The-election in Rhode Island for Go? vernor resulted as follows:, Howard, Re? publican, 9,273; Chase, Democrat, 3,565. The captain of the Atlantlo attributes the disaster to the speed of the teasel, wbjug must have made more than nine knots to get so far out of. her course. The captain seems overwhelmed1 with sorrow.' 'He said to a reporter: j*J|? think that while hundreds of men were, saved; every woman should rhavo perish? ed 1 . It is horrible. If I had been able to save even one woman, I oould boar the disast'or; but to lose all, it is terrible, terrible! He seemed to fully realize that the world would hold him to a strict account. The latest accounts report 418 saved, and 560lost, including 350 women and ohildren. The cargo was generally fashionable dry goods, valued at ?500, ooo. -.;v F .. ?'. Generals Beltnap, Sheridan and Meyer left St. Louis, in a palace oar, for Houston, Texas, wheuce they will leave in an ambulance for the Rio Grande. Harrowing details of the awful scenes attending the loss of the steamship At? lantic continue to be received. ' All the women who. were asleep at the time the ship struck were drowned in their berths, the heavy sea which constantly poured over the vessel and filled her, preventing them from reaohing the deck. Some women, who showed remarkable pre? sence of mi ud and appreciation of the awful situation, only reaohed the deck to be washed into the sea and drowned. So ort alter, six men ou shore wrote on a black-board: "Cheer op; boats are com? ing to your assistance." The announce? ment was responded to by hearty oheers1 from the ship. After half an hour of awful suspense, men were seen on the island carrying a boat over the rooks, and soon it was launched, and took off | three boat loads from the outlaying rook. While rescuing' these men, Captain Wilhams and the passengers called loudly to the crew of the boat to come to the ship and take them off first, as tbey were in the most imminent danger, the Captain saying: "I will give $500 for every boat load rescued." The boat afterwards made for tho vessel, and took off two boat loads. Half an honr later, another boat came, and rescued m u:y of those clinging to the rigging. Third officer Brady, who bad succeeded in reaohing the shore ovor a line carried from the vessel by himself, organized a ' orew, and materially aided in tho work of rescue. Washington, April 3.?The announce? ment of the death of James Brooks is incorrect. He has departed for Norfolk for a short Southern sea trip, in the hope of relief.

I do believe if a robber was to oome and carry me off you wouldn't oire a?What is it you say? City Council business muat be at? tended to I How do I know you go to the City Counoil? Does the City Coon oil meet o-v-e-r-y night? They dou't meet but oroe a week in New York. Bat I suppose R-o-m-e is a more impor? tant place. Oh, yea, out of every night 1 Twelve o'clock?1 o'clock?2 o'clock. Here I stay with the children all alone? lying awake half the night waiting for you. Couldn't oome homo atty sooner I Of course you couldn't, if you didu't want'to. But I know something; you think I don't, but I do. That I do. I wish I didn't. Where Were yon Monday night? Tell metbat. The marshal told me the City Council didn't meet that night. Now what have you got to say? Oooldu't get a quorum! Well, if yon oouldu't, why didn't you come home? Out o-v-c-r-y night?bunting for?a? quorum. But you wouldn't bunt for mo this late if I was missing. Where were ?ou Thursday night and Friday night? 'here was a sbow in town, wasn't there? What did you buy that bottle of hair oil for, and hide it? Oil for your bone, in? deed! Whoever heard of hair oil for a wbet-stone! So you think I didn't see you in tho other room brushing and greasing your hair and looking in the glass at your pretty self? A man ought to be diocnt. He ought, ought he! Yes, indeed, a man ought to, und u deneut man will stay at home with his wife sometimes und not be out e-r-e-r y night. How cornea it that the City Counoil didn't meet but twice a month last year?

You know ladies who ain't always a scolding their husbands! You do, do you? How oome you to know them? What business had yon to know them? What right have you to know whether other women fret or not?

