TIE TESTERS TRIBUTE.-One of the most
truthful and touching tributes to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln, which has emenated
from the press, is that from the London
Punch. While the President lived. that
journal was unsparing in caricature and
ridiculc of the man and his acts. Now, in
craving a place among the mourners, it
frankly confesses:
Yes he has lived to shame me from my sneer,
To lame my pencil, and to confute my pen
To make this hind of Princes peer
This rail-splitter. a true-horn king of men.

SUMMIT COUNTY.

Sheriff Burilson received a telegram
from Cincinnati on Tuesday of last week,
directing him to arrest a young man call
ing himself Charley Clifford upon the
evening train Sf the A. & 6. W. R. R.
and hold him until certain parties should
arrive from that city. Accordingly, when
the train came the Sheriff promptly took
said "Charley' in custody, and forthwith
conveyed him to the Lookup. On max
ing the customary search of the effects and
person of the prisoner, however, the Sher-
if made the astounding discovery that he
was no M at all, but a a0oman in male
attire. Her story was that her home was
in Boston, Massachusetts, from which she
had been enticed by one Charley Clifford,
under a promise of marriage, and that after
accompanying him to Cleveland, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati and Louisville, lin the
meantime having donned a suit OF
Charley's clothes and finding that he not
only utterly refused to marry her, but sub
iected her to the vilest ill-treatment, she
coniscated what money she could lay her
hand upon belonging to him, and, assum-
ing his name, started for home. A through

t%ranspired that the prisoner was not the
person who had committed the crime for
which the arrest had been made, and
through the aid of Mrs. Burilson and some
of the ~neighboring ladies, the misguided
young woman was supplied with a suit of
female apparel, and on Thursday evening
sent forward upon her journey,

The British Quarterly Regielo says of
Jeffreys:
"Sometimes he met a witness who was
his match, and the laugh was turned
against him. Thus, one day, in cross-ex-
aiming a c%ountryman in a leathern
doublet, he bawled out, You fellow in
the leathern doublet, what have you for
swearing?' Truly, SIR answered the
witness, If you have no more for lying
than 1 have for swearing you might wear
a leathern doublet as well as L.
"On another occasion, when he was re-
corder of London, a post which he secured
in 1878, a case was brought before him as
to paying for music at a wedding. One
of the witnesses being called a fiddler,
said Indignantly that he was a 'musition-
err Jeffreys sneeringly asked what diff
ference there was between a 'musitioner ,
and a fiddler. AS much, SIR said the
man, as there is between a pair of bag
pipes and a recorder
"Again, being displeased one day with
the evidence of a witness with a long
beard, the Recorder observed that If his
conscience was as large as his beard, he
would swear anything MY lord said

AN UNKNOWN STEAMER BURNED,
The Vessel Blown into Fragments
Fearful Gn~apfaala

The Vessel Blown Into FraRments-A
Fearful Spectacle.
TFrom the Savannah Republican Of November IL
We learn from passengers who arrived
here on Sunday last, in the steamship
Weybossett, from New York, that on Fri
day, somewhere in the region of Cape
Hatteras, a steamer was discovered to be
on fire, about ten miles from the Weybos-
sett, and, a short while after, a terrific ex-
plosion took place On board, the report of
which was distinctly heard. The Wey-
bossett ran down to her, but could see
nothing to indicate where she came from
or whittier bound, the only vestige of the
craft being the fragments of wood and
floating barrels and boxes.
We have been kindly permitted to make
the following extract from the log-book of
the Weybossett, which gives all the par
t~iculars, as far as known, of this terrible
catastrophe, for which favor we are in
debted to the obliging mate of the above
\ steamer.
"On the 9th of October, at 8 o'clock A.
NJ, Cape Hatteras bearing N. N. w, ff-
teen miles distant, saw a vessel on fire,
with another vessel, apparently a bark
living along side of her. The bark left her
about fifteen or twenty minutes after we
first saw her. As soon as she was dis.
covered to be on fire we ran down to her
and when within about five minutes Of hel
she blew up, and nothing was afterwards
seen but a few spars, boxes, bales, Sc"

had a large quantity of powder on board
as the explosion was evidently caused b,
that material. She was painted white
He has no doubt the persons on board
were taken off before she blew up, by the
vessel seen along side of her.
To form a faint idea of the fearful powe
of the explosion, it is only necessary t

