FCx x-rIr1

We were nearing st. Thomas; all the
passengers were on deck, looking with iu-
terest at the pretty little city, with the hills
at its back and fringe of palm-trees at its
feet. When within a short distance of the
shore, the Captain signaled, down plunged
the anchor, and before the water had ceased
from troubling we were surrounded by a
fleet. First came the fine long boat of the
health-oflicer, with it's gaudily- striped avn
ing flag flying at the stern, and halfa-dozen
dusky oarsmen, who rowed with great style
and precision. Then there were the passen-
ger-boats the stern seats neatly cushioned,
to which fact the owner called your attention
while inviting your patronage. One of these
men rejoiced in the possession of tall hat,
which raised him far above his fellows, while
he was further distinguished by the name,
champagne Charlie" But harkl bark!
the dogs do bark-the rag-tag and bobtail
are putting out TO sea! Boys, boys, boys,
and boys-all ready and eager for dive!
Some one started the exhibition by throw
ing dime overheard. Instantly there were
a dozen pair of heels in the air-one splash,
and train of shining bubbles rising to the
surface showed rs that the little divers were
on their way down in search of fortune
The water was so clear we could see the
coin slowly sinking, and see the little brown
body dart after it and seize it. On coming
to the surface, the one who made the capture
would display the coin in his hand, and then
shrewdly pop it into his mouth. The cheeks
of the lucky boys were round and hard as
apples. 1t was so pretty TO see the ease and
grace with which they moved through the
water; and they entreated for more so pleas
antly, with eyes glistening and teeth shining,
that the rain of silver and copper continued
to fall over the rail until the ships stock of
small change was depleted.

A Monkeys PoIfteness.

u was amused at an act OF politeness /
once witnessed on the part of monkey
that had very peculiar effect on my dog"
said Stephen L. Warner. Zone day an
Italian organ-grinder accompanied by a
trained monkey, wandered into our town,
and the man stopped before my house to
play. The monkey was an intelligent little
fellow, and was attircd in jacket and cap.
While his master was grinding out the
music the monkey hoped down from the
organ, where he had been sitting, and,
jumping the fence, came up into my yard.
He was at once spied by a fox terrier of
mine, and the dog made rush at him.
The monkey awaited the onset with such
undisturbed tranquility that the dog halted
within few feet Of him to reconnoiter.
Both animals took long, steady stare at
each other, when suddenly the monkey
raised his paw and gracefully sauted his
enemy by raising his hat. the effect was
magical The dogs head and tail dropped,
and he sneaked off into the house, and
would not leave it until satisfied that his
polite but mysterious guest had departed"

In front and on their fanks all were
Confederates, and there were brigades Of
them. Here they met choice brigade,
that led the onset of Longstreet's famous
charge that drove several divisions of
our army before it was finally checked
on Henry House Hill by Reynolds,
Reno, and Sykes's Regulars, who were
the bulwark of the army on many
field, but seldom got the credit they de-
served. The Regulars, the 9th and 10th
N. Y, as well as Butterfield's troops, be-
longed to the Fifth Corps, Gen. Fitz-
John Porter, who had saved the Army
of the Potomac by his skill and obstin-
acy in fighting at Gaines's Mill, where
these same troops also fought, and also at
Malvern Hill. His military sagacity
had saved his corps from useless slaugh-
ter, and perhaps annihilation, on the
afternoon of the 29th, only to be ordered
forward the next day, without support,
to be slaughtered, while the efforts of
the innocent victims were treated by
those responsible with slight and dispar-
agement. If Gen. Porter committed
fault on the 29th, who was responsible
for the disaster of the 30th, when small
force was ordered to attack an enemy
supposed to be retreating, while an inn
mense reserve was held back in the rear
at safe distance? In letter to the
writer from Gen. Warren some years
ago, he says: "The Fifth Corps were
sent up to be butchered, while the rest of
the army looked on as mere spectators"
