THE OUTWARD VOYAQB.
"We have eighty-six passengers; one! such a
strange collection of beasts never was got to?
gether upon the sea since the days of the Ark.
I have never been in the saloon sijce the first
day; the noise, the smell and the closeness
being quite Intolerable. I have only been on
decs: once-and thep I was surprised and dis?
appointed at the smallness of toe panorama.
The sea, running as it does and has done, is
very stupendous, and vfewed from the air or
some great height, would be grand no doubt.
But seen irom ibe wet and roiling decks, in
this weather and these circumstances, it only
Impresses one giddily and ralnfully. I was
< very glad to turn away and come below
again.
"I have established myself, from the first,
In the ladled' cabin-you remember lt! I'll
describe Its other occupants, and our way ol
passing the time, to you.
"first, for the occupants. Kate and I, and
Ann-when she ls out or bed, which is not
often. A queer Utile Scotch boy, a Mrs. P-,
whose husband is a silversmiih lu New Tork.
He married her at Glasgow three years ago,
and bolted the day aller the wedding: being
(which be had not told her) heavily in debt.
Since then she has been living with her
mother; and she is now going out under the
protection of a male cousin, to give him a
year's trial. If she ls not comfortable at the
expiration ofthat time, she means to go back
to Scotland agalo. A Mrs. B-, about twenty
years old, whose husband is on board with
her. He ls ayoung Englishman domiciled in
New York, and by trade (as well as 1 can
make out) a woollen-druper. They have
been married a fortnight. A Mr. and Mrs.
C-, marvellously fond of each other, com?
plete the catalogue. Mrs. C-, I have settled,
ls a publican's daughter, and Mr. C-is running
away with ber, the lill, the time piece off the
bar mantel-shelf, the mother's gold watch
Irom the pocket at the bead of the bed, and
other miscellaneous properly. The women
are all pretty; unusually pretty; I never saw
such good faces together, anywhere.
Their "way of passing the time" will bi
found In the Notes much as lt was written to
me, except that there was one point connect?
ed with the card-playing which he feared might
overtax the credulity ol' hts readers, but which
he protest ed had occurred more lhau once :
"Apropos of rolling, I have forgotten to
v mention that In playing whist we are obliged
to put the tricks In our pockets, to keep them
irom disappearing altogether; and that five or
six times In the course of every rubber we an*
all flung from our seats, roll out at different
doors, and keep on rolling until we are picked
up by stewards. This hus become such a mat
**" ter of course that we go through lt with per?
fect gravity, and, wheu we are bolstered up on
our sofas ugaio, resume our conversation or
our game at the point where it was interrupt
ed.' The news t nat excited them from day to I
day, loo, of which lillie more than a hint ap- I
pears ia the Notes, is worth giving as origin-1
ally written :
.'As for news, we have more of that than I
you would think for. One man lost fourteen
pounds of vlugt-ua in ttie saloon yesterday, or
another got drunk before dinner was over, or
another was blinded with lobster-sauce split
over him by the ste wai d, or another had a fall
on deck and fainted. The chip's cook was
drunk yesterday morning, (having got at some I
salt-water-damaged whiskey) und the captain
ordered the boatswain to piay upon him with
the hose of the fire eugine until he roared f r
mercy-which he didn't get, tor he was sen?
tenced to look ont for four hours at a stretch
for four nighty running, without a great coat,
and to have his grog stopped. Four dozen
plates were broken at dinner. One Bte ward I
fell down the cabin stairs with a round of
beef, and injured his foot severely. Another I
steward fell down alter him and cut his eye I
open. The baker's taken 111; so ls the pastry?
cook. A new man, sick to death, han been
required to Hil the place of the latter officer,
and has been dragged out of bed and propped
up in a little house upon desk, between two I
casks, and ordered (the captain standing over I
bim) to make and roll out pie-cnist. which he
protests, with tears In his eye1, as lt is death
to him In his bilious slate to look ar. Twelve
dozen of bottled porter has got loose upon
deck, and (he bottles are roiling about dis?
tractedly overhead. Lord Mulgrave (a hand- I
some fellow, by-tbe-by, to look at, and noth?
ing but a good 'un to go) laid a wager with
twenty-five other men lost night, whose berths,
like his, are in the fore-cabin, which can only
bc got at by crossing the deck, that he womd I
?</ reach bis cabin flrat. Watches were set by
the captain's, and they sallied forth wrapped I
up in coats and storm caps. The sea brnke
over tbe ship so violently that they were five
and twenty minutes holding on by the band
rail at the starboard paddle-box, drenched lo
tba skin by every wave, and not daring to go
on or come back, lest they should be wash d
overboard. NewsA dozen murders in I
town wouldn't Interest us half as much." I
HIS ARRIVAL IN BOSTON.
