Th* wind was blowing up flrom th* wsst.
On th* M* of a t<>rmy dsv, .
And she saw tho ship that she loved best
Veering serosa the hay.
The asila were ragged, and old, snd worn.
And they rtspjwsTto snd ft-o in the Wast.

When Ihe root of the hunter hsth passed,
And ity O ship I hrsvc ship 1 safe may your

And it's otl for the dswnof to-morrow's worn'

The wind had sobbed itself to rest.
Like a weary, wayward child ;
And she lay with'her babe asleep on her
breast, '
And dreamed of the ship ami smiled.
She smiled ss she thought, in her happy sleep.
That the long. long parting was o'er ;
But she did not hear how the stona awoke,
And the breakers dashed on the shore.
And it's, O shin 1 brave ahip 1 she could not
sleep, if she
Had dreamt of the crash, and had seen the flash
which lighted the boiling sea.
She did not wake, though the wind was high,
But tnrned in her dream with a start.
And her sleeping lips framed the well-known

Which dropped from the full, full heart,
Aa water fall* from a shaken cup.
Suddenly over the Imm :
"Lord, keep my captain safe to-night,

IJHE FOB FURIR TREES.— The Htwti
ctdtttrisi uvs: It is a good plan for all
fruit, {frovera to apply lime freely in their
orchards every two or three years. A
half bushel to each tree, or 100 bushels
broadcast, per acre, will suffice. Light
loamy lands will be the best benefited by
the lime, and shell lime is better for fruit
trees than the usual stone lime.

Noxious WEEDS. —It seems to be a
great puzzle to some persons how to get
rid of noxious weeds. There is one cer
tain method which never fails if it is
properly and persistently put into prac
tice, viz., keep ail the leaves and stem*
cut close dowaio the surface. It makes
but little difference what kind of an in
strument is used for this purpose, wheth
er it be a bos, plow, or cultivator, onlv
let them be used so frequentlv that the
plant can get mropporrimitv for breath
ing, as it were, through its leaves.
There is BO species of noxious plant
that will live tiny considerable time with
out leaves, and this peculiar characteris
tic should be taken advantage of in their
destruction. Even Canada thistles and
toad flax will succumb under such treat
ment.
To Caw PEACHES A*D OTHKB FECITS.
Allow half a pound, or less, of sugar to
one pound or peaches. Make a sirup of
the sugar by adding a pint of water to a
oound of sugar, and boiling for a time.
Fare and halve the peaches; drop them
into the sirup and boil for ten minutes.
Put into cana —glass ones—and teal,
tightly. Any other kind of fruit may
be preserved in the same manner. They
will keep equally well without sugar, but
it is usually quite as convenient to add
the sugar when canned. Some add a
few peach kernels, blanched. For con
venience sake, and safety's sake, place
the can, being filled with" the hot fruit,
on a wet napkin or towel, folded a num
ber of times: florae varieties of pears re
quire longer looking, while some other
varieties of fruit need less. The cans
should be filled to the top.

in Europe, f?r washing, Is well known;!
the addition of a large handful of bo

water, being sufficient to save half the
quantity of soap ordinarily used. For
tight fabrics and cambrics, a moderate j
quantity is to be used; but for crino-;
tines, which Require to be made stiff, a
strengthened solution is necessary. Be
ing a neutral, salt, it dots not affect the
texture of unen in the slightest degree;
and as it softens the hardest water, it is
much used in washing generally. It is
also said to be unsurpassed for cleaning

Suspended from a Barulng Balloon.
At the close of the afternoon perform
ance of a circus in Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Charles Fisher made an ascent in a
huge hot-air balloon, or rather the bal
loon went up with Fialier dangling to a
couple of ropes suspended below. Im
mediately blue smoke was sen to issue
from a point on the side of the balloon,
about one-third the way up from the
mouth to the top. Experienced eyes at
once detected that the balloon was on
Are, but the aeronaut, oil unconscious of
his danger, went on with his frightful
performance on the trapeze. When the
balloon was about 1,500 feet in the air,
the flames were seen suddenly to burst
from its side, and simultaneously a cry
of horror went up from the great crowd
below. Many turned sway their eyes,
and one woman fainted, all expecting
that Fisher would at once meet a horri
ble death. But whether it was that the
material of the balloon was not veiy in
flammable, or that the hot-air near" the
flame was not very combustible, certain
it is that the balloon not burn
rapidly, and the leronant landed in safe
ty upon the top of a slaughter-house,
near the end of the Hocking Valley
bridge over the Scioto, while the burn
ing balloon lit in the water which
speedily extinguished the flames.

