ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Statement or the Other Survivor of the
Wreck of the "Carrie B. Lake."
Capt. Al. Harris came up on the
Qen. Canby yesterday morning. To
him we are iudebted for the following,
which is the statement of Jas, Dunne,
one of the two men whose lives were
saved at the time the Carrie li. Lake
went ashore as reported at length in
previous issues of The Astorian.
Dunne is the man who was on the
schooner and was saved by Capt.
Harris and the life crew. He says:
"We went ashore at 6 r. il, Suu
day. Jan. 3rd, all hands in the cabin
except myself at the wheel, the
weather being thick and hazy, wind
east southeast. I suddenly sighted
breakers right ahead. I sung out,
"Breakers ahead," and put tho helm
hard up, but she would not answer
her helm soon enough to avoid outer
breakers. She soon struck and the
captain gave orders to ge"t the boat
ready, and in ab nt Gf teen minutes
after burning flare-up all hands, five
in number, left the vessel. When
about 50 yards inshore of vessel the
boat capsized on a sand bar, the
water being about 3 feet deep. All
bands, except myself, made for the
shore. I could hear them moaning
and attempted to follow them, but
found the water deepening and I
turned back to Vessel, and got aboard
and stayed there. The vessel drifted
along and inshore about a mile. The
wiad having risen to a gale, I lowered
away the fore-sail, stay-sail aud jib
o keep the vessel from going off
shore, and remained by her until 2 a.
il when I saw red lights btfrned on
the beach, and soon after thin the
life crow arrived and took me off."

In the senate last Wednesday, Hale, j
of New Hampshire charged that in
his state tho appointment of post
masters was made a subject of barter
and sale. Vest, of Missouri, defend
ed the administration and said that he
believed it to have been the intention
of the framers of tho constitution
that the government should bo ad
ministered by friends o the adminis
tration which the people should place
iu power.
A number of unofficial liberal mem
bers of parliament have been m iking
overtures to the Parnellites for co-
operatioa of the latter in raising the
question as to home rule during the
debate on the address in reply to the
queen's npeech. Parnell declines to
reply to liberal overtures unless they
are accompanied by an express agree-
meut to grant Ireland home rule. If
the queen's speech refers to Ireland
tho Parnellites will await the govern
ment's proposal.
A manifesto which the Spanish
bishops snbraitted to tho pope on the
death of Iviug Alfonso lias been ap-
proved by the pope and will be pub-
lifdied forthwith. Tho none savs:
'I would strongly irapre33 upon you
that although politics are based upon
roligion you must not eugage in poli
tics. Provided faith in Catholic prin
ciples is respected all forms ot gov
ernment are admissible.' This is
considered a fatal blow to the pre
tousions of tho Carlists, who, it is
claimed, use religion as a cloak for
the advance of despotism.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
says that his bill for repeal of the
civil service law was introduced iu
good faith aud ho will make a specah
at an early day in support of it. Ho
declares tho law to be a farce and
sham, and that the last presidential
campaign was fought on the issue of
"Turn the rascals out," but sincj tho
election it has been discovered that
that battlo cry was all a mistake, as
there are no rascals in office. Vance
says he doesn't care to be hard on the
administration, but that he will cer
tainly give it a tussle on tho civil ser
vice and silver questions.
In the senate on tho Gth, G-ay, of
Delaware spoke against silver. He
stid that silver coinage had served a
useful purpose as subsidiary coin,
but no country desired a basis of
silver coin alone, and if gold were
supplanted by silver we would have a
silver basis. The gold standard, had
kept us m easy relations with tho
rest of the world. Bimetallism could
not bo reached by one country alone.
McPhersoc, of New Jersey said silver
dollars had thus far remained at par
with gold, because they had but a
limited use and were limited in num
ber within the limit of public needs;
but the Gresham law still held good
after three centuries of observation,
namely, that bad money drives out
good money. All history tanght that
with a currency of a fluctuating
value, as oars was tending to become,
speculation was encouraged and
monetary ruin hastened. The loss
would always fall on the producers of
our country, as the importers would
protect themselves.

A Help to Good Digestion.
Ih the British Medical Journal Dr.
W. Eoberts, of England, discusses
the effect of liquors, tea, coffee, and
cocoa on digestion. All of them re
tard the chemical processes, but most
of them stimulate the glandular ac
tivity and muscular contractions.
Distilled spirits retard the salivary
or peptic digestion but slightly when
sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highlv in
jurious to salivary digestion." On
peptic digestion all wines exert a re
tarding influence. They stimulate
the glandular and muscular activity
of the stomach. Effervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good
with the least harm to digestion.
When one's digestion is out of order
everything goes awrv, unless, as in
the case of T. T. Seals, of Bellaire,
Ohio, who had had dyspepsia for
sevpn yi ars, the digestive apparatus
is kept in apple pie eating order by
Warner's Tippecanoe, the best appe
tite producer and regulator in the
world.
Tea, even in minute quantities,
completely paralyzes the action of
the saliva. The tanmn in s rong tea
is injurious. Weak tea should be
used, if at all. btrong coffee and
