HORRORS OF THE STEERAGE. Inspecting the Emigrant Quarters of an Ocean Steamer. ! Miss Charlotte Q. O'Brien, daughter of 8mitb O'Brien, of "Young Ireland" fame, sends to the Pall Mall Gazette a letter entitled "Horrors on an Emigrant Ship," which creates a profound sensa? tion and will be the subject of a question in the House of Commons on Monday by O'Dunuell. Miss O'Brien visited Queenstown in order to examine the mode of life of emigrants, on a steamer, wbicb vessel, however, she does not name. The following are the main points: CONTRASTS. "It is unnecessary to say that wherever the sacred foot of wealth trod on this ship all was gold and silver/ shining brass, cteanliness, comfort and decency. We had come on board, however, to^ see j the emigrants, and we were determined to see their quarters first. When we saw the quarters of the single men descrip? tions of slave ships flashed across me. Below this place our guide showed us a deep hole, saying,-'I could not take you down there; it is much worse than what you see.' But my business was with the women's quarter* and we went tbere. Between two decks better lighted tban the men's quarters was a larger space open from one side of the ship to the other. THE WOMEN'S QUABTEB8. ''From either side of a long central walk to the outer walks of the ship were flung two enormous hammocks?one sus? pended about three feet from the floor. What was going on in two other ham? mocks above these I could not see, but I presume they were the same as those below. I suppose each of those ham? mocks carry about one hundred persons. They were made of sailcloth, and being suspended all around from hooks were perfectly flat.- Narrow strips of sailcloth divide this great bed into berths. These strips of cloth, when the mattresses were out, formed divisions about eight inches high. When the mattresses are in it must be almost on a level. HERDED LIKE BEASTS. .''Now, iu these beds,lie hundreds of men and women. Any man who comes wlWaVuman who is or calls herself "hiB wife sleepy as a matter of right, in :he m.id:-t of hundreds of young women who are compelled*to lire in hie presence day and night If they remove their clothes they must do so under bis eyes. If they lie down to rest it must be beside him. It is a shame even to speak of these things, but to destroy such an evil it is necessary to look at these abodes .of misery. In daylight, and when open for Inspection,, they are empty, swept and garnished. SCENE AT NIGHT. "But think of the scene in the dark? ness of the night, the ship pitching in mid-ocean, when a giimruerirw imp or two makes visible to you the nass of . moaning humanity. Look at that young mother with two or three helpless fcabies in the agonies of hea-sickhess, unable to move but over the prostrate bodies of her fellow sufferers. Look at this in no cent girl child lying among dissolute men and abandoned women, half suffo? cation and sea-sickness, amid curses and groans of hundreds. If- she-arises and . flees to save her soul, whither shall she go? Again she must tread on the.writh? ing bodies of men and women. *A LTvTN? HOBBOB. "But the picture is too horrible to he looked at, the sounds too dreadful to listen to. This is no brutal or impure dream, it is truth; It is a living horror, menacing the lives, honor and souls of hundreds and thousands of our fellow country women, the ship bn which I saw these things being supposed to carry in this manner 1,000 steerage passengers She carried last year on one voyage 1775emigrants. I was grieved to see the American flag floating over a wbileii sepulchre like that beautiful boat, haunted by the memories of sin, full of ravening wickedness and all manner of Unclean ness." Strange Sensations. Conductor A. S. Parker, of the Grand Trunk Railroad, who resides in Battlo Creek, Mich., by an accident lost a leg and arm at Stillwell Station. The members severed from the body were lefi; lying by the side of the track, while the body was immediately conveyed to South Bend for medical assistance. As soon sw he recovered consciousness he began to complain that his right arm was in a cramped condition. His attendant, knowing bis arm was many miles away by the side of the railroad track, paid op attention to bis complaints, thinking him out of his head. He still continued bis assertions that the fingers' of - his-right arm were doubled under his hand, and asked his assistants to send and get his arm at Stillwell. By his speech they saw that he realized the accident, and a telegram was sent to Stillwell to send the mutilated arm to its owner. The request was carried our, and the arm sent to him by express. So soon as it was taken-up off the ground, a few mo? ments after the telegram was sent, Parker remarked to his assistants that his arm was all right now, that they bad picked it up. Every time a person took bold of it along the route Parker would speak of it, and cry out with pain when it was roughly handled; and whenever any of his attendants touched it while it lay in the next room to him be knew it as quickiy as though the arm were still at? tached to his body. The messenger who got the arm said that he found it just as Parker had said it was, with the fingers cramped under it. This is one of the most singular yet well au? thenticated cases on record, where a man could feel an arm which was cut off and lay many miles from him, and which had been cut off many hours. The physicians are baffled to account for it, ana can only class it under the head of the uoexplain able phenomenal mysteries which are met with in the study of nature. A Colorado Spider Story. A short distance from Buena Vista, says the Leadville (Co.) Chronicle, is a cave inhabited by spiders which differ from other spiders in their enormous size and are quite useful to the needy people of that region. The cave was discovered last December by a party of sight-seers, and the spiders and their work were witnessed. On entering the cave one is first struck by the -funny looking webs. They are worked like webs of other spiders, but every fibre is ten times as large as the ones woven by ordinary spiders. On passing further into the cave the spiders are encountered, They are about the size of small birds and make a strange noise while weaving their web. T ie webs are so tough and the fibre so large that it is almost an impossibility to break down a web. Some four weeks ago while looking at the cave a miner got to examining the webs. Their strans were about the size of a number 12 thread, and he thought that they could be used for thread. Having a needle in his possession be broke off one of tho strands and found that it fitted the needle. Sewing a loose button to test the efficacy be found it as strong as silk thread, and that it answer? ed his purpose. Since then the people have flocked in and carried away hosts of the webs, but the spiders do notappear to object in the least. There is some talk among capitalists of starting a thread factory there and using the webs for thread. ? Prayer by the chaplain of the Penn? sylvania House of Representative*: "0.

