which lasts generally about three minutes,
and in which it was .very'universal for a
patient to die. Occasionally, where there is
disease of the brain, the fit might last an
hour or more,or he might‘die; but the re-
be hastened by the adoption of any of the
treatments alluded to‘. At the end of the fit
the sufferer usually fell into a neep slumber
and nothing should be done to interfere with
this means taken by natdre to aid the recov-
ery of the patient. The same statement ap—
plied to the hysterical fit, which was matter
or no consequence, because it never killed
anybody, and even in the appoplectic fit.
NOTHING Conn) BE DONE.
further than to keep the patien's mouth clear,
so that breathing might not be impeded, and
to prchnt him from hurting himself or other
people from doing so.
In cases where children suffered from
con vulsious people were afraid to let the suf-
ferers go to sleep. The knock on the head
which the child received in the fall produced
certain injuries in the brain, and Natures
process for curing them was to let the parts
rest, and this caused the desire to sleep to
rise after such an accident. This desire should
always be graIified, the child being placed in
as favorable conditions to a good sound sleep
as soon as possible.
On the subject of hemorrhage the Doctor
explained that it was necessary for people to
tell by the pulse whether the patient- was in
danger or not. The normal rate of the pulse
was from Seventy to eighty beats a minute;
if a patient bled extensively the pulse ran up
as high as from 120 to 140 beats a minute,
which indicated that the patient was in dan—
ger. The easiest way to check the bleeding
was to apply pressure at the point where
the blood was flowing from the external in—
jury. A handkerchief or a finger'plunged
into the wound could always accomplish
thi . It' was a good thing, too, to elevate
thciimb where the cut or bruise was, as that
brought the attraction of gravitation to the
aid. Applications of cold water, which
contracted the blood vessels and retarded the
flow of blood, were also beneficial. How to
dress a serious wound was also a matter
which puzzled people a great deal. The
best thing to apply was hot water, which
gave the injured parts the best opportunity
of recovery which they could have. The
water should always be at a temperature
somewhat higher than that of the blood—say
from as to 100 degrees. ‘
The emergency of great pain was one
which often occurred to children, and under
circumstances which might lead to the de-
struction of some of the senses. One of the
most common pains was that which occurred
in the car, the best means of alleviat-
ing which was the application of hot
water. A constant stream of hot water
should be poured into the child’s car
by means of a syringe or a teaspoon, and it
would soon stop the pain. The child could
be allowed to rest, and if the pain occurred
again, the same treatment should be repeat
ed. Earachc should never be disregarded,
as it was quite likely to result in loss of .
hearing. Heat was the most useful of all
simple agents to stop pain. Fermentations
should be applied as hot as possible, and a
common wringing-machine 'was a very use—,
ful help in handling the cloths just.taken
from the intensely hot water. The person
handling the cloths for the patient might not
be able easily to stand their heat,but a pat—
ient suffering from colic, for instance, would
welcome them heated almost up to the
scalding point.

considering plans for its improvement.
Among other things, it isproposed to make
the park a preserve for the large game of
North America, many varieties of which al-

done to check the reckless destruction of the

he recommended the application of' an emet-
ic. and the giving of quantities of water,
by which means the poison would be dilut-
ed, and its e'erét greatly weakened. The
simplest way to produce vomiting was to
thurst the middle finger down the throat of
the, patient and tickle it until vomiting was
produced ; of cmetics none was more simple
and efi‘icacious than a tablespoonful of table
mustard mixed in a pint of hot water. In
cases of poisoning by any 'of the various
~forms of opium, the best antidote was strong
coffee in copious quantities. Here. too, was

