The Court of Claims rendered judgment Tor
S13. 595 in favor of Eugene Deikelman, sub
iect of Prussia for loss sustained by detention
of the Prussian ship Essex at New Orleans I'M
der an order of Gen. Butler, on suspicion OF

edge of the risk incurred in coming in conflict
with the will of the military commander. rms
claim was referred to the Court by special act
of Congress. Judgment was rendered for SlS,-

field was a wide one, and the young lady did
full Justice to her theme. The paper was very
amusing. The omission of her name in our re-

The Maine General Hospital Fair journal is
to be called the Tonic, as a title with medical
flavor seems essential. 1t is to be under tie
editorial charge of Miss Mary S. Deering and
Miss Marcia D. Bradbury, the bare mention of
whose names is sufficient guaranty for the
brightness and liveliness of the paper. 1t will
contain eight pages, three of which will be filed
with reading matter prepared specially for the
Tonic. We understand that some of the most
eminent and entertaining writers in the coun-
try will make contributions, and there will be q
full representation of the best talent of this
city and vicinity. All the local interests and
incidents of the Fair will be graphically writ
ten up. This department will be under the spe-
cial charge Of Miss Bradbury, while Miss Deer
ing will manage the general literary depart
ment. Five pages will be devoted to advertise
ments, and as the paper will be very largely
sold both to our own citizens and to the crowds
of strangers attending the Fair, it will afford
very desirable advertising medium. 1t will
be issued as an evening paper each day of the
Fair. There will be also q number containing
announcements and other preliminary matters
issued four days before the opening of the Fail
and one number on the day after its close, max
ing ten numbers in all. We cordially commend
this charito-iterary enterprise to the good
graces of the public and congratulate the Fair
managers en- their happy selection of editors.

A THOUGHTFUL AND GENEROUS Acr.-The
operatives of the Farnsworth Wooden Manufac-
turing Co. at Lisbon, of which Messrs. Deering
s. Milliken of this city are agents, have given
one days receipts to the Maine General Hospi-
tai. This generous act cannot be too highly
commended. The workmen giving the money
will not probably directly reap anyrof its bene-
fits, but they thoughtfully recognize the fact
that scores of similar workmen are every day
in want of just the kind of care that the Maine
General Hospital is disposed to give, and they
make this generous sacrifice in behalf of that
class of men and women. They also recognize
that the institution is just what its name indi-
Gates, and will be the asylum Of the poor and
suffering all over the State. The workmeu Of
the Farnsworth Company have set an example
worthy of imitation.

THE MODOC WAR.

NEW YORK, April ga San Francisco des-
patch has the following:
Reports frcm the lava beds indicate that
Gen. Gillem is puzzled as to the whereabouts of
the Modocs 1t is supposed that they are scat
tered. Small parties are at times visible in
number OF places, but are not found when the
places are captured, having escaped by some
underground connections.
Gillem's inactivity has had bad effect on all
the unfriendly tribes in northern California and
Oregon. The outside Indians are well posted
in regard to the Modoc war.
No Satisfactory movement has been made since
the 18th inst. Gen. Gillem requires at least
double his present force, and sharp shoote RS
and experienced Indian fighters arc badly
needed.
The last reports are that the Modocs ara en-
trenched in a new ambush, and are gradually
approaching the edge of the lava beds.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s-Nothing impor-
tant has been received from the lava beds since
the Goth inst, when Lieut.. Leary's company
was attacked near the camp. Donald Mckay
reports that the hlodocs are encamped at the
base of the mountains at the south end of the
lava BEDS The troops are how divided into
three companies. Capt Thomas left on the
18th inst with cavalry and Warm Spring
Indians to reconnoitre in the vicinity of the
Modocs' position. Lieut. Egan is GONZALES cent.
Nearly all of the cavalry horses are sick with

The Modocs Scattered.
A special courier arrived at Yreka last night
from the lava beds. The opinion prevailed al
headquarters that the Modocs Will not make
another stand but will break up in small par
ties that must be hunted, in detail making al
all summers work for the cavalry. Gen. JEFF
ferson G. Davis and staff reached Yreka yester-
day afternoon and will proceed immediately to
