AN INTERESTING INCIDENT OF

TIE LAST WAR WITH ENGLAND.
The Americans are probably The most re-
markable people on earth for promptness
and preparation for war after il exists. A
valuable corps Of 100000 men. armed,
equipped, and disciplined, can be ready for
The field in thirty days after war is declar-
cd, and SO it may be said Of ships Of war
We will state one fact illustrative Of this
position. During the war with England,
aud while stationed on the Barbary coast,
we we're surprised one day, while explor
ing the ruins Of Carthage, to see a sharp
clipper-built schooner under full sail, with
the American flag floating TO brisk breeze,
doubling Cape Bon, and making direct for
the Bay. We rode down TO the fortress Of
Gole,,o, ordered launch to be made ready,
and found ourselves alongside the schooner
jus. as she had cast anchor.
"Whers arc you from, sir?s
"From Boston, replied the captain, a
smart da.hing- looking young follow.
"ln what passage?"
"Twenty-lhree days, sir.'
We began To have our misgivings.-
Twenty three days from Boston? We sus.
pected she had been fitted out at Marseilles
10 cruise in the Mediterranean. 1t was the
Abelcnc, Capt. Wyer, Of six guns and seven,
~. five men-a magnificent little craft
We went down into the trunk cabin.
snow, sir" said the captain, "l'll con-
vince you that We are from Boston, and vii!
show you Boston notions Of every kind,
from pumpkins and smoked herrings down
10 wooden nntmegs." He soon filled the
table with all the good cheer and solid COM
forts with which the Bos,onians know SO
we'll how furnish ship. Sand here,' said
he. sis the Boston Cen,inel, Major Russesl's
paper" All doubts were now at an end
and while we had been partaking offare 10
which we had long been observation-disclosures.
" fare, but more welcome OH that account
! the captain said;
"If YOU are surprised at our short pass
age so far up the Mediterranean, what vii!
you say when tell you it is just sixty days
since the keel ofthis vessel was laid in Bos,
ton vet here we are!'' We could scarcely
credit it.
"Nay, that's not all, sir," continued
Capt. Wyer. "On my way here, off Gag
iari, captured two large British ships fl
led with valuable cnrgoes, and orderedth
for this port. They will bo here tomorrow
morning"
"What! in a neutral port, in which the
British exercise unlimited influence? They
will never permit us to sell the cargocs."
.sWell, sir we can only ytry."
Sure enough, next morning early, the
ancient city OF Tunis, honored once by the
presence Of Scipio Africnnus, Hannibal, and
other distinguished personngcs known to
history. was thrown into the grentest com
motion on seeing two largo and deeply Ia
den ships entering the port, the stars and
stripes floating over the union J'ck. u

SCIENCE AND RaILHoAOS.

men,s, then asceriains all the levels md
grades. The engineer examines these re-
suits 70 determine whether tho power OF
steam, in connection with the best comhinc.
ton of machinery, vii! enable him 10 over
come the elevations and descend the de-
clvi,es in safety. lie then calculates tho
curves OF the road, the excavaiions and FL
lngs, the cost Of the bridges and tnnncls, it
there are any; and then adjusts the stenm-
power TO meet tho conditions. IN few
months after The enterprise IS undertakes,
The loconotive, with its long train OF pas.
sengers and freiph, cars, rushes over tho
track with snperhuman power; and h'fils
the Office Of uniting distant places in com.
merciai nni social relations.
But that which is most striking in al
this, is tho fact, that before stump ia

ontre plan Of the work, having been sub.
iccted TO Careful! analysis, is fully developed
in all its part The construction is but tho