He resumed his letter at Tremont House on
Saturday, the 28th of January, having reached
Boston that day week at five In the afternoon,
and, as his first American experience ls very
lightly glanced at in the Notes, a fuller picture
will perhaps be welcome : "As Ute Cunard
boats have a wharf of their own at Hie custom?
house, and that a narrow one. we were a long I
time (an hour at least) working in. I was
standing in full fig on the paddle-box be
side the captain, staring about me, when sud?
denly, long before we were moored to the
wharf, a dozen men came leaping on board at
the peril of their lives, with great bundles of
newspapers under their arms, worsted com?
forters (very much the worse for wear) round
their necks, and so forth. 'Aha !' says I, 'this
is like our London bridge;' believing, of I
course, that these visitors were newsooys.
But what do you tnlnk of their being
editors ? And what do you think of their tear?
ing violently up to me and beginning to shake
hands like madmen? Oh! If you could havel
men how J wrung their wrists? And if you
could but know how I hated one man In very
dirty gaiters, and with very protruding upper
teeth, who said to all comers after bim, 'So
you've been Introduced to our Irlend Dickens, I
eb? There was oue among them, though, who
really waa of use-a Dr. S., editor of tue_. J
j He ran off here (two miles, at least,) and or?
dered rooms and dinner. And In the course I
of time Kate, and I, and Lord Mulgrave (who
wan going back to his regiment at Montreal on
Monday, and had agreed to live with us in the
meanwhile)sat down in a spacious and hand?
some room to a very handsome dinner, bating
peculiarities of putting OD table, and had for?
gotten the ship entirely. A Mr. Alexander, to
whom I bad written from England promising
to sit for a portrait, was on board directly we
touched the land, and brought us here in his
carriage. Tuen, after sending a present of
most beautiful flowers, he left us to ourselves,
and we thanked him for it."
What further he had to say of that week's
experience fiodslis first public utterance here.
"How can I tell you." ne continues, "what
bas happened since that first day ? How can
I give you the faintest notion of my reception
here; of the crowds that pour in and out thc
whole day; of the people that line the streets
when I go out, of the cheering when I went
to the theatre; of the copies of verses,
letters of congratulation, welcomes of air I
kinds, balls, dinners, assemblies without end ?
There ls to be a public dinner tome herein
Boston, next Tuesday, and great dissatlefac- I
tlon has been given to the many by the high
price (three pounds sterling each,) of ihe j
tickets. There ls to be a ball next Monday
week at New York, and one hundred and fitly
names appear on the list of the committee.
There is io be a dinner in the same place, io
the same week, to which I have had an invita
Hon with every known name in America ap- j
pended to lt. But what can I tell you about
any of these things which will give you
the slightest notion of the enthusiastic
greeting thev give me, or the cry that runs
through the whole country ? I have had depu?
tations from Ihe Fur West, who have come
Irom more than two thousand miles distance;
irom the lakes, the rivers; the backwoods, the
log-houses, the cities, factories, villages and
towns. Authorities Irom nearly all the States
have written to me. I have heard from the
universities, Congress, Senate, and bodies,
public and private, of every sort; and kind.
'Ic is no nonsense, and no common feeling,'
wrote Dr. Channing to me yesterday. 'It Is
all heart. T?tere never was. and never will
be, such a triumph.' And It is a good thing,
ls lt not * * * to find those fancies] lt has
given me and you the greatest saiisfactlon to
think of at the core of it all? It makes my
heart quieter, and me a more retiring, sober,
tranquil man, to watch the effect of those
thoughts in all tl.!?? noise and hurry, even
than if I sal, pea in hana, to put them down
for the first time. I feel, in the best aspects
of tliis welcome, something of the presence
and influence of that spirit which directs my
life, and through a heavy sorrow has pointed
upward with unchanging finger for mere than
four years past. And If I know my heart, not
twenty times this praise would move me to
an act of folly."
FIRST IMPRESSION'S.
