Captain Young, of the steamer, was
dissatisfied with his cook, and dis
charged him. He left with numerous
vows of what he would do. SO he went
to New Castle and found q baker that
was creditor for the amount Of nine
dollars. and told him the vessel would
run away, and persuaded him to libel
her. Being ignorant OF the customs of
the United States, he took what is called
a FOOLS advice, and Mal shaled;the steam
or. The captain, on account cf q minor
part of the steamers machinery break
ing, went up to New Castle, paid the
bill before the vessel WAS libeied, and SC
left Mr.. Vallette money to settle tn,

The Anglo.Rurmese War.


with the war vessel belonging to King
Theebaw, reported yesterday, the fire
from the British steamer Kathleen
caused ECO of the crew of the Burmese
vessel to jump overheard. The British
then boarded the vessel and proceeded
up the IrrawaGdy with her. 1t Is re-
ported that 5000 Burmese troops are
stockaded at Fort Kuligon, which oc-
cupies q high, dominating position
overhanging the river at Minhls.
The capture of the Burmese man of
war will prevent the Burmese from
placing further distractions in the river
or moving troops and guns by the river
route, and will disabuse the minds of
the natl yes of the idea that King Thee
baw is invincible.
The steamer Doowoon, recently sent
TO Mandalay to bring away the Europe
ans detained there by the Burmese
Government, has escaped from the
capital and reached the British lines.
When the authorities at Mandalay dis
covered the Doowoon moving out into
the river they opened heavy fire OH
her and sent force to board her. The
boarding party were repulsed by the
crew Of the Doowoon and, putting on a
full head of steam, the DoOwoon ran
the gauntlet and escaped with little
injury to the vessel and bearing off in
safety the party of Britishers. The
Italian Consul and the other Europeans
are still detained at Mandalay, not
having been able to get on board of the
Doowoon. The city was quiet ON the
11th instant, but at the Palace revolu.

The Staytonsville boys have been
very anxious to play with the Farm
ington boys game of base ball, and
it was finally arranged to play on
Saturday last. When we made our
appearance they objected to seven
of our players and refused to furnish
the ball. The umpire did not suit
them and, in fact, objected to every
thing; but finally they put their men
in position-nine able-bOdied men,
all of whom would weigh 40 lbs.
So long as the score was in their
favor, all progressed nicely; but it
changed, and they then objected to
the decisions and demanded new
umpire. We gave them opportunity
to get one but no person would serve
as they believed the man acting was
in the right. A man named Ratelitf,
who halls from Philadelphia. and
claims to have once played as a pro-
fessiOnaland two others of the Stay
tOnsvilleites made themselves partic-
ularly obnoxious to our players and
to the audience present. After fail
ing to get an umpire, they proposed
playing the remainder of the game
without any umpire; this Philadel-
phia player saying that they, the
Staytonsvilleite players, did not want
to play according to the rules. Who
ever heard of such n thing? A
match game of ball without an UNI
pire! We finally got our umpire to
act again, got in position and called
for batsman, none appearing, the
umpire declared the game forfeited
in favor of the Farmingtons. They
then got very wrathy, but we did
manage to get away with whole
skins.
We wish to extend our thanks to
the managers of the picnic for the
elegant repast that was set before
us, and also to invite the ball players
to come to Pennington. We guar
antee that they shall be treated as
gentlemen, not as dogs; that no bull
doing the umpire will he attempted;
that the d-m lie will not be handed
out, and that no invitations to fight
will be extended. We must say, for
the benefit of other clubs who are
of playing them, that our
has always been to find
them the most contentious, disagree
able set of men that ever went on a
ball field, who, if they cannot win,
threaten to use brute force to gain
their end, Hoping you will give
this space, we still remain

that they could work to more adyan-
tage after short season of pleasure.
But the time was not all spent in
idleness,fo -four meetings we're held and
q number of addresses made by men
who have the true interests Of the
farmer at heart. Foremost among
them were Mortimer Whitehead, of
New jersey. He is one who looks
upon the farmer as something more
than machine for raising wheat,
corn and fruit, even by the most APP
proved methods ,nottha Mr.. II. don't
approve of practical agriculture, as
lac is an industrious and successful
farmer, but he knows that it is no use
for q man to work if he is not to Sc
cure the reward of his toll. If cor
poration and monopOlies, corrupt pol
iticians and greedy Office-hOlders are
to say what share OF the proceeds of
his labor he is to have. This has
been too much the case in times
past, but under the tuition of such
men as Mr.. Whitehead, farmers are
learning to be their own leaders, they
arc getting tired Of platforms that
only last during the campaigns, and
of party promises that only hold till
after election. Party bonds are
weakening every day. and the time is
not far distant when the term "Mug-
wump" will be title of which men
will be proud,if it continues to mean
a man who has opinions of his own,
who is too honest to be bought, too
to be led, and too firm
in his principles to be driven. They
are the men who have the destiny of
our country in their hands, for their
vote will soon have the
balance Of power.

AFTER some discussion it has been
decided to bury Gen, Grant in River
side Park, New York, and a tempo
rary vault has been built to receive
the remains, about one hundred yards
from the spot on which it is pro-
posed to erect his monument. The
site is a high mound within full view
of the river for twenty miles. River
side Park is almost in a state of ma
ture and every future improvement
will be made subservient to the
grand central monument, beneath
which will rest the Nations hero.
1t is understood that New York
was selected as his place of burial in
Difference to the Generals own
wishes. The metropolis of the ma
ton was entitled to the honor, and
his grave will become shrine to
which will flock pilgrims from all

saved.

A letter from Miss Cleveland was
read at the Agricultural College
Convention the other day expressing
the hope that some attention would
be paid to silk-culture, which the wri-
ter took a deep interest in, because
she thought it promised to open a
new field of work to American
women. Miss Clevelands philan-
thropic spirit is certainly commend
able, but it is by no means clear that
silk culture holds out any trust
worthy prospect to American women.
Those who are concerned in this
business, doubtless believe that silk
culture can be made to succeed in
the United States, but there are some
Obvious reasons why the present eX-
periments are not likely to be sue
cessful. The culture of the silk
worm depends, in the first place,
upon an abundant supply of null
berry trees. The best kinds, such
as the Morus alba japonicG, or white
Japanese mulberry, require from
three to five years growth before
the leaves can be used as food for
silk-wOrms. In most places in the
United States it is necessary to raise
the trees from cuttings, before the
coeoonery can be established, and
that,as shown, is matter demanding
considerable time. In the second
place, the labor of tending and feed
ing the worm is ofthe most exacting
and exhausting kind. The worms
are most voracious. They must be
kept constantly supplied with fresh
leaves, and their trays must be
cleaned with the utmost care, and
very frequently. Now, it is neces-
sarily to the women of the rural
parts, in fact to farmers wives and
daughters, that all silk culturists
must appeal, and this class ofwomen
are already Overburdened with work,
and in no condition to take up new
toll which demands unremitting at
tention.-Ne,0 England Farmer.
