?. ■ • ■ ureat events arc often. useful in teaching
BW*P\T ' and a little history. It is so with
this expedition, Not a lew have never heard
vfOte islands of St, Pierre and Miquelon, and
-htiß.'-sfetßrer.' Know where this archipelago is
Situated, ovhat its history is, and what are its
advantages. If any ofoitr renders take up, a
- chart :of the coast of Newfoundland
they.. will find on the south three islands
known as Great Miquelon.Little Miquelon,or
Langly,anil St. Pierre. These are barren rocks,
valuable only as a refuge far French fisher
men, and as giving France a title to the sur
rounding fisheries, which are extremely im
portant. The entire area of St. Pierre and
French Miquelon is about 100 square miles,
and the permanent, population perhaps 2,000
souls. Their exports, annually, are about
■ •, 8,000,000 francs, according to ofiicial estima
, ' tionvhutthe actual value is at least double
that. The articles imported arc whale oil,cod
fish oil and codfish. ’Pin: imports were, in
1859, ttboiit 8,000(000 actual value., In 1860, the
imports were of tlie value of 0,880,108 francs,
or 5£155,204; for that year the exports were
C,826,014 francs, or £210,040. In 1804 the im
ports were 3,602,784 francs, or .£145.311;. the
imports were 7,608,320, or .£005,533. These be- •
ingofficialfigures maybe regarded asamder
ratherfhan above the actual value.
. Tlie position of Great Miquelon, the most
' northerlv of the group, is in latitude 47 degrees
4 minutes north, and m longitude 56 degrees
and 20 minutes west of Greenwich. Then, im
mediately south of this, are Little Miquelon
and its consort, St,. Pierre. The history. of
• ‘ these islands—St. Pierre and French Mi
,h> quelon—is remarkable. They are all that re
, ' mains of the vast possessions which France
once owned in Northern America. Even
when ht the peace of Utrecht; Newfoundland
was yielded to Queen Anne, these isles were
retained, as at the peace of Paris in 1763, they
were confirmed to France.
THE AMERICAN TERMINUS.
~ * The American terminus will be at Bouse’s
\ Hummock, in the town of Duxbury, Moss.
‘ This is situated near the Giunet light, at the
entrance of Plymouth Harbor. It is not quite
two miles from the village, but to reach it re
quires a jaunt of six miles round the beach.
The hummock is a conical-shaped hill of about
thirty or forty acres in area. The Legislature
' of Massachusetts have granted a charter to au
■“Ocean Telegraph Company,” who will carry
a line out beyond the .jurisdiction of the
United States, and then make a splice with the :
Frenoh cable; thus, any trouble which might
have been caused by Hoar’s absurd letter will
be avoided. The main otlice will be in the
old Bank building at Duxbury. An indepen
dent land line win extend from this to Boston.
Formerly, Duxbury was one of the first ship
building towns in Massachusetts. In 1837 a
severe blow was received during the panic,
and six years subsequently, the large cliiiper
trade baling commenced, and suitable timber
not being found in Duxbury, the builders re
moved to Boston and Medford. The office in
Duxbury will be in charge of M. J. Gaines,
formerly United States Consul-General at
Tripoli, but since employed in the telegraph
service of the Mediterranean. He -will he
aided by a body of twelve electricians.
ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
A Tug Strikes a Rock In tbe Niagara
River, and Takes Tire—Narrow Escape
of a Party of Excursionists.
