'THE ASIA. CALAAIrir• Immediate Cause ot the Vessel's Loss - Some Telling BevelatIons by the Gov. crewcut Inspector. An Ottawa despatch says: Captain Scott, R.N., ,who conducted the inquiry into the cause of the Asia disaster, is in the city on his way to Halifax, his home. He .purpesed making a report to the Gov- ernrnent at once, but the Ministers have advieee hem to look carefully into all the evidence taken- beeore giving any formal verdict, as his report will probablybemede the basis of legislation affecting inland navigation. Capt. Scott expremes amaze- ment at the state of affairs disclosed by the investigation. That river boats like the Asia, have so long been permitted to carry passengers ' upon the large lakes is to him a matter of amazement, 9,8 the dangers Of navigation are almost as .great as an the Atla,ntio. ' The present 'mode of constructing and loading lake steamboats is highly dangerous and impro- per. Deck houses insecurely fastened and heavy deck loads render lake steals:Moats unmanageable in a heavy sea, and the ves- sels, as a,' rule, 'are too weakly built to stand the storms which_oineeep over' the_ great lakes. The immediate cause of the eloss.of the,Asitt, in Capt. Scott's opinion, was the form Of the gale, which kept the vessel on her beam ends till she gradually filled with water and Bank. The porte were doubtlees driven in -by the foree of the sea long before the vessel sank. The captain and other 'officers, of the Asia, from ell he learned were capable men, but Capt. Scott considers that examinations and certificates of qualification were just aseneceseary for captains and mates of vessels engaged in the lake trade as for those oeociean steam- ships and ballingvessels. Inspectors of vessels have really very little power_ While at Collingwood :Captain Scott saw 150 persons embark for the -north Shore on the Africa, a vessel licensed to oarry only forty passengers. The inspector was powerless to prevent the vessel leaving, and the passengers, though warned of the danger, were so anxious to reach' their destination that they were prepared to run any amount of risk. The Buffalo vessels appeared to be more strongly built -them- those owned. on the Canadian side. Lake vessels, like ocean veesels, require to carry their loads below decks for safety.

A telegram 'dated Winnipeg Saturday evening, says: _Chief justice Wood was -seizee with a paralytic stroke this after- noon, shortly after 4 o'clock, while hearing amiss on the bench. His Lordship. was speaking, and it was noticed his voice was gradually becoming weaker, and finally he fell backward on his chair. A gentleman present rushed to hes aid, and medical assietance was called in. He was removed in a oarriage to his residence, but, it being his third attack. vere little hopes are falter- tained of his rrebovery, , • Lerein-Chief Justice Wood died last (Saturday) night at 8 o'clook from paralysis , with which he was atrioken four hours earlier. He never rallied from its effect, and he never spoke. To -day reference was made to his death in several of the churches, and the "Dead March in Saul" was played. Deep regret is generally- felt at. his unexpected end, for although passing inte,his 66th year, and appatently failing in health, it was generally considered that acme years of usefulness were still before him. His remains will be interred on Tuesday at St. John's Cemetery.; • A telegrana from Winnipeg dated last (Tuesday) ,night says :, The remains of Chief Justice Wood lay in state till 2 p.m. ih the Court, which ,was crowded. The funeral was the largest yet held in the Northwest. In the procession were nearly all the leading citizens. There Was e Wag procession of vehicles oonteining public bodice'. Theaservicea were .held in St. Jolan's Cathedral, and a burial and inueical service at the grave. The expression of esteere on the part of the general public Wag spontaneous and deeply impressive.

