from their ditch. carry their owR trenches within
lew yards from that paltrY oeience. which was
formidable only because the bravest men that
ever lived held it. 50 near was the Russian ditch
that the engineers threv, the earth by sLovelstul
into the Arnout ditch. This was effected with
an enormous loss TO the besiegers. On one oc-
casion q Major Emmena. gigantic Hungarian,
issued from the diLch leaning on the pole of a
wagon, and challenged the Russians in The other
ditch 10 come ont and fight him. They accepted
the challenge by taking hold Of one of his legs
and endeavoring to drag him into their quarters
But the Arnouts took hold Of his other leg and
pulled him in their direction, while Major En-
mana, totally unconcerned. fogrished his heavy
pole and laid j! on tie Russians. Skulls were
cracked and bones broken Whenever that tormid-
able weapon descended. and thus being freed from
his assailants, the Afnouts drew Major Emmena
over 10 their own side. This gallant officers life
was saved on this occasion only to be lost on an
other.
Three DAYS after the Titanic combatin the Ar
nout ditch; the Russians dispatched two of their
formidable storming columns of eight battaons
each aganstthe Arab Ia5ia, and by the mere
physical weight OF these masses forced their way
in. hana-tohand engagement ensued in the
interior of the Tabia, waen the Turks fought with
the fury OF madmen AID the agility OF serpents.-
The Russians, meanwhile. sought to secure TIE
cannon Perhaps they mcditated a retreat and
wished to carry off at least some trophies from
Silistra. They had ropes with them. which they
tied to one of the pieces, and then commenced
pulling it through the embrasHre into the ditch
below. Major Emmena the attempt, rushed
up to the gun and held it back. \ Russian officer,
almost equal in size and strength to the HGnga-
rian, attacked and wounded Major Emuena Just
as he was eating the ropes. The two strong
men theE turned against each other. They fought
and fell. When the Arabs had driven the Ras-
SLAMS back and cleared the Tabia. the two antag-
onists were found dead by the side OF the gun.

The Theory in Relation 10 Hurricanes

The Galveston News of the 10th ult, furnishes
some interesting information in the following ar
ticle:
We learn from Capt. Nichols who came up on
Sunday by the Louisiana. that in the late storm
at Decrows Point ami Sauria. the most violent
wind blew from the n. W This was on Mon
day night the 18TH This wind forced the wa
ter out Of the bay in such an immense body that
there was not room for it in the channel, and it
was from this cause that the water cut away
Decrow's Point TO such extent. But what APP
pears somewhat singular is, that at the very same
time monday nigh;) the wind at Saluria and
Decrow's was blowing gale from the northwest,
it was blowing perfect hurricane at Matagorda
from the northwest. At the same time the wind
in this city was blowing from nearly west. At
least informed by some of our pilots that
on Monday at 10 P NJ, the wind was here about
W. 5. w, and on Tuesday, at 10 A. NJ. it had
hauled to the uOrthward and was W. n. W., at
which time the gale had subsded.
The changes of the wind at this place are stat
ed about as follows: Monday. 10 o'clock A. NJ
n E.; O'Clock P NJ, S. S. W.; 10 o'clock p NJ,
W. S. w; Tuesday, 10 o clock 4. NJ. ". n. w.
Here, it is seen, that the wiHd charged around
with the sun: while at Saiuria, Capt Nichols says,
the change the opposite way, from n. w on
Monday morning. about two points farther to-
wards the west on Tuesday mornings when it
was w. S. w.
We have recorded the above particulars. be-
cause we have recently seen an article from Prot.
Silimau's Journal, going 10 establish a certain
theory in relation TO hurricanes based entirely on
well authenticated facts very similar to the above.
The writer entertains the opinion that the theory
OF hurricanes, when fully Established, wall enable
marGers at to escape the frequent disasters to
which they are now exposed From wat we
have been able to learn, we believe the wind was
very different fifty or one hundred miles interior
from what it was on the coast; and also very dit
ferert out on The Gulf ire m what il was on the
coast OF Inland.

TaDGR Items,

The sloop-ofwar Saratoga, which has arrived
at Boston, gives through one OF her officers, some
interesting facts respecting the Japanese. The
Saratoga, was at Jeddo for considerable time;
The Japanese at Dinaer-It was exceedingly
difficult to obtain any kind of meat in the coun-
try. although the Japanese were very willing to
parta Ike OF the meats that were offered on board
the ship. The most part of their food consisted
of shrimps or craw-fsh, and dish the Americans
supposed to be a species of snake. but which was
probably kind OF fish. TEey have custom at
the table which shows that they take thought for
the morrow; after eating they deliberately pro-
ceed to take away with them any article of food
of which they are especially fond, and for this
purpose provide themselves with paper wrappers
previous TO dining. At dinner given by the OIL
ficers of the ship day, chief carefully envel-
oped whole chicken in number OF papers, and
carried it off, first offering papers to others for
similar use. Their mode OF cooking is doubtless
more pleasing to themselves than to our people,

A Riddle.

Every newspaper reader must have been pug
zled Tor months past with the tangled thread of
New York politics. Nobody has vet been able
to uaravel it, Conventions of politicians have as
sembled at different times to construct platforms
and pledges for the confding people, and some of
them have put together such odd machinery that
not even the inventors can tell the meaning.
though the object is plain enough. The following
article, which we hnd transferred to the Mont