I Freni tho Buffalo Courier, July 7. J
Monday morning the tug Mildred steamed
down Niagara KiVer to White’s Island with a
party ot ladies and gentlemen, some twenty :
five or thirty in number, who thought that es
caping from the confusion incident to the cel
ebration hero was the surest way to a brief
season of pleasure. The day was spept pleas
antly on the island. It was quite advanced in
tha afternoon when they started to return, hut
nothing occurred to mar tbe pleasure of the
excursionists till about 5 o’clock, when reach
ing a point on the American side, a short dis
tance above the International dock, the tug
ran upon a rock with great violence. The
shock was so rude that every one of the' pas
sengers was precipitated upon tlie deck, and
the boat careened so that a torrent of water
poured over the starboard side. Tbe ladies
and gentlemen bad scarcely recovered their
positions before it was discovered that tho boat
was on fire, in the engine-room. The scene
was an exciting one for a minute or two, but
tbe ladies soon became self-possessed, and the
gentlemen set to work to ascertain their duty
in the premises. Tlie five bad got to work iii
good earnest, but by tbe energetic use of two
pails, tbe only weapons of defence on hoard,
the flames were kept from wrapping tlie deck
in their embrace. The tug was worked oft' the
rock in a very short time, and the captain, see
ing there was danger of the litter destruction
of the boat, determined to run her round the
pier on to the American shore. This was ob
jected to by the gentlemen, and Mr. Hiram
Smith taking the wheel in his hands, and
knowing that there was seventy pounds o
steam left to work ■with,ran the boat across the
river, till he brought her up alongside
tlie International dock. The. pas
sengers were removed from the
tug as soon as possible, and the crew of the
International ferry-boat came promptly to the
assistance of the consuming tug. In about
fifteen minutes tlie flames were completely
subdued and tbe boat saved from total destruc
tion, albeit her interior, in the vicinity of lier
boiler, must be badly charred. Tlie escape
from a terrible catastrophe was certainly a nar
row one, and all on hoard the boat have reason
to be thankful for their timely release from the
peril which threatened them.
The excursionists were conveyed to this city
by tbe Grand Trunk Bail way, tree of charge,
and most of them, we opine, will rememiier
tlie accident attending their observance of the

The Tribune publishes the following letter
from a prominent and influential citizen of
Kova .Scotia:
THE QUESTIONS OF INDEPENDENCE AND AN-
NKXATION
I have followed with inucli sympathy and
interest, your efforts to arouse the people of
the Dominion upon the question of independ
ence. All classes ot intelligent public men ac
knowledge it to he inevitable. Those who are
well informed say that the motive which urged
the late Conservative Administration in Eng
land. to shut its ears to the earnest protest of
Nova Scotia against the Union, was the strong
conviction of the need of subordinating
all other questions to the great necessity of re
lieving Old England from the probable conse
quences of a continuance of her colonial rela
' tions in British iNorth America, with this in
view, the present and late Administration,
each responsive to a public opinion it could
not ignore, have been quick to initiate and de
velop such public works and interests as our
/'prospective independence makes essential;
tSnerice, whether \ve desire it or not.it seems
in that we must soon accept the re
m sponsibilities of an independent nation,
if. Thus far, 1 think, no well-informed Ca
lf nadiau will honestly join issue with me.
>y* Next comes the question, What shall we do ?
and upon this men divide. Wo have a small
'■f but active body of men familiar with the ins
|b|aiid outs of Canadian politics, who believe in
I , fhe possibility of reproducing here a govern
|V merit of King, Lords. and Commons. They
Pi- know this can "only be done by firsfeemeiitiug
|£ : the parts of which the Dominion is comnosed;
■f next by lulling the public mind, so tliat the
f‘ change may he effected when their plans have
! ripened under a line and cry of loyalty and
9enthusiasm for some scions of the ltoyal
i family. • Their theory is that of the established
'visage at home, viz., that Parliament can do
X ' mijth inr/. .To consult the people they regard
\ as a new-fangled Americanism, and essen-
I tiall.v anti-British. Tims, if they are per

ADKI.IKA PATTI. 1
Her BeportedjDftinbtlc Difficulties--
False Stories.
A Londqii letter-writer says:
Everybody knows',' who knows anything,
that riunor’s.tongue, at no time very ' reliable,
is never so imaginative as when dealing with
persons'vibo follow the stage' t ftsA profession.
