nEMARKABLE HISTORY OF A TOR
PEDO nOAT.


Ger. MAURY's report Of the defence OF
Mobile narrates the eyentiul history of tor
pedo boat as follows:
Il was built Of boiler iron, was about
thirty five feet long, and was manned by a
crew OF. nine men, eight of whom worked
the propeller by hand. The ninth steered
the boat and regulated her movements be-
low the surface of the water. She could be
submurged at pleasure 10 any desired depth,
or could be propelled upon the surface. In
smooth still water her movements were ex-
acily controlled, and her speed was about
four knots. Ii was intended that she should
approach any vessel lying at anchor, pass
under her keel, and drag floating torpepo,
which void explode on striking the side or
bottom of the ship attacked
She could remain submerged more than
half an hour without inconvenience TO her
crew.
Soon after her arrival in Charleston,
Lieut.. Payne of the Confederate navy, with
eight others, volunteered to attack the Fed
eral feet with her. While preparing for
their expedition the swell Of passing
steamer caused the boat 10 sink suddenly,
and all hands, except Lieut. PAYNE, who at
the moment was standing in the open hatch
way, persisted. She was soon raised and
again made ready for service Lieut. PAYNE
again volunteered 10 command her. While
living near Fort Sumter she Capsized and
again sunk in deep water, drowning all
hands except her commander and two
others.
Being again raised and prepared for &C
ton. Mr.. Aunley, one OF the constructor
made an experimental cruise with her in
Cooper River. While submerged at great
depth, from some unknown cause, she be-
came manageable and remained for many
DAYS on the bottom of the river with her
crew Of nine dead men.
A fourth time was the boat raised, and
Lieut.. Dixon, Of Mobile Of the Twenty-frst
volunteers, with eight Others, went out OF
Charleston harbor IN her and attacked and
sunk the Federal steamer HouIdioRie.
Her mission at last accomplished, she dis
appeared forever with her crew. Nothing
Is known Of their fate, but il is believed they
went down with the enemy.

THERE is a magistrate in town in fndi-
ana named Hclser. A clergyman of the
same place was called upon by young coup:
lie, not long since, wishing him to join them
in the bonds of matrimony. He asked the
bridegroom "a soldier, by the way) for his
marriage license. The man in blue said he
had been engaged to the girl four years, and
thought that would do. Clergyman thought
not and remarked as the quickes: way to
obtain a license: "YOu had better take your
girl and 60 to Helser." "You can go to
hi yourself" retorted the veteran, and
without further advice he left his presence.

! MORALS OF New York An indignant
Freuchman, stirred thereto by structure in
the New York Times upon Partisan vice,
declares that the morals of New York, es
pecialIy in "good society,"" are much worse
than those of Paris. He says:
h "Let any foreigner pass through Broad,
way at night, and. observe the signs and
transparencies which indicate the entrances
to the dens Of vice and infamy which every.
where abound on that street, and tell me if
we have anything to boast over Paris Such
Infamous institutions would not be permitted
in that city, or at all events such indecent
display Of them would not be permitted I
know of nothing in which we are behir
Paris in these things. We have our publ C
restaurants fitted up with private apart
ments for ladies and gentlemen We have
places of public amusement which are noto,
riously rendezvous for improper persons-asr
signation places under the disguise of places
/ OF amusement-picture galleries used for the
same purpose. Houses of illrfame everyI
where abound, and hre we'll patronized Hor
tells in which persons notoriousiy reside in the
most shameful illicit relations; Anatomical
Museums, too disgusting to be visited by any
decent person, aIee kept open on our most
public street, and rendered very attractive
by gorgeous display of 'gasrlights,' and int
10 which all applicants are admitted without
regard to age. sex, or condition. The vice of
inlemperance, too, is infinitely greater in the
city, and in this country, than in Paris or
France. Every American who has been
abroad knows this to be true. And, as re-
spects admitting improper persons into socie'
ty, do not think we have anything to boast
OF in that particular either. At the Bud
Opera, few evenings since-professedly a
most select and recherche affair-persons
might have been seen quite as obnoxious to
remark as Mile Therese-and as for propri-
eties of behavior, [ am constrained to say
that | never saw exhibitions of such gross
disregard of the common decencies of life in
any Sale in Paris as l saw at the Academy
OF Music on that occasion. | saw a man
take liberties with the person Of female at
the supper table too disgusting to mention,
and which would not be tolerated in the low
est dancing gardens in Paris. 1 also saw
the son of the editor Of the leading (so call
ed) newspaper of this city so drunk and dis
orderly that two policemen had him BY the
throat and collar, ejecting him forcibly from
the house. l saw indecencies in dress and
costume that would have compelled the wear
er to have retired from any company in Paris
to which decent people are invited"

FIRE CoMPANY,-Th experience of the
Fourth of July, teaches most unmistakably the
necessity of having a thoroughly organized Fire
Department. At the late fire our citizens work
ed nobly and manfully, but being without Or
ganizatiou and directing head, much energy
and labor was expended without any correspon-
ding result Under the most favorable circum-
stances great confusion and excitement will pre-.
vail at fires. To obviate this condition of affairs
ali towns when they attain any considerable
growth find an organized Fire Department ne
cessity. Walla Walla in this regard is no excep-
tiOn to the rule. Why it is that with an engine
and all the apparatus necessary for the extn-
guishment Of fires, we are without a FIRE COM

MFE LEAYEs.

The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden
Aud single star in the eloudless blue lgates,
For the rising moon in siepce waits
While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
lullaby breath DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound Of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or half dream,
Il pass through the realms of Long Ago
While faces peer with many smile
From the bowers ofMemory's magical isle.
There are Joys and sunshine, sorrow and. tears,
-:That check the path of life's April hours,
And longing wish for the coming years, lers,
That hope ever wreaths with the fairest flow
There are friendships guileless-love as bright
And pure as the stars in halls of night.
There are asben memories, bitter pain,
Aud buried hopes and a broken vow,
And an aching heart by the reckless main,
And the sea breeze tanning pallid brow;
And wanderer on the shell-lined shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passion strong and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in the van
OF the battle of Iive-and the heart of the child
Is crushed in the breast of the struggling man /;
But short are the regrets and few are the tears
That fall at the tomb of banished years.
There is quiet peace, and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And a truth unquestioning, far above
The passionate dreamings of ardent youth;
And kisses of children on lips and cheek,
| And the parents bliss which no tongue can speak.
There loved ones lost There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamet winds, and the violet waves
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze
And we mourn for the pressure of tender lips,
And the light ofeyes darkened in deaths eclipse.
And thus as the glow of the daylight dies,
And the nights first look to the earth is cast,
l gaze meath those beautiful summer skies
At the pictures that hang in the hall of the past;
Oh Sorrow and Joy, chant mingled lay
When to memory's wildwood we wander away
