one of the old Thames watermen of the
time of the Star Chamber if he could have
climbed out Of his circle of the Inferno
Thursday evening, poised on the romantic
but shaky old bridge at Putney, and looked
upon the ancient river, his hearts delight,
once more The antique mariner would
doubtless have caviled at the degenerate
fashion of the dress of the gallants of to-
day, and sighed for the gay broideries and
sheeny jewels of the past; might have
been rather incredulous as to the assertions
of the spectators concerning the beauty Of
the " Shells as compared with the elabo-
rate barges in which the knights of James
court crossed the water to the grand din
ners at the hostelries in the evening and
might have wondered at the absence of the
showers of " largess" which were so uni
versal in his time. The river, too, now
chafng under embankments of stone, would
have seemed to him to have been modern
lied out of all its romance. The " citizen"
companys steamboats,, sweeping down
toward the tower, with their huge smoke
stacks and swirling paddle wheels, would
have shocked his remembrance of the
picturesque old barges which used to con-
vey, on special occasions, those few souls
who lived so far out of the world as at Put
ney to London. But he would have gazed
with pleasure had he penetrated to the
centre of the immense crowds on the rivers
brink, not far above the bridge, upon the
river champions of to-day, whose muscle
is not swollen by long swinging of sword,
but of oar-bIades whose costume is not
glittering mass of velvet and scarlet and
diamonds, but simple, close-ftting suit of
flannel, with here and there an ugly rent
in the garments, made in the intensity of
the struggle with the waves. His eyes
would have rested in admiration upon one
especial group, the cynosure of all eyes,
which represented two great nations, and
the best type of physical development. In
those brawny limbs. those strong, nervous
arms,

As SLOPES wild brook oe- little stone

teristics of the Cavaliers of his time which

The Story of a Michigan Drummer
ROV

Johnny" Clem, of the twenty-secOnd
Michigan regiment, is character. The
Detroit Post tells the story of his life as
follows:
John L. Clem, as he now writes his
name. is a native of Newark, Ohio. In
the spring of 1864, having scarcely seen
twelve summers yet, he followed an Ohio
regiment to Nashville, at that time the seat
of war in the West. On the 4th of July
following, he enlisted in the twenty-seeonGdi
Michigan regiment, and took part In all
its campaigns down to the bloody engage
,oent at Chicamauga His heroism in the
aforementioned battle brought him to the
notice of General Rosecrans, who, with
other deserved honors, promoted him to
the rank of sergeant. y complete outfit
for the infantile " orderly" was forwarded

citizens of Cincinnati, and its presentation
was. the occasion of the following pleasant
sketch by correspondent of that city

WoNAN's DEVOTION Remarkably Illus
ED.-Miss Carrie Ketehum, the young
girl who was shot and supposed mortally
wounded by her lover, Salvador CollOt. in
the City Park in New Orleans, two or three
months ago, has since persistentlv refused to
testify against him. She unexpectedly re
covered from her wounds, and on Friday
last was taken before the Grand Jury. and
still refused to answer any questions. The
foreman reported the facts to the Court, and
the Judge asked her if thirty days confine-
ment would soften her obstinaey, when she,
amid tears, answered that she was not obsti-
nate, but had nothing to say. The Judge
finally told her that he was afraid, if forced
to give evidence, she would commit perjury
to save the accused from well-deserved pun
ishment, and as the Grand Jury had re-
duested it, he would discharge her from Gus
tody. She was married to Collot on the
same evening.

Terrible Disaster at AyOndaIe,
Pennsylvania.
TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

On the 9th of September one of the most
frightful disasters which ever occurred in
this country happened at colliery, at
Avondale, Luzerne County, Penn.
The colliery in which this terrible acci-
dent occurred is entered by perpendicular
shaft, 327 feet deep, on the side of
mountain. From the bottom of it, 40 feet
below the surface of the valley, run two
main galleries, sloping upward, one 500
and the other 200 feet long. Smaller
passages and chambers, 80 in number,
branch off from these. There is no ac-
cess to the open air except by this single
shaft, which had to serve all the purposes

4 Saratoga correspondent says that the
ly this season, AID have now stolen two more
articles of male attire. They wear iaunty
sailor hats, which are tarpaulin in style, and
are of every conceivable shade; but the girls
do not wear them as an old salt would, on
the back of the head, for they incline them
over the nose at an angle of IS. They also
sport the most elaborate little sailor jackets.
The skirt is decidedly Hindoo affair. The
gentlemen (of the very fancy noodle school)
thinking fair exchange no robbery, have
stolen the ladies' blue wells, and wear them,
in little puffs, around their straw hats, Civ
ing them very snobby look.

NEW YORK.

NEW YoRK, June 2l.-The following
is condensed account of Minister
Webbs correspondence with the Brazil
ian Government;
Ia October, 1865, the American whale
ship Canada got ashore on the Garris
reefs, near the mouth Of the Rio Grande
Del Norte, and the Brazilian soldiers, in
spite Of the remembrance Of the Captain
and crew, seized the vessel and, selling
her cargo, deposited the proceeds in the

msnded by our Government; the own
ers renewed their claims 10 1864, through
Minister Webb. for damages and interest
to the amount Of 100000. Finally Min
lister Webb was authorized to compro-
mise on the payment of $40, 900 or one
fifth of the original amount. In April
last Baron Caligipiper, on behalf of the
Brazilian Government, repudiated the
offer, on the ground that the Brazilian
Minister ct Washington had not advised
his Government that he had been in.

Issued instructions TO their Minister in
Brazil; therefore he would wait until he
was officially informed of the fact
through their own Minister. General
Webb wrote to the Baron, protesting
against his taking such absurd ground,
and declaring that il Il we're maintained

from the Brazilian Foreign Office,
stating that no disrespeet was intended

fed instructions to General Webb, keeps

persons witnessed the game Of baseball
between the Red Stockings, of Cincinnati,
and the Atlantics, of this city, to-day.
The Atlantics we're short of their pitcher,
and their play was not up to their actual
standard, while the Red Stockings played
well, making but few misplays. The
game resulted in favor of the Cincin-
nstians by a score of u 10 Is.

certainty that it was in before, and from
which it cannot depart except in such
manner as shall have full consideration
for the respect due to Minister from
one Government to another.
On receiving this note General Webb
replied in severe language and demanded
his passports and obtained them. As he
was preparing to leave he discharged o
farewell epistle at the Brazilian authori'
ties, of which the following is given as a
fair sample sentence: I'm disregarding
my rights and grossly insulting my Gov
eminent, the present reactionary and
pro-slavery Government of Brazil has
also violated the rights which, by cour-
tesy, belong to my colleagues, and they
will, doubtless, collectively or each for
himself, do as l have done in the prem
ises. Brazil has been admitted into the
family of civilized nations, and being
within the pale she must be required to
discharge the duties she has voluntarily
assumed, and be taught the international
amenities of the age" This note appears
to have brought the Brazilians to their
senses, as the Government at once
yielded all that General Webb had de-
manded, and diplomatic relations were
forthwith restored.
