The General Sherman.

Five years ago an American trading
schooner, the General Sherman, loaded at
the Chinese port of Che-foo and proceed
ed with a general cargo. across the yell
low sea TO the opposite peninsula OF
Corea. She is said TO have had on board
three American citizens in the persons Of
her owner, master and mate, two English
subjects, two Portuguese and a crew Of
Cinnamon. At the mouth OF one OF the
large rivers which flow from the eastern
mountain ridges of Corea into the Yellow
sea, the General Sherman fell in with a
Chinese trading junk. The master was
taken on board to act as pilot up to an
inland mart of Corean commerce. This
cautious oriental began to discover as
they assembled the nver, that the Coreans
considered the intrusion of the foreigner
as an act of hostility, and that there was
every probability of their resent mont
assuming q highly disagreeable form.
On some pretext or other, the pilot threw
up his charge, and carried to Che-foo n
story about the burning of the General
Sherman and the massacre of all on
board. 1t has never been accurately
ascertained whether the pilot drew
entirely upon his imagination for the
materials of this tale, whether he con-
structed it by the aid of threatening init
nations received from the natives. or
whether, before leaving the coast, he had
actually received authentic news of the
fate of the schooner. He stated the date
of his abandonment of the Sherman to
have been Sept. II, 1866, and it was
about the end of October when he reach.
ed Che-foo. This would allow time
enough to render it probable that he had
remained on the Corean coast for week
or two after leaving the American trader.
Beyond the story of the pilot, and some
confrmatory statements elected by sub.
sequent inquiries in Corea, the fate Of
the General Sherman has remained q
mystery from that day to this.

LIVING IN FALsEHooD.- us merely
suppose two sisters living together for
years in full interchange of thought on
every subject and community of inter-
ests. At last one of them falls into a
habit or practice, not, indeed, directly
injurious to her sister, but such as would
cause her deep pain, and forfeit her es-
TEEN. Day for day she exchanges the
usual affectionate morning greeting,
taking pains that no alteration be per.
ceived In her manners, and then goes
out on a false pretense to do some act OF
follow some vicious passion which her
sister fondly believes her to be too good
and pure and highminded to do or enjoy.

ing face, though little uneasy at the
chance of question which may betray
her, and she accepts her sisters kiss as

GENIAL oHDrR Nc. S2-The Com
mAndeF-ln-C Chief has pleasure ~ vel a.
pride In making known 20 the officers,
ssamen, and marines Of the Asiaiie Fleet
his high satisfaction of the gallantry and
endurance evinoei by them in the recent
operations against the Coreanso on Rang
hoa Island.
On the lst inst. while the Monocacy,
Palos. and four steam launches were en-
Gagged in surveying. they were suddenly
assailed by a storm Of missiles nom
masked batteries ON the shore.
With the greatest promptitude and
gallantry this treaeherous attack was
met and the enemy driven from hisguns
and his position.
The Corean Government having failed
10 make any apology for this murderous
attack, on the 10th inst an expedition,
consisting of q landing force detailed
from the Colorado, Alaska, and Benicia,
under Commander L. A. Kimberly,
with the gunboats' Monocacy and Palos,
all under Commander n. G. Blake, Com
manding-in-Chief, was dispatched to
punish the enemy.
The operations of the 10th and 18th
insts., which resulted in the capture oil
five smaller forts, eliminated on the llth
in taking, by assault, the enemy s strong
hold located in q most formidable posi-
ton, at a very dangerous part OF the
river, and desperately defended.
Two hundred and foIty-thres OF the
enemy's dead we're counted within and
around these works, and fifty flags were
taken.
The works were formidable not only
from the natural features of the land
from shoals and violent currents in the
river, but were rendered artifically sc
by hundreds of weapons, of various kinfs
placed by the enemy for their defense
The gallant band which encountered
and overcame the perils of the naylga
ton, which fought its way, agains
vastly superior forces, through mud anc
marsh, over PERCEPTIONS hills and diff
cult ravines, and finally stormed ant
captured the enemy's stronghold, Ii
worthy of all praise.
To one and all the COMMANDMENT
Chief expresses his thanks, and the pride
he feels in commanding such body o
officers and men. He makes known t.
the commanding officers of vessels hi
obligations for the efficient drill and or
ganization which have produced the reli
able force composing the Asiatic fleet.
To those brave men now suffering
from their wounds he tenders his Leart,
sympathy.
While rejoicing in the success achiev
ed by our arms, he expresses his pro
found sorrow for the loss of those gal
liant men who gave up their lives in win
dicating the honor of their flag.
While deploring their loss, let us pre-
serve the memory of their bravery.
Among the honored dead whose los
We deplore is Lieut.. Hugh w. Mckee
who, calamity leading his men to tn
assault, fell MORALLY wounded in the cen
ter of the citadel, which he was the frs
to scale.
His memory is the more endeared t.
us because we knew him, and his gallant
ry will be cherished by all as brigh
example to the service.