A.company composed of charitably disposed persons has been formed iu New York, under tbe title of the Metropolitan Coffee House Company, with a capital of $100,000, for tbe purpose of supplying j nourishing food and non-intoxicating J drinks at low prices.

A beautiful and touching little sight occurred on Sunday before last at tbe Statesburg Episcopal Church.

The forthcoming May crop and stock reports of the Ohio State Board of Ag? riculture, will be a valuable and reliable document. The information is based on estimates made by about 1,000 correspon? dents iu nearly all tbe townships of the State, mostly practical farmers. The figures sbow that only 19 per cent, of last year's crop, or 1,378,299 bushels of wheat, are still in tbe bands of tbe producers, and tbat the probable yield of tbe State this year will be about 44,895,653 bush? els, or 85 per cent of last year's fine crop. ? Tho following is told of a well known "beauty lady," who is happy in' the possession of a little girl about five years old almost as pretty ?s her mother: Not long ago an elderly, eminently re? spectable gentleman made an afternoon - call, and, as elderly gentlemen often do, he took up tbe child and kissed her. "You most not do tbat," said tbe child, struggling, "I am a respectable married woman." "What do you mean, my dear?" asked, the astonished visitor. "Oh, that's what mamma always says when gentlemen .ki? her," replied the artless infant.?London Cuckoo. Tbe Lancaster Ledge* says: "The re? port reaches us of a brutal assault com? mitted upon a young white boy in tbe tbe Waxbaws, on Friday last, upon tbe place of Mr. Cole Blake, by a negro man. It appears that Mr.Blake,and his brother, fifteen years old, bad bad some previous difficulty with the negro, who worked upon Blake's place, but tbe difficulty, as ?*uppc"fd, bad been amicably settled. On Friday last the negro came upon the boy in the field and whipped htm unmer? cifully, leaving him for dead. Tbe negro left for distant parts closely pursued by a body of enraged citizens. ? Of tbe 1,000,000,000 acres of culti? vable lana in the United States, only IU per cent, are used. The 2,586,468,320 bushels of wheat, coro, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat and potatoes raised last year were produced on 105,983,605 acres, and the cultivation is in most cases careless. It looks now as though it would be along time before the great area of cultivable land will be taken up and utilized. -With the natural increase, of our population and the increase by immigration, it will be found that fifty years will have re? duced this area very materially. The best land will be taken up, and we shall have more careful cultivation and an enormous product. ? A merchant in Mississippi, who held a mortgage on-the crop of a farmer in that State, foreclosed it at the time allowed by tbe contract. Tbe lowercourt allowed the debt against the farmer, al? though it was shown by evidence that the prices charged for tbe goods bought were at least double the cash rates. The farm? er appealed from the lower to tbe Su? preme Court, which reversed the first de? cision and affirmed that tbe farmer was not in a position tu decline the purchase on account of the prices charged, and that he acquiesced in tbe prices because of stern necessity. His extorted assent to tbe prices charged was without consid? eration and was, therefore void.