usual affectionate morning greeting,

The I UlUatlsn or Naphtha.
A project ha* recently Wan submitted
to the Russian Oovertnent for the utili

KIVIIMM an almoat inexhaustible trvaamv.
The Americana, it is said, take near five
hundred nullum* annually out of their
fossil oil, but their wells are reported as
i inferior, both in quality and ouantitv to
tho*e found on Russian soil. Whole
rivers of naphtha, it is affirmed, flow

I attentive application to the subject. His
plan is to utilise the stuff oliiefly as fuel
for atcamtsHtta. isial being exceptionally

sky a helping hand by assisting him iu a
great measure, and the plan proving prac

with hi a great extent. l'urjeUki's plan
is not to rely solely for fuel on uaphtha,
as a vessel might be delayed on its voy
age and unable to procure a freali supply
in foreign porta. The heating apparatus
tor uaphtha ia tar simpler thau that for
coal, but the vessels are to carry iron
grates with tliem'to put into the fireplaces
whenever required. Kx|>eriments have

Company has resolved to adopt the new
j system, calculating on a saving ol 30U

Fating (irren Corn.
Last autumn persons who wished to
jobserve "the proprieties" inquired of
j us whether it was according to good usage
■to gnaw the corn from the cob, or if it
; should W cat into the plat*'. Generally,
j though not always, matters of table eti
i qnette are founded iu common sense. A
■ bin! can only W properly enjoyed by
; picking it : hem e good usage sanctions
j the use of the fingers in removing the
flesh from the bones of a bird, while cue
who should take the lame of a tieefateak
or a mutton chop in his fingers would W
looked upon as ill-bred. 'The ouly way
to get the full satisfaction out of green
corn is to gtgiw it from the cob, and
though the operation, especially to a
foreigner who knows not corn, is not an
elegant one to witness, it is performed
at the best ordered tables. Ho generally
is it conceded that corn should tw> eaten
from the cob, that silversmiths now
make silver green-corn handles ; these
are thrust into the large end of the cob,
and allow it to he held without soiling
the fingers. It is rather an awkward
matter to cut the corn from the ear at
table, esiiecially if the knives are not
sharp. If it is to be eaten iu this way j
it should be prejiared before it is sent hi
table. The operation of eating from the
cob is much facilitated by drawing a
sharp knife lengthwise of each row, in
sneh a manner ihat tl.e hull of each ker
nel will be split. When this is done, the
digestible, nutritious content* of the kcr-
nets will slip out, and the often tough
hull be left upon the cob. Those whose
teeth are sensitive or defective will And

Kanngs for Old Age-
No one denies that it is wist* to make
provision for old age. but we are not all
agTeed as to the kind of provision it is
best to lay in. Certainly we shall want
a little money, for a destitute old mnu is
indeed a sorry right; yes, SSTC money
by all means. But an old man needs
just that jtarticulnr kind of strength
which young mcu are apt to waste.
Many a foolish voung fellow will throw
away* on a holiday a certain amount of
nervous energy which he will never feel
the want of until he is seventy, and then
how much he will want it! It is curious
but true, thst a bottle of cluunpague at
twenty will intensify the rheumatism at
threescore.
It is a fact that over-taakiug the eves
at fourteen may necessitate the aid of
spectacles at forty instead of sixty. We
advise our young readers to be saving of
health for their old age, for the maxim
holds good in regard to health as well to
money, '• Waste not, want not." It is
the greatest mistake to tmp|>oae that
violation of the laws of health can escape
its penalty. Nature forgives no sin, no
error; she lets off the offender for fifty
rears sometimes, but she catches him at
last, and inflicts the punishment just
when and where, and just how he feels
it most. Save np for Old Age, l.nt save
knowledge; save the recollections of
good and noble deeds, innocent pleasures
aud pure thoughts; save friends, save
love. Save rich stores of that kind of
wealth which time cannot diminish nor
death take away.— Rural AVTC Yorker.
RASCALITY. —The little village of
Galesville, in Trempealeau Co., Minn.,
almut 16 miles from Winona, was a scene
of much excitement on Friday last.
Two worthless fellows, the Winona Re
publican says, stopped at a hotel known
as the Two-mile House, near Trempea
leau, and, either out of malice or in
retaliation for some fancied grievance,
fired some wheat stacks belonging to the
owner of the place, destroying in this
mauuei upwards of four hundred hush
els of grain. They then proceeded to
Galesville, where, their true character
and misdeeds liecotning known, they
l were seized by a crowd of citizens, who
; threatened to lynch them. The two
men, however, commenced firing pistols
among the crowd, whereupon several
revolvers were fired at them in return,
' the shots taking such eflect that one of
the men died almost instantlv, and the
other was severely if not dangerously
wounded. The survivor was taken
charge of bv the Sheriff, who had con
siderable difficulty in restraining the
excited populace from lynching him,
for which all the material was prepared.
Wounded and Heeding, with a pistol
lull deeply imbedded in his body, the
man was carried to I>a Crosse, where he
now lies in jail awaiting the resnlt of his
injuries and the trial that may follow.
The two men hsd visited the region in
question before, and were known a*
desperate characters.
FRABFUL EXPLOSION. —The details of

