Not the Man lie Thought.

Some years ago a young naval officer
was dispatched with a message to Com
modore Stewart, then at his home in
New Jersey. When he reached the
Commodore's country seat, he saw an
old man hauling manure from the barn
yard. Surprising him to be n of the
hired hands, he approached and sang
ont
"Helloa, old fellow is the Commo-
dore at home? ?"
Eyes" responded the ba~refooted,
shabbily-dressed man, "just walk up to
the house."
The officer strutted pompously to the
house and was quickly seated in the
parlor. Soon after, perceiving the same
person passing by the window, he again
asked
"Well, old man, how soon will the
Commodore be here ?"
In a very short time, now" quickly
answered the person addressed.
Presently the very same old fellow
entered the room, and announced to the
horror-struck messenger, 81 am the
Commodore, what do you wish ?"
The establishment on the young Off
GERS face can be better imagined than
described. He briefly delivered his
message, and then received such n "lect-
IRE" from the Commodore as he was
not likely to forget. After promising
to respect old age always afterwurd, he
took his departure, much wiser and
much more crestfallen than he came

Frugal industry is regaining its merited
recognition, and its merited rewards.
Gradually, but, under the providence
of God, surely as we trust, the
nation is recovering from the
lingering results of q dreadful
civil strife. For these and all the
other mercies vouchsafed, it becomes
us as a people to return heartfelt and
grateful Acknowledgements, and with
our thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and temporary
suffering. 1 therefore recommend that
on Thursday, the 9th day of November
next, the people meet in their respect
i've places of worship to make their
Acknowledgements to Almighty God for
His bounties and His protection, and
to offer to Him prayers for their continu-
ance.
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
14th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1873, and of the Independence OF
the United States the ninety-sevennh.

An invention by Signor Abbiati of a
new pillow for clearing the tracks OF
steam and street railroads, is attracting
attention, and the claim is made for II
that it is both expeditions, thorough,
and cheap. The machine, which oper-
ates on the n or lee, is a heavy re-
volving saw or fan, which cuts into the
opposition deeply, and sends the frag-
ments flying. The snow is thrown to a
great distance on either side Or, in
case Of II very deep bank, it is taken up
and hurled backward upon platform
cars, by which it can be removed.

THE ~VIRGINIUS.
Particular, Of the Capture of the Vessel
The Hasty COurt-Martial

Particulars of the Capture Of the Vessel
The Hasty COuri-Martial.
A Havana letter gives an account OF
the capture of the steamer Virginius by
the Spanish gunboat Tornado, from
which it appears that as soon as the
Tornado got. within gunshot of the
steamer, she fired a gun, followed by
three other shots and a shell. This
brought-to the Virginius, and two
armed boats from the Tornado came
alongside, took possession Of the YES
sci, and made prisoners of all on board.
At the time of the capture the Nirginius
was flying the American flag, but this
was pulled down by a Spanish officer,
and a Spanish ensign was hoisted in its
place, although the papers of the vessel,
duly dispatched for Colon, were handed
to him. After the capture, the next two
hours were employed in transferring
some of the prisoners to the Tornado
and putting a prize crew on the Vlr-
ginius.
At midnight, the two vessels started
for Santiago dc Cuba, and arrived there
on the following afternoon at 3 o'clock,
having been joined by the Spanish
steamer Cantabro. Upon their arrival
in port the intelligence spread like
lightning, and attracted an immense
crowd of people. The Government
Palace and other public buildings were
Illuminated, and all the authorities,
civil and military, went to felicitate
Gov. Burriet upon the news, who, in the
evening, gave a brilliant reception. The
vessels were surrounded in the bay by a
number Of boats filed with bands of
music and cheering volunteers. The
festivities were kept up late i'll the
night. On the following day (the 2d)
n court-martial was held on board the
Tornado. which commenced Mt 9 o'clock
and terminated ut 4. All the prisoners
were tried as pirates, and the finding of
the court and the sentences were sent to
the Captain General and the Admiral in
sealed packets. After the court had
concluded its task, all the prisoners,
with the exception of Bambetta, Jesus
del Sol, Gen. Ryan and Pedro Ccs-
pedes, were transferred to the jail III the
city, escorted by a force Of 100 yolun-
tcers and Il number of marines. Gen.
Burriet, it is said. coolly asked that all
the prisoners should he turned over to
him, with the exception Of the Captain
and crew. who should be sent to Havana,
at the disposal of the C~ommandant,
Gen. de Marinats, and declared that
within twenty-four hours afterwGrd all
should be tried and executed, in order
to avoid any complication with the TX
terior-that is, foreign intervention. He
also detained n telegram which the
United States Consul had decided TO
send to the United States Consul at
Kingston, reporting the capture and
inquiring into the nationality of the
Virginius.
The Virginius had her papers in or
der, and was dispatched for Colon, all
of her passengers appearing on the pa,
pers rs laborers for a railroad that is
building there.
