Irregularities in the Jail.

Va are pleased to learn that the Com missioners for the Jail took measures, a- soon as the late irregularities were brought to their notice, to enforce stricter discipline —and needed not the hint given by the Examtver yesterday. The fact it appears is. that the prisoners who make tho dis- tarbanee are criminals sentenced to confine, ment in the Penitentivry ; and they «rly await the opening of the new Penitentiary at Dorchester to be conveyed thither. It is very hard to manage them in Queen’s County Jail—hecause they cannot there be placed in solitary confinement.

Visible Charity in’ a Constable.

HOW IT BECAME INVISIBLE.

—

A good Samaritan who resides in this city and transacts a small business in the pro- vision and grocery trade, became by som. mishap of his own the creditor of a widow who resides in the vicinity of Bonshaw. The widow was poor but net destitute. Tue amount of her debt to the goo! Samarita: was twenty dollars—a large amount, in the

eyes of both, these hard times. To put the matter in anutshell: ‘‘She had the wili but ‘not the wuy : the Samaritan dunned but but she could not pay.” Atlength an ac tion was entered and judgment obtain- ed for the full amount ; and an execution was issded and placed in the hands or our here the consiavie. He proceeded tv the humble abode of the widow and with an air of dignity made known his errand. The r widow looks first at the fatherles: children; then at the meagre househol:i effets ; lastly at the only cow, andat length appealed for an extension. But the exe cutor says, “‘no! you must satisfy. My errand sball not be in vain.” A few dollars remained in the house; these wore effered, anc a promise to pay the balance in a few months was made. Here the visible charity begins to appear in our here. He accopts the few dollars, makes note of the promise, and returns to the good Samaritan. Before the good Samaritan hi» visible charity flows as does the runnin. stream. Ina sanctimonious voice he declare it would be rank tyrauny to levy an execu. tion on a woman whose family is so desti- tute as the defendant’s ; through pity -he granted an extension of time, and would return in twe months and recover part ot the amount. The good Samaritan says, * Right you did! You are a charitable fellow | Return when the widow bade you.” On Thursday last he returned; and the widow, with admirable promptitude, paid the balance and obtained a receipt in full. The widow then came to the city. She here id the good Samaritan a visit, expressed caer reyret for giving him so much trouble in collecting his lawful debt, and showed him the receipt which she obtained from the constable. Quite a friendly conversa- tion followed, in the midst of which a knock was heard at the door. The door epens, our hero enters, and is ushered by the goo Samaritan in o an apartment, without getting 2 glimpse of the widow or knowing she was present. He made a touching appeal on behalf ef the widow, as follows :—‘'* Winter was coming on and the widow's faniily is composed of small, help- less children. By levying the execution new you would rob them of all means of support. It would be heartless to do so and I concluded to grant her a further exten- sien of time.” A constable like this is a dear goed man, rarely found in P. E. Island—ch»itable, warm-hearted and com- passionate ‘o the last. The good Samari- tan condac!s him to another apa: tment and placed him face to face with the widow, who holds her receipt in her hand. Our hero's eyes glared and he became literally dumbfounded. His charity also became totally invisible. In trembling accents he! attempted an explanation, but this was! vain. Visions of his own rascality haunted him for hours; and he crowned his villany by calling the widow aside and telling her that “‘ he was very sorry to see her there as it~ prevented him from getting a purt ef;

the amount from the good Samaritan, |

which he intended refunding,”

The “Arizona's” Encounter with an Iceberg. A VERY GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION. — THE RE-

SPONSIBILITY FOR THE DISASTER.

Mr. O’Kelly, correspondent of the New York Herald, was a passenger on the steamer Arizona. He telegraphs that the sieamer made a fine run to the Banks of Newfoundland. Friday was a fine day ; afcer dinner the ladies sat in the cabin and whiled away the hours with gleeful song, while a number of gontlemen occupied the smoking-room, and amused themselves sell- ing pools on the run at auction. The voices ceased, and taérrer seized upon every soul. dalf the occupants ef the room were sprawling on the floor, and the rest were rushing from place to place, with blanched faces and palpitating hearts. The crash was terrific, and as the stout hull of the ship trembled from the shock, the boldest heart grew still. Terror was depicted on many faces, but the only cry heard was that of the warning voices of brave men : ‘* Steady, gentlemen, steady ; keep cool.” The tirst moment of alarm died away, and true manheod resumed sway. During hours of terror which followed, no cowardly word was spoken, save in rare instances. The conduct of the passengers was magni- ficent, and the officers did their duty like men. Capt. Jones quit the bridge at 9 g’clock leaving the ship in charge of the officer of the watch, Join Wynn Jones. All was then safe, and as the night, though overcast, was not dark, no danger was ap- prehended. Ten minutes later the ship was going at topmost speed wnd plunged headlong into a mountain of ice.

