A NEW INSTRUMENT OF WAR.-Captain
Ericsson announces in a communication to
the Army and Nary Journal that be has
perfected a system of submarine attack by
which he can destroy the largest iron-clad
ever built. The great problem has not been
to make a torpedo, but to place thunder
ships bottom. The resistance of the water
is so great that the explosive projectiles have
always proved failures when designed to strike
below the water line, and other means of at
taching the torpedo have been found too cum.
brous and uncertain to be available. Can't.
Ericsson is confident that he has devised
projectie which will answer the purpose 1t
is an elongated shell, charged with 800 lbs. of
dynamite, and shot from a 15-inch gun at
such an elevation as to enter the water near
the hostile vessel and strike the hull any
where below the water line. 1t is lifted VIII
percussion cap which explodss upon very
slight impact against the hull, SO tnaa y. .ne . We
locity of the shell when It reaches a'S uese,
nation need not be high. Inc gun ls Carried
on a swift armored boat, p,otecteu ny tur,

offer 10 test this invention. He is ready to
fit ont at his own cost and risk fast screw

An Appalling Descent A sailor Falls
One Hundred Feet.
From the San Francisco Bulletin. Dec. Sl.l

From the San Francisco Bulletin. Dec. Sl.]
About ten o'clock yesterday, as a re-
porter for this paper was rambling along
the wharves, viewing the shipping, man
traps end other objee!s of interest, his
attention was called to a bark lying at
India Deck. A sailor belonging to the
bark Anne Main was engaged in resting
yard rope at the main top-gsllant mast
head, and as he appeared to experience
some difficulty in performing the work, q
number of longshoremen aud others were
watching his msnsuvers with consider
able interest. The action of the waves
caused the vessel to rock a little-not
enough to starte any sea-faring man,
however, or cause any hesitation on his
part to 20 aloft, aud it was noticed that
the man moved around very cautiously.
He had nearly succeeded in accomplish
ing his task when the vessel gave an ex-
ira severe lurch; he lost his footing and
hold and fell from the giddy hight. In
medistely on leaving the head of the mast,
his body assumed q horizontalposition,
and, striking the main yard below, be
turned a sonersault in the air, and
terminated his terrible fall on pile of
dunnage near the main hatch. The
spectators in the vicinity, who had
watched his course with bated breath,
now rushed to his rescue, aRd found him
still alive, though suffering the most
intense agony. His right side from shoul-
der to knee, was badly bruised, the thigh
broken, aud he gave evidence Of severe
internal injuries. 1t is barely possible
that he will recover, but those who wit
messed his frighlful fall, who saw him
clutch for the ropes while going through
the air, finalIy receiving such terrible
check, would deem such result miracu-

alleviate his sufferings

livered, and the King. without further
parley, obeyed what be believed to be the
request of his royal ally, and thus did
treason meet the punishment due its
crime.
The daughter of the King being
charmed with the person and manners OF
the foreign Prince, evinced such marks
of tenderness that Hamlet could not but
perceive the depth of the conquest. He
was not insensibe TO her attractions, and
receiving the Kings assent in the course
of few davs, led her to the nuptial altar.
Amid all joys he was, however, like
perturbed ghost that could not rest; and
before many suns had risen and set, he
obtained s hard-wrung leave from bis
bride, once more set sail, aud appeared
at Esinere just in time to be witness Of
the splendid rites which Fengo (suppos-
ing him to be murdered) had prepared
for his funeral. On the proclamation OF
his arrival, he was welcomed with enthu.
siasm by the people, whose idol he was,
and who had been overwhelmed with
grief when Fengo announced to them his
sudden death in England.
The King, infamed with so ruinous a
disappointment, and becoming doubly
jealous of his growing popularity, now
affected no Cancellation, but openly man
ifested his hatred and hostility. Hamlet
again had recourse to his pretended mad
ness, and committed so many alarming
acts that Fengo, fearing their direction,
ordered his sword to be locked in it's
scabbsrd, under the plea of guarding the
lunntic from personal harm. After va
rious adventures the Prince accomplished
the death Of his uncle's adherents and
vengeance on the fratricide himself, by
setting fire to the palace during the de-
| bauch of midnight banquet Rushing
in amid the a .nes, he kills Fengo with
his own hand. reproaching him at the
! moment with his murder, adultery and
incest Immediately on this act of retri-
button he was proclaimed lawful success
sor to the throne, and crowned with all
due solemuitv.

A American sIang.--A Junior Partner
Buying Goods I'm London.


The utter ignorance of the Eoglish of
the Specification Of Americas slang ex
pressions oftea causes some curious
scenes among them, and Yankee buyers
in England, who seem to think that
because their language is understood
generally, all their American idioms will
be. An expert buyer, junior partner in
one of our large American firms, at a
recent first visit to his correspondent in
an English manufacturing city, was
compIimented by the senior partner of
the house, who persisted in personally
showing goods to the American customer.
There, sir" said Dowlas, throwisg
out role of goods, :" what do you think
of that p
"Oh, that's played out" said the
American.
"Its what q sad Bull.
"It's played, | tell you" said the GUS
toner.
Played, ah really; we call it plad
h'yar 10 Epgland, but this isn't plaid
pad. you know" aQ
No" said Yankee, II don't mean
plad / mean to say its gone up.
"Ah, no, said Brtisher, mot at all /;
it has not gone up--quite the contrary.
We've actually taken off from the old
price"
over the left; its threepence too
high, now"
"No doubt of it, but our neighbors you
know on the left are not manufacturers,
you know" !.
Very likely; bat don't care 10 be
stuck when / get home."
Really. Most extraordinary. Is it
as dangerous in New York as the news
papers say 2
Yes; but / don't want these goods.
I've got some all ready that will knock
the spots out of 'sm.
But, my deah sir, there's no spots on
the goods, l assuah you. They are per-
feet"
"Well, well, suppose we switch off
on these goods anG try something else"
Certainly" said the Euglishmsn, and
to the infinite amusement of the Ameri-
cans friend, called clerk with wisp
broom, and directed him to switch off
any dust he could find, while he pro-
ceeded to show something else.
"There," said the Englishman, tri-
umphautly spreading out another fabric,
there's the hendsomest piece of goods
in England; 'alf o guinea yard"
II cant see it" said the customer.
"Can't see it? why you are looking
right at it; however. suppose you try the
light of this window" rWN
"No, l don't mean that, said the
American, II hsvn't got the stamps for
such goods"
Stamps No stamps required but
bill stamp, which we are happy to fur
nish."
This misunderstanding might have con-
tinue1 longer had not one of the younger
members of the house, seeing his seniors
perplexity, rescued the American and
put him through after the manner of his
copntrymeD.
