OH THE ATLANTIC. Mr. II y lid Writes Interestingly of liife o tlie Ocean Wave. Slowly the steamer backed away from her wharf, and pointing her head east ward steamed toward the sea through myriads of ferryboats and craft of all sizes and descriptions. Down past the skyscrapers on Lower Broadway, past the Statue of Liberty and Coney Island beach at full speed, till the Sandy Hook lightship was reached, when a stop was made long enough to allow the pilot to drop into a boat lowered from a pilot steamer to receive him. The signal for full speed ahead was given and soon we had onr last glimpse of land. The 'Philadelphia" of the American line sailing to Southampton, England, fol lowed us closely for several hours, but before sundown she disappeared over the horizon in our wake. After beins assigned to our berths and relieved of our baggage we had time to look around and examine our new home. The "Campania" is one of the largest and fastest of the Cnnard fleet, sailing regularly between Liverpool and New York. Her record across the Atlantic is 5 days, 9 hours, only two hours longer than the bpst time made. She is a ves Fel of 12930 tons 020 foet long, (about he distanc from the First National Bank to Xlocum's drug store) Go feet wide and 4.3 feet deep. She has twin propellers, driven by engines of 30,000 horse power, and has an averaue speed of 22 miles an hour. She consumes daily from 500 to 000 tons of coal, and the number of men employed in the en gineers department alone, including fire men, number 193. Her full crew num hers 420, divided into three depart ments, seamen, engineers, and stewards with the captain in his uniform "mon archbfallhe surveys." The passen gers on the trip numbered 1141, making 1001 on board, nearly 50 per cent more than the present population of Hepp ner, and it is remarkable that during the seven davs we were on board there was no sign of friction or disorder in any de partment, everything moving along with the regularity of clock work. A very close line ia drawn between the cabin and steerage passengers, noDe of the latter being allowed on the upper deck. It was rather amusing to see the small boys from the steeraee work their way to the upper deck during the first day. Soon the "master-at arms" would spot them as "strays" and with a heavy hand on their coat collar and a heavy shoe under their coat tails, they hast- j ened to the lower decs. Only by strict observance of the ship's rules could or der be maintained in so large a com pany, confined in 60 limited a spat e. The passengers were divided into three departments, the first cabin, sec ond cabin and steerage, numbering 247, 213 and 047 respectively. The cost of tire t cabin ticket is from $ to 8130 ac cording to accommodations provided, of second $50, and steerage S-10. At pres eol there are cut rates in steerage tick- e wink on ate war between rival companies, ai d round trip tickets are 8 d at $25. Owing to the low steerage rite many weie n that department who w uldo herwise haye traveled in the second cabin, they preferring to sacrifice heir comfort on the way across for the 75 -aved. We had a beth in the second cabin, small room about 9 feet by ten feet, in which were four narrow beds, two, one above the othe on each side, and a small closet tor clothes. errins. etc. at the end of eM-h tier of beds. This left only a narrow hallway between the beds not ver four feet wide at one end was the door, a th- other a very neat wash stand, mirror, etc. This berth whs occupied by Mr Lindsay, Mr. 'urphy, an Im'hI niHn fi m Denver, Mr. Hcobwon, a Swede, fioin I'niiadelphia, nd mvnelf, ab on the w y io v! ito r native lands, and we had a vetv pleas ant time together. The berths are se - torn occupied except at night, a large and comfortable smoking room tor the men, and an elegant sitting room for the ladies being provided on the upper deck with suitable attendants for each. Bath rooms are nicely upholstered, and kept as clean as a new pin. A lovely piano with numerous music books, mag azines, writing paper, a library, etc, ar provided for the ladies' entertainment. while in the mens resort is a bar room where all the popular drinks are served, checkers, chess, cards, etc Quite contrast between the forms of enter tainment. During the summer months most of the time is passed on deck where the comfortable deck chairs are set around under the awning, reminding one of a beer garden without the beer or tables for no drinks are served out side of the smoking or dining rooms. Among the passengers nearly every northern state was represented as wel as Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, and the British Isles. The Irish predomin ated, many returning to their native isle for a yisit, many to spend the remain der of their days. It is wonderful how quickly acquaintances are formed, how soon "birds of a feather flock togeth er." We had the usual specimen this time from 'Frisco who knows it all and who before the trip was over had made himself obnoxious to every one the honey moon couple who should have seen themselves as others saw them; the small boy who was having the ti ue of his life, and the good al round fellow male and fpmale who was out for a good time and had a good word for every one. We had splendid weather all the way across, good happy company and certainly pleisant trip as one could wish. The first cabin passengers were more exclusive, spending most of their time in their elegant sitting rooms, and sel om mixing wilh the second cabin crowd. One section of the upper deck is reserved for them, and their apart ments are luxuriantly fitted up. Their fare being about double, tbpy are en titled to better service, .but the accom modations in the Cunard line for second cabin passengers are all that one could wish for, and are equal to the first cabin accommodations in many steamers crossing the Atlantic. The steerage through which we took a trip daily is of rather a low order, and during ronh weather must be decided ly filthy. While the weather was fine there were many eiok women and chil dren during the first day out and the surroundings were anything but pleas ant. At nine o'clock each evening when the bugle sounded all the women and children in this department were re quired to go below to their borths. The food and sleeping accommodations are also p.ior, and even in fine weather did not look nvitin,;. T!-i di-iimr room in our department accWmod.ited HI at a sitting, 12 tables with 12 c hairs each.

