Green, the Diver.

! The New York Courier and En-

of the descent of Green, the diver
;! to the sunken ship Atlantic, lying
at the bottom of Lake Erie. Poor
Green! his daring was too severely
punished:
Not many months since, vessel
was lost in water whose depth at
the place of the ioundering was
about ia feet. There was por-
| tion ofthe cargo so valuable that it
became advisable to use every posi-
bic effort to recover it. 1t was
scarcely possible 70 do anything
1t was far beyond all ordinary means
of human action; it might be reached,

Singular Disease.

A latter from South Florida TO the

and fatal disease has broken out
among the deer Of that section:
"They are found dead IN every

is now scarcely sign Of one to be
seen where they were before ,numer-

instances, suddenly--full aeshed and

disease, and are found to have sore or
rotten mouth and tongue. I. have
seen numbers myself within the last
ten or twelve days. The cattle are
also similarly affected, but not yet
so fatally. They have sore mouth
and tongue, covered by thick, dark
scurf, and walk like a badly founder.

The Cap Of Liberty.

A very good account of the histo-
;ry of this emblem was given on the
9th inst, by Hon. VIM. McMurray
on the presentation of a new Liberty
Cap to the Tammany Society of New
York City: The cap, as symbol of
Liberty, is of very ancient date
From time immemorial students en-.
tering colleges and universities have
had given them cap, denoting that
they had passed from under the rod of
the schoolmaster, and were invested
with the privileges and responsible
ties Of Liberty. The custom was de-
rived from the cermony in usage a.
mong the ancient Romans servos ad
pileum rocare, wherein a cap was
placed with solemn ceremony upon
the head OF the manumiIted slave, in
token of his emancipation and eleva-
ton to the dignity of citizenship
The pileus was felt hat or cap, made
to fit close to the head, and shaped
like the half of an egg, and very
nearly resembled the one now presen-
ted you. No symbol of Liberty is
so ancient nor has been so generally
adopted as the cap. The arms of
the Swiss cantons have bat or cap for
a crest, and the symbol has played an
important part in the struggles of that
brave people. In England a blue
cap with a white border, and the in
scription Liberty in letters of gold,
is the indicia of constitutional liberty.
So the 6onaet rouge was used in France
at the beginning Of the French revo-
luton in 1889, and subsequently, be-
CAME the badge Of membership Of
the Jacobins. The cap is also the
symbol of bravery, for in Rome it
was likewise conferred upon success
full gladiators. On ancient medals.
as also upon our national coins, the
cap Of Liberty is upheld by the hand
of a woman, signifying that 50 great
"a boon conferred by God on a favored
people should be exercised in spirit
Of peace, love and good will to men.

Of wines, he says, that not one

Those called Sherry, Port and Nal

horse radish, and some Of them
without a drop of alcohol.
In his inspection of whiskey, To-
stead of 40 to 90 per cent ofalco-

some, he found enough sufphuric acid

Power of the United States.

A Berlin correspondent Of the New
! York Herald, referring to the late diff
iculties between Great Britain and
: the United States, says:
f No little alarm has been excited in
the commercial world by the threat
ened difficulty between America and
England, which, however. is allayed
by the conviction that John Bull will
knock under and not suffer the quar-
rel to proceed to extremities. What
La curious spectacle it is to see on the
one side the United States, without
fleets, without armies, without for
tresses or arsenals, and on the other
the monarchial nations Of Europe,
armed to the teeth,- their shores bris-
tlipg with cannon and their resources
lavishe3 on enormous military and
naval establishments, and yet when.
ever a dispute arises with the young
giant of the West, they all turn pale,
back out of the fray as quick as pos
sible, and leave Jonathan master Of
the field. He seems perfectly de.
fenceless, open on every side to at
tack, and withouta a single friend to
take his part, and yet they stand in
such awe of him that even English
diplomatists, usually so imperious and
oyerbearing in their transactions with
foreign nations, are as gentle and for
bearing towards him as any member
Of the Peace Society, and submit to
insult with, the most amb-like pa
tience. Is it because John Bull, who
crews so loud on his own dnnghill,
finds that Jonathan can crow still
louder than he?-or is it the secret
power of republican institutions that
inspire their possessors with conf
dence and intrepidity which strikes
terror to the hearts of their enemies,
and makes shem hesitate to arouse
the spirit of a people whose bold atti.
tudc appears the more formidable and
mysterious from the paucity of the
means employed to support their, In
tsntions? I believe the explanation
has been given by the English histo-
rian Allison, who says that although
the superior military and naval /
strength of Great Britain would en-i
able her to inAict the most serious
blow upon America at the comme nee
ment of the war, "the extraordinary
yigor of the American people and
their native courage" would be sure
TO render them successful in the end.
The ahief reason of the reluctance
of foreign cations to 60 to war with
the United States, is their depen-
dence upon this country for cotton,
bread, and for luxuries wich habit has
made almost necessities. Moreover,
a wide ocean rolls between and sup
plies the place of extensive fortifica-
tions. No power but our own can
FEVER make enormous military estab-
lishments necessary, and deprive US
of the ability to remain in continual
peace beneath our own vine and fig
| tree.

A SLEEPING JURoR.--A woman
named Alice Finlay was convicted
in Buffalo on Saturday for robbery
The trial took place on Friday; the
jury retired in the afternoon, and did
not agree until II o'clock at night.
The Republican says that when the
prisoner was brought up for sentence
on Saturday, Mr.. Josiah Cook, coun-
sci for defendant, demanded a new
trial for his client, on the ground that
one of the jury was asleep several
times during the giving Of testimony,
and that he was prepared to prove
such to be the fact by the, affidavits
Of eleven witnesses. Judge Masten
gave Mr, Cook till Monday TO pre-
pare papers and afidayits. There
publican adds: sIt will be a. pity if
this wretch gets off from jnstice
through the drowsiness of juror,
though We should scarcely wonder il
the entire jury should go to sleep
this close and sultry weather listen
ing to the dry details Of a robbery,
and the still dryer points and argu-
ments Of courts and attorneys.
