?I A Dread Romance of tbo Ho/?. Tlio Uritiuh steamer "Wed indian," which arrived at Baltimore a few days ago, brouglt from Jamaica thc- news of ono of lue most heartrending marine disasters which even thc present tempest uous winter hus caused. About tiie middle of tact month thc British bark "Fontabelle," Capt. Nixon, Hailed from Jamaica for London, having on board a crew of twenty-five men and ten passengers, including tho captain's wife and th reo children, uud two young couples who had been married only ?ix weeks before. Tho voyage opened with promise; tho wind wow fuir and gentle, nud everything indicated a quick and pleasant passage to tho English shores. Thc West Indian seas, however, are treacherous, and when one day out the wind fell, and thc vessel lay becalmed, rolling lazily upon the long waves. Four days after sailing, when every sail was sci to catch tbe listless breeze, a hurri cane of prodigious fury fell without warning upon the bark, and dripped her of masts and rigging in ten minutes' time. Tho gale increased in fury, and tho dismasted hulk was driven violently before it, being repeatedly nw?j '. by huge waves, which momentarily threatened to sink it by the weight of tho to 3 of water which they threw on board. The pas sengers and crew, abandoning hope, crouched under tho bulwarks, and through tnt- long night listened to the "howling of the wind und thr shrieks of anguish, ns, one by one, their numbers were diminished by the relentless seas. Vivid flushes of lightning ut times illu mined the ?'ene, making itt detail? more terrible. With every dash thc passen gers who crouched in the stern could perceive ono ol the young married cou ples clinging to thc wreck and to each o?'icr, tho husband standing over his wife to shield her from the force ol the '/aves. Ore wave of unusual power struck tho pair and torc from the body of thc young wife the night clothing in which she was wrapped; whereupon the husband, strip ping oft" bis own clothing, fastened it about his wife, and leaving her bound securely to tho side, plunged down into thc hold, nt the risk of his life, and brought up for her more suitable attire. Just us the dawn was breaking thc climax came. A tremendous wavo hurled tho vessel high in tho air ; it carno down crashing upon a reef; another torrent of water struck the deck, and the captain and ton men, with tho young bride, wero hurled iuto tho sea. As she was torn from her husband's arms, tho latter ap peared dupefied, but tho next moment leaped alter her with a tcrriblo cry, and ho, too, was swept away and out of sight of thc horrified survivors. To these the prospect of instant death was not tobo avoided, and they clung to their fasten ings and watched with despair the slow crumbling of tho vessel beneath the blows of tho ?cn. About noon tho dorm abated, and the survivors began to gather a littlo courage. The night came, and tho other bride, overcome by exhaustion, died in tho arms of her husband. Day dawned again, but only to nrouso ono of tba seamen, who, crazed by thirst, leaped into thc sea before tho eyes of his horri fied companions, mid sank forever. In the clenr water they could seo his body descend, until, thirty feet below them, it lodged in a hollow of thc rocks. To ward night the wind again roso, und the storm raged so fiercely that, when tho morning came, soveu more had been ?wept away, and only the mate, ono sea man and tho captain's wifo remained nlivo. Late in the afternoon of this awful day a ve-iacl hove in sight, per ceived tho plight of the survivors, mid sent a crew of six men to rescuo them. But tho pitiless sea had not yet been appeased with victims; a wavo overturn ed thc boat when it hud almost roached tho bark, and tho entirn nrnw were drowued in tho Rurf beneath tho very eyes of thoso whom their bravery had vainly attempted to save. Anothor boat was Rent oil', however, and nt groat risk brought on board the mon and woman who und sat with Death for eight and forty hours. Thia is but one- of the terrible tales which ar? evory year brough,1 homo by those who go down io tho sea in ships, rind which mako thc romnnces of imagi nativo writers Hccm Uko idle tales. It is rarely thnt n shipwreck occurs which is attended by more distressing details, hut tho seas aro full of terrors, mnny of which aro known only to thoso who die in them, and whose