Loss of the U. S. S. Ashuelot.

New York February 2i A dispatch from
Hougkong, dated the DIST, says the United States
steamer Ashuelot is lost. All of the officers were
saved eleven of the crew drowned. The Ashue-
lot was an iron ~side-wheel paddle vessel, carried
six guns and of 7GS tons burden.
No Information of the loss of the United States
steamship Ashuelot has been received at the
Navy Department at Washington. The report,
however. was not all discredited, as the vessel
was not considered very seaworthy in fact, she
was the laughing stock among naval officers.
She was a paddle-wheel, thin plated iron ship,
1870 tons displacement. and was what was known
as n double-ender. She was built in 1868 for
the purpose of river navigation during the war,
and was used in blockade service.
The officers Of the United States steamer Ash
ueIot are rs follows Commander, Horace E..
Mullen Lieutenants, Ambrose Il. WyckOff and
Henry T. Stockton; Master, Frank :. Hotchkln;
Ensign, James II. Oliver Paymaster, E. n.

Sundry men, gifted with tenacious
verbal memory, have performed won
dcrful feats. Learned Rabbis have
been known to repeat the whole Of tho
Hebrew Scriptures, word for word. A
French Marquis made handbook Of
France from recollection, in which he
described every chateau in the king
dom. Cardinal Mexzofanti. the wonder
among mere linguists, could remember
entire dictionaries and grammars.
A Roman priest used 10 amuse his
friends hv an extraordinary feat OF
memory. Allowing them to designate
any line Of an Italian poet. he would
begin with il and recite 100 lines, back
warl or forward, according TO the
Nish of his listeners.
A Scottish clergyman, it is said,
could repeat every word of the Scrip
tarcs Of the Old and New Testament
quoted in the writings Of the Greek and
Latin Fathers. His friends used to say
that, II every copy of the Bible in the
world was DESTROYED. he would be able
to reproduce the entire Scriptures from
his memory.
Prescott, the historian, tells an anec-
dote of how Macaulay was caught
tripping. ,ne day, in line of Paradise
Lost In q few DAYS he came back
with the poem in his hand, saying, ~
he offered it to the gentleman who had
caught him, Il do not think that you
will catch me in the Paradise again.
and they did not.
The late DIR. Addison Alexander, Of
Princeton Theological Seminary, had .
wonderful memory. It was not only
tenacious of words and facts, but, a.
often as he willed it, would summon
into his mind all Of his past experiences
and knowledge.
For the amusement of the young
folks, he would sometimes say, @Now
am going to talk without thinking.
Then he would pour out period after
period of strange words and incon
grnous images, harmonious and ever
| rhythmical in sound, but wholly desti
tnte Of sense.

let him try to suspend his reason AM
give free rein to his fancy in period

made an exercise in the mere verba

THE MAID AND THE MOUSE.
There was maiden had cat,

There was maiden had cat,
She rather dotted on tho beast,
But said her love would be Increased
II she could only teach 1t that
Twas cruel. when for game II bid,
TO torture mice the way IL did
The cat and maid together sat
One day In purring tete-a-tete,
When In there walked q mouse, and great
The shrek the maiden gave thereat,
And ere her demon yawp did cease
She tiuttered to the mantel- piece.
The mouse, at sound Of maiden howl,
Sustained n nervous shock and lit
Into paralytic fit.
Grimalkin fired or yowl,
And, too perturbed to think Of play,
Did smite the mouses life away.
With dying breath the stricken mite
Exclnimed: u thank thee, agile puss;
This being scared to death II 'wuss'
Than being killed with sudden smite;
I'd rather thus, in trice be slain
Than hear that woman yell againl'
Oh, maiden on the mantel shelf
While palpitates thy heart, reflect,
Didst ever, ever yet suspect
How much more frightened than thysel1
This geologic dot should be
That drives thee thus to lunacyf
