HORRORS OF THE STEERAGE. Inspecting ibo Kmlgraut Quarter? of ni Ocean Steamer. Misa Charlotte G. O'Brien, daughter o: Smith O'Brien, of '"Young Ireland' fame, senda to tho Pall Mall Gatette i lotter entitled "Horrora on au Emigranl Ship," which creates a profound senna lion and will he the suhjec' of a ouestioE in the HOIIM; of Commons on Monda) by O'Donuell. Miss O'Brien visiteo Queenstown in order to examine thc mode of life of emigrant!*, on a steamer, which vessel, however, she does nol name. The following are the main poiuts : CONTU?8T8. "It is unnecessary to say thal wherevei thc sacred foot of wealth trod on this ship all was gold and silver, shining bras?, cleanliness, comfort and decency. We had come un board, however, to see thc emigrants, and we were determined '.o see iheir quarters first. When we saw tho quarter* of tho ningle men descrip tions of slave ships flashed across me. Below this place our guide ?bowed us a deep hole, saying, '! could not take you down there; it is much worse than wiiat you fee.' But my business was with the women's quarter-, and we went there. Between two decks helter lighted t"<an the men's quarters was a larper space open from one ?dde nf the ship lo tho other. THF. WOMEN'fi QUARTERS. '"From either side of a long ccntrul walk to the outer walks of tho ship were flung two enormous hammocks-one sus pended about threo feet from the floor, v/hat was going on in two other ham mocks above thcuo I could not nee, but I presumo they were the sumo as those below. I suppose each of tho.-o ham mocks carry about one hundred person.i. They were made of sailcloth, und being suspended all around from hooks were perfectly flat. Narrow stripH nf sailcloth divide this great bed into berths. Thoe strips of cloth, when thc mattresses were out, formed division* about eight inches high. When the mattresses ure in it must be ul most on a level. HERDED I.IKK BEASTS. "Now. in llieso beds lie hundred* ol men ami women. Any mun who come? with ti woman who ts or call* herself hil wife aleen*, as n mutter of right, in the mid-t ol'hundreds of young women who aro conipf!led-to livo in his presence ?lay and night. Il they remove their clothes they niutit do so under his eye*. If they lie down to rest it must bo beside him. It is n shame even to speak of thoso 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 aro empty, swept and gn rn ia h ed. SCENE AT NIOIIT. "Bul think of the scene in the dark ness of ihe night, tho ship pitching in mid-ocean, when a glimmering lamp or two makes visible to you thc mass of moaning humanity. Look at thatyouug mother with two or three helpless babies iu tho ngouies of seasickness, unable to move but over the prnstrnto bodies ot her fellow sufferers. Look at this inno cent girl child lying among dissolute men and abandoned women, half suffo catiou und sea-sickness, amid curses and groans of hundreds. Ir she nriseB anti flees to save her soul, whither shall she Po ? Again she must tread on tho watli ng bodies of men and women. A LIVING HORROR. "But tho picturo is too horrible lo be looked at, tho sounds too dreadful to liston to. This is uo brutal ur impure dream, it is truth. It is a living borro-, menacing the lives, honor and souls .. hundreds and thousand* of our fell ; country women, the ship on which I saw these thing* being Httpposed to carry in this manner 1,000 steerage passengers. She carried last vear nu ono voyage 1775emigrants. 1 was grieved totee the American Aug floating over n whited sepulchre like that beautiful boat, haunted by tho memories of sin, full of ravening wickedness nnd nil mininer of unclean u csu." Strange Sensations. Conductor A. S. Parker, of the Grand Trunk Railrosd, who resides in Battle Creek, Mich., by an accident lost a leg and arm at Stillwell Station. The members severed from the body were left lying by tho side of the track, while the body wu* immediately conveyed to South Bend for medical assistance. As st>nn ns he recovered consciousness he begun to complain that his right arm waa in a cramped condition. HU attendant, knowing his arm wus many miles away by the side of the railroad track, paid no attention to his complaints, thinking him out of his head. He still continued his assertions that tho Angers ot his right ann were doubled under his hand, and asked his assistants to send and get his arm at Stillwell. By his speech they Baw that he realized tho accident, and a telegram wan sent to Stillwell to send the mutilated mm to ita owner. The request was carried nut, and the arm sent to him by express. So soon as it was taken jp off the ground, a few mo meut* after the telegram was sent. Parker remarket! to his assistants that his arm was all right nuw, that they bud picked it un. Every time a person took hold of it along the route Parker would speak of it, and cry out with pain wheu'it was roughly handled ; and whenever any of his attendants touched it while il lay in the next room to him ho knew it as quickly 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 moat singular yet well au thenticated care* 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 unexplain able phenomenal mysteries which at e met with in the study of nature. A Colorado Spider Story. A short dNnnco from Buena Vista, sayB the Leadville (Co.) Chronicle, is a cave inhabited by spiders which diner from other spiders in their enormous size and are quite useful to the needy people of that region. Thu cave was discovered last December by n party nf eight-seers, and the spiders and their work were witnessed. Ou entering the cave on? 'la first struck by the -funny looking webs. They are worked lile webs of other spider*, but every fibre ls ton times aa large as the ones woven by ordinary r piders. On passing further into the cave the spiders are encountered, They are about abe size of small birds and make n strange noise while weaving their web. T te webs are so tough and the fibre BO large that it is almost an impossibility to break down a web. Borne four weeks ago while looking nt the cave a miner got to examining tho webe. Their straits were about the size of a number 12 thread, and he thought that they contd be used for thread. Having a needle in bit? possession he broke off ono of tho strands and found that it fitted the needle. Sewing a loose button to test the efficacy be found it ai strong aa silk thread, and that it answer ed his purpose. Since then the people have flocked in and carried away h oe ti ot the webs, but theapiders do not appeal ' to object in tho least. There is some tall amt ..ig capitalists of starting a thread factory there and using the webs foi thread. - Prayer by the chaplain of the Penn sylvania Hmso of Representatives: "O Lordl give these lawmakers more brains!

An exception to tb< rule, however, we have to record. More than two yean ago a well-kiowt and popular telegraph operator, stationed coi ved an insult from a brother operatoi in Greenville, S. C. Generous and lib' eral in everything else, he could nol brook personal reflection, and the sling rankled in his wind. For two year? wherever tho two operators have been in communication, the words have seemed curter, the letters cut aborter, until th? unfeeling instrumenta themselves have seemed to espouse the quarrel. Last Saturday they broke out into angrj bickering, hot words wero exchanged foi not Words, faster and more furious gre? the war, the click-click of the instrument* waa deafening, when,suddenly, il reacher] a climax, the deadly in?ult waa gi ven anti received, and the instrumenta resumed their ordinary ?dow and businesslike tone.
