A THRILLING NIGHT AT SEA.

Captain Lucas's Header With a Mighty Wave that Swept the Chart Room. New York Snn The steamship Rotterdam, Captain T. M. Luca, which sailed from Rotterdam on February 21 for this port, had calm weather varied with light winds, up to the 29th ult, when a high wind sprang up, which soon became a cale. The vessel was then about I longitude 82 degrees. By the morning of .March 1 the gale was ternhc, but still it increased throughout the day, and at nightfall bad attained the fury of a hurricane. The engines were kept moving just sufficiently to maintain steerageway; the ,3o0 steerage pasdDgers were condned . under batten ed-down hatches, and every precaution that care and experience could devise was employed to mitigate ths imminent danger. The storm was, however, an extraordinarily violent one the worst, in the opinion of first officer John Vernes, that he had ever encountered in long service on the sea and the vessel, tossed by the gigantic waves, labored ßo heavily that she threatened momentarily to capsize. At 2 o'clock on the morning of the 2d a mountaialike wave came aboard on the port bow, and, rushing aft with tremendous force, carried away the false bulwarks thrown across the deck in front of the first hatch; then, becon)ing jammed in the narrow passage beside the chart room, dashed in a whole panel of that apartment, and forced out an opposite panel on the starboard side for its escape. The The captain was seated at his table in the chart room, when tons upon tons of water were hurled over him through the bursted side of the room, and without waiting an instant to open the door behind him, he took a header out of the new aperture in the wall, with the swiftly-rushing billow, and picked himself up away amidships. startled, confused and" soaked, but unhurt. The same great wave continuing aft, burst open the cook's galley, and upset a great steam boiler used for cooking the food of the steerage passengers. A lamp trimmer named Yunson was forward of the chart room when the ocean invaded the deck, and was carried like a cork clear aft to the wheel house, along with a portion of the false bulwark and some other dismantled parts of deck lumber. Of that brief but exciting trip in the embrace of the flying wave, he was conscious of nothing, but when he regained his senses and got to his feet he found his left arm broken and a great chunck torn out of its muscle. Another sailor was tossed about almost as wildly, but escaped without other injury than the severe spraining of his left hand. The moment after that wave left the deck, a$ the stern of the vessel descended into the trough of the sea, another enormous wave boerded the deck on the port quarter aft. It dashed in part of one side of the wheelheuie, and to force its way out again from that room which it had instantly filled tore off the side doors and carried them away with it to sea. Strangely enough, it did not break the great panes of thin glass which, from breast-height up, constitute the front of the wheelhouse, but exerted its force laterally upon the doors at the sides. Another wave that mounted the deck was high enough to reach above the companionway doors, which v ere closed, and to hurl many tons of water in one seemingly solid mass through the open i;pace of the sliding cover above, which was temporarily unclosed, and down the stairs lto the first cabin. The cabin floors and the state rooms were deluged, lockers and drawers were filled with water, and beds in lower bunks were afloat It was hours before all the water shipped in that one second could bo pumped and bailed out, and the frightened passengers, who, springing from their bunks, found themselves knee deep in the water in the darkness, gave themselves up for lost. During the worst 24 hours of the storm, including that eventful night, the vessel made but 21 mile9, and the next day but 90 miles. The violent gale lasted four days, and high winds continued all the rest of the way across until the arrival of the vessel yesterday. The tighter a telephone wire is the louder it sings. So with the average man on a lark Storm signals are now maintained by the government along the ocean and lake coast, to give warning to our commerce of the approaching storms.

Hon. James N. Tvner. first assistant

postmaster-general, assumes that under no consideration will he be a candidate for Congress from this, the Eleventh district, Gtneral Jamea R Slack, the Bourbon aspirant will be happy to learn this fact. In the event that Mr. Tyner will not make the race. Hon. Calvin Cowgill or John P. C. Shanks will be the winner. There seems to be a rupture in the Republican ranks here which I am afraid will not be healed in time. Its origin was the appointment of Ira B. Myers, postmaster at this point, over or" instead of George I. Reed, of the Feru Republican. Reed claims that Mr. Tyner promised him the office, and since the appointment has not ceased to attack the former. He is still making a wonderful display of ink on paper in a most grandiloquent style. It is to be honed that the necessary co efficiences will De made between the belligerants to an opportune time. Readers of tbe Leader. Just think of it! There are white men in this city who declare that the editing of a paper "at Indianapolis ia a mere figment. These Fame persons assert , that the fair held by the colored gentry of Marion county last fall' was only a scheme gotten up by the white men to make money. If you should tell them that Vulcan really did forge the thunderbolts of Ju iter they would rather credit it than to think for one moment that Blanch K. Bruce was a "sure nuff" colored United States Senator from Mississippi; and yet these mizzen, half-witted, always free Saxons style us as 'po ignorant niggers." If there was ever creature born of Negro parents, whose general make-up was so devoid of brute sense his whereabouts have never bven discovered. I did intend to inform one white Bourbn that Negroes had been taken from the heart of Africa and educated in the College of the Propaganda at Rome, but I saw that the ignorant fool thought I was non compos mentis.
