But, unfortunately, shot and shell, the rife and revolver, boarding pike and cutlass, were not the only dangers our sailors had to en- counter. More than these, more than the battery, masked behind the river's bank or bluff, were the dangers to be apprehended from submarine batteries, the lurking tor pedo, the explosion of which under the ves- sells keel would send it's crew to eternity in an instant. Hardly less sudden and disas- trous might be the result of the tremendous thrust and shock of the iron ram, when launched against the wooden and vulnerable side of the vessel of war. Fire-rafts were used to endanger and annoy; false lights were SO placed as to mlslead the true lights, the beacons and buoys were removed ob- stacles to navigation were sunk in tortuous channels; every means and artifice known to naval warfare, and some before unknown, were employed against the Union navy.
 Let me now say word or two with regard to our own naval heroes; I mean those who claimed our own State for their home, and went therefrom to serve the general govern ment It ought not to be overlooked that Connecticut possessed navy of it's own dur ing the war of the revolution, and that her feet included frigates, ships, brigs and sum- dry smaller craft. The exploits of the Oliver Cromwell alone were of sufficient magnitude to shed lmperishable lustre upon the Connec- ticut navy, These vessels were oficered, manned, armed, equipped and paid by this State. In the war of 1872 it is said the United States navy and armed privateers captured 1907 vessels, 3,O83 guns and 11,797 prison ers Out of this immense aggregate it is inn possible to tell what proportion of the work of capture should be credited to this State. But we may be sure that Connecticut sailors were found on every ship of war that partici- pated in that grandly successful conflict The young and brilliant MeDonough would not have made his home among us, on the bank of our beautiful river, had he not found here people with feelings habits and surround ings to his liking. But no monument, suited to his merits commemorates the hero of Lake Champlain. Nothing less durable and descriptive than bronze should be set up in memory of this eminent but short-liyed com modore, dear to us and to every patriot in the Union. (Applause)
 But Connecticut has been even more ne- giectful of its latter naval warriors. What has she done to perpetuate the memory of Ward and Foote? (Appleuse.) Both were natives of this State, descended from early Puritan ancestors; the one born in Hartford, the other in New Haven; both sacrificing

The well known play "Across the Conti- nent," in which the talented young actor Oliver Doud Byron has made both fame and money, will be presented at the New Haven Opera House this evening. The play is an old one, but has been entirely reconstructed, and cannot fail to draw large audience. It may interest our readers to learn that this drama, although of sensational character, is no fiction but true tale, 8 part of which oc- cured in New York on the night of the great fire, 1857, when one of our young merchants, after champagne supper, wended his way in the vicinity of the s.Old Five Points, } where he found poor woman dying in the snow.

A Stone. Rabv.

Mr.. W. G. Renfrew, of Russellville,
Ark, the proprietor of the Indian
stone baby, has been stopping for the
past week in Washington City, having
brought his baby with him, with
which to puzzle the scientists of Wash
ington. This stone baby was dug up
by some laboring men near the Eure-
ka Springs, in October. 1880. 1t was
feur feet below tho surface of the
ground. and when discovered was en-
veloped in composition of blue clay,
calcerous mari and free lime, q portion
Of which has not yet been removed
from the image. 1t is 26 inches
in length, and weighs eighty five lbs.
The body is of very hard blue lime
stone, and is so nicely cut as not to
show marks of the instrument used.
The learned men of the Smithsonian,
have examined it, and are puzzled,
never having seen anything like ii
before. Mr.. Renfrew left Tuesday
for Philadelphia, to lay it before the
Academy Of Science there. 1t appears
to have been made by q people higher
in the scale of civilization than the
North American Indians.

Recovering n Set Swallowed
Twelve Years Before.

A most remarkable story comes
from Middlet0wn, Orange County, N.
Y. A maiden lady at that place, on
the 9Th of January. 1869, swallowed a
new set OF false teeth, which became
separated from the rubber mold in
which they had been set, while masti-
eating her food. Before she could
eject the food from her mouth her
teeth had gone down into her stomach.
The family physician was summoned,
but all his efforts were unavallipg.
The teeth caused her no discomfort,
and in . short time the matter was
entirely forgotten. A few days ago
the lady in question felt sharp pang
near the left shoulder, and upon ex-
amining the spot found what appeared
like wen under the skin. With the
aid of penknifs she extracted hard
substance, which proved to be tooth.
At loss to know how the tooth came
to be in such an unusual spot, she
suddenly recollected that she had,
twelve years ago, swallowed her set
of teeth. During the past four days
the lady has been cutting teeth all
over her body, and had, at last &C
counts, recovered twelve of the four.
teen teeth that had formerly constitu-
ted her full set. She is anxieusly
awaiting the other TIVE. She has
placed the teeth in glass case and
will keep them as q memento.

The dimensions of the new Cunarder,
the Servia, which was launched on the
Clyde, recently are: Length, $50 feet ;
breadth. so feet; depth. A feet 9
inches; gross tonnage. $500 tons. A
better idea of the huge size of the vessel
will be gained by the following facts !:
Her cargo capacity will be equal to g.
500 tons, with 1900 tons Of coal and
1000 tons of water ballast, the vessel
having double bottom on the longitu-
dinal bracket system. The anchor
davits are inches, and the chain-cable
pipe 90 inches in diameter. The pro-
peller, boss, and blades. which are made
of Vickers steel, are 50 tons in weight.
The machinery consists of three cylind-
ers, compound surface-condensing en-
gines, one cylinder being ~ inches and
two 100 inches in diameter. with a
stroke piston of 6 feet 6 inches. 1t is
anticipated that the indicated horse
power will amount to 10000. There
are in all seven boilers. six of which are
double and one single-ended, and all
are made of steel, with corrugated fur
naces, the total number of the furnaces
being thirty nine. Practically the Ser

chain and strong lock and went into

wife, in which he told her what he felt

after his death, he ran the chain around

the end, and then wound the other end
around his ankle so tight that it would
not slip the foot. locked it securely and
threw the key far beyond his reach.
Two days after his dead body was
found chained to the tree, and there
was evidence that he had died of hydro

A correspondent at the Cape of Good
Hope writes that the true character of
the Dutch Boer is little understood by
the English in general. The Boer is of
a peaceful disposition, has great re-
spect for the law, is pious, hospitable,
neighborly, faithful husband, an af-
fectionate father, and only moderately
anti-English. The English only see
that he is not SO enterprising as he
might be, is content to live in primi-
tive house, smokes much cape tobacco,
drinks barley coffee, eats sheeptail fat
instead of butter (Which he can seldom
get) and is believed to be fond of his
money. which he is supposed to keep in
a leather stocking in his wagon-chest,
hidden under his bed.
