A BURIED TORPEDO.
II Discovery off Vharlmlon,8.C
Nine Skeleton at the Wlierl.
A DEAD CAPTAIN WITn A CANDLE IN
1118 HAND RKMAKKAflLE CAREER
OP A REMARKA11LE CRAFT.
Thoso who wcro on Morris iHlnnd,
S. C, in tbo winter of 1804, cngnirnd
in the niego of Tliarlchton, Lave not
forgotten tlio dcetraclion of the sloam
gun-boat llouutonio. She was struck
at licr anchorage in tho outer harbor,
by a torpedo, on tho night of tho 17th
of February, and comiilutclydostroycd,
with three of hor crew. Tho bottom
wng blown out of her, and alio sank in
twenty-eight futboms Of water. Tho
torpedo was attached to a small cigar-
ohapod boat, which was bcoo to np
proath, but could not bo kept ofl".
What became of tho liltla boat wasdil nt his post, a candle in one hand,
not known at tho time, and its fnto
was a mystery until recontly. The
following article, gives its history, and
what befol it and its bravo crow jn
their attack on tho Housatonic:
In 1 Si; I, says the Ilr.ustnn Tilryrtiph,
tho fleet of Admiral Furiagnt wa
blockading Mobilo, while a heavy land
and naval attack was directed agaiiisl
Charleston. During our long defen
sive war a great deal of ingenuity had
been expended by tho Confederates
upon torpodocs anil torpodo boats.
Tho most remarkablo of theso boats
was constructed in Mobilo, by Me..
Hundley & Mct'lintock, and luunehed
in lstil ; and nothing which has gone
down into tho sea was more wonder
fully or more feurfully contrived to
wreak destruction and vengenneo up
on friend and foe. Sho was built of
boiler iron, and impervious lo waleror
air. Hor extreme length was about
thirty feet, with five or six feet beam.
and about five or six feet depth of
hold. In general contour sho rcsem
bled a cigar, sharped at both ends.
Sho wns propelled by a screw, the
shaft of which ran horizontally along
her hold, almost from stem to storn,
and was turned by the manual force
of eight men, seated along it on either
sido. Tho only hatchway was circu
lar, about two feet in diameter, with a
low combing around it, which was
placed well lorward, and when desired
could bo closed by an iron cap work
ing on hinges and made air-tight. Ja
tho forward part of tho cap was in
serted a clear glass bull's eye, through
which tho pilot could soo. Sho was
provided with water-tight compart
ments, by filling or emptying which
sho could sink or rise, and lo enublo
her to riso instantly her ballasting of
railroad iron wns placed on her bot
tom, outsido of her hull, and by means
of keys accessible to her crew could
be delocheu in a moment, so that sho
could riso quickly to the surface
Iicsidcs her rudder, w hich was ol the
UMinl form, this vessel was equipped
with sido paddles or fins, which, like
thoso of a fish, served to cuido it up
or down with reforonco to tho surface
of tho wnter.
To prepare for'oclion, a floating
torpedo w as secured lo her stern by a
lino more than ono hundred feet long,
and her crew having embarked, the
tanks wcro filled until tho boat was
in equilibria, and almost submerged.
Tbo hatchway wns closed, Iho men
revolved the shaft, tho captain or pilot,
standing under tho hatch, steered tlio
boat, regulating at tho samo time, bv
tho action of her lateral fins, the depth
at w hich sho would move. Tho great
est speed did not exceed four knots.
Sho could remain submerged for half
nn hour or an hour without any grMil
inconvetiienco to hercrcw aiidontne
occasion has been known to remain
under water two hours without setial
injury to them, although no means
were provided lor procuring fresh air,
and from tho moment tho hutch was
closed tho men, thus fastened in their
living tomb, inhaled and exhaled con
tinuously tho stmosphcro which was
enclosed with them. Tho plan of at
tack proposed by Iho inventors wns
to divo beneath the keel of an enemy's
ship, hauling the torpedo after her.
Its triggers or sensitive primers would
thus press against the ship's bottom,
explode Iho torpedo, and inevituMy
sink Iho ship.