some 40 in number, were thrown in the
air Many were carried is high as 250
feet A lady was thrown '' about 300
feet, and she was found drowned in that
position, standing erect, her feet fast in
the soft mnd of the marsh in about six
feet of water, with the book still in lier
hand that she bad playfully taken from
her husband a moment before."
LUCK.— The Rothschilds are said to
be such firm believers in luck that they
will never employ any one in any MUiae
ity who lias been unfortunate. They
always ask the man who applies to them
for a situation, however humble, " Have
you ever had any bail luck ?" and if the
reply be in the affirmative, he is rejected
without further discussion. To this
apparently severe and unjust mode of
dealing they attribute mueh of their ex
traordinary sueeess in business.
FUBNITUHE POLISH. —One pint of tin

Tuning by Htcimt on the Canal.
A novel plan for the propulsion of r*-
! nal boats by steam wea presented to the
i State (Vumuwtnm by the Hon. Chaa,
Howard, of New York, one of the old out
shipping merchants hi the State. He
exhibited a miniature canal filled with
water, with two curve*, or one reverse
| curve. The can til baa a rliaiu OU each
aide, oua for aaoendiug koala and tba
other for deaeandiug boat* Tbeae chain*
are kept iu their piece aroiiud the points
of the curvna of tli* canal by spars, one
and of which l* nhCcklcd to the shore,
i the other end to thechaiu. Thaae spars
prwveut the chain from being drawn
ashore on the point of the canal by the
bonte that are towing oa it. On the eon
cave aide of tha curve is a short chain
attached to Uie aliore at one end and to
the chain at Ilia other to prevent tha
duuti drawing from the concave aide of
tha enrva. The spars akviva described
hara also a short brace rhuin that leads
frotu the outer and of the spar, diagonal
!y to the shore in such a maimer as to
take all the atruin off frotu the main
chain licyutid that point, which divide*
the tension as often a* utreasury, so that
i a light and convenient mam chain c&n
tie safely used, and if auy accident
oecura to any one section, it can
be repaired, while the balauce of the
chaiu each side is intact. Ha also ex
hibited several miniature canal-Lists,
made on the same scale of the canal,
with a smalt wheel on the side of
the host near the bottom, secured
pi a shaft that extends through the side
of the List The wheel ho* a groove iu
'to periphery,with projectiles for the link
to drop into. The main chain is laid
into the groove, and when tha engine
turned the wheel, it drove the List along
j with great s|>eed with two or three othrr
I mat* iu tow, and turned the curves of
the canal, passing the S]NUTI ami GAY
chains with perfect freedom and ease.
The rh.iu* are continuous the whole
length of the level, but do not extend
through the locks. The plan contem
plate* the plan of having only one boat
in five titled with an engine, and this
engine boat to take about 160 tuna cargo,
and the other four 210 tons each, and
tow them from Buffalo to the Hudson,
and then ship s pair of Indian paddles,
which av rigged very simple, on each
side of the boat, aud continue the voy
age to New York and hark with her tloct
of barges or common L>ata. The paddles
were shipped in two minutes of time,
and made very rapid Npeed through the
miniature canal.
Feet and Mouth Disease in Sew York.

