ARRIVAL OF THE MAMMOTH DOCK.

Great excitement was caused In the
afternoon of Tuesday last by the intelli-
gencc that the long talked Of moment
would soon arrive when the great Ber-
muda Floating Dock would make its APP
pearance in Bermuda waters. II. NJ. S.
"Lapwing" arrived that day with the
somewhat startling and certainly uueX-
pected intelligence that the Dock was
but 346 miles from these Islands on the
previous Sunday, and that she might rea-
SonabIy be expected here on the following
day-Wednesday. At sunrise next
ing the signals were hoiSled that proved
the expedition to be in sight in "A south
e~asterly direction, and expectation was at
once on tip-tOe. Al eight o'clock bunting
was displayed at almost every private
flagstaff in town-in short it was a perfect
gala day. The report that the Dock was
on its way round ST. GATHERINGS Point
spread like wild-fre, and crowds of men,
women, and children at once made a rush
for Ducking-Stool and the hills in its
vicinity from which a view could be had.
Here, despite the scorching rays Of the
sun, they took their stand and maintained
it resoIu'eIy until all hope Of seeing the
Dock on that day had died out. Nearly
every shop in town had been closed in
the forenoon, and we can with perfect
safety aver that never on any previous
occasion had so mary pairs of anxious and
expectant eyes been directed towards ST.
GATHERINGS. BY and bye the report gets
circulated that the Dock has TO be ligh-
tened before she can with safety proceed
up the North Side-sIowIy but p%erceptibly
the crowd becomes less, and at last when
conviction forces itseIfupon the attention
of even tie most r%esolute Dock expectant,
the North-Side wears its usual aspect
No Dock tonight! This was most GER
tainly a decided damper, and the disap-
pointment with many was so keen that
they expressed their determination TO stay
at home ia future and mind their own
business. The next day, however, saw
quite as large a crowd assembled, for the
signal that the Dock was "coming in the
channel, east' was not 10 be mistaken.
Yes, there it is, sure enough and what a
novel looking monster! A contemporary
has not inaptIy remarked that it resembled
what he would take to be the Great East
ern with head and stern saw off. AS she
neared the Ducking Stool numerous were
the expressions of establishment and de-
light at the novel spectacle. One intel
~lectual individual remarked that "sure

P1EsIDENr JOHNSON AT MARY,
VILE

The reporter for the Knoxville
Wing was at Maryville on the I'd
inst, and furnishes the following in
regard to the disgracelul efforts to
drive ex-President johnson from
the stand:
Mr. johnson dwelt at length on ma
tional affairs, and was twice interrupted,
each case resulting almost in row;
Amid the excitement he stood as calm as
if no danger had menaced him. The
cries of take him down! shoot him!
and others as violent though couched in
language too indecent for repetition, were
met with chances of cool defiance. lie
was a man Of marble, save that Of his
eve flashed with unutterable resolve to
maintain to the last the course be had
marked out His friends were deter~
mined to protect him at all hazards, and
when the third effort at intimidation was
thwarted, the enemy gave up the attempt
in disgust and despair.
OF the speech the reporter says:
"Mr johnson spoke about three hours
and a half, aud made some of the strong
est arguments we have ever heard. We
will not be vain enough to attempt praise,
for it is needless, and we remember the
time when the speaker was the last man
we would have mentioned except in
terms of deuuuciation. Bot facts are
stubborn things and his most inveter-
ate enemies, if they gave him patient
hearing, went away with food for thought
sufficient for many day"

NEWS OF THE DAY.

1t is understood at Washington that 10
regular cabinet meeting will be held IN
til about September l.
The accounts Of the explosion in the
mines at Dresden, Saxony, have not
been exaggerated. Three hundred and
twenty-one dead are counted. The
scenes in the neighbOrhoOd of the mines
are heart rending.
The Chicago and Northwestern Rails
way will on and after Friday, Aug. e,
reduce the first class fare from Chicago
to San Francisco to $l30, instead Of the
present rate $l53. 1t will also fix an
emigrant rate at $50, from and after the
same date.
There was sad occurrence at Ports>
mouth, Ohio, on Friday evening. Two
little daughters of Mr.. Oliver, residing
on Ninth street, aged nine and eleven
years, were playing with loaded pistol,
when the eldest discharged the weapon,
killing her sister almost instantly. Fl.
Colonies Ryan and Currier, who are
now at Niagara Falls, Canada, ask per>
mission to return to New York city on
giving parole to appear for examination or
trial. Marshal Barlow says the request
cannot be complied with, as neither of
the men is on the footing Of the men just
liberated from Fort lafayette, none Of
whom, as far as known, either forfeited
their bonds to appear for examination or
trial. or to refrain from violating the neu
trality laws.

cure further evidence. He next saw
her last night, coming out of No
70 Clarke street, and arrested her
and conveyed her to the Central
office cells, where fully, al one
o'clock this morning, had a long
Interview with her. She stated that
a colored woman named Louisa
Harris, at the time of the robbery
employed by Mrs. Gleason, but now
living at 25 Clarke street, had met
her and told her that if she would
swear not to betray her she would
explain the burglary at No. 14O
Fourth street. Mary took the pre-.
scribed oath, when Harris told her
aportion of the goods were secreted
in the furnace, and she consented to
get them out of the house. This
morning at nine o'clock Mr.. Tully
arrested Harris, who, as yet, has
made no admissions. 1 '.- 8 I
1t is due to the officer to say that
the manner in which he has worked
up this case he has developed re-
markable ability and consciousness,
and has followed the slight clue to |
successful issue, not in the hope of
but to indicate the reputa-
ton ofsapoor, but unfortunate man.
Verify, "Truth crushed to earth
will rise again." and poor Won Els
ner can now hold up his head and
thank God that the incubus that
has dragged him down to the dust
has been dispelled, and he can again
go out into the world with an UNI
sullied name.
