TEBBIBLE SCENES ON BOABD A
BUBNING STEAMER.
The St. Louis papers give further particulars of
tke burning of the Steamboat A. T. Lacey, which
was noticed recently. The fire commenced in a
bale of hay. The Democrat says:
Capt. Lacey, of Girardeau, together with his
wife and two children, one an interesting little boy
aged about eight years, and the other a little girl
of four or five years, were among : the passengers.
The happy family" party had not proceeded more
than 150 miles, when a terrible disaster overtakes
them, death snatches away the little daughter, and
father mother and son are thrown upon the barren
shore of the river, exhausted in body, their lives
barely saved, and their hearts overwhelmed with
the grief which had so suddenly come upon them.
Our informant states that as he stepped out of the
state-room, he met Capt. Lacy rushing towards
the stern of the boat to save his family. He call
ed after him, telling him not to frighten the wo
men, for he thought the bale of hay on fire which
was first discovered had been thrown overboard
and there was no danger.
Our informant then went into his state-room,
drew on his pants and once more " stepped into the
cabin, was confounded and terrified at the progress
of the flames, which had already broken into the
front part of the cabin, and were carrying every
thing before them, lie ran back to assist the ladies
and children in their escape. Seeing Capt. Lacey
with his little boy in one hand and his little girl
in the other, while his wife, frantic with fright,
was clinging to his person, he approached the Cap
tain and told him if -he would give hitn the little
girl he would try to save her. The Captain gave
her up, she going willingly without a word of objec
tion, while her little brother clung to his father,
and in a moment after, with her arms clinging
round his neck, he bravely plunged into the water.
The child strangled very. much at the first immer
sion, but still clung to our informant's neck, who
struck out for the shore.
He swam but a short distance when he was as
sailed by a large German woman, who, in her
frantic struggles, pushed him and the little girl
beneath the surface, which again caused the little
girl to struggle, but she still hold on. Nearing a
drift pile both our informant and his precious
charge were sucked under the logs by the treach
erous waves and curtent, and while under, strug
gling for his own life, having be'eome badly stran
gled, he missed the grasp of the little girl around
his neck, and she, probably caught by her night
dress in the drift, was lost. Our informant, on
emerging from the drift, happily caught a log, on
which he floated until rescued by the yawl, about
a mile below. Capt. Lacey 's little boy was taken
from his lather and saved by the noble exertions
ofMr William Mundy, the pilot, who, after his
safe arival on shore, was so exhausted that he had to
be drawn up the bank. The engineers, Mr Buch
anan and Mr Owens, assisted Capt. Lacey and his
wife to the shore.
A large number of the deck passengers threw
themselves overboard, and many were drowned.
One man most inhumanly left his two little chil
dren in their beds to be consumed by the fire, while
he made good his escape to shore.
One poor Irish woman, who was confined to her
berth by St. Vitus dance, was lost. Another Irish
woman, with whom the maternal feelings were as
strong as life itself, wrapped her little babe in a
blanket, and safely reached the shore with the pre
cious bundle in her arms. Her anguish may be
imagined, .when, in unwinding the blanket, she
found her child suffocated and dead.
The number of cattle on board was 116. The
groans and howlings of these poor animals, as the
fire ran along their backs and roasted them alive,
all tied by their horns to the forward and after
guards, with no way of escape, is described as most
awful and distressing.
Several deck passengers were seen by or infor
mant, to pass under the drift pile, and were un
doubtedly drowned. The fire was seen distinctly
at New Madrid, a distance of about 50 miles from
the scene of the disaster, and the clerk of the
wharf-boat at that point stated, when he saw the
light, that he knew it was the Lacey.
Remarkable Clue of Lockjaw. The N. Y.
Observer says:
A young lady ran a rusty nail into her foot re
cently, and the injury produced lockjaw of such a
malignant character that her physician pronounced
her recovery hopeless. An old nurse then took
her in hand, and applied pounded beet roots to
her foot, removing them as often as they became
dry. ; The result was a most complete and aston
ishing cure. Such a simple remedy should be
borne in mind. . ; ,

