LONDON, Maj 28.-The debate in the
House of Commons, last night, on the
supplemental article to the treaty of
Washington, and the reply of Gladstone
to questions of Disraeli, relative thereto,
form the subject of leading editorial ar?
ticles in the London morning journals.
The answer of Gladstone is regarded as
unsatisfactory, as it adda nothing to the
information already obtained upon the
aubjeot.

Others have not yet been heard from,
but all thdse recounted above have been
totally wrecked, and their crews have
not been accounted for, except in very
rare instances; and the few who were
saved pould not give any definite intelli?
gence of those they had loft behind
them. Ont of 4,000 souls only 175 have
been aooounted for. Most of these
vessels were dashed to pieces on iceberg!
and fields of ice, during a terrifio burn
cane. Many of them were insured it
American oomp?nies, and merchants it

interested in the fleet. The wholesale
disaster spreads poverty and rait
throughout Newfoundland, where th?
victims nearly all belonged, as well ai
the vessels generally.
During the night of the loss, th*
steamship Retriever and sixteen sail o
vessels were hemmed in by high boul

fleet lay to, aa a last effort to survive th
hurricane, many crafts .ont down eao!

corded, wherein -a vessel, driven on a
iceberg by a huge sea, fell back, with
mighty crash, upon the brig Twin Sb
tors, which lay beneath the berg. .
large number of men were iostantl
crushed to death, and the Twin Sietei

only fifteen, out of ninety-eight, don
to the broken spars, and were, b
chance, picked up by the' crew of tb
Retriever. The day after the storm, tL
ice opened, and the steamship Retrievi
made land; on reaching which, she soo
and keeled over, but her crew suoceede
in escaping to the shore. She was tl
only vessel that reaohed the shore, out i
the fleet of sixteen that were in her vic

of the fleet are still to be heard fror
and their fate may be even aa gloomy i
that of the forty-one vessels, of whioh tl

