A Damaging Disclosure

The Washington Chronicle has the
following:
The subject of decay Of American
shipping interests is intimately con-
nected in its origin with that other vi
tai question of of the day-Our claims
upon England. As if to eXemplify
the old maxim, "WhOm the gods de-
stroy they first make mad, Earl Rus
sci, the head and front of England's
offending in the matter of the Ala
bama and other AnglO-COnfederate
pirates, has recently published two
volume of selections from his own
speeches and dispatches, and ingeni-
ously admits the virtual completely OF
the English Government of which he
was the chief, with the plot for the
destruction of American commerce.
HDuring the discussion" says Earl
Russell, "Of the questions relating To
Alabama and the Shenandoah 1t was
the great object of the British Gov
ernment to preserve for the subject
the security of trial by jury, ana tOT
the nation the legitimate and tucrGtiUe
trade Of ship6uading.
By this startling avOwal IT appears
that at the very time when Earl Rus
sci was daily trying to convince Mr..
Adams that the British Government
knew nothing of the Confederate pri-
vateers being fitted out in England,
and was giving daily assurance that
nothing of the kind should be done
while he could avoid it, he was really
doing all in his power to prcserUe tOT
the British subject the ttcTdttre trdde"
ofbuilding Alabamas and ShenandOas.

The Ann Jones Problem Solved.

A Nantucket correspondent gives
an entertaining illustration of the
"gradual progress of opinion" in this
anecdote about q shipmate who ac-
companied him on one of his early
whaling voyages: Stiles was a sim
ple-hearted, transparent young fellow;
and, when we sailed, had been pay
ing attention" for some time to a
young lady, who he had reason to think,
did not fully reciprOcate his ardent
feelings. At all events, the parting
on her side, was not so affectiOnate as
he could wish, and he was impressed
by the belief that she only kept him
as a standby, in default of a better
lover.
81 don't believe" Stiles would say,
with a Respondent shake of his head,
/ "don't believe Ann Jones llhave me
anyhow"
When we had been out a few
months, and had met with fair sue
cess, Stiles tone was modified. The
burden of his mOnOlOgue changed to
"Well, dunno but what Ann Jones
III have me, after all"
With thousand barrels of oil un-
DER matches, he DSCdile still llOIe
hopeful. "Chances is pretty good,
for Ann JONES'" he would say, 'pret-
ty good, nOw."
At fifteen hundred barrels he had
assumed a self-satifised manner, and
solilOquized-"I guess there's no dam
ger but what Ann Jones I'll have me
now" At two thousand barrels
"Ann Jones III be glad to get me now,
| know"
When we cut the last whale that
was to fill thevessel's hold, and squar-
ed away for home, Stiles threw his
hat in the air with wild Indian yell
of triumph-'T'll be id if PU hare

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1870-03-11


Billy Smith is a carriage maker in
the shop of Pulford & Co., in our viii
lage. Billy is a genius, as the yellow
and red stripes on Pulford's wagons
show; and while cOunterfeiting ma
ture one day, for his own amusement,
in the rear of the shop, his mind hap
pened to run on the subject of rotten
eggs, and forthwith one of these in
teresting subjects appeared on the
board beneath his magical brush. 1t
was represented as broken, and was
so natural that an observer might
fancy that it caused q disagreeable
odor. The picture remained there for
some time, all who had occasion to go
that way not caring to disturb a thing
so forbidding to the delicate sense of
the nasal protuberance. One day
Squire M saw it and applied his
fingers to his nose. Billy saw him,
and explained to him that it was only
paint. At first he would not believe,
but finally convinced he offered Billy
ten dollars to paint similar one on
his doorstep. The squire was some
thing of Wag, and wished to see the
effect produced on the ladies and gen.
tlemen who had been invited to q
party at his house that evening"
Billy received the ten dollars, and
promised to have the painting ready
in time.
Evening arrived, and so did the la
dies and gentlemen; and as each in
succession passed over Billy's paint
ing they elevated their feet and skirts,
and, applying their perfumed hand
kerchiefs to their noses, wondered if
the squire was aware of the presence
of that frightful thing on his door
step.
The party progressed, and the rot
ten egg was the subject of much re-
mark. Squire NJ heard, and felt
jolly over the success of his practical
joke. When everybody was chatting
at the table after supper, and not a
few of them about the "apparitiOn"
at the door, the squire arose, and ut
tering a preliminary "ahem !'' said:
"I suppose you all saw that on my
doorstep, didn't you ?"
Everybody assented. Some of the
females uttered a little scream, and
all of that sex famed themselves
most vigorously. The squire then re-
sumed:
"I had that placed there to Illus
trate the power of imagination, IS I'll
show you if you'll adjourn to the
door,"
All went.
"NOw," said the squire, taking out
his snowy handkerchief, "yOu will
see that this is not what you supposed
it was, but merely painting" And
he pressed the handkerchief on the
ILLUSTRATED" spot, then raised it sud-

THE YEARS.

What do / owe the years, that should bring
Green leaves TO crown the King?
Brown, barren sands, the thistle and the brieri
Dead love, and Knocked desire,
And sorrow, vast and pitiless as the sea:
These are the gifts to me.
What do I owe the years, that 1 should love
And sing the praise thereof?
Perhaps, the lark's clear carol axes with
morn,
And winds amid the corn,
Clash fairy cyInbaIs; but miss the joys.
Missing the tender voice
sweet as a throstIe's after april rain
That may not sing again.
What do owe the years, that should greet
Their bitter, and not sweet,
With wine and wit, and laughter: Rather
trust
The wine-cup to the dust!
What have they brought to me, these many
years?
Silence, and bitter tears.
