Mr.. Eugene Grevlse. by some known as
Eugene Galloway. steward of the Peabody
hotel, died yesterday OF fever, after a four
days illness. During the sickness of Mr.. C..
B. Galloway, proprietor of the hotel, Mr..
Grevise directed its affairs with a precision
and regard for the comfort of the guests that
won for him the friendship of every one of
them. His only ambition seemed to be to
please and to merit the appreciation of his
employer, for whom he expressed always the
utmost solcItude. He was faithful, honest
man, possessed of fine administrative ability
and knowledge of his business.

Grenada Sentinel, 21st "For the timely
aid from the north and the south, the east
and west, in the shape of contributions both
of money and supplies, how shall we thank
the generous donors? l. will not, perhaps, be
our privilege to know how few, if any, of
the great Union who remembered US in
mercy when we were not able to help our
selves. But to each one, wherever he or she
may reside, in the name of all the living
citizens here or elsewhere, we extend to such
the thanks of uDfeigned gratitude. When
we remember how powerless and PROSTATE we
were In our dire necessities, and how quick
the people all over this great republic re-
sponded to our call for help, we can only say
just now, from the very depths of our heart,
God bless the generous givers. To the in
dividuals who came to help US, and per-
formed their work IN the true spirit of chris
tian philanthropy, we owe a debt of graft
tude that life will not be long enough to pay.
The high and noble spirits who came and
helped until they fell at our sides, we cannot
thank, and as they have passed beyond our
association, we can and do thank God for
such noble specimens of humanity. There
are also some of our citizens who remained
to perform noble part in this call of help,
but for want of time we cannot say more just
now, but these and some of our honored
dead, WILL at some future time claim the
tribute OF our pen.

for any of the quack money schemes which
have been preached among us. They have
fixed a day for resumption, as we have done,
but not without making provision for de-
creasing their paper and increasing their
specie. They have not aimed at a cheap
currency with maximum of paper and the
minimum of coin.
They have not COMPOUNDED gold and gov
eminent Bonds together. and deluded them
selves with the idea that there is no essen
tial difference between the two, The end
to which the bank of France is aiming is to
make its notes at all times and under all
circumstances convertible into specie, and to
accomplish that object they know that they
cannot safely issue all the notes that the
business communities will absorb in times
of confidence, nor do they trust to any other
resources in time of difficulty than an ample
stock of the precious metals in their vaults.
This, as we understand the matter, is the
lesson taught by English, German, Dutch
and French banking always to have on
hand a full supply of the exportable pre-
cious metals, in order to maintain the credit
of the non-exportable promises to pay those
metals.

A Whales Death FURRY.

"Hurrah, boysl see she risesl" was
the general shout. Up came the whale,
more suddenly than we expected. A
general dash was made at her by all the
boats. I" Stern for your lives stern of
all p cried some of the more experienced
harpooners. "See, she's in furry
First the monster tapped the water vio-
lently with its fins; then its tail was
elevated aloft, lashing the ocean around
into mass of foam. This was not its
death furry, for gaining strength before,
any more harpoons or lances could be
struck into it, away it went again, head
ing towards the ice. Its course was now
clearly diseefned by small whirling
eddy, which showed that it was at no
great distance under the surface, while
in its wake was seen a thin line of oil
and blood which had exuded from its
wound. Wearied, however, by its ex-l
ertions and its former deep dive, it was
again obliged to come to the surface to
breathe. Again the; eager, boats dashed
in, almost running on its back, and from
everyiside it was piled with lances, while
another harpoon. was driven deep into it,
making it doubly secured.
/ Our boat was the most incautious, for
we were right over the tail of the whale.
The chief harpooper warned U.S.. Back,
my lads; back Of all" he shouted out,
his own boat pulling away. g" Now she's
in her death furry These words were
not out of his mouth when I saw our
harpooner leap from the boat and swim
as fast as he could toward one of the
others. was thinking of following his
example, knowing he had good reasons
for it, for / had seen the fins of the ami
NAL flap furiously y, and which had warned
him, when violent blow, which i
fancied must have NOT only dashed the
boat to pieces, but have broken every
bone in our bodies, was struck on the keel
of the boat. Up flew the boat in the air,
some six or eight feet at least, with the
remaining crew in her. Then down we
came, one flying on one side, one on the
other, but none of us hurt even, all splut-
tering and striking, out together, while
the boat came down keel uppermost, not
much the worse either. Fortunately we
all got clear of the furious blows the
monster continued dealing with its tail.
"Never saw whale in such hurryp'
said old David, into whose boat / was
taksn. For upwards of two minutes the
furry continued, we all the while look
ing on, and no one daring to approach
it; at the same time aspoutof blood and
mucus and oil assembled into the air from
its blow-holes and sprinkled us all over.
| ''Hurrah, my lads, she spouts blood p
we shouted out to each other, though
we all saw and felt it plain enough.
| There was last lash Of that tail. not
faint and scarcely rising aboveth water,
but which, a few minutes ago, would
have sent every boat round it flying into

round upon its side, and then it foated
belly up and dead.
