THE LUCY w. DYER.
She Pops Into Pert After Being Given Up
for Lost and After Many Difficulties.

Some time ago it was announced that fears
were entertained for the safety of the fish,
ing schooner Lucy ". Dyer. but yesterday
she sailed into this port. and Captain Jack
man, of Gloucester, her captain and one of
the most successful of the fishing shippers
of New England. when he was seen in be-
half OF the PRESS, said that while he had
hardly had his ordinary good luck. his
schooner was all right, and he was much
pleased with her.
He lost his August fishing largely because
he lost his seine boat under rather remark
able circumstances. 1t was towed after the
schooner, and the pla nks ripped right out
of it, while going through the water. 1t
went altogether and nothing first" and
was evidently a very old boat that had been
used too long. Even the nails pulled out.
and some of the pianks were brought home
by Captain Jackman to show in what a CON-
dition it was. Of course the actual STATE of
the boat was not suspected before the
schooner sailed. Tut it proved bad thing
all around. Captain Jaokman was not the
man to give up, and so he got license to
buy a boat, and looked around for the
desired article, and at last found the very
thing, a perfect beauty. made upon honor.
S22U, but which Captain Jackman bought
for S100.
But August was gone, and no cargo. He
had his reputation to keep up and so went
to work, and took 200 barrels of prime
maokerel. Once more luck was against him.
and his mainsail was torn in pieces, and he
was forced to get into Liverpool. N. S., un-
der foresail and iib. The sail he lost was
cve years old, and like his seine boat was
mpletely played out. 1t was hard luck
losing it when he did. but he WAS fort unate
in securing a new sail.
A sohoonerswas wrecked near liverpool
last summer, and her new3mainesail was
saved, and as..for.sale. 1t cost $l70 aid
was entirely new. Captain Jackman
bought it for $75, and once more turned the
present detention and loss to ultimate ad-
vantage. The schooner is now in the best
possible condition.

A COLD PROMENADE.
Mysterious Man VINO Went Abroad in the
Snow Storm Clad Only In a Blue Under
shirt.

About one o'clock Sunday morning the
few people who were abroad in the vicinity
of Union and Middle streets were astounded
at the appearance of man whose only
article of raiment was blue undershirt,
and who made his way rapidly but furtiyely
up Union street and down Middle street.
The snow was falling then, and the lightly
clad man. whose feet were as bare as all
other parts of the body, not reached by the
blue undershirt, must have found his prome-
made unpleasant. Officer. Firth, who was on
that beat. was notified and started after the
man. He failed to find him. however. So
the mystery is unsolved.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

London, November 25.-The Port Ar
thur correspondent of the Central News
sends this despatch: Marshal Oyama has
approached Port Arth ur steadily for two
weeks with his army in two divisions.
Progress has been slow and difficult, as
the roads, where there were any, were
poor, andsth eEartillery could be brought
forward only after the pioneers prepared
the way. The villages were almost
empty of supplies, many being plundered
gan November 18th, and everylfort had
heavy artillery, which vas used with
effect. The large Krupp guns at sHokin-
son were apparently served. by Skilled
artillerymen, and were especially de-
structive. The evening OF the 2lst, the
Chinese held eight or nine redou BITS on
the..coast and had sstwenty guns in work
ing. order. The Japanese biyouacked on
the hills, and early in the laorning ct
the 22d they beesan storming Ethe
reidoubts. They captured Fort Lacmu,
after sharp and short fight TheEother
positi were captured in quick suc-
cession, without heavy loss, TO thess jap
anese. Eighty guns and an enormous
quantity of rice were taken. 1t was
wholly landsfght. The course of events
waY signalled to the Japanese feet off
the coast"
From Toxic the Central News hears
AdrniralsIto sent this report yesterday:
Port Arthur was taken the 22d by the
army alone. The ssunited @squadrons
merely attracted the attention of the
enemy's seaward batteries. Since yester-
day have been removing torpedoes from
the mouth of the port, the. dockyard and
the arsenal. The. ships in port were hand
ed over to the naval department., and the
backward and arsenal are in perfect
working order.
The Toxic correspondent remarks that
Admiral Ito neglected to specify more
closely the ships captured, but he denies
a report that it was a naval. battle. 1t is
believed. he says. that the ships in ques-
tion are the Chinese warships which took
refuge at Port Arthur, after the battle
at the mouth of the Yalu, and although
fully repaired did not ven ture out again.
Unofficial news is to the effect that Ad-
miral Ito did not take part in the attack
because the entrance to the port was
studded with torpedoes, and all the
usual landmarks for the guidance of
pilots removed.
A despatch boat left Ping Yang inlet
for Port Arthur to convey the Mikado's
congratulations to Marshal Oyama.

difficulties and advantages Of every
kind, and that in the still and mental
field Of war he stood the peer Of any
man beneath the flag.
In passions storm he stood nm

his brain there was no cloud and in
his heart no hate. lie longed to save
the South as well as the North. to see
the nation one and free. He lived
until the end was known He lived
until the Confederacy was dead: until
Lee surrendered, until Davis fled and
until the doors of Libby prison opened,
until the republic was supreme
HE lived until Lincoln and liberty
were united forever. He lived until
there remained for him nothing 10 do
so great as he had done. What he did
was worth living for. worth diving TO.
He lived until he stood in the midst
Of universal joy, beneath the ont.

most man in all the world And then
the horror came. Night fell Of noon.
The savior Of the republic. the break

Lincoln is the strongest tie that binds
all hearts together now and holds all
