OUTWARD BOUND.
By KATE CAMERON.

From the shining strand of childhood.
Ships went sailing long ago,
Laden with the richest treasures
Which my heart can ever know.
Thoughts as pure as morning dew drops,
Fancies like the rainbow gay,
Dreams as sweet as fairy music.
Hopes as blithe as birds in May.
But. though l have long been searching.
Youth s lost treasures ne'er are found.
And 1 send forth other ventures,
But they all are outward bound.
Outward bound, across the ocean.
Which so many leagues is spread;
Not ripple on the water,
Marks the track Ger which they sped.
Vainly watch for their coming,
Vainly scan the swelling main,
And I fear those fairy vessels
Will not greet my gaze again.
When call there is no answer
Echo only mOcks the sound,
Not a sail in the horizon
For they all seem outward hound
None come back with golden eargoes
None with tropic fruits appear
From the islands where Life's noon-tide
Makes a summer all the year
Soon the shades OF night will gather,
Soon Life's sky be overcast.
And then looking TO the Future.
shall half forget the Past
When my barque shall leave It's moorings,
When l, too, am outward bound.
In Eternity's calm haven,
Nv lost treasures shall be foundl

FRUIT ITEMs.-RepOrts from every sec
ton of the State show that. except in Gler
mont county, the peach crop has been al
most entirely cut off Already spectators
are in the market, paying literally in ad-
vance for this fruit, in anticipation of higl
prices in the fall. One gentleman in this
city has engaged several hundred bushels
of the farmers in ClermOnt county, at ono
dollar per bushel.
The inconvenience which will be caused
by the scarcity Of peaches, will be mad
up to a great extent by the abundance Of
grapes promised in every vineyard IN th'
country. We are assured that the crap
crop has scldom, if ever. looked better
this season of the year.-CiT. Gas

BusHIxd PRAs-A SUBsTITUTE.-Bush-
ing peas is considerable of a job even in
the country where brush is plenty, and
still more so in cities and villages, where
it is not. In view of this fact, L will give
YOUR readers my experience this year,
which if too late to be of use to them now,
they can make note of it for their bene-
fit next year. Stick stakes eight or ten
feet apart-the length and size of the
stakes should depend on the kind of peas
to be supported-aud stretch strong twine
from one to another, fastening it around
each one. commencing about one foot from
the ground and continuing it to the top u
the stakes at intervals of about the sami
distance. Lighter twiue may be used neat
the ground or all the way up, by setting
the stakes closer together-O. Farmer.

FARA PRoDUcE IN ST. LoUIs-The So, =
Louis Republican, speaking Of the depress-
ing effects of the war, says 'in this mar
ket potatoes cannot be given away at 6 -
cents per bushel; corn of the new crop will
90 down to Is cents, if it can be sold at
all; oats will Be worth nothing hay will
be drug, and wheat will not in all prob
ability. command over thirty to thirty-6yes +
cents" This affords an argument for
speedy termination Of the war BY its ViS
orous prosecution; but not for the aban- s
donment of the contest by the government.

GOSSIP ABOUT REPoRrERs.

