Nelson's Signal.
THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR AND THE BRITISH
SAILORS


SAILORS.
London publishing house has Just issued
memoir of the late Lieutenant-Gene S. B.
Ellis, of the British Royal Marines, in which
occurs the following story of the battle of Ira
falgar and Nelson's famous signal-told by
General Ellis, who served on board the flag
ship:-
''irhis glorious battle, which so greatly infu
enced the affairs of Europe, and gave to ENGLAND
the supremacy of the seas, was one thTouoh
which our ship passed with but little loss.
There was scarcely any wind at the time and
we approached the enemy at not more than
knot and a half an hour. As we neared the
French feet, was sent below with orders, and
was much struck with the preparations made
by the blue jackets, the majority of whom were
stripped to the waist; q handkerchief was bound
tightly round their heads and over the ears, to
deaden the noise OF the cannon, many men
being deaf for days alter an action. The men
were variously occupied; some were sharpening
their cutlasses others polishing the guns, as
though an inspection were about TO take place
instead of mortal combat, while three or four,
as il in mere bravadO, were daRcing a hornppe;
but all seemed deeply anxious to come to close
quarters with the enemy. Occasionally they
would look out of the ports, and speculate as to
the various ships of the enemy, many OF which
had been, on former occasions, engaged by our

MEETING OF GENERALS SHERMAN AND
JOE JonNsroN.-General Joseph L Johns
ton, the beloved commander of the late Cons
federate "Army of Tennessee" arrived in
Memphis on the Goth instant, and put up at
the Geyoso House,. His visit was purely of
business, limited to few busy hours-leaving,
as he did, on the five o'clock packet. He was
rapturously welcomed by the few of his old
comrades who knew of his being in town, and
who had the good fortune to exchange hur-
ried greetings with him.
1t is something of coincidence that he
and Gener ! Sherman should have met here,
the one in the discharge of his ordinary mil
itary duties, and the other in the pursuits of
private business. Their meeting was charac-
terized by the kindIincss which ever Inspires
the true soldier when hostilities have ceased.
Their previous meeting in North Carolina
was pregnant with momentous results. Then
they met as enemies. Now they are friends
and fellowecountryneu cherishing for each
other respect anaiindness. Cannot the coun-
try emulafc the example Of these two greatest
of living commanders?

INFLUNoE OF a TRUE WIFFE.-A sensible,
afectiOnate, refined, pratical woman makes a
mans nature all the stronger by making it
more tender-puts new hearts into all his
striyings-and gives dignity to his prosperity,
and comfort to his diversity. Every true life
wiclds still greater power when it feels a
living heart drawing it with irrestible force
into every position of duty.

"A ny THE BARD OF MARBLE HALL.
In Baltimore famed Tor la dies fair,
Lived beautiful girl with aaxcn aair,
And bonny blue eyes with liquid light;
And roseatc lips, glorious sight.
The youngsters fell in love by 1ozena.
Fricrds and acquaintance, strangers and coas-
But she a crotchet had got in her head;
And said she determined never to wed
Until she loved handsome youth
Who would grant all her requests in truth,
And bind him fully never to break
The pledge he had taken for her sake.
The young men stood ghast with fear;
Some whackcd their boots, some pulled their hair;
Some said twas religion, some said twas money;
Dutit took them aback and they felt quite funny
Among them there was fine young man;
Says he, al love her well as 1 can,
Nowill ma ke her the promise, Soth open and free,
And agree to stand BY it whatever it be.''
The fair one stepped up to his side,
And said "ShOuld now be your bride,
You must promise here before US all,
To buy your clothes ut MARBLE HALL.
No other suit husband of mine,
The coats arc SO handsome, The pants divine.''
If you like them WE'LL get pair for yoursclf.''
