A Touch of Romance

We copy the following from the Shreve
port Southeastern:
An old French gentleman had a son to
leave him eight years ago, upon whom much
pains and a superior education had been be-
slowed. Some four years ago he heard that
the VANDERBILT would not be just to call
him prOdigal son-was in Alexandria, in
this State. He came there but failed to find
him, and subsequently hearing that he had
gone to Europe, he went thither-a father
IN search OF his Japhet. His search there
was fruitless. Learning that he was in New
York, he re-crOssed the Atlantic. only again
to be disappointed; though there heard that
his son was in jefferson, Texas. Recently
he went on up to that place. DisappOint
ment again resulted. While Oh boat at
orr levee, on his return, a young man came
aboard to sell some turkeys whose appear
ance struck him as familiar. Upon inquiry,
he learned that the man kept a market gar
den near this place and might be found
about the market-hOuse. Going there,
father and son met, when the latter recog-
nized the old gentleman as his veritable
parent
A reconciliation followed-indeed, we do
not know that any decided rupture had ever
taken place. 1t seems that the young man
has been carrying on market garden near
here for some four years. The old gentle
mans ideas of prOpriety were considerably
shocked that Il son of his should be engaged
in raising cabbages and peddling poultry.
and insists that he must adopt some other
line of business, and will. we learn, give
him the means or doing 50 mere. Tor else

The Torpedo Corps.
The Washington Republican says:


The corps of officers organized few
months since for the purpose of examining
aud experimenting with tOrpedoes, of both
old and new patterns, have accomplished a
great deal Of work during the past summer,
and it is understood that they will prepare a
report recommending that greater attention
be given to the use of torpedoes in time of
war. and especially for the purpose of de-
Tending seaports. With few unimportant
exceptions, tOrpedoes were little used by the
Union forces during the rebellion, while
they were largely employed by the rebels
for the obstruction of channels of rivers and
harbOrs, resulting in the total loss of several
of our naval vessels, and serious injuries to
others. In view of the incapacity of fortiti
cations generally to prevent the passage of
vessels heavily clad with iron, much atten-
ton is being given by foreign governments
as well us our own to systems of harbor de
Tense. based. in a great measure, upon the
use of Instructions TO impede the passage of
vessels, and torpedoes to deseroy them.
