The Lost Umbrella.

Torture. They are different from an um-
brella. He may lose them; he is sure to
lose that. But he keeps on buying or
borrowing them. If he buys one some
one borrows it, and returns it to the
wrong man without knowing it. If he

and he has to borrow another from anoth-
er source to make it good We don't I'M
derstand it. Nine of every ten men who
to-day possess umbrellas are not the own
ers of them. Heaven only knows where
the owners are. Perhaps they are dead
perhaps they are in exile, and, perhaps,
which is more likely, they are under other
umbrellas. People will borrow an UNI
brella when they won't borrow anything
else. They will borrow it as long as there
is bit Of cloth or rib to it. They will
| borrow the stick if the slide is in it.
| While it bears the remotest semblance to
an umbrella they will borrow it and-keep

duced but that some one would take it in.
The only time an umbrella is really inval-
liable is when you want it, and that is the
exact time 1t fails to appear. When the
sun is shining brightly and the dust is five

to the Herald from Valencia states that
previous to the surrender 10000 troops
had concentrated before the city, under
command of MARTINEZ, Velardeand VII
loncona, who had also eighteen siege
cannon in position. The Junta pro-
posed to surrender the city on condl-
ton that the Commander guaranteed
full pardon to all insurgents, and ex-
pressed apprehension that the insur-
gents would burn tho city If these
terms were not conceded. This propo-
sitlon was made on the 9th, On the
same day stampede from the city oc-
Cured. The frightened people were
equally alarmed at the bombardmcnt
Of the city and the excuses OF the in
surgents. After two days parley and
delberation, the Commander rejected
the terms, whereupon the Junta and
the most violent OF the insurgents took
to flight about midnight for the port of
Valencia and embarked on q steamer
for Carthagena. They We're hootcd by
the people. Out of fifteen battalions Of
volunteers three only remained in the
city. Three hundred killed and
wounded will cover the losses on both
sides, but the injury to the city and
commerce is very great. One hundred

Governor Joslin and Major Bracket
had two interviews with the President

dwelling especially on the cruel man
ner in which the prisoners are treated

also sought to impress on the President
the necessity for speedy action, as they
feared the people in Minnesota would
take the settlement of the case in their
own hands. The President, according
to the dispatch, assured them that
unless the matter was disposed of
within reasonable time, demand in
unmistakable terms would be made on
the British government, and would be
followed by further action. The Presi-
dent then asked his visitors tO rod1cp u