" 'Well,' I can fancy you saying, 'but about
hts impressions of Boston and the Americans?'
Ol the latter, I will say not a word until I have
seen more ot them, and have gone into the in?
terior. I only say, now, that we have never yet
been required to dine at a table d'hote; that,
thus far, our rooms are as much our own here
as they would be at the Clarendon; that but for
an odd phrase now and then-such as Snap of
cold weather: a tongue-y man for a talk?: ive
fellow; Possible* as a solitary Interrogation,
and res? for Indeed-I should have marked,
so far, no difference whatever between the
partleB here and those I have left behind. The
women are very beautiful, but they soon fade;
the general breeding ls neither stiff nor for?
ward; the good nature universal. If you ask
the way to a place of some common water-side
man, who don't know you from Adam-he
turns and goes with you. Universal deference
is paid to ladies; and they walk about at all j
season?, wholly unprotected. * . * *
This hotel is a trifle smaller than Finsbury
square; and is made so Infernally hot (I use
the expression advisedly) by means of a fur?
nace, with pipes running through the passages,
that we can hardly bear ir. Tnere are no cur?
tains lo the beds or to the bed room windows.
I am told there never are, hardly, all through
America. The bed-rooms are, indeed, very
bare of furniture. Ours is nearly as large as
your great room, and has a wardrobe lu lt, of
painted wood, not larger (I appeal to K. ) than
an English watch-box. I slept lu this room
two nights, quite satisfied with the belief that
it was a shower-bath."
The last addition made lo this letter, Irom
which many of the vividest pages of the Notes
(among them the bright quaint picture of Bos
ion streets) were taken with small alteration,
bore date the 29th of January: "I hardly know
what to add to all this long and unconnected
history. Dana, the author of that. Two Years
Before the Mast," (a book which I hal prized
much to bim, thinking it like De Foe,) ''Is a
very nice fellow Indeed; and in appearance
not ai all th? man you would expect. He Is
short, mlld-Iooklng, and has a care-worn face.
Ills father ls exactlv like George Cruikshank
after a night's Jollity-only shorter. The pro?
fessors at Cambridge Uulversiiy, Longfellow,
Felton, J ired Sparks, are noble fellows. So ls
Kenyon's friend, Ticknor. Bancroft is a fa?
mous man; a .straightforward, manly, earnest
heart; and talks much of you, which Is a great
comfort. Dr. Channing I will tell you more of
after I nave breakfasted alone with him next
Wednesday. * * ? Sumner is ol great ser?
vice to me. * * * The president of the Sen?
ate here presides at my dinner on Tuesday.
Lord Mulgrave lingered wilh U3 till last Tues?
day (we had our little Captain lo dinner on the
Monday,) and then went on to Canada. Kale
is quite well, and so ls Anne, whose smartness
surpasses belief. They yearn for home, and
so do I."
TRAVELLING IM AMERICA.
"I have ollen asked Americans lu London
which were the better railroads, ours or
theirs? They have taken time for reflection,
and generally replied on mature considera?
tion that they rainer thought we excelled; In
respect to the punctuality with which we ar?
rive at our stations, ami the smoothness of
our travelling. I wish you could see what an
American railroad ls, in some ports where I
now have seen them. I won't Eay I wish you
could feel what lt ls, because that would be
an unchristian and savage aspiration. It is
never inclosed or warded on. You walk
down the main street of a large town, and
slap-dash, headlong, pell-mell, down the mid?
dle of the street, with pigs burrowing, and
boys flying kites and playing marbles, and
men smoking, and women talking, and chil?
dren crawling close to the very rails, there
comes tearing along a mad locomotive with its
tralniof cars, scattering a red-hot shower of
sparks (from its wood fire) in all direction?:
screeching, hissing, yelling and panting, and
nobody oue atom more concerned than if lt
were a hundred miles away. You cross a
turnpike road, and there ls no gate, no police?
man, no signal-nothing to keep the wayfarer
or quiet traveller out of tho way, but a wood?
en arch on Which ls written, In great letters:
'Look out for the locomotive.' And If any
man, woman or child don't look out, why, it's
bis or her fault, and there's an end ot li.
'.ihe cars are like very shabby omnibuses
only larger, holding sixty or seventy people.
