CRUEL STORY OF THE SEA wkf it OF THE BRITISH TI It I A Il RARK Three Vessels Pass Ibe Mliiklng- Itark lltioul ltetlerlnc Assistance Resetted at I -as l.

The story of the Maria Dunan is a piteous one. She was a British bark, an1 sailed from Boston for Ipswich, F.nghind, with a cargo of corn, on the 27th of Hex-ember. She as abandoned at and her captain and crew were brought to the pqrrt of New York last week by tin steamship Columbia, of the Anchor Line, hich has come hither from the Mediterranean. The Columbia (ell in vVith the Maria Dunan in alkont latitude 42 degrees and longitude 41 degrees. When sighted the baric waa in a sinking condition.

With anils blown from the bolt ropes, smashed spars, all her deck bouse carried away and her punyps choked and disabled, the vessePrf crew were covered with sores and wound, and in a frightful state of exhaustion. Probably in a few hourV inoie tlie Maria Dunan would have gone down in spite of all a crew iu tho best condition could have done to prevent it, but maimed, sleepless formany hours and crushed with despair as were these twelve unhappy mariners, their chance of preservation was slender indeed. tn the of leceuilker. the third day out from Boston, the Murm Dunn 11 was overtaken hv a heavy gale. Everything was made as snug aa possible, but the bark lalnir.

heavily, and 011 New Year's eve she was struggling ith a violent tenist. 'ferritin squalls of hail and sn laid her repeatedly almost on her lieam-enils. Furious green seas tore across the decks and hurt into the cabin. Tbe vessel was strained badly, and the seams in her sines began to open. Nearly all her sails, while alio could still show them, were split into riblxms or blown away.

The uiainUUk-gallHiit vard was broken in two, and the spanker gaff and jib guys were earned away. The Woathir was piercingly cold, and the water began to make below faster than the crew onld free the ship iih her pumps. On iHith sides of the pumps the bulwarks were siove in, and finally swept clean overboard and there was hence a const nit danger that the sailors working there would be swept overboard afier them. The bark began to settle by tho stern, and hiiikhe.els were cut away and pirt of the cargo thrown into the sea. I r- in these JcTails it may bo that the lu mi 11 a.s noi lit to have iirele her a tempted passage; but we are assured 1h.1t a survey was made before she let! Boston, and that she was pronounced seaworthy.

The s.i Idest pari oi the sad story re mains to be told, on 1- ii 1. 1 the 2d of Captain Atkinson and his nun h. id decided thai their only hope lay 111 being descried and picked up by i pxs4iiig ship. They had -esolved and 111 the vessel, which was last sinking finder them, if Providence but ent the chance. At 2 o'clock 0.1 the day named their joy may be imagined hen a sail hove in sight.

The British Mag was hoisted with the union down, and other signals of distress were added to it. The stranger came within a quarter ol a mile of the Marin Dunan. She was apparent ly a grain laden vessel from Nova Scotia, also lkound for l'urope. Having come near enough to the dismantled bark to see thai she was he! ples-s and sinking, and near enough indeed to see the faces of the miserable crew, the stranger, who was carrying can vass and in good condition, actually sailed away ithout making a sign and left the Muri't Iunun aud her crew to perish. on Saturday morning, the day afterward, a barkeniiue was seen approaching, and again the crew of the fated ship set their signals of distress, aud again their hearts bounded with the hoje of rescue; and again, to the shame of human nature, was tbe Maria Dunan abandoned, although her plight must have leeti as distinctly visible to the second craft as it waa to the first.

That the men of the Maria Dunan in circumstances so agonizing kept bravely to their work is as surprising as creditable. But their trials ere not yet over. On Sunday morning at 7 o'clock a third vessel came iu sight, aud this lime was a steamship bound eastward. She passed half a mile on the tnirt side of the disabled bark, and, like her pre-decessois, went hor way in cynical silence. Captain Atkinson is confident that all three of these ships clearly saw his signals and perfectly understood the desperate necessity that prompted them; but that those "in couimana of the ships were too selfish to spare tho tune ami take thj trouble to save their fellow -beings who, without help, wero thus obviously destined lor destruction.

There is perhaps no legal punishment for wickedness like this; but ho will deny that it ought to bo exposed and held up for the execration of mankind? Probably each of the brutal ship-masters, who. like those similar creatures in the parable, "passed by on the other side," supposed that none could ever liva of the crew of the-sinkiiig vessel to tell the tale of their desertion and to pillory the das.arila who were guilty of it for universal scorn an- detestation. Had it not been in truth, lor that good Samaritan, the Columbia, this expectation would undoubtedly have been realized. Musk rats as I'ropliets. Kioin the I.eTinirtoii Press.

