A Ship Of Death Floats Into q Port
Of the Shetland Islands.

Since the time when the ancient mar
iner told the terrible tale of the curse
laden ship with her crew of ghastly
corpscs, no more thrilling story Of the
sea has been related than that of the
whale ship Diana, that recently driftcd
into one Of the Shetland Islands.
A year ago she left the Shctlands on
whaling voyage to the Arctic regions,
having OH board fifty meU. From that
time nothing more was heard Of her.
The friends Of those OH board became
alarmed. Money was raised and prem
iums offered for the first vessel that
would bring tidings Of the missing ship,
but all to no avail. Hope WIS almost
abandoned.
On the I'd of April the people near
ROna's VCe, in one of the Shetland
isles, were started at seeing a CHASTITY
wreck of ship sailing into the hsrbor.
Battered and ice crushed, sails and cord
age cut away, boats and spars cut up for
fuel in the terrible Arctic winter, her
decks covered with dead and dying, the
long lost Diana sailed in like ship
from Deadman's Land. Fifty men sail
ed out of Lerwick in her on bright
May morning last year. All of the fifty
came back on her on the I'd Of April,
this year; the same, yet how different!
Ten men, of whom the captain was
one, lay stiffened corpses on the deck {;
thirty-five lay helplessly sick, and some
dying; two retained sufficient strength
to creep aloft, and the other three crawl
ed feebly about the deck. The ship was
boarded by the Islanders, and, as they
climbed over the bulwarks, the man at
the wheel tainted from excitement; one
Of the sick died as he lay, his death be-
ing announced 10y the fcllow-occupant
of his berth feebly moaning, "Take
away this dead man." On the bridge of
the vessel lay the body of the captain,
as it had lain for four months, with nine
of his dead ship mates by his side, all
decently laid out by those who soon ex-
pceted TO share their fate.
The survivors could not bear to sink
the bodies of their comrades into the
sea, but kept them SO that when the last
man died the fated ship that had been
their common home should be their
common tomb. The surgeon of the
ship worked faithfully to the last, bu,
cold, hunger, scurvy aud dysentery
were too much for him. The brave old
! captain WAS the first victim and died
| blessing his men. Then the others fell
one by one, until the ship was tenanted
only by the dead and dying. One night
more at sea would have left the Diana a
floating coffin. Not one of the fifty
would have lived to tell the CHASTITY tale

All Nations but One.

The day before the Cunard steamers
arrive in port, being the last Of the voy-
age, is one the passengers generally i'm
prove as an occasion for sort Of fare
well and grand dinner, at which songs
are sung, Jokes are cracked, and speech
es were made, every one at the table
being expected to contribute something
to the entertainment. Upon a recent
occasion it chanced that quite large
party Of gentleman, representing great
many nationalisies Of proposers, till at
length All American, rising in turn, pro-
posed;
Here's TO all nations but one.n
This, As may be supposed, created
some sensation, each suspccting that his
nation might be the one referred to, and
prepared to resent an indignity thus
publicly offered.
Monsieur does not mean la belle
France" said Frcnchman, first break
ing the silence that followed.
Not ut all; vive Ia France" said the
Yankee, raising his goblet.

vidual, interrogatively

"Well, sir" said sturdy John Bull,
rising from his seat, ait is pretty obvious

intended to be an insult to England, l
demand proper apology for III not sit

The Brton grew red in the face, and
grasped decanter, ominous, for the
American rose promptly to his feet.
"Spokcn like Il man." said he to the
Englishman, "but England was not the
nation / alluded to-
"Namc -name-give us the name" !"
cried the company, now thoroughly cx-
cited.
"Certainly," said the American, with
this proviso, that the first one that meets
the representative Of that nation shalt
inform him of the slight"
II gave to all nations but one; the ma
ton that excepted was-eid,nnation."
John Bull sat down amid the univer-
sal shout of laughter that followed the
announcement, with the not very char
liable wish that the author Of this sen.
timent might be well toasted by the rep.

Consolidntion-Itenas

WAsnrAGToN, Jan. THE consolida-
ton of the quarter masters subsistence
and pay departments of the army, Is
engaging the attention of the general
officer now in Congress. General Grant
is understood to favor it.
1t is reported that the committee on
Ways and Means will not Recommend
any change in the tax OH cotton.
Justice Nelson to-day delivered an
opinion in the New York bank cases,
affirming the decision of the lower
Court. Chase, Wayne, and Swayne dis
sented.
1t is stated that General Grants
friends denv that he approves the Pres
ldent's veto message as claimed.
There was q full attendance in both
Houses to-day, as though something
of special interest was looked for. 1t
is rumored on the floor that Mr.. Ash
ley will state facts in his possession,
going to justify the proposed impeach-
ment, and Mr.. Wade will give the Sen
ate his impression of the South.
WASHINGTON, January Mr.. Loan,
of Missouri, offered q resolution looking
to the impeachment of the President.
After the veto message was received the

There is letter of his in existence as
follows: "My dear friend: left my
knife at your lodgings yes arday. Pray

Gallon. p. S.-Never mind sending it;

The anecdote published of General
Lees aversion to having his place OF
business defiled by smokers, is support
ed by the still more pungent one that
follows, which is told of John Randolph:
Shortly after his return from England,
Mr.. Randolph was out dining. A volu-
BILE, impertinent fellow-"a knave, very
voluble, who was an inveterate smoker
-puffed his tobaeco-smoke into Ran
dolph's face, at the same time inquiring,
.'Mr. Randolph, do gentlemen smoke
much in Englandr This was too much
for Randolph's equanimity. He blew
the smoke away, and turning sharply
on his questioner, replied-"No, SIT
nor anywhere else~
Gentlemen of the jury" said an old
English Judge Baron PerroD in sum-
ming up the evidence in a trial where
the witnesses had sworn with noble
tenacity of purpose, "there are fifteen
witnesses who swear that the water
course used to flow in ditch on the
north side of the hedge. On the other
hand, gentlemen, if you subtract nine
from fifteen, there remain six witnesses
wholly uncontradicted, and l recon-
mend you to give your verdict for the
party who called those six witnesses"
This process, however, was hardly SO
clever as that of the Irish prisoner &C
cused of stealing shirt from hedge:
"Here are three people who swear they
saw YOU take it," said the magistrate.
"Bad luck to themw exclaimed Paud-
heen; 81 can bring six honester people
who'll swear they didn't see me take 1t"

During the past week the Congress
sional Committee on Retrenchment and
Reform, of which the Hon. Mr.. Hubbard
is chairman, have taken large amount
of testimony in relation to the mode of
transacting business at the Custom
House, and the Prerequisites" of certain
officials there. The evidence so far re-
ceived is of the most startling character.
1t is said that one official has made over
thirty thousand dollars in addition to
his salary. The immense amount de-
rived from the seizure of struggled
goods, and the expenses of the manage
ment of the Custom House, have also
been under the consideration of the
committee, and it is understood that
they will present a report to Congress
recommending that the principal Off
Gals of the Custom House shall only
receive their regular salaries, and be de-
prived in future of the pro rata amount
of the seizures.
1t is believed that several of the Off
Gals will resign next week.-New York
