GIVE US SHOT AT HER.-The Royal
Sovereign. the first turret vessel in the Brit
ish navy. has been subjected to a series of
gunnerv experiments, and it is stated that
the vessel came out of her trials triumphant
ly. During three days firing" says the
English authority. mot man scratched his
finger, nor was penny worth OF damage
done to the ship" This mutual admiration
system of firing and testing is not very prac-
teal or thorough. Complimentary cannon
balls lack vim" Downright earnestness
imparts wonderful directness and force to a
prcjectile. If the Lords of the Admiralty
wish the Royal Sovereign to undergo test
. as is a test,' let them submit her to trial
by a jury of our fifteen inch guns. If they
pronounce her invulnerable, we will not
demur. The First Napoleon was once
waited upon by man who had invented
what he asserted to be bullet proof armor.
The Emperor made him put on the suit. "a
nice Mt, said Napoleon g now bring me a
loaded musket." The inventor turned
slightly pale. and left the apartment. as was
at the time supposed, in quest of the musket.
This. however, is mere surmise. as neither
man nor musket have reported from that dav
to this. Probably they both went or,
together. We doubt if the ROYAL Sovera;a,
will spend much time in hunting up that
musket.-Bee.

LINES
COMPOSED AFTER READING AN INCIDENT OF THE
WAR.

A daughter of Erin, in her favorite green,
Forced her way thro' the throng that surrounded
the station;
Little Mollie, child Of intelligent mein
Went with her, TO greet him who fought for our
Twas day Of rejoicing; the soldiers arriving,
Were heartily welcomed by the jubiant crowd
The wars were over, our land one more thriving,
And Treason's base form was enclosed in q
shroud.
This daughter of Erin pressed eagerly forward,
But her eyes dim she sent Mollie before,
And bade her look sharply until she behed him,
(Alas never dreaming she would see him nc
She then made inquiries of one who had known
Had stood by his side and had noticed him fall
But how could he tel her? Oh, God. she has
guessed it /.
And whispers with white lips, "Pray tell me it all ;
Her eyes grew more dim as the tale was unfolded,
Her senses seemed wandering, but were quickly
restored,
Her lips framed these words 50 I've prayed nigh
and morning,
But murmur Pater and Are no more
Ny boy sleeps with strangers; and poor little
Mollie
Must starve,-for I'm old my day has gone by
For what am living ?-there, Mollie, don't grievs
sol"
But tears were glistening in every eye.
The soldiers donated their hard earned "green
backs,'
The crowd gave their sympathy, and hastenet
away;
lis one scene Of thousand and soon is forgotten
Another succeeds, and survives its brief day.

KILLING AN ALLIGAToR.-Th Havana
correspondent of the New York Times gives
description of fight with an alligator,
which recently took place in a district called
the . Ensenada de Cachinos." where these
gigantic animals are celebrated for their
ferocity. A young man. aged twenty years,
the manager of an estate. was crossing river
on horseback and followed by bulldog.
when the bowling Of the dog caused him to
turn his head. What was his surprise to see
an alligator, at least nine feet long, carrying
off the dog BY the neck. To jump off his
horse and in the water. to attack the monster
with his hunting knife, was the work of a
moment. His boldness was successful, for

es itself very bluntly. In noticing the fact
that since the conclusion of the war million
and quarter of men-hardy veterans, all Of
them-belonging to both the Northern and
Southern armies. have returned to their
homes. that journal says: I" At the tap of
drum, or word from President johnson,
more than half of these trained soldiers would

Spain are wise. they will leave this continent
as soon as possible, for conflict with such

FRox The RIO GRAsDE.-On Tuesday even
ing last, several soldiers of the Fifth Regiment
of California Volunteers, whose term of three
years enlistment has expired, returned from
the Rio Grande. They belonged to company
|. and served under Capt. Whitlock of Plumas
county, of whom they speak in terms Of high
est praise as gallant, humane aud able off
Ger. We have been furnished the following
items from Sergeant james Finn, of Wyan-
dotte, one of the party. The company pro-
ceeded By water 10 San Pedro. the seaport
town near Los Angeles, and from thence fol-
lowed the Southern overland mail route to
Mesilla, on the Rio Grande. From San Pedro
to Fl Yuma, on the Colorado river, the dis
tance is three hundred miles. The first balf
Of that distance presents arabic and grazing
lands; the latter, barren, broken mountains
and alkaline plains. Steamers run up the Col
orado to the town of La Paz, seventy i've
miles above Fl Yuma. This fort is situated
at the mouth of the Gila. From Fl. una
the route is up the GIia-two hundred miles
from Yuma are the Pimo Villages. The Pi
mos are friendly tribe of Indians and subsist
BY agriculture One of the soldiers who had
learned their language, instead of returning to
this State has applied for permission to open
q school for the education of their youth. The
route leaves the lila twelve miles above the
Pimo Villages, and one hundred miles brings
you to Tuscon. From TUscon to Apache Pass
is one hundred and twenty miles. The Pass
is on the summit ridge of the Rocky Noun,
tains, and from this point it is one hundred
and fifty eight miles 10 the Rio GraDde. at
Mesla; ten miles from the Texas line. From
Apache Pass to Mesilla there appears to be
rich mining country Of surface gold mines, gold
bearing quartz, lead. silver and copper leads.
These soldiers were discharged at Mesilla, on
the Rio Grande, being allowed about one hun.
dred and thirty dollars Communication money.
in currency, to pay their expenses home, less
than half the amount necessary for the purpose.
The soldiers give good report of the salu
brity and healthfulness of the climate, bat do
not praise it for agricultural or grazing pur-
poses, except in few places. Many of their
comrades have re-enisted to fight it out on
that line" and we should not be surprised if
they yet had (what they all wish chance for
more active service. The overland mail hav-
inr heen discontinued IN that rnute nearly all
the stations have been deserted. Serg't. Finn
brings with him an Apache Indian boy about
eight years old, whom be captured near the
Rio Grande. Its mother having been killed
by volley of musketry at what was supposed,
in the darkness to be Indians in ambush. He
is stout, fine looking little fellow, and seems
to eujoy his condition. He is quite rarity
in this section.
