The siege of Galveston.

E. S. X. asks information as to Incl.
dents at the siege OF Galveston. /
Was there any vessel OF the Union feel
that escaped capture at the siege Of
Galveston? 2. Did the captain Of such
vessel refuse to cross the bar when
ordered to do so the night before? 8
Was the captain punished? If 30, In
what way? What was the captains
name? Also the name Of the vessel
and officers, engineers and crew, II you
can obtain them? Answer: Through
the courtesy of the chief clerk Of the
navy department at washington, d. O.,
we are enabled to give the following
facts: /, 1t appears from examination
OF the records at the navy department
that the Clifton, commanded by Lieu
tenant Commander R. L. Law; the
owasco, Lieutenant Commander Will
son; the Sachem, Acting Master John
son, and the Corypheus, Acting Mas
ter Spears, all escaped at the siege of
Galveston, and proceeded to New Or
leans. The Westfield was blown up,
In consequence of which the command
ing officer, Commander w. B. Rem
shaw, and the first lieutenant, Charles
w. Zimmerman; the chief engineer
W. r. Greene, and eight or ten men
lost their lives. The Westfield was
blown up to prevent her from falling
into the hands of the enemy; the ex-
ploston being premature, the loss Of
life was the consequence OF the acci-
dent. 2. There is no account Of any
commanding officer. refusing to take
his vessel across the bar when order
ed to do so the night before, and CONF
sequently no punishment administered
to any officer, as referred to in inquiry

capture of Galveston, Tex, on the LIST
of January, 1868, are elected by the
testimony before the Court of Inquiry.
See report Of secretary Of navy, 1853.
page 3l2. The naval force In posses
sion consisted of the Westfeld, Clifton,
Harriet Lane, owasco. Sachem and
Corypheus. 1t seems that the night
previous to the attack information
had been received by the commanding
officers Of both land and naval forces
that such an attempt might be made.
At 1880 a. m. on the LIST Of January, it
being bright moonlight, two or three
rebel steamers were discovered in the
bay above by the Clifton. The West
field, from the other channel likewise
made the same discovery. The naval
forces, therefore, were not taken by
surprise. After the death of Command
er Renshaw, Lieutenant Commander
Law being the commanding officer, he
proceeded to cross the bar with his
vessels and concluded to abandon the
blockade altogether, considering the
owasco as his only efficient vessel

Angelina.

Angelina is a little Italian girl who
attends school which she and her
friends call "a poor school," The
teacher is dear sweet lady, who is
very kind to the children under her
care. The room where she teaches is
so dark, SO overcrowded, that she SAYS
she cannot teach much, but she means
the children shall learn to be kind to
each other. That is a very good kind
Of learning. Angelina is very bright,
She makes you think OF bird, she is
so quick in her movements. She is in
school before the teacher every morn
ing in winter The moment the teach
er comes in the room Angelina raises
her hand and begins: Teacher, Tony.
or Maria, or Mary"-whoever It may
be-"touched the crayon, or knocked
JOhnny's hat on the floor" or some 9TH
er tale. All through the day Angelina's
hand is raised with some tale about the
other children. The other morning
when Angelina began, the teacher in
terrupted her ana said: 81 want YOU
to stop telling on the other children.
If you do anything wrong tell on your
self, but will not hear another word
from you about the Others" Angelina
looked surprised. About eleven O'Clock
Angelina raised her hand. The mo-
ment the teacher looked at her she
said: I've just been talking to vic
toria." And the teacher says she re-
NAMED in at recess without a murmur,
and never left her seat. She was hon
est and fair-minded, If she did tell tales.
Perhaps she never knew before that
tale-bearing was not pleasant for 9TH
unsolicited.

BY the last census it appears that
the population Of France is now 49,
22S,969, an increase in five years of
only 1888, and this mainly through
immigration. For several years past
the death rate has exceeded the birth
rate. These facts become still more
significant when a comparison is made
between France and her neighbors. In
Germany the increase of population
during the last 1--WE years has been
1851, 431, nearly 100000, as against
$4,000 in France. The contrast is still
more striking when these figures are
compared with those Of the past. At
the beginning Of the century France
outnumbered Prussia three to one. To-
day Prussia contains almost an equal
population, and as for the whole Of
Germany, there are FIVE Germans to
every four Frenchmen.

Reports in regard to winter wheat
are discouraging. The continuous rains,
followed by high water in the streams,
have flooded the low lands in many
portions of southern Illinois, so that
what wheat was not winter killed has
been utterly ruined by water. Reports
from nearly half Of the counties in the
state, including almost all OF the win
ter-wheat growing counties, are that
two-thirds Of the wheat seeded last fall
~, 749, 900 acres was winter killed or
destroyed by floods, and the condition
Of the remaining third-5S9, 900 acres
Is so poor that under the most favora-
BILE conditions only one-third of an av-
erage crop may be expected. The OUT
look is that little more than enough
wheat for seed will be harvested In
Illinois this season, and the people viii
have to depend on other states for
wheat for consumption, a condition
that has occurred but once In the agri.
cultural history Of the state.
