Says the Wilmington Commercial of last evening:
Mr. (kavln Thomson, of the llrm of Thomson &
Pascal, carriage manuiaciurers in tnis city, met
with a painful accident on Saturday evening, which
came near resulting seriously. He was fixing some
thing about his door-step after dark, and a man was
holding for him a common torch, such as is used in
political processions, by the light of which he was
wnrklnfr. Mr. Thomson directed tho man to lower
tbe torch a little, and in complying with the direc
tion it was upset, and a stream of blazing coal oil
no ti red on Mr. Thomson's head and shoulders, which
act lire to his clothes and hair. He ran to the hydrant
aud turned on the water to put his head under the
stream, but Instead of extinguishing the flames he
et fire to the fence adjoining the hydrant. Luckily
o relative at this moment came upon the scene, aud
wrapping his coat around the head and shoulders of
the lilaziuB man. smothered tho flames. Mr. Thom-
on waa pretty badly burned about the face, one of
ills earn especially, very much burned, but his Inju
ries, though painful, are not considered serious by

rrrorut Condition of tho Vrrnch Iron-Clad
FlccU
Ym Iht PtUl Matt (XutU.
In the building of ships of war the French have
made but little progress during the last twelve
months, anri there has been a very remarkable fait
lng off in the feverish activity which a few years
back rclirncd in their dockyard The marine au
thorities may think that what has been accomplished
warrants them In slackening speod, and looking
abont them before venturing any further. It is now
eight years ago that the French Government drew np
a naval programme kiiu setuuu wie numocroi vessels
which it deemed would be necessary to defend the
honor and Interests of the couutry. The fleet of the
future was to consist of forty first-class and
twenty second-class iron-clads, with thirty floating
batteries, coasters, despatch boata, wooden vessels
kiiu uanniorui, amounting in an W 44V snips. Al
mougn a good number or vessels have still to be
built before this programme Is completed, nearly
the whole attention of the French Admiralty has of
late been turned to the question of armament. Last
year a great, reduction in tnc number or gnns on
board various ships was made; for instance, the
Magenta, which carried llftv-twoiruns. had herarmn-
ment decreased to ten guns of !J4 centimetres (9-4
Inches), and a similar change was made In some of
me ingates anoau a good deal or uncertainty still
prevails as to the exact number of guns which the
various types of vessels should carry and the position
they should occupy, and hence It ha happened that
some ships have been armed, disarmed, and rearmed
three or four times since the day when the necessity of
getting heavy metal on board was recognized. It
may ne remarked nere that the French cl mr with
slngnlar obstinacy to their breech-loaders; they not
miiy cuimiiuu iu piacc mem on ooaru their vessels,
but their arsenals are still busy manufacturing them,
ami mis in spue oi me raei mat tne oreecn ma
chinery has been round defective, and unable to
stand the strain of heavy charges. There can be no
doubt that a good many breech-loaders have been
totally disabled during trials on board ship, and
that, in many Instances, great dlftlcnltv has
been experienced In charging the gun after the
firing of a few round. However, tho heads of
the department are either too enamored of their
system to perceive its defects, or else they are tin
willing to acknowledge to the country that the
80,0(H),(KM)f. voted for the rearming of the tleet have
been cast Into the sea. The French authorities of
course tried these guns before adopting them, but
me experiments were conducted under tne carerul
superintendence of the inventor, and they passed
muster. Still, it seems odd that the artillery com
mittee should have accepted a system now almost
universally condemned, as rar as neavy artillery Is
concerned, without subjecting it to the severest
tests.
Since we wrote an account of the French fleet
last year, the Ocean has been set afloat, and will soon
be ready for sea. This vessel is a little larger than
the Magenta, and will carry fourteen guns, thus dis
tributed : Four guns of twenty-seven centimetres
(lua Inches) aud two of twenty-four centimetres
(9'43 inches) in her central battery; four guns of
twenty-rour centimetres in the fixed turrets at eacn
comer or the battery, and on the upper deck four
bronze pieces of twelve centimetres. The guns con
tained In the turrets will be placed on movable
platforms, which will allow of each piece sweeping
a demicirclc, and this at an elevation of eight metres
and a half above the water-line. The Ocean will
have four sister ships the Frlcdland, Marengo,
Suffren, and Richelieu. The three first-named have
been for some time on the stocks, but the latter,
which will differ from the others In so far that It will
be propelled by two screws, lias only Just been de
signed. The next class has only two representatives,
the Magenta and Solferino. The former vessel,
which last year carried only ten guns of the calibre
indicated already, is now armed with fourteen guns,
ten guns in her central battery and four guns of 19
centimetres (70 Inches) on her upper deck. It is in
tended that the Solferino, which has as vet shipped
no heavy metal, shall be armed in the same nimmcr
The next is known In France as the Miurnanime
type, and the frigates of this class were nenrlv nil
armed last year with seventeen ciins: but this nrmn.
ment has now been reduced to twelve guns, eight 24
ccntimetre guns and four 19-centimetre guhs on the
upper deck. To this class belonir the Flamlra. (inn.
lolse, Guyenne, Provence, Revanche, Savole, Sur
velllunte, Valereuse. and Heroine. After these nw.
erf nl frigates come the Gloire. Invincible, Nonnandle,
and C'ouronne. The Gloire, when she was first
wumaicd auu nsromsneu tne navai worid. O.Tried no
fewer than thirty-two guns, but now her armament
ha been reduced to six M-centimetre guns In her

