THE UNION AND AMERICAN.
AN ABSURD STORY.
remarkable Adventures ~ Truth,
Stranger than Fiction,

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
We have now employed in this office ,
man who has been in the English army
Ior over 35 years; was at the siege OF
Lucknow, and had both ears cut off
While sticking his head out of a sally,
port.
he afterward served on the staff OF
wellington, at Waterloo, and subsequent
" accompanied Bonaparte in his celebra-
ted Egyptian campaign, where he was
arrested for conniYing at an elopement
with the Sphynx, and was confined in the
pyramids for three weary years He
has been in 49, pitched battles, and a
great many that were not pitched. Eve
IlyDody has read of the butcher who was
killing a beef for the Commissary when
the Balaklaya charge was sounded, and
who seized an ak, mounted a horse and
went through the Russian battery and
back safely. Well, this is the man we
are writing about. He relates that thrill
ing episode in his checkered history with
much enthusiasm. He used TO have a
medal, but grizzly bear snatched it off
his shirt bosom while he was laying the
last tie on the China and Siberian Rail
way, Eastern division. He says he is now
tired of travel and adventure, and pro-
poses to settle down, and it's the general
opinion thst he will. He neither smokes,
chews, drinks whisky or swears, and can
set type as well as he used to fight. He
is a cuss in his way, and can't be beat for
stamps.

certify that cultivated 81 acres of Norway Oats
the present season, my farm near Concord. L
gave them the same cultivation and the same soil
that gave my black oats, and the result has been
that the "Ramsdell Norways" yielded more than
double my black oats The stalks are very large
and strong, and the heads yield more than double
the number of kernels of the ordinary varieties
am Of the opinion these oats are well adapted to
the soil and climate of the South generally, and
that farmers should not fail to raise them and
on their richest soil If they choose the stalks are
sufficiently strong to prevent lodging. ] hope the
farmers in this section will not fail to secure seed
at an early day for their general introduction /
shall cultivate other variety of oats on my farm

rency received to-day from New York
was slO3 500.
A letter recently appeared 10 the news
papers, protesting to have been fur
nished for publication by prominent Gu
ban patriots, dated Washington, August
%, and purporting to have been written
by Senior Roberts, Spanish Minister, to
the Captain General of Cuba, and inter-
cepted. 10 this letter Senior Roberts is
represented as giving information about
the status of gunboats now building in
this country for the Spanish government,
stating that the bslligerents will not be
considered in haste, but that probably the
future will be in favor of the Cubans,
etc. w. R. Roberts, under his own sig :
nature, to-day, says the letter has not a
word of truth in it, aud says the argu'
ment in itselfis mere awkward forgery.

Extraordinary Apparition-A Fire

The Cairo Bulletin says: We have
been placed in possession OF the de-
tails of story which we should treat
as the workings Of disordered imagiua-
ton, were it not that clear headed and
collected gentleman assure us of their
truth. They are as follows:
During the storm that preceded the
eclipse, FIRE bird, about the size of a
full grown eagle, perched itself upon the
TOP Of the jackstsff en- the steamer Cen
eral Anderson. It's shape was well and
sharply defined, and from its outlines
there eminsted constant luminous or
phosphorescent rays or jets. When
this strange sppsrition perched upon the
iacks,aff, and how i. disappeared, are
aot known to, single individual on
the boat. We were at first disposed to
believe it an, optical illusion, but this
idea was dissipated by the assurance
that it maintained its position during an
interval Of fifteen or twenty minutes-s
sufficient length of time to allow OF de-
liberate view aud study of all the details.
The entire crew on watch saw 1.-THE more
superstitious portion declaring It az i'll
omen. This portion firmly believing that
the fiery visitor came to warn them Of the
burning ofthe boat, came ashore at Cairo
in state of almost pitisble trepidatiou,
feeling that they had made q narrow es-
cape indeed.
What this ignigenous object was We
shall not attempt to say. i is something
new in the history Of inland navigation.
