An Extraordiu3E Bale o. Cotton.
From the N. Y. Herald.

A sample of the finest bale OF cotton
over produced was exhibited at the New
York Cotton Exchange yesterday. The
weight of the bale was 443 pounds,
which, in the aggregate, realizaed the
respectable sum of IS, 80 20-an aver
age of 81. .48 per pound The cotton was
raised by ". 3. McShaw, Lee county,
Miss, was picked by himself, wife and
daughter in the parlor, and took the
premium of $500 for the best bale OF
short staple Gotten offered at the st.
Louis Fair last October. Again, it
took the sweepstakes prize of 81 900
offered for the best bale of either long
or short staple After this Mr..
McShaw donated the cotton to the
Southern Educational Society, which
offered it on the st. Louis Corn Ex-
change, and sold it to Mr.. d. G. Tutt
at thirty cents per pound. Mr.. Tutt,
in turn, presented TO the same society,
when it realized twenty-five cents per
pound Again it was presented to the
Society, when it realized thirty eight
cents per pound, the buyer in this case
presenting it as formerly. After this it
was not offered for sale ply the Society,
but was ratified for 81, 600, and after
wards sold and resold, to be finally
purchased by Wessrs, Shyrock & Row
land of st. Louis, who shipped it to
Messrs. Norton, Slaughter &Co. of this
city, for the purpose of getting it so far
away as to prevent it being entered for
the 81 900 premium to be offered at
the fair in October next, as well as to
test the appreciation OF Northern fact
ors and manufacturers of the industry
of Mrs. McShaw aud daughter, whose
fair hands have prepared for exhibition,
beyond doupt, the finest bale of cotton
ever grown in any country. Messrs.
Norton, Slaughter & Co. report the
sale of this cotton at so cents per
pound, through Messrs. S. Mum, Son
& Co, cotton brokers, to Mr. Jonathan
Earl, Treasurer of She Norfolk and Nor
folk and New Brunswick Hosiery Com
pany of New Brunswick, n. j.
At the request of Mr.. Earl Mr.. I. J.

er, who viii be presented with full un-
dersuits manufactured from this remark

PERILS OF THE SEA,
DIsast III the Persian eSuIrDestl

/ DEsas III t2ae Persian GSsrIf-DeG tEas
by Starvation.
The Times of India, of June 18th,
publishes the story printed below, and
supplied to it by the Master Attend
aht's Department [, the under
signed, Cummis- bin Mahomed, ma
tive OF Linga, do hereby declare that I
was a passenger on board the bugla
Mahomudy, which vessel sailed from
Mangalore on the 2Sth of April, with a
general cago for the Persian Gulf On
or about the 5th of May, at 7 a. m, it
came to blow very hard, and rose to a
typhoon, which lasted about ten days
The nacoda, for the safety of the crew,
ordered the cargo to be thrown over
board, but this measure did not relieve
the bugla, 'he sea breaking in all di-
rections; the rudder parted, which rem
dered the vessel entirely unmanage-
able. The jolly-boat was stoved in, and
the nacoda ordered the mast to be cut
down to relieve the vessel, but this
measure did not at all alter our posi-
t1on; the crew were completely knock
ed up, the sea began to break on board
III all directions, which caused the yes
sci to founder, launching forty-five of
our number to the mercy of the waves
nineteen men clung to one of the water
tanks; myself, the nacoda, and thirteen
of the crew to the other and the remain
der to the fragments of the wreck that
were floating near them. Shortly after
this melancholy accident we parted
company; twelve days after this three
men that were in my company died
from starvation. On the day these men
died we sighted steamer, which we
signaled by flying our clothes, hailing,
and making different signals by our
hands. Our distress and position were
no doubt observed by the people on
board the steamer, as she came nearly
within our reach and remained about
an hour and half, but did not think
proper to relieve us from a watery
grave; although our supplicatdons
were repeated and our danger repre-
sented, the Captain gave deaf ear to
us. The steamer had straight stem
and red band round her funnel She
went away from us after stopping nearly
an hour. Previous to the steamer
coming near us three men died, and
after she left us nine died We were
in the water for thirty-six days from
the date that we were picked up. The
other nineteen men that had been hang
ing onto the second water tank were
fortunately picked up by steamer and
safely landed at Alden; this ipforma-
tion [ have received since my arrival in
Bombay

