tryman who was coming from that place
to Boston on one of the steamers. and
who met with curious accident. The
vessels, it seems, have fire annihilators
placed round in convenient spots. The
gentleman from the interior became
thirsty; eyed an annihiator for some
time and evidently concluded it was some
new-fangled drinking arrangement, and
was not going to show his greenness by
asking about it. So he stepped up
smartly. put the nozzle in his mouth and
turned it on. The effect was instantane-

wanted to know if ''the bier had burst!"

CHICAGO, JAM 4th, 1868.
My version of the ruin of the Eastern

viz, as follows. Previous to the rebellion
in this country the American built sailing
vessels were the fastest and best On the
ocean. Donald Mckay of Boston, and
other large ship building firms. built al
most expressly for the English, India.
China and Australian merchants, and
when this question was brought up before
the British public, some twelve or four
teen years ago, it was said that the Amer
Jean ship builders had nearly closed up
the English establishments, not because
they were any cheaper, but simply be-
cause they were faster sailers. English
men acknowledged that the Americans
were the best naval architects in the
world. But when the war broke out you
had other fish to fry, and England as well
as other countries overlook you in this
handicraft. The war disOrganized your
values which have not yet found their
proper level.

ONED AT A LOVE FEAST

A letter 10 the Chicago Tribune, dated al
Naperville, III. June 10, says:
Never before in the history Of Naperville
was such an excitement created az on last
Sunday evening, when it was reported
that the entire congregation of the Dunk
ard Church who we're celebrating a love
feast, had been poisoned by eating meat
prepared in a copper kettle and allowed to
remain there until the metal had become
oxydized. Nearly every one in the viii
lage had friend or a relative in attend
ance, and consequently there was a general
rush for the church in question. Upon
entering the building the scene which met
their gaze verified the reports. In differ
ent portions of the church were the sutfer-
ers, some sitting up, others lying down, the
latter twisting themselves into all sorts Of
positions, rolling around the floor, and all
apparently suffering the most excruciating
pain.
Medical assistance was at once sum
moned, but, as it was very limited, consid-
erabie time elapsed before all could be at

gave evidence Of suffering the most we're

Special to the Louisville Courier.

In Charleston, South Carolina, a few
days ago, while Ames' circus and MENACE
RE were on exhibition, the wind blew down
a part of the pavilion, and the noise fright
ened the beasts and set them fighting. In
one cage were confined panther, or Bra
lillian tiger, and two or three African leo
pards-a sort Of happy family. These
savage brutes generally got along we'll
enough together, but if by any accident in
gamboling, or otherwise, blood was drawn,
they Immediately became enraged, and it
required the utmost prOmptness and Sc
verify on the part of the keepers to subdue
them and restore order. Owing to the
great noise and confusion, it was long
time before it was discovered that there
had been rumpus in the "happy family"
When the cage was at length examined, it
was found that the panther had killed and
half eaten one Of the leopards.

CHASE AND THE PRESTUENGY.

CHASE AND THE FhESl DEM 4.
| would be glad to know that the
ridiculous scheme of nominating Mr.
Chase, by Democratic votes, for the
Presidential office, bad been abandoned
by those with whom it originated. Every
body now knows that Mr. Chase, though
friendly to universal suffrage and uni
versal amnesty, is in favor Of admitting
all the States Of the South whose people
participated in the late rebellion, upon
the degrading terms demanded by Con-
gross, and under State Constitutions
never to be alteredsin regard to negro
suffrage, in all time to come; since all
allowed to vote under these same Cons
stitntions are sworn before being adj
mitted to the right Of suffrage, never to
aid in the overthrow OF this part Of their
organic law, either directly or indirectly.
No man, is presumed now so stupid as to
suppose that Mr. Chase would, under
under any circumstances, yield his
sanction 70 the financial policy with
which Mr. Pendleton is SO honorably
identified He is for paying the whole
mass of national Indebtedness in gold
and silver, without regard to the general
ruin Of the great body Of tax-paying peo-
pie To suppose that Democratic
Convention, or that any respectable
member thereof would consent to 60
out Of oar o1oR party organization, and
nominate a man Of Mr. Chase's an
tecedents and ayowed principles seems to
me wholly unjustifed by any facts exist
ing at present H.
II is well the truth in regard to this
matter should be stated clearly and en-
phatically: The nomination OF Mr..
Chase Would be the GisJdndmento of the
Democratic party the honest members of
which, united with other patriotic citizens
concurring with them in sentiment, would
inlallibly come together and cooperate in
saving the republic from degradation and
ruin
As to Tennessee, whatever others may
conjecture on the subject l feel abso-
lutely sure that Mr.. Chase will never get
the vote Of one conventional delegate
from this State There are not twenty
Democrats in Tennessee who would con-
sent, under any circumstances, to support
Mr. Chase's claims to the Presidency.
1t is believed that he had not a knoloa
supporter in our recent State Convention.
Five-sixths of the convention were unde-
niably warm Pendleton men, and sup
porters Of his financial policy Let as
then have no apprehensions whatever in
regard to the action Of our delegates
They are doubtless all honorable men,
and they will vote in New York for that
one of our sound Democratic statesmen,
entertaining opinions in harmony with
our conventional resolutions, who shall
be able 10 command The largest number
Of potes from those States Hkely to gire
Democratic majoriaes in the Presidential
election A delegate from Tennessee
betraying his trust in so important a
matter, would certainly notpass an overly
pleasant time when he got back to the
State again, after such dereliction of
duty. JUSTICE