A circular of the New York State Martell of Health contains the following direotioris for the treatment of cases of typhoid fever, dysentery and cholera and typhus 'fever: Typhoid Fever -The poison .lies in. the discharges from the bowels, Which. Should be at once disinfected with the solution of the zinc -salt or of copperas. Particular care should be exercised to prevent any possible centaminatioatef sources of drink- ing water with these discharges. Bed clothing or other articles soiled by the evacuations should be treated with the eitio solutioe and be boiled. Dysentery and Cholera -Adopt the same regulations as in typhoid fever. - Typhus Faver-Enforce free ventilation and disinfection of clothing, as above described. Attend to the fumigation of the sick room and its bedding. . . Te PrbVent the Body of the -Patient - from Spreading Contagion -In the eruptive. diseases, especially in scarlet' fever,. the - patient's body should beetle:tinted atleest twice a day with oil, lard or vaseline; con- taining about ten grains of carbolic acid or -ofe-thyprel-to-tbe-ounce,. This -process - should be maintained .until all bran -like scaling of the skin is at an end. The zinc-, salt solution should be used as direeted Before again associating with unprotected persons the patient should. have . several complete ablutions, including thorough washing of the hair with soap or borax; and none of the clothing worn for several days before the diepase declered itself should be again used until thoroughly dis- infected and ventilated in the open air several days. • Avoid visiting houses where there are any of thesediseases. Occupants of such houses should not visit. Ilerrmano's Greatest 'Erick.' The trick which Herrmann always re- garded as his greatest effort was thus described by himself: "It was performed before the Emperor Dom Pedro at Rio Janeiro. Dom Pedro is a devoted patron of art and artists, and on my arrival at the Brazilian capital I received the imperial command to attend at the palace. The hour fixed. for my audience was 9 o'clock, and quite a nuinber of the. grandees were present at the court. Nine o'clock came and passed, but I did not appear; juet as the clocks were striking 10 I wasannounced. His Majesty carne forward in no vary amiable mood. You are late, Mr. Heer- mann,' said be. 'Pardon, Your Majesty,' said I, but I underetood your command was for 9 o'clock-' " But it is 10 now.'

The Medical Press says that Dr. Deuker, who, during twenty-four .years of very extensive practice in the Children's Hos- pital, St. Petersburg, has treated upward of two thousand cases of diphtheria, and tried all the remedies, both internal and external, employed in this affection, has obtained the best results from the following method, which he has employed for the last ten years. As Boon ae the white spots appear on the tonsils he gives a laxative mainly composed of senna, which produces an abundant evacuation. When the peep- tive effect has ceased he gives cold drinks, acidulated with hydrochloric acid, and every two hours a gargle composed of lime water and hot milk in equal parte. Dr. Deuker affirms that when this treatreent is commenced early it is generally 'and rapidly successful. Professor Blackie in tile Cluss Boom.

Tate illusical Pitch -An Important Change ' A much-needed reform in the direction of lowering the present sharp American pitch is at last to be taken hole of by that influential organization the New Yerk Phil- harmonic Society. A day will be Axed not later than the spring for the -reform to go into effect. The whole orolsestresewill be lowered about a semitene. The change will be of much benefit to old and valuable string instruments, widen were never ill - tended to be tuned to 80 high a pitch as is - at present in vogue. In classical works, moreover, it will relieve the singers of it reinoue train which the composer never intended they should be subjected to. The pitch will probably' beelhe same as that adopted by the coramission appointed by the French Government in 1858. In this scale the treble C was fixed at 522 vibra- tions, equivalent to e17 by equal tempera- ment. The reformed German pitch is about the Ba1330. It is heped the change will extend to Canada, as the pitch of rnost of the piatios is unreasonably high. Remedies for Malaria.

