Piracy and Murder on an Amer

boarded by the pirates. ID s.fa 81
The crew OF the Lubra took to the
rigging TO avoid the pirates cutIesses
and stink pots--a kind of hand grenade
made OF earthen ware which on ex.
plosion emit intolerable fumes. The
pirates we're about tor;yun number,

his wife and two children on board,
and was killed while holding his wife
and daughter in his arms, endeavoring
10 get them aloft into the rigging. One
mate, one seaman, and the Captains
wife remained on board and succeeded
in getting the weasel, Pillaged Of its

The Atlantic cable seems to be work
ing a complete revolution in trade be-
tween America and Europe, and as an
instance Of the extent to which this is
done, and If the celebrity with which
the cable can transmit dispatches, II is
announced that Bnglish orders upon
the San Francisco markets for the pur-
chase of the fino wheat OF California
have passed through the cable and by
overland telegraph between London
AND San Francisco. So promptly are
these orders executed that we are Z.
formed that advices ofthe purchase OF
wheat have been returned TO the Lon.
don merchant who sent the orders in
the morning by the evening Of the
same day. Upon diplomatic relations
the cable has great influence, by
shortening. the time OF communication
between the United States Govern
meT and her N inisters abroad. The
longest dispatch ever sentover tho ca q
BILE was one Of moro than 5000 lwosis,
transmitted on Monday by Secretary
Seward to one Of our foreign Minis
ters The cost Of this dispatch, if in
cyphers, as Government dispatches u.s.
ually are sent, must have besn at least
S25, 900 in gold.

The New York papers speak Of the
latest style of short dresses AS already
in general use in Broadway. Accord
ing to the Herald they are very popu.
lar both with ladies and gentlemen,
With the former, doubtless, on account
Of convenience, and with the latter on
the ground of economy. Tbs old
style of trailing skirts which swept in
their train all the itaic of the streets,
wero not only very inconvenient and
tedious to look at, but expensive to
keep in decent trim. One hundred
dollar trails to, are very gorgeous in
drawing rooms and on the swOep of
Brussels and velvet carpets, but as
brooms to sweep dirty streets they
excited more disgust than admiration
and besides gave very fiattening blows
to even plethoric pocket books. We
shall look with interest to see our
Western ladies adopt this style. The
New York Herald says:
Nothing can be more comfortable,
more becoming and more convenient
than the latest style Of small crinollnes
and short dresses. Ladies' can now
walk without dragging their skirts,
and ride in cars and omnibuses with
out taking up three times the amount
of space for which they pay. Some
women. with large ankles have com
planned ofthe last fashion upon the
ground that the ladies feet are con,
spicuously displayed; but we have yet
20 learn that il is any more indelicate
for lady 10 show her fee. than for q
gentleman to show his and gentlemen
have been dysplaying their pedal ex
tremities these thousands of years with
out censare or remark"