Bread and Meat.

The last part of the ZeitSchrH far
Bioigie contains the results of an elabor-
ate series of experiments by Gustave
Meyer, of Oldensburg, on the effects of
feeding dogs and man on bread alone,
and bread mingled with meat and other
articles of diet. He shows, what indeed
has long been known, that to feed either
animals or man ON bread alone is great
waste of material, and that immense
quantities must be given in order that
the body should lose no flesh, while on
the other hand, the addition of some,
even though small quantity, of meat, is
economical. He demonstrates that the
tissues of the body become more watery
with insufficient food, which renders the
whole organism less capable of resisting
injurious influences. In his experiments
on man he endeavored to ascertain which
of the several kinds of bread i'll ordinary
use white bread, rye-bread, black bread
was absorbed in greatest amount during
its passage through the alimentary canal,
and found that white wheaton bread
occupies the first place, then leavened
rye-bread, then the bread (rye) prepared
by the Horsford- Liebig process, and,
lastly, the Pumpe1nickel North German
black bread. Nevertheless, the first is
not so satisfying to the feeling of hunger
as the three latter, and is more expensive
in every point of view. He denies the
great nutritious value often attributed
to bran, since the heterogeneous compounds
it contains are mingled with much nom
assimilable matter but admits that, if
these could be extracted, and were then
returned to the -four, the best results
would be obtained, as the meal already
contains abundance of salts.

Eating Green Corn.

Last autumn persons who wished to
observe "the prophecies" inquired of
us whether it was according to good usage
to gnaw the corn from the cob, or if it
should be cut into the plate. Generally,
though not always, matters of table Ell
quette are founded in common sense. A
bird can only be properly enjoyed by
picking it: hence good usage sanctions
the use of the fingers in removing the
flesh from the bones of bird, while one
who should take the bone of beefsteak
or a mutton chop in his fingers would be
looked upon as ill-bred. The only way
to get the full satisfaction out of green
corn is to gnaw 1t from the cob, and
though the operation, especially to q
foreigner who knows not corn, is not an
elegant one to witness, it is performed
at the best ordered tables. SO generally
is it conceded that corn should be eaten
from the cob, that silversmiths now
make silver green.corn handles these
are thrust into the large end of the cob,
and allow it to be held without soilirg
the fingers. 1t is rather an awkward
matter to cut the corn from the ear at
table, especially if the knives are not
sharp. If it is to be eaten in this way
it should be prepared before it is sent to
table, The operation of eating from the
cob is much facilitated by drawing a
sharp knife lengthwise of each row, in
such manner that the hull of each ker.
mel will be split. When this is done, the
digestible, nutritious contents of the ker.
nels will slip out, and the often tough
hull be left upon the cob. Those whose
teeth are sensitive or defective will fine
this great help.-American Aqricuhw

RINDKRPEsr. The Russian cattle
plague, while vending its course over
Europe to the British Isles, has been
slowly advancing toward Eastern ST.

nearly all the cattle from the Amoor