Tribune.
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant.
After Vicksburg .had been overcome, a
small, dilapidated house was found, anda
few odd bits of furniture were gathered,
and Mrs Grant began in a small way to
keep house, hoping the gcneraLmight now
enjoy much needed rest. In a few days an
order came from President Lincoln, direct-
ing Grant to repair at once to Richmond.
‘Some women would have craved time to
make ready; not so our heroic lady; and di-
rectly her trunks were packed, and as they
started'shc remarked to a friend: “I knew
the general would have to take Richmond;
and he will do it.” No sooner was a town
taken and. the news had reached Mrs Grant
'in her retreat, than she would appeal to the
staff officers to procure some mode of con—
vcyance; and, without heediug their warn-
ings of possible danger. this intrepid woman
would press forward; and ere her hnsband
could be aware of her presence, the officers
were already in quest of lodgings for his
wife and children. But though endowed
with such fortitude and self-poise, Mrs.
Grant was unfailingly gentle and unobstru-
sivc and ladc like. The staff officers, into
whose companionship she was constantly
thrown, ever remember her kindness and
benevolence with the warmest respect and
admiration.
.The war being over, Mrs. Grant was grat—
ificd when the general was made command—
er-iu-chicf. It was but a just recognition of
his services. But to see him president she had
no ambition. When the nation’s choice was
known, however. she said: “Though it is
contrary to my wishes, yet I mean to do all
the good I can."
She was not consequential, neither did she
boast of her ancestrary. She was a gentle,
unassuming, kind hearted woman. Defec—
tive eyesight rendered it difficult for her to
recognize even her own children. It raised
at least a thin~veil, a slight obstruction to
making new friends. At times she was the
subject of playful jokes.‘ For instance a
gentleman passing along in the procession on
reception da'y tarried a moment to talk with
tht lady receiving; and she asked how long
he had been in the city. Alter alittle cbafilng
he told her his name was Bristow—a mem
ber of the cabinet who called daily.
But this infirmity was no joke to Mrs.
Grant. It made her look and feel awkward,
and it caused in one way and another an un-
reasoning prejudice against the mistress of
the White House. Stories of lack of affa-
bility were set afloat, and taken up by per-
sons who would not usually do so vulgar
and cruel a thing as to deride an infirmity.
Possibly the frequent ungracious comments,
all of which she keenly felt, may have
chiller] her truly genial nature, or, at least,
have induced a cautious reserve toward
strangers. Her good sense was seen in her
patience under the gOading of sharp pens,
whetted, beyond question, by partisan ran-
cor. In reference to this, no resentful
words ever reached the public car, She main-
tained uniform silence respecting her hus-
bands concerns. Though she kcpt herself in-
formed of passing political events, yet she
never intermeddled in state affairs.
To do good was with her not a spasmodic-
impulse—it was her daily employ. She
“searched out” misery, and in a practical
way set about relieving the same. Money
she bestowed with discrimination, yet with
_ a liberal hand. What she gave away in
charity, if laid by in parsimonious economy,
would have swelled to a handsome bank ac-
count. An intimate friend of Mrs. Grant
had not some unfortunate person on her
mind who must be helped; some poor girl
who must have employ, or some widow and
children who must have a lift. And yet so
quiet was her method of benevolence that
it was not generally known.” _
After Mrs. Grant rose to a height that
would have dazed a woman of less sense
and stability, a lady called early one morn—
ing, desiring to see the president; and at the
door stood a gentleman, and as the two sent
in their cards a plain looking man, who
stood waiting; sent in a hit of paper on
which he had written, “One of your sol-
diers.” Soon the -voice of Mrs. Grant was
heard directing the servant: “Request the
lady to be seated in the parlor, show the
gentleman into the office, and invite the sol—
dier to come right up to see the president.”
‘So long as the family remained in Washing—
ton, Mrs. Grant never failed to go on Deco-
ration, Day provided with an ample supply
of flowers, which with her own hands and
Nellie’s assistance she tenderly strewed over
the ashes of our fallen braves. The few old
servants remaining in the White House fond-
ly cherish the memory of Mtg. Grant and
the happy days they enjoyed while under her
employ.
Mrs. Grant’s education was fully up to the
standard of the time in Missouri, where she
was reared. Her father a Methodist preacher
in good circumstances, residing on a farm.
Mrs. Grant herself made no pretensions to
being intellectual. Her transparent simplic-
ity, as seen in her absolute uuchangcblcness,
is phenomenal.
'At one time, many years since, so it is
stated, the fortunes of the Grant family were
at a low ebb, and Mrs. Dent, Mrs. Grant’s
mother, a' devout Methodist, doubtless hav-
ing some solicitude, dreamed a dream from
which she derived much consolation. It
was revealed to her, so it seemed, that Lieu-
tenant Grant was to becofie highly useful
and that he wasto be honored as no man had
before been honored.— Washington Cor. Syr-

THE New OYSTER LAW.—By the limita-
tion of the oyster law of the session of 1880,
whichtook effect from the date of its pas-
sage and was approved April 10, dredging
ceased in the waters of Maryland, April 1,
and though the licenses issued cover the
period of one year, the business of taking
oysters with scoop. dredge or similar ap-
paratus may-not be resumed until October
15. The penalty for violations of the law to
regular dredging is a fine of $50 to $200,
or imprisonment in the house of correction
threc months to three years, on any person
violating the law, and on vessels the penalty
of $50 to $300 fine. - As taking oysters by
any mcgns whatever is prohibited between
April 15 and September 1, the oyster catch-
iug_ business in Maryland waters is now
wholly suspended. The penalty for touging
between April 15.nud September 1, is afine
of $50 to $200, or imprisonment in the house
of correction three mom. to three years.
Some further prohibitorfiind penal pro~
visions of the act are intended to prevent
catching oystersrou Sunday or at night, or
carrying them in the shell beyond the limits
of the state between April land September
1. The penalty for violations of these reg
ulations is a fine of $50 to $300,0r confine-
ment in the house of correction three months
to three years, or forfeiture of the boat,
vessel or canoe, in the discretion of the
judges or justice trying the case.‘ The four-
teenth section is in effect that during the
months of May, June, July, August and
two weeks of April, no oyster tongmen shall
catch more than five bushels of oysters a
day, and that these shall be solely for pri-
vate consumption or sale in the neighborhood.
Where there have been caught, for replant—

state of Virginia to approve the Potomac
river oyster law this year, makes Maryland

the present. This law proposes to prohibit
oyster dredging in Potomac water during
the spawning season. It is also dcsigued‘to
be a check on Maryland dredging evading

