AUSTRALIA.

MELBOURNE, Aug. 24-COmmodore Jas.
G. GOOdenough, commanding the British
Squadron in Australian waters, died on the
2Oth from poisoned arrow, and although
every effort was made to cOunteract its
effect, the poison proved fatal. One sea-
man was killed and three wounded by
savages.
The Colonial Office has received the fol-
lowing details of the attack on Commodore
Goodenough, which led to his death: The
Commodore and party on the 18th inst,
landed in Carlisle Bay, to open intercourse
with the natives of Santa Cruz Island, who
attacked the Sandfly in the same place last
year. After remaining about one hour on
shore, having made apparently satisfactory
progress in the object Of their mission, they
were preparing to return to the ship, when
suddenly the natives, who were only few
wards of shot at Commodore GoOdenOugh,
and poisoned arrow penetrated his left
side. The boat then put of under fight
of arrows. Seven men were wounded, in
Guiding Lieutenant Hawker. Two of the
wounded have since died from the effect of
pOisons; the others are improving. As
soon as the boat returned the Pearl shelled
and burned the native village and then re-
turned to Nelson's Bay.

WHO WAS Ii zRMANN-

Arminius, or Herman ], a colossal statue
Of whom was unveiled LefOTe an immense
multitude in presence Of the princes Of
Germany and other distinguished visitors
last week was Prince of the Cherusel,
German tribe, and was born 10 b. G.. He
became a Roman citizen OF the equestrian
order in his youth, and served in the
troops auxiliary to the Roman army on
the Danube. In the year 0 b. c., he plan
ned a successful instruction against Varus,
the Roman commander, and defeated his
troops with great slaughter, Varus taking
his own life TO prevent capture. 1t
WN after the news Of this defeat
that the Emperor Augustus exclaimed,
"Varus, give T,3 back my legions." Ger
manicus in few years marched against
Arminius WITH $4,000 men, but was de-
feated. He again attempted the subjuga-
ton of Germany with 100000 men, and
after a severe battle was driven across the
Rhine. The Romans never attempted to
cross the river again, and Anminius bears
thu title Of LiberatOr Of the German ma,
ton, which he seems 10 fully deserve.
Arminius, after driving out the Romans,
had a contest with MarbOd, chief
Of the Maresmanni, who was seek
ing the supreme power in The
nation. lie defeated him and suisse
quently was himself destroyed by t.each-
cry IN his own family. Tacitus, in his
"De MOribus," refers to the enthusiasm
with which the name Of Arminius was
cherished in his time, and the LiDeratOr
has lived in German songs 10 this day.
The defeat of Varus and that of Gernani-
Gus constituted two OF the decisive battles
of the world. They prevented the alb
sOTptiOn Of the German race into the
Latin race, IS the victory Of Charles Mar
tel, at POicters, checked the progress Of
Moorish domination in Europe. The
Philadelphia Times says Of the monument:
is&Ut even the CJsars, whose legions he
overthrow, possessed its equal. The great
statue, which was unvailed in the presence
Of Emperor Wilhelm and hundred thou
sand people, IS one hundred feet, and stand
ing on its lofty pedestal, erected on q high
hill, will tower far above the Colossus Of
Rhodes. The latter, according to Pliny,WhC

Beaten to a Jelly.
Special to the Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK, Aug. pa thrilling trag-
edy and burglary occurred at No. 275
Greenwich street to-day, by which James
ii. Noe, of the firm Of James h Noe &
Sons, will probably lose his life. The firm
are extensive brush manufacturers, and in
their lofts are stored large quantities of
valuable feathers and stock for manufac-
turing brushes. Mr.. Noe secured the
scuttle on Saturday so that no thieves
might enter on Sunday, and the firm went
home feeling uneasy about their property.
About 7:30 O'Clock this morning James II.
Noe, feeling great anxiety about the
storage went 10 examine the
premises to see if all was
right. When he assembled to the third
story he heard somebody prying at the
scuttle that covered the ladder leading from
the fourth story to the roof. He went up
to where the burglar was at work. All
was dark in the room, but he mounted the
ladder fearlessly, and when the burglar
opened the scuttle, after prying of the
fastening with a jimmy, Mr.. Noe sprang
out on the roof and confronted him. The
burglar was as much astonished as though
an apparitiOn had been before him. Mr..
Noe grappled with him upon the roof, ard
attempted TO drag him down TO the street
and deliver him to an officer. The burgiSr
dragged Mr.. Noe TO the back part of the
fourth story room and struck him with tie
jimmy. Mr.. Noe seized a pointed iron us,d
in making brushes, intending to defend
himself with it, The burglar lodged the
blow, however, and seized Mr.. Noes
weapon, with which be felled him to the
floor, saying: ''Yo weapon is better than
mine!" The burglar then dealt Mr.. Noe a
series of powerful blows, which soon rend-
cred him insensible. The thief then
bound Mr.. Noe hand-and-foot, gagged him,
put 4 napkin about his mouth. He then
tied a heavy wOrkman's apron over that,
and secured the whole by a strong silk
handkerchief. While Mr.. Noe was ulcon-
scious the robber rifed his pockets, secuF-
ing a gold watch and chain valued at $500,
SIS in money, and other valuables,
worth perhaps 500. When Mr..
Noe recovered consciousness the
burglar was washing his hands
In a bucket Of water near by. "FOr Gods
sake give me 4 drink" mOaned Mr.. Noe.
81 can't stop" replied the burglar; 81 shall
! get twenty years if am caught, and must
| get out of this in a hurry before any one is
alarmed" The burglar then took drink
at the faucet, skipped up the stairs to the
roof, and closed the scuttle after him. Be-
fore leaving, he told Mr.. Noe that, if he
dared to make any outcTy, or attempt to
summon aid of any kind, he (the burglar
would return and kill him. He then fed.
After a succession Of screams, Mr.. Noe
heard a woman approaching. After cut
ting his bonds, the lady gave an alarm, and
the police were soon on the scene and took
care Of the wounded man. His injuries
are serious, and it IS doubtful whether or
| not he survives.
