The Newberry Observer Qgys: The Anarchists and Socialists should not be confounded with the Knights ol Labor. They are altogether different, the former as a rule are not laborers, tut loafers, bummer?, and stirrers-up bf strife. They are sworn enemies of the Jaw’ and of private property. They’ are dynamiters, assassins ami incendiaries. The Knights of Laboi kre. on the other hand, real laborers Their rules require them to belaw-abid tig. True they go on strikes and at tempt to prevent other laborers from hiking the places that they abandon They “boycott” people who refuse to aid them in their' strikes. They stop railroad trains, factories and other en terprises and put whole communities and States to great inconvenience, am. •Incidentally cause great losses of prop erty. They oocassionally resort to Violence. They do tilings they duglituottodo; but they recognizethe ttght of property, and arc pledged to Abide by the taws of the country. They denounce the Socialists and Anarch ists in unmeasured terms and demand Iheir punishment. It would be very tinjUst to the Knights of Labor to con- fbund'thcha with'Socialk ta and Ana.- hbists. i-1 > 1*-1 s: The Methodist Church, in a recent report, dlairt;s M have in its Sunday- schools in the United States an attend ance of 3,004 500 officers and pupils.

KrtESCJENCe. Why was it, love, in moments most divine, 'Ay hand in yours, your trembling lips on mine, Your dark eyes drawing me with their soft glow, Why was it, love, my tears would rise and flow? Did I but weep for joy, or was it, dear. Love seemed too sweet to last, that I felt fear? Neither: the tears welled up from my full heart, Because a voice within said, “Ye must part.” * And, though they part not soon os you and I, Yet nil true loved? hear the mournful cry. Low murmured, mingling rapturous love with pain,. “A grave must one day part ye, levers twain.” —Annie V. Culbertson. THE “KOIAL GEORGE." Tt*S< “• tn in mm -THE best imm. Retold by JAMES PAYN. In a letter which Mias Marfcinsaa ones showed me, from a relative of hen long dead, addressed to her great-niee? from Southsea, near Portsmouth, aijl dated Au<». 9, 1782, there occurred this singular pats igo: •‘The day is calm and pleasant, and as -1 •dt at the open window, the great vessel in the offing, betwixt me and tbi Pair island (the Isle of Wight used to bo so call -d) seems to sway not a hand breath, nor to flutter a single pennant.” Then, in a trem bling hand, but still the same, was added: “A dreadt'ul thing has happened. When I bad written that beginnin; of my letter, Dorothy, I looked again southwa”d; the sea was waveless cs before, and the Fair island sparkled in :hc sun, but betwixt us and it I saw .m> trace of the great three-deck :r. 1 thought my brain hoi gone wronz, and rang the ball for Agae«; but when she too could see nothing of her, a terrible appre hension took hold of me; and when th' puns frein the fort began to thunder 1 knew :he vess -1 had gone down. I hear near 1,000 men were aboard of her.” This was the famou) wreck of the Royal George, immortalized by the verse of Cov- per. She wa i a ship of 10J guns, carrying brass twenty-four pounders on her ma n deck, brass thirty-two pounders on her mid dle deck, and iron thirty-two pounders on her lower deck. II re lanterns were so large that the men used to enter them to clean them. She had six months’ provisoils ou board, and many tons of sho‘. Tee hlu-> flag of the “brave K-'nipcufelt” was flying a her mizzm, a id in two days she was t leave Spithead to join the fleet in the Mediterranean. So sodden an 1 unexpected a catastrophe was never before heard of in naufica annals; but the cause of it is common enough. It arose from the obstinacy and fool-hardiness of the lieutenant of the watch. Tuese caused the death of some 80) human beings. It is not necessary to mention his name; indeed, the saJor from whose personal narrative I compile th a sU>rv, and who bad probably just jo'nel the ship. d;d not know his name, though, ol course, it could be discovered easily enough. “He was, if I remember right,” he says, “the third heut gmut, a good siz*! man be tween 3d and 4J.” Fortunately for him self, pjrhap;, he was drowned with th re^t. The accident arose through the hoelirr’ over of the ship. It was necessary to lav her on her side to get at the water cock, situate i in that part of the hold calls l th wed, in order to rep lac i it Ly a new one. The operation was begun at 8 o’clock in the inoniiug. The ship at th it time was “ful of Jews, women, and p ople felling all sort of things,” as was usual on the eve of alouy voyage. Tee last lighter, with rum oi board, had just come alongside, and wa- inslied u> the larboard side of the vessel, and the mm were piped to clear her, and stow the rum in the bold. Tnougii tli water was almost ley el with the port hole; through which the lorcoard guns were run out, uodaiuer seems at first to have been apprehen le i. 'J he s :a da -bed in with every wave, and disturbed the mice in the lower deck, an 1 tho men amused themselves tvi'm hunting them in the water. “Taere was a x-ar.e game going on, are tae words of the nar rarer. By 9 o’clock tho weight cf tho rum bar rels and of tao sea water brought the Ap- bcar.it.” But the lieutenant gave him e very short answer. The captain—Capt. Wagnorn—was on board, and also the ai- mirai; but admirals and captains are not consulted iu such matters. Tho lives o. those at sea, as of those oa land, are mainly m the hands of subordinates. In a very short time the carpenter re- peate.l his warning, cud ihe" lieutenant answered: “Sir, if you can manage the ship better thau 1 can, you had hotter take the command.” le a minute or two after- war J, it is true, the foolhardy officer or dered the drummer to be called to beat to There ue to get it. “Let us try,” said our sailer to toe lieutenant of his gun, “to fcouta our gun out without waiting for the drum, a> it will help to right the snip.” They pushed the U«re<A LiJ« 111 LA 1 right ship, but it was then too late. T was no time to beat his drum, orev -n ‘i gun. but it rau l-aez ou them, a.id the. could not start it.
