The Torpedo Boat Etromboli.

The trial trip of this new boat proved very
satisfactory. 1t was made from New York
harbor on Friday, when she made nine knots
per hour and steered beautifully by her above
deck and under oeek steering machinery.
The torpedoes were tried. The first was
nlty FOUNDER. 1t was placed in the basket,
run out, and when about foot under water,
e4pioded. The process occupied about two
anu nan minutes. The water was thrown
W apoue loo ieet in perpendicular column,
WHICH measured about ten feet in diameter
Drancning on from the main column were
tnlck Jes OF neavy spray or rather broa,.
sneets OF snowy white water which the
breeze bore back upon the declr ~ tha vo..aI
The torpedo when exploded, was oriv 10 coet
from the bow of the vessel, and Inc ~, -
felt on board was very slight indeed u.A = .a 90
pound torpedo was next tried. It Wa .,snsy IiAs
twenty feet deep in the water, and expioSeJ
by an electro magnetic apparatus. The wssar
was thirty feet deep, aud the torpedo at ths
instant OF explosion was ten feet from the he'd
OF the river, consequently it was trife lon
ger before the tremendous result made itself
manifest. When 1t did come it was awfully
grand. A black cone, surmounting q blacker
column, arose from the surface, and quickly
mounted aloft, at least three score feet, being
twenty feet In diameter, and thick with mud.
It presented in unmistakeable evidence the
power which the machine possessed for harm.
The shock of this torpedo was felt over a
space Of about 100 yards in diameter. It lift
ed, or felt as IL 1t did, the bow OF the vessel
about nine inches, but producing no unpleas-
ant sensation. The Stromboli left the North
ern Waters on Saturday.

Actors Losing their Identity. Glskzs

Macready used to excuse his rather rough
handling OF the actresses in some OF his tragic
scenes on the plea that he had SO perfectly
Identified himself with the part as TO forget
he was VIM. O. Macready, gentleman, and
that he knew himself only as Sig. Othello,
General In the Venitian service. One actress
informed him at the rehearsal that she had
filed her hair and clothing full OF fish hooks,
and he had better be careful. The identity
was broken. The truth is that the perfect
Identification OF the character is all numbug,
unless the actor, as in the case sometimes with
the elder Booth, was unduly excited by stimu-
lants. Certainly, however, there is singular
difference in persons powers sometimes
when on the stage, from the same when on
We knew an amateur actor once VINO stain-
mered fearfully but WHOSE elocution on tne
stage was admirable-his annunclauon es-
pecially being clear, distinct and unnesilaung.
A famous English actress, MIS- Tabcnafo,
was exceedingly vulgar, taking ABOUT her
silk gownd.n and it was said had never read
any part in Macbeth, except her own written
"lengths.u Yet her action was perfection,
combining the rendering OF scholar with the
manner of princess. Madame Rachel was.
of course, lady in manner, but not more
than tolerably well read. Her most ardent
admirer. Jules Janin, in speaking of the reyi-
val OF Esther in which Rachel failed, SAYS
sne knew nothing OF the part, having never
read the Old Testament, though she died a
strict Jewess. He gives a contirmatory anec-
dote on the questionable authority of Dumas.
When Rachel was rehearsing, in the elder
Dumas play, the part of Madlle. de Belle Isle,
which Mars bad created SO admirably-at the
moment when La Marquise says to the hero
inc, do you recollect the ill-fortune OF Fou-
quet?" Mdlle. Rachel made an admirable
gesture. "Good," cried Alexander, that Is
just it. You know then, the story OF Fou-
quet~ "Ip was the answer, "not a word
But when you say to me, do you recollect the
ill-fortune of FouquetP OF course I must
tremble and be afraid. What need is there
for me to trouble myself about M. Fouquet
and his iltfortune ?" Her admirable start was
conventional, and great many fine points OF
our present actors may be explained in the
same way. The writer of this remembers
holding brief conversation on business mat
ters with the late w. E. Burton, from the
stage-box, while the latter was playing Cap
tain Cutie the actor, approaching and reced-
ing from the box, apparently continuing the
most intense emotion in the part, while he
threw in parenthetical questions or replies to
his interlocutor in the stage box. Suchin-
stances are numerous. baassassnaa 4 "a

Too Much Displav.

