The steamer “Victoria" it appears, had been running trips to Springbank, a place of popular resort about four miles distant. and about 4 o'clock started from the docks on her- fourth and last trip for the day with a large load of passengers of all ages. variously estimated at from 400 to 600 in number. All went well on the down trip. though the boat was so heavily laden that she shipped water in small quantities occasionally when the crowd would happen to surge to any particular side.. On the return trip, when more than half way home, a slight commotion on the boat, said by some to have been the playful pranks ofa number of youths on the lower deck, and by others ascribed to the boat striking on a snag, caused the crowd out of curiosity to rush to one side, and as the side of the boat sank with the additional weight, a volume of water a foot or two in depth poured in upon the l0\ve.r deck, which was crowded with passengers. Instantly the crowd on both decks rushed to the i ' n u I .. opposrtesrde, and their weight, together with that of the water shipped by the boat, caused a lurch in the opposite di~ rection. Then it was that THE DISASTER OCCURRED, The side of the boat sank in the water to the depth of one ortwo feet, and while the crowd on the lower deck were struggling to save' themselves < ~ from slipping down into the river the E stanchions supporting the upper decks ' suddenly gave way, and the whole C structur'e, with its load of human 0 beings; came-down on those who were below',ivcrushing~them on the deck and t rendering escape impossible. It is im~ a possible. to describe the scene that. d followed; The boat continued to settle J on its side deeper into the water, taking h with it many of the passengers who S were stunned by' the fall of the upper h deck, were unable to’help themselves. a: Scores sank into the water without E an effort while many others who were tl precipitated. into , the , r'vei; nlrnrtL rcpt yl the air_ With- their" vhin rapp‘éalsi: for that succoii'jwhichithose 'of . the I passegg'qrs tin whoégfle-‘s‘afe were powerless'tO’e‘it'énd“ '3‘; to all ‘in a moment.

The Irishman had been kind to the young man ; yet, in a speech at Taunton, Disraeli called O'Connell a traitor. Coming thither to speak soon afterward O'Connell referred to it; “ He calls me a traitor. Now when I speak of Disraeli as a Jew I do not wish to reflect upon his race. for better ladies and gentlemen I have never met than among the llebmwa There were miscreants am Ing them, however. and it must lmVe been from one of these that Dis- raeli descended. Indeed, I think that the name Disraeli. which his family alone Wears. was borne by the im enitcnt thief who died upon the cross.” ll‘he audience and the whole nation laughed. Disraeli fumed in vain.

The cow kills flies with her tail. ' _A cow has big ears. that wri le on hinges; . so does the tail. A cow is igger than a. calf. but not so big as an elephant.