fate is nover known. Such narratives ns these givo a livoly stimulus to the imagination in thinking of tho multitudinous wrecks from which no survivor has ever como, and which co to swell tho chapter* of romance of the mysterious and threatening dcop. Jewish Strcntgh in America? Tho remit of tho first systematic at tempt to ascertain tho strength of Juda ism on thi.i continent has just been Iuiblishcd. For many years ppst there las been in tho sect a growing demand for ?orno statistical information con cerning the Israelites in tho United States, not altino ns an exhibit of ma- 1 terial prosperity or status ns n roligious sect, but as a meami of enabling the djf. ferent chore >s to act in concert in all thnt concerueu them as children of the Abrnbamic faith. In 1875 the Board of 1 Dolezateaof Amoricon Israelites, with the ;o-operation of the Unlou of American Hebrew congregations, undertook tho task of securing the desired information, i thc chiof charge of the matter hoing 1 placed in tho bands of Mr. William ll. 1 Hachenburg, of this city. Considerable 1 difficulty was experienced in obtaining reliable figures, some of tho congrega- ' tiona declining to respond, while in some ; places, whoro^ neither congregation J nor 1 Jewish societies existed, the committee was compelled to rely upon their indi- - vidual effort. Altogether, returns recaived from 1,000 i places-show that in 1878 .tbcro wero in 1 tho United States 278 congregations, with a raoraborabjp of 12,540, and ?hat l tho immber of Israelites was 230,257. Making allowauco for tho places not 1 hoard from, the total Jewish population is plo;ed at 250,000 souls. Of these : about 12,000 are located in Pennsylvania, i Tho_oldest congregation in the country is i ibo Slmaray aiinmnylm, of Lan caste reor ganized in 1773, while tho Rodof Sha lom, of Philadelphia, is tho next oldest, Laving bren organized in 1780. The richest congregation is the Tensile Emanuel, of Now York, which, although only established i? 1813, and having but 462 members, owns real estate and other property to tho value of $700,000. The public institutions established by the ?cet in tho Uhitcd States includo five hospitals, eleven orphan asylums and homes, and six freo schools. Its doc trines are enunciated by savon toe u nows papers and magazines. The 278 congrega tions in America own between them prop orty valued at $6,750,000. and over 18,000 children attend tho religious schools. - Tho following is Gen.

W. Thompson, * lia Proprietor of a notorious divo in Dullus. exas. For years patt tho man had paid periodical visits to Chicago ; ho bas, entered the homes of the pooler classes and carried od'young gills whom ho has, aa incredibly reported, doomed lo lives ol shame. Ho hus generally been aided in his attempts, it is alleged, by Authur (J. MeCatnbridgc, an alleged dramatic ugent. About the beginning of December Thompson came hero und got some girls into Ins clutches, but nt tho last inemont was bulked in his designs. A few weeks later, through Iiis agent, ho made another attempt, anti it was ny tho merest chante that three yoting girls from tho North side escaped from his grasp. Theil names arc Annie Strauss, of No. 81 Kee street; Freddie littckmauti, of No. 142 Mast Chicago Avenue, and Anni': Schaeffer, of No. 108 Clybourn Avenue. On6 day a fellow who wore lite assumed name of AI i 11er, called at thc homo of Annie Strauss and slate j that he wished to engage her for a trip to Kankakee. Ho said that he nm tho a^cul of .Mr. Km met, of tho Academy of Mu. ic, who nus about to put on thc road u con csrn tobo known as tho Arlington Troupe. He wanted girls with Unaly def ?tapad figures, to peso us statues in certain nets of thc play, and would givo to each a salary of $10 a woe it. Annie Strauss at once Vssentod, und went with th? man to the homo of lier friend, A II nie Schaeffer. Tho lutter, who is a poor and ignorant, bul very handsome girl of 17, also agreed to join tlionlleged troupe on the proposed terms. Miller neat induced Miss Back munn to sign a contract, and also :i little Swedish girl, whoso mime could not be learned. Tho girls, who uro all tho children of respectable hard-working people, fell easily into tho snuro which was prepared for thom. On thc day appointed for their do parture, Annie Schaeffer was not ready and she was left behind. Miller, accom panied