A Lost Minn Found by Means of at Dream -di. Speedy Answer to Prayer. A telegram frona Kingston says: Sittelost marvellous occurrence transpired at In- verary a few days ago, he most interesting fe.ots'of which reached here to -day. Law- rence Carey, an old man 70 years of age, got lost in the woods on Thursday morning, and a vigilant !march of three days failed to find him. On Sunday morning about 100 men took part' in the search, but they all met at Carey's house with the same estorye-no trace of him. An open-air prayer meeting was held, and the Rev. B. Young engaged in prayer for the safe deliverance of the lost one to his friends. While he was enumerating Carey's many virtues as , it friend and a neighbor there was scarce a dry eye in the _whole assemblage. Mrs. Hogan, a relation of Oarey's, overcome by her emotion, was carried off the ground in a fainting fit. Before the meeting had broken epees if in answer to Rev. Mr. Young's affecting appeal, joyous shouts were heard, and Mr. Magee, of Inverary, came up in hot haste with the glad tidings that the lost Was found. -Mageeeit-appears, had -been, engaged in e search all dey Saturday,having always taken a very Warm interest in Carey. On Saturday night he had -a startling dream, in which, he twine the Holy Virgin appeared to him, and described to hina tlae exact spot where Carey was to be fean,d.. In the morning he related -his dream to a number of neighbors, and told- them that he thought he knew such a plaoe as the .orie.ceescribed in his dream eh ut two miles north of Hart's dwelling. They hooted at the absurdite of. the thing. As night ap- proeched, hovvevere and no trace of Carey had been found, his' strange dream made' such a deep impression on hie rebid that he started' to go in quest of the place reserabling the one described to him. He found it without much difficulty, a large opening in the earth between two hills, some six or eight feet .in depth, apparently formed by some convulsion of nature: The walla are rocky and , precipitous, and there at the bottom; strange to say, lay Carey, the object of all their search, buried in a deep elebe:71111e: Magee lose:rid aieusing the unconscious sleeper, who, through exposure and want of proper- sustenance, was unable to stand upon his feet. He could give no .satisfactory account of how - he had got there,- nor hove long he had remained in what would have assuredly been his living tomb had it not been for Magee's discovery. It appears that he left home on Thursday evening to look for the cattle, but lost his weer, and wandered a.boutio the darknessamtil he fell into the pit inwhich he was found, and was through physical infirmities unableto get, Table Manners of Children. ' '(Ey Bill Nye.) , Young children who have to wait till' older people have eaten all there is, in the house should- not open the ,dining -room door during the meal and ask the host if he is going to eat all day. It makes the com- pany feel ill at ease and lays up wrath in the parent's heart. Children ehould -not appear displeased with the reenter courses at dinner and then fill up on pie. Eat the: less expensive food first and then organize it panic in the pre- serves. Do not close out the last of your soup by taking the plate in your mouth and pour- ing the liquid down your childish neck. You might spinet, arid itlenlarges and dice - tortethe mouth unnecessarily. When asked what part of the fowl you prefer do not say you will take the part that goes over the feece last. This renaark is very humorous, but the rising generetion ought to originate some new table jokes that Will be Worthy of the age in which we live. Children should early learn the use of the fork and how to handle it This knowledge can be acquired by allowing them to pry up the carpet tacks with this instrument, and other little exercises each as the parent mind may suggest. - The child ehould be taught at once not to wave his bread around over the table while in conversatien, or to' fill his mouth full of potatdes awl then" converse in a rich tone of Voice with some one out in the yard. He might get his dinner down his trachea, and cause his parents great anxiety. In picking up it plate' or- saucer filled with soup or with moist food, the child should be taught not to -parboil his thumb in the contents of the dish, and to avoid swallowing soup bones or other indigestible debris.

Progress in Printing Osiers. The SUMmer number of the London (Eng.) Graphic' has just beeh .iesued. It demonstrates the wonderful advance that ha si been made in Britain in the set of color printing and in its appreciation by the public. Over e70,000 or £14,000 ster- ling were expended on the production of one of these special Beason numbers of the Graphic. It is doubtful whether any pro- prietorate in any country has expended so vast a sum on the publioatioia of one Bin& issue ; of it nuenher subsequent to the one before referred to, over 520,000 copies were ieeued, and the number was out of print in a few days. More than 160 tons of paper were consumed, and the total cost . of production was 485,000, and the pages it put end to end would -have made an unbroken line of paper reaching from London to New York. The whole of the illustrations being printed in many colors, and each sheet having to go throbgle the press separately for each color, represents a total of over 15,000,000 impressions.
