Of all Victims who drop into New York
there are none so ripe for plucking as a
sailor. He is the moat verdant of green
hone, from the fact th 4, white knowing
all the schemes laid ford s ruin t .he per
sists in allowing himself io fall into them,
and if "shanghaed" and turned into ,the
street at night it is only a repetitieri' of
an old experience. To quote an old
phrase, " It is not the first time, and it
will not be the last." When Jack , is
landed from a cruise, With his pocket full
of cash, he has a serene contempt for the
lessons of the past. They won't get him
foul again. He'll only enjoy him self, and
not get '''knuckled" or "slowed" in any
"crib" of the "landshark."
On leaving the ship he is plied by
,a
" runner," who, of course, takes him into
a slop-shop, where be,buys an outfit, con.
aisting of a shirt wide open in tho chest,
with a broad collar, a pair of pants as
broad at the foot as they aro atlho waist,
it double-breasted vest, cut wide in the
bosom, aid a roundabout or jacket of
smaller style. The vest is of a cotton vol.
vet, and the coat and pants aro of coarse
blue cloth. Add to these a pair of low. .
quartered shoes, a silk neckerchief, fag-
°nod in, front with an ivory-ring, and a
loose cap, and'you have t 6 entire equip.
ment. For these he pays an enormous
price, the runner receiving' a largo com
mission for his share in the spoil. Being
thus "now rigged," Jack commences his
cruise in search of pleaspre. Ho is soon
beckoned intela dance.house by a painted
face, and takes a theerful glass, at the
same time "standing the drinks 7 for a
group of syrena who now approaeh : him
with their charms. He lays out a green..
back to pay the score; hut, as it is a ten
dollar notelay ia made in getting the
Change, and to while sway the time . more
drinks are ordered. Just then the irre;*
sistiblo melody of a Violin is heard die.
coursing fisher's Hornpipe or Money
Musk, and a jig is at oiice,etirted, and
before this is over the ten &ghat; 'bill is
quite forgotten-r-- .! • ' , ,
Shall we follow the details of the day's
'experience? MOre liquor is ordered, and
another ten dollar bill share l s the
. fate of
its predecessor. Danbing and drinking
continue until the fellow becomes stupid,
when ho is once lef into another room
and kept quiet until nightfall (the prbpri•
etor in the meautiino having secured his
'pocket book,) when le is turned adrift in
the street. The next morning Jack comes
to his senses, and after cursing his be
trayers in good sailor phrase, he turns
down, to some shipping office and engages
for_another voyage. .• •
IWe have noticed in some of the city
papers a new definition of the popular
term, "shanghaiing." It is stated that
this 'consists in shipping a sailor, while
drunk,, on *an last Indianian. This,
however, is quite an impossibility. The
captains of these ships are generally aien
of character, and do not buy sailors while
thus in a drunken condition of such men
as Tommy Haddon. East Indinmen gen.
erally required picked crews, and, of
course, do not telt° mex in the condition
rbferred to.

elephant of the Jardin des Plantes,
at Paris, used to play his visitors a trick
which could not have been thought of but
by an animal of intelligence. - His house
opened: upon an inclosure called the
elephant's park, containing a pond, in
which ho would lay himself under the
water, concealing every part of him .ex
cept the very end of his trunk, a mere
sfeck,'whiCh would hardly be noticed by
a strahger to the animal's habits. A
"crowd , would often assemhle around, the
inclosure, and, not seeing him in, would
watch in expectation that he would soon
issue from' his house. But while they
were 'gazing about,' a copious aprinklin g
of water would fall upon them, and ladies
*and gentlemen, .with their fine bonnets
and coats, would run for shelter under
the trees, looking up lo the clear silty and
wondering whence such a shower could
come. Immediately afterwardsrhowever s.
they Would see the elePhint rising slowly
from his bath;•eyincing, as, it seemed - , an
awkward joy af.,' the trick he had played.
In the course of time his amusement be.
cAme generally known; and, the moment
'the water began to vise from his trunk
the spectators would take flight, at which
he appeared exceedingly delighted,
ting up as fast as he could to see the bus
tie that he had caused";
DRIED POTATOES:—We have had . dried
apples, and : dried peaehw and dried
fruits of variouckinds, for a long time in
tho market. But we have never heard of
drying potatoes until now. I '
_ A-Mr. Pumas 11. Smith, of Baltimore,
had been experimentingpn potatoes,sweet
and Irish, - with reference to preserving
'them fresh and nice for an indefinite
time: The potato has hitherto been good I
only for &limited time, a few months at
the longest and the sweet'potato after:a
few diys or weeks even losiis some of its
beat qualities. Mr. Smith has succeeded'
preserving the potato simply.by drying
pi, so that a dish of the best quality! Can
lb° htidat.any period , of the year, as. fresh
and dry and sweet• as though newly dug.
So be says,and:sn the editor of the Scien
tific AmerlOan 'seems to think be has
' done. If he caa iotroduee his plan of
curing and drying 'the sweet, potato. into
the South, he thinki he will have fur
nished t , the planters with more thin a
compeisatioit for the loss of the cotton!

