Pacific.

From Our O,On Correspondent.
CALLAo Jan. %, 1871.
The United States steamer Resaca, Com
mander Green, left this port on the 10th instant
for Panama, under steam, to assist the survey
ing expedition In their explorations for canal
route across the isthmus. Commander Thomas
H. Eastman, who was recently relieved from
the command of the gunboat Nyack, was sent
as passenger under charges for trial by court
martial upon his arrival in the United States.
The charges are of a very serious character.
The United States sloop-of-war jamestown,
16 guns, Commander w. T. Truxton, which has
been SO long expected from the North Pacific,
got in on the 18th instant from Honolulu via
Tahiti forty three days from the latter place.
Req orts having had excellent weather, but was
obliged to go as far south rs AZ deg, where 1t
was quite cold; all well. Commander Gherardl,
of Philadelphia, who had been waiting here
several months, relieved Commander Truxton
Immediately, and the latter will go north in the
next steamer. 1t is generally understood here
that Commander Truxton was relieved of his
command on account of the assault he ordered
on the American Consulate in Honolulu last
September. Surgeon j. E. Gillespie, who is
also a Pennsylvania (from Chester county,
has been detached from the store-ship Onward,
and will go north to-day on sick leave.
The Ossipee, late of the North Squadron, is
due from Fan Francisco in February, also the
Mohican from Guayaqui The veteran Com
modore McDougal will then transfer his flag
from the Jamestown to the Osslpee, and make a
tour of the coast. The jamestown was to have
gone south at once, but she is in such bad con-
dition that It was found necessary to put her
in the dry-dock, and it is possible that she will
be condemned by survey and sent to San Fran
cisco for new decks spars, etc. She has been
in commission only about two years, but has
done very hard service.
LIVERPOOL AND oALLAo.
The Royal Mail steamer Araucaugap, Iron
hull and brig-rig, came in from Liverpool, vis
Valparaiso, on the Goth. She has full cargo
This line, the longest perhaps in the world, IL
regarded as great success.
POLITICAL AND INDUSTRIAL.
At Lima and in the interior all is quiet. Al
no revolutionary symptoms occurred during thu
late absence of President Balta at the railroad
celebration in Arequipa, 1t is believed that lonl
period of peace and prosperity Is before ia
Peruanas." The railroad mania seems to gathe
strength, and new routes are constantly beinI
projected.
MUSICAL, ETC.
Carlotta Patti, now due from Valparaiso,
the musical sensation. A French opera is pei
forming in Lima, and Spanish troupe alter
mates between Lima and Gallao.
H. M. s. Chanticleer is still in port, and tn
Jealous, flagship of the British fleet, will be du
from the south coast next month. X.

"DON'T SMELL WELL"
A Judge who Didn't Like Musk Gets into
Scrape and Out of ii.

UDGE-(out West, of course) hated
~ to put it mild, the smell of musk. One
hot day, the murcury standing ninety de-
grees in the shade, the judge sat in his
office, lolling in his easy chair, placed Just
in the draft-what little there was-doing
his best to open UP the mystery of an old
Opaque "last will and testament" submit
ted to his judicial determination Just as
the breeze grew sensibly strong and refresh
ing, tho judges olfactories contracted under
the smell ofmusk. His honor looked up
from the ancient document he was consid
ering, and beheld lady standing in the
open door. With gentle wave of his hand
as if motioning her to turn to one side.
the judge greeted her with, "Beg your par
don madame, you don't smell well.''
Sir" replied the astonished dame, in a
tone that would have frozen less impur.

the excessive heat, and threw herself out
of the office.

suited my wife?''
Again the judge looked up from his work
and seeing strong built man standing in
his doorway frowning upon him, answered
him promptly, "No, sir; please be seat
ed"
Didn't you just tell my wife she stunk
thunded the man.
" No, SIR" said the man firmly; clam
incapable of saying that to any body"
The man turned square on his heel and
directly returned with his wife, saying -
Wife, is that the feller ?' pointing to
the judge.
Yes, said she, decisively.
"Well," " said her husband, che says he
didn't say you stunk."
No, replied she, she said I didn't
smell WELL"
"oh, broke, in the judge in his bland
est tone, "a misapprehension. 1t must
be true, Madam, that you didn't smell well
or else you would have smelled m, You
have a catarrh, have you not ?''
The husband relaxed his fist, looked al
his wife, smiled, then turning to the judge
said: esquire, you're a cute one you'll
do for u.s." And the Judge got a fat
case and a good client.

A Cautious Mnn.

A fellow who was travelling in Western
New York, entered a bar-room, and after
calling for drinks for two looked about over
the loungers apparently for friend to drink
with him. To every ones surprise, he in
yited XVth, who eagerly accepted and
swallowed his "pisen" with great aydity.
Our traveller, however, leaving his untouch-
ed very coolly lighted digar, and settled
himself by the fire. After some time, the
landlord inquired, rather sharply, if he did
not intend to drink that whisky. "Why
certainly" said he, "if it don't kill that
colored man within 10 or Is minutes"

they clasped each other in close embrace.

Alice, laying violent hands upon Tom
and hugging and kissing him with real
feminine fervor.
"My more than brother! my generous
preserver ~ cried Walter rescuing the vic
tim from his sisters hand, and folding him
in hearty masculine embrace.
Walter Leighton is now distinguished
advocate of San Francisco, where his ac-
complished wife is one of the leaders of So
ciety. Some promising olive-branches have
gathered around his table. Old Mr.. Gold
brook and Tom are permanent members of
the household, the latter, who bids fair to
remain an old bachelor having become
quite an exemplary member of society, and
director in many useful and benevolent
enterprises AS son, brother and uncle,

"Tom Redburn--God bless you ~ The
poor fellow broke down with emotion, and
could not utter another word, but stood
wringing Toms hand and sobbing like a
child.
"There, there" said Tom, shaking him
off; "don't be baby. There is no time
to lose now. We will talk of gratitude
hereafter"
SO Walter dried his tears and went. The
sensation Of possessing SO much money
gave him courage, and such an air of Dig
nifty that the clothiers and other trades
men he patronized waited upon him with
alacrity. In short time he was so com
pletely transformed that his worst enemy
would hardly have known him. When he
returned to Tom Redburn, that fastidous
person declared him faultless except in one
particular.

when he left on Saturday, to meet one Of
his frontier missionary engagements, that
he dressed the flint of his rifle with unus-

took every pains to make sure that the gun
would go off in case he came upon an In

him in the saddle, with his rifle ON his
shoulder that his conduct contradicted his
teachings, and said to him:

A SINGING School incident.

An amusing circumstance occurred one
evening in singing school. A Mr.. Pain
was the teacher, and Miss Patience one
Of the pupils. In the course of the even
ing the teacher gave out the tune, set to
the W ords "Come, gentle patience, smile
on pain" The pupils were so excited by
laughter, that it was impossible to sing the
line. Soon the teacher gave out another,
in which were these lines so, give me
tears for others woes, and patience for my
own;' at which the risibilities of the school
were so affected that all singing was de-
ferred until another occasion.
