Commodore Josiah Tattnall died, on
Thursday, at Savannah, Ga. He was a
grandson of Gov. Tattnall of Georgia,
and was born at Bonaventure, four
miles from Savannah, in November,
1896. He entered the navy in 1872, and
shared in the defense of Craney Island
in Hampton Roads, Va. On that Occa-
sion, simultaneously with the advance
-ofa British land force, 50 large barges
filled with l 800 sailors and marines ap-
preached the island from the enemy's
ships. When within range they were
received with a destructive fire, and
had to retreat, leaving five barges, in

out to the Admiral's barge, and, with
the help of his bold seamen, hauled it

with the Chinese in the summer of 1858,
and in the spring of 1850, he brought
the japanese ambassadors to this coun-

the country faithfully for many years,
the Government ordered him to the
Harbor Station to enjoy a sea-
son of repose. Thence, in 1861, he ac-
Cepted the chief command of the almost
Confederate navy. He was in
command of the Southern vessels at
Norfolk when the Merrimac was de-

and he retired to his native State. He

reported proposal to marry Fred Grant

Practice G Ind -Precept.

Fanny Fern tells us the following
story of her first meeting with Horace
Greeley. He had agreed to take tea at
her house, and Mr.. Parton gave her
special injunction to have some stale
bread on the table, as Mr.. Greeley, he
said, never touched hot biscuit.
This was accordingly done, and when
the great editor sat down to supper, a
large supply of dry bread was placed
close to his plate. He, however, was
not content with this, but peering
across the table in his near-sighted way
at the biscuit opposite, he stretched out
his arm and proceeded to help himself,
and actually made his meal of them.
Mrs. Parton expressed her surprise at
this, and said: .'..
"Why MIR. Greeley, I read the 7Fi-
6'ore for so long a time, that I thought
you abominated hot bread"
Fanny" replied the sage Horace,
helping himself to another biscuit, "do
you always practice what you preach?

The AEag.-qoOna1..

Mr.. Samuel Buck, an eccentric chat
acter well known 10 the vicinity OF Con-
neaut, Ohio, died recently near that VIII
lage; at an advanced age. He is repre-
semted to have been a man of good fam
ily, and with fair education and natur-
al abilities, but possessed Of a strong
passion to ape the manners Of the Oppo-
site sex. For many years he had lived
alone, and, with surprising facility, he
performed all the duties of a housewife
and farmer at once. In the morning he
would don wOman's attire, which be-
came his delicate person welI, prepare
breakfast, eat, and having put the house
in order, would unpin his chignOn, ex
change his hoOp-skirts for trOwsers, and
go out to plow or chop wood, as the case
might be, till noon, when he would ap-
pear again in the role of a lady cook.
He was very fastidiOus in his tastes, and,
when attired as a fashionable woman,
with his long, well kept hair done up q
jG mode, he would receive and entertain
company so gracefully and naturally as
to deceive all except those who knew
him, and always seemed to be uneou-
seiOus that he was playing borrowed
part ElCcEdR0e. |"

Romance.
The ALar, WIth 4 Secret.
BY LEoNIDAs PARKER.