vaiin, and Heine Blanche have been
aunched. The Lagalissoniere still remains on tho
stoeks. The Thetis carries four 19-centimetre guns
in her central battery, two guns of the same calibre
in her turrets, aud fourl2-eentimctre bronze guns on
ueck. sne muKes from n to vi Knots unuer steam,
and is said to do well under canvas. The Bolli-
queuse, which has been for some years in the Pacific,
belongs to the Thetis type, but she has no turrets.
The corvettes had at first four turrets, like the largo
frigates, but tho weight was too much, and they had
to be reduced to two ;' they are also armed with a
spur weighing about twenty tons.

the name of the Kochanibeau, late Dunderberg,
which an expenditure of 2,000,000 francs laid out in
repairs and alterations has made perhaps the most
formidable vessel in tho French navy. She has been
furnished with engines of litoo nominal horse power
and carries lirteeu guns of the largest calibre; it Is
true that she does not Inspire much confidence as a
Bea-going vessel, and tnat sne is Kept laiu up at
Cherbourg. A writer in the Remit. Contemporaine
suggests that no admiral would assume wie re
sponsibility of allowing her to join his squadron,
and the charge long ago made, that Is reiterated,
that the Hochambeau is built of bad timber, and
would soon shake herself to pieces; but borings
made In her liottom have dispelled all appre
hension on this head, and the Rochainbeau
is probably only billing her time. The

The batteries carry from four to eighteen guns, but
their armament cannot be regarded as permanently

eleven floating batteries, constructed so as to be

A Convict Killed.
Yesterday morning a colored prisoner at the work
house or the Washington Asylum, D. C, named
Richard Catlett, while endeavoring to escape, was
killed by W. A. Carroll, a colored man, employed as
an overseer. It appears that at the present time
there are confined in the workhouse or penitentiary
department of the institution quite an unruly set of
persons, and several attcmpta to escape have been
recently made, some of them successful; and. In
consequence, the Intendant and his officers have nail
awatchrul eye over the prisoners. This morning,
Carroll had in charge about a dozen of the prisoners,
who were about to remove three dead bodies from
the dead-house, about fifty feet north of the building,
aud Just as they had reached the front of the house
they commenced to scatter ; one of them, a white
man, name not ascertained, running through the
fate and making good his escape, Mr. Martin, the
ntendent, firing a shot at him as he passed out.
Catlett, Instead of running off directly, picked up a
stone and hurled it at Carroll, and then started to run
northward from the building, and Carroll tired two
shots at hltn, the first, it is said, being above his
head, biit the second one struck him when he had
passed over a fence, about fifty or Bixty feet distant,
bringing him down. This had the effect of quieting
the others, and Catlett being picked up was found to
be alive, but died in about fifteen minutes.

Senator Ross made a personal explanation to

when the President remarked that any man who
had served for the last year and a half under
Andrew Johnson was not a Republican, and

the president accounts for the indiscriminate

SYMPTOMS :
1. A Constant Pain or Uneasiness in tho Pit of
the Stomach, whfch is caused by a permanent
contraction of the stomach upon undigested food.
It generally begins immediately or a short time
after eating; Is generally very severe and obsti
nate. 2. Flatulence and Acidity. Thoso symptoms
arise from the indigostion of food, which fer
ments, instead of digesting.
3. Costivcness and Loss of Appetite These
symptoms are the effects of tho unnatural con
dition of the food in the stomach, and the want
of pure bile and gastric juice. The stomach Is
often painfully distended by wind; the appetite
is sometimes voracious.
4. Gloom and Depression of Spirits. This
state unfits many for the enjoyment of fife, and
is caused by the impure blood furnished by im
perfect digestion. Iu this stage of the disease
many persons commit suicide. There is a con
stant foreboding of evil, and an indifference and '
positive inability to perform the offlees of life.
5. Diarrhoea. After being at Irst costive, tho
sufferer is afflicted with diarrhoea, which it
owing to a 'diseased condition of the bowels pro
duced by the undigested food, ' which is evacu
ated in the same condition os when eaten, and of
course gives no strength to the system.
6. Pains in all Parts of the System-Arise
from the action of impure blood upon the nerves
They are felt chiefly In the head, sides, and
breast, and in the extremifies. In many case
there is an uneasiness in the throat, with a sense
of choking or suffocation; the mouth is oftca
clammy, with a bad taste and furred tongue.
7. Consumptive Symptoms and Palpitation of
the Heart. Many persons pronounced as having
these diseases have, In fact, nothing but Dys
pepsia, the lung and heart disease being only
symptoms. . .
8. Cough. This is a very frequent symptom
of Dyspepsia, and leada very often into con
firmed Consumption.
9. Want of 81eep.-A very distressing symp
tom, resulting often in mental derangement.
10. Symptoms of External Relation.The
patient is affected painfully by cold ond heat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness of skin, ond
the skin is often offected by eruptions ond tet
ters. The gloomy dyspeptic ovoids society os
much os possible..