Of courseso charming and popular an artist
as Adelina JPatti could not be' expected to
escape without a full share of the attention.of
scandal mongers and , other wise'; tattlers',
and all sorts .of report have . been
nut afloat •concerning the domestic
life bf this gifted and' favorite,
lady./ The burden of them all is the terrible
, misfortune of her marriage with the Marquis
de Caux, who has Been described as h' very
ogre—a desperate gambler and ruffian, who
has seized.upon his wife’s earnings as'soon as
they have been realized, and who has even
stripped her of the splendid gifts Emperors
have '-laid at her -feet; for' the 1 purpose of
gratifying his insatiate passion for play. Ac
cording to one story poor little Patti
has been compelled to submit* heart
broken, t 0.., the brutality /of de
Caux, under penalty of a severe beating at
night, after she has finished her sweet warb
lings at the opera or concert. According "to
another, she lias been firm enough to resist the
demands of her tyrant, and has actually “com
menced a suit, you know,” in the '.french
courts for the separate control ofher property.
All this time “poor little Patti” has been look
ing as plump as a partridge and as happy as a
lark, and has been singing as sweetly as a
dozen nightingales concentrated into one.
Now, the truth of the matter is, that the Mar
quis de Caux is a perfect gentleman, devotedly
attached to his wife, and that the couple, to
carry out the feathery simile, live to
gether like two turtle doves. The Marquis has
been a devotee of the turf in years gone by,
and, like many other young men at the French
Court, has sjieut a great deal of money. One
of his estates oil " the Seine is nnequaled in
beauty bv any place of a similar description iu
Prance, but it passed temporarily out of his
hands through peculiar embarrassments -long
before liis marriage, and Patti has set her
heart upon recovering and possessing it, no
doubt calculating on spending the greater por
tion of her days there after her retirement
from the stage. The Marquis, so far from
gambling, lives as quietly ana economically as
possible, and aids lier in every way in the ac
complishment of the object ot‘ber'heart.
CITY BULLETIN.
False Prophets. —Saturday, the 10th iust.,
was set apart by some fanatics for the des
truction of the world, but like many other pre
dictions, time has proven it to be false. The
modern disciples of Aliab every now and then
venture a prophecy of the dissolution of the
great globe itself, with its cloud-capped towers
and gorgeous palaces, but in fixing the precise
period is where they never fail to make a mis
take. Fortunately dor society, the great mass
of people have more learning now than their
predecessors had; therefore they are more in
telligent, and not so likely to be imposed upon
-by superstition. In this respect the citizens
of Philadelphia have greatly improved, as will
be seen by comparing them with those of
forty years ago. At about that period one of
the nightly watch of the old city proper
astounded the citizens by reporting that dur
ing the night, while he was perambulating liis
accustomed route along Third street,he saw a
headless being that looked something like a
man appear on the sidewalk in front of St.
Peter’s graveyard. The headless figure pro
ceeded to the corner of Third and Union
streets, where it vanished into the air. About
the same time a voice was heard, saying that
on t-lie 17tli of March following the world was
to be destroyed. Local news reporters, in
those days, were not known, and tlio watch
man, in order to warn the people, published a
narrative on small slips of paper,which readily
sold at the rate of two cents a piece. There
was great apprehension among many of the
people, and the forthcoming 17th of March,St.
Patrick’s day, was looked forward to with
dreadful forebodings of terror. The day
finally arrived; and at about three o’clock in
the afternoon immense numbers of crows flew
wildly iu the void above, towards Jersey. The
darkest kind of clouds enthralled the sky, a
hurricane ensued, and rain and snow fell thick
and fast, Among the more ignorant, of t Un
people the greatest terror prevailed, and quite
a number of deaths resulted from the fright.
The storm, which lasted all the night and part
of 'the next day, was exceedingly violent; but
finally the clouds broke, and the sun smiled
again upon the world and the “rest of man
kind.”