The seats, Instead of being placed longways,
are put cross-wise, back to front. Each bolds
two. There ls a long row of these on each side
of the caravan, and a narrow passage up the
centre. The windows are usually all closed,
and there is very often, in addition, a bot,
close, most intolerable charcoal stove In a red
hot glow. The heat and closeness are quite
insupportable. But this Is the characteristic of
all American bouses, of all the public institu?
tions, chapels, theatres and prisons. From the
constant use of the hard anthracite coal in
these beastly furnaces, a perfectly new class of
diseases is springing up in the country. Their
effect upon an Euglishman is briefly told. He
Is always very sick and very faint ; and has
an intolerable headache, morning, noon and
night." ? ., ^ ?_
EARTH CLOSETS.-Carefully prepared statis?
tics put the number ol deaths at thirty thous?
and annually, resulting irom cholera, dysen?
tery and typhoid fever, allured chiefly by the
open privies ol the country. The Journal of
Applied Chemistry says of this fact: "It ls
asking too much of an intelligent community
that it should tolerate such nuisances much
longer, and we reiterate what we have said
before, that nothing but Ignorance stands in
the way of the universal Introduction ol the
dry-earth system. We last year gave the re?
sults of our experience with the earth closer,
and this year can add the accumulation of
another summer's trial. We prepared three
barrels of sifted and semi-dried earth for our
supply for a family of eight persons, and this
material, with a barrel of hard coal ashes,
making four barrels In all, was found to be
sufficient for four months. The greater part ot
lt passed through the closet five times, and,
when stored away in the barn this autumn,
was not so disagreeable in odor as many sam?
ples of guano." The same paper argues that
as soon as earth closets become generally
known and introduced, and the value of the
material becomes kn^wn, it stands to reason
that companies will "?. .organized who will
furnish all the dry earth and empty the scut
tleB without any charge lo the family, and
I eventually they will pay for the privilege.
This Is certainly an Important subject, wheth?
er it ls regarded la a sanitary or pecuniary
point of view, and especially so for large
cities.
A NEW PARTITION WALL.-A new kind of
wall is coining into use in England, the ad?
vantages claimed for which are the very im?
portant ones ot non-absorbency of moisture,
non-conduction of heat, economy of space, a
washable surface, and, withal, cheapness.
Over a irame-work of strong cross-wires, of
about one-eighth ol'an inch in thickness, there
is woven a compnct layer ot fibrous matter,
which is saturated with a solution that renders
it fire-proof. It ls then subjected to a very
powerful pressure. A coating of light Scon's
cement ls then put upon it lor InBide facing,
and of Portland cement for outside facing.
By this means surlaces are made Impermeable
to moisture, smooth, und easily washed with
water, thus saving the expense of repeated
lime-washings. It Is lormud Into slabs in Iron
frames, which are put together and closelv
and securely fastened wilh bolts. The Blabs
are fruin one aud a half Inch to four Inches
thick. They serve as superior paneling for
dividing walls and partitions. Whore space ls
of import mice, it has the advantage, perhaps,
over concrete walling. In enuring a wall to be
made ot not more limn one and a half or two
Inches in thickness, and yet its qna lty ls said
to greatly deaden sound.

THE DATS OF THE COMMONE
TUE STORY OF ROSSEL'S RESIGNA?
TION AND FLIGHT.
A Brave Man's Admissions.
A number of Rossel's writings, Intended for
posthumous publication, have appeared
print In Paris. The author, In the extract
fol lo win g, explains the exact nature of the
circumstances which attended his resigna?
tion, contemplated arrest and final flight :
'On the 8th o? May the chiefs of legion as?
sembled to enter their protest against the
formation of regiments. Many of them
who were sent to me for this purpose de
dared that their authority was sufficiently
established to enable them to put troops
the field at once, and promised me for the
next day twenty-five battalions, ol five hun
dred men each, In marching trim. I did not
place much dependence on this promise; but
as a success was urgent. If it were only to give
time to organize the defence, I determined,
they brought me a few battalions in good con
ditton, to go out with them and engage the
enemy In the open field. I gave orders at the
same time for Bergeret's regiment to be pres
ent, as I knew lt lo be better prepared than
the others. Bergeret promised, but gave an
excuse at the eleventh hour for the absence
of three battalions which would not march
for want ot certain accessories. Several
chiefs of legion came also In the evening to
apprise me that they would not be able to
provide the troops which they had promised
It was then that I dictated my resignation
copies of which I sent to the most widely cir?
