Although our success on Tues
day was not nf a character to
cause exultation among our
friends, we have no cause to be
cast down. The positive gain of
two Congressman in this State is
no insignificant gain. 1t is pro-
bable, too, that if this were the
year to elect members to the
General Assembly, we would
have carried a majority of the
members of the Legislature.
1t is, therefore, of the utmost
Importance that if the Demo
Gratis and Liberal Republicans
should not relax their organiza-
ton; but they should do all they
can to strengthen it and make it
more efficient for the Presiden-
tial election. The great impor-
tant political battle of the Year
has not yet been fought.

An Ocean Ferry.

They have not got their submarine
tunnel yet under the Straits of Dover !;
but pending that stupendous acquisi-
ton, the French and British Govern
ments are favoring the establishment of
a steam ferry on a greatly enlarged
scale. The baats are to run from the
Admiralty Pier, Dover, to new harbor
to be made at Calais; and the intention
is to carry across trains of cars bodily
from one port to the other. just as our
ashore Line trains cross the streams
in Connecticut. To enable the ferry
boats to do this, they are to be OF pro-
digious size and strength. They are TO
be $50 feet long, with so feet beam and
80 feet depth OF hold. The draught is
to be Isl feet, loaded, the diameter of
the paddle-wheels 80 feet, the displacc-
ment 1000 tons, and the engines capa-
bic of working up to the force of 1000
horses. The estimated speed will be
eighteen knots an hour, and the length
of the trip one hour and ten minutes in
fair weather, and twenty minutes more
in foul. Three of these craft are to be
built at cost of 100000, gold, and
thus one will be in reserve for acct
dents. Six passages each way Dolly ave
counted upon, carrying an aggregate of
passengers and freight amounting to a
million yearly of the former and a mil
lion tons of the latter.
The absurdly small and uncomfort-
able boats now in use between England
and the Continent arr familiar to tray
elers, almost all of whom have hateful
DT
employing such craft in the service is
the shallow water on the French coast.
But the new mammoth ferry boats will
have to be accommodated with harbor
made expressly for them. The site for this
has been selected about mile northeast
of Calais Pierhead, and it is to extend
three quarters of mile from the shore.
In shape the harbor will be q quadrant,
and it will require sea-wall three thou
sand feet long. The area within will
be l47 ,094 square yards, and from the
shore-side an iron bridge on arches Of
10 feet span will run to the land. BY
this means the trains will make their
connection, and the long-yearncd for
desideratum of going to sleep in snug
carriage, in London, and waking up,
without change of conveyance, in Paris,
will thus at last be secured. Such an
improvement would seem to bode i'll for
the much talked-o of tunnel under the
Straits of Dover. We are assured how
ever, that the latter work will, in any
event, be carried into effect; and Ger.
tainly there is likely to be no deficiency
in trade or travel between the two
countries to afford the scheme adequate

An Extraordinary Canary.

One of the most remarkable instances
of endurance and sagaClty in the ornl-
biological line, is at present to be seen
on South Elalsted street, in the shape
of an elderly canary, that has now
reached the age Of twenty years, and is
still as spirited a scngster as he was ten
years ago. What is more surprising in
regard to the wee bit of melody is the
fact that it has been stone blind for two
years past, and looks" down with
contempt on its younger mates at their
dearth of music, and still MARBLES his de
licious music from his own 'song-book"
with volume enough to compensate for
their shortcomings. When darkness
first came upon the little fellow he eX-
perienced much difficulty in locomo-
ton, and was constantly coming in con-
tact with wires OF the cage, or with the
perches thereof BY degrees his lord
ship was taught caution, and now he is
perfectly sure-footed. He moves about
with method wonderful to observe
On going from perch to perch, he climbs
along the wires, at each step putting
out the foot as carefully as the blind
man his cane, and when he has reached
the desired position he tunes up with
great volubility as if in selfcongratula-
ton of his superior accomplishment. In
walking on the floor of his cage he uses
the same precautions, and in his daily
additions observes all the forms and
customs in vogue among his more fortu-
nate companions. In this performance,
it is noticeable, however, that he never
forgets his intirmity, for he washes his
head with the utmost care, always
avoiding contact between his claws and
any portion Of the feathers in the vi
cinity of his sightless eyes. Such sa-
gacity in a bird so fragile is really aston,
ishing, and this little blind musician is
the pride of his owner, the wonder of
the neighborhood, and, we suppose, the
envy of his feathered brethrep.-C CHI

A Novel Torpedo Boat.

