NAVY DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON, August 9, 1876. !
General Order No. MS:
A medal of honor is hereby awarded to
Charles Giddings, seaman, and William Corey,
landsman, of the United States steamer Ply
mouth, for heroic conduct, for their efforts in
trying to save the life of one of the crew of
that vessel who had fallen from aloft over

1876
Also to Charles Richards, ordinary seaman,
OF the United States steamer Plymouth, for

Also to Boatswain's te,Alexander Parker,
of the United States steamer Portsmouth, for
gallant conduct in attempting to save ship
mate from drowning, at the navy yard, Mare

NAVY DEPARTMENT
General Order No. 2I7:
Before a naval general court-martial, con-
vened at the navy yard at Mare Island, Cal,
on the 31st day of May, 1876, by order of the
Secretary of the Navy, was arraigned and tried
Bancroft Gherardi, captain in the United
States navy, upon the charge of "causing pun
ishment forbidden by law to be inflicted on per-
sons in the navy" which charge consists of
sixteen specifications, each setting forth one
individual case.
Nine of these specifications are found proven,
and of the charge the accused is found
"guilty."
SENTENCE.
"And the court does therefore sentence the
said Bancroft Gherardi, captain in the navy,
to be suspended from duty for two years, and
to be publicly reprimanded in general orders
by the Hon. Secretary of the Navy"
The Secretary of the Navy reluctantly ap-
proves the proceedings, finding and sentence,
because he deems the sentence inadequate to
the crime proven.
In reprimanding Captain Gherardi, the Sec
retary of the Navy reminds him, and the ser
vice at large, that no officer should abuse his
lawful authority; far less should any officer set
the example, as in this case, of willful and
to prevent the iufiction of cruel and barbarous
forms of punishment. No commander of q
naval vessel who thus sets the example of mis-
conduct can expect to secure the respect or
obedience of the officers and men who are
placed under his command, or the confidence
of the Navy Department.
= Captain Bancroft Gherardi, U. s. Navy,
will, in conformity with his sentence, be sus-
pended from duty for two years from the date
of this order.
1t is further ordered that this general order
be read at all navy yards, naval stations, and
on board every naval vessel in commission.
GEO. NJ. robson,
Secretary of the Navy.

A Printers Dream.

A printer sat in his Office chair,
his boots were patched and his coat
threadbare, while his face looked
weary and worm with care, while
sadly thinking of business debt, old
Morpheus slowly round him crept,
and before he knew it he soundly
slept ; and, sleeping he dreamed that
he was dead, from trouble and toll
his spirit had fed, and that not even
a COW bell tolled, for the peaceful rest
of his cow hide sole. AS he wander
among tho shades, that smoke and
scorch in lower Hades, he shortly OBJ
served an iron door, that creakingly
swung on hinges ajar, but the entrance
was closed by n red-hot bar, and
Satan himself stood peeping out, and
watching for travellers Whereabouts,
and thus to the passing printer spoke,
and with growing voice the echoes
woke: Come in my dear, it shall
cost you nothing and never fear; this
is the place where / cook the ones,
who never pay their subscription
SIMS, for though in life they may
escape, they will find when dead it is
too late /; / will show the place where
/ melt them thin, with red-hot chains
and scraps of tin, and also where 1
comb their heads with broken glass
and melted lead, and if of refresh
ments they only think, there's boil
ing water for them to drink; there's
the red-hot grindstone to grind down
his nose, and red-hot rings to wear on
his toes, and if they mention that
they don't like fire, I'll sew up their
mouths with red-hot wire and then,
my dear sir, you should see them
squirm, while 1 roll them over and
cook to a turn" With these last
words the printer awoke, and thought
it all a.joke; but still at times SO real
did it seem, that he cannot3 believe it
was all q dream : and often he thinks
with q chuckle and grin, of the fate
of those who save their tin and never
pay the printer.

Since the panic of 1873 the tide of
emigration (says the Boston POST,
which hitherto had set strongly and
constantly toward our shores, bring
with it some of the best and most
valuable skilled labor of the Old
World, has been gradually turning
in the opposite direction. During the
last two years, as shown by reliable
statistics already published in the
Post, the number of outward bound
steerage passengers by the steamship
lines running between this port and
Liverpool has largely exceeded the
number arriving.
Last Fall the exodus of labor was
large but it was hoped that with the
return OF Spring, business would
have so far improved as to arrest this
movement, which is evidently drain
ing the country of its wealth-produo-
ing force. But this hope has not
thus far been realized. The outflow
not only continues undated, but is
apparently on the increase. Week
before last the outgoing Cunard
steamer took 100 steerage passengers
and last week 205. 1t is evident that
a large number of unemployed foreign
born laborer5, factory operatives and
mechanics, hailing from all parts of
New England, have been waiting

A San Francisco court has just
given Judgment for the plaintiff IN
case where he had lost one of three
tickets from that city to Washington.
1t never was found, and he identified
it perfectly by its number and circum
stances of its sale. Judge Thompson
decided that the company issuing the
ticket had power to contract to carry
passengers over lines beyond their
own, and Issuing 1t contracted 70 40
so. and regarded the ticket as essen
TALLY the same as ordinary CONNER

ON which according to all the author
tiles, a recovery might be had under
similar circumstances. Plaintiff got
$780, so, on giving a bond in 500 IN

Theosophy is a word almost new
to newspaper literature, although 1t
stands for the most ancient theory OF
religion known among men. 1t
seems that Baron de Palm, an eccen.
tic gentleman, whose funeral occurred
at New York yesterday. was a men,
Der of the Theosophical Society of that
city, and the obsequies were in ac-
cordance with the rites of Theeso-
phy, which are described rs consist
ing of "curiously phrased questions
and answers from a regular ancient
Egyptian liturgy in regard to the
nature of God, the human soul and
the future state of existence. During
the questions and answers incense
was burned" The cardinal idea of
theosophy is that can attain to a
direct and personal knowledge of
God without being dependent upon
revelations to others for divine in
struction. 1t is a form of heathenism
which belongs TO remote antiquity,
and the Delta of the Nile.
