The Dark DAY.

The dark day was on the 10Th of May.
1880. Where / resided at that time, the
darkness at eleven O'Clock was so great that
candle was lighted and placed on the ta-
BILE the fowls went TO roost the sheep all
huddled around in circle with their heads
inward. The grass, to look at through the
window, seemed of a yellow green, the
same as to look through smoked glass upon
green grass.
well remember that the gentlemen OF
the house read the following scripture by a
candle to his numerous family.
.The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before the g eat
and notable day of the Lord come.'
The darkness was so great in the night
time that it was said by ore Doctor Black
ington, who resided near the northern part
of Rehoboth, who had occasion to be out
among sick patients that night, that he could
not see his white pocket handkerchief
placed before his eyes. The darkness was
SO thick that it could be felt.
The year 1880 was celebrated for its
many northern lights; they covered the
whole horizon over they would flash like
lightning, and fill the air with the smell of
sulphur. The lights were so red. that the
flashes would bring warmth against the face.
The great snow fall was in December,
1879, or January, 1880. 1t showed seven
days; the snow was estimated to be four
feet on the level, and the drifts from eight
10 ten feet high. The snow came moist
and coarse. and it was SO cold that il con-
gealed very hard. The people travelled
over stone walls with their teams. 1t il
!. said to he fact that fer thirty days the

snow did not melt from the caves on the
sunny side. The banks were so high that
sheep were buried up in them, and there
remained for forty days, until they were
found by their air holes and dug out alive.
This year the whole of the Narraean-
sett Bay was frozen over so thick and hard
that the late Hon. John Brown passed from
Providence on the river Of ice to Newport
and back, and believe some went on skat-
ing parties the whole range. Gen. William
Valentine sleighed wood from Fall River
to Newburyport on the ice, through Bris-
tel Ferry.
The people Of Newport burnt their fur
niiure to keep themselves from freezing.
The British army had left the Island Of
Rhone Island in November, l71y, ana STRIP
ped the people Of all their valuables. In
manner the years 1879 and 1880 were the
hardest winters known for century last
past.
The weather was so severe in the winter
of 1880, that many people were frozen to
death. A man went from Aitleborough,
Mass, with load of hoops to Boston. was
caught in great storm, and returning home
was frozen to death, coming off Boston
Neck. His OK team was frozen TO death,
and was found standing on their feet, as the
snow was deep enough to support them

Mr.. BEEcHER BEFORE THE LIVERPOOL
MoB.-An extract of a private letter from
Liverpool, says of Mr.. Beecber's triumph
over the secession mob there:
Never was public speaker of character
greeted with such an outrageous voiley OF
abuse and insult as was poured out on him.
Yet he stood erect and bold as lion, and
he shouted out his words at the top of his
voice, as it was absolutely necessary he
should do in order to be heard at all. His
New England accent in certain words was
mimicked to the great amusement OF his OPP
ponents. Wooden hams and nutmegs we're
cried out at him, and all sorts of insulting
questions screamed out, but he went on
without regarding them. never was an
admirer of Beecher before, but l am now.
A man who could stand up in foreign
country, before thousands who thoroughly
detest him and his cause, and speak as he
spoke, is certainly something of a hero.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE BATTLE OF
FAIR OAKs.-Gen. Thomas F. Meagher,
in his lecture in Boston, painting in hispic-
turesqup, eloquent style the deeds of the
Irish brigade of the army of the Potomac.
thus alluded to the opportunity for possess
ing Richmond, after the battle of Fair Oaks.
which daring saw and burned to seize, but
which hesitating caution in the commander
in-cliief threw away
At midnight the head Of the column
reached the field where Sedgwick's division,
rapidly coming up before sundown, had met
and checked the enemy. The night was
the blackest he had known. Had it been
clear, the scene might have been dismaying;
bnt the dawn revealed it all. Richmond
was with four miles of them. One OF the
pioneers of the Goth New York-formerly
a sai]or--an immense, shaggy, iron-built
fellow, with a tanned skin and tempestu-
GUS eye, agile and daring as tiger-dart-
ing up towering pine-saw the dome OF
the capitol flashing through the sme ke OF
| the city, the church-spires and shining frag-
ments Of The bridges over the James river.
/ The object Of the enemy was to drive them
/ from the railroad, back TO the Chickahomi-
ny. and into ii If possible. Met by Sedg-
| wick on the rightly French and How
are on the center--the Irish brigade sup
porting those gallant and accomplished Off
cers-met by Kearney on the left-bafhed,
broken, routed at all three points at the one
and the same time-at noon that day the
q ebel forces were pursued by Hooker, Sic
kles' brigade being foremost. Had he beer
permitted, Hooker would have followes
them into Richmond. Kearney was mac
for the pursuit. SO was Sumner. So wa.
French. Never could he forget the fierce
. ness with which Gen. Kearney used te
!, speak of that day-never forget how hi;
quick stormy, imperious eye used to flash
in its lighinings-never forget how that
4 proud frame OF his, used to swell with ve-
hement vexation, with furious impatience,
/ with savage resentment almost-as he spoke
of the opportunity which had been cast to
the idle winds that day. A splendid SOL
dier, full of animation. full Of electricity,
full of daring, he could not brook the eau
tion which satisfied itself with half victo-
4 ry; and infamed with faith in enthusiasm
and rapid action, >chated and beat the air
with anger when tanner policy prevailed"

