$AOO Reward.

ELOPED from my residence on the 10th inst negro
IL NORRAGE, about "a years old, S feet eight or
nine inches high, of a dark complexion, regular fea-
lures, likely appearance and considerable intelligence.
He has been trained from his infancy as a house ser
want, waiter, market man, carriage driver, &c. He has
ferent kinds of clothing, as he has been very lately
convicted ofseveral very high handed thefts. Previ.
ously to this he bore the character ola very trust-wor-
thy servant in every respect. He is well known in the
District of Columbia, particularly in Alexandria, and
has been at different times with me, and on my bust
ness, in baltimore, Annapolis, andother parts Of Mary
land.
It's likely some unprincipled scoundrel will furnish
him with forged papers to facilitate his final escape. !
will give twenty-five Dollars if he be taken and secur.
ed in the District or Prince Georges County, SO that ]
get him again, or Fifty Dollars if taken in any other
part of Maryland or Virginia, or the above reward il ia
ken elsewhere, with all reasonable charges if safely de.
liyered to me at my residence.

FROM THE PACIFIC.

Extract of letter from young officer Of the U. S..
ship United States, to his friends IN Boston, dated
ChoriAos, Sept 26, 1926.
The forts Of Calao are still in the posses
sion OF The Royal Spaniards. Bolivar has erect
ed batteries within quarter ola mile of them;
while the CHILEAN and Peruvian squadrons are
assailing the forts from the sea. Rodil, who
commands in the forts, has held out like good
fellow, and deserves the praise Of his nation.
He has been penned up nearly one year, and
has now only 1000 men; formerly he had 1000;
but living on salt provisions and bad water so
long, they have died. Five days ago shell
from Bolivar's batteries burst in the castle, and
killed Is men and Rodil's horse; and the SOL
diers Immediately devourcd the animal. The
port Of CaIlao is most rigidIy blockaded, and
no merchant vessel is allowed TO enter; and Bo-
livar has cut off all communication by land
Notwithstanding the soldiers are dying off very
fast, Rodil says "he will not give up while
there is a mans body to gnaw upon"

WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY %, 1896

By the Packet ship Manhattan, arrived at n.
York, and the Montezuma at Philadelphia,
London dates TO the 9Th, and Liverpool to the
9TH Jan. have been received. We are indebted
to the friendly attention Of the Editors Of the N.
Y Daily Advertiser, and Of Snowden's Nation
al Advocate, for slips containing very interest
ing information, altho' not so important in its
character as we had anticipated. The change
of rulers in Russia, has given rise TO no man
ner of confusion.-Even in Warsaw all appears
70 be Quiet: but it is limited in some of the
German papers, that Constantine thought it
prudent not to leave the Capt. al OF Poland until
precautionary steps were taken to insure con-
tinuance of the existing tranquility 1t will
be seen by the summary under the Postscript
that the Presidents Message was received in
England on the 4th January, and has ELECTED cri-
teal remarks from many of the leading Jour-
nails. We find no certain news from Greece,
later than we have already published The
British Traveller" of the sth January, gives
as rumor in which it puts no faith, that Reds
child Pacha is removed from the command
of the Turkish force, that Ibrahim has sue
ceeded him, and that he will go from Patras,
where he is now, 10 Missolonghi, to direct the
operations against that place.
The Traveller remarks, that it is more than
probable. that the two Chiefs have had dis
pute; but it doubts the command being vested
in Ibrahim

Gentlemen: have read the memoir you did
me the honor of addressing me, with the res
pectful attention alike called for by the impor-
lance of its object, as the source from which it
emana,es. Nothing is more essential than to
have correc, information on subject Of such
deep interes, as the proposed union Of The Eas-
tern and Western waters. The effort is glgan-
tic one, whether reference is had to the Difficult
ties to be surmoun,ed, or, in the event Of its
consummation, to its great national results -
Standing, as it does, in front of every other
Improvement which has been suggested in the
United States, have cheeriully yielded to your
request in directing the Engineer Department
to order an officer of the Typographical corps
to repair forthwith to this place, to receive in
structions for carrying into effect the several
objects adverted to, in your communication of
the 9TH instant; and that the Board of Engineers
for Internal Improvement have been directed
to prepare such instructions as may be neces-
sary to the fulflment Of those objects.

respect, your obedient servant,

And then what deep and spirited eye,
Quick asa quivering orb of fire,
Changing and shifting from love to ire,
Like the lights in summer-evening SKYE
Then the living and breathing grace
Sentfrom the whole ofthat magic face,
The eloquent play ofhis lips, the smile
Sporting in sunbeams there awhile,
Then with the throb Of passion pressed
Like shivering leaf that cannot rest
And still as lake when it waits storm,
That wraps the mountains giant form,
When they lie in the shade of his awful frown,
And his gathered brows are wrinkled down.
Such the visions that breathe and live,
The,playful touch other wand can give.
