the age OF seventy years. He was born In Mason
county, Kentucky, and entered the service in the
year 1929 nrst serving on the United States steam
ship Sea Gull. the principal incident in his
career occurred in Hampton Roads. when he was
in command Of the frigate Congress, in the year
1862. Strictly speaking he was not in command Of
the vessel at the time, for he had been ordered
rom washington to take charge of the frfgate San
tee then in the Gulf of Mexico, and had trans
ferred his authority over the Congress to his rse
lieutenant, Joseph Smith. But, with the gal
liant though Ruthless encounter into which
the Congress so dauntlessly entered against the
rebel ram Merrimac, and In which the frigate was
sunk. the name Of Commodore william Smith will
be ever Identified. The dates OF his promotion were
as follows -Midshipman. 1923; lieutenant, 1881;

the warpath arms himself with his
scalping knife; but away from home
where he expects sunshine and discards his
umbrella, what right has the sky to be over
cast and the rain to fall? The gay crowds
that focked to the Prater evidently did not
cherish such feelings for they seem to have
defed the elements in their determination to
do honor to the momentous event.
The scene is brought wildly before our
eyes by our cable dispatches, and we can
almost picture it as an occurrence of yester-
day in our own city, SO graphically is the story
told. We can imagine the day, with its 6tful
gusts Of cold wind, the rufled, leaden waters
of the Danube, the rustling, trembling
trees. the flags tapping angrily over the
wings Of the gigantic edifce. We can
see the gayly dressed crowds thronging the
magnificent Ringstrasse, passing over the sus-
pension bridge, along the noble Praterstrnsse
into the park, and down the principal avenue
with it's rows Of stately trees An orderly con-
course il is, as becomes the city; no bolster
business or vivacity, except at intervals where
group of some more excitabls nationality is
passing along; an entire absence of that nee
essary ingredient of British crowd, called
''chaff" Stepping inside the building, under
the grand dome, we can behold the gathering
Of the motley crowd in variety Of costumes !;

a New article of Food.

Mr.. George G.. Campbell, Of 0swego
n. Y, has patented as new article of
food an improved mixture OF rye and corn
meal, to be used in making rye and
Iudiau bread.
It's claimed that the mixture Of the
two substances in large Qualities, may
be made SO as to obviate the necessity ot
scalding the corn meal before udding the
rye floor. as the usual custom. The rye
meal is first sifted through a screen OF
suitable iineness in order to remove the
coarsest portions and it is then con, hined
with about an equal quantity of cora
meal. The mixture In then placed in
suitable packages for market.
The inventor claims that by sitting the

to the CONSERVATION and surprise of those
engaged in the operation, voice was
heard within the cask

extended to the size of two saucers, the
laborers exclaimed 4:

Quite crowd had gathered around the
scene of action, then a cultural laugh
broke forth, that made our hair stand on
