The Courier des Etats Uns relates an an.
ecdote by the way Of satire upon the colt
fures that prevail at the present day. One
of the enfdnts terrible that utter 80 many
profound sayings in the midst of so much
nonsense, was busy sprinkling the head of his
little sister, a baby of three years, with earth,
which afterwards he piled up in an artistic
manner. All at once his mother appeared.
"What are you about, you scamp putting
earth on your little sisters head!" "Yes
mamma, am going to make little garden
under her hat, like yours dark"

AN EPISCOPAL PKAYER.-A young lady,
employed in teaching district school some'
where in Ohio, wished to open the school
with prayer, and, for that purpose, asked the
consent Of the trustees. 1t was given read.
ly, on one condition, that the prayer should
not be "sectarian." The condition was &C
cepted. After some weeks, the school mis-
tress was summoned to attend the trustees
Complaint had been made that the daily
prayer, contrary to conditions was ''sectari

of the charge. She was "cIad in concious
innocence" She asked for the specification.
A grave Trustee arose and stated that he
was sorry to be obliged to testify that he
himself had heard 'sectarian" prayer
while visiting" the school, "Well, what
was i,!" 1t was an Episcopal prayer" "He
had read it in the Episcopal Prayer Book"
"Impossble," was the reply. "Repeat it;

singular Coincidence at GaIvenstou.


A Richmond correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury relates the following incidents
Of the capture Of the Federal Aeot at Gal
yenston:
HDr. Holland, Of Texas, who bore use
ful and distinguished part inthe recent cap
ture of the Harriet Lane, at Galvenston, ar
rived in town the day before yesterday,
bringing with him the signal book which
was taken by the gallant Leon Smith in
that splendid engagement. This book is
worth perhaps, more to the Confedracy than
all the prizes that were secured, even more,
possibly, then the prestige Of the victory.
1t was found upon the dead body Of Com
mander Wainwright, and was worn by him,
in the breast pocket Of his coat, where it
was pierced by the bullet OF navy revolver,
discharged by Capt. Smith, whose second
FIRE killed his antagonist. DR.. Holland was
one ofthe boarding party that cleared the
decks Of the Harriet Lane. Some Of the
scenes and incidents he describes transcend
in strange interestthe narratives Of Alcxan-
der Dumas.
Some years ago when the famous steam
or Merriinac, afterwards changed into ram
by the Confederate Government, made her
trial trip across the Atlaclic, she entered,
as we all remember, Southampton waters,
and her officers were received with great
hospitality by the authorities Of Sou,ham-
pton. Commander Wainwright was then
the Merrimac's First Lieutenant and on go
ing up to London was entertained by DR..
Holland, who was then living in the great
metropolis. The Doctor never saw him
again alive, and recognized with feeling oI
astonisbment in the dead body Of the. com
mander of the Harriet Lane, lying upon her
decks, his guest of some years ago, in Lon
don! The saddest OF all the terrible trag
edies Of this internal war was enacted upor
the same crimsoncd and slippery stage
when Major Lee, Of the Confederate Army,
encountered, 10 the dying Lieutenant Of the
Federal steamer, his own sonl Can histo
ry or fiction afford any parallel to thisG Il
is a curious fact, too, which has not beer
stated that Capt. Leon Smith, to whose
skill and gallantry General Magrude attri
butes the entire success Of the attack on the
enemy's feet in the Galvenston Bay, is the

The Ohio Eagle (Turkey-buxzard y is
particularly sweet on Jewett. The Eagle
is the institution that stands charged with
the special duty OF bearing aloft the stan,

many Friends have been taken to the rebel

North Carolina 10 the free States since the
breaking out of the rebellion, and in many
cases their property has been eopiscated.