Caribaltli on German Bravery,

Prof Laz1arini, editor of the COrriere
di Sardegna, who lately visited Carl
baldi IN Caprera, has just published an
account of his conversation, in which
he says: After we had chatted about
the political and national position OF
Italy, GaribaIdi returned to the affair
some particulars about the combat,
doing justice, at the same time, to the
heroic courage ana firmness Of the
Prussians. I'VE had, said the Gen
eraI, '36 pieces of cannon, and yet, in
spite of terrible fire, the Prussians
advanced slowly. It must be confessed
that the Prussians are the best soldiers
in the world. Never have [ seen in such a
narrow space so many dead bodies as
at Dion You may form an idea of 1t
when I tell you that in about the area
of this chamber / counted fifty three
corpses' Reverting to the present sit.
uatIon of France, Garibaldi added ::
Believe me, it viii be long before the
French pardon the Italians for coming
to the aid of the Republic For my
part, I separate the cause OF the French
people from that of the Chauvinists.
The selfish rabbIe and the Chauvinisjs
both required lesson, and the h rder
1t was the more salutary for the coun-
try. As TO the manner in which / have
been treated personally in the French
Assembly l will say nothing; at
Bordeaux ] was not allowed to speak
but [ do not complain. am old and
infrm, but [ should be glad to see that
fanatical thirst for supremacy annihi-
lated which always was, and is yet, the
main source Of the misfortunes ol
France With regard to the Italians,
they must not lose confidence in them
selves, whatever happens, for if they
again fail In the task set befoge, they
may take a sponge, and wipe out the
name of Italy from the map ot
Europe. .

The Advance Guard.
BY JOHN HAY.


In the dream of the Northern poets
The brave who in the battle die
Fight ON in shadowy plalanx
IN the field of the upper sky;
And as we read the sounding rhyme
The reverent fancy hears
The ghostly ring of the yiewless swords
And the clash of the spectral spears.
We think with imperious questionings
OF the brothers that we have lost
AnFwe strive to track in deaths mystery
The flight of each valient ghost
The Northern myth comes back to us.
And we feel through our sorrows night
That those young souls are striving still
Somewhere for the truth and light
1t was not their time for rest and sleep;
Their hearts beat high and strong;
In their fresh veins the blood of youth
Was singing its hot, sweet song.
The oDen heaven bent over them
mid flowers their 1.-the feet trod
Then lives lay vivid in light, and blest
By the smiles of women and God.
Again they come! Again hear
The tread of that goodly band,
[ know the fash of Ellsworth7s eye
And the grasp of his hard, warm hand
And Putnam and Shaw, of tho lion heart;
And an eye like Boston girls
And I see the light of heaven which shone
On Uric Dahlgrens curls.
There is no power in the gloom of hell
To quench those spirits fire,
There is no charm in the bliss of heaven
To bid them not aspir'
Bus somewhere in the nal plan
That strength, that survive,
And like the files on kout's crest,
Above Deaths clouos they strive.
A chosen corps-they are marching on
In a wider field than ours;
Those bright batallions still fulfill
The scheme of the heavenly powers;
And high, brave thoughts loat down to lis
The echoes of that far fight,
Like the flash of distant pickets guns
Through the shades ofthe seyering night.
No fear for them In the lower field
Let us toll with arms Ttnstained,
That at last we be worthy to stand with them
On the shining nights they've gained
We shall meet and greet in closing ranks;
In Times declining sun,
When the bugles of God shall sound recall,
And the Battle OF Life be won