Twice since that period the Millerites have
fixed the time for the dissolution of all earthly
things,and on one of these occasions ascension
robes -were prepared, and the disciples of Mil
ler enrobed themselves for the especial eleva
tion. Ail enthusiastic Millerite, residing on
Third street, near German, put his robe on,
and, ascending to the roof of his house,
awaited the first blast of the resurrection horn.
Upon the other occasion several hundred
Millerites assembled in the old Chinese
Museum building, that occupied a site now
covered by the southern part of the Conti
nental, and there they awaited the dissolving
tableau. A wag having procured a tin horn,
gave a few blasts upon it, and the scene which
ensued we will not attempt to describe. Had
pandeniomium itself burst open suddenly it
would not have presented a more frightful
spectacle.
The last attempt at sensation, that set apart
for the 10th inst., having proved entirely false,
"it is liojied that the fools and fanatics will sim
mer down into eternal obscurity.
Sabbath Breaking.— Every Sunday when
there is a brisk wind the river Delaware be
comes studded with the sails of hundreds of
pleasure boats that dash ahead before, or on
the wind, thus presenting a marine' panorama
on an enlarged scale, anu by no means unin
teresting. At such times, and particularly
yesterday, thousands of Sabbath-breakers
were in boats of almost every kind, from the
large and neatly trimmed yacht down to the
smallest gunning-skiff or batteau. The steam
boats plying to uift'orent romantic and shady
retreats that beautify the banks of the Dela
ware, above and below the city, were crammed
on almost every trip with pleasure-seokers.
Towards evening the steamers became over
crowded, and the return trip, at such times, is
so inconvenient and annoying as to be a severe
tax upon all the pleasure exjierienced during
the day. One might suppose, without much
stretch of the imagination, that some high car
nival was in progress on the river yesterday.
In a word, it was a scene of Sabbath-breaking
. by wholesale. Q
Wrisky Seized.— Assistant, Assessor Edwin
A. Howell, of thc-Fourtli District; observed a
suspicions looking wagon being driven along
Broad .street on Fridiiy afternoon last. He
followed the wagon to Marseilles street, which
runs from Fifteenth street, above Spring
Carden. There several barrels were taken
from the wagon and were removed to a house,
A couple ot policemen were then stationed at
the house while Mr. Howell notified Assessor
Barrett of the discovery. A detective was de
tailed to look after the matter. The house
where the, barrels had been taken was
searched, but no barrels could he found. The
officers then looked over the fence, and in the
next yard were seen the barrels, which were
found to bo full of whisky, and were con
fiscated, as the necessary tax had not been
paid. '
- U(? l 'S CaFTUßKl).—During the past, we*df 77 -
unmuzzled dogs were captured in this city. Of
■that number 15 were redeemed. The re
mainder were- killed. Four stray hogs were
taken up, but they were all redeemed by their
owners.

Heavy Floods—A Fire.
, [From tho Titusville Herald, July 10. j
One of the most disastrous floods with which
the oil district has been visited since the great
flood of the Bpi'ing of 181S5, occurred night be
fore last. During Thursday afternoon dense,
black clouds gathered over the district, and
toward evening a rain-storm of unusual vio
lence set in. It was accompanied with fre
quent and vivid flashes of lightning, which,
so far as reported, took effect with disastroiis
effects only on Upper Cherry run. The rain,
however, fell in torrents through the night,
and the small'Streams within a radius of thirty
miles of this place were swollen to an unpre
cedented height.
The destruction of small bridges, culverts,
Ac., was general. The bridges over Bitliole
Creek from Pleasantville to its mouth were
swept away, together with two or three oil
tanks and other property. Nearly all the
bridges over the streams emptying in Oil and
East Oil creeks to the northward and east
ward of this city, were carried oft'. Along tlie
track of the O. C. and A. 11. Railway from
Irvington to Titusville, there were a great
