THE United States frigate Tennessee may
be given as a specimen of Secretary Robe
sons management of the navy. This YES
sci made but one cruise to San Domingo
and back last year, and was supplied with
engines built by contract, costing S7OO,OOO.
One trip demonstrated the fact that the en-
gines were useless, and after her return the
Secretary of the Navy entered into con-
tract with John Roach, by which he was to
build another set of engines for this vessel
at a cost of $780, 900, and to receive the old
machinery (for which nearly three-quarters
of a million had been paid) as part OF the
bargain.

THE curious and melancholy coincidence
was presented On the 18th instant Of three
boiler explosions on the same day and in
different parts ofthe country, whereby fully
eighty human beings were drowned or
scalded or burnt to death, and many others
injured. The explosion of the steamer
Oceanus on that day, and the subsequent
destruction of the wreck by fire, was one of
the most terrible disasters in the long cata-
logue Of similar horrors in the history Of
steamboating on the Mississippi river and
its tributaries.

SOME idea of the dauntless ''Bread and

depends for denomination and reelection,
NAV be gathered from the Detroit Free Press,
which saws that noble army Ofself-Sacrihcing
p1triots "consists Of about thity-one tLous-
and postmasters; seventeen thousand under
the command of the Treasury Department,
with Signal Corps Of three thousand more
under different leaders, making, in all, fifty
one thousand noble patriots, who demand
that Grant shall be kept n power, in order
that they may continue to hold Office and
serve the country for their own good. ms
number does not include the members OF
Congress, who are dependent upon the
breath of Executive favor for their future
political existence, through the control OF
TIE appointments in the districts. 1t does
MT Include he license spies who go about
plunderiug individuals under pretense OF
law. but who are all devoted TO the cause OF
Grant, because Grant and official rascality
seem to be identified in aim and intent.
This army of ofiice-holderS propose to die
tate what shall be the political action OF the

considered long liver Pliny in ancient
times, and Pennant and Gesner in mod
ern, dwell emphatically upon the longev-
ity of this fish. In the year 1491, PIKE
was taken from the waters of Thallbrun,
in Swabia, with golden ring attached to
it, on which was engraved in Greek char
acters, this inscription: q am the tlsh
that was put into this lake by Frederick
H., October 5, 1850" The fish was,
therefore, two hundred and forty-seven
years old.
The great longevity of the tortoise is
perhaps best established of all. One in
the gardens of Lambeth Palace lived one
hundred and twenty years. Another at
Peterborough attained the age of two
hundred and twenty-three years. Bishop
Marsh's predecessor in the see had re,
membered it above sixty years, and he
was the seventh prelate who had worn
the mitre during its sojourn in the close.
When this tortoise died, its body weighed
fourteen pounds, and its shell two hun
dred and fifty-two pounds.-APpleton'