The Crowned Skeleton.

Aix-la- Chapelle in Germany, derives its
name from the tomb of Charlemagne. He
gave instructions that when he died he
should be buried in royal position; not
PROSTATE as slumbering dust, but seated in
the attitude of ruling monarch. He had
the mausoleum erected over the sepuichre
at Jerusalem In tomb within this chap
el he was placed upon throne. The gos-
pels, which / suppose he had often read
whilst living, he wo-ld appear to study
thoroughly after he was dead. He direct
ed they should be laid upon his knees be-
fore him. BY his side was his sword up
on his head was an imperial crown, and
royal mantle covered his ifeless shoulders.
Thus was his body placed and did remain
for about 1870 years. One of his successors
resolved he would see how Charlemagne
looked, and what had become of the riches
that adorned his tomb. Nearly 1000 years
after Christ, the tomb was opened by the
emperor Otho. The skeleton form of the
body was found there, dissolved and dis
membered; the various ornaments speak
of were all there too; but the frame had
sunk into fragments, the bones had fallen
disjointed and asunder, and there remained
nothing but the CHASTITY skull wearing its
crown still The various relics were taken
up and are now preserved at Vienna and
they have often since been employed in the
coronation of the Emperors of Germsy
in order to satisfy their greatness ap'''"e
being successors TO Charlemagne

An INCIDENT OF THE New YORK RI
or" Mother they may Kill the body,
but they cannot touch the soul was the
language used by poor Abraham Franklin,
as he was borne from the presence of his
mother by the barbarous mob. on the morn
ing of the 18th of July. This young man,
aged twenty-three, had been an invalid for
about three years, and was confined con-
sumptive. When the mob broke into the
house, they found him in bed. They bore
HIM into the street. and there, although he
had not raised finger against tbem-in-
deed, was not able to do so-they beat him
TO death, hanged him to lamp post, cut his
pantaloons off at the knees, cut bits Of flesh
out of his legs, and afterwards set fire to
him All this was done beneath the eyes
of his widowed mother. Such an exhibi-
ton of blood-thirstiness is without parallel
in the history of crime. Patrick Butler
and George Glass, both Irishmen, the lat
ter fifiy-three years Of age, have been ar
rested for the murder of Mr.. Franklin

THE GREAT IRoy-CLAD q" DICTATnE Prom
visit yesterday to the Captain of Erricssors great
ocean iron-cad, the Dictator building at the Dea-
mater Iron Works, foot Of West Thirteenth street,
we learned that this, the most formidable vessel-of
war vet devised, will be finished and launched Oh
the lst of October. She is 3l2 feet long, 80 feet
beam, and 22 feet depth of hold. She will have
one turret, two immense wrought-iron guns, car
rying from so to 100 pounds ofpowder. The
frame and plates of the hull are entirely finished,
deck beams all in, and the planknG is being laid.
With the beautiful lines of the vessel and the i'm
mense engines that are being put into her. the
builders confidently expect that she will sail over
l8 miles an hour. The ram extends 30 feet, Is
perfectly solid, and is very much strengthened by
the sponsors. Her bow is as sharp as aneedle, as
is also her stern, SO that she can RAM at either
end. Her armor is three feet of solid oak and lOa
inches of iron, siX plates being Tapped on to the
oak. The armor is two feet above the water. line,
and goes down six feet. The two upright cylin-
ders, the largest ever constructed for screw steam
ers in this country, or perhaps in any other coun-
try, are set in the vessel. They are lC0 inches in
diameter, and feet stroke Of piston.
The propeller is % feet in diameter, 81 feet ptch
and fourbaded. 1t is the largest cast in this
country, and weighs over 39,Oos pounds. IL is
ready to be connected to the shaft which is being
set in position. The screw and therudder are pro-
tected by the usual overhanging in the monitor
vessels. The turret and plot-horse arc construc-
ted on the new Ian dispensing with ihrcush-bois