description Of tho estimate in which they
arc beld is equally good. We hope the
Copperheads will read and ponder. IL will
afford them extreme qualification to know
that they are so well appreciated by both
sides They are halfway men, cowboys,
tories, and deserve the raking which the
Richmond Enquire gives them, as follows:
ave all known, indeed. and are happy to
know, that some of the Northwestern States
are very sick Of this war, heartily disa6Iec-
tod to tho Washington Government, strong.
" disposed to sneak out Of the debt they
have incurred, and to ask alliance, or even
union, with The Confcdracy, IL agreeable.
| This is q wholesome state Of feeling, and
must produce its fruits Of disorgaUizstiou
and Encouragement 10 the Northwestern
troops But let US not mistake the matter.
Not one Of those States has yet pronounced
itself in this sense though some stump ora
ators have. When they do take such &C
tion-that is, when their Legislature and
Governors -accredit Commissioners to Rich
mond for any such purpose, no doubt, they
will be received and answered according 10
the nature Of their proposal. We presume
they will be told that the first thing thoy
have to do is call back their forces to their
own country, that then We win be willing
to mako treaties with them, but that as tc
an union with the Confedracy, under the
'old Aag,' or any other, they come t,Oo years
too late. Two years, and an abyss Of horror
and hatred, and the blood Of our slaughter
ed brothers crying aloud from the ground
all prohibit that impious union; yfhey re-
pudiate The debt they have contracted, ana
abandon the Government they have estab
lished, and recdnt the ,vo,Os, and pledges

a Arrcmondous Engine OF war-The Frie-
nto-Hann Dunderbere.


Mr.. William H. Webb, the noted ship
builder, has in course Of construction, at
his yurd foot Of Fifth Street, East River
the greatest engine Of naval warfare that
has ever yet boen set adoat-- 40 iron plated
Monitor-ram, 10 be callen the Dunderberg.
Her dimensions will bc: ontire length, S7s
feet; depth Of hold, 80 feet; breadth Of
bean, ee feet; draught Of water, 10 feet.
Her keel is very narrow, the under Part Of
tho vessel presenting perfectly fiat surface,
about 30 feet in width. Her engines are
10 be Of 5000 horse power, and her tonnage
measurement 1000 tons. Her strength Of
build may be imagined when we state that
her upper works, above the water line, will
comprise Z feet of soil oak, with an outer
covering Of four and a half to Eve inches Of
iron armor. Commencing at the water
line, her bulwarks, (of the thickness just
rncntioned) incline inward at an angle oi
46 degrees, and below the water line heI
build inclines at the same angle towards
the keel-thus presenting seven feet ram
on both sides along ber whole length. Below
the lowest point Of this ram, her stock build
inclinss less scutely, (not more than five de
grees,) aud is four feet thick Of solid oak
covered to the depth of six feet by foul
inches iron plates. Her forward ram
which will be entirely submerged, is very
sharp, about twenty feet long, and support
ed from the bow Of the vessel, inwards, by
about thirty feet of massive oak timbers
The officers quarters, unlike those in the
Monitor rams, are all above the water line
Her movements are Of the propeller order
one screw on each side Of the 'kelsou, while
the stern extends about twenty FIVE feet be
yond them, thus completely submerging the
propellers and making it impossible for an
opponents shot to iDjure them. The Dun
derberg will also be provided with two rud
ders, 50 that il the steering apparatus o.
one should be injured the other can be i'm
mediaiely put into operation.
It is the largest, heaviest, strongest iror
frigate aAoat, while at the same time, sh,
win be the "ugliest customer" for rebels o
inyadres to try thoir metal with. She wa
originally designed for harbor defence; bu
combines within herself all the requisites o
athorough going sea steamer and will prove
as effective on the wide ocean as when guar.
ding sea port. She will be completed il
about six months time.-Neto York Times

INTERNATIONAL PosTALC CONVENTION. At
the suggestion of the United States Govern
ment, an international Postal Conference has
been lately held in Paris, France, in which all
the leading nations except Russia participated
Complete success attended the efforts of the
United States Post Department, to inaugurate
a more liberal and more uniform postal system
between the different nations of the world.
The Home Governments Of several countries
have already adopted the principles settled
there as the basis for future postal conventions.
Others will follow. 1t is now confidently ex-
pected that, as soon as the arrangements al
ready in progress are perfected, there will be
general reduction in the rates of postage to
all parts of Europe. with uniform rate to
most of those countries. The Press will real
ize great convenience from the pending prop
ositions, by the essential reduction of rates on
journals and printed matter which will soon
be effected.
