The famous Stevens Battery, which was be-

plotting it to his brother and 81 500, 900 for the
work. The brother died in due time, lea wing
the battery to the state of New Jersey. All but
800 600 Of the appropriation has been expend-
ed and it is said $500, 900 is needed to complete
the battery. No work has been done on it for
some time. The heirs of the Stevens applied
to the chancellor of New Jersey for and received
an order directing the sale and removal of the
vessel, in order that they might make use Of
the land occupied by it. Opinions differ as to
the usefulness of the battery in case of war.
Applications for its purchase have been made
by foreign powers, but always at times when
our government could not permit it's sale. that
is, when the would-be purchaser was at war
with state with which the United States was
at peace. The purchase and completion of the
battery by the United States have been argued,
but congress has made no provision to that end.

Fraaklin's men to the next world. They were
murdered by the contractor who supplied the

contractor who supplied the Sir James Ross ex-

labelled beef and mutton contained nothing but
offal. Some of the tins wher opened contained

were there, and when they ate them, having
nothing else, they had to hold their noses, SO
offensive was the stencil. If Sir James Ross

would have starved. I have REPEATEDLY, in my

LO the Poor Freedman ?

rather the mismanagement, of that defunct
concern. 1t is understood that the COM

of the deaths of some of the persons re-
sponsible for the banks bad management,
and the p,esent impecuniosity of the re-
mainder, nothing can now be done for the
further relief of the depositors except to
consummate the proposed purchase OF the
Freedmen's bank building" in Washing
ton by the United States government. A
bill for this purpose has once been passed
by the Senate. The price asked is $780,
600. The bank building is now rented for
the department of justice and the court OF
claims
