\ correspondent writing during
4 voyage across the Atlantic says:
"One of the features of sea voyage
which it is very difficult for a lands
man to aecustom himself to, is the
entire absence of all news from the

are to have our daily paper Gil our

over the news that untiring CORES
pondents have CLEANED from every
part Of the world, it seems = strange
deprivation to pass day after day in
entire ignorance of whatever is tran
spring among the haunts of men,
Then there is no postoffice to go to
two or three times every day; no
letters to be received from friend
or kindred. The ships company
is, for the time being, a community
apart by itself, and it has to live,
rs it were, in a world of its own.-
Yet even here there are advantages
to offset these inconyeniences. The
favored spoculator can rest fol
awhile, with no gold speculations
to perplex and annoy him. We are

A writer in Good Ue0iM remarks
that nothing affords more interest
and amusement than an examination
of the various modes of salutation
practiced by tho nations of the
earth. IN some degree these may
be regarded as an index of national
character, or the circumstances of
national life.
The salutation of the Hebrew was
peace! the ancient Greeks, Re-
joice.' The modern use of the form
is 'What doest thou?' In Ger
many, 'How do you find yourself?'
and in some parts of the country
they invariably kiss the hands Of
all the lady acquaintances they
meet. In Spain, How goes it?' and

RICH FOR A MOMENT.
Fifteen Thousand Dollars Found un-
der a Summer Kitchen.

Yesterday morning man named
Powers, living on Fifteenth street,
at either No. 153 or No. 1876, con-
cluded to have the plumbers convey
the water from the pipes just down
on the street into his kitchen. Mr..
Powers built his house, and has
lived in it for the last ten or twelve
years, it never being empty for a
day. The laborers employed in dig
ging the trench for the piping had
to tear up part Of the kitchen
floor. While pulling up a board
one Of the men found an enormous
ly big wallet, and brought it out. 1t
was hardly wallet, but more like
large piece of leather, and it was
rolled up around the biggest pile of
grecnbacks which any Of the men
ever saw. Powers was called, and
all the men crowded around. With
the open wallet in his hand he could
see that nearly every bill was mark
ed $3.50" or "$lOo" on the corner,
and that the pile was at least six
inches thick. Everybody was excl
ted and jubilant, when Powers
clutched at the pile to hold up the
bills, and 10! he held in his hands a
mass Of moldy fragments. More
care was taken in trying to handle
the balance, but the bills faded to
dust and mold, as soon as touched,
and in five minutes more the money
was heaped up in the wash dish,
looking like a pile of black ashes
except that one could see the figures
$780," "loo," and $780," here and
there.
Powers estimates that there was
at least s15, 700 in the wallet. How
the money came under the kitchen
is more than he can imagine. 1t is
not remembered that any robbery
involving the loss Of so much mon
ey has taken place within the last
six or eight years, but it seems GER
tain that the money was put under
the house by thief, who may have
been sent to prison, or died since
the event. The spot where the wal
let lay was qnite dry, and it would
have taken several years for the
money to become SO eaten up by
mold. The news Of the discovery
travelled over the neighborhood, and
people visited the place all day to
gaze into the wash basin and heave
a sigh of regret that some one could
not have been benefited by the filthy
lucre. Persons who have summer
kitchens should lose no time in tear
ing up the floors and making thor

Kato Field. S Views of the Germans.

Romance Of tho War.
From the Cleveland Plaindcaier

From the Cleveland Plaindcacr
Our ncighboring city of Titlin is
just now deeply interested in the
sequel of war episode, which
shows how romance sometimes
creeps into the events of real life.
Early in the war Tiffin and vicinity
had a sort Of itinerant Albright
preacher named Downey. Upon
the outbreak Of the war Downey en-
tered the service as Captain in
one Of the Seneca regiments, and
when the government decided upon
employing negro troops, he became
Colonel of q colored regiment. Dur
ing the campaign in Tennessee, his
regiment CHANGED to be encamped
upon the estate of Colonel Washing
ton, near Nashville. The regiment
seems not to nave been under the
best discipline; and its black des-
peradoes were disposed to give free
rein to their brutal instincts. They
seized Colonel Washington and
threatened him with instant death
and also set about destroying the
elegant family mansion. Colonel
Downey, by great exertions, and at
the imminent risk of his own life,
succeeded in rescuing Colonel
Washington from death, and in
saving the mansion and other pro-
perty from destruction. Colonel
Washington felt profoundly CRATE
ful at the time for Colonel Downcy's
braye exertions in his behalf, and
promised never to forget them.
There the matter rested, and the
wild scenes with which Downcy
was surrounded soon drove it out OF
his mind. He remained at the head
of his regiment till the war was
over, and then returned to- Tiffin
and settled down into a quiet Dc.
mestic life. Not long ago he died,
leaving his family in Strengthened
circumstances. Mrs. Downcy was
driven to her needle for support.
She and her children lived in their

humble way, with little thong hit
that a great change was soon to be
wrought in their condition. Recent
ly Col. Washington died, when it
was found that he had willed his
property, consisting Of $4,000 in
bonds and greenbacks, and three
hundred acres Of improved land
situated mile and a half from
Nashville the whole valued at
100000 at least to the heirs Of
Col. Downey. Israel J. Downey, a
son of the deceased Colonel, has
just returned from Nashville,
whittier he went to see about the
bequest. He found everything con-
cerning the will, as stated above.
The executor of the estate was in
Tiffin on Monday, arranging details
of the transfer.
The history of the rebellion con
tains few more romantic episodes
than this.

Providentially Directed.

Among the attendants at late
Methodist conference was very
beautiful and intelligent-looking
young lady, who drew the admiring
gaze of many eyes, particularly eyes
masculine, always on the lookout
for feminine faces. During the in
termission at noon, a spruce young
minister stepped up to the presid-
ing elder, and said, with an air of
great secrecy:
"Did you observe the young lady
who sat by the first pillar on the
left?"
eyes," said the elder. "What of
her."
"Why," said the young man, II
feel impressed that the Lord de-
sires me to take that lady for my
wife. | think she would make a
good companion and helpmate in
the arduous work of the ministry"
The elder, as a good christian
ought, had nothing to object.
But, in a few moments, another
candidate for ministerial efforts and
honors, and for the name Of husband
came confdentlally to make known
a like impression regarding the
same identical young lady.
"You had better wait awhile. 1t
is not best to be too hasty in deter
mining the source of such impress
ions," said the prudent elder.
And he said well, for hardly were
the steps of the second youth cold
at his side, ere third approached
with the same story, and while the
worthy confidant still marveled,
fourth drew near, with the ques-
ton:
"Did you notice the fine, noble
looking woman on your left?"
eyes" cried the swelling elder.
"Well, SIR" went on the fourth
victim of that unsuspicious girl,
Kit is strongly borne in upon my
mind that it is the will Of the Lord
that ! should make proposals of
marriage to that lady. He has i'm
pressed me that she is to be my
wife,"
The elder could hold in no
longer.
'Impossible! impossibler' he ex-
claimed, in an excited tone; the
Lord never could have intended
that four men should marry that one
womanw