One day toward the close of last Sep
tember, an old man raped at my office
door, and on invitation came in, and,
advancing, called me by name. Per
ceiving that did not at first recognize
him, he introduced himself as Gregory
Summerfield. After inviting him to a
seatI scrUtinized his features more close
Iy, and quickly identified him as the
same person whom 1 had met twenty
two years before. He was greatly al
tered in appearance, but there was the
old charm of intellectual superiority in
his conversation, and welcomed him
to California as an important addition
to her mental wealth.
1t was not many minutes before he
requested private interview. He fol-
lowed me into my back office, carefully
closed the door after him and locked it.
We had scarcely seated ourselves be
fore he inquired of me 'if had noticed
any recent articles in the newspapers
respecting the discovery of the art of
decomposing water so as to fit it for use
as a fuel for ordinary purpOses%
Ireplied that had observed nothing
new upon that subject since the expert
ments of Agassiz and Professor Henry,
and added that in my opinion the ex-
peBsive mode Of reduction would always
prevent its use.
In few words he then inf Ormed me
that ne had made the discovery that the
art was extremely simple, and the ex-
pense attending the decomposition so
slight as to be insignificant.
Presuming that the object of his visit
to me was TO procure the necessary
forms to get out patent for the right,
1 congratulated him upon his good for
tune, and was about to branch forth
with a description of some of the great
benefits that must ensue to the cOmmu-
nifty, when he suddenly and somewhat
unciviIIy requested me to 'be SILENT
and listen TO what he had to say.
He began with some general remarks
about the inequality of fortune amongst
mankind, and instanced himself as a
striking example of the fate of those
men who, according to all the rules of
right, ought to be near the top, instead
of at the foot of the ladder of fortune.
But said he, springing to his feet with
impulsive energy, 4 have now the
means at my command of rising supe-
Tior to fate, or of inhicting inealcuable
ills upon the whole human race
Looking at him more closely, l
thought 1 could detect in his eye the
gleam of madness; but I remained 81
lent aud awaited further developments.
But my scrutiny, stolen as it was, had
been detected, and he replied at once to
the expression Of my face:
No sir; 1 am neither drunk nor a
maniaci am in deep earnest in all that
] say; and am fully prepared, by act
Ual experiment, to demonstrate beyond
all doubt the truth of all 1 claim.'
For the first time / noticed that he
carried a sDall pOrtmanteau in his
hand; this he PLACED upon the table, un-
locked it, and took out two or three
small volumes, pamphlet or two, and

GrOte.

The cable informs us of the death in
England on Sunday of George GrOte,
the historian. Mr.. GrOte was born in
i794, and had therefore attained the age
Of76. In his early years he was a clerk
in his fathers banking house in Thread
needle street, London, but devoted all
his leisure time to study. In 1923 he
commenced the preparation of his great
work, 'The History of Greece of
which the first volume was published i'm
1916 and the last in 1856. Besides this,
he was the author Of smaller treatises
and review articles on subjects connect
ed with Greek history and philosophy.
About the time of the reform movement
of 1880 he engaged in politics, and rep
resented the city of London in three
successive Parliaments, retiring in 1871.
He was Of the Liberal party, and per-
sistent advocate of the ballot. His
writings reflect his political senti-
ments, and in his history he ably vindi-
Gates the Greek people from the SLAM
ders of the mOnarchical writer's who
have misrepresented them. His last
work was plato, and the Other Com
paniOns of Socrates published in 1855.

The anniversary of the battle of Bun
ker HilI-the 18th of June-was an
eventful one to Mr.. VaHandigham.
Had the horoscope of fate cast its in
fiuence upon his. belief, he certainly
would have regarded this day with su-
perstiOn and apprehension. It was on
the 18th Of June, 1868, that he ran the
blockade from the South and encounter
ed the dangers of exile, the sea and
death. On the 18th of June, 1854, a
year to day exactly, he reached his
old home and made speech in Dayton,
then laboring under an apprehension of
renewed military arrest. On the 17th
OF June, 1871, he died a victim to an
unlucky accident from his own hand.
It so happened that it was seven years
after his return, and in a year in which

The bottom is dropping out of the
State of New Jersey. In Warren
County, during the past few days, a
number of deep holes have been sudden
lymnde by the earth sinking down into
some fearful, unknown subterranean
depths. The first noticed was in the
bottom of the Morris and Essex Canal.
on the seVen-mile level, between Broad
way and New Village. All the water
IN the canal went down that hole.
Then half dozen more holes opeaed in
the cOrn-fields and woods, taking down
into the bowels Ofthe earth great patch
es Of corn, and even sinking trees out of
sight. In addition to this there are
scores Of great, long and deep fissures
there.
On Wednesday night another Eig
hole opened in the canal. RumbIing
noises were heard under the Methodist
Church in Broadway, and nobody will
venture into the building for fear of its
going down. The widest excitement
prevails among the people, who deem
that any given spot of land in all that
country is liable to plunge through half
way to China at any moment. Prices
Of real estate have naturally gone down,
as the real estate itself has. The Nor
ris and Essex Canal is utterly ruined.
Its course must be altogether changed
to avoid this district, ifit is intended to
ever hold water enough for a sunfish to
float in.-Cn. Eng.
