A MOUSE ON THE WrRE.-A very little matter
will gather a street crowd. One stops to look,
another stops to look at him. To those twain
others are added apace, until, from small be-
ginnings, q street has been blockaded. But
think OF Clark street being blockaded by a
mouse. This is how Il happened; On Saturday
afternoon q mouse made his way out OF the
telegraph building over one Of the wires, and
soon had street crowd OF two hundred gazing
up at him, as, a Ia Blondin, he crept along biz
slender footwsy. He did 1t In brave style
steadily passing post after post, carrying a full
consciousness OF danger, and resting every few
yards TO recover from fatigue, and resist ten.
dency to topple over.
On such occasions II was curious to notice
how instinct taught II all the arts OF the human
wire-walker, for It's tail did duty as a balancing
staff, and few from side to side with lightning
rapidlty, to maintain equipoise. The whole
distance Travelled by the little animal, and re-
turned, was some six hundred feet, which
brought II back to Its starting point. The feat
was accomplished In spite Of the tendency OF
small boys to interrupt the performance with
stray missiles, and amid a fusIlade of puns
that rained from every side out of the deiig GIFTED
crowd. Thus II was suggested that somebody
must be mousing for contraband war news; that
this might be the way In which newspaper dis
patches got unused" that there was fmuss''
being telegraphed West. But even the puns
failed 10 throw the small rodent of Its balance.
and II returned TO the building, whIsked It's
tail saucily through the fingers OF an attend ant
telegrapher, who thought to Barnumize the
artist, and the crowd dispersed with a yell of
delight that would have repaid Blondln him
self, though, like this item, 1t was all about a
mouse Chicago Tribune.

[From the Philadelphia North American
Peaches and Cream.

We yesterday conversed with a gentleman
engaged to a very large extent In Bridgeton,
New Jersey, In the business of hermetically
scaling fruits and vegetables. This year he
informs us his firm viii prepare nothing re-
quiring the use of sugar. Last year he put up
In cans more than five thousand baskets of
peaches. The year previous he sent Into the
market nearly twice that quantity, and without
satisfying the orders upon the firm. This year
they will prepare no fruit requiring sugar, and
their operations will be restricted TO vegetables
and preserved meats. The price OF canned
peaches has been very little higher hitherto
than that of canned tomatoes, corn, or Lima
beans. To put them In the market at the pres
ent prices Of sugar would be a matter Of very
questionable profit. We learn, further, that
other wholesale preparers OF hermetIcally
scaled fruits have come to like conclusion. All
this is bad for peach growers. If any body
has reason TO give backhsnded blessing TO the
gamblers in gold, 1t is these people. In con.
sequence Of the high prices Of sugar, peaches
are drug In the market. Carts laden with
them are going about the courts and alleys of
the city, and the very poorest people are en-
joying them TO safety. The fruit is not large,
for the drought has robbed II of succulence,
but Its abundance was never greater. House
keepers, when sugar is 30 cent pound, cannot
afford to preserve them, and the peach crop OF
'64 wlllsbe consumed almost entirely in a nat
ural state.

Human Remains Found-Heavy Firing
Heard on Thursday Night.
tCorrespondenoe Of the Associated Pressl
HEADQ'Rs ARMY OF THE PoroNLc, August
II, 1s6i.-The cause Of the explosion at City
Point has not yet been sscertained, and proba-
bly, never will be, as the only persons who
could give any account OF the matter were
those on the boat at the time, and not one Of
them is believed to have escaped. There were
Ave or six soldiers on guard on the vessel, and
they, with number Of idlers, were occupied
In fishing at the time, and none Of them have
since been found. or the large crowd Of
negro lsborers at work on the boat there were
about twenty-five dead found, and allowing
for those blown overheard and missing, there
were at least flfty killed.
The number injured is believed to be about
100, many Of whom are scattered In different
places, and whose names cannot be ascer-
talned. One man, who had been kept q prls-
oner at headquarters for six or seven months,
who had been tried aud convicted for some
offence, but had not been sent of to the Dry
Tortugas, as ordered, had been recently par
doned, and, his time being up, was on his way
home. He was visiting companion on the
boat at the time, and must have been blown
into the river, as his body was found on the
shore three miles below City Point yesterday
afternoon.
number Of instances OF fhairbreadth escapes
are related, many Of which seem almost mirac-
ulousi and when the scene is visited and the
large quantity of debric seen which covered the
ground in the vicinity, It is surprising that
thousands instead Of hundreds were not In
volved In the calamity.
Asoldier ofthe Fourth United States regulars
was on sentry on the bank at the time, and
some Of his comrades, seeing the air flied with
missiles, told him TO run and hide. But he
refused to leave his post, and fortunately es.
capped injury. This same man had been tried
four years ago for an offence, and condemned
to forfeit all pay excepting one dollar q month
during the remainder of his term Of service.
few days ago he received notice, through
the Adj jutant Generals Oflce, that the fne had
been remitted, for gallant services In front of
the enemy. This act of bravery, In remaining
at his post regardless of danger, shows how
well he deserved consideration at tho hands Of
the Government.
A large force Of laborers are at work clearing
away tue rubbish OF the landing. 1t is said
that several barrels of human remains were
found scattered throughout the mass, none OF
which could be identified, they being merely
fragments. '
August 1916 q. m.-The firing between the

REBEL DENOMINATIONS AGAINST
NEW ORLEANS.

Last nights Evening Express has the follow
ing:
Our reporters have obtained from passengers
by the steamer Evening Star, the following ad-
ditional news;
The rebels In strong force are now outside of
Algiers, within six or seven miles of New Or
leans. They are fortlfying the place and con-
structing entertainments, apparently with the
Intention OF making that place base Of Often
siye operations. They are commanded by Gen.
Taylor.
The Teche district is also occupied by the
enemy In large forcein order TO prevent another
advance of our troops through that region to
Texas. Many of the secessionists Of New Or
leans declare that Mobile may be captured, but
that the Confederates attach no great import
ance to its possession, and that whether the
Union or rebel flags wave over 1t, II cannot ma
terially effect the general course of the war.
Nothing of importance lad been received
from Brownsville, but 1t was stated the rebels
were erecting batteries in order to protect the
contraband trade In cotton in the Rio Grandc.

THE McoLELLAN MEETIse-wBERE
WE'RE THE BIG POLITICIANS

Now that the glare Of the gasllght, the rock
cts and Roman candles that Illuminated the
Mcclellan meeting in New York has faded out,
the McClellanites are asking, with anger and
chagrin, why the big guns, the noisy and
wsighty politicians advertised 10 DO present,
did not appear.
The fireworks did their Office In attracting
the crowds floating about the streets, but most
Of the people who attended the meeting for
any serious purpose were drawn there by the
names Of certain prominent politicians, an
nounced as the principal orators Of the oeca-
sion.
These people are asking themselves why they
were SO egreglously sold-why all these great
(and llttle) men, whose views they had Gu
riosity to hear, were absent. They looked in
vain for John Van Buren,; for A. Oakley Hall;
for Charles P. DAILY; for Thomas Francis
Meagherj for Wilson G. Hunt; for Gilbert

Gov. Price, Of the same State; for the Hon.
Edgar Cowan; for Reverdy johnson; for En-
erson Etheridge; for Caleb Cushing; for Rob-
ert c. winthropi for George 8. Hillard; for
Sunset Cox.
The absence OF these men is significant.