quantities munt l>e given in order that
the body should lose no flesh, while on
the other hand, the addition of some,
even though a small quantity, of meat, is
economical. He demonstrates that the
tissues of the body become more watery
with insufficient food, which renders the
whole organism less capable of resisting
injurious influence*. In his experiment*
on man he endeavored to ascertain which
of the several kinds of bread in ordinary
use (white bread, rye-bread, black bread)
was nlworlied in greatest amount during
its passage thnmgli the alimentary ranal.
ami found that whits wheaton bread
occupies the first place, then leavened
rye-bread, then the bread (rye) prepared
by the Horsford-Liebig process, and,
lastly, the Pumperniekij (North-Oerman
j black bread). Nevertheless, the first is
not so satisfying to the feeling of hunger
ns the three latter, and is more ex)>cnsive
in every joint of view. . He denies the

How TO PI T THE CHILDREN TO BED—

If you ever heard a little creature
signingor sobbing it its sleep, you could
never do this. Seal their closing eve
lid* with a kiss and a blessing. The
time will come, all too soon, when they
will lay their heads tipou their. pillows
lacking both. Let them, then, at least
have this sweet memory of a happy
childhood, of which no future trouble
or sorrow can rob them. Give them
their rosy youth. Nor need this in
volve wild license. The judicious pa

you have ever met the man, or the
woman, whose eyes have suddenly filled
when n little child has crept trustingly
to its mather's breast, you may have

At the Saratoga race* it waa exiieelctl
that " Longfellow " would lieat " lieltu
hold " easily. John Harper, the owner
of " lamgfellow," let and loet large
Minis of uionev on hi* favorite. A cor
respondent thua deacribea the *ccu at
j the raec :
I sat with Johu Harper at the left of
the grand stand, and watched every mo
tion of the old man's face. " Longfel
low " lirnl rilli around the track twice im
mediately Itefure the race, a priHWevling
unatviHiiiutahle lo many here to-day.
NVliy did you do it f" I aaked Mr.
Harper.
•' Because 1 thought old long waa a
leetle tight, aud I wanted to sec if lie
would aweat well."
As the horses ataited, I asked Jshli
Harper how " Longfellow " wa pre|oml
for Uie race.
"Very well," he replied, ""only a lee
! tie too high."
I will now give you a faithful photo
graph of the scene ;
'1 he horses are now well ou the second
mile, 1 sit by John Han*r. " How i*
he going T" I ask old John, who sit*
with his cold grey eye* sternly fixed on
the race.
" He is doing very well—only the boy
i* riding him a leetle too fast—faster titan
I ordered him—but he is a good boy,
' and I reckon he knows w hat he ualout."
The horses now passed the grand stand
the secoud time.
" How in lie going now ? " I asked.
" Tbe IHIV is uiakiug him go a little
furdur out "than I ordered hint, but I
reckon Longfellow luis got the race."
The old man looka on txildly, but with a
dreadful interest that neotus to take awav
liis hreath.
The lioraea now enter upon the third
tuile. " Longfellow " begius to throw
: out hi* tail.
" I guess the old boy ia too weak for
him," said old John, quietly, his eye*
still fixed on the race in dreadful silence.
The homes now pass the grand stand a
third time, almost neck and ueck.
Johu Har)>er looked liappy aud secure.
"Y'ou are verv quiet for oue who ha*
S4O,OUt) tUqieudiug on the race," I re
marked .
The old niau make* no reply. He
never spoke after this.
" Longfellow " aeemed to let down hia
Imck a* if exhausted, caught the bit, aud
