Drownlaurel' a Pleasure Partli. '
On the lat of Juno the Bur,crrix published
a despatch, received by the American Press
Association, telling of the drowning of
twenty persons belonging to a pleasure party,
on one 'orthe Swiss lakes. The New York Asso.
elated Press and its dependents have not yet
heard of this catastrophe. A Paris paper of
June 2d, now before • us, gives some particu
lars concerning it.
The choral Society of Vevey, including some
of the most respectable citizens, had been to
Les GruyiTes, to give a concert for the benefit
of tbe Orphan Asylum of Bulle. Returning
by way of the valley of AlUres, they stopped
on the plateau of Jaman to fish in a small but
very deep lake where a delicious kind - of trou
s caught. The shepherds of the neighborhood
use a kind of raft when they go to fish
and on on one of these rafts thirty members
of the singing society went out into the middle
of the lake. The raft gave way and the whole
party were plunged into the lake, and twenty
of them perished. The catastrophe caused
the utmost excitement in Vevey. Among the
victims were several persons in importan
ofli ces, and the editor of the local paper,

from the Darien surveying expedition to May
:sot h.
The weather bad continued extremely unfa
vorable for the surveying parties. The rains
were of daily occurrence and very heavy,
.welling the streams to , torrents. In conse
quence of the heavy fall of war it .had_been
Attic - tilt tii keep the working parties at the
front supplied with provisions.
On the 13th of May', a new working party,
under Lieutenant Hubbard, started for the
front to relieve Lieutenant Hitchcock and
party, who had conducted the survey from
the Bay of San Bias to a point thirteen miles
inland. The return squad arrived at .the
beach on the 18th, hungry, ragged and ex
hausted-. On the same date Lieutenant Hub
bard reported, from a point fourteen miles in-..
land (by the line of survey), that the highest
elevation yet attained was only 170 . feet.
Ou the 20th live niensof the working . party
were lost inthezwood.s.,.Seareli_iias instatuted,_
aud they were found . , after two days' wander
ing and when, seriinis tears for their safety
bad begun to he entertained.
On May 27 active preparations were going
forward on-- board the- .Nipsic and thO Guard
for .return -to -Net- York. - On . the_.24th --- -the
cornmander.. - of, - the expedition_ changed his
plans, and it is now believed he will continue
his survey until one of the surveying party
shall have crossed thetlividiUg ridge.and com
municated with the survey from the Nyack,
on the Pacific side. A letter Was received on
the .18th-from the - commander or the - Nyack,
stating that-his party Were some - distance up
the Byano river, the course of which they ex
pected to leave shortly, to- ascend. the Uar
moni a riVer: - Thealin Of CaptaniSelfiadge is
to reach the Marnionia frotu this side and de
scend the stream, meeting the party from the
Nyack. The-Nipsic- -was to-- leave for-Aspin
wall on the :nst, it being Selfridge's intention
to -pay a visit to the Nyack's commander, via
Panama Railroad..
At date of our advices Lieutenant Hub
bard's party had surveyed twenty miles from
the beach, at which distance the highest land
elevation found was 309 feet, the elevation of
the river's bed being 295 feet. The surround
ing country was very rugged an& difficult.
Donkey transportation had been abandoned,
and provisions for the working party, were
sent forward in small quantities on the hacks
of Om men.
On the 29th of. May Captain_ -.Selfridge
ordered Messrs. Moser and BoWditeh to take
one fnatlittero, with plenty of provisions for
the party, go to the head of Lieutenant Hub
bard's line, and from thence strike a south
southeast course and endeavor to reach the
San Jose, Marmonia or other river on that
line flowing towards the Pacific Ocean.
They were to make a pace traverse of the
route, and Lieutenant Hubbard was-to follow
as fast as possible, with compass and level.
On the :30th orders were issued that Lieu
tenant Hitchcock, Lieutenant Goodred and
six nren, hilly provisioned, leave the beach
early on the following morning to relieve
Lieutenant Hubbard and party—the latter to
return to the beach at once—and, taking a
south-southeast course, to make for the San
Jose or 31arinonia river, then to proceed lit
deemed prudent) to the Pacific Ocean, or
until the party, from the Nyack is encountered.
No orders had 'been issued recalling blessits.

