DEATH OF JOHN SLIDELL.-Among the
Geographic dispatches published this morn
ing, July 81 will be found one from London
announcing the death of John Slidell, Esq,
the South as one of the most prominent
politicians of the day AID a principal actor
in the events which brought on the late
civil war.
John Slidell was born in New York, in
1893, and was educated somewhere at the
North. While yet young man, he emi-
grated to this city where he commenced
practicing at the bar. His legal career
was an unusually successful one, and tax
ing deep interest in politics, at the expir-
alton of about twenty years he abandoned
it in order to devote himself entirely to
political pursuits. He waselected to serve
Louisiana in Congress, first in the House
of Representatives, and afterwards in the
Senate. At the outbreak of the Mexican
war, in 1876, he was appointed by Presi-
dent Polk Minister to that Republic, and
was known throughout that era as an ar
dent advocate of the " manifest destiny"
doctrine, which aimed at the absorption of
Mexico, Cuba and Central America. He
was subsequently reelected to the Senate,
where be remained until the outbreak of
the civil war. During Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
ministratiop, of whom be was firm and
intimate friend, he was offered and de-
clined the embassy to France. From the
moment of Mr.. LincoIn's election, however
he became an ardent secessionist, taking a
leading part in the chain of political
events which led to the subsequent contest.
Among the leaders of the Confederacy no
also became conspicuous in his labors to
carry it to a successful establishment. At
an early stage of it's existence he was ap-
pointed by President Davis one of the
Commissioners to Europe, in which capa-
city his seizure upon the Trent, subsequent
Imprisonment, and final release at the de-
mand of England, was one Of the most no.
| table occurrences of the memorable contest.
During the continuance of the war, no re-
manned at Paris, where e has indeed re-
sided up to the present time, always upon
the most intimate terms witt, the Emperor,
and much respected by the French people:
Mr.. Slidell, during his career, accumulated
a large fortune, and leaves a family of chill
dren.-Iin,es.

The many friends of the Rev. P. F. Flynn, of
Waterford, Ireland, will be pleased to learn
that he has reached home, after an extensive
tour through the North, in excellent health
and spirits.
Father Flynn, during his short stay with us,
won the hearts of thousands of all classes OF
our citizens by the amiability of his DISPOSE
ton and the affabiiity of his manners. To his
countrymen here particularly did he endear
himself by his deep, earnest love of the old
country, and far distant is the day when he or
his splendid lectures ON the "Glories of Ire
land" delivered at the Odd Fellows Hall and
the German Theatre, will be forgotten. Since
his return home, Father Flynn has been ap-
pointed to the Curacy of Clonmel.

Good Taste in Dress.

1t Is mistaken economy 20 turDlsh up
faded article because IL was once ex-
pensive, for the poor remnant of the
past will always tell its own story. A
neat, pretty calico or lawn tastefully
made is far more becoming than tar
nished tinery, soiled silks or rusty al
pacas. Where but few additions to a
wardrobe can be made they should be
selected always to harmonic with the
purse first, then the form, complexion
and whatever else is left of the year
before, that striking contrasts may be
avoided.
A French woman, however poor, has
always the appearance of freshness and
novelty. Ii she needs new boots and
can have but one pair, although her in
clination points to drab or bronze boots,
she chooses black, as for economy and
taste combined her best dress is prob
ably black. She needs new gloves, or
q parasol or bonnet ribbon before
purchasing she looks over her boxes
and finds perhaps her best tie is pink !;
she cannot wear pink gloves nor carry
a pink parasol therefore she wisely
decides upon roses for her bonnet, and
drab ribbon, drab gloves, and drab
parasol, perhaps frightened with a
pink lining, the roses and necktie
freshen admirably the otherwise SOM
bre attire, which is in excellent taste.
A young lady may think herself very
fashionably dressed in green gloves,
blue bonnet, and scarlet flowers, and
purple dress, because each article in
itself was costly and well made: but in
stead of beng fashionable it would be
in exceedingly bad taste, as, however,
we may admire the rainbovs of the sky,
they are tawdry on the street. Amer

The IOmahaWk as indicator OF
Wounded Honor.
From the New Orleans Times.


In our chapter on duelling in last
Mondays Mosaic we omitted an anus
ing incident which occurred a good
many years ago between two men in
Mississippi, whose names have since
become historical in the annals of this
country. We refer to Robert j. Wal
ker and Dr. William NJ Gwin, Duke OF
Sonora. An alteration occurred be-
tween them which led to a challenge
from Mr.. Walker. Mr. Walker was
a man of remarkably diminutive SIZE
while the doctor lowered like a giant,
with the Drawn and bone OF a London
porter, Walker was bent on fighting;
but the doctor, who was naturally a
jovial and kind-hearted soul, did not
feel at all aggrieved toward his adyer-
sarv.
BE that as it might, the doctor ac-
cepted the challenge and chose the
Indian war tomahawk as his weapon.
The terms were so arranged that on a
given day the combatants We're to be
posted $50 yards apart, and at a given
signal to run past each other, like
knights in a tourney, tiinging their
tomahawks in their course.
The doctor caused it to be bruited
abroad that he practised every day in a
savanna, few miles from the town
where both reside. Piqued with cur
iosity, Mr. Walker allowed himself to
be persuaded to visit the spot surrep-
titiously and view the achievements of
his antagonist. Not so surreptitiously,
however, that Dr. Gwin was not aware
whose prying eyes We're fixed upon his
ID Ovements.
Measuring off 100 PAGES from the sol
itary stump of pine tree, the doctor
bounded with a spring and a yell that
would have delighted the Chingachook,
the venerable padre of the last of the
Mohegans, grim of demoniac ferocity
lighting up his strongly marked fea
lures. As he approached the stump he
projected the missile, with powerful
sweep of the arm, clean up TO the han
die in the soft pine, and, painting, came
to y dead halt.
There was something so ludicrously
savage in all this that Mr. Walker and
his companion burst into a voluntarily
fit of laughter from their ambush. The
laugh betrayed them; reconciliation
took place and up to the breaking out
of the Confederate war, and it may be
up to Mr.. Walkers death, they were
fast friends.

Black Rain,

The Westileid's Boiler Defective,

VIM. D. Vanderbilt, Government In
spector, made an official inspection Of
the boiler of the Inflated Westfeld.
He found the material of the boiler
good, and that the iron was of the re-
quisite thickness, but discovered Sc
rious break in the inner casing, which
evidently existed long before the ex-
plosion. The outer edge Ct the frag-
ment is much brighter than the inner,
and from this fact, and certain other
indications, he has come to the conclu-
sion that the casting was broken either
when the boiler was made nine years
ago, or gave way subsequently when
subjected to a severe test. He has ex-
pressed the positive opinion that the
boiler has for long time been held
together simply by Il thin outside plat
ing, and said he was surprised that
it bad not exploded before. He added:
"This flaw could not have been detect
ed by any inspector, as the outside of
the boiler was covered with felt and the
inside afforded no indications of de-
cay" He also said that the flaw could
not have been detected by sounding