it waa all up in a moment.
" What is the matter. Uncle John ? "
Not a word iu reply ; but the old
niau'* eye* seemed to Ire wandering, and
liia mind had goue away to the grand
stand—to his home.
" Helmbold" now ms.lt> a sudden
spurt, took the lead, and held it like
grim death. John Harper looked lik*
I one at the deathbed of a friend—hope,
sickly hope. Lamed in hi* countenance,
and that was all. Not a word eacaped
his lips. He aaw lil* love, his pride, his
idol, break down before hia eyes, while
ten thousand demoniac voices shouted,
and made a liedlatn uf the grand stand
" ljougfellow lias been druggKl,"
growled old C-ol Bndgeland to old John.
John Harper made no rejUy. His heart
seemetl liioken, and " He'* gone," were
the only words he uttered.
A* he utteml those word*, I felt a feel
ing—a pacychologie feeling of pitv for
the good old man. Demoniac *liouts
went up from ten tbuusaud huara*
throats, but old John heard them uoL
He heard, saw nothing but his panting
horae, heard nothing hut his hard breath
ing. I got up and walked down bo the
track with him. He walked up by
" Longfellow " his defeated pride, hi*
dead hope, but was silent as the grave.
The grand old horse stood trembling,
with liia head down, exhausted. The
last mile was too macli tor him. En
(luirerJim ran into the weigh house,
doffed hi* *uit, and went mournfully
back to the stable with lite horae anJ
hi* grey-haired owner.
To me the race was a funeral and a
wedding. While the old man's heart
was breaking, ten thousand people wen
wild with joy. I could not rejoice. I
only saw, aud hoped, and suffered with
tbe'white-haired old man by my aide.
The General Sherman.
Five years ago an American trailing
schooner, the General Hheruian, loaded at
the Chinese port of Cbe-foo and prwwd
ed with a general cargo, across the Yel
low sea to the opposite peninsula of
Core*. She is said to have had on Liard
three American citizens in the persons of
her owner, master and mate, two English
subjects, two Portuguese and a erew of
Chinamen. At the mouth of oue of the
large river* which flow from the eastern
mountain ridges of Cores into the Y'ellow
MW the General Sheruian fell in with a
Chines.* tradiug junk. The master was
taken on board to act as pilot tip to an
inland mart of Corean commerce. This
caution* oriental tiegan to discover a*
they ascended the river, that the Corean*
considered the intrusiou of the foreigner
as an act of hostility, and that there was
every probability of their resentmeut
assuming a highly disagreeable form.
On some pretext or other, tha pilot threw
up hia charge, and carried to Che-foo a
story about the burning of the General
Kherman and tbe massacre of *ll on
Laud. It lias neve* been accurately
ascertained whetiier the pilot drew
entirely upon hia imagination fur the
materials of this t*le, whether he con
structed it by the aid of threatening inti
mations received from the natives, or
whether, before leaving the const, he had
actually received authentic new* of the
fate of titc schooner. He stated tbe date
of his abandonment of tbe Sherman to
have Wen Sept 11, 18fl6, and it was
a)Hint the end of October when he reach
id Che-foo. This wonld allow time
enough to render it probable that he had
remained ou the Corean coast for a week
or two after leaving the American trader.
Beyond the story of the pilot, and some
confirmatory statements elicited by sub
sequent inquiries in C rea, the fate of
the General Bhorntan ha* remained a
mystery from that day to thi*.
MIHKRT IN HRNOART.-A cable despatch