DICK:NNW/if IDEA Or efattorosr,
In explanation of his exposure of the Peck
snitflan tribe, Dickens his writtenlbiri:
Lest there should be any •well-intentioned
persons who do not perceive thediffereuce be
tween religion and the cant of religion, piety
and the pretence of piety, an humble rever
ence for the great truths of Scriptitie, and an
audacious and oftisnsive obtrusion of its let
ter and not its spirit in the commonest &mem ,-
sions and the meanest attain of life, to the
extraordinary confusion, of • ignorant
minds,. let them understand that it
is alivays the latter, and never the
former, which is satirized here. Further ;
that the latter Is here satirized as being, ac
cording to all experience, inconsistent with
the former, impossible of onion with it, and
one of the most mischievous and evil false
hoods existent In society. It may appear tins
necessary to oiler a ward of observation on so
plain ahead, but it is never out of season to
protest against that coarse familiarity with
sacred things which is busy on the lip and idle
in the heart; or against the confounding of
Christianity with any class of persons WhO, iu
the words of Swift, " have just enough re :
ligion to make'theni - hate,. and not enough to
make them love one another."

was wont to woo the sunlight of hope for the
London newsboys at their annual feasts! How
proimpt was his attendance at the annual press
dinners, and how like the quiet falling.ef.re-.:
Treshing rain was the dropping of his sen
teneea on those enjoyable occasions! 'Who
of those that were present at the farewell
Dickens dinner, given by the press of New
York two years ago, will ever let slip from
mind the inexpressible tenderness of his
greeting and, grateful expression at that
memorable time? In vain did he
call upon all his boundless re
sources of language .to satisfy himself in 'ex
pressing his love and admiration for the press,
and-of the kindness with which newspapers
on both sides of the water had unitormly
treated him. There was an enchantment

Her Trip to England
On Wednesday next Madame I'arepa-Rosa
and Mr. Carl Rosa will sail for England, bear
ing with them the hearts of the American
public: Many a singer has - won abundant
popularity and wealth in the United States
since this country became recognized
as a legitimate field for musical enterprise,
but none has ever endeared herself in such
a peculiarly personal manner to her audi
ences as the atcompliShed and marvelous
woman who IS now about to leaVe us. When
her handsome, jovial face appears upon the
stage, a smile of pleasure always runs around
the hall. When the notes of that di vinne voice
fall upon the ear every face settles into a look
of content, and every musical want seems
satisfied. We suppose Parepa must have left,
scattered all over this continent,from New En
gland to San Francisco, about two or three mil
lion personal friends,who neverspoke to her in
their lives and never expect to. She has been,
everywhere. She has conquered the most
distant territories. She has turned even an
Overland Stage Coach into a triunipliai
chariot, and carried her glorious song , from
Boston to the Great Salt Lake. What has she
-not done during her :extraordinarV Amerfean .
career She tossed over a "few English bal
lads, and we found in them a rare
beauty we , had never suspected.. She
tried oratorio, , and the spirit of
the old composers tilled her, and. she
gave such, voice to their grandeur that we
hardly tolerate Handel now from any, mouth
but hers. Jubilees put her to the test, but she
went on conquering. Ten thousand sang
against her, cannon thundered at her side,five
hundred musicians Played their very loudest,
and still above the multitudinous din, soared
that beautiful voice. Then she turned
to the neglected opera, and straightway,
with the best English company ever heard
in this country, gave - us master-pieces we
never knew before, and added freSh.leaves to,
her laurel crown. Mr. Rosa meanwhile 441 N
become recognized as one of the ablest . of
musicians, managers, and instrumental, cone
ductors, and shares with his wife the enviable
reputation, of keeping faith with the public
and telling the truth—even on the play-bills.
It is not the intention of Madame Rosa to
sing (hiring her visit to her native country,
and all offers of an engagement have been re
fused. She will devote the seamier. ba repose
—for even with her extraordinary strength
and vitality a little recuperation will not be .
amiss-; and 'next season itis her purpase to be
with us once more. With N . vhatover.plans she

