PURSUIT OF THE HERMANN.


New YORK, September 26.-The steam
ship Scotia, of the Cunard line, which ar
rived yesterday from Liverpool and Queens
town, brings news that must cause much
uneasness to all those interested, directly
or indirectly, in the steamer Hermann, Of
the Hamburg line, which put to sea at an
early hour yesterday morning. About
eight o'clock in the forenoon the Scotia
sighted the Hermann and signaled her, the
latter replying. The German steamer was
at the time going at an extraordinary rate,
having on . full head of steam. She was
bearing outward so rapidly as to attract the
attention of the Scotia's passengers. The
cause OF her unusual speed was soon ex-
planned by the appearance of a French war
vessel, also under full steam and in quick
chase of the Hermann. The two vessels, as
sighted from the Scotia, must have been
within view Of each other, and both seemed
inclined to keep up the race. The Hermann
was long way ahead of the Frenchman,
and the belief on board the Scotia was, that
should she be able to maintain the same
distance between herself and her pursuer
until nighttall, she could then escape in the
darkness.
Immediately on the arrival of the Scotia,
Captain jenkins reported the matter to the
custom house officers, who boarded his
steamer. The Hermann had very narrow
escape from encountering another enemy, in
the French gunboat Bonvet, which crnised
in over the bar only five hours before. She
was sighted by the Scotia. The Bonvet
must have passed the German vessel with
out being aware of her presence. Had she
encountered the Hermann in front, and the
other war vessel in the rear, the Bremen
line would be minus steamer to-day. I'm
til we receive further intelligence, the
gravest apprehensions must be entertained
for the safety Of the steamer. The gun
boat Bonyet is commanded by an expert
enced officer, Lieutenant Flinguet, and has
on board full complement of men and
large stores of ammunition and other war
material. She comes from St. Pierre
under special orders.
Last night she and sister vessel of the
French navy lay quietly at anchor opposite
the barge office. Another il cruising outside
Sandy Hook, and fourth one, which passed
through Hell Gate Monday night, has put
out to sea. Experienced seataring men
blame the agents for starting the Hermann
in daylight, and all condemn the action of
the company in announcing, officially, that
the Bremen steamers will resume their trips,
leaving New York as follows: October 4, the
October IL, the Cambria, and
October 49, the Hammon;a.

AND KISSES.

One day when I came home fatigued.
AND felt inclined to grumble.
Because my life was one of toll,
Because my lot was humble.
/ said to Kate my darling wife,
In whom my whole life's bliss is.
"What have You got for dinner, Kate
why, observation-disclosures and kisses"
Though worn and tired, my heart leaped up
As those plain words she uttered,
Why should envy those whose bread
Than mines more thickly butteredf
/ said "We'll have dessert at once
What's that ~ she asked. why this Is"
] kissed her All, what sweeter meal
Than bread and-cheese and kiSsess
gased at her with pure delight,
She nodded and smiled gaily:
said, my love, on such q meal
I'd dine with pleasure daily,
When I but think of you, dear girl,
pity those fine misses
Who turn their noses up and pout
At bread-and- cheese and kisses
"And when look on your dear form.
And on your face so hOmely;
And when look in your dear eyes,
And on your dress so cOmely;
And when hold yOu in my arms,
laugh at Fortunes misses,
Pm blessed in you content with you
And bread -and-cheese and kisses.

LIKE THE ANVIL"

'Stand like the anvil" when the stroke
OF stalwart men falls fierce and fast;
Storms but more deeply root the oak,
Whose brawny arms embrace the blast.
"Stand like the anvily when the sparks
Fly far and wide, a fiery shower;
Virtue and truth must still be marks
Where malice proves it's want Of power.
"Stand like the anvil" when the bar
Lies red and glowing Oh its breast;
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its rest.
"Stand like the anvil" noise and heat
Are born of earth and die with time;
The soul, like God, its source and seat,
Is solemn, still, serene, sublime.
