THE STUFF YANKEES ARE MADE Or
The latest instance of Yankee persever-
ance occurred in Boston. A merchant
there had pile of lumber on the dock,
which was to be shipped at once. The
day before shipment, it showed and COW
cred the lumber up. A gang of labor.
ers could not be had, and what to do he
didn't know. He was accosted by a
young man to know the time, when he
asked him why he did not carry watch.
The young man said he could not afford
It. The merchant told him he would
give him his watch worth 5000 if he
would dig the boards out by breakfast
time. The young man attempted the
task, and accomplished it, working by
moonlight all night, and the next days
sun shone upon the scene of his labors,
displaying vast pile of boards over two
hundred feet in length, fifty in width,
and six in height. Having accomplish
ed his task, he shouldered his shovel and
marched home to breakfast, after which
he repaired to the counting room of the
astonished merchant for the prize which
he had so fairly earned. The latter
promptly paid the forfeit. The young
man is a. Bostonian, about twenty-onf
years of age, and unused to laborioui

Gen. Walkers Position.


We give a place in our columns this
morning to the report brought from Mic.
aragua by Col. Sturges, to the effect that
Walkers position is not desperate, that
he is about to retake the boats on the
river, and that the costa Itic:.ns weir
deserving to his standard. For very
good reasons we place no reliance or
these rumors. If there were no other
indications, the fact that they are greed
lily snatched at by Walkers friend here
as grounds of hope, would alone suffice
to show that he is at the last gasp. But
we have information from another source
which we consider more trustworthy
that dissipates all probability that reen
forcements from this side can reach the
now surrounded and doomed fillibusters
The forts on the San Juan River have
been put into thorough order by the
Costa Ricans, under the direction of the
Americans and Europeans who are en-
gagged with them. Fort San Carlo.
alone, with a garrison of 400 men, has
seven pieces of cannon-one or two o
them carrying 24-lb. ball-and an abun
dance OF ammunition, captured on boars
a river steamer along with arms said t.
have been sent out by our fellow citizen
Mr.. George Law. The Cartillo fort, anC
the intrenchmcnts at the mouth of tht
Sarapiqui, are also obstacles of some ac
count in the path of an invading party
on their way up the river.
The idea of recovering the river boat.
is delusion. They have been taken VI
the Sarapiqui, great part of the machin
cry taken out, and a guard put on board
with instructions and arrangements Il
set them on fire the instant there is any
danger of their recapture by filibusters
There remains at Greytown precarious
and fragile stern-wheel steamer of small
capacity. 1t could hardly serve to car
/ ~ force up the river, even were there
no hindrances in the way. But, abov,
all, it should not be forgotten that Walk
er cannot move from Rivas, or from St
George, two miles distant from Rwas, a
one Of which places he now is, even Il
obtainImeans Of sustaining life. The loss
of the two lake boats, San Carlos anG
Virgin has deprived him of the mobilit,
which for some time had been his chic
resource. The Island Ometepe, in tn,
lake, fifteen miles from Rivas, and the
coast Of Chontales opposite, some fifty
miles distant, have supplied him viii
provisions; but now, with his boats anG
schooner lost, the strong northeast gales
which prevail on the lake at the close OF
the rainy season and render its naviga
ton impracticable to bungos, viii abso
lutely conine him to Rivas. He can ne
longer procure food to supply the mer

him. We see no alternative for him bu
to capitulate or starve.