A gentleman of this city, distinguished as a hunter and known to observe closely the habits of all ild aui-mals, slates that the musk rats have failed this inter, tor the tirst lime 111 many years, to build thejr large mounds for protection ugainst cold weather, 'ihis, he says, is a sure sign of a mild winter. L.ust year he observed their mounds were unusually large. The weather then was intensely cold. The li dtans lelieve that the mounds built by tho musk rats are a sure indication oi the character ol the inter. When the mounds are lare tho winter will be cold; when the mounds are small the winter will be mild.

The experi-rience or the present and past winter certainly indicates that there is some ti uih in the theory t.hat the muskrai is a sate guide in predicting the character oi inter eather.

The question of a Democratic candidate for the Pres idential nomination has attracted more attention within the past week than at any other time since Congress convened. Two or three new "booms" have been started within the past few days, and tbe engineers in charge are making great exertions to give each particular boom good headway. Tbe Washington Pst came out yesterday morning broadly in favor of the nomination of Governor Seymour, though that journal has for some time been endoavoring to impress the Democrats here with tho idea that Soymour was the only man who could insure victory, and consequently its Seymour edition of yesterday is not tbe inauguration of a new "boom," but merely a new impetus given to an old ono. The Hancock boom is still being eni-ghieered by I. N.

Burritt, editor of. the Sunday Herald, of this city, and who served on Geueral Hancock's staff during the war. The newspaper agitai-tion here in fkvor of Hancock and Seyi-mour, however, is of Very little importance. There have been, nevertheless, within the past week, two or three important conferences here. In the first place, the introduction im the New York Legislature of a billl proposing to change the method choosing Presidential Electors in that State, so as to have them chosen by districts instead of on a general ticket, is regarded here 'with a good deal of concern by the most thoughtful Democratic leaders.

If that bill should he-come a law, New York will cease to bei the pivotal State, and it will be no longer necessary to consider who cam cairy New York, for if the Electors of that State are to be elected by districts the Democrats cannot hope to carry more than half the districts at the out- side; aud well-posted New York Republicans say that the Republican par-i ty can certainly carry tw enty-two out of the thirty-five districts. It becomesj a most serious question, therefore, for! the Democracy whether the law shall i be changed in New York. Mr. TikJen has said that the law cannot be changed in that State, and the fact that the New York Times is vigorously opposing this measure, is re- garded here as evidence of the truth of the report that Tilden owns stock in the Tinier How ever, that may be, it is certai that Mr. Tilden has inaugurated a vigorous opposition to a change of the law.

The possibility of a change in the electoral law in New York has given new hope to Senator Thurmau and his friends, and has caused him to formal-! ly announce himself as a candidate for i tho Democratic nomination. During the past week a conference was held between the Senator and some of his friends, at whicn the Senator authorized those who were present to announce authoritatively from him that, he was a candidate. The very latest development, kowev- er, in tne way 01 uemocraiic residen tial candidates is the rumor which comes from New York that Mr. Hugh J. Jewett, President of the Eiio Rail road, has been taken up by Clarkson N.

Potter and other friends of Mr. Til den, and is being talked up as a man selected bv Mr. Tilden and Mr. Kelly to unite the Democratic party in New York and poll the biggest vote 111 that State. There is no question whatever thai Mr.

Jewett will mako a storng candidate in New York. He is per sonally very popular, is an old fash ioned Jackson is very wealthy, and last, but not least, has an immense deal of influence by means of his prominent position as a railror.d mn. Meanwhile Senator Bayard is the choice of the more influential Demo crats" than anybody else, and is tha second choice of pretty much every body. The foeling in tavor ol his nom ination is surely crystallizing, aud if he gets a good start in the convention there will be no defeating his nomination. A Xi'H Departure.

Among the notabilities of tho State is Captain T. F. Lee (everybody calls bun lim). His Club House in our city is the gathering-place of notables. Through all his varied forms of service he has gained- and retained hosts of friends; and as years grow ou apace, with a gathering family, he sees the needs of this world's goods to maintain his family in comport with their old surroundings.

K. Y. biar.lsth. It has been, assertol by eminent a vants of late that Adam, tbe progenitor of the human family, was an American This astonishing discovery was made by the eminent Australian philologist, Dr. Rudolph Falk, who hascommuni ca ted the result of his researches to the yeur Freie Presse of Viebna.