was blown into the air to distance of owe

A Chance for Northern Labor

1t is believed that three-fourths of the
territory of South Carolina is now lying
uncultivated. If such is the case, and if,
as Is proBaDie, South Carolina may be
taken as fair sample of the other Southern
States atemptingprospect for agricultural
enterprise is opened. The soil is undoubted
ly fertile. Even the lands exhausted by IN
wise tillage, have, to a great extent, been
allowed to lie fallow during the war, and
have thus regained somewhat of their for
mer strength through the enforced neglect.
Governor Perry insists that the Palmetto
State ought to be able to support seven
millions of population instead of seven
hundred thousand. There is, indeed, no
reason why this empire itself should not
if brought under an enlightened system
of agriculture, with a proper correspond
ing d~iyersifcation of industry among the

The Iamnica InsurrecfIon

The United States Consul, stationed at
Batavia, under date of October 81, in
forms the State Department that the Cap
tain General Of the Island of Cuba has
rendered to the British Consul General
troops and war vessels to go and assist the
authorities. The war vessels were
ao. eepted, and two Of them sailed on the
date of this dispatch from st. Jago de
Cuba. The Consul at Havana incloses &c
the State Department a dispatch from ou1
C,,nsul at Kingston, IN which he states
that his predecessor, who has had some
four vears experience with the Islanders,
exuessas fears that It will require several
months to suppress the Instruction effec-
tuallv. He expresses the hope that an
American war steamer may at nee be
dispatched to that poIt. BE states that
there gre on the Island of Jamaica about
400. coo inhabitants, of which only 10, 200
are whites, about $4,000 mulsttoes, and
the remainder, $4,000, are black. The
present outbreak evidently has been long
contemplated, and IS intended to be a war
of determination by the blacks against
tie whites, and the great disparity of
numbers will give the former an advan-
taqe. They, too, have chosen a time when
there are but few English troops at that
station, and but one small EnghsE war
steamer, the Wolverine, at the Island.
The Consul suggests that an American
war steamer be sent there.

About eight years ago, a man residing

absent, nothing was heard from him, as
he never kept up correspondence with any

eyer saw or heard anything of him. His
wife after waiting for years for his return.
at last gave him up for dead, and in the
course of time, she married another man,
in Cleveland, with whom she lived in this

Erie.

Virginia, oddly enough, laps over upon
the Western boundary, with a nice little
strip of land. still more oddly called the
Panhandle. Our State too, has a sort OF
n~an-handle. or hook, on the southwestern
corner of New York. This, from its shape,
was called the Triangle. 1t was n~otinclud-
ed in Pennsylvania originally, nor in any
other State. The Panhandle and Triangle
were both made by one survey of Penn
sylvania boundaries, required to be made
BY extending Mason and Dixon's line five
degrees west from the Delaware river, and
then running one north to the north line
of the State. This north line did not reach
Lake Erie, as Pennsylvania did not then
touchthe water. Atriangnlar piece Of land,
of about two hundred thousand acres, was
left between the boundaries of New York,
OSio and Pennsylvania, which the latter
bought of the United States about 1890,
for seventy-fve cents an acre, besides
something paid to the Indian owners. The
purchase embraced Presquile, and gave our
Commonwealth a harbor on Lake Erie.
The triangle became a part of Erie eoun-
", which wa organized some ten years
later, out of Westmoreland and Washing
ton, and embraced for a time the territory
now covered by Crawford, Mercer, We
mango, Lawrence, Warren and Erie. The
county contained, by the census of 1860,
fifty thousand inhabitants, and the city of
Erie about ten thousand. Its later growth
has been rapid and healthy, and it may be
set down now probably as containing ff-
teen thousand inhabitants. By its fine
harbor, it has a fair share Of the lake COM
merce, and it has excellent railroad com
uunications with the east and west, and
both railroad and canal communication
direct with Pittsburgh. 1t is a handsome
city, both in site and internal appearance
and is growing rapidly, by the intelligence
and enterprise fits citizens. Its bust
ness, schools, and churches are in a thri-
wing condition. The Lake City is an
honor and a beatty to the Keystone State.