These stewards, one for each table, were very attentive especially if half a dollar had been slipped into their hand during the first meal. Breakfast was served at 7:30 and 8. Dinner at 12 and 12 :30. Tea at 5 and 5 :30 and supper at 8 and 8 :30. A splendid table was set at each meal and owing to the fine weath er very few chairs were vacant. Some trips across only a few chairs are occu pied during the first half of the voyage, quite a saving to the company. On Sunday, the day after we left New York, services were held in the first C i lll oinl " i ll) '..I h ue congre- gation was present. The Kpiwopal ter vce was read hy the pinner, and it seemed very impressive when the choir composed of stewaids, and joined by the congregation sang that portion of the old missionary hymn. "Waft, waft, ye winds his story, And you, ye waters roll, Till like a sea of glory It spreads from pole to pole.'' While we were being rocked on the bosom of the broad Atlantic, a collec tion was take n up for the benefit of the Seamen's Charities in Liverpool and New York and the amount turned over to the purser was about $50. (To be continued.) Found 50000 Old Pennies. An old nail keg was recently unearth ed in one of our Western cities by work men engaged in tearing down an old building. Upon opening it thev became very much elated, as it was full of pen nies, but their joy was soon turned to disappointment, for on closer examina tion they were found to be commercial pennies, used during the war, and of no value whatever now. The above has also been the experience of sickly men and women who were deceived into try ing various remedies to restore them to health, but because they contained no merit were sadly disappointed. Not so, however, with those who selected Hob tetter's Stomach Bitters to cure them of belching, heartburn, indigestion, dys pepsia or malaria, fever and ague, for today they enjoy perfect health. A trial will convince you too. Couldn't Sleep WilSioiit It. A Btory is told on Judge Parker, Democratic candidate for President, that accounts for his swimming quali ties.

Two Great Sea tight of Histori cal Magnitude. The fast and turions stage of the war in the Orient has arrived. The past two weeks have been marked with tremen douB destruction of life and property. All reports from Tokio and St. Peters burg show that the smashing sea fight from which Admiral Togo emerged a victor was the worst disaster yet pus tained by Russia in the war. Even more certain it is that the naval en gagement outside of Port Arthur on August 10th was one of the greatest the world has ever known.

Some of the czar's war ships will never fight Again. At least one of the warships is out of action for ever. Five are crippled. Two of the cruisers are out of action. The once great fleet is torn and scattered, and Port Arthur is virtually left defenseless from harbor attack. This is the wful price the Russian general stHff admits was paid for the dash from Port Arthur. Nearly a score of other naval officers, mostly on the Czarevitch and Retzivan, were slain. Hundreds of seamen were lost. Five battleships were badly dam aged. The Czareyitch was permanently disabled. Two cruisers are in unsea worthy fix. Two destroyers are strand ed on the rocks. The fleet is scattered and' crippled. The killing of Rear Ad miral Withoeft, who was in command of the Russian naval forces at Port Ar thur, occurred during the engagement. "We got the range exactly," says Com mander Oguraj "and almost all our shells told, while those of the enemy fell around us. Shells fell thick and fast until the sea was fairly boiling. Vice Admiral Togo remained on the bridge of the Mikasa throughout the battle." The officer says that three 12 inch shells struck the Czarevitch within 15 minutes, doing terrible damage and causing the, vessel to tremble and to travel rapidly in circles for 10 minutes until temporary repairs had been made The first shell killed Rear Admiral Withoeft and several other officers. The second struck the conning tower and killed everybody in its vicinity. while the third hurst against the fore mast. During the niht Japanese tor pedo boats at'acked the Cznievitch no fewer than five times. "Wesasv the torpedoes fired," said the officer. They passed very close to us, but none stiuck us.

This time the Vladivostok squadron was put out of business, making Japan mistress of the seas. The' surviving sailors of the Ru sian cruiser Rurik, who were landed at Sasebo, the Japanese naval base, have thrilling stories to tell of Sunday's eea fight in the Korean strait. The three cruisers of the Vladivostok squadron, the Rurik, Rossia and Grona oboi, steamed out of port on Saturday with the intention of effecting a junction with the Port Arthur squadron. "We had reached the latitude of Fusan on Sunday morning," said a lieutenant, who is among the survivors, "when wo saw four Japanese cruisers off toe Ko rean coast, evidently patrolling the channel. Signals were dfsplayed from our flagship, in response to which our squadron turned and steamed north at full speed, , "Immediately the Japanese cruisers pointed northwest evidently with the intention of heading us off. The reason for our retreat was that the presence of the Japanese fleet showed us that the sortie from Port Arthur had failed. "For some reason the Rur k made . steam slowly, and when the Japanese cruisers began firing, which was a little after 5 o'clock in the morning, our boat, was the target for the four guns of all the pursuers. "They got our range and then the shells bid fair to blow us out of the wa ter. I don't know how many times we were hit, but so terrible and accurate was the Japanese fire that I only won der there wa9 a man of us left. "Soon the Rossia and the Groraoboi showed the effects of the enemy's fire. They were hit a number of timee. Flames started from the Rossia and we signallgd: 'Goodbye, save yourselyea.' At this time the enemy was heading ia so dangerously that the Rossia antl Gromoboi steamed away and we got safely back to port. We were settling bdly and were making preparations to leave the vessel when the Japanese cruisers steamed out from behind the island of Tsushima and attacked ue. We returned their fire as bravely as possible, but in a few minutes we had not a gun left. The two new cruiser showered shell after shell into us. W settled more and more, so a hist com mand was given to stand to quarters, and then her bow went up and (he Ru rik went down. "There were 775 of us when we left Vladivostok and the enemy saved about 000. Their conduct was most, kind. The' claimed that their cruisers were not injured, but I do not believe thai p issible.