He claims that either in Peru or Bolivia Adam first saw the light of day, and that the languages spoken by the Indians of Quichua and Aimara exhibit a remarkable affinity to tbe Semitic lan guages, particularly the Arabic. Dr. Falk asserts that he has discovered a connecting link with the Aryan roots, and has finally reached the conclusion that the Semitic roots are universally Aryan. Quichua and Aimara are where the common stems of all the variants are found in their purest condition From this he induces the theory that the high plains of Peru and Bolivia must be acknowledged as the birth place of the human rce and its poiut ot exit. Dr.

has been versed 111 the Arabic language since boyhood, and feels con dd en he has nade 110 mistake. Europe, Asia and Africa are really the New World, and America the Old where Adam was born. Rev. Joseph Wild, D.D., pastor of the uion Congregational church, Brooklyn, was questioned yesterday by a reporter of the Star about this deeply interesting discovery. He said "Why Adam should not have been an American, I can see no reason.

I have al-waj taken the view that America was inhabited before tbe Flood. There is, geologically, no question whatever of the fact. The prairies were fields cultivated in the antediluvian period. Now, the Aryans were derived from the Semites, or Shemites. Arjan means able cultivator.

Hence the Semitic race, being most agricultural, doubtless i rigated these large tracts of land on the North American Continent. The Saxons, through their descent from the Semites, were Aryans. The Aryan was the second name given to theSein-ite, and the Saxon the third. Another point worth noticing is that South America and Southern Asia were joined before the Flood. That is the theory of Prof, llaeckel, of Jena, the great evolutionist.

We are on the rthern Continent, hut iu the same latitude." "When did the Semitic aud Aryan races divide "I have no doubt the division took place at the time of the destruction of the Isle of Atlantis by volcanic eruptions. We are told in (ienesis and again af er the Flood that the eaath was divided 111 the days of ibis referred to the Island of Atlantis. Solon the Greek speaks of it, as well as Plato in his 'Dialogue of He says tbat a great earthquake lasted for a day and a night, which destroyed gre tt cities and warlike nations. Now, that is when the southwestern portion of of America was separated from the southeast of Asia. That will accouut for ProL Falk's theory of the similarity of their roots" ofTanguages.

In South America we have pyramids such as they had in Egypt. No pyramids are to be found elsewhere except iu Egypt and Sonth America." "Will not this discovery conflict with the Bible?" "Ob, 110. At least not necessarily. We have to do the best we can from the light we have. We ought to make no change iu our belief except hat is in accord with the spirit of the times, or rather what is necessary to progress.

We have already modified Genesis and made it more sensible." "Then we can claim Adam a Yan kee." "It does not follow that Adam was a Yankee in our sense. Early civilization ran right across the then united continents. I have alwav's argued that Noah's ark was -built in South America, and that ft floated away from west to east. The flood was lo4 days in dura tion. Taking the rate of the current as it flows naturally from west to east, the distance would be just 6,000 miles.

Charleston is in a direct line with Mount Ararat." Professor Joseph Rhodes Buchanan, discoverer of the "Science of Psychom- etry," was seen by a reporter yester day, and when asked as to Professor Falk's hypothesis of the origin of the human race, remarked: "I regard Adam as a myth the same as Her cules." Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage of Brook lyn was also called upon, but could not be seen. The reporter wrote the following note, which was taken to the clergyman: Rev. T.

De Witt Talmage: Dr. Rudolph Falk, a distinguished American savant, says that Adam w-as an American. Do you indorse the the ory? STAR KEPOBTEB. Mr. Talmage sent word by a pretty quadroon girl that he begged to be excused.

The girl added: "Massa Talmage he told missus" "What did he tell her?" asked the reporter. He tole her that Adum was an American, but he was sorry for to hear it." Professor Alexander Wilder, author and editor of various works 011 prehistoric subjects, said: "I can see no reason why Adam should not have been an American. Brasseur du Bourburg believed that the Etruscan language was derived from the Central American dialects. Forb ears and years philologists have been anxious to learn who the Etruscans were and whether they were Celts, Phoenicians or Lydians. It, as De Bourburg thinks, they wanie from Central America, they would have been one of the old races.

It has been questioned whether the Semitic was a distinct body or dialects. 1 doubt whether they should stand distinct from the Aramaticor Aryan, or whether they are one of them." "Did Adam speak Hebrew?" asked the reporter. "Hebrew is a derivative language, not a primitive. Many roots of Hebrew words are to be found in the Arabic The larger number of proper names in the Old Testament are not especially liebrew. I will come to meaning of Adam.

Adima, the Sanscrit Aryan word, means Another idea is that A' and 'dam' means one of a twin, or double. The word Thomas, of Semitic origin, has the same derivation. Staniland Wake believes that 'Ad' means the first man, am" the first woman. There is also reason to believe that the name Adam has a possible linguistic relation to the 'Votnu of Central America, which is the same as the Scandinavian which also signifies a 'iii st Pertinent to this subject is the fact of that betwixt the est Indies and tlie European Continent the ocean is less deep than further North or South.

