LETTERS received by last mai
from IL. NJ. S. Repulse state the re-
port Of the death of Paymaster Mill
man, Lieutenant Esson, Midship-
man, Davis and 60 OF the men of
that ship was an entire fabrication.
SO far as was known there had been
no deaths on board from any canse.
The Repuise was III a Palama.
LAST night about ten o'clock Mr..
j. Wilson, of the firm of ". 4 J..
Wilson, Government street. Lad oc-
casion to visit the store when his at
tention was attracted to The rear of
the building by a noise as OF rats
gnawing a board. He soon discov-
cred that some person was engaged
in cutting through one of the pan
els of the back door. He opened the
door suddenly and two men darted
across the lot in the rear and esca-
ped through Trounce alley. The
condition of the panel shows that
the burglars had cut nearly through
with a sharp knife, and that in a
few minutes they would have been
enabled to draw the bolts and make
fashionable selections from the stock
Of goods. The early hour at which
the burglary was attempted adds to
the audacity of the act.

Iue charm WHICH attacnoS Itself
to the theory of evolution seems
to have extended its influence be-
yond the ranks of the strictly sci
entific observers. A recent writer
has made extended research into
the laws of dress as considered in
the light of an evolution, and now
we find so practical journal as the
American Grocer engaged in dis
cussing the question. "Who made
the first barrel?" and in answer to it
presenting certain facts and suggcs-
tions alike curious and interesting.
The Egyptians are recorded as hav-
ing first adopted the hooped cask,
which use is credited to a probable
accidental discovery. Hollow tree
trunks, it is suggested, were most
likely the first tubs or buckets.
These would split in progress of
time and then the ingenuity of man
would suggest the girding of them
with wooden withes or hoops, thus
furnishing to tho world the first
barrel. What follows is in regular
SEQUENCE the supply of natural
tubs or hollow trunks being limited
the idea of constructing them of
piecesartificially split and fitted is
a simple one, and from this as
germ has sprung in these later
days all that astounding array of
complicated and ingenious mechan-
ical devices for splitting, beveling,
matching, heading. etc.-Appleton's

pers style him captain John
