A NEW STORY ON Tom CoRwIN.-
Don Platt, in one Of his Washington
letters, relates the following anecdote
illustrating the politeness and humor of
the late Tom Corwip, of Ohio:
He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late one
night, very tired from long stage ride
during the day. The great humorist
and statesman retired to bed, observing
as he did so that some one occupied
another bed in the opposite corner. The
Honorable Tom was soon fast asleep and
snoring tremendously. The other travel
er bore the infiction as long as human
endurance could go, and then sang out ;
"Oh sir, sir, sir
"Hello, hello p cried Tom, sitting up
wildly in bed, sswhat is the matter p
ooh SIR" exclaimed the sufferer,
styou snore, sir"
sDid l snore," demanded Corwin
"Is it possible 2 | really beg your pardon
SIR"
And so saying, he dropped asleep
again-and again the dreadful snoring
went on. The poor man in the next
bed again complained.
s'Sir, sir; oh sir"
eI say what is it ?" responded Corwin
.'You are snoring again, sir"
"Why, really am ashamed of myself
beg thousand pardons for my impo.
| liteness."
And again the Senator sought repose
but the snoring was worse than ever, and
the sufferer once more called attention
| to the offense.
"Look here, sir" cried the Senator
"you have walened me up three times
and twice have apologized; what more
can gentleman ask Now I am tired
and sleepy, and if you disturb me again
why d-n it, I'll brain you with boot
jack"

Drowned.

A Number of PrussIan soldiers
Drowned.
A ssd event is Just reported from Bresian.
It appears that three companies of the
Tenth Regiment were returning from the
exercising ground in the Burgerwerder,
and whilst crossing the Oder in the ferry
boat, another barge full of soldiers ran
against it with great force, precipitatin
the men into the river, where the current
was running with great violence. The men
in the ferry-boat, in endeavoring to save
their comrades, rushed to one side, by which
it was capsized, and in moment the
whole of the five hundred soldiers were
immersed and seen struggling for their
existence. Though they were all good
swimmers, they were so impeded by their
arms and accoutremeuts-being in heavy
marching ordsr-and SO confined by want
of space for free action, that great many
sank to rise no more. Fortunately, the
crew of a timber barge lying near the
spot, with great presence of mind,
launched a number of spars and
boards, which many of the soldiers
were able to grasp, and though carried
down long way by the current, they
ultimately effected a landing. More than
twenty of the men were dragged out of
the water in a senseless condition; but as
many of the army surgeons had FASTENED
down to the scene of the accident, they
were all restored to life, with the excep-
ton of three. The swimming master of
the regiment was occupied for long time
afterwards in diving and bringing up a
number of muskets, helmets, knapsacks
and other military paraphernalia.

Our Cork correspondent telegraphs ::
Eight or ten thousand people assembled at
Treaty Stone, Limerick, yesterday to ex-
press sympathy with France. A brass band
attended, and profuse display Of banners
was made bearing various Inscriptions, one
being, 'God save France and our Holy
Father, the Pope Resolutions were passed
expressing the hope that France would
come victorious out of the struggle, and de-
claring that the splendid example of France,
whose people surround the flag In ire
frsgable unity, should admonish Irish
men to sink their differences, and
unite for the interests of ireland in
a spirit of patriotic devotion. A speaker
who ventured to say the Irish would de-
fend Queen Victoria evoked great uproar
and indignant denials. Another defed
England to go to war, and declared her
forces were shattered and disorgan-
lied. After the meeting, two thousand
persons paraded in military order, pre-
coded by band, and carrying an enor-
nous French tri-color. The police did not
interfere at all.
In Belfast telegram we read: Some
disturbances occurred in Derry on Satur-
day night and Sunday morning. The work
ing-men had an excursion, and on their re-
turn at 10 o'clock Saturday night, their
band played national airs, and q crowd
which followed cried, "To hell with King
William, and cheered for France. The
Protestant party responded, ''To hell with
the Pope" and cheered for Prussia and
mo surrender" A riot ensued, stones
were freely used, and shots we're exchanged.
Two men were seriously wounded with
slugs; others were injured. Houses were
wrecked. The military were called out by
the Mayor, but the authorities RETAINED
from firing on the mob. Order was not
restored until daylight vest erday morning.

A GREAT STRIKE.

On Friday, Aug. 10, there were nearly
s, 900 factory operatives Son the street, at
Fall River, Mass. This is the result of q
strike among the cotton hands. The city
of Fall River is noted the country over
for its immense production of cotton
goods almost wholly print cloths no less
than twenty mills running over half mil
lion of spindles, and 1900 looms being
occupied with this manufacture, produc-
ing upwards of 100, 900, 900 yards per an
mum, and giving employment to probably
5000 operatives in the various depart
ments. The strikers resist a reduction of
from seven and half to ten per cent on
the wages of the spinners and weaVers.
The mill owners express themselves per-
fectly satisfied with the condition of af-
fairs. They declare that at this season
they only care to run for the sake of keep
ing the machinery in trim, and that their
mills were not paying them at the old
wages; therefore, until the demand for
goods springs up, they are willing to re-
main idle. The mill owners say they will
not yield. The spinners say that under
the old scale of pay man could not earn
over $10.50 week, some could make $12
and others only 50, the fair average being
about 5000.
