A Torpedo Launch.

There are many interesting phases OF
life at Newport (writes correspond
ent) upon which one may hope to find
time to touch, but the diversified "hap-
pening things" of this week rightly
claim present attention. Monday dawn
ing clear and bright after hot Sunday,
in the harbor, and promised most in
teresting exhibition in the afternoon at
the torpedo station, to which Captain
Selfridge Gan old Boston boy) had bid
den number of his friends, including,
besides large delegation from the
aforesaid yachts, Chief Justice Waite
and Mr.. Justice Blatchford, of the SUI
preme court, ex-Gov. Morgan, and a
number of others. After salute of
seventeen torpedoes had been success
fully fired, we had an opportunity OF
witnessing the most wonderful perform
ances of the torpedo launch invented by
Lieut.. Mclean, u, S. N, of which it
seems to me that far too little notice
has thus far been taken. Suppose we
wish to attack certain port, and the
entrance to its harbor is thickly sown
with the most deadly of modern fixed
torpedoes. Naturally we wish to destroy
those torpedoes, or at least break oil
the connections with them. Well, along
side a vessel mile away from the OBJ
jective point lies Misunderstanding lit
tie launch without soul on board; and
on the deck of said vessel stand two ma
val officers, one of them with his fingers
on the keys of just such little box as
the late Jim Fisk used to call the heads
of the departments of Che Erie railway.
"Go ahead" says the officer, looking
through his glass. His comrade de-
presses the index finger, and the launch
starts straight to its destination. "Star-

ger. "Starboard it ISL and, like a

and then there is one more command.

on Monday, on reduced scale. There
was no enemy to speak of. and every
body was so friendly that none could be
improvised, but do not See why this
wonderful launch should not do in real
war just as well as it did at Goat Island.
Where the necromancy comes in is the
handling of all the machinery by sim

Solacing A Tilted Lover.

Quite romance in real life was en-
acted few days ago, wherein a Dover
gentleman figured as the hero. This
young man according to the State Jour-
nal, has been paying attention to a
young miss in the lower part of the
state, which soon ripened into an en-
gagement of marriage. The day was
set, and the eager groom passed the in
tervening time in feverish expectancy.
Finally the long-looked for moment ar
rived, he donned his best bib-and-tuck-
err and HE'D himself to the residence of
his fair inamorata. His face was
wreathed in smiles as he boldly entered
the gate and raped at the door which
separated him from all that was dear to
him in life. The door openeda he enter
ed, inquired for his love, and what
was his establishment to find that she
had been married six weeks before to
another man. Filled with rage he rush
ed to the new home of the faithless
maiden and demanded an explanation.
After a season the young lady succeed
ed in quieting his passion, and in order
to ease him down as gently as possible,
permitted him to escort her to church
that evening, which he did. Feeling
that she had ruthlessly destroyed his
peace and happiness, she puzzled her
brain to find some way by which she
could make reparation, and finally took
off her ring and gave him rs souvenir
of the episode. The father, wishing to
do his part also, presented the young
man with pair of little goslins, but
which were too small to be removed
from the mother goose; so he left them
behind, and slowly and sadly wendell
his way back to Dover. swearing VEN
geance upon all womankind.

A Famous Relic.

Everybody knows under what circum-
stances Henry Nv. was assassinated by
Vavaillac. The assassin, passing his
arm through the window of the coach,
struck the monarch two blows with q
knife, the latter of which pierced his
heart. While still brandishing the knife
he was arrested by the orders of the
Due d'Epernon, the knife being wrench
ed from his hand by Pletro de Malaghi-
no, an Italian attached to his suite, who
afterward declared he had dropped the
weapon in the crowd. 1t would appear,
however, that Malaghino, who was a
great amateur of curiosities, kept his
historical relic until his death, when he
left it to his descendants. 1t is difficult
to say how it came into possession of
Maurice de SAKE afterwards; but GER
tain it is that q month before his
death the marshal made it a present
to his physician, Senac. Senac be-
Meilhan, who presented it to the Mar
quise de Crequi, at whose death it be-
came the property of the Baron dc
Blacheford, her cousin, when 1t was
againlos sight of for nearly sixty years,
until it turned up the other day in the
bureau of the commissary of police in
the Quarter Latin, being then owned by
q student whose father had been stew
ard to the Raimboval family. This stu
dent had been for some time in the
greatest poverty, and had been heard to
say that life was becoming burden to
him. The other morning he found him.
self absolutely penniless, prey to hal
lucination that the knife had brought
him i'll luck. Determined to put an
end to his existence, he plunged 1t into
his breast. Fortunately it was too rusty,
blunt and hacked about to do much
harm, and the unhappy youth only sue
ceeded in inficting a wound from the
effects of which he will be cured in a
fortnight. Ever since the story became
known the bureau of the commissary
has been visited by number OF collec-
tors, each of whom has been until now
under the impression that he was the
sole possessor of the actual knife with
which Henry Nv. was slain.-PhtladeI-

A New York policeman who dubbed
a pedestrian sixteen years ago was not
forgotten. The two met in Oregon the
other day, and this time the tables were
turned and the policeman was left for
dead.

ROCKLAND.

The cheese factory located here by Mr.
Halron is drawing its share of the public
patronage. It is under the management

ions of the late school law, and after a
long and spirited discussion which lasted
the greater part of the night, finally de-
cided that five months school 0hree win
ter and two summer) for the ensuing
year, would be sufficient time to spend
in developing the ffotle minds of the
rising youths. That is. if the services of
a competent teacher can be secured.
Miss Georgie Knapp died at the resi-
denee of her parents, in this town, at Z
o'clock P. NJ, June 18th. The deceased
was an intelligent, estimable young lady
of about eighteen years; beloved by all
who came within the circle of her &C
quaintance. Just entering the stage of
life when hopes are growing brightest,
she contracted disease which preyed
upon Ter for four long months, when her
tender body succumbed to the dread de-
stroyer-Death,- and then her spirit de-
parted from its habitation of clay and
donned the robes of Immortality. Al
though her friends knew that the dread
consumer was doing well it's work, and
that the time was not distant when earth.
ly strife must terminate, it did not de-
crease the sorrow of the afflicted parents,
brothers and sisters. They have the
sympathy of the entire community.
Gone from her sphere of duty,
From friends that loved in vain,
A spirit of angel beauty,
Shall meet with angels far.
She lies within the silent tomb:
We little thought she was so doomed,
A few short years her days are fled,
And she counts one amongst the dead.

FORTY convicts at the state prison at
Waupun struck for better food on Satur-
day. They were stuck into a cell and got
nothing to eat or drink until Sunday
evening when all agreed to go to work
except four. That argument was of
course convincing; work on poor food is
better than idleness without anything.
But it strikes us that it was hardly hu
name. Those convicts are human and
should receive some kind of decent treat
ment. 1t was rather poor way to an
swer their complaints.

the mere announcement of her coming
