THE audience at Yorktown was COM
posed largely of persons to the manor
born, and the applause ofthe populace
was given to the distinguished persons
whose faces were most familiar. Ar
thurs was little known, because his
pictures had not been fully circulated
in that part of the country. An OBJ
servant correspondent, probably Alex
ander Mcclure, notes that Blaine was,
as he always is, the cynosure of admir-
ing eyes; but the thoughtful cast of his
eountenance, his evident abstraction
and preocupation, seemed TO inspire
the throng with an instructive sentiment
of delicacy, whose expression was a
touching of the hat and deep reveren-
tial salutation as the great minister Of
state passed along, no longer lightly
and jauntily, with the buoyant step of
old. but with something of the delibera-
ton of age indicated in his suddenly
white hair and careworn face. Sher-
man, fussy and consequential, over
riding everyone, passed almost unrec-
ognized. He was the most incongru-
ously bedeeked figure on the grand
estrada. His gold, yellow and white
were specially attractive to the African
hosts. who couldn't be made to believe
that it wasn't Massa Grant Hancock,
passing from the pavilion to the canopy
of the president in the open space sur
rounding the cornerstone, was instant
" recognized, and for ten minutes there
was mingling of the stentorian lungs
of the north and the rebel yell of tie
south. The general. leading his little
grandson, blushed ike a girl, took OH
his hat, and passed on with bowed
head"

A LOST STEAMER.
= Boat by the Name of Jennie Gil

a Boat by the Name of Jennie Gil
christ, Wrecked at Rock Island iii.
Ever since the high water has rem
dered the running of trains between
Rock Island and Cordovas impossible,
the steamer Jennie Gilchrist has been
employed to carry passengers and
freight between these points. AT 10 to-
night the Gilchrist left for up the river
with heavy load of freight and two
barges. When just above the govern
ment bridge the cam-rods of the en-
CINE gave way and the machinery
ceased to work, and the currents run
with amazing strength just there, and
the boat drifted, q helpless wreck,
straight for the bridge. The crew and
passengers were panic stricken and
unable to do anything. The boat
struck the bridge with tremendous
force and careened over, filling the hold
with water. The weights slid off the
safety-valve and the steam poured from
the boiler upon the helpless people.
The wreck sunk little and passed I'M
der the bridge, floating down past the
city front within few rods from tie
shore.
In the meantime the bridge signal
had sounded the alarm, which was re-
echoed by the city fre-bells and
large and anxious crowd had gathered
by the river. The scene there beggar-
ed description. The wreck came float
ing past and the air was filed with the
shrieks and groans of the scalded and
drowning, while the sympathizing peo-
pie on shore were totally unable to
render any assistance, for nearly all
the skifis and row boats have been
placed in winter quarters. Strong men
in the crowd wept in agony at the
thought of the suffering wretches in the
stream. A little later, however, the
steamer Evansville and the ferry boat
were manned and started out to rescue
the survivors, while one row boat was
finally procured and started on the
same mission. These worked for hours
and have succeeded in rescuing nine of
the unfortunate ones.
The boat was owned by H. M. Gill
christ of Rapids City, and commanded
by Pat Mantz. There were on board
twenty-three pers ons, comprising the
passengers and crew, seventeen ofwhom
are reported lost

break him down, consulted sherman,
who told him to go home on leave
without being mustered on his commits
sion, and if he could recruit the regi-
ment, all right; if not, he could return
to his old command. He acted on the
sdvice. and probably to his own aston
ishment succeeded in filling the regi-
ment. Sherman had promised him
command of brigade if he came back
as a colonel, but the powers that were
sent his regiment TO Missouri in spite
of his earnest enweaties to be sent to
Grant.
But in time the fortunes Of war car
ried his regiment into the army of the
Tennessee, where he again became as
sociated with his former commander
and friends. Naturally, as they knew
his soldierly qualities, he was soon in
command of brigade. Sometime
after this he filed protest with the
governor of his state against some ac-
ton affecting his regiment. The letter
seemed to rile Gov. Morton, who at
once wrote him that he was chro vic
grumbler: that ne had reluctantly 81 en-
him his commission, and that he would
be given certain number Of days in
which to resign. This made the young
colonel hot, and the way he used strong
words in reply is said to have been ir-
ritating to that degree that the COVER
nor asked of Lincoln his dismissal from
the service. But Just at that time he
was an efficient brigade commander,
and Grant, Sherman and MCPHERSON,
insisted that he be retained. The clm-
paign against Vicksburg finally sue
ceeded, and the president informed
Gen. Grant that he could have the NOM
ination of FIVE brigadiers. Col. Gresham
was named as one of the five, and was
promptly confirmed. AT once he was
placed in command of Il division, and
proved a success from that time to the
end of the war, and would have been
promoted to major general had there
been vacancy.
His political history, in an active
way, since the war, vas confined to a
race for congress in district with three
thousand democratic majority. Presi-
dent Grant offered him the collector
ship of New Orleans, but the odor of
Louisiana politics was not suited to his
taste, and he declined. When a va
cancy occurred in the judgeship of this
district, he was appointed. to it. 1t can
be said of him that he had so deported
himself all his life that every honest
lnan in the state is his friend, and
though he has been out of active poll
tics, | think he has greater personal
popularity than any man in Indiana.

The fungus growth, or rather disease
found on many fishes, but notably the
salmon species, is said to be mostly
caused by wounds or abrasures of the
skin, which arise from accidental inju-
ries or from the attacks of their natural
enemies. In this connection we would
ask whether any of our readers have
ever seen fungus growth on sunfsh.
We never did, although we have met
with hundreds of sunfish that we're mu-
tilated by bass, who seem to delight in
taking choice morsel out of the back
of the sunny" and then leaving him
to get out of tie scrape the best way he
can. Our black bass is remorseless
villain, and bites others con amore, for
we have known him to corner a sunfsh
among the rocks and snap a fieshy tit
bit out of it so demurely that it seemed
as if he was only INDUCING in passing
whim. -ADaeriea1 Angler.

The question q Vbotftr or not a
man in Boston possesses the flag of the
pirate Alabama is now exciting some
attention in the east. The Boston party
says the flag is the only genuine one,
and that he would not take $4,000 for
it, while an ex-officer of the pirate ship
asserts with equal positiveness that the
resident of the Hub has either been
imposed upon or is trying to deceive
people. He says that the flag of the
Alabama went to the bottom of the
ocean with the vessel, and it is to be
hoped that his statement is true.