A Challenge by TelegTaph and a Meet? ing1 In Person. A "cursing out" 'er the wires comes in such' a round about way, the words fall in such a cold and spiritless manner from the transmitter that the instance is ?perhaps rare in which the insult pro? vokes a collision. An exception to the rule, however, we have to record. . More than two years ago ja. well-known and popular telegraph operator;stationed at this place, in an irritable moment re? ceived an insult from a brother operator in Greenville, S. C. Generous and lib? eral in everything else, he could not brook personal reflection, and the sting rankled in his mind. For two years, wherever the two operators have been in communication, the words have seemed curter, the letters cut shorter, until the unfeeling instruments themselves have seemed to espouse the quarrel. Last Saturday they broke out into angry bickering, hot words were exchanged for hot words, faster and more furious grew the war, the click-click of the instruments was deafening, when,suddenly, it reached a climax, the deadly insult was given and received, and the instruments resumed their ordinary slow and business-like lone. "Will you meet me and give me satis? faction V was said in a cold and deliber? ate manner. "I will," was the answer, in a manner equally cold and deliberate. "Where?" "On half way ground. The passenger trains meet at Gastonia. I will meet you thero to-night." "0. K." This was all. The Charlotte operator closed the instrument, obtained leave of absence, got into his coat and boarded the train for-Gastonia. One o'clock in the morning, the moon shining bright, Gastonia, and the other train in sight. A few minutes iuterval and the antago? nists confronted each other. The Char? lotte man weighs about 130 pounds The Greenville man 170. The latter had two friends with him evidently to insure fair play. A hundred yards were measured off, sufficient to take them from the range of observation, a suitable spot was selected and the two men laid off their coats. The Charlotte operator, quick and ac? tive, but otherwise at a disadvantage, made the onset and delivered several well-directed blows upon the'face of the other. The latter in his turn closed with him and attempted to throw him. The activity of the first again came to his assistance and successfully got the inturnon.his enemy, but, in the.fall,un? fortunately struck b? head against the corner of a fence. Bis attention was to? tally absorbed in looking at stars for the next few seconds, which his antagonist took advantage of to invert the order ot their position. The 170 pounder now had it all his.own way. Be sat on top of the Charlotte man and beat him till he was too tired to beat any longer. The Charlotte man is true grit, however, and under more favorable auspices probably would have won the fight. No qVarter was asked or given. The names. are withheld by request.?

In the year 1873, there were two negro prisoners confined In the jail of this county, who were very badly afflicted with that loathsome disease Syphilis. In my official capacity as Ordluary, I employed Capt. C. T. Swift, then a resident of this place, to cure them, uudcr a contract, "no eure, no pay." Ho administered to them his celebrated Syphilitic Specific, and in a few wrekx I felt bound, under my contract, to pay him out uf thecountv treasury, as he had erected a complete and radical cure. In testimony I hereunto set my official signa *,???.* ture and seal. I Seal I A; S. GILES, ?>?'? Ordinary Houston County, Ga. Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 14, 1979. We tako pleasure in saying that the S.S.S. is giving good satisinctlon. We bavc had excellent results from a number of cases. One gentleman, who had bi-eu confined to his bed six weeks with Syphilitic Rheumatism, has been cured ontirely, and speaks in the highest praise of It.