PECULIARITIES.;
The Japanese, during their stay in San Fran
cisco, have exhibited a great many peculiarities,
which may be interesting to many readers, and we
believe have not been told before. They have all
shown themselves easily pleased, and exceedingly
well bred. When asked to try some dish, new to
them, they do so; if they like it they continue
eating, expressing themselves well pleased; if not,
they taste no more, but never express dislike.
The Ambassadors are very dignified, and command
respect. The inferior office is never enter their
apartment without bowing, and the servants inva
riably drop upon the knee. :
They are all, very light eaters, bat tby take
their . meals very quickly, almost everything else
they do slowly, but eating with them is a rapid
operation. The subordinates eat nothing but rice;
but the dignitaries are fond of sweatmeats, cakes,
confections of all kinds, and sauces. None of them
eat any' meat, except that the dignitaries take a
littb chicken, and none of them use either milk
or butter, .They drink both tea and coffee, and
are no sooner through with their meals than they
go to smoking their wild tobacco in small pipes.
They are all very apt at learning anything. The
manner of folding napkins especially, for instance,
which for any other species yinus homo would re
quire an apprenticeship of a day or two, the Jap
anese learn by seeing it done once. Their powers
of imitation are consequently very great, and for
any kind of manipulation, apter scholars could not
possibly be anywhere found. They learn to write
the English letters iu a few minutes, and can copy
anything they see. The faculty of constructive
uess, indeed, seems to be a natural development,
as also a certain serene good humor, which is in
dicated by their universally fat, plump, smiling
round faces. Another tiational characteristic
seems to be their inquisitiveness. There is hardly
anything that e.'-capes them; about our government,
laws, customs, manufactures, country, and so on,
they are never done asking questions. At the In
ternational Hotel they were very curious to under
stand the relations between Mr Haley and his
employees; what sort of government was establish
ed there; how Mr Haley could have everything
attended to so well, and how he could exercise so
complete a control, unless he was a sort of prince
or ma.ster. And, it is almost unnecessary to add,
they were surprised at much which they learned
in regard to the American people; a ni strange will
be the accounts which they will carry home of the
great nation which has no 1'iiucesaud no Emperor
Trial of Daniel Woimi. The trial of Dan
iel Worth for circulating Helper's "Impending
Crisis," in Guilford county, came off on Friday
last at Greensboro' before the Hon. Judge Bailey.
The trial took about the same course as the former
one in Randolph. Worth was found guilty of the
crime" charged, and sentenced to twelve months
imprisonment, from which, as in Randolph, an ap
peal was taken to the Supreme Court. High
Point Reporter.
The bail of 55000, required by the magistrate
at the time Worth was arrested, was reduced to
81000, which, together with the bond of $400 for
costs, required to obtain the appeal, was taken by
responsible securities. We further understand
that the bail was reduced to 81000 on each indict
ment in Randolph county, and that proper securi
ties conld be had for these also. Hence we pre
sume Worth is at large, and it is the general
opinion that he will soon make his escape North,
to be forever a fugitive from justice from his na
tive State. Greensboro' Times.

had been buried in an out of tjie way place, and
viewed by a jury of ittqueutjr -which was done on
the 27th : ult., and from the evidence before them

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.
'Malakoff,' the well known correspondent of the
New York Times, in a graphic description of .the
great pugilistic event, says:
The end of the fight is not correctly reported in
London, and perhaps will not be I had been told
by Englishmen before the fight that there was too
much bet at odds in favor of Sayers, the English
man, for Heenan, the American, to be permitted to
gain the contest. English gamblers are just as
desperate as any other gamblers, and in the condi
tion of speculation in which Heenan went to the
field, a fair showing was hardly to be expected.
The men appointed to take care of the ring and see
a fair fight, were men who had bet largely on SHy
ers, and the whole two thousand Englishmen pre
sent were yelling furiously for Sayers from the be
ginning to the end f the fight. v
While nothing could be more admirable than
the deportment and skill of Tom Sayers, I pretend
to say that from the end of the first round to the
close, Heenan showed himself to be the superior
man, as well in endurance as in strength of blow
and skill. He was never knocked down once,
while he sent Sayers to the grass fairly about 20
times. In all the clenched falls which took place,
Heenan fell under but once. Heenan came to the
scratch every time first, and he did all the attack
ing, preserving a constonr smile and good h umor.