‘Always with us, always with us, _
Words of cheer and words of love;
Thus the risen Saviour whispers,
From 135 dwelling place above.
With us when we toil in sadness,
Sowing much and reaping none ;
Telling us that in the future
Golden harvests shall be won.
With us when the storm is sweeping
O'er our pathway dark and drear;
Waking hope within our bosom,
Stilling every anxious fear. .
With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream ;
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation's radiant beam.

others were fine buildings of yellow brick.

The city of Winnipeg, which) eight'years
ago was nothing more 'thair- a" cluiter of
1houses about the Hudson Bay-Company's
éfort, now contains over seven thousand in-
habitants. It is the distributing centre for a
large region, a place of great business ac-
tivity, and situated in relation to"the' back
Country and the fabilities for transportation
that it is sometimes called “the Bl'eeder’s
Paradise.” It is built on a clay bank at the
junction of the Assiniboin'e with the Red
River. The nature of the soilis such-that
it is difficult to find a good foundation
for a house, and many of the larger-build—
ings have settled and cracked.—-Hhmr'afo.a

. The Boston Congregatr‘onqlr'st is a church
organ; Not one with pipes and stops and
bellows, but the newspaper-organ of the
Congregational Church. A Savannah cor-
respondent of it has been visiting a colored
Methodist church down South. The minis-
ter read the first line of a well-known hymn,
“God moves in a mischievious way,” instead
of “mysterious," and a later line"‘Judge not
the Lord by feeble saints,” instead of
“sense.” It was communion Sunday and
they took up a collection. For three-quar-
ters of an hour they sang and danced, while
tip people deposited their nickless-very
slole, for they have little money and less
confidence in those that receive it. At length
the minister became impatient and shouted
“We has got to raise $5 1110', an .I tell ye
now, ye wont get a mite o" sacrament till
ye’ve raised it,” and the $5 were forthcom-
ing. After the communion service came the
asked what the child’s name was, “Cuffy
Austin," was the answer. “(Duffy-l” ex-
claimed the minister with some anger, “what'
do you gib your child such a name as dat
for? Cufiy ain’t no name ’t all. Don’t
richer gib a chile no such nickname; he’ll be
’shamed on it as soon ashe knows ahything.’
Again he inquired the mine, and the woman
was mad and flung out: “Gully Austid!”
The pastor took the child in his arms,
sprinkled some water on its head and said:
“I baptize thee, Cufiy Austin, in ignorance,”
and that was all the christening the baby re-

Monday you may see tall, straight negro
enormous bundles of soiled clothes upon
their heads; or a man with a great stack
of home made, unpainted, and splint bottom
chairs, out from among the white legs and
rungs of which his black visage peers eu—
riously; or urchins under baskets of flowers
poised like crowns. Troops of little black
boys, bare-footed, bare-headed, and ragged
“to a degree, ” as a certain English novelist
is fond of expressing it, go about carrying
bags in whicu they gather up rags in a
manner wholly different‘ from the New
York chifioniefs. At certain corners stand
farmers in scant clothing of homespun, d
the most bucolic of manners, waiting 85..
some one to buy for a dollar, or even half
a dollar, the little load of wood piled up on
the centre of a homemade wagon so dimin-
utive that two men could walk away with
the whole affair, while a third carried the
mule under his arm. It is fun to go to
the post office after the arrival of the noon
mails from the North. The office closes its
windows, although it is in the middle of the
day, and devotes itself to the task of
distribution . Meanwhile a crowd accumu—
latc~mostly the rabble who get a letter
about once in four weeks, but mixed up of
all sorts—and amuse themselves by making
remarks not always complimentary to the
rule of the office, or standing patiently in
line until the window opens. This delay
in a post office which supports the delivery
system lookalikea “relic”; but everybody
has time enough in Georgia.
On certain days you will hear the beating
of triangles, and have your attention at—
tracted to the red flag of the Curb stone
auctioneer, whose volubility will be heard
above the din of traffic. These‘ out-of-door
auctions are always amusing, and the crowd
of negroes, “poor whitefi" and loungers that
they gather afford an teresting study to
the lover of physiognomy. It is like abit
of the Bowery or Chatham street turned out
of doors; but the articles sold are so mis—
cr-Ilaneous and wretched. You may buy
worn out stoves, and tables, secondhand
bacon, muddy croquet sets; rubber hose of
cm: kind and cotton hose of quite another,
canary birds, hat racks, baby carriages, old
fruit jars. clothing, bathtubs, straw sun-
honuas and hats, squirrid cages. carpets.
