The Hamburg American steam
ship Cimbria, while on her way from
Hamburg to Havre, was run into
Friday morning during a dense fog
by the British steam ship Sultan.
The Cimbiia sank in a few minutes
The disaster occurred in the Ger
man ocean off the Island of Bor
kum, 30 miles north of the coast of
Holland. .
The Cimbria left Hamburg on
Thursday, with 380 passengers and
a crew numbering 110, a total of
490. She ran aground before leav
ing the Elbe, but got off w ith the
flood tide, with the assistance of
the Hansa, without having received
damage, and she put to sea at 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon. On Fri
day morning she came into collis
sion -wj th the steamer Sultan. The
Cimbiiia sank in a short time. A
boat stith 39 passengers arrived at
Cuxhaven Friday night and the
compajny sent out the steamer
Hansa and the four largest availa
ble steamers at Cuxhaven to search
for other boats of the Cimbra. The
West Indian steamer Bavaria also
"left during the night with a similar
object. Ths steamer Sultan, which
was badly damaged by the collision,
has arrived in the Elbe.
Details of the Cimbria disaster
now being received show that the
loss of life must have been fearful.
The Cimbria received such severe
injuries in the collision that it once
become apparent she must sink al
most " immediately. The officers
therefore did all in their power to
save lives. Without a moment's
loss of time life-belts were distribu
ted among the passengers, and an
order was given to lower the boat.
This, however, in consequence of
the
vessel's keeling over on her
side, was found to-be very difficult
on one side and absolutely impossi
ble on the other. As the second
officer was still engaged in cutting
the spars loose, so.tliat there should
be as nmch drift-wood as possible
for the people to cling to wheu the
inevitable foundering occurred, the
vessel went down under his feet.
Ie seized a spar, but as several
other persons clung to it, he was
obliged to let go, and he swam to a
boat. This boat was subsenuent.lv
picked up by the Theta. The sec
ond officer steered the Theta to
Cuxhaven, arriving there at about
6 O'clock. Seventeen Other norerma
have been saved by the steamer
XMama-nt Horn the YVeser T.itri.f.
house, making r0 thus far known
to have been rescued.
A surviver from the Cimbria
makes the followinsr statement:
"The weather was clear up to 1:15
o'clock, but a fog then set in, which
continued and increased iu density.
The engines of the Cimbria were
kept at full speed until 1:30 o'clock,
then at half-speed until 2 o'clock,
after which they were kept at slow
speed. About 1:10 o'clock the whis
tle of another steamer was heard
and the engines of the Cimbria
were stepped instantly. The Sul
tan's green light va"s, owing to the
fog, not observed until she was only
150 feet off from the Cimbria. The
latter was struck abaft the first
collision bulkhead, on the port side,
and she keeled over. to starbard and
speedly sank."
A reiwrter boarded the Sultan,
but both the captain -and crew ab
solutely refused to give him any
information. The Captain ha,
made a statement before the Brit
ish Consul, but this is inaccessible.
Hie Sultan has a large hole in her
bow, seven feet above the water
line.
Loxdon, January 2.1. A Berlin
dispatch say s : Tlie survivers of the
Cimbria describe the moment of
her sinking as a terrible one. The
air was filled with the cries of the
drowning hundreds who remained
floating a short time until liennmbed
by the icy water. In a few minutes
all was over.

Another Hamburg dispatch says :
"Several persons were killed by the
collision itself, owing to the flying

his neighbors to push him into the

hands and singing loudly funeral
hymns, was washed away from the
deck. Two ffirls belonging to the

Gambeita's Oratory.
A Paris correspondent writes to
the "St James Gazette" :
;The
chief secret of Gambetta's power
. '
as an orator was mac ne anoweu
his emotious to carry him along
with them, as seemingly helpless as
a leaf in the tempest. He employ
ed none of those tricks of oratory,
none ot ; those studied gestures
which are the stage carpentry of
the tribune. Gambetta's character
lstic eloquence was the language of
passion; it was not until his whole
being was shaken and convulsed by
the storm within him that the jeers
of enemies were silenced and men
who dejested his principles, grew
pale with excitement and surren
dered themselves for the time being
to the imagic of his influence. I
was in the Chamber of Deputies
when (Sambetta delivered one of
his lastj great speeches. He walked
up the Steps of the tribune listless
ly; his face was unusually flushed;
he seeiied oppressed by the sum
mer hilt aud doubtful of himself.
ne commenced speaking slowly, al
most J;esitatiugly, and in such a
low 4ice that every head was bent
forward in order to catch his words.
There was . no mighty swing of the
axe against the tree he wished to
fell, Uit a dilatory; chipping of the
bark fill at was positively irritating
to those who expected to see the
gian j rush at once to his task. Pre
sents,- some murmurs arose iu the
Hoiue, some scoffing from the reac-
tionry side, Gambetta's nostrils
dilaied, the red hue of his face
changed to pale olive, his fingers
clutthedthe rostrum nervously, and
his pice, at each successive period,
rose to a higher tone. Fresh inter
ruptions came, in which the orator
pephaps caught some bitter person
al illusion. "Then he began to pace
the tribune like a cagedTliou. His
massive head was thrown back, aud
his1 eye flashed defiance, j while pe
riod after period was .thundered
fot.h with such a volume of sound
as to drown the rising tumult.
From that moment and for fully an
hotir afterward the Chamber was
spell-bonnd."