THE HUGE SHIP TREMBLED

iike an aspen leaf and recoiled,but again ad- vanced and struck the iceberg, but fortun- ately with diminished force. The first vlow had stove in her bows, crushing them as though they were card. Tons of ice feli ipon the decks or were forced through she gaping hole in the bow. Full 10 feet of iron work was broken, bent, twisted and -oreed inward, leaving an awful chasm through which the waves dashed. It was is though a huge cutter had chopped off he bows leaving the hull exposed. The shock was felt in the saloon even more seriously than on the upper deck. At tin moment it occurred Miss Gosslett was playing an accompaniment te the glee, ‘“‘See our oars with fathered spray,” which was being sung by some ladies and gentle- men. Inthe midst of the song the shock threw the occupants of the saloon violently rom their seats. Many ladies were fnght- ened almost to death, They sought refuge in each other’s arms and wept from very terror at the unknown catastrophe which. ali felt had overtaken them. Some few show- ed remarkable coolness and nerve, anu cried their best to console their more tim vrous sisters. Ln this good work they were sided by husbands and triends, who sought ocon. # tucir own anxiety the better to c.eer their fair companions.

JN DECK THE SCENE WAS FULL OT TERROR.

Jroups of silent passengers were gatuerec expecting every moment to be engulphe

u the water. Towering above the ves sel’s prow was the huge shadowy mass o: “ne monstrous iceberg. It extended serie 00 feet across the bows and three tall pin. uacles rose 60 or 70 feet. Should one « these ice steeples tropple over, the fate o. the ship and passengers would be sealed. Che crash of the collision and the rush o. che passengers to the deck had occupied but 4 minute. Captain Jones had not retired,. snd immediately rushed tothe bridge. His drst words were: ‘‘My God! Men, where were your eyes!” He was perfectly cool, and at once gave orders to back the engines; aud, calling all hands on deck, ordered the helm hard to the starboard. A _ few moments later we parted company with the iceberg, which floated away with its three tail pinnacles, distinctly visible against th: night sky. As it faded into the gloom ii presented the appearance of a phantom: three-masted vessel. Short as was the time occupied in this manceuvre, it offered an epportunity to estimate the damage sus- tained. ‘‘Arizona’s” bows were completely stove in, and a tangled mass of iron plates and stays was heaped up in frightful con- fusion where a few moments befere a shapely prow had cleft the waves. How great wa: the damage none could tell, but the welil- «xnown formation of icebergs left the worst to be feared. Had the collision bulkhead gene down in the awful crash! Had not some protruding spur rippped our bottom plates? These were questions on the answer to which depended

THE LIVES OF NEARLY 300 SOULS.

The geod ship seemed to give answer her- self, for as she backed from the terrible iceberg she listed to the starboard side and dipped visibly at the bows. ‘‘She’s sink- ing ; why don’t they get ready the boats ?” was anxiously whispered by the passengers, but to their credit no cry or movement was made which might embarrass the crew in their work. At this moment a rumor be- gan to circulate that several of the crew had been crushed in their bunks, and were buried beneath the mass of iron and ice which had been forced through the gap made by the collision. It was only too true. Three unfortunates, bruised and blevdy, were helped upon the deck, and their woebegone appearance did much to increase the terror of the situation. The feeling.that the ship was sinking caused several gentlemen “to request Mr. Pierre- pont Edwards, the British Vice Consul, to urge the captain to have the boats pre- pared. This he promised to do, and one beat was lowered after con siderable delay, during which the firs’ officers descended to make an eXaminatior of the fracture. When he returnec on beard it was announced that the steam- ship weuld lie te during the night. 4 thorough examination of the fore-hol

showed the ‘‘Arizena’ to be water tight This fact tranquilized the minds of th passengers and gradually they r- turned to the saloon. When they were all assembled the Rev. J. M. Ross

rose, and in a few feeling words suggested that prayers be offered God in thanks for the mercy he had so graciously shown. Hardly had the suggestion been uttered, when the assembled passengers knelt and joined in an appropriate prayer Then the hymn.

“PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS

was sung with an impressive earnestness that is seldom witnessed in cathedral aisles. Heartfelt sobs mingled with the chant, and tears stood in strong men’s eyes.

To the Editor of the Evanimer.

Sir,—-Bad management in Queen's County Jail, complained of respecting the eonduct of certain prisoners therein contiued, for singing and swearing, is recorded in the Police Book. I ask why was this, done and for what pur- pose? Was it to find fault with the hard- worked jailor or was it to impeach the charac- ter of the High Sheriff of Queen’s County for neglect of duty? If the recorder of this piece of impertinence and folly had taken the trouble te call at the Sherifi’s office and re- ported, it would have had a better effect. Why did not recorder arrest some of the Arabs spoken of outside, before making a avise like a jackal? Recorder had better sweep his own front-door clean before finding fault with other officers. °

Yours, &c.,' JAMES CURTIS, Deputy Sheriff.