The four colored militiamen, named.
William Porter, Monroe Allen, Hector
Acton, and Willipm Reese, connected
with the force stationed at Marion, Crit
tenden ;entity, Arkansas; who porpetre.- .
ted, a fiendish and beastly crime upon
geveral women living in tho vicinity of
the camp, were arraigned before a court
martial on the 18th inst., and wore con
victed of the alleged charges, and allot by
order.of the Court on the following day.
' The vote of the court, in deciding the
ease of all the parties, was unanimous
for conviction. Upon the close of
trial the prisoners were confined in the
guard house, and were allowed the com
pany of the ealored•chaplains connected
with the force, who administered religious
consolation to their troubled minds. till
the time arrived for. their execution,
which was formalli announced to the
prisoners a half hour previous to their
death.
The intervening moments between the
announcement and the time they were,
shot :were of dreadful; egbtipand wailiPk t
tangled with 'cries tb the officers to Abate
their punishment, and' prayers to the
Giver of their lives for pardon and met ,
dy. Their piteous and load cries rent ti:
4ir, and were heard throughout the neigh ,
borhood, sending a chill of horror to all.
The men and racers of the garrison were,
however, unanimona in their condemna
tion 6f the outrage, and not a word of'
remonstrance, or an intimation of resist•
ance to the execution of` the sentence of
the court, was heard. On the contrary,
it , was featred by - the officers, front the
excited feelings of the privates, (particu
larly of those in th6sante company with
the criminals,) that previous
,to the pro
niulgation of the order of the court -mar,
list they would break, through' the guard
and deal out 'vengeance themselveli to.the
prisoners, who had so cruelly disgraced
them.
A few minutes preiinui to thp ;mom
tion, the prisoners' were led out from the
larriende a ehoredistanee, whore their
eoffinsilwere laid side hy side, a few foot
apart, and each tied to a' stake driven in
the grand at the ends of tho coffins, with
their backs to the same} rarty men, all
celored, and selected from ?very Conipa
ny, under pommand of Lieut. Gregory r
celored;weredetailed to shoot the crimi.
mils. They were drawn up in two ranks.
At the command of the• officer the front
rank leveled their guns at the 'pen and
fired, tho fatal shots.killing each of them
instantly. A squad of men was thou de
tailed to place the bodies in' their coffins
and bury them. The affair was witnessed
by the entire Militia force, with the
caption, of several scouting parties.
The names of the women who were out
raged are' as follows: Mrs. J. Reeves,
Mrs. Jas. Watson, Mrs. Galloway, WS.
McGee, and liaise Sweptsen. All Were
married and had families, save the latter.

