After proceeding some fifteen or twenty

who were going on the same' boat. They in
vitednie to take a drink with them, which I
did; amt I also asked them to drink with me.
At this time I think they must, have seen rimy
money, which I =had in my pocketbook,
amounting to tifty-fivejdollars. In the evening
I had a faint recollection ofaome persons seiz
ing hold of me,' and directly afterward I found
myself in the water. —I- found when I first got
. overboard that, my pocket-book .was gone. I
tried to swim with my clothes on, but found ,
it very difficult, and removed' my cloth-•
ing except my, shirt. ' My : bootsfltroubled
Me most to get, off. I then struck out for land,
t -
which must have been a mile or ; more on; but
:;,;,the tide kept putting me back, and I had
made up my mind that I must finally be
. drowned, when saw the light of the
steamer Delaware, I judged a mile off and
toming toward me. I made every endeavor
to, get 43 near her as possible, and when she
got in my vicinity I called for help again and
again as loudly as pos.sible, but my strength
'was nearly gone and I feated I should not be
beard. .It was still night, howevei, and - my
Voice was heard by Captain Smith, who im
mediately sent a boat to my relief, and I was'
brought on board of the steamer and kindly
cared for. I think I was in the water about
an hour and a half." •
111 r,. Hecker was confined to his. ed all day
. Saturday, and is very weak and Sere, but will
'Probably be out in a day or two. He says he
has been a clerk in a drug store in New York,
and has also been employed in the same bust
.- iiess in Boston. He served three years in the
"-Vcar,
and was Hospital Steward in the , Fifty
.tiftl: Massachusetts Regiment. He appears to
be a very intelligent and honest man. He has
no' near'relatives, be sais, in this cowl ry.
There is but little question but what the poor
. Man was drugged, robbed, and then thrown
I;tverboard by the Scoundrels who made his ac-
Anaintance before leaving New. York.
SOnfe kind citizens of Now London . will
probably supply him with needed Clothing and
funds necessary for him to reach ,B osto n,where.

His Story, as told our reporter, is the same that
he told Captain Smith, and. there is no reason
to.doubt its, entire truthfulneSs., Captain Smith
also says that from the time the Old Colony
passed him until he beard' Hecker's cries for

have been in he water about : that time.
ARICITAL OF MONITORS IN . NEIVi,
•UIEANN.
Surndsei as to What They are Intended
FOr:
From the New prleaus Plenyune, Aug. 26.1
V
. or Some, time past the Cubans in this city
have been quite elated by the belief that bet-
ligerent rights would soon be accorded to the
revolutionists in Cuba by both the United
litatei and 'Fern, and the arrival of three of
the live monitors, whose departure from
Mound City (oaths Mississippi river in Illi
nois) has been chronicled, seemed togive some
color to their statements. The three monitors
that have arrived aro lyingjust below the city
and are in a very dilapidated condition,
certainly not ready for any active sea service,
and. the two others which are 'at present
aground this side of Memphis are thought to
be in a similar condition.. There has been con
siderable mystery about the movements of
these monitors and those connected with them
—a wise shake of the head and non-com
mittal shrug of the shoulder being about
all that can be elicited from any of ,
the : officers, who in all probability know
but little more than those who question them.
One thing is certain, however—the Cubans
here regard the appearance of these monitors
as significant of the intention of the govern
ment of the United States to accord belligerent
rights to their countrymen and are jubilant
over the fact. It is certain, also, that if these
monitors are meant for service, they will' have
to be completely overhauled at considerable
expense. One of these vessels is named
Hecate and another Fury—warlike names,
certainly.

The Ramping of the Pacific Railroad
Snow Sheds.
Ffom the St. Louis Despatch.l
Our readers are probably aware that long
sections of the Central Pacific Railroad are
covered with sheds to protect the track from
the snow. This defence is but partially effect
iVe: Travel was seriously interrupted last
-winter oth-T-o n - the - Oentrai — and — tinion -
Pacific, by snow, and we presume
the same thing will happen every
--wiriter:"-Brit-if-the-focifinglirthheroadwere
' -•i_reinedy_against_the-snow,-it-is-a-remed -
worse than the disease. Sheds may protect
the road from snow, but what will protect
the sheds from fire ? The event recorded. to
day answers the question. The sheds have
been all .swept away by tire, and the road it
self so seriously damaged that the, trains
have stopped running. It may be a week be
fore travel is resumed. The category of railway
casualties is now enriched with a class of ac
cidents peculiar to the Pacific Railroad. The
traveler may see the shedded, winding road
-metamorphosing-itself before - his - eyes into a
huge serpent of fire which it would be death
to approach. A read which - is overwhelmed
by snow in the winter and scourged by fire in
the, summer does not answer the essential con
ditions of a Pacific Railroad.
:Something Abont Duels.
The duelling season (says the London Dally
News) seems again to have' returned. The
example set by M. Poeze and Mr. Reginald
Russell was quickly followed by M. Flourens
and by that enthusiastic partisan of the French
empire; the quarrelsome deputy and journalist,.
M. Paul de Cassagnac. In Italy the deputieS
are also doing the best among thernselves to
kill each 'other. There is the duel between
Signor Curzio and Signor Civinini. ' Then,
Signor Frambri .has sent his seconds to the
Deputy Righetti. Though Signor Righetti has
refused the challenge, on the - ground that as a
journalist he had a right to criticise Signor
Frambri in his - public -capacity, he is willing
fietOthel6SS ' to nght any lespeetablLpeiten_
who will present himself instead. of Signor
Frambri. This may probably end in a fight;
for in • exactly similar circumstances Signor
Arbid fought against Signor Oliva, instead of
Signor Brenna, who was the offended party.
"Is this duelling never to end? Kings; it is
said,- have generally. pronounced against -it - in
vain—notably Louis XIV. But in England it
is stopped, and-elsewhere energetic action on
the part of the authorities has had at least 'a
mitigating effect. Among the many staunch
opponents of duelling-may be mentioned the
late Emperor Nicholas of Russia. An anec
dote is related of a stratagem adopted by the
Czar to avert an encounter which the Emperor
Napoleon might have imitated, perhaps,iit favor
of such an adherent as the editor of the Journal
cic l'Empire. One day an aide-de-camp, of the
Emperor Nicholas threw :himself at his feet,and
begged as an extraordinary favor.frOm his sove
reign permission to fight a duel. The Emperor
immediately and emphatically refused. 'But, .