Aot anticipating an enrly opportu
nity of using this dangerous vosel
nirainst Iho fleet of l iirniiMil, General
Maury sent her by rail to (veneral
Iteatiirgard at Charleston, believing
tho waters of that harbor bolter sailed
to her peculiar construction, while in
tho Ironsides or somo other gigantic
war ship then attacking Charleston,
might bo found an object worth the

changed the arrangement of tho tor
pedo by fastening it lo tho bow. Its
front wns terminated by a sharp and
barbed Innce-licud, so that when the
boat wns driven on end against a
ship's sides, tho liinco bend would be
forced deep into tlio ti inborn, below
the wator-lino, nml would fasten the
torpedo firmly against tho ship. Then

Virginian, und eight nuiloi'8. They
w cro soon ready fur action, and on Ihe
evoninir set fur their expedition, tho
last preparation lind been inude.
The torpedo boat was lying along
side tho steamer from whieh tho crew
had embarked ; sho was submerged
till tho coming of her hatch alono was
visible ahovo w ater. Her commander,
I'ayne, was standing in tho hatchway,
in iho act of ordering her to bo cast
ofT, when tho swell of'a passing stcamor
rolled over her and sunk her instantly,
wtlh her eight men, in several fathoms
of water. Lieut. J'ayno sprang out
of tho hatchway as tlio boat sank from
under dim, nnd bo alono was left alivo.
In a few duys sho was raised nnd
again mado ready fur service. Again
I'ayno volunteered, and eight men
with him.
Their embarkation for their second
attempt was mado from Fort Sumter,
and, as beforo, all having boon made
ready, l ayno, Btanding at his post in
tho hatchway, ordered tho hawser to
be cut off when tho bont careened
and sank instantly. I'ayno sprang
out; two of tho men followed liim :
tho other six went down in 'tho boat
and perished.
Again tlio boat wns raised and made
-endy for action, and her owner, Cap
tain Hundley, took her for an oxpori
nenlal trip into tho Ptonc rivor,wherc,
aftor going through her usual evolu
tions, sho dived in deep water, and
tr hours, and for days, the return of
ioor Hundley and his trow, was
vntched for and looked for in vuin.
After near a week's search sho waB
found inclining at nn angle of forty
degrees; her nor.zlo was driven deep
into tho soil mud of the bottom. Hor
crow of nino dead men wcro standing,
sitting and lying uhout in her bold
anpliyxinlcd
Hundley was standing
whilo tho other had grown (tiff with
death in his vnin efforts to unclamp
tho hatch. Others bad been working
at tho keys of tho ballast, but tho in
clination at which tho boat hail gone
down bad jammed tho keys so that
tho men could not cast off tho heavy
weight which held them down. Their
deaths had been bard and lingering.
Again this fateful vessel wns made
ready lor oclion, and volunteers being
called for, Lieutenant Dixon, "1st Al
aliama Volunteers, a native of Mobile,
nnd eight men volunteered to take
her aguinst tho enemy. Tho now and
powerful war ship Housntonic was
selected for attack, and on a quiet
night the bravest crow set out from
Charleston in this lerriblo nameless
torpedo boat thai ever manned a craft
heforo. W'o all know the falo of the
Housntonic. l!iavo Dixon guided tho
torpedo fairly ngttinst her, tho explo
sion lore up tho great warship's sides,
so that sho went down with nearly nil
her crew within two minutes. The
torpedo vessel also disappeared for
ever from mortal view. Whether sho
went dow n with her enemy, or w both
er she drifted out to sea to bury her
gallant dend, wns never known, und
their fato was left till tho great day
when tho sea shull givo tip its dead.
Dut within a few weeks past divers
in submarine armor havo visited tho
wreck of Iho Housatonic, and they
hnvo found Iho liltld torpedo vessel
lying by her hugo victim, and within
her uro tho bones of the most devoted
and daring men who ever went to

SrEAK Kindly to Him. A farmer
onco saved a very poor noy irom
drowning. After his restoration be
said tn him :
"What can I do for you, my boy 1"
"Speak fl kind word to mo somo-
timo," replied tho boy, as tbo tears
started from bis eyes. "I ain't cot
a mother liko some of them."
A nin irord Think of It. Thnt
farmer had in it his power to give
thnt boy money, clothes, and play
things, hut the poor little lei low craved
nothing so much as a kind word now
and then. If tho farmer had ever so
lilllo heart, the boy must certainly
have had bis wish granted.
