THE GREAT BARBIER TRAGEDY.

Moa'rs fit odors and Spsggon appett to bo somewhat unfortunate in respect to their lo ing their vessels by master* running away with hero. It may be in the remembrance of a number of our (New Zealand Herald) readers that about 18 years ago ain n named Harry Hill hid charge of a small vessel named the Jubilee, which was kept employed In the trade between here, Gisborne and Napier, Suddenly th« vessel and Hill were rais ing, and nothing was heard of either f..r some years, until about ten years ago, when Hill was seen and spoken to by some Aucklanders in Dublin. Hill, it is said, admitted having runaway with the Jubileo I bat what was done with the vessel was not stated. Messrs Henderson and Sprag gou were the owners of that vessel, as they are of the cutter Sovereign of the Sea, now missing. Respecting ihe latter vessel, i 1 may be mentioned that, not only is she a smart little craft, but her owners ■ went to considerable expense a short time before the last annual regatta in putting her in complete order. Her hull was thoroughly overhauled, and she had new r riggings and sails supplied to her as it was the ambition of Messrs Henderson and Spraggon that she should prove the winner of the big cutter race, so that the cutter is now In good fettle to make a voyage to, it may be said, any part of the world.

THE COST OF STRIKES.

Strikes are sn expensive mode of sett ling labor dispute—especially for the strikers. A New York financial journal computes the loss, In wages alone. during the recent strike* In America, at 2,800.000 dol. The lobs falls upon the discontented workmen; but the whole American community is made to share in their mis fortunes. The loss owing to delayed and cancelled contracts is estimated at two and a-half millions, and it is said that five-and-twenty millions' worth of new business hatrbeen refused, owing to the timidity and uncertainty which at present weigh upon the employing classes. Capital is the most sensitive of organisms, and a very slight chill withers its erowth. and with it the whole prosperity of a nation. It taken a very long time to build up the mutual confidence and sense of security on which credit is founded ; and any unscrupulous politician and headstrong demagogue can do something tcwudi shattering it.

A MODERN HERO

We regret to hear that the Apostle of the Lepers of Mnlonai is beginning to pay the penalty of his heroism Shut away fom nil civilised ard healthy humanity. Father has foi j©:>rs been a willing prisoner in the island, in which are collected a'd confined the lepers of all the neighboring Sandwich group. Fur a long time, though cut off from the outward world, Father Damen continued in good health, though alone among the dead. But the stroke has fallen at last. In a letter written re cently he said : —lmpossible for me to go any more to Honolulu, on account of the leprosy breaking out on me. The microbes have finally settled themselves In my left leg and my ear, and one eyebrow begins to fall. I expect to have my face soon disfigured Haviug no doubt myself of the true character of my disease, I feel calm, resigned, and happier among my people. Almighty God knows what is best for my sanctification ; and with that conviction I say daily a good Fiat voluntas tua.” Where is the heroism which will vie with this I—Tablet,