Somebody writing in the New York
Times, from Clarksville, Va., advocates
a novel plan for taking the wind out of j
the Liberal Bepublioan sails and carry .
ing tho South en masse over io Grant.
It is nothing less than that the Philadel?
phia Convention shall insert a plank in
its platform in favor of the remunera?
tion of the Southern people for the loss
of their slave property. If suoh a pro?
position should.bo mudo in the Conven?
tion, what a breeze it would raise! And
yet stranger things have happen od in
this year pf political surprises.
A bright little girl in Williamsport,
having been desired to write a sentence
introducing the word "carrion," pea-,
sented the following to her teaohor:
"Bad ohildren often oarri-on in church
when they ought to bo quiet."
SUCH IS FAME.-When Bryant, the
poet, was in Mexico recently, be met an
American lady, and after the introduo
tion shu said toa friend: "Everybody io
New York knows Mr. Bryant, and they
all go to hear his minstrels stag."
A Kentucky schoolmaster lately mar?
ried one of hts pupils, a girl of twelve.
SOCIAL DECEIT.-One of the funniest
little bits of semi-hypocrisy to which,
certain mien of a social tarn of mind re?
sort when questioned too closely by in?
judiciously oarioas wives ss to their
goings ana comings, is a sort of partner?
ship deception, in which they are aided
and abetted by the proprietors of liquor
saloons and places of resort. It is a
most lamentable trntb that many men
are fond of concealing petty vices which
canses them to desert the domestic fire?
side for aa hoar or two, that they may
eojoy a pleasant game of billiards aod a |
segar, or have a quiet ohat with an old
friend over a glass or two of liquor or
ale. Whether a- man, over whose
wretched head continually hangs the
grim prospeot of a Oaudle lecture, is jus?
tified in thuB deoeiving his wife, is a
question in ethics we are not prepared
to discuss. Every man. must settle that
little matter with his own conscience
and his own wife. Ours is to deal with
facts as we find them. American hus?
bands are too shrewd to break into open
rebellion againt the lawful authority of
their wives, aad so they strivo by deceit
to accomplish that temporary release
from conjugal supervision which they
nover could achieve by bold, outspoken
mutiny. In this undertaking, the hus?
bands have secured the willing co-opera?
tion of saloon-keepers, who have en?
tered into the couspiraoy with a keen
relish that proves them to be good
judges of human nature. Scores of the
porter-houses, billiard saloons and other
tippling-pluces are called by names in?
vented for thu express purpuso of con?
cealing their true charactor. Many a
wife sees her husband leave tho domestic
fireside with a High for the urgent busi?
ness that apparently keeps him every
night so late at "the store," or "the
office.*' Tho truth doubtless is, how
' ever, that the places known by these de?
ceptive names are nothing more or less
than liquor saloons.
Many a loving wife hus seeu her
treacherous spouse go to tho "lodge,"
and wished that women might belong to
the order, so she could go with him.
But tho "lodge" he means is only an?
other specimen of man's deceit to con?
ceal his failings.
The "armory," too, is aa institution
which naturally demands a great deal of
the time and attention of those young
and euthuf tastio soldiers who constitute
the life and soul of our National Guard.
But there is an "armory" where neither
musket, carbine nor sword is ever seen
where the only weapons are made of
fragile glass, where a great many "loads"
are put dowu, but not with ram-rods,
and where tho ammunition used, though
perhaps equally as fatal as gun-powder,
does not usually kill quite as quick.
The "drill-room" is another favorite
military resort. Tho drilling is usually
done ia small squads, and the evolutions
are exceedingly simple. The "manual 1
of arms," as here taught, consists of but
few motions, easily learned, and with
whioh most young mon are already fa- j
miliar.
The old, quaint and in many oases ut?
terly senseless names selected by the
proprietors of chop-houses and drinking
salooas are almost beyond computation.
Among the latter may be mentioned
"The 10 40 Loon," the house kept by
Harry Lazarus at the tim*? of his mur
der, and "The X-10-U-ate," (extenuate,)
from which plaoe the murderer, Barney
Friery, oume to strike the fatal blow.
The war naturally suggested a number
of military names. lu addition to those
already mentioned, there were "The
Knapsack," the "Reveille," the "Assem?
bly," the "Cartridge-Box," "Headquar?
ters," besides macy special regimental,
oorps and company resorts.
For the sailors, there are also certain
special names, though they mostly lack
originality, being simply "Sailors'Sung
Harbors, " ' 'Seamen's R J treats, " or some?
thing equally commonplace.
The attempts to catch tho oyo of tra?
velers, and win their custom by some
fancied home association, are many, nnd
"Our House," "The Cottage," "The
Old House at Home," and other titles
are supposed to appeal especially to all
who are strangers in a strange land.
The "House of Lords" aod "House of
Caramons," as may bo supposed, are
English houses.
There ure, of course, mauy houses, the
names of whioh appeal to national feel?
ing and prejudices, as "Tho Thistle,"
tho "Bagpipes," the "Plaid and Tar?
tan," for Scotch; "Erin go Brugb," the
"Green lalo," tho "Fenian," tho "Oulti
Dart," and others, for the Irish; the
"Telegraph," the ''Express," "Cobweb
Hall," the "Sido Pocket," the "Club
Boom," and tho "Star," all lind numer?
ous customers, und there are pleuty of
"Shades" to be found even in the bright?
est sunshine.

TUB POLICY OF ras G KANT RADIOALB.
A Grant Radical, of more zeal thea dis
oretion, declared on the street recently,
to a Greeley Democrat, that the Admi- \
castration party would spend $2,000,000
at the Baltimore Convention, to influence
the Democrats to make a straight-out
Democratic nomination.
This shows clearly the animus of the
party in power, and admonishes Demo?
crats to be not deceived by the silver
tongued serpenta of the Badical party
who are endeavoring to flatter them into I
the nomination of a straight-out Demo?
cratic ticket at the Baltimore Conven?
tion. I
They will lose no occasion, from now
until the Demooratio Convention assem?
bles, to offer to the an wary Democrat
thia apple of discord, and, like their pro?
genitor of old, beg of them to "eat, for
ye shall not surely diet"
But we can say to this party who have
gained and expect to perpetuate their
power by bribery, that delegates will be
sent from this State to the Baltimore
Convention who oannot be purchased for
gold or place into a betrayal of the peo?
ple's trust. And we have an abiding
hope that every State will be equally
guarded in the eleotion of delegates to
this most important Convention ever
held upon the American continent.