Cor. Aujusta Chronlcla. If Mr. ludenlsnot nov exerting a subtle force all over the eoantry, he is much maligned. Every mysterious political ripplt result is attributed to him.

The present legislative calm is supposed to be his handiwork, al though some folks timidly suggest that Mr. Blaine absence at home may ac count for it. ine defeat or rnurman -r Senator in Ohio is ascribed to the Pacirio railroads plus Tildeitc Senator White's discomfiture in Maryland is traced back to Uie old man auMramercy Park. It is said that no Democratic Senator who voted for the electoral commission shall prosper, iMr. Tilden can brevent it.

I do' not know about Mr. Thurtnan, but my impression is that Senator Wh vte made Home capital mistakes and invited deteat. 1 think, too, the ring in Maryland is all-powerful, and that Mr. Gorman ruled the ring. It is a pity that the city of Baltimore could not command one Senator, and it is to be regretted that tbe State of Maryland has no experience states man in the upper House erf Congress.

But I am decidedly of the impression that Mr. Tilden had no more to do with this posture of events than Grand Khan of i'arttiry or Colonel Jack Brown. I simply detail these circumstances, and am prepared to furnish others in order to demonstrate what a mysterious and pervading influence that strange old man still possesses, and that, if indeed he be. engaged in machination, the world will be startled to some purpose when he starts his entire system with an electric throb that will make Menlo Park look like a junk shop in eclipse. FASHION XOTKS.

Berthas are again in fashion, and are an exceeding improvement on low neck corsages. Costumes of plain material are illumined by splendid sashes, which take the place ol brocades. There is a tendency toward the revival ot tho Josephine styles, the short round waists, the wide belts, straight skirts and sashes. Persian necklaces are made of five rows of Hit gold beads, each bead wrought 111 a pattern different from the others. Fancy muffs of ile pink, blue or or white satin, mm trimmed with lace, are used with evening dressea.

The newest raps are made o. a material which has a heavy silk rib on the outside and a woolly inner surface. The new Paris ball dresses are made high to the shoulders, cut very low in front andat the back, aud with little or no sleeves. The fashion is growing in popularity of having the corsage of different material or color from that of the skirt. Bridal flower sots are net made of orange blossoms exclusively as formerly, but are mixed with lilacs, snow balls, jeseamines or clematis.

In ladies' fancy ties and bows, the the latest styles are the vch.te lace and fancy satin ribloii. For white lawn ties there are pretty lappets in princess lace. Cashmere ties are of red Indian cashmere, ith the variegated ends like a camel's hair shawl in color aud exact imitations, on a small scale, of the broad cashmere scarfs once fashionable. I ong scarfs of black Spar isb lade are now worn on the bonnet, with tbe front edge falling over the brim, the other gathered into the crown behind, and tho ends knotted under the chin. The overdress that is really the most popular for all materials is the Melville.

This is susceptible of the greatest number of arrangements, and ie par-tic lai ly desirable for making up in rich materials. Pure white, cream white, delicately tinted French and India cashmeres, relived by trimmings of satin, are highly popular for home receplioa and general evening wear. A fashion that will hardly be received by women or good taste is the wearing of anklets. A heavy band of silver or gold, with bangles or medallion clasp, is worn over the embroidered and cloaked silk stockings with low slippers. Pretty evening dresses are made of cream colored barege, sometimes trimmed with satin stripped barege of a contrasting color, or with silk.

It is handsomely trimmed with lace and embroidery. Barege dresses are particularly pretty for young ladies. NTATE SKHH. (Correspondence under thts head is furnished, by regular contributors to the News. I HALIFAX.

We have heard the tobacco-user claim that the weed was lood and drink to him, but never thoroughly believed him until a British Parliamentary report cn adulterations set forth the following schedule: "Sugar, alum, lime, flour or meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpeter, killer's earth, starch, malt comings, chromate of lead, peat moss, molasses, burdock leaves, common salt, endive leaves lampblack, gum, red dye, a black dye, composed of vegetable red and licorice, scraps of newspapers, cinnamon stick, "cabbage leaves, and straw brown paper, "This is convincing.

Planters in vacinity of Mount Pleasant, Newberry County, South Carolina, have organized a "Solid Union Club," which we are told is composed mose of old soldiers, presumably ex-Confederates. The resolutions of the club propose General Grant lor President and Senator Bayard for Vice President they send "greetings of peace and good will to all the people thoroughout the land, and invoke them to rally and organize 'Solid Union Clubs' to suppoit the Grant and Bayard ticket, and become one people invisible." The trouble will be about that ticket.