The German navy is to have a special
ty in the shape of a novel torpedo boat
1t is to be forty feet by six. The boat
is to have the shape Of cigar, and for
safety to move only at night and under
water, with only the funnel and rota-
tory tube concealing the stearsman pro
truding. These the darkness of the
night will conceal, especially as the YES
sci is intended to move at extraordinary
speed. 1t is shot proof, of course,
wholly composed of iron plates but not
of veay great thickness. The engine,
heated with petroleum, is abaft, at the
thick end, the rudder being at the thin
point, corresponding to the bow. The
weapons will be concealed in the hold
of the vessel, whose crew will comprise
three or four men, their office being to
approach hostile vessels cruising in Ger
man waters unawarcs, apply their tor
pedOes and be off

A Money Order Case.

The Bolivar No. Free Press says A
legal case, somewhat novel in its char
acter has occurred here. Postmaster
Bushnell had received notification to
pay the sum of $3.50 to a citizen resid-
ing in the county on the presentation
by him of money orders to that amount.
An attorney of an inquiring turn of
mind happened to see the money order
registry lying open on the Postmasters
desk, and furthermore happened to OBJ
serve that the individual in whose favor
the money order was drawn was in
debted to a client of his, and imme.
diately bethought himself how he
might turn the information to account.
Accordingly, next morning he had
notice of punishment served on the
Postmaster, enjoining him from paying
the aforesaid $50 to the person for
whom 1t was intended. The Deputy
Sheriff had scarcely finished reading
the notice to the Postmaster, when the
person to whose order the money had
been sent, appeared on the scene, and
presenting his order, asked for the
money. The Postmaster was obliged to
confess that 1t was out of his power to
comply, and recited the circumstances
under which it was held. The disap-
pointed payee sought legal advice on
the subject. Attorney number two.
after hearing the case, ransacked the
Post Office Departments regulations
touching money orders, and thought he
discovered sufficient grounds for de-
handing that the money be paid to his
client. The Postmaster, however.
thought best to await instructions from
Washington on the subject before fork
ing over. AS the matter now stands.
the money is tied up in the hands of
the Postmaster, until the next meeting
of the Circuit Court in April, unless the
Post Office Department dissolves the in
junction sooner.

Some thirty years ago two young la.
dies, sisters, were at school in London,
where they had been sent from Jamaica,
their native place. After every one but
themselves was asleep they used to get
up quietly, slip down into the kitchen,
and there catch and eat the cock
reaches. This extraordinary habit was
not detected for some time, buj at last
the mistress found it out, and remon-
strated with them. They, however, de-
Tended themselves by saying that they
had seen her eat shrimps, which fed
upon all manner of carbon, whereas
the cockroaches were clean feeders,
living ON the crumbs which had been
suffered to lie about in the kitchen.
Even after the discovery, it was almost
impossible to keep them from the
kitchen at night, so strong was their
love of their oockroaches,

BraddOck's Fate-Interesting Letter.

A correspondent, after giving an &C
count of the planting, on the Goth ult.,
by Mr.. Murdoch and Mr.. King, Of sun
dry selected trees at the grave OF Gen.
Braddock, in Fayette county, Penn,
adds the following historical sketch of
events and incidents connected with
Braddock's expedition and death, and
the customs of that period:
In connection with Braddock' S grave,
we cannot resist the temptation to give
some historical incidents derived from
the Hon. Andrew Stewart. About the
year 1902 Mr.. Stewards father lived
about two miles east of BraddOck ;
grave, on what was called Braddock's
Old Road the old military road.
Being Supervisor Of roads he went with
some hands to repair the road, taking
with him Mr.. Stewart-then boy some
ten or twelve years of age. While the
men were at work on the east bank OF
Braddock's Run, Thomas Faucette born
in 17l2 and died in 1916, aged lO4
years, and who was with Braddock at
the time of his defeat and DEATH, an
old mountain hunter, then living on the
road less than a mile east of Braddock $
grave, in a cabin, came along with his
rifle on his shoulder, hunting knife in
his belt. dressed in blue hunting shirt,
bear-skin cap and buck-skin pants,
standing straight as an arrow. about six
feet four in his moccasins. Faucette
said: "Take care men, or you will dug
up Braddock's bones. We buried him
here where he died, right on the bank
of this run. We dug away the bank,
and drove the baggage wagons over the
grave, SO that the enemy could not find
it. l will show you the spot. The water
has washed down nearly to the bones.
Dig down there foot or two and you
will find them" The men did so and
found the bones.
." Braddock," said Faucctte to the
workmen, "was a brave man, but to
save his men shot him "Why so?'
was asked. 81 will tell you. My
brother Joe and | were fighting behind
trees, when Braddock came riding
along and struck Joe, saying, You COW
ard, stand up and fight like man
Considering him our worst enemy,
turned round and shot him instead of
an Indian. When Washington took
command he told us to tree. We did
so, and the remnant of us We're
saved"
In confirmation of Faucette's story,
history says that it was thought at the
time that Braddock was shot by one OF
his own men, and it was upon this occa
sion that Braddock, when Washington
advised him to let the men tree, said :;
"High times, when Virginia buckskin
undertakes to teach British General
how to fight"
