the year 1754. when N. Godhen was In
India, he signed a treaty by which,
without obvious consideration, France
renowned every one of the vast terrific
rial acquisitions OF Duplex, and with
drew to the few commercial foothoids
on the coast which she held before;
while, to confirm the arrangement.
Mohammed Ali, the rival OF Chunda
Sahib, favored by the English, was re-
cognized as the ruler of the Carnatic.
Two years later, in 1851, war again broke
out between France and England, and
by 1851 the French had lost even Pondi-
cherry, and did not have an acre Of
ground left them in all India.
As for Duplex, the sickness at heart
with which he saw his towering schemes
brought to the ground may be imag-
ined. His utter humiliation, after al
most royal pomp, has an element OF
pathos. He could not even secure the
payment OF the money he claimed to
be due him from the French company
that had 80 long prospered through his
genius and zeal. He died, a wretched
man, In 1868, seeing England lust BEGIN

At the Merchants Exchange an inter-
esting exhibition OF q working model Of
new system OF steamship construction
was given yesterday by Capt. j. T..
McAdam. This new system is designed
TO 1aciiltate commerce with our Southern
and other bar-obstructed ports, and to
overcome one great difficulty expe-
rienced In shipping live stock to Eu-
rope. Inc objection alluded to Is the
tremendous vibration common to all
screw ships as now built, which has q
very unfavorable effect on the stock. To
accomplish these results Captain Sadler,
who is at present in command Of the
steamship State Of Indiana, invented q
plan by which double rudder and sd-
Unstable screw is used. In his system.
as shown at the Merchants Exchange.
the rudders are forward OF the screw in
the dead-wood and swing out on either
side into a very hollow run. The keel
OF the vessel from midships aft gradu-
ally widens out and is made hollow.
This admits Of the passage OF q column
OF water along the inner side Of each
rudder at the same rate Of speed as that
on the outside. By this means the rud-
ders always work In solid water rather
than In that which is broken up by the
revolutions Of the screw, and as result
the helm is properly answered and bet
ter steering Is attained than with the old
method. The propeller is an ordinary
screw attached to shaft in which there
is a universal joint by the use OF which
the screw may be raised clear above the
water-line or depressed till nearly It's
radius Is below the lower surface Of the
keel. When in deep water, or when the
ship Is pitching heavily and racing" is
the screw can be depressed
almost one-half its diameter lower than
IL mounted in the usual manner. This
will give reasonable degree of GER
tainty that it will always remain under
water, and besides it must work with
much less than the ordinary "slip," as
It operates in more dense water when
depressed than il it were nearer the sur
face. In crossing bar the screw can
be elevated to any degree without slow
Ing the engine, and when the shoal is
passed the propeller can instantly be
sent down to its old position. Steam
power can be readily applied to the
steering and propeller-eievating gear,
and can be handled very promptly. The
model which was exhibited yesterday
was carefully examined by many gentle.
men we'll versed in nauticai affairs. all
of whom admitted that Capt. Sadier's
invention was one OF great Importance.

How Oysters are Fattened.
baltimore News.

