Dr. Karl Stantsr.
This gentleman, who was recently
elected Auditor General of Pennsylvania,
died suddeuly at his residence, New
Biighton, early yesterday morting lie
had been suffering with a neuralgic com
plaint for several days. Being a phyni
cian by education, and not regarding his
ailment anything serious, though it was
quite painful, be injected a small quantity
of tbe solution of sulphate of morphia
into one of bis arms for the purpose of
allaying the pain. He soon sank into a
trai.qml sleep but be never awoke It
was bis long, last sleep. Several of bis
medical brethren were called to bis bed
side. They sought to cause a reaction,
but tbeir labors were in v iin. It is their
opiiiiou that the deceased punctured a
blood vessel while introducing the nar
cotic, and which, caused death to ensue
The deceased was a son of the late
Dr. Berjamin Stanton, of Ohio, and a
iirphew of (be late Secretary Stanton, to
w born he bore a striking reemblanco.
He was born in 18-9. and after studying
medicine, and graduating at the Cleve
land Medical College and the University
of Pennsylvania, removed at the age of
21 to New Brighton, Beaver county,
where be commenced the practice of
medicine aud has contiuued to reside.
In August, 1861, he entered tbe army
as stuguon of tbe First Pennsylvania
Cavalry, and was connected with the
Army of the Potomac until promoted to
the post of snrgeon of United States
Volunteers, in November. 1862 from
which date he resigned. In December
186.5, he acted as superintendent of hos
pitals, and as assistant and acting medi
cal director of the Northern Department,
on the staffs of General Heintzelman
and Hooker. In 1861 he was breveted
lieutenant colonel, and 1865 was made
brevet colonel. He came of a Quaker
family, and was always an Abolitionist,
advocating tbe cause of the slave, wheu
to do so was to brave general opinion
Prior to bis election in October he never
held any public office At that time he
was chairman of the Beaver County
Republican Committee. Phdadeljihia

Tbe antral at San Frauciaeo, on tbe
5th inat., a ship from Honolulu and Ana
j j,, brought tbe eaptain of a water
brig he being the mily sarviv
gber of tbe crew. Be also re-
porta a temble disaster to tbe Arctic
whaling fleet in the ice. Thirty-three
vessels were crashed or abandoned
From the captains of a number of the
lost whalers he learned and furnished the
following :
"The vessels commenced arriving,
says Captain Thaddeus. of Cape St
Than dr us on the 1st of June the ice
opened and let tbe fleet up within sight
of Cape Navarino; the fleet woraing
northward fonnd some whales crossing
the Sea of Anadvr. and in the Sea of
Anadyr and Bering's Sea more and
plenty, but experienced much trouble
from ice, and when tbe fl-et arrived at
Cape Behring tbe whales had passed
through into the Arctic Ocean, whither
tbe fleet followed tbem, meeting with fair
snccess until September 1, when tbe ice
floes and bergs, to a great extent, com
menced drifting down, aud by tbe lOtb
a number of vessels had been sunk, and
the bulk of the remainder hemmed in by
drifting ice or driven ashore.
On September 2. the brig "Comet
sunk, on the 9. the "Roman" was drifted
bodily out to sea by two floes and erusb
ed like an egg shell, tbe crew narrowly
escaping The "Florida" and "Victoria,
of San Francisco, were also crushed
On September 13 tbe captains of tbe
fleet hemmed in between Point Belcher
and Wainwrigbt Inlet held a meeting and
resolved to abaudou tbe vessels in order
to save the lives of the crews, which
was done, and tarelve hundred sailors
took refuse on board tbe remainder of
the fleet which bad been fortunate enough
to escape outside before the ice closed lu.
Nearly 600 of the wreeked sailors
were Kanakas, and will remain at Hon
olulu. The San Francisco officers think
a vessel should be sent to bring tbe re
mainder home. 1300 men were brought
from tbe Arctic seal on six whalers
Tbe loss by the destruction of the fleet
is about CI 00.000. Tbe catch destroy
ed foots up CI 3065 barrels of whale oil.
965 of sperm oil. aud 100,000 pouuds of
bone
It is supposed that the whole number
lost will reach thirty three. All the
abandoned ships it is believed will be a
a total loss, there being little chance of
recovering even the cargoes in the spring
The news has created the greatest ex
citement in Honolulu and here.
So.MB carping iudividual has defined
woman as a uecessary evil. If we are to
believe accounts received from Greece
the adjective contained iu this definition
must now be removed, since there exists,,

