A Modern VIM. Tell.

The following piece of daring sport il
related by the Albany Transcripts:
The feat in shooting performed by Tel

son, has been told over and over again
and is as familiar as household words

similar was attempted and successfully
performed in the village of Pittstown,

IiberateIy raised his rife. drew a fine bead
on the potato. and discharged his piece
at arms length No one expected tha,
he would do it, and for moment, con

ces of the bystanders. until Grogan. put

any blood ?" ....
II was found that Grogan was not dead
but that the potato had been cut in twain

Prince of wales soundly rhrashed.

Prince of Wales SoundIy Thrashed.
The Birmingham. England, journal,
prints the following account of hogginy
OF the Prince of Wales received from a
poor boy:
During her Majesty's residence. some
years ago. at Osborne. in the Isle Of
Wight. her children were accustomed to
ramble on the seashore. Now. it so hap.
pened on one occasion that the young
Prince OF Wales met boy who had been
gathering sea shells. The boy had got
basket full. The young Prince presutning
upon his high position. thought himself
privileged TO do what he pleased with i'm
punity. So without any notice he upset
the basket and shells. The poor lad was
very indignant and observed You do
that again, and I'll lick you." "Put the
shells into the basket" said the Prince.
f" and see il / DON'T" The shells were
gathered up and put into the basket
Now" said the lad. "touch 'em again
old fellow if you dare whereupon the
Prince again turned over the shells. And
the lad pitched into him" and gave him
such licking as few Princes ever had.
His lip was considerably cut open, bis
nose knocked considerable out OF its per.
pendicuIar. and his eyes Of color which
might have we'll become the champion Of
prize ring. His dis6gured countenance
could not well be concealed from his roy
al mother. She inquired the cause of his
Disagreement. The Prince was silent.
but at last confessed the truth. The poor
boy was asked to tell the story. He did
SO in a very straight forward Manner
AT its conclusion, turning TO her child,
the Queen said "you have been rightly
served sir. Had you not been sufficiently
punished already. should have punished
you severely. When you commit like
offence. trust you will always receive a
similar punishment" Turning to the
poor boy. she commanded his parents 70
her presence the following morning.
They came; the result of the interview
was that her Majesty told them that she
had made arrangements for educating
and providing for their son, and she ho.
ped he would made good use OF the ad.
vsntages which should be placed within
his reach.

'pADRE yIDJIL. !

The New Orleans Delta Of the 7th inst.
contains following sketch of Padre

minister at Washington gsga,- !. ~.
1t will be perceived from our special
correspondent, published in the Delta oi
Monday morning. that Padre Vid5il has
been selected by the governmet OF Pad.

.to,the q nited States, for which his expe-
rience, capacity. and energy eminently

Padre Vidjn is a remarkable man. and
enjoys a greater reputation. as a thinker

at home or abroad. He is now in the
maturity OF his powers. being forty nine
Or hity years OF age. and has improved
his natural, acute and searching intellect
by comprehL nsive aud various observa.
lions vi men, manners, and things.
The Padre was at one time, II lawyer,
pracIicin9, we believe. in Grenada, and
enjoyed great prestige as an accom-
pllshed jurlSt aud Skllful speaker, be-
ing as effective IN court as in chambers,
in pleading as in advice. He became
connected with some Of the political
movements which agiLated Central Amer
lca. periodically, anu had tu choose be-
tween exile and death as the penalty Of
his patriotism. or his rashness. or his am
bition, or whatever it may be called. Ac>
cordingly he had TO leave Central
America and WAS refused the privilege Of
returning in the character OF II lawyer, or
a soldier, or q politician. Only one roll
remained which he could play with All
adequate chance Of success, aud in due
time he resolved to perform it, and ap
peared in his native country under The
protection OF the Chulch. and in the sur.
pIice and stole Aof the priest. A priest
might act Ms u lawyer when occasion re.
quireS, but it is somewhat novel to fad q
lawyer with sufficient hardinood to be-
come a priest.
In his new capacity the Padre
won many friends. aud rapidly rose to
distinction in the ecclesiastical world, ST
curing universal respect by his talents,
his charity and his unquesIiOuable virtues.
In diplomacy he soon distinguished him
self AS such AS in theology and we see
the practical result ot his sagacity in her
recent appointment which he has receiv-
ed from the revolutionary government OF
Nicaragua. Personally the Padre is q
very accomplished Individual. with a
spIended ply sical as we'll rs mental or
ganiza.ion. He is said TO be one of the
handSomest men ia Nicaragua. With his
fine we'll balanced head, his stately bear

phrase OF KIomer.) all the diplomIsts, for

MASONIC BUkIAL AT SEA.

During the recent trip of the Steamer
Empire City from Havana to this port,
an incident occurred which left a deep
and permanent impression on the minds
of all who were on board. Death is at
all times. a fearful thing; but when the
King Of Terrors claims his own upon sea.
and fully sewers the associations which
invariably connect those who journey to-
gether upon the great deep. peculiar
feeling is experienced that fingers upon
the mind. and causes one to remember
wildly for years. what would. under 9TH
er circumstances. pass away like the sum
mer breeze. leaving little or no trace upon
the memory.
The same day the steamer left Havana,
April llth. it was reported to Capt. Win
die that one of the cabin passengers, Mr..
Joseph Waterman. formerly Of Galveston,
Texas. had died at three o'clock. OF con.
sumption. and that according to the GUS
tomary usages. observed at sea, the re-
mains were placed in hammock and laid
upon the quarter deck, ia order to be bu-
ried at sunset. The deceased was d Roy
al Arch Mason. formerly attached to a
Lodge Of the fraternity in the city OF Gal
weston. and as there were several of the
mystic tie on board of the steamer it was
resolved that she deceased should be inter
ed with the Masonic honor peculiar TO the
Order.
Il formal demand was made upon Capt
Windle for The remains who promptly ac>
ceded TO the request, with that urbanity
which is SO marKing a trait in his charac
ter as gentleman. and as the sun was

were placed iu charge of such of the Fra
ternity as were on board, to be buried by
them with the last sad right peculiar 10
the institution. ..
The remains which had been covered
BY the United States dag. were laid upon
plank at the stern OF the steamer, and
as the ships bell began to toll the inter>
walls. the brethren formed circle around
the corpse, when the Masonic burial SER
vice was beautifully delivered by Past
Master. J. A. Elliot, Of New York, who
presided as master on this occasion. The
ceremony, beautifully impressive at all
times, was remarkably SO on this Occa.