place swelled like a ball Rut of the two, Heenan
had yet the most fight in him. One of his eyes
was shut, and Sayers' hope was to shut the other.
Everybody saw that it w:is his only chance, and all
his fire was directed at Hcenan'b remaining eye.
Heenan being afraid of this game, determined to
throw all his force into a few concluding rouudn
which would finish Sayers.
Heenan now went at Sayers most terribly, and
succeeded in getting his - head into chancery.
In this position he held him hard against the stake,
within three feet of where I stood, and here the
fight would have ended had not the English rush
ed in and broken up the ring. Sayers was black
in the face, and by the time Heenan would have
finished the round, if let alone, Sayers could not
have come to time. The English say that Ilccnan
was killing him in that position, and thut they did .

was only trying to throw hufl, and in doing this
his giant arm was stopping the circulation in Say
ers' jugulars. He would have got him down be
fore he was totally suffocated, and the fight would
have terminated by Sayers not coming to time. ;
After this there were three rounds fought, in all
of which Heenan had the advantage
The special reporter of the New York Clipper
thus describes the closing scene: r
Round 39. Heenan now came up fiercely, and
as soon as Tom put in an appearance, dashed out
his left at him, but without effect, Sayers ducking
and getting away. Heenan now commenced afoot
race after Sayers, and caught him with a terrifio
right hander on the ribs. Heenan then closed
with him, getting his head in chancery again, but
this time more effectively than the last. Heenan,
who now had his left arm around Sayers' neck, and
having him helpless on his hip, reached out his
right hand and caught hold of the ropes, for a few
minutes , squeezing his antagonist until his face
was black.
" Cries of "cut the ropes cut the ropes." Jack
Hamilton, or Sheppard, or Maguire, or whatever
one might choose to call him, except an honest
man, now broke through the crowd towaids Heen
an with a club in his hand, but the quick and de
termined eye of Jim Hughes met him, and the
coward tried hard to conceal the weapon. , Sayers,
from the terrible hug of Iieenan, was frothing at
the mouth. Heenan still had bold of the ropes, .
with no inclination to let go. At this juncture,'
one of the ringkeepcrs a villain caught Heen
an by the leg with the intention of tripping hiuj
up, but he did not succeed. Shortly after this the
ropes were cut, and both men fell heavily to the
ground. The rioters had now got iuto Sayers'
corner of the ring. ,
Three more rounds wero alike disastrous to'
Sayers, who at the close of the forty -second and"
last, was lifted up by Heenan and dashed to the
earth, as if he had been a child. He was finally
assisted from the ring by his seconds. Iieenan,
who was dreadfully excited, called to him to come
back to the scratch. Heenan then jumped nimbly
over the ropes, aud after walking a few steps com
menced a run towards the railroad track, 600 yards
distance, crossing two fences on hi way, and Joav-
ing many of his friends behind. And thus ended
the great fight for the championship of England, j
showing that the expression of British "Fair play,
and may the best man win," is a hunibug. After
the fight was over Mr McCabe went to John Mor--
rissey and offered to match Heenan against him,
to fight in three or four months, for 85,000 or .
$10,000 a side, but the latter took no notice of it. .
Another American, at the railway station, offered
to double the stake, should Heenan and Sayers .
fight again, or would match him against any man .
in the world for $10,000, but no one answered it.
Tbub Coxtentmknt. In thii age of restless
ness and wild speculation, when so many are search
ing eagerly for happiness and sighing after numer
ous disappointments, " Who will show us any
good?" it is refreshing to meet with a contented
Christian heart, which has found true peace by
living in constant communion with God. In one
of our exchanges we find the following: Said a
venerable farmer some eighty years old to a rela
tive who lately visited him, " I have lived or this
farm for more than half a eentury. . I have no de
sire to change my residence as long a I live on
earth. I have no desire to be any richer than I
now am. I have worshipped the God of my fathers
with the same people for more than forty years.
During this time I have rarely been absent from the
sanctuary on the Sabbath, and have never lost one
communion season. 1 have never. been confined
to mv bed by sickness for a single day. The bless
ings of God have been richly spread around me,
and I made up my mind long ago, that if I wished -to
be happier, I must have more religion."