sary. This wonderful locality is a bold

How do these benighted biethien get

them, or perhaps, being absorbed in spir

Mg Drat Mr Editor : My favorite
night baa again come around. It's not
as bright as h generally is te aw. I'm m
liltl nawett. May be it a tbe stall cloady
rain-feeling weather that We have that
makes me feel so in a great meraure. You
know I m getting a little old. and on us
old fellows the change of weather sets
hard. I don t rramble thoueb. -1 never
grumble at what nature does - She al
ways does thtugs right, you know, and
if things are wrong, we have only to
take a goo 1 look at ourselves to see the
cause ; aud if tbe big bogs of the Demo
cratic party would just only take one
long good peep at themselves, they'd
see that tbe cause of tbe mighty big
lickings that yon fellows have been giv
ing them in tbe past ten years, "is be
cause they got away froa tbe land
marks" set by Andy Jackson, and get
lost. Why I lell you they're as much
mixed up now as a flock of squawking
wild geese iu a fog. One squawks this
and tbe other that, and it's a general
squawking all around the ring. It s a
confouuded noioe that tbey keep op, like
that boy that whis'led iu the dark to
keep from gettiag scared. Tbe Hrtj!U'r
sometimes get out of tnne aud gets iuto
what o.r old singing master used to tell
us was auother key, and thea it sings
curiosity and cabbage. I don t know,
but you printer that read all the papera
ought to know if the R-jiter lives on
cabbage. Some fellow last fall told me
tbat it gets a heap of cabbage out of the
New York World, and don't pay for it
neither, and dou't even say "thank you,''
or tell us Democrats where it gets it's
best beads. Yon printers ought to
know, and when 1 go up to Mifflin I'll
stop and see yon, and you must tell me if
it steals it's cabbage. If it does, I'll tell
it all around.
. Besides the weather that makes things
seem a little out of place on this Saturday
night, is the humor that I'm in about
yon. It s not tbe good nnmor mat I
was in last Saturday night. I'm a good
deal mad at you for sticking the name of
Andy Johnson just where you ought to
put tbe name of Andy Jacksou in last
week's Srnti'n-l. I was furious when I

something not very nice about one of his ,
lady friends, lie swore and he cursed
and got his pistols that he had when he
licked the British, and said that he'd
shoot tbe man that said the bad things,
and started lo leave the house to shoot
tbe fellow. His wife saw the trouble,
stepped in front of him and put her arms
around his neck and looking into his
brave face and said, "Andy, dear, for
my sake, don't go ; don't tboot the man.''
Andy was fond of the ladies and honor
ed his wife, and cooled down and didn't
go and shoot the fellow ; bnl he swore
that if he'd cheep another word that he
wmiMn't be liinrfered from nhnotinir him
, .i i j r n i.
by man or woman, or tbe old fellow who
. ' ... , t .
keeps the brimstone furnace. Just to
find Andy Johnson's n -me
IK tllM
name of tbe great Jackson (that man
who is the idol of the dreams of good
Democrats and the model of the wakeful
hours of all the faithful Democrats) was
such a blow on me that I got all-fired
mad. I said a heap of strong words, and
I believe I wouldn't a' wrote another line
if Mis Speak hadn't done just like Mrs.
Jackson, and came and looked up into
my mad face and said "Barton, there's a
mistake somewhere. D nt get so exci
ted in your old days. Wait till yon
know something more about this matter.
I said " I'll wait till T know something
more about the matter.'. I expect you
to write me a letter next week and ex
plaiu the whole matter But if it ever
happens again, I won't stand it ; I won't
write another line for your paper I
can't help but wonder how yon got the
men mixed. They ain't more alike than
the moon is like green cheese, and I knt w
that yon know that too. Yon know that
what And Jackson did and said he
meant and did He'd rather lost his
right eye than to have gone back of bis
word or done what wasn't right. He
wasn't a traitor to any one, and Johnson
was a traitor to every one, and he came
mighty near upsetting the government
while he was playing what he called the
tribune That was only a false lace, that
he put on to fool yon fellows. We
knowed him ; he didn't come it over as.
He said he was a Moses ; and in the next
breath, like the R'gi-ter. be said that he
was down on the Freed man's Bureau
that it was giving the President tootnnch
power ; and all the time, wasn't he.
wherever he could, patting oat of office
men of yonr party who wouldn't dance
when he fiddled, and patting in each fel
lows as would. It didn't make any dif
ference if they werv Democrats ; for
didn't he put onr little chairman into the
Post Office in Mifflin May be that was
a partnership arrangement with a John
sonite.' I heard such a whisper ; I don't
say that it is true. - But when he went
around tbe circle yon fellows fetched
him. and it was high time. I mind very
well bow high he got when he was on
that tramp. He thought that he was
just on the track that suited him, and he
thought that he'd pnt out a feeler, to see
how the people would feel if he'd upset
things and make himself master. He
got one of i hem fellows that every Pres
ident baa abont him to help him to do
the work about the government one of
the cabinet to ask the people if they
wanted a dictator that meant a' king. .
That was an old dodge, and didn't take.
I read in a newspaper of just such a
game that two fellows played on the
Romans long sgo. I tftmk that I cast
was the name of one and Anthony was
tbe name of the other. Anthony always
stock to Ccsar like a kitten to a hot
brick, and at a mighty bis; dinner after
Vmtmr has kicked the government into
splinters, he wanted his master to take a
geiden crown. Cesar put ont his bsnd
and shoved it aside, and let on that he
didn't want it. The people looked on
like a flock of tame sheep. Tbe R.man
ring knowed that tbe people would stand
it That crown play was a feeler, like
Andy Johnson's man asking if tbe Yan
kee boys wanted a Dictator or King.
They said "No." That was Andy's
cloven foot Yon fellows did settle him
after that right smart, and everywhere
the people settle the ring-leaders of the
Johnsouites whenever they get a smack
at them. Doolittle will get a sockdolo-
ger in Wisconsin sore. Andy Jackson
never wanted to be a King. He was too
good a man to think of rnnning tbe
country into the ground that way.
If you badu't mixed the two Andys,
I guess I would have got to the Fair
as it is. if something in politics don't
turc up, I'll get at it next week. Be
patient like Job.
Yours, truly.