Very few persons who feed on the
large and toothsome oysters which are
| served up at the raw boxes of many OF
| the oyster houses in this city have the
remotest idea from what source the
| luscious bivalves are obtained, or in
what manner they are fattened.
The oysters obtained from Tangier
sound, Lynnhaven. and what are known
as the Seaside oysters, are rather
small oyster enclosed in an immense
| shell, their native element being salt
water. Those oysters, when dredged
and brought to the Baltimore market,
are sold to the packers and others at
the the rate OF about sixty cents a
bushel.
Recently plan has been discovered
by which these oysters can not only be
fattened In very short time, but their
value enhanced at least $50 per cent.
Two Of the larger oyster packing firms
are now engaged In this business, and
the manner OF procedure Is described as
follows by one who has watched the
operation:
When the oysters are unloaded from
the PUNCHES they are transferred to
scows, over which q deck is built, and
on which deck the oysters are placed.
Each OF these scows will carry deck
load of about 600 bushels of oysters.
These scows are then lowed to point in
the Patapsco river near the Ferry Bar
Bridge, where the water is quite shallow.
The vacant space in the scow, between
the deck and the bottom, is filled with
water by means Of a valve, and the scow
is sunk. There che is left during two
food tides, when the water is pumped
from her by mears Of a small machine,
provided for the purpose, and the scow
Is then towed up to the city again.
The change from the salt to the fresh
water and the immersion OF the oyster
during these food tides, it is said, fattens
them until what was at first but a COM
paratively insignificant oyster becomes
a plump and luscious bivalve, filling
its entire immense shell.
After this operation the oysters,
which, as stated, cost originally about
sixty cents q bushel, are placed on the
market, and readily command from
81 80 to 81 60 q bushel.
Yesterday there were seven scow-
loads OF these oysters immersed, and
the firms engaged In the business have
twelve scows constantly employed. The
whole operation Is tlnder the supervi-
sion OF one man, who undertakes the
fattening for consideration OF ten
cents a bushel, the firms furnishing all
the appliances.

to pay her share of the national ex-
penses. Another effect will be the Gre
alton OF q home market for Northern
manufactures and products such as the
south has never been before.
We are pleased to note that, as indi-
Gated by Southern journals and the be-
navlor OF Southern Representatives In
Congress, the South confronts it's pres
emit opportunity with an attitude OF self
reliance, fortitnde and equanimity that
Is equally surprising and commendable.
She has not q word to say of all the
wrongs and misrepresentation from
which she has 30 long suffered. She
chooses to forget her injuries and look
cheerfully toward the future. Senator
Ransom well expressed the Southern
feeling when he said recently in the
Senate: "What the South wants is re-
yival Of trade, and not revival Of
hatred"

Accidents to the .Thunderer.

The terrible accident that occurred on
board the British iron-clad Thunderer
In the bursting OF 2e-ton gun while at
practice on Thursday last Is not the first
calamity that has befallen this power
full vessel. By this last disaster one of
the turrets was destroyed. ten men were
killed, and thirty odd wounded. The
Thunderer Is one of four heavy turret
ships which the English government
has built Of late years. Each carries
two turrets, in which are pair Of guns,
consequently the whole armament is
but four cannon. The Thunderer car
ried pair OF aston guns in one turret
and a pair Of acton guns In the other,
firing a 700-pound shot or shell. In
one OF these turrets the guns were
worked by hand, in the other by hy-
draulic machinery. The other ships

gums In one turret, and a pair of
25-ton guns In the other: the Dread
naught, which Is armed with four 49,
ton guns that fire 600 pound projectiles
and the Infexible, which is to receive
on board the four 38-ton guns now be-
ing finished at Woolwich. Tie Thur
derer was 80 named after gun ship
in Lord Howe's feet in the fighteof June |
l. 1894, and which was also one of Mel
sons fleet at Trafalgar. She was
launched In 1872, but did not start upon
her trial trip until in July, 1876. On
the fourth OF that month, while steam
ing In Stokes bay, one of her boilers |
exploded, instantly killing fifteen per-
sons and iDjuring many others. TEere |
were 500 men on board at the time. of |
whom thirty were in the stoke-hold at |
work at the furnaces. All were either |
killed or fatally injured; and between
ffty or sixty others were shockingty
,calded. The naval captain who had
been assigned to her command by the
Admiralty had one OF his fingers blown
2ff and his arm paralyzed by the shock.

The fiocks are gathered In the fold
The dusky air is soft ne balm,
The daisies hide their hearts Of gold.
Slow, drowsy swinging bells are heard
In pastures dewy, dark and dim.
And in the door-yard trees bird
Trills sleepily his evening hymn.
The dark. blue deeps are full OF stars:
One lone lam p In the hillside glooms,
A mile away, is red as Mars;
The night is sweet with faint perfumes,
At bedtime In the quiet house.
