The father Of Richard J. Cleveland was the
brother of President Cleveland's great grand
| father. In 1856, when sixteen years of age, he
| WAS seized by a press gang on the streets OF
Bostos, aud served for several years on board
| of a British man-of-wsr. He was rapidly
| promoted and became captain of the top, and
then midshipmsn. acquiring such q kuo~l-
| edge of all the details OF sesmanship that
when he received his discharge and entered
| the American merchant marine, he soon he.
came famous as the designer and builder OF
| the swift vessels that afterwards played a
prominent part in the war of the Revolution.
| Thirty-fve days after the Declaration OF
Independence he was commissioned by the
Continental Congress 10 visit France in the
brig Dispatch, and procure arms and ammu-
milton, paying for them with tsh aud potash,
as we had no money. he was the trst to
| show our flag In a European port
When the war was over our privateers
were turned loose on the ocean as merchant
| men, and being too large for the short coast
| ing ventures, to which our commerce had
| been restricted in colonial days, the Salem
| fleet (tor most of them hailed from that
| town. soon became famous for their long
| ana rapid voyages TO every known and uu
known quarter of the globe. This foreign
commerce, so wonderfully successful, wa.
no doubt the secret of the Intellectual vigol
of New England and the proyerbial sharp
ness of the Yankee. The crews of Salem
ships were men of intelligence and am bition
and it was the custom in those days to allow
| every man a little space in the hold for the

Filling Teeth.

According to a. correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, William
Herbst, a dentist of Bremen, has come
to New York, by invitation, to show
his rotary method of filling teeth,
which he does without remuneration
in any form. The rotary method is
not new, but no one except Herbst
has ever succeeded with it. His only
instruments are q smooth headed
hand instrument and q small, round
agate point, to be used in the foot
drill. He first lays the foundation for
the filling, and then puts in the GOLD,
pressing it down with the hand IN
strument, and turning his hand as he
presses to give it the effect of the rotary
motion. When be has put in a layer
in this manner, he puts the agate on
it, and, with the instrument rapidly
revolving in the machine he Furnishes
it down until it adheres to the other
foundation. This method has in it
three points of advance. 1t is quicker
by four fftbs than the mallet process,
it is entirely painless, and it puts in a
filling harder thanit can be made with
the old method. It will, no doubt,
become the popular method after the
American dentists have had time to
learn it. Besides this, Herbst shows
dentists how to make for 25 cents a
diamond pointed drill which ordinarily
costs from SIS to So.

the attention of the foe. For this pur-
poss Stuart ordered q man to be de-
tailed to stand by each mule and
whack him with stick as soon as he
offered to bray; for mule like an
orator, requires a certain preparation
before beginning his neat and appro-
pirate vocal exercises There is q
preliminary protest made with the
ears, anc certain solemnities of the
nostrils, an expression of sorrow
overspreads the countenance, then
the TAIL is lifted. A bray does not
break forth from the lips of the mule.
1t begins way back in the abdominal
viscera and comes gradually up. Now,
as soon as the cavalry mules began to
prepare for bray, whack! whack !
would go the sticks, and the bray
would be suppressed-and thus all
night. II was said that this was need
less severity, for it would have SUI
feed to tie q brickbat to the tail of
each mule.

Valueless Russian Gunboats.

IOdessa Letter to the London Daily News.J
A further proof, if further proof
were wanting, of the wretched seago-
ing capacities of the circular Popoff
gunboats of the Russian navy was in
stanced here the other day. The
Nishni Novgorod started from Sebas-
topol to join one of her consorts in
the evolutions in the Odessa Roads.
She encountered what at the worst /
should term a. stiff half gale, with a
slightly choppy sea, g. few hours wealth
ering of which sufficed to bother and
damage her to such an extent that she
was towed back to port. Even for
harbor and coast defensethe unwieldy
form and virtually unmanageable
movements of this class of gunboat,
or floating battery, in any but the
smoothest waters, puts the POpofka
out of all serious calculation as an ef-
fective fighting arm of the Russian
navy. These vessels, designed by Ad-
miral Popoff and so much lauded a
few years ago, are now considered by
all competent naval authorities in
Russia to be practically valueless. ]
have seen it stated on former occa-
sions in the Russian press that they
were capable of attaining a speed OF
- knots, but as a matter OF fact un-
der the most favorable circumstances
the maximum speed of the Popofka
is from five to six knots only.