A (kiNBMRACv.—In Washington a man
named Darden murdered a gambler
named McCarthy. From remarks made
in a raving fit by Darden, who is thought
to be insane, it is oonjectared that there
was a conspiracy on the part of certain
gamblers to murder McCarthy, that lots
were drawn, and that the unlucky nnm-
Lr fell to Darden, who performed the
deed in compliance with the terms of the
conspiracy. During one night he several
times exclaimed, "Why was I Italloted
for to kill McCarthy ! ' It is thought
the wound* he received on the head by
the butting of McCartuy have caused his
madness. He attempted to take the life
of his fellow-prisoner, James, who was

The ( rr*n War.
Advices from Admiral Rodgar# give
us details of the second I>uttie with (lie
Corona*. The Admiral had determined
to await instructions from the United
State* Government before " vindicating
the honor of the American ting" by
puuialiing the Coronas fur their attack
made ou the Ist of June. But hi* plans
wore afterward changed, aud ha has had
another severe engagement. After the
action of Juno 1, Admiral Itodgors and
Minister Lowe IIOJMSI the Corosu Gov
ernment would send su apology fur their
wautoii aud uuprovnked attack on the
surveying party. For this reason the
fleet remained inactive for ten days, but
the Corcaiia allowing n< signs that they
iuUmdod to a|Hilogiee, it was determined
to semi an exjKMUtiou up the river lead
ing to the capital to sveuga the insult to
the American flag. As the passage of
this river i* very dangerous, it waa
thought lwwt that a pirty should land on
the jM-ninsultt, In-low the forts, under
the Are of the Monocacy and Palo*, and
attack the Corraua iu the rear, thus hem
iniug them in, ami making prisoners of
tliein all. The weather ou the tuuruing
of the 10th of June was favorable, and
st about 10 o'clock the expedition start
ed. It consisted of the Monocacy. Pa
ha, and four steam-launches, under the
couuuMiid of (Commander Blake ; end a
laud force from the Colorado, Alaska,
and Beuicia, under the command of
Commander A. L. KiiuWrly. Iu addi
tion to her customary armament, the
Mouocacy carried two 0-iucli guns, to
increase her efficiency.
The whole force, officers and men,con
sisted of: Laud fotce, till men, with
about 1(1 pieces of artillery ; aud force
afloat, 301 turn ; total, 045 men.
The place where the trtMi|M landed nun
•iiiythiiig but favorable. A mud-flat,
half a mile wide, and tao nttles long,
lay betweeu the boats and the shore, and
through this the men had to wade,
alt hough the mud and water via waist
deep ; several of the guns stuck in the
mud for some time. But tbe men went
bravely through, all laving anxious to
vindicate the honor of their flag.
A* soon aa the force* were on ahore
the alii|si tiegau to shell some of the first
liattorio*, while the troops (the land
force) advauccsl, headed by a detach
ment of men in skirmishing order. The
Corcan* did not wait to receive our men,
but left their fortifications and retired,
flrtug only now and then a rtrav shot ao
that this first line of breastwork* fell in
to the hands of the Americans without
auy struggle. Iu building the fortifica
tions considerable skill had been display
ed, but the t'orvaus had no men to tian
them efficiently. The maiu body of the
force then encamped for the night near
the fort in a barh-y-field, and not for dis
tant from a village, which was aoon ran
wu-kod for provision*. IbnadaßOt of
rice wo* found, but scarcely any poultry
or pigs were to be seen, the very tiling
most looked for.
The outwork* bciug in the ]>oae*tuon
of the Americans, there remained only
the citadel itis-lf to be taken. This was
a formidable place, ou a lofty hill, deco
rated with uianv flag*, and among thetn
wo* a large yellow one in the center,
showing this to lie the position of the
Commander-in-Chief.
It was hard laLir to drag the gnus
over hill aud dale, but the pioueera
proved themselves up to their work, so
that all obstacles wen* removed without
much ilifficulty. The flotilla, in the
meantime, moved up toward the citadel,
and the Monocacy, having taken up a
{K Milton within two hundred yard* of it,
svgan to open fire, dropping her mis
siles among the enemy m fine style.
Hut rite hail not alone to contend with
the citadel, as the IHI tie ry on the opposite
share, on the mainland, alaoopeued fire.
The gunners, however, soou act down
in earnest to their work, and after an
hour's severe shelling both places were
silenced, the ship having received n*
injury from the fire of the enemy. A
signal then went from shore to ccaae
firing, aud the land foroe advanced to
stornt the place. Having arrived at the
foot of the hull the storming party stop
{>ed a moment to breathe, after which
they made a bold rash for the fortifica
tion* above them. A hail of ballets and
other missiles greeted the storming
partv, but nothing could stop them.
Witfc the greatest pluck aud courage
they advanced until the desired object
wo* gained. Lieut. McKec waa the first
to enter, followed by aome of bis men,
but no sooner hail he got over the wall
than he waa struck bv a lull and pierced
by asjiear, which killed h; a. .
' In a few minutes the place was cleared
and the enemy route*!. Tbe interior of
the citadel was in * frightful condition.
Numerous. dead and mutilated liodtew
lay in and around the fortification, 240
L-tng counted in a small space. This
waa, however, not the whole loss, for
hundreds ran into the water and were
drowned, among whom was the Com
mander-in-Chief. who, when in the water,
cut bis throat. The second in command
waa among the wounded prisoners. It
apjwara they were placed by the Corean
Government* either to conquer or die,
hence the desperate resistance they main-
Lined there. IWide tbe brave LienL
McKee, the American* hod two more
killed and six wounded, which, consider
ing the murderous fire they bsd to paa*
through, i* a very light loss. It was tbe
bad aim which made the fire no ineffec
tive. The Coreans, like the Chinese,
are poor marksmen. The fort was de
molished like the other# ; all the guns
were dinstiled and thrown into the river,
the stores were burut, and magazines
Mown tip. In all. the Americans de
stroyed five forts and the citadel, with
481 guns.