A kiml word! You hnvo many such
spoken to you daily, and you don't
think much of thoir value; but that
jcior boy in your village, at whom
everybody laughs, would think ho bad
found K treasure if somo ono would
speak ono kind word lo him. Suppose
you speak it, tho next timo you meet
him. Instead of laughing at him,
speak kindly to him. Then watch
him and seo how he looks. Seo if his
syes do not brighten and his lips
smilo. Try it.
Kind words! Tbey aro blessed
things. Speak them, children, every
day. Senlter them liko sunbeams
everywhere. They will bless others,
and they return lo bless your own
hcarls. Kind words forever!

The Marringo Relation.
BY JOKII IIII.l.lMjS.
iiinrriago is a lair transaction on
tho fneo of it.
Hut thero is qnito too often put up
JOM III It,.
It is an old institution, older than
the pyramids, and as full of hierogly
pines thai nobody can pnrso. History
holds its tongue who tho pair was
that first put on tho silken harness,
and promised to work kind in it. thro'
thick nnd thin ap bill nnd down, and
on tho level, rain or shine, survivo or
perihh, drownd or lloat.
lint whoever they was, they must
hnvo mado a good thing out of it, or
so many of their posterity would not
hnvo barnosscd .tip sinco and drove
out.
Thero is a great moral grip to mnr-
riugo; it is tho mortar that holds the
social brick together.
Iiut thero ain't but few folks who
put their money in matrimony, who
could set down and givo n good writ
ten opinion why on earth they cum to
do it.
This is a great proof that it is one
of them natural kinds of accidents that
must happen, just ns birds fly out of
tho nest when ther hnvo feathers
enough, without being ablo to toll
why.
Sum marry for beaut v. and never
discover their mistake. This is luck v.
Sum marry for money, nnd don't
seo it.
Sum marry for pediareo, and feel
big lor six months, and then very
sensibly come to tho conclusion thnt
pedigree uiu'l no better than skim
milk.
Sum marry bceauso they have beon
highsted sumwhero else; this is a
cross match a bay and a sorrel;
prido may make it cndurablo.
Sum marry lor lovo, w ithout a cent
in their pocket, nor a friend in the
world, nor a drop ot pedigreo. lh:s
looks desperate, but it is the ttrr.nnth
nf the gamf.
It marrying for lovo mn t a succoss,
then matrimony Is a dead beat.
Sum marry bceauso they think wo
men will bo sonrce next year, and live
to wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum marry to get rid of themselves
and discover the gnmo was ono two
could play at, and neither win.
cum marry tho second timo to get
even, and tinu it a gambling ganio
tho more they put dowu tho less they
tako up.
Sum marry to bo happy, nnd not
finding it, wonder w heio all tho hap
piness goes to when it dies.
Sum mnrrv, iney can t tell why,
nnd live, they can't tell how.
Almost everybody gets married, and
it is a good jko.
Sum marry in hasto, nnd then set
down nnd ihink il carefully over.
Sum think it carolully over ursl,
nnd then set down.
lloth ways nro right if they hit the
mark.
Sum marry rakes, to convert thcin.
This is a little risky, nnd takes a
smart missionary to do it.
Sum marry couqnetts. J Ins is liko
buying a poor farm, heavily mort
gaged, and working tho balance ol
your days to elenr off tho mortgages.
.Married lilo bus its chnnccs, and
this is just what gives it its flavor.
Everybody loves to lool Willi chances,
bceauso everybody expects lo win.
I' ut 1 am authorized lo stnto that
everybody don't win.
Iiut, after all, married life is full as
certain ns tho dry goods business.
Nomancnn swenr exactly whero
ho will fetch up w hen ho touches cal
ico. No mnn can tell just w hat calico
has mndo up its mind to do next.
Calico don't know even herself.
Dry goods of all kinds is the child of
circumstances.
Sum never marry, but this is just as
risky; tho diseaso is tho samo with
another nnme with it.
The mnn who stands on tho banks
shivering nnd dassnnt, is inoro apt to
catch cold than him who pilches head
fust into tho river.
T here nro but few who never marry
bceauso the) irnn'f they all hanker,
and most of them sturvo with bread
before them, spread on both sides, just
for tho lack of grit.