For long time no accommodation was af-
forded to the reporters Of Parliamentary pro-
ceedings. On the contrary, they we're liable
TO be arrested If seen taking . note Of what
was said BY the Lords or Commons. The con-
sequence was that persons were to be found
capable OF remembering the substance Of de-
bate, such ss " n. Radcliffe, the husband Of
the celebrated novelist, and VIM. Woodfall,
who was known by the name Of g Memory
Woodfall." Then came another change, the
Introduction of several reporters for the same
paper change frst effected BY Mr.. Perry,
the proprietor Of The Morning Chronicle, to
whom, with Mr.. Walter of The Times, the
country Is indebted beyond all other persons,
for embodying that most remarkable class of
men, They were followed by Mr.. Thwaites of
The Morning herald, and then by The Morn
Ing Post. Mr.. Perry first established a corps
of Parliamentary reporters; but Mr.. Walter,
In forming Parliamentary corps, sought to
Improve its quality, and TO have the very best
men connected with his journal The induce
ments to young men to become Parliamentary
reporters brought into the gallery Mr.. W. H.
Russell, present American correspondent of
The Times, and Chas Dickens, whs never was
connected with The Times, but left The Mir
Tor Of Parliament, which paid guinea " .
turn" to become q regular Parliamentary re-
porter on The Morning Chronisle. The Edin-
burgh banquet, in 1884, to Earl Grey, is refer
red to as an instance Of what was effected by
newspapers in former times. Speeches were
delivered by Lord Brougham and Lord Dur
ham. To this banquet The Times and The
Chronicle sent their best Parliamentary re-
porters. The Times was represented by John
Tyas, Jas. Woods, Jas. Sheridan, and Eugene
Nugent; The Chronicle, by Thos. Beard and
Chas. Dickens. The Times won the race by
several hours, it. report being published in
London several hours before The Chronicle re-
perters-although travelling all the way in q
post-chase and four-could reach London.
The manner in which il was won was this /:
The Times, by sending so many reporters to
Edinburgh, calculated that on their return
they would have finished the account of the
banquet before they reached Wetherby; and
all the way from Wetherby. Mr.. Delane-the
manager of The Times, and the most marvel
had posted single horses to carry up with
a speed that can now only be surpassed by
an express railway train, the report, so
as to have il printed and circulated all over
London at an early hour in the morning
That trip alone cost the Chronicle f400.
Nearly all the parliamentary reporters who
were at that banquev are now dead. Two Of
them-Nugent and Sheridan-died very young.
Sheridan, who caught a cold by going outside
the chaiso to urge the post boys to q greater
speed, was cared for by the Times in his sick
ness, sent down to Deyonshire, and an ample
allowance to the day of bis death provided for
him. Upon Mr.. Woods retiring from the gal
lery, f300 q year was settled on him, and the
same sum was bestowed annually upon Mr..
Tyas, Of whom il may be remarked tiat he
was distinguished Greek scholar.

Inc recent instances OF characterization
among several regiments In the vicinity Of
Washington have awakened alarm and distrust
In many patriotic hearts. 1t may serve to quiet
forebodings and reassure the public mind to
know that this experience is not peculiar to
our ranks, bat Is q common incident to nearly
all great military operations. Well-disciplined
veteran soldiers, whose subsequent career has
been marked by bravery and success, have ex-
hibited like unhappy tendency to mutiny.
We cite single example,:
In the year 1872, at the request of the Duke
of Wellington, F. s. Larpent, Esq, a member
Of the English bar, was sent to Spain to act as
Judge Advocate General to the armies in that
| country. While serving in that capacity he
kept journal of passing incidents and wrote
| letters home describing his daily experiences.
The journal and letters were subsequently, pub
lished in three volumes-reprinted in 1853.
At his first audience the Duke placed In his
hands ffty cases against o6fcsrs-remarking
pretty army have here. They all want
to 60 home; but no more shall &c, except the
sick" Early in the journal we find it stated:
The breakings, hangings and foggings for
the recovery of discipline have been painfully
frequent" A short time sfterward Lord We'll
lington complained Of the difficulty Of obtain
ing convictions. "How can you," he asked,
expect court to find an officer guilty of ne
glect of duty when every member Of his COM
mand is guilty of the same offense?" "Yet in
the very month in which this remark was
made, says Mr.. Larpent, "we have hung six,
broke several officers, and fogged sixteen or
eighteen men-and we are still at work" At
the end Of another fortnight he speaks Of hav-
ing chung eight, transported eight or ten,
hogged so severely, and brske several officers. I"
All this, and much more of like character, is
told Of an army which met and conquered the
veteran troops Of France, led by the bravest
and most skillful Marshals of the Empire.
Doubtless the history of every large army
would show similar occurrences. While, then,
the recent outbreaks among our soldiers are to
be deplored, they do not afford grounds for seri-
Gus apprehensions of disaster to our cause; espe-
cially when we know that oar antagonists must
encounter still greater embarrassments of the
like character, since their soldiers are less
carefully provided for, and are burdened with
much greater causes for dissffection and dis
content.-ALbanv Euentnp Journal