WMSYMMY SIMPLICITY.
Western simplicity—not greenness, but
genuine candor and character--are to be
seen in the following incident, furnished
sometime since by a Western correspon
dent: ~ •
In a wild Western neighborhood the
sound of a church-going boll had never
been heard ; notice was given that _the
Rev. Mr. A-- 7 , a distinguished Presby
teriaa divine, would preach on a cer
tain dot.
i
The natives, who consist° mainly of
those hardly pioneers who h vo preced
ed eivilization,esme to hear him. There
had an'indistinckidea that "preachin" ,
was something to be heard, and all at
tended to hear it. •
After the service bail begni a rac -bon.
od limiter s with , rilloin hand, and all 'the
•
accoutrements of the dale abonthim;en
tered and took the'onlY I vacant seat—a
nail.keg without either' heat The 'cni
rent ofthe ireachei's thangbt led him into
a description of hea,veh4n4 its inhabi
tants. With great power he ad draw
a picture o the habitation of the blessed,
and was assigning of the patriarchs,
apostles and prophets each his appropri-
ate place. His Calvinistie tendencies led
him to , reserve the Apostile Paul for his
climacteric: 'frith his eye fixed upon the
highest poin ti and with an. upward gee.
tail, that seemed to be, directed to the
loftiest altitude of the heavenly places i he
said :
wheie my brethren, shall we
seat the great Apostle orthe .Gentiles?—
where, I say, shillwo plaee the Apostle
Paul?" • -
Then pausing, io•give the imagination
time to reach, the elevation designed for
the Apostle, be fixed Ms eyes Upon our
hero of the rifle. He, theiefore, thinkL
ing the addreir personal, rose instantly,,
and then replied : •
"If be can't t do - Ino better he can take
my seat." '
It is needless to say that' that Amax
was never readied.

• STORY. `. •
When thowar broke out; says the Tole

an honest, industrious, an 4 happy Ger
man The husband and father,
enlisted in the army la response to one
of the first calls for men, and. served
faithfully during litany loiig end 'weary
months without visiting his horde. llih
conduct in the army was such as-to meet
with the approbation:of his seporisors,
and was finally promoted to a crintainey.
Just before the battle 'of Gettysburg he
obtained leave of absence 'for • the
purpose of visiting home, and
wrote to histlevoted wife that ho would
certainly bo hem on tho :following
Thtirsday, requeating her to be earn and
meet him at the train. The next day
The army vatted in pursuit of Lee, who
was marching into Pennsylvania, and
the gallant German captain, 'instead of
going home, wont with_his comrades in
pursuit of the invader. He was in the
hottest of that totriblo fight at Gottys
burg, and, when the smoke, of ba , ttle
lcared away and the (lead:were gathered
up for burial upon that consecrated
ground, the German captain was count
ed among the slain. The news of his
death reached his he no in Cincinnati,

AT THE THEATRE IN DONAL, tiring the
performance of Offe 1 uhaeh's
, i low ope
retta, a young actress who appeared for
the first time was hissed. She turned
deadly pale, drew a poinard from her be
porn and tried to stab herself. -Fortu
nately the other actors succeeded in
wresting the weapon from her. The per
formance was interrupted for -half an
hour, and when the curtain, rose . ; again,
the miiiager appeared and said to l the
highly excited audience that :the young
actress would re-appear, but: he bogged
not to insuleher, she was highly talented
and that a little encouragement given to
her would at once elicit the full splefidor
other talents. The gallant Frenchmen
burst into deafening applause, when tlic#
young girl 'came forward again, and en-
Gored the first nit; which - was sang In
airemulous tone. This mark Of success
visibly animated her -courage, and bhd
achieved a g eat triumph. It was after-,

another Volume hasjust been issued ) mho*,
conclusively that Field Marshal anedok
was utterly guilttees ef,, the :disasters
which betel: the Atistriati army ill July,
1866. The tePorts contain 'no leSs than
teen telegrams in which the Pieta Marshal
implored the Emperor Francis Joseph,
during the last three days prior to the
battle of ;Mown, to make pence with .
k'rtissia. The last of these telegrams,
dated July!!, gonads truly pathetic':
treat is impossible now. the rrnisiiii,ns

evitable. Cannot conquer 'with this army
and this staff. Make peace, hinjesty,lm
mediately !" Francis Joseph telegraphed
that he could not, make pence, and that
Benedek must tight. Since the facts have
become generally- 2 knownittere is much
surprise that the Emperor should not
have vindicated Bonodek's sagacity, but
allowed him to bd reviled so long as a
military humbug. llenedek himself is a•
confirined hypochondriac, and fears have
been entertaiKed for some time past, by
hiS ;Ornate friends,' that he'inny commit
suicide in a fit of despondency. •
There aro many families in this city
Who use night lamps,and through inabili
ty to provide gas, have,bocn in the habit
of burning kerosene oil, a very good thing
when properly used. A few words on the
subject of its uses at night may prove in
teresting to.the general reader.
When the light of the kerosene lamp is
`turned down low tho combustion 'is not
perfeet, and the atanovhere of tho room
becomes vitiated by the unconsumed oil