Most young people are very fond of display
in dress. Rings, breastpins, and similar super
huities are all in great demand among them.
We have known girl to spend months wa
ges for a single article OF this kind, and a
young man to run in debt for cane. when he
had scarcely clothing enough to appear re-
spectacle. The following story ol success
iul merchant will show to such how these
things look to sensible people. Ai4s

country store, where had tended for three
years. and came to Boston in search of place.
Anxious, OF course, to appear to the best ad-
vantage, spent an unusual amount of time
and solicitude upon my toilet, and when it
was completed, surveyed my reflection in
the glass with no little satisfaction, glancing
lastly and approvingly upon seal ring which
embellished my little finger, and my cane, o
very pretty affair, which had purchased with
direct reference to this occasion. NY first
days experience was noteneouraging. Itrav-
eled street after street, up one side and down

!" hoe Winder.o

y. ..l e. .
When the suferings of our poor fellows, con-
fined in the Libby Prison and on Belle Isle
near Richmond, became known, q cry of hor-
ror was raised here and 10 Europe over the
barbarity OF the rebels. What then did Davis
and the other rebel leaders do? Did they or
der the refitting Of the Libby prison? Did
they court-martial and punish Winder and his
subordinates, who pcrpetrated this long series
OF cruel outrages /? Did they explain that these
things occurred without their knowledge, and
were disapproved by them?
Not 1t all; but when the evidence grew too
clear for them; when they found that II these
crueltes continued to be perpetrated under
their eyes in and near Richmond, they, the
rebel leaders, would be every where held re-
sponslble for them, they-removed the prison
ers. They sent them from Belle Isle and the
Libby to iAndersonville; from place where
their cries could be heard and their sufferings
known, to one 50 obscure, SO remote, that no
inhumanity practsed there could be immedi-
ately known place where the prisoners were
In tenfold degree more at the mercy of their
jailors. ie
And whom did they send to be the TAILOR ?
The same Infamous wretch, Winder, whose
cold blooded and systematic cruelties had made
the prisons of Belle Isle and the Libby scan
dal no longer endurable SO near to Davis; the
same who, known from his early youth at West
Point as Hog Winder," notorious ever since
in the old army for his meanness, his abomi.
nable cruelty, and Stunned as the possessor of
every shameful vice, completed his infamy by
the systematic maltreatment OF helpless pris-
oners OF war in Richmond-this person was
continued In his place, and was sent by Davis,
with his victims, to Andersonville.
Would this have been done had not the in
tention been to starVe and every way ill-treat
our men? Would not Davis have selected
some other person to rule over the prison, had
he desired to alleviate the sufferings of the
prisonersP Is not his selection of Winder
proof positive that he and his confederates in
tentionally commit these atrocities?
N. Z. Evening Post.
This "Hog Winder" was at one time, when
Lieut., stationed at Fort Preble, and receiy-
ed Captains commission while there, and
was subsequently stationed at Fort Kent,
Aroostook county. He has richly earned an
immortality of infamy. st 5is.'

The Execution Of Mnllar.

The following is the translation of what
passed between Muller and his spiritual advis-
er, just before the execution:
DIR. Cappel-Muller, in few minutes you
will stand before God; ask you again and
for the last time: Are you guilty or inno-
cent?
Muler-I am innocent.
DR.. Cappel-Yeu are innocent
Muller-God knows what have done.
DIR. Cappel-God knows what you have
done. Does he know also that you have COM
mitted this crime?
Muller-Yes, I did 1t.
The following from the London Times gives
an idea OF what kind of dregs are drawn to-
gether by such spectacle, and shows that
whatever may be said in vindication of capi-
tai punishment itself, the publicity of such
punishment finds no justification in any whole
some influence resulting therefrom:
'None but those who looked down upon
the awful crowd OF Monday will ever believe
in the wholesale, open, broadcast manner in
which garroting and highway robbery were
carried on. We do not now speak OF those
whom the mere wanton mischief of the crowd
led to "bonnet" as they passed, or else to
pluck their hats from off their heads, and toss
them over the mob, amid roars and shouts of
in all directions, till sometimes even they fell
within the enclosure round the drop, and were
kicked under the gallOws by the police. The
prOpriety OF such an amusement at such a
time admits OF question, to say the least, even
among such an audience.
But even this rough play falls into harm
lessness beside the open robbery and violence
which yesterday had its way virtually un-
checked in Newgate street. There were reg
ular gangs, not so much in the crowd itself
within the barriers, as along the avenues
which led to them, and these vag~ants openly
stopped, "bonneted," sometimes garotted and
always plundered any person, whose dress led
him to think him worth the trouble; the risk
was nothing. Sometimes their victims made
desperate resistance, and for few minutes
kept the crowd around them violently sway
ing to and fro amid the terrible uproar. In
no instance, however, could we ascertain that
Police" was ever called sxs
Indeed, one of the solitary Instances in
which they interfered at all was where their
aid was sought from some houses, the occu-
pants of which saw an old farmer, who, after
long and gallant struggle with his many as
sallants, seemed, after having been robbed, to
be IN danger of serious injury as we'll. This,
however, about the farmer, is mere episode
the rule was, such robbing and i'll treatment
made the victims only too glad to fly from the
spot where they had suffered 1t, and who. II
they ventured on any information to the po-
lice, could look for no redress in such a
crowd. Such were the open pastimes of the
mob from daylight till near the time of execu-
tion, when the great space around the prison
seemed choked with its vast multitude.
