occasion for the rehearsal of the valor-

Cushing is purely a Herschoff product,
readapted to torpedo uses, while the
Ericsson is the result of careful study
by the naval department, and has been
built after the designs drawn by men
versed in that branch of naval con-
struction. So it will be seen that
there never has anything been COM
pleted in this country from which
comparison may be drawn, and it is
sufficient to demonstrate the Erics-
sons excellence by saying that Eng
land and France, with at least 800
each of these boats, have nothing
superior, and it is doubtfulif anything
they have produced will ever equal
this unique craft.
This boat is $50 feet in length and
1871 feet beam in the widest section.

The opera house was crowded. The

middle of the second act of the musical
extravaganza. and the audience, after
slight buzz of surprise and impa-
thence, sat waiting for it to rise again.
Something had happened
a hre had broken out in the prop
erty room
With the feeble means at their com.

vain to eXtinguish it.
The flames licked up the combustible
materials strewn carelessly about and
began to eat their way upward. Dense
volumes of smoke INSTRUCTED the eff

tenor stepped in front of the curtain.

lightning flash infinitely transcends
the swiftest processes of thought, leaps
instantly and unerringly to the solu-

1t Carried Bold Confederate Brigade
Completely Through the Union Army.
From nine in the morning till five in
the afternoon this charging and coun-
ter-charging in the woods went on.
Brigade after brigade was knocked to
pieces, fell back, reformed and went in
again. There was surprise every
Falf hour. The trees were not so thick
as to hinder the progress of the troops.
They were thick enough, however, to
conceal movements, until often the
columns marching in different direc-
tions came front to front or front to
flank within half a musket shot before
either discovered the other. Then vol
leys were delivered and received at
short range. Masses of troops fell to
fighting until one or the other gave
way. This happened when Stuart, of
the confederate side, marching to re-
lieve Cheatham, came plump upon two
brigades of Van Cleve's division of
union troops, and fought them muzzle

1t was in the COS and for some years
the towns around us had been keeping

With banners flying, and the beat of
drum and noise of fife resounding
through the streets as if it were gala

they marched away.
l remember it plainly, as if it were
but yesterday, seeing John stoop over
the baby in her arms, as if loath to
leave them, kiss the tiny face and hands

The work on this boat was COM

ing the first experience of the Iowa
iron works, whose managers have
worked in some particulars under a
great disadvantage. Added to this
came the strike at Homestead, from
whence much of the material in the
construction of the boat was re-.
ceived. A strike at home also delayed
the work, and for some months during
the past winter nothing whatever
was done, but the little craft is now
nearing completion. The finishing
touches are being put on both hull and
machinery, and it is expected that in
few days she will be ready to slide
into the Mississippi.
1t will take some days to prepare for
her trip to the sea, which promises to
be not only interesting to those navi-
eating her, but to the people along the
Mississippi river, this probably being
the only opportunity they will ever
have of seeing real torpedo boat. On