Boiee Anchorage, Cores,Junejl'2, lß7l. )
GENERAL OBPEB NO. 32. —The C'ORN
mnnder-in-Chief has pleasure as well as
pride in making known to the officer*,
seamen, and marines of the Asiatic Flint
hi# high satisfaction of the gallantry and
endurance evinced by them in the recent
ojorations against the Corean* on Kang
hua Island.
On the Ist iust. while the Monocacy,
l'aloa. and four steam launc.iea were en
gaged in surveying, tliey were suddenly
assailed liy a storm of missiles from
masked lotteries ou the ahore.
With the greatest promptitude and
galldntry this treacherous attack was
met and* tlie enemy driven from hisgtins
and his position.
TheCorean Government having failed
to make any apology for this murderous
attack, on the 10th inst. sn expedition,
consisting of a landing force detailed
from the Colorado, Alaska, aud Benieia,
under Commander L. A. Kimberly,
with the gtinlmats Monocaey and Paloa,
all tinder Commander 11. C. Blake. Com
manding-in-Chief, was dispatched to
punish the enemy.
The operations of the 10th and 11th
insts., which resulted in the capture of
five smaller forte,culminated on the 11th
in taking, by assault,the enemy's strong
hold located in a most formidable posi
tion. at a very dangerous part of the
river, and desjerntely defended.
Two hundred and* forty-three of the
enemy's dead were counted within and
around these works, ami fifty flags were
taken.
The works were formidable not only
from tlie natural features of the land,
from shoals and violent current* in tlie
river, but were rendered artifically so
by hundreds of weapons,of various kin-Is,
placed Viy the enemy for their defense.
The gallant band which encountered
and overcame the perils of the naviga
tion, which fought its way, against
vastly superior forces, through mud and
marsh, over precipitous hills and diffi
cult ravines, and finally stormed and
captured the enemy's stronghold, is
worthy of all praise.
To one and all tlie Commander-in-
Chief expresses his thanks, and the pride
he feels in commanding such a body of
officers and men. He makes known te
the ooramsnding officers of vessels his
obligations for Hie efficient drill and or
ganization which have produced the reli
able force composing the Asiatic fleet.
To those brave men now suffering
from their wounds he tenders his hearty
sympathy.
While rejoining in the success achiev
ed by our arms, he expresses his pro
found sorrow for the loss of those gal
lant men who gave up their lives in vin
dicating the honor of their flag.
While deploring their loss, letus pre
•erve the memory of their bravery.
Among the houoml deid whose lose
we deplore ia IJeut. Hugh W. M*Kec,
who, gallantly leading hl men tii the
assault, fell mortally wounded in the oon
ter of the oitadel, wltiuh be was the flnl
to aeale.
Hie memory ia the more endeared to
tu beoaniM we knew him, and hi* gallant
ry will be cherished by all aa a bright
example to the service, _

A MMfittl despatch to tha New York

terrible ravage* of famine and pesti
lence in I'ciwft The Persian govern
mailt hi clearly an internet in under

liinv they have been undoubtedly tin
ifault of it* own oppressive maladmin
istration. Xu Ispahan. a <ity variously
rail Bis ted at from two to five bund roil
thooaand people, there bare been 27,-
000 ilmtlia, and the mortality baa not
Jet diminished. Tbe terrible veoord is,
uwever, eclipsed by the aoooonta from
tbe province* where the famine A rat as
sumed alarming proportions. In Ma
aaadcraii a very much larger percentage
of deatba baa taken ulnae; aome ao
muata, indeed, aay half of tbe papula
tion h.ve periabed. Throughout tbe
rire-gTowiiig proTincea there baa been a
oumplete failui. of (be crop, owing to
the drought. Hopea of better report*
from thine aectiona of the country muat
tbt-n-forf be indefinitely postponed
Lsrgv and formerly prospcroiut provinces
ape altogotber deserted. Disease, aa
might have naturally been expected,
follows in tbe train of Una horrible
dearth, and attack* nun and hennt Tbe
former rumor of the Asiatic plague hav
ing broken oat in unoontinuea, bat in ita
ntfud, typhus end famine and fever and
smallpox—the laet an nnuaual diaaaif in
j Persia —are doing dreadful work. Tbe
| cattle plague i* raging terribly alao in
Ithe district* where any rattle are atiil
left to bf preyed upon try ita ravages.
Far Bpppil',
Indigestion, depression of aptrita, and
general debility m their various forma ;

- made by (Well. Haaard k Co.,
New York, and aold by druggists, ia the

recovering from fever or ether sickness,
it baa no txjuaj.
For 200 very valuable reoeipea that

1 Tlw conflict may lost longer in aome

WE pledge oar reputation on the aa
mertion that aay educated physician,

Tan Legislature of New Hampshire
haa pawed an art compelling every pa
rent or guardian to ssnd bia child to a
