American Iron Ships.

A writer in the Philadelphia Ledger
says: A few weeks ago the steamer
Wilmington, of Clydes's line, built at
Wilmington, DEL, of American iron,
ran with great force upon a reef off the
Florida coast, while on her way from
New York to Havana with full cargo
Seventy feet of the length of the ship
was on the reef, where it pounded
for twelve hours, every time the sea
lifted the hull and let it fall. After
some of the cargo was thrown over
board, the ship thus lightened was
backed off, and she went on her way
to Havana, where her condition was
examined. 1t was found that, while
the heavy pounding" she had gone
through when aground on the reef had
dented and bulged some of her iron
plates, not one of them was broken,
and only one of them in any degree
cracked. A small patch was all that
was Immediately required, when she
took in a heavy cargo, carried 1T to
New York, and then came around to
Cramps ship yard to have the dents
taken out of her iron plates. This is
all that happened to the American
built ship, whose plates, or at least
that portion of them subjected to the
strain, are of Pennsylvania made iron.
The plates were simply bent out of
shape, and so slightly damaged that
they were rerolled cold and put back
again. The great tenacity of the iron
resisted that tremendous pounding"
on the reef for more than half a day
without breaking. 1t is this inyalua-
BILE quality which the owner of Della
ware river built ship gets for his ad-
ditional Is per cent of cost.

The Hebrew Quarter in Amsterdam.

A correspondent, writing from Am
sterdam, says:
The Jews quarter is worth seeing, if
only. to note the difference between
them and the Dutch people in form
and face. We were told that We
should know when we got there by
their faces, and we did. The whole
population seemed to be in the street.
Their goods were spread out for sale
far into the middle, and the people
filled the rest. Some of them are
among the wealthiest men in the city,
and the art of cutting diamonds is al
most entirely confined to them. They
have many large establishments worked
by steam engines, which set in motion
many small wheels whose cogs, acting
on regular metal plates, cause them to
revolve 1000 times a minute; pow
dered diamond is placed in these, and
the stone to be polished fastened In a
metal cup, submitted to the friction of
the adamantine particles. -Four can
be polished in tne wheel at a time.
We visited the largest establishment,
and were extremely interested; but,
although they employ five hundred
men, we only saw one operate as all
are at the same kind of work. o.

We lay it down as a rule, to which
no exceptions are to be known, or

ing election, no conservative gentleman
will allow himself to be named as an
independent candidate for Office, and
if any are selfish enough to try it in
this part of Virginia, the Tribune now
announces that he shall be treated as
and classed with the enemy, as even
worse than radical. No man deserv-

even though he secures his election.

MARK TWAIN'S GREAT BEEF CON.
TRACT.

In as few words as possible / wish
to lay before the nation what share,
hOwsoever small, / have had in this
matter-this matter which has so ex-
ercised the public mind, engendered so
much ill-feeling, and sotilled the news
papers of both continents with distor-
ted statements and extravagant COM
ments.
The origin of this distressful thing
was this-and assert here that every
fact in the following resume can be
amply proved by the official records of
the General Government:
John Wilson Mackenzie, of Rotter-
dam, Chemung county, New Jersey,
deceased, contracted with the General
Government, on or about the 10th day
of October, 1861, to furnish to General
Sherman the sum total of thirty bar
rels of beef. Very well. He started
after Sherman with the beef, but when
he got to Washington, Sherman had
gone to Manassas so he took the beef
and followed him there, but arrived
too late; he followed him to Nashville,
and from Nashville TO Chattanooga,
and from Chattanooga to Atlanta-but
he never could oyertake him. At At
lanta he toook fresh start, and fol-
lowed him clear through his march to
the sea. He arrived too late again by
a few days, but, hearing that Sherman
wss going out in the Quaker City ex-
cursion to the Holy Land, he took
shipping for Beirut, calculating to
head off the other vessel. When he
arrived in Jerusalem with his beef he
learned that Sherman had not sailed
in the Quaker City, but had gone to
the Plains to fight the Indians. He
returned to America and started for
the Rocky Mountains. After eighteen
days of arduous travel ON the Plains,
and when he had got within forty
miles Of Sherman's headquarters, he
was tomahawkcd and scalped, and the
Indians got the beef. They got all of
it but one barrel. Sheaman's army
that, and so, even in death,
the bold navigator partly fulfilled his
contract. In his will, which he had
kept like a journal, he bequeathed the
contract to his son Bartholomew w.

ing bill and then died:

A Strange Suicide.

The San Francisco Call tells of case
of suicide in that city which is of de-
cided interest, opropOS of the Goodrich
James P. Wilson. The post norton
examination revealed the fact that there
was bullet wound in the upper portion
of the head and another in the region
of the right eye. The bullet which pro-
duced the wound first described entered
the forehead and shattered the frontal
bone, then glanced along the upper
part of the brain, while the other bullet
entered the right eye, and after passing
through the brain, lodged in the back
of the head. This, in connection with
the fact that, when found, the deceased
held in his right hand single-barrel
breech-loading pistol, led to the belief
that he could not have committed sui
eide. The argument used in favor of
that belief was that deceased could not
have inflicted two wounds such as de-
scribed with single barrel pistol. A
further investigation, however, showed
that any other theory was unte1able.
One of the witnesses testified that he
saw a man walking along Turk street,
and saw the man stop, raise his hand
toward his head, and then heard a re-
port of weapon, and saw smoke. That
he supposed at the time that the man
was shooting at birds, for after the shot
had been fired he saw the man continue
along Turk street, and saw him cross a
fence. That about half or three-quar.
tiers of an hour after that he saw the
same man return to the place where the
first shot was fired, heard him fire 6
second shot, and saw him fall. That
there was no one in the vicinity at the
time. He afterward learned that the
man was dead, having shot himself
Ten feet from where the bedy was founc
pool of blood was discovered, and neal
it an empty cartridge shell which ex
actly fitted the pistol.