Danbury News Nuooets.?It was au olegaut trousseau the daughter of the Khedive of Egypt had, not elegant trow sers, as our item gavo it. Mr. Hedge, who is recommended to try a watering-place next summer, is now riding around with tho dilfereut milk men on trial. The press and the pulpit may eay what they please, but a man ia dovoeolorcd pants and patent leather boots is not a fit person to adjust a tub for catching rain water. The first ro'oiu of the season appeared iu Danbury on Sunday, uud wus esoortc d through town oy nineteen bows and ur rows, sixty-two shot-guns, four muskets, j and eleven rifles. A very handsomely dressed young I man, who was waiting at bis horse's bead for Iiis girl, Sunday afternoon, and de? sired to demonstrate to the watching noigbbors bow familiar he could be with such au animal, put tho bead of the no? ble beast in his bosom, and just then the auimal sneezed, and?well, anybody who has seon a horse sneeze cau picture to himself the state of that shirt bosom and collar und vest, just as well ?s one of tho old masters could do it. A St. Louis roport thus charmingly desciibeii tho baptism of tho wife of a clergyman: "Rev. S. P. Anderson, on Sunday, baptized bis wife and two t*t hor sisters. Mrs. A. was handsomely arrayed in white alpaca, and came out of the regenerating fluid like a water sprite." The aiiHuenoe of pilgrims to Mecca is bYhb means a harmless effasion of reli? gions seal."~ There can be no doubt that the pilgrimage to that shrine undertaken in 1865 ares the means' by whioh the cholera was spread throughout Arabia, Egypt and Boumania, from whence it traveled to Germany and France. Mo? dern improvement has, however, happily invaded even thia great festival of the "changeless East;" The Uonileur de VAtgvrie aaserta that all sorts of sanitary precautions are to be taken, in order to render the journey of the hadjis not only innocuous to themselves, bnt to humanity in general. This ie, indeed, fortunate, since the pilgrimage this year will assume very large proportions. The number of pilgrims who will visit Mecca during the festival of the Courbam Bitirom will amount to 50,000?15,000 from India, 82,000 from the Ottoman Empire and 3,000 from Algeria. The offerings they will take with them repre? sent a value of many thousands of pounds, reckoning the gifts of the B?l? ten, of the ?ulUna Valide, and the high dignitaries of the empire. The cortege will be accompanied by a flock of sheep, numbering more than 200,000 bead. A little closer intercourse with Western civilization, and these pious persons will! go on a pilgrimage provided with tins of Ansiranku m?at and Bock Island lob? sters. ' Poblxo Lands?Texas has been using ber public lands to advantage. She has given one-tenth of them as railroad sub? sidies, and has given them so judiciously, and with suoh freedom from Credit Mo? biliar scandals and the general rascality that attends a "land grab" in the more Northern States, that she does not re? gret it. Texaa has now 1,000 miles of excellent railroad in operation. How many miles additional she has projeoted and in course of construction no man knows. The Texas Central has obtained a goodly alioe of the public domain, be? ing aboat 4,000,000 aores; next comes the Texas and New Orleans, with about 1,000,200 aores, aud then eleven smaller companies subsidized with from 1,000, 000 to 49,000 aoros. Among them we flud the unfortunate Memphis, El Paso aud Pacific Boad with 262,000 aores. In addition, giants of 124,000 acres have been made to various manufacturing and navigation companies. In this conaeo tion we notion the completion of the Shreveport and Galveston Railroad, one of the most important in Texas. A New York hotel-keeper has disco? vered au infallible rule for determining the honesty of his customers. He 6aya: "I have made it u rul-3 in my house, wbeuever a man wants a room and has no baggage, to demand pay in advance, as is usual. If be manifests no objec? tion, and puts his baud in his pocket for money, I tell him it ia all right; that he can pay just as welll when ho goes away. That kind of a man always pays. But there is another sort of fellow, who, when informed of the rule, pretends to be very indignant, insisting that he ia a gentleman, by -, and is' not in the, habit of having his name questioned or his honesty doubted. In such a oase, I invariably insist on the production of tho funds, for I know if I didn't get them then, I never shoald get them in the world. Men who talk about their honor, and assume to be insulted when requested to pay, can be depended on , fur first olass dead beats."

Since the breaking of Foster's neck, the opponents of capital punishment have come en masse to tho front, show? ing up dead Crosar's wounds to exoite the pity and disgust of the popalaco for such barbarous oruelty. John C. Klugh, son of W. C. Klngh, Esq., died near Grenada, Miss., March 22, 1873. His remaiua arrived at the homo of his ohildhood, Greenwood, S. C, on Thursday, 27th nit.

Washington's Iubbaby.?The Boston Athenen m has the library of George Washington, purchased indirectly, in 1849, from the heirs of Judge Bushrod Washington, a favorite nephew of the General. There are about 1,200 titles, embracing 450 bound volumes and 760 phamphlets or serials. The boand vol? umes are mostly English books, and -re? present various fields of literature. Last week, a family named Bice, with some friends, living at Port Bruce, Cana? da, were attacked, as they were getting out of a sloigh, by five men, armed with clubs, and were beaten so badly that George Price, an old man, has died from the injuries reoeived.
