A SPECK OF WAR.
The ST. Clair Canal Tr0uble-Vhe British Flag
Flying over the Works

From the Detroit Free Press, Oct. 10.
There was rumor current yesterday forenoon
that the Canadian Government had taken formal
possession of the st. Clair Flats Ship Canal, and
fact. Monday afternoon, acting under orders
from the Government at Ottawa the gunboat
Prince Alfred arrived at the canal from Coling-
wood, having on board the Hon. Mr.. Langeyin,
Minister of Public Works. and other Canadian
officials, and proceeded to take formal
possession of the works. hoisting the
British flag as evidence of their
during the night, lying off Windsor, and yester-
day morning the action taken by the officials
was telegraphed to the Ottawa government.
Soon after the gunboat weighed anchor for the
Flats, where she was stationed all day yester-
day, her presence and the flying British flag
causing much wonderment to mariners. Some
of the city officials of Windsor were of the party
who went up yesterday, and those officials left
at home were greatly pleased over what they
chose to call British pluck" They argued
that the Dominion Government would hold
the canal until the question of ownership was
fully and finally decided, and-perhaps it will.
There was any amount of excitement among
mariners and ship owners last evening, aud
every Yankee met with had his knapsack ready
packed for call. Tue local effect will be to
cause much excitement, and 1t may be hard to
restrain the impatienee of our people until the
question can be settled by diplomacy. The
Toronto Telegraph of yesterday has the follow

General:-At this moment when great sacrIege
and the most enormous injustice are about to be
coDsummated and the troops of the Catholic King
without provocaton, nay, without even The least
appearance Of any motive, surround and besege
the capital OF the Catholic world, feel, in the first
place, the necessity of thanking you, General, and
entire army for your generous conduct up to
the present time for the affection which you have
shown to the Holy See, and for your willingness to
CoDsecrae yourselves entirely to the defense OF this
metropols' May these words be a solemn document
certify to the discipline, the loyalty and the vaor
of the army in the service OF this Holy See.
AS far regards the duration OF the defense, I
feel it my duty to command that this shall only
sst in such protest as shall testify to the violence
done TO us, and nothing more. In other words, that
negotiations for surrender shall be opened so soon as
a breach shall have been made
At q moment in which the whole Of Europe is
mourning over the numerous victims Of the war
now In progress between two great nations never
let IL be said that the Vicar of Jesus Christ however
uniusty assaed, had to give his consent to great
shedding OF blood. Our cause is the cause OF God,
and we put our whole defense in His hands From

IN Wisconsin there are probably not fewer
than twenty thousand women at work in the
ne'd. They are not only Germans, Irish and
scandinavian, but Yankees; not only the
poor, but thousands of the fair and intelligent
ciasses. When the pinch comes it is common
for girls to hang up the rolling pin, shut up
the piano, and go to the field and help their
'a'ners. They ride reaper as skilliully as
any man; they rake and bind dexierously;
they direct the cultivator; they run the
tnreshns machine; they pitch bundles; in
extreme need they even give their arms and
ingenuity to that bucolic architecture, build
ing the load and stack. A blue-eyed girl in
central Wisconsin last year sheared iorty
sheep in day, and received four dollars for
II. A hundred thousand western women are
working in the field this season.

Ihe Houston, Texas, Telegraph tells a
curious story ofa torpedo boat which was
made by the Confederates in Charleston har-
Dor during the war. The career of this SUBJ
marine wonder was short-lived, she having
been sunk to the bottom of the sea in her first
exploit, which was the destruction of the war
sh'p housatonic, carrying down with her
'no captain and crew. Within few weeks
pas' uiVers in submarine armor have visited
.he wreck OF the Housatonic, and have found
the little torpedo vessel lying BY her huge
victim, and within her are the skeletons of
her daring crew. Twice had this nameless
craft sunk before, carrying with her the entire
crew, except the captain, but had been raised
and placed in service only to meet destruc-
tlOn along with her enemy. She was built of
OF boiler iron, and impervious to water on air.
her extreme length was about thirty feet,
with live or six feet beam, and about five or
SIX feet depth of hold. In general contour
she resemhled cigar sharp at both ends. She
was propelled by screw, the shaft OF which
ran horizontally along her hold, almost from
stem to stern, and was turned by the manual
'orce OF eight men. seated along it on either
