The combined squadrons of England
have recently been having great feld
day off the coast of Portugal. This evo'
lutionary naval drill, on a grand scale,
has elected facts which are interesting
as to the capabilities of ironclads in war
fare. The rolling of some of this class
of vessels in heavy sea, as compared
with the rolling of some of the older
ships, is said to have been terrible. The
Monarch, one of the new vessels, had a
maximum roll of thirty-six degrees,
while the less modern crafts averaged
from thirteen to fifteen degrees. An
explanation from the designer Of this
vessel will doubtless be called for by the
Britishers. The question as to whether
England is poorer or richer in her naval
resources is difficult one to- answer.
She has the material, but il is q serious
question whether it is not misapphed.
Nelson's ships could weather any storm,
but the Captain was lost in squall.

A young man, who speaks from expe.
rience, declares that there is no ordeal
more trying to a young man thar being
introduced 10 an elderly person or a
man of middle age. The elderly person
or the man of middle age never enjoys
an introduction to a young man, and
vice versa. There is always a halt-dis-
appointed look on the features of the
man Of middle age or elderly person,
which seems to say, What the deuce
does Snooks mean by putting this young

pointed look is succeeded by look like

An Incident Of the Fire.

A party has just arrived at Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, who Travelled for several days
through and along the burning district
Of Dakota and Northwestern Mime
sofa The description they give of their
own sufferings and the scenes they wit
messed are heartrending. They state
that they found at different points the
charred remains of three human beings,
nothing left but the bodies and those
burned to a crisp Nothing could be
found that would in any way identify
the burned corpses. The mail coach
due in Yonkton on Wednesday evening
had an exciting race with the element
1t was discovered that the fire was com
ing and a race ensued. The driver piled
his whip and away the horses went on a
gallop. Nearer and nearer came the
fire. The red glare filled the sky; the
forked tongues shot out; the terrible
hissings of the demon were in the ears
of the afirighted passengers. The driver
gathered his lines, drew the leaders from
the road, horses gathered, jumped, n
rail fence was beneath the wheels Of the
coach, the coach was ON piece of plow-
ed ground, and the fire went by with a
roar like cataract.

Although the settlement Of AlaskG
proceeds slowly, yet we may infer thai
it is progressing steadily and surely
since we are informed that on the island
of Unalaska there are already nine com
mercial and business houses. This is
land is the headquarters for all the fish
ing and whaling expeditions bound for
Plover Bay, Bristol Bay Behring Sea
and the Arctic Ocean, as vessels can be
there reftted, obtain supplies and pro
cure excellent fresh water in abundance,
In further refutation of the unfounded
impression that Alaska is bitterly cold
region, we learn that the ice crop of the
past season was extremely meager, and
not sufficient to meet the wants of the
Pacific coast.

From the Grafton wv. Val sentinel.l
A few weeks since, about ten o'clock
pm, a countless flock Of birds began
flying through the air chirping in a
manner that indicated that they were in
distress. They seemed to have been
drawn to the town by the light, in their
passage, and attracted the attention of a
great many of our citizens. They flew
about promiscuously, and the whole air
seemed to be full of them. One Of the
little wanderers, attracted by the light,
few against the house of Mr.. VIM. Slain,
and disabled itself so that it was cap
tured. 1t was brought to our office the
next morning, and number examined
it, but no one recognized it as being any
species of bird of this region. The
theory is that they heve been driven in
this direction by the great fires that have
been raging in the West. The bird was
about the size of our robin, of a dark
lead color, with tinge of red at the ex-
tremities of the wings and tail. 1t was
a beautiful bird. We learn that several
of them were caught at Webster, four
miles south of this place.

sat alone with my conscience,
In place where time had ceased.
And we talked of my former living
In the land where the years increased
AndI felt should have TO answer
Th9 % question sast on It put to ms. ou..on q
Throughout an eternity.
The ghost Of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that | thought were dead thi nga
Were alive with terrible might.
And the vision Of all my past life
Was an awful thing to face
Along with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And thought of far away warning.
OF sorrow that was to be mine,
In land that then was the future,
But now is the present time
And / thought of my former thinking
OF the judgment day to be.
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed judgment enough for me.
And wondered if there was a future
10 this land beyond the grave;
But no one gave me an answer, "
And no one came to save.
Then i felt that the future was present.
And the present would never go by,
2 For ii was but the thought Of my past life
Grown into eternity.
Then i woke from my timely dreaning,
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far-away warning,
Was warning Of yesterday-
And pray that | may not forgetit.
In this land before the grave,
That may not cry in the future.
And no one come to save.
And so | have learnt lesson 90
Which J. ought to have known before,
And which, though learnt it dreaming.
hope 10 forget no more.
So sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase.
And i try to rem 1mber the future

And | know of the future judgment,
How dreadful sOe'er it be, ai t
That to sit alone with my conscience

This is a pretty good time to bring DR..
Sehoeppe forward again, says the Pitts
burgh Leader. He has been lying perdu
and almost forgotten for good while
now. The Chicago excitement having
in a measure subsidized, and nothing hav-
ing as yet taken its place, Schoeppe
might well be brought forward and dis
eussed. To have him occupy public
attention, might be as good move on
the part Of the Governor, too, as a
means of diverting public attention
somewhat from the Evans case.

IMpUDRNcE PERsoNIFIED.-During a
temporary lull In business last evening
a very good.natured and half-inebriat-
ed individual entered a popular drink
ing saloon at the corner OF Front and
K streets, and demanded supper. The
aftable dispenser of liquids, who never
passes on q practical Joke, responded
with alacrity to the demand for the
wherewithal with which to appease
hunger, and hastily arranging a clean
newspaper In a goblet to do imaginary
duty as a!napkin, be drew a card table
from under a sldeboard, busted It with
a damp towel, and arranged things
generally as II for supper. There was
q large dish Of cat-meat The keeps q
cat) standing convenient, which vas
lmprovised to do duty as "solids."
Hurrledly our friend Of the saloon
gathered on two or three other plates
such little bits Of cheese, pickles,
crackers and such things as 60 TO mako
up the evening nibbles OF Sacramento
saloons, placed them on the trble and
announced to the gentleman from the
interior that everything was ready,
and demanded four bits, which was
promptly paid. The gentleman Of
semi-inebriety cleaned the table In
short order, arose, shook himself,
gaped, and remarked that 1t was the
best restaurant he had struck since he
left the mountains, demanding to
know the charge for his supper.
"Four bits" was the bland reply,
which was duly forked over, and the
hearty eater took . walk, evidently
highly gratlled with the excessive
~politeness Of Sacramento walters.
