St. Augustine, Florida, Sept. 3. There is reason to believe that the steamer Vera Cruz of the Havana and Mexican line which sailed from New York, Aug. 25th, has been lost with all passengers and crew. Parts of the mail she carried have been washed ashore, and cargo supposed to be hers strews the shore for forty miles be low St. Augustine. Five bodies have also been washed ashore and a trunk bearing the name of one of the passengers in the ship. A large steamer supposed to have been the Vera Cruz, was seen Saturday last about GO miles offshore from St. Augustine by a brig which was wrecked in a gale which broke out on Suudav.

Moody to Attack Satan'a Stronghold In San Francisco. Nortiifield, Mass., Sept. G.D. L. Moody will begin a season of evangelical work in San Francisco and remain there during the winter. His family will re main in Northtield. In choosing San Francisco as his next point of effort he has not overlooked the many difficulties to be met or the strength of the influ ences that will operate against his suc cess. There is probably not another large city in the country where the rigidly orthodox Christianity which Moody preaches has received such little encour agement hitherto as in San Francisco. Still he believes it is the nlace where he is most needed at the present time, and believes that with the co-operation which he expecls from the churches the city will be deeply stirred. PACIFIC COAST. Arrival of the "HoChnng." -- San Francisco, Aug. 30. The Chinese steamer Ho Chungarrived this afternoon from Canton via Honolulu. She landed about 450 Chinese passengers at Hono lulu. It will depend upon the instructions of her commander relative to the length of his stay in port whether she will pay "express extra duties and discharge cargo at once or await action of the United States government on the subject. Ouray's Sncccssor. Los Pinos, Aug. 30. Rapornari is most favorable regarded by the grand counci lor uuray's successor. He is inferior to Ouray.

The board of supervisors have passed resolutions ten dering the freedom of the city to Presi dent Hayes ana appointed a committee to prepare for his reception. Stnge Robbery. San Francisco, Sept. G.

Why Artliur ivas Removed. Cincinnati, Aug. 31. In reply to a question by one of the audience at his speech last night, as to the cause of the removal of Gen. Arthur as collector of customes, Sherman said: "I have never said one word impugning Gen. Arthur's honor or integrity as a man and a gen tleman; but he was not in harmony with the views of the administration in the management of the custom house." makes she is The government has at last commenced proceedings against obscene publications, hip ! hip ! hu- which have of late assumed proportions unexampled under any previous regular government. New pajjers, illustrated or otherwise, are daily cropping up, the sole speciality of which is the publica tion of immoral articles or designs, and without energetic repression there is no telling to what, length the thing would go. Even large-sized napers have owed their rapid success to this class of litera ture, and found subscribers in all sections of the Parisian world, and working girls and women may every morning be seen on the quays in the most popular quar ters devoting their small savings to the purchase of shetts which they eagerly conceal, reserved for their mealtime rest. Such literature is a nursery of de pravity, and it is useless to proclaim in fine nhrases the necessity of re-kindlm . . 0 the national forces, if a school of shame less vice is allowed to corrupt and en slave the masses. It would be unjust to impute this outbreak of licentiousness to tho republic, for such attempts have been made under all governments by tm scrupulous men, who have traded on un healthy curiosity to make up for their lack of talent. Liberty of the press has obviously nothing to do with the ques tion, for obscene literature can claim no privilege. It results either from amoral malady, in which case the government has a right to protect the public from I w f I 1 t M this as irom otner contagions, or lrom a disgraceful speculation, in which case it comes within the law against indecency. Prosecutions are therefore no infringe ments of tho liberty of tho press, but simple disinfectants. JjOudon before the them. We cheer irniic. afternoon sky is battle is in my my back on the it mean ?

That is tho grave. How he Got Some Water. An American arrived the other day at a little hotel in a French provincial town. Tired and dusty with travel, he de manded a room and jjlenty of water to wash in. "Water! We wave not a drop," said the landlord. Muttering expressions of dissatisfaction he reached his room and began bellowing in a voice that could have been heard a mile, "Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!" A dozen ser vants rushed np-stairs and into his room, bearing in their hands vessels of ali sorts filled with water with which to ex tinguish the flames. "Ah," said the guest, turning composedly upon them, "you may leave the water. Thank you; that is all." Dr. Tanner's Wonderful Liquid. Dr. Tanner's divorced wife says that the fast was a humbug, as the water he drank contained some wonderful liquid found . in South America, which can serve as food and drink. If he has demonstrated the existence of such a liquid, he has done something more important than showing that a man may live more than forty days without food. 94- it
