The reporter of the New York
Times who crossed the ocean III the
Dunderburg, says: 81 am no stranger
TO heavy weather on shipboard, as il
has been my fortune to make many
voyages on all classes Of vessels, among
them some OF the largest and best that
enter the haEbOr Of New York. In all
my experience, however, 1 never knew
anything to approach the Dunberberg

Of the Admiralty, was an Irishmau, and
remarkable Tor mis- self conceit and the
posiIiveneSs Of his opinions. Once, AT
dinner party, he even pertinRciously
insisted in setting the Duke OF yelling.

The Duke, changing the subject to per-

When gentlemen are out of literary
emploSme in England, they make
their wants known through the medi-
UNI OF advertising, thing which Is
very seldom done IN this country. The
London 4theHeHn contains a list Of
these advertisements, from which we
learn that a gentleman, long resident
in France. desired to write Paris letters;
another English gentleman, OF indie
pendent means, literary habits and
high accomplishments, rendered his
gratuitous services for six or eight
months, as assistant editor OF a news
paper, review or magazine; still anoth-
er, of many years. experience on the.
daily and weekly press, is now open TO
AN engagement as editor; and another
gentleman, an experienced leader
writer, Is willing TO write regularly or
occasionally, for any newspaper or re-
view. ..
"A Philadelphia letter gossips pretty
freely Hbout the handsome ladies of
that city. It says: Every once in a
while / see scrap in a New England
paper about the beauty of a certain
Miss SchonberR, of this city. Now she
il not the prettiest woman, by any
means. Miss SchoD berg is not natu-
raj, but an artificial beauty We can
give you a score Of ladies who Will
rival her. Were you to ask my opinion
about the matter. should say that a
Miss Emma G. Tilton is by far the
handsomest. She is lady of eighteen,
while Miss Schonberg is at least thirty
years OF age"
The new Tycoon of Japan, Stots
Bashi, Is spoken of as a very amiable
and Intelligent man, with fine abilities
for government. He is as handsome as
he is able, and only thirty-one years OF
age. When in full court costume he
wears white silk robes, with sleeves of
white satin, having his crest EN- broider-
ed in lilac silk. On his head is oddly
perched paper cap, strongly resemb-
ling the jewel casket of ladies, fastened
with knot of ribbons beneath the
chin. His trowsers are stiff with cloth
Of gold, and he carries a fan in his right
hand.
The official report gives the effec-
tive strength of the army brought into
the field by Prussia and allies, as 437,
262 men, and ITO. 1872 horses, including
l29 generals and 1864 officers. The total
number of wounded WAS 500 officers
and 10. sos men; the total loss 3l5 OFF,
GERS, 10 ,562 men, $3.50 horses. The num-
Der of officers wounded was relatively
twice as great as that of private sol
diers.