by three other girls, started for the depot, but on tho way tho victims began to suspect that thero win some thing wrong uboul their escort. Ho lot drop some hints of a long journey, of a suuny clime, etc., und tho girls discov ered that he hud told euch ol them diff erent stories. Thu truiu was just about to start. Miller &aid: "Jump on," when A unit Straus* asked him to picoso show the tickets. Miller wouldn't do BO, but begged tho girls to get into tho car, anti, as they rciolutely refused, ho was final ly forced to tell them that ho he was about to take them to Texas. Without listening to his promises and lueats, tho girls got out of the dopot as fast as they could and hastened back to their respectivo homes. Tho description that tho girls give of their would-be abductor tallies with that of an individual who is often seen about McCambridgo's rooms, on South Clark street. Thero can, apparently, bo no doubt whatever that the notorious J W. Thompson, of Texas, was nt tho bot tom of tho schanie, which so nearly suc ceeded. Ile annually obtained a iorgo number of ignorant and, in many casca innocent, girls from this city, and tho authorities think ilia about, i i nu: time tho slave trade in which he is engaged should besurpressed.- Chicago Time?, Jan. 4. South Curoliua and Florida. Tho translations of tho cipher dis patches discloso negotiations on tiio part of certain nenr friends of Mr. Tild?n, lifter the election, to secure Ibo electoral voto.of tho States of South Cnreliua and Florida. Theso persons s;em to have apprehended ?hat the electoral voto of thuso States, which they believed be longed to Mr. Tilden, would be corruptly declared for Mr. Hayes, and lo have re garded themselves unjustified in endeav oring to defeat tim coriupt and fraudu lent action by submitting to tho payment of moneys, which they were informad some members af tho canvassing board demanded, by way of blackmail, as con sideration for withholding them from this wrong, and tn havo thereupon en tered into negotiations with those claim ing to reprosout those boards to thal ond. Ot courao such negotiations are from their nature couducted secretly and cir cuitously. The claim nf Dunu, /.a5 ?j the South Carolina canvassers, now a fugitive from justice in that State, that he entertained und communicated propo sitions from Hardy Solomon for the pur chase of that board merely as a means of Unding out and exposing tho plans of Democrats ; like Wharton, thy Federal marshal's claims thiit ho suggested the purchase by. the Democrats irom Wells of the voto of Louisiana with the nols view of exposing and preventing such a sale-aro pretences not to be seriously re ceived. And wo have little doubt that lhere was reason lo believe that the boards of both Florida and South Caro lina were, for salo, and thero WAS ground for regarding tho electoral votes ot those States as actually and justly belonging to Mr. Tilden. Aud tho etlort to retain them where they w^ro thought to j?stl? bolong has been forcibly comps cd to tho action of those who buy their friends out of tho hands of brigands, or pay ransom to preservo their own. Hut whether this bo so or not, wu do not in any way justify or excuse their action. They committed a gross wroug. dangerous to the candidates they desired to servo and an unqualified outrago upon the great parly to which they belonged, So fur as appears from the testimony boioro us. theso negotiations were not authorized by tho Democrat!?. National Committee nor its Ohairmaia nor any person entitled to speak for them. Neither has any witness testified that these negotiations wore authorized or approved by tho candidate for Ute Presi dency. In the casa of South Carolina the ne foliations - proceeded so far that this Hardy Solomon, claiming to bo tho agent of tho Canvassing Board, carno to Balti more to receive the sum of $60.000 or $80,000, to bo deposited payable when any part of the vote of that State was counted for Tilden, and an application being then made to Mr. Tilden, to ad vance the same, ho at once declined and refused to havo anything to do with the negotiations, whereby the ?ame was broken up aud defeated.-Ecjxtrl of Con gressional Committee. - "Tho Rise and Fall of tho Confed ato Governemnt," is tho title of tho new book', by Mr. Jefferson Davis, aud on which he bas beon engaged for the last five years.
