A FORMIDABLE SEA DoG.-A correspon-
dent of the Montreal Herald. writing from
Washington, gives the following account
of marine monster now in process of con-
structon at the Washington navy yard:
AS an item Of news, might tell you Of
the steamship Of war Union, Captain Hun
ter, now lying at the Washington navy
yard. If accounts of her be true she might
be more appropriately called The Unique,
for she is the only one Of her kind. Her
tonnage is near 1900, and she is propelled
by horizontal wheel submerged some Is
feet below the surface. This wheel is pro-
tected by a sort of false bottom, so that it
may be considered altogether within the
boat. Her armament is, | think, eight SO
Founders for solid or hollow shot, and her
speed is to be II miles per hour. Her
bow is exceedingly sharp and is built pig
con breasted SO as TO cause an enemy's
ball aller a fuer at any but large angle,
and it is said that even in this case her
powers, Of resistance, are uncommonly,
great.
The particular purpose she is intended
to serve is to meet broardside on, and cut,
an enemy's ship in two, and this favor, it
is supposed, she can effect for any marine
ediice now ahoat.
After the conclusion she is to back her
engines and retire for another attack on
her second enemy, or to allow her boats to
pick up the surviving crew of her vanquish-
ed foe; and what is more astonishing than
all is that her enginery is SO constructed as
suddenly to shift its place, without detri-
ment or arrangement This last precau-
ton is obviously necessary to her effective
ness for the purpose intended. She is in
short represented as sort of steam ma
rine battering ram, or Roman beaked trre-
me, with the modern advantages of the
steam engine and Paixhan gun. Such is
briefly the literal description given of this
vessel: whether she will answer the expec-
tatons formed of her, cannot of course now
be told, but she will be ready for sea by
the LIST of December.

THE FRENCH ATLANTIC STEAMERS
The Paris correspondent of the National
lntelligencer, says:
"The fourteen French. transatlantic,
steamers, of $50 horse power, are in for
wardness: three have been launched, the
rest, it is believed, will be ready for sea
in the course of next year. Four besides,
of 200 are on the stocks. Twelve years
ago the French steam navigation was scarce
" worth mention. At present there are
thirty five vessels from 400 to go horse
power, twenty-five Of l60 or Whereabouts,
and nine of lower number. The Ministry
or Department of Finance employs, or
rather pays, ten steam packets; the Minis
try of War is constructing ten steamboats,
as transports, in which the soldiers will en-
Joy special accommodation. The whole
number of boats of different dimensions
employed by private or company enter
prise is given at three hundred

age.

POLLY PEABLossoM's WEDDING.--Under
this title the Georgia " Family Companion
relates an excellent story, of which we give
the closing scene. The Justice of the peace
called to marry the parties, was long on
his way-got lost--and was so taken up
after he arrived, in relating his impede
ments, that he forgot The marriage ceremony
as prescribed by the church.
He thought over every thing he had
learned "by heart" even.
'Thirty days hath the month of September
The same may be said ofJune, April, November"
but all in vain--he could recollect nothing
that suited such an occasion. A suppress
sed litter all over the room, admonished
him that he must proceed with something
and in the agony of desperation, he be-
gan:
:" Know all men by these presents, that
F'-bere he paused and looked up to the
ceiling, while an audible voice in a corner
OF the room was heardto say, He's draw
ing deed to tract of land" and they all
laughed.
In the name of God, Amenl"-he be-
gan second time, only to hear another
voice in loud whisper, say, s. He's max
his will now, thought he couldn't live long
he looks SO potcerfuI bad"
Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord
was the next essay, when some erudite
gentleman remarked, " He is not dead, but
sleepeth."
80 yes! o yes!" continued the Squire.
But the Squire was an indefatigabe man
and kept trying. His next effort was
+" To all and singular, the sher''-
Let's run! He's going to lerel on US,
said two or three at once.
Here CLEAN of light flashed across the
face of Squire Tompkins. That dignitarv
looked around all at once, with self salts
faction and in u grave and dignified man
ner said, Z" Mr.. Hodkins hold up your right
hand" George Washington obeyed and
held up his right hand. g Miss Polly, hold
up yours" Polly in her confusion held
up her left hand. &" The other hand, Miss
Peablossom." And the Squire proceeded
in a loud and composed manner to qualify
them. " You and each of you do solemn
ly swear, in the presence of Almighty
God and the present company, that you
will preform all and singular the functions
of a husband or wife, as the case may be,
to the best of your knowledge and ability,
SO help you God!''

blossom.
"Polly, my gal, come kiss your old

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1912.
CONGRESS-.

In the House, the eulogium of the Hon. Lewis
Williams was pronounced by his colleague,
Mr. Rayner. Mr. Adams begged the lndul-
rence of the House, that he might give vent to
hi, feeling, on the melancholy occasion.
After high eulogy on the character of the
deceased, he concluded with the remark that if
there be Northern bosom which cherlshes the
desire of disunion, let the delusion be dispelled
BY the thought, that in such an event he would
cease to be connected in the union of citizen
ship with the country which produced Lewis
Williams.
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, then made lau-
datory speech. The usual resolutions were
then passed, and the House adjourned.
In the Senate, Mr.. Graham made few APP
propriate remarks after the annunciation OF the
death of the Hon. Lewis Williams, and he was
followed by Mr.. Clay, who seconded the resolu-
lions which had been offered as tribute Of re-
spect to the memory of the deceased.