Montgomery, ala., Jan. 23.
Yesterday evening the marshal ap
pointed by the commissioners who
constitute the municipal authorities
of Opelika attempted to arrest a
man who was violating the town
iaws Tne arrest was resjsred and
ex-Mayor Dunbar and his follow
ers went to his res6ue. The mar
shal summoned a posse of citizens,
and the deputy sheriff was ordered
to support the marshal with what
other help he coulcL- summon. The
attempt to arrest the offenders was
futile from want of sufficient force
and arms. The number of rioters
is not known exactly, because some
of them are in buildings. The re
sistance is made by men armed
with shot guns andjpistols, and en
trenched in their nlnces of business I

The president ot the commission
telegraphed here : "We have not

About Witnesses.
Witnesses are sworn to tell "the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth." The way in which
they observe their oath classifies
them.
Thft "ton-willinu-" witness tel!.i all
he knows and much more. He for
gets that he was sworu to tell "notb
mg but tuetrutn." m contrast
with him is the "exact," witness,.
who is also known as the "slow";
witness. ' He don'tcomniit himself
to an answer until he has weighed
every word.
One of his class was cross exam
ined as to his distance from ascer
tain place. "I was just four yards,
two feet and six inches off," he
answered peremtorily, .
"How came you to be so exact in
this matter, my friend !" asked the
lawyer.
'Because I expected some fool
would ask me, and so I measured
the distance
The "thick-headed"
witness is
usually evasive in his answers. He
intends to tell ''tlie truth," -but his
mind is so hazy that the sharpest
questions fail to bring distinct an
swers liom him. " -
At a trial for assault and bat
tery, a witness was asked,
"Did you see. the prisoner throw
the stone!"
"I saw a stone, aud Iz'e pretty
sure tne prisoner tnrowed it," an
swered the witness, cautiously.
"Was it a large stone !"
"I should say it was a largish
stone." ;
"What was its size !"
"I should say a sizable stone,"
"Can't you answer exactly as to
how big it was !"
"I should say it was' a stone of
some bigness."
"Can't you give the jury some
idea of how big it was !"
"Why as near as I can recollect,
it was something of a stone."
"Can't you compare it with some
other object !"
"Why, if I wur to compare it, so
as to give some notion of the stone,
I should say it wur as large, as a
lump o' chalk."
"That will do," said the counsel;
"you may step aside."

The Spiral Stud.
We see that there is a new shirt

the gimlet hole inla! shirt-bosom in
sections, and snaps together, leav
ing' the under side! jsmooth, so that
there is no raw salvage to stick into
a nian's vital parts the way there
is in the old spiral feiud, and we look
forward to the happy future when
we jean buy a set otj the new studs,
and give the old spiral studs to the
poor who have no feelings to be lac
erated. We haVe thought for
many, years that the government
ought to call in theipld spiral studs
and issue a new kind, coupons that
will: go together with a snap; but
nobody has seeme$ to think the
government ought !o take the re
sponsibility. The man who has in
invented the new gtud should be
placed on the penison roll with the
man who invented Ithe telegraph
and the India rubber baby clothes.

and has made sore? spots on him.

The Bridal Package of Greenbacks.
, i . ,
Nearly every bridal! couple that
comes to Washington-Land Wash
iugton is the national bridal Mecca
visits the treasury vaults. The
young and invariably interesting
couple want to closely inspect Un
cle Sam's' plentiful skekels. When
they enter the vault the man in
charge of it, after a few prelimin
ary words of explanation, hands
down a package of notes from a
shelf and tells the bride o take it
in her hands. He then explains
that this package contaius 120,000,
000 in United States tieasury notes.
The young lady is delighted to be
able to go away and say that she
has held so much money in her own
hands. She is just too utterly
pleased. The groom also wants to
handle the package. They are fur
ther told that the notes are all of
the denomination of $10,000. They
constitute what is known as the
"bridal package." Young married
tourists, having heard of this pack
age, often ask to handle it just as
soon as they enter the vaults. This
is all very pretty. But it is a fraud
on the young people. The treasury
here does not hold that amount of
money. The bulk of the money is
in the sub-treasury at New; York.
That "bridal package" is a gay de
ceiver. It does contain, however;
notes of the denomination of 110,
000, which would, in the aggregate,
represent 20,000,003 if thepr were
only signed. Bnt they fare .minus
the necessary signatures.

A shrewd business man, in our
community forecasts theciaracter
of the coming year. He savs the
people have made little or no mon
ey the' past season. " They have
paid nearly for what they have con
sumed, and realized low prices for
all they have produced. The mar
gin Ls therefore against them. As
a consequence the coining year is
destined to Ihj a hard one fluanci-
illy. Those who produce their own
supplies will of course stand solid.
Those who have to buy will have
to start already in debt, aud will
be compelled to struggle with s
double burden. This sounds like
a judgement founded upon broad
principles. It applies, of course,
mainly to the cotton districts- give

dition. Hence the matter assumes
a Very general importance. Ihe

place begin at once to produce sup

the grand mistake of the past.

"I will sav one thing in prai.se of

spheres- neavy bread has made
many heavy hearts, giving rise to
dyspepsia and its herd of accompa

that their husbands shoukl be ama

make light bread. A story is told
of a happy wifer who when asked
how she managed her husbauid so
successfully, relied, with a roguish
smile, "My clear, I feed him welL."
There is a- great deal in that.
