MISCELLANEOUS.

A friend on reading the accounts In
Yesterdays Courier, of the supposed
capture of the Susquehannah] was re-
minded of the following story, which he
had read some months ago, in the Uni
ted Service Journal, an English publica-
ton, and brought us copy OF it. The
hero Mitchell, may possibly be the per-
son supposed to have committed this pi-
racy, and, if so, the story possesses a
peculiar interest at this time.
MITCHELL, THE PIRATE.-"Well" |
said, "he is certainly a noble looking
fellow, if that be the famous Mitchell.
| | have read the lives of the Buccaneers
and most of the modern novels where
pirates are commended into generous
cut-throats but remember no hero OF
them all to compare with the picture OF
this fine fellow. Bulwer himself could
scarcely have imagined more magnifi-
cent villain"
This was abouteighteen months since,
when was standing on the wharf, OBJ
serving the vessels that arrived with a
fine breeze, and anchored in succession
abreast the city of Charleston in South
Carolina. A tall and most remarkable
person approached the spot where | was
standing, and where a single sailor with
in few yards Of me was similarly en-
gagged in watching the vessls that moved
about the harbor. The stranger appear
ed 10 be in the prime of lite, though some
what weather-beaten, and his tall erect,
and singularly commanding person, with
an enquiring eye, rendered him an OBJ
iect of instant attention. He was in the
dress of sea-faring person with a round
Jacket, the buttons Of which displayed
an anchor, and his flowing white trows-
ers, and large Havannah hat induced
me to suppose that he was a naval off
Ger. He approached the sailor, and 1
overheard lhe following dialogue.

"Yes; but think have seen you

"Oh | see your are fool"
"Ahl you want six good men, do

Thereupon the tall stranger did sidle
of, and disappeared round the bow OF a
vessel close by.

from him that it was the renowned
Mitchell, who for years had carried ter

of Mexico. He is in low water now"

GERMAN GRATITuDE.-An old En-
glish magazine records that during the
American revolutionary war, eighty old
German soldiers who, after serving un-
der different monarchs of Europe, had
retired to America and converted their
sworps into ploughshares, voluntarily
formed themselves into company, and
distinguished themselves in various ac-
tons on the side of liberty. The cap
tain " as nearly one hundred years old,
and had been in the army forty years,
and present in seventeen battles. The
drummer was ninety four the youngest
man in the corps on the verge Of sew
enty. Instead of cockade, each man
wore piece Of Grape, as mark of sor-
row for being obliged, at so advanced
period of life, to bear arms. "But,"
said the veterans, "we should be def
cient in gratitude, if we did not act in de-
fence of country which has afforded US
a generous asylum, and protected US
from tyranny and oppression" Such
band Of soldiers never before, perhaps,
appeared on any field of battle.

BEAUTIFUL ExTRACT--A thousand
years hence Qor | must indulge a few
thoughts) perhaps in less, America may
be what Europe is now. The innocence
OF her character that won the hearts Of
all nations in her favor may sound like a
romance, and her inimitible virtue as if
it had never been. The ruins of that H.
berty for which thousands bled, may just
furnish materials for a village tale; or ex-
tort a sigh from rustic sensibility, while
the fashionables of that day enveloped in
dissipation, shall deride the principles
and deny the fact.
When we contemplate the fall Of en-
pires, and extinction of the nations of the
ancient world, we see but little more to
excite our regret than moulderng ruins
of pompous palaces, magnificent monu-
ments, lofty pyramids and walls, and
towers of the most costly workmanship ;
but when the empire Of America shall
fall, the subject for contemplative sorrow
will be infinitely greater than crumbling
marble or brass can inspire. 1t will not
then be said here rose a Babel of i'm.
mense height, or there place of sumpt-
uous extravaganza; but here l--Oh
painful thought the noblest work Of hui
man wisdom-the grandest scene of hu-
man glory-the fair cause Of Freedom

ScorT AND BuLwER.--The editor Of
the Washington Madisonian calls Bul-
wer SCOTS superior By what stan
dard can he measure Intellectual great
ness; Scott, inferior to Bulwer -
Scott, whose praise is on every tongue,
whose name Is called up at our firesides
with tenderness bordering upon per-
sonal attachment, whose fame is cherish
ed by the reading world with a venera-
ton approaching to idolatry-Scott the
characteristics Of whose mind are as va
rious as they are wonderful,--the pain.
ter of nature, the great enctanter in the
field of imagination, the matchless hisio-
rian of the hear, rf,--who Shakspear only
excepted, stands out upon the roll Of inn
mortal names alone and solitary in the
unapproachabe majesty ofhis genius -
he, inferior to BulwerllI There is pro-
fanation in the thought. A criticism less
in harmony with public taste and the truth
we have seldom seen--Mr. Bulwer Is
a man ofrare, though misapplied talents;
his novels abound in scenes of deep inter-
est powerfully wrought up, but his char
acters are deficient in truth and nature,
and his highest APPROACH to the excellence
of Scott still leaves the latter towering
at an immeasurable distance above him.
1t is enough for his fame that any pas
sionate admirer should ever think OF
comparing him with Scott.-Ioledo

SAnoRs.-The old tars say there are
no sailors in Tophet; for the Devil was
standing one day at the outside of the
gates, and got his tail through knot
hole. Thereupon. all the sailors caught
hold oft, and began strong pull Alto
gether." While in this dilemma, Satan
ordered a large bowl ofpunch to be mix
ed, and then cried out, "Grog o! Grog
or Upon hearing this, the sailors i'm
mediately quilted their hold of his tail,
and rushed out of the gate to obtain their
treat. Since that time, sailors have new
er been admitted into Tophet, but have
been kept in Davy Jones' locker.-Bos-

PRESENTATION OF FRUIT.-Our holi-
day rounds have afforded ample proof of
the efficacy of cotton in preserving fruits,
in their natural state, for long time af.
ter their natural period of decay. We
have seen and tasted black Hamburger,
sweet water and Isabella grapes, in the
year 1887, as fresh and plump as they
were when plucked from vines in Sep
tember or October, preserved in cotton,
according to the directions given in the
Cultivator last summer. Fruits thus
preserved should be mature, and perfect
ly dry, and ifgrapes, the unripe and de-
fective berries should be carefully pluck
ed off. They are placed in layers and
alternately with clean cotton batting, in
a stone jar or tight box, placed in dry
place, secure from frost, till the fruit is
wanted for use.--Cultiuator.
FRUIT TREES may be removed and
transplanted after the first of October.
Most farmers who transplant fruit trees.
suffer great loss by not doing the work
well. The principal care needed, is,
first to dig the holes large, say six feet
across, and fifteen or eighteen inches
deep; secondly, to preserve carefully
the roots as entire and uninjured as pos
sible, and not 10 suffer them to become
dry out the Of ground; and thirdly, to
fill the hole with finely pulverized, rich
earth, (not manure,) shaking in small
quantities, and packing it, closely, but
gently, about the roots, SO as to leave
them in their natural position in the soil.
The whole expense Of this, would not be
more than halt the price Of the tree, and
in five years it would be three times the
size, which il would be, if transplanted
by the common way digging holes, and
doing the work in great haste and imper-
fectly.-Gsnesee Farmer, ~