TEE BELGIAS GOVERNMENT, having recently
proposed to expend nearly $1,000, 900 during
the next i've years In. the reconstruction Of
their artillery, have prepared q report on the
subject. After reviewing the progress Of all
the European nations In this direction, they
come to the conclusion to adopt breech-load-
ers on the Prussian system. They divide
rihed cannon into two classes, breech and muz-
zle-loading, and adopt the breech-loading be-
cause IL gives the most accurate fire, because
loading Is easier and less dangerous, because
1t has been tried with complete success In Bel
GUM, because 1t has been adopted by large
number OF foreign powers, because countries
which hastily rejected it have returned to it,
and because, after trial, they are convinced
that they can be made in Belgium as well as
In any foreign country. They recommend
steel instead Of bronze, as the better and
cheaper material in Belgium. This report has
called forth from N. Fourcault two pamphlets,
in which he compares the French and Prussian
systems of artillery. He says the Prussian
gun is loaded at the breech by means Of a COM
plicated mechanism, which consists Of four
pieces, worked by the aid Of chains and screws,
while the French gun is a single piece of metal,
without shadow Of ofcomplication. The French
gun requires only four operations for each dis
charge, while the Prussian requires eleven, the
emission Of any one Of which may render the
gun unseryiceable during the remainder Of the
battle. The breech-loading apparatus adds to
the length and weight Of the gun, which may
prevent il from being brought up 30 quick as
TIE lighter French guns. At the attack on
6in-HO, the French guns advanced, while the
Armstrong guns could not be brought forward
IN time. For the much greater liability of the
breech-loading guns to get out Of order, he
finds no compensation, as one hundred rounds
can be fred from French guns in quite as little
time ss frsm the Prussisn or English. The
iesd-cssted projectiles Of the Prussian and
English systems he thinks inferior to the hard
er metal Of the French, both for accuracy and
because Ii Is liable to peel of and kill outlying
riHsmen. The accuracy Of the French is equal
TO that Of the Prussian. In regard to the cost,
the price Of bronze cannon is the same as that
of cast steel, but the breech- loading mechan-
ism increases this by about $3.50. Old cast
steel is almost worthless, while old bronze is
worth from 20 to IS cents q pound. To replace
the 6-pounder bronze cannon Of Belgium with
cast steel will cost about $500 per gun, while
the present guns can be rifed for little more
than dollar piece. Besides this the Prus-
sian breeoh-losder requires more artillerymen
than the French muzzle- e-loader, and the French
projectile IL cheaper than the Pruseisn by
about so cents each on 6-pound shot.

TIE UsB OF BALLOONS which has been made
in reconnoitering at Washington and Fortress
Monroe seems not to have been continued at
Ball Run. Had balloon been sent up from
Centeryille in the morning, and kept floating
above the oenter Of our army during the day,
IL u very probable that the fire of the three or
four batteries which was wasted on our left in
feint 70 which the enemy paid no attention,
would have been directed 10 points where it
would have told on the fate Of the day. Every
body remembers the use which the French
Emperor made Of Godard and his balloon in
reconnoitering in the italian campaign. The
only battle in which balloon floating over the
field was used to give information to the COM
manding General. is that Of Fleurus, which
was fought In June, l794 In that battle, which
secured all Belgium to the Republican armies
Of France, 10000 French, under Jourdon, were
opposed to liz, 900 Allies, under the Prince Of
Coburg. The French we're scattered along q
ssmi-circle line, Is or Is miles in length, both
wings resting en- the Sambre. OF the ten, ,di-
visions Of French engaged, six were already
retreating, and the Imperialists were sliding
their rear troops from the center to tho left, to
cut OF the retreat acrsss the river. This move.
ment was readily perceived by the aeroststs,
Who reported it by telegraphio signals to Gen.
Jourdan, enabling him TO send q sufficient force
to the support Of the retreating right wing Of
the French army to turn the tide Of battle.
AT this time Jourdan was in the center-front