Hiss Winnemucca, the Indian Princess.
[from the Boise City ( Idaho) NOM.
Harper's 'Weekly contains a highly poetic al
lusion to Sarah Winnemucca, the interesting
daughter of Mr. Winnemucca; chief of the
Flutes, wliois gallant exploits in stealing
horses and cutting 'the tongues out of defence
less emigrants will long be remembered by
the people orNevada and Southern Idaho
with feelings of just pride and admiration.
--- N s n
ow - thioble aborigine daughter, Sarah—
no less-As to come in for a share of the
honors which have been lavished so an-,
. _sparingly.in days gone by upon-her illustrious
sire, the old gentleman Winnemucca. Miss
Sarah, says Kemper's 'Weekly, " has written (?) a
very sagacious letter to Indian Commissioner
Parker,in which she has eloquently portrayed
the wrongs -of her race."' What internal noo
dles some of those Eastern people are. If we
are not very much mistaken, we bad the plea
sure of seeing, some years ago, Miss Sarah at
Camp McDermit, Nevada. She and ' a few
other interesting relics of the "noble red
man" were being fatted at the Fort during , that
winter for the. Spring campaign against Idaho
einigrants. The emigration having stopped
,for the season, "there:were no. other -worlds
to conquer," so Sarah, and her tribe
were about to fare badly, as 'the 'supply of
.dried scalps, grasshoppers and lice had been
exhatutted. Tbeir condition excited the sy,m
pathy of - Uncle Sam's boys at the Fort, so they..
were taken in and cared for until Spring,
when they resumed their favorite pastime- of
stealing - and - murdering.- But it is our recol
lections of Miss Sarah we propose to recite,
Sarah was at that time about sweet sixteen
or twenty—it would be difficult t? judge of lier
exact age freni her appearance; owing, to a
careless habit she acquired of never washing
her beautifully chiselled featurss.- But - as <we
had-been taught to judge the,age of a cow by
the wrinkles on her horns,or the' age Of a tree
by the belts of growth on its trunk, so we
made a slather at Miss Sarah's age by the
number of scales of greasy dirt which natu
rally accumulated on the ridge of her comely
countenance during the lapse of years. She
was --about four • or -- five - feet is
that for " Lo ?"—and not quite as broad as she
was narrow. Her ,raven tresses, - which had
been permitted to coy with the sportive
breeze ; unbound, unwashed. and uncombed,
from her earliest childhood, stood out , in
elegant and awry confuSion from her classi
cally.shaped eabe.se, which contributed -to her
contour an air of romantic splendor. • Her
style of dress, though primitive, closely..assi
rnilated that worn by her more fashionable
sisters in Paris and other big towns.--It was the
fashion of the , day, slightly exaggerated,.
consisting of an elegant scarf, about a
foot wide, cut . from an ancient horse
blanket, which was - gracefully girded round_
her delicate waist, the circumference of
which, owing to. the scarcity of clover
and fresh crickets at that season, had materi
ally diminished, over which hung a beautiful
set of skeleton hoops. These completed the..
toggery - 6f - this sweet-and simple dangliter -of
nature. Her feet were incased in Moccasins,
andshowed evident indications of hard service,
and long walks,over the rocky - hill Sand sage-:
brush plains, the mud of her native heath,
crisp - and dry, clinging tenaciously to her-toes.
And we are glad to be able to announce that
ihis divinity was treated during her brief so
journ among the white savages with all the re
spect due her exalted rank and birth-right—as
the only daughter and heiress of that noble old
chief; Winnemucca,

- The Attachon the Sinking Fund.
The Pittsburgh Gazette comments as follows
on the proposed robbery of the Sinkitg.Fund
of the nine and a half millions of dollars:
A FACT WORTH KNOWINO.—We have here
tofore thoroughly discussed the questionssug
gested by the attempts last winter, to divert
the Sinking Fund of the Commonwealth from
its constitutional application. Our comments
have been mainly directed to the general as
pect of these questions, regardless of merely
partisan considerations. But it is proper that
we address at least one pertinent observation
to our Republican friends in connection
with the whole matter. They should
be apprised of an instructive tact,
not yet. generally known. Of the
entire nine and a half millions of dollars
which were, by the operations of the., Omnibus
bill, to have been "diverted" from .the State
Treasury, the absolute control of the disburse
ment of eight millions would have •fallen, by
express arras gements-of all parties interested, -
into the handA, of three of the most bitter and
most unscrup - ulous partisans in the Demo
cratic opposition. We name Messrs. F. W.
Hughes, of Schuylkill W. A. Wallace, of
Clearfield, and M. B. Lowry, of Erie. Of the
political claims of these citizens named upon
the confidence of a Republican people, we
need not speak at length; our readers know
them as well as we do.
_ - -
"We have ELO.hesitaion in stating,. as- a fact
certain to have :been accomidished,lbat to
these three.citizens would have beti intrusted
the control—and after a policy which would
have been at least partisan; if notpersonal—
of the disbursement of nearly eight-ninths of
the vast sum Which that bill - proposed to take
from the public Treasury. Once the bill had
been, signed, and the " exchange" perfected,
these citizens and their friends would them,
selves have been loudest in the denunciation
ofa Republican State Government which had
been guilty, of this fatal .4tistake. And the
more vehement these denunciations the More
just would they have been. Where would,
then, the Republican party of Pennsylvania
have been able to shelter itself, hissed, as it
would have been, from. eyery,hustiugsrn the,
m
'Comonwealth? , -

Commenting upon this the Miners! Journql,
of Pottsville, says :
See to it in time now,while the nominations
are being made, that eNtery Republican candi
date is instructed against this measure. In
order to protect the Sinking Fund let no Re
publican member be returned to the Legisla
ture who voted for the hill at the last session,
and he particular to nominate no political
hack of easy virtue for the Leglslature. This
is the only way to protect the State Treasury,
front- robbery. A powerful organization, is
now being formed t,o accomplish it.

Mr. Beaman opposed. the bill as uncalled

would move, in order to, test the, sense of the