M,irry youn;;, is my motto.
I havo tried it and I know what 1
am talking about.
If anybody asks yon why you got
married, (if needs bo,) tell dim you
don't recollect.
Mnrriago is a safe way to gamble
if you w in a pilo ; nnd it you losoyou
don't lose anything, only tho privilege
of living dismally alone, nnd soaking
your own feet.
I repeat it, nwry ynvny.
Thero is but ono good excuse for a
mnrriago Into in lilo a second rmir
rinje.
Mrs. Partington snys sho did not
marry her second husband because
sho loved tho malo sex, but because
ho was just tho sir.o of her first hus
band, nnd could wear out his old
clothes.
Thero is this difference between
happiness nnd wisdom: 11c that thinks
himself tho happiest man, renlly Is so;
but he that thinks himself tho wisest,
is generally the greatest fool.
If yon wish success in life, make per
severance your bosom friend, experi
ence your wiso counsellor, caution
your elder brother, ftnd hopo your
guardian genius.

"How's That for High?"
Brick Pomcroy, in his Democrat,
thus explains tho paternity of the
above popular interrogation. In an
swer lo u correspondent, Pomcroy
says:
Jlenry , ard Jieeclior is tho nullmr
of tho sentence, w hich has beeomo so
wpulitr. At tho time of tho Clevo
und Convention, in 1S04. when John
Cochran was by certain diHiiflucteil
Itepublicans nominated for the Presi-
dency, Henry Ward lieechor, the
author of the phrase, "It's most d d
hot," was nt,tho Spaulding Houso,
Binghampton,, New Vork. While
thero wuiting ,for tho train to bear
u:tii wesi, no oceanic, acquainted with
a few gentlemen, among them a con
ductor of tho F.rie Kaiiroad, named
C O. Graves, who wns a strong lio
publican, n great admirer of lioocher,
und a member ol tlio samo church.
To w hilo away tho timo beforo the
train which was to bear them west
ward should arrive, it was doeincd
best to seek a lilllo quiet amusoment
in a privato parlor, by indulging in
tho popular gamo of ''seven up," or
"old sledge."
To this gnmo Mr. Becchcr mado no
objections, etuting thnt ho played all
such games as checkers, back gam-
nton, ciiess euenro, whist, etc . etc..
at homo with his family, and Ihnt ho
considered it no harm 'to seek such
amusement when travelling, or even
to carry with him a pack of cards or
a box of chessmen, as ho generally
did.
Graves and Beccher were partners,
the parly playing for iho lenionudo.
On a four-handed gnmo Graves nnd
Beccher wero stuck, and "sawed"' to
seo w ho should pay for the lemonade.
They played a single gamo to decide
tho mutter. At last it stixxl, Beccher
six, and Graves fivo, with his deal.
by accident or design Graves turned
Ihe jack ol'hearw, which put him six.
It was then a question who had the
highest card to go out. Beccher looked
at his hand, found nothing in thero of
note, nnd ho lad down tho douco on
tho table with tho remark :
'I give you your Jack; thnt puts
us six npicco. Hero is tho dcuco ;
how's Hint for high f"
Iho remark was so oriirinal. and
tho joko so good, that everybody
laughed, and (i raves ordered in the
bevcragos. Tbo story was told first
to ono conductor and then lo another
along the road, and, nt lust ran over
tho country, till now nearly every ono
uses thut us a slung phrase which has
become as popular as "You bet," "Bed

County in which I'o murders worn
committed, having heard that tho
tiloodtlnts'y sen Inl wns lounging
a!n ut this city, arrived here yesterday
morning In quest of him." Sheriff
Brown being known to Travis, depu
tised Captain Skiles, oflleer lit the
Chattanooga, depot, to mako the ar
rest. "At ilO o'clock in tho afternoon
Captain Skiles discovered Travis on
Church street, opposite the old Acade
my building, looking intently nt a 'fly
ing,' in an open space on tho south
side, of that thoroughfare. Having
already been informed of Travis' des
perate deeds, Captain Skiles look every
percaution not to allow llio rascal to
get the advantage of him, and not to
urouso any suspicion in Travis' mind
until he should gel near enough to lay
hold of him. Captain Skiles accord
ingly walked up in tho direction of
the spot w hero Travis was slunding.