A National Charitable ORGANIZATION
Formed st Pfttsburg.
PlTTsBURG, Pa, July 31.-The re-
union of the chaplains of the United
States Sanitary and Christian Com
missions has resulted in the formation
of national charitable organization,
whose influence, it is expected, will ex-
tend all over the United States. For
the past two days the proposition to
establish such q society has been
under discussion. Yesterday the chap
lains met in the beautiful grove at
Valley Camp, and completed the final
arrangements, which were publicly an
nounced to-day. The organization
will include not only the Christian and
Sanitary Commissions, the Red and
White Cross Societies, but also all
benevolent societies in the United
States. A committee will be APP
pointed whose duty it will be to super
wise generally the work of all the vari-
Gus societies. One of the delegates in
detailing the objects of the organiza-
ton, said:
Our working members will be ready at a
moments notice to go to any part OF the
United States should q pestllence DreaK
out. II, for instance, the yellow fever
should again rage in the South, hundreds
of our soldiers would at once be sent to the
field OF suffering. Our aim will be to minis
ter to the sick and suffering in every part
of our country. 1 consider the formation
OF such society one of the greatest tri.
umphs for humanity and civilization. The
brotherhood Of man is our motto and DO
unto others as you would have Others do
unto you" is our watchword.
The committee having the matter in
charge consists Of Rev. John 0. Eos
ter, Mrs. Annie Wittenmyer, Mrs.
Joseph D. Weeks, and President G.
Il. Stewart. The plan also embraces
missionary work in the far West, and
one of the objects of the society will
be to send religious and secular read
ing matter to all parts of the coun-
ty,U

A Tramp Baffied by a Dog.
from the New York JournaJ,

[From the New York Journal.l
A tall and ragged tramp called at
the residence of Wesley Gould, at
Plumsock, N. j., and knocked for adj
mittance. Mrs. Gould, who is a brave
and strong woman, was alone in the
house. But she opened the door and
he stepped inside and demanded food.
She struck him a blow which landed
him on the stoop. She shut the
door and then he kicked in one OF
the panels. Mrs. Gould seized g. kettle
of hot water and scalded the fellow so
that he ran away bowling, cursing and
threatening vengeance.
He shambled through the village to
the house of Whalen Green, who was
at work IN the field. Mrs. Green, who
is q delicate woman, was frightened
when the tramp walked into the house.
He locked the door. She told him to
open it. He walked toward her and
made an insulting remark. She
screamed for help and the tramp
laughed. He seized her by the throat
and flung her on the floor. Her head
was injured by striking an iron weight.
Just as the tramp had choked her
almost senseless her large bulldog
sprang through an open window and
seized him by the calf of one leg. He
knocked the dog away. Mrs. Green
tainted just as the faithful dog got a
throat hold on the tramp.
When Mr.. Green came to the house
he saw the furniture broken, the dog
dead and Mrs. Green insensible. Mr.
Green seized his gun, called his neigh.
bors and they followed bloody trail
two miles to Lake Hoshipcong. Far
mers said they hads a tramp pass
lacerated and bleeding; his clothing
was in shreds and there was q bloody
handkerchief about his throat. There
was q terrible wound on his leg. His
trail was lost at the lake.
The faithful dog will be buried neal
the house and his grave will be
marked.

Facts About the Mule.

Maj. Randolph in the Baltimore Americana
1t is said that the mule cannot bray
if you tie weight to his tail and hold
it down. This WAS touchingly illus
trated in the cavalry movements that
proceed the second battle of Manassas.
Gen. Stuart, with a large force of caval-
ry maneuvering around the retreating
army OF Pope, got caught between two
columns of the Union troops, and was
obliged to conceal himself in dense
wood between two parallel roads along
which the enemy were retreating. He
had to lie low all night until the col
umns passed by. Messengers that the
Union generals sent to each other
through the woods were captured and
held with as little noise as possible.
One great difficulty was to keep the
mule in the ordnance and commissary
wagons from braying and thus calling

THE FISH QUESTION.
Canada Effectually Shutting Out Yankee
Fishermen.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 31.-During his
visit to the maritime provinces, Mr..
Foster, minister Of marine and fish
cries, spent his time mainly in g. per-
sonal investigation of the complex
fisheries question in the Bay Of Fun
dy. AS a result of the investigation
several measures will at once
be put into operation for the
more thorough enforcement Of
the law upon the border waters
of New Brunswick and Maine. The
people of the maritime provinces are
loud in their praises of the vigorous
and efficient policy of government.
Mackerel have been plenty, and with
little exception have kept close in
shore. The United States schooners
give the cruisers g. wide berth. The
purchase of bait and supplies has been
effectually stopped, and no trans
shipment of cargoes has been allowed.

The New York Crop Total Failure,
Caused by Storms.
The last ray of hope entertained by
the hop-growers throughout New York
state has vanished. During the night
of the Goth a heavy rain occurred.
The growers thought that this would
have a good effect, but, instead yards
which appeared green and healthy are
now black and utterly ruined. Many
growers destroyed their yards week
ago, and their example will now be fol-
lowed generally. Where it was thought
a quarter of the average yield would
be harvested, now it is believed that
not pound will be picked. The
growers are very much disheartened.
Their predicament is only equalled by
the destitute state of the hop pickers.
Good hops now bring 80 to SO cents,
against to 10 cents six weeks ago.