Travis became unensy nt his approach,
hut mado no mot ion to depart. W beri
Captain Skiles had roached him ho
caught him by tho collar and told him
lie was his prisoner. At that moment
TrnviB jerked out a Colt's revolver
and shot at Captain Skilos, grazing
his right hand. Captain Skiles broko
Ins mace over Ira via head, which
caused Travis to drop his pistol.
They llien had a desperate struggle
for tho mastery, ending in both being
thrown to tho ground, Travis falling
on his pistol. In tho sculllo Travis
again secured his pistol. At tins'
juncture Captain Skiles snapped a
Derringer at him. The negro then
shot nt Skiles, tho bali taking Orrt sr
piece of tho Jutter's ear. Captain
Skiles now drew lorlh a small Smith
A- Wesson pitol and shot Travis in
the neck, after which tlio latter gavo
himself up, nnd was conveyed lo tho
Chattanooga depot, from whence ho
was takon lo Atlanta by tho Sheriff,
manacled and handcuffed, on the 6:30
P. M. train.
"It is believed that Travis' wound
may prove falul. Gov. Bullock, sub
sequent to the committal of tho dread
ful murders mentioned, offered 1,000

adding 53,000 more. Whatever may
bo tho reward, Capt. Skiles certainly
deserves not only lo bo commended
for his bravery, but to share in the

What is a Darling 7
A New Lngland lady requested1
"Brick" Pomcroy 's definition of What
is a Darling ? How bnndsomo 'Brick'
has responded, tho truthfulness of tho
exquisite pen picturo whieh follows
will attest :
If our definition will pleaso any
ono, or settle n point in di-puto it is
given cheerfully. A Darling, as wo
should speak tlio word would bo a
very dear good, heart loved girl or
woman, who held tho innermost place
in onr heart. Sho would be a woman
loved above all clso jn tho world a,
womnn wo should defend before n'f
mankind a xvomun whoso lips wora
Ihose of truth and sac-redness whoso
happiness a man conld livo for a
woman a man could bo proud of a
woman you could put your arm in en
lloness nround, draw lo your heart,'
firess a kiss to her forchead.andono to
icr lips, nnd as her head hall rested on
your shoulder, look deep into her eyes'
and whisper Darling 1 She would bo
a woman in whom wo had all tho con
fidence in tho world ono a man
would bo proud to mako happy and
w hoso prido would bo in her hus
band's success, happiness nnd reputa- .
lion ; her own good namo.her person,
her friendships, her house, nnd tho
purity ofour heart. "Darling" means
everything words unspoken cares
ses ripening for lovo lo feed on vol
umes unwritten kind action waiting
opportunities hopo expressed faith
untold for want of suitable words it
is tho flower which beautifies ; tho treo'
that bears tho most delicious fruit in
season. Tho word is a volume. It
means more- than one can express ;
Iho clasping of tho spirit hands of
love in heart worship of tho trno end
good ; tho rainbow which spans the
sky of hope and life; tho bursting of
tho bud of tho most beautiful flower,
whieh sheds a perfume over the hoarts
of those w ho love.
We have answered our corrosp'on-'
dent hastily, not full, for tho word is'
a text for un endless sermon, and
should only apply to a sweet heart or
wifo. Il is a different word a longer
word a inoro meaning word than
Pet, though often used in its place.
Drfss. John G. Saxo, the w it and
poet, has como to tho rescue of Iho
ladies who delight in rich and becom
ing dress, lie says : Wo have plonly
of flippant denunciations of fine clothes'
nnd an abundance of gravo animad
versions of the sin nnd lolly of extrsv
agnnco in apparel, but scarcely an
essay can bo founl touching tho
aesthetics and vnitl of dress, as con
stituting a study worthy to bo ranked
among tho Una arts, not less than ar
chitecture, music and sculpture. It
was an ols-rvation of l.avuter that
persons habitually attentivo to dress,
display tbo samo regularity in their
domestic affairs. '-Young women,"
says he, "who neglect their toilet, and
nianifest little concern about their ap-
parol, indicate, in Itiis very particular,
a disregard of order ; a mind but little
adapted to the details of housekeep