culated Journals. 1 he next moment I learned
tli at the tri-color was floating "over Fort Issy
which had been abandoned on the preceding
evenlog by the garrison, and which I In vain
attempted to reoccupy. I went afterward, for
conscience sake, to see the troops which the
cblels of legion had assembled, and caused
their effective strength to be counted. This
effective did not amount to five thousand men,
and was composed of wretched troops. The
Commune, on receipt of my letter, sent two
deputations, one after another, to persuade
me to withdraw roy resignation. On my
refusal, they ordered the commission
o? war to assume the direction of a
delegation of war, and to place me under ar?
rest. At the same time, the central commit?
tee, which was sliting at the ministry or war.
was Eendlng me deputation after deputation
to ask me to present myself at their meetings
I was obliged to j le d to their pressure, and I
gave ihem the explanations which they re?
quired, pointing out to them that I could not
be expected to do all the work-to be at once
corporal and captain-to run hither and thith?
er alter men who were tired of fighting, while
all those who ought to have been working
were occupied In very unseasonable delibera?
tions. The central committee was stupe?
fied. On leaving, I went and dined with
Dombrowskl, where I received a messenger
from the central committee, who Informed
me that the committee was going to ask the
Commune to allow me full powers. I re?
turned to the ministry at about ten o'clock,
where I received the visit ot all tue commis?
sion ol war, reinforced with Johanard and
Delescluze. Alter the first compliments bad
passed between ns, Delescluze reproached me
with having publicly placarded the capture of
Fort Issy. I answered him rather sharply
that the people ought to be the first to hear
news of this Importance. We argued for
some time on this point, which was the great?
est grievance the Commune had against me;
and the commission, which had brought with
lt a warrant of arrest, went away without
communicating this warrant to me, and after
having begged that I would continue to
discharge my lunctions till the next day.
This I agreed to do only on the con?
dition that I should be allowed lo retain
one of the members of the commission
to sign all documents. On the following
morning the commission, very much
perplexed at not having carried out Ita formal
order, sends two of UB members to Inv?teme
lo accompany them to the Hotel de Ville, and
I remained at the Questure till five o'clock
without being either free or a prisoner. At
five o'clock Gerardln Joined us, and Informed
me that be had come to constitute himself a
prisoner with mc. The fitting of the Com?
mune had J)een uproarious. No reason would
be listened to, and an act of Indictment had
been* decreed against me. They had even
named the court-martial, of which Collet was
to b<3 the president. I could not bear the idea
of appearing as an accused before thia Collet,
whom I had seen in abject fear of the shells at
Issy, and it was then I determined to fly from
the juBtlce of the Commune. I brought Gerar
din away with me In my carriage, which set us !
down In the Boulevard Sr. Michel, and each of |
us went In search o? a lodging.
.I served the revolution lulthfully, blindly,
HU the day when experience had convinced
me of the vanity of the hopes 1 had founded
on this venture. The Commune had no states?
men, no soldiers, and did not wish to have
any. It accumulated ruins on itself, without
having either the power or even the desire of |
cresting anything aireen. Opposed lo public?
ity because lt was conscious of its folly, op?
posed to liberty because lt existed lo an un?
stable equilibrium, from which the slightest
move was bound to make lt fall, this oligarchy
wai the most odious despotism that could bo
Imagined. Possessing only one Idea of gov
eminent, which consisted In keeping the peo?
ple in its pay, it squandered by its expendi?
tures the savings of the Democracy and ruined
the hopes of the latter by causing the people
to lose the habit of working. When I saw that
this evil was beyond remedy-that every ef?
fort, every sacrifice, was barren-my role came
to an end." __
FASHION NOTES.
-A new style of for is known by the name
o? wolverine, and will be, it is said, aa popular
next season as sealskin ls this.
-The dresses are ail trimmed with small
bows of the silk, and a shade darker Dian the
dress. Ladles, it seems, cannot get along
without bows (beaux.)
-Four curls depending from the top of the
head, where they are fastened by a knot of |
black velvet or bow of bright ribbon, ls the
latest fashionable style for dressing the hair j
for young ladles.
-Crimson cloth jackets or sacks, trimmed
with jet beada and embroidery, are very fash?
ionable for opera wear, or for afternoon recep?
tions, with dress or bonnet trimmings to
match. They contrast well.
-The light-colored tortoise shell ls becom?
ing all the rage, and every style of ornament
ls made ol lt. Some very pretty fans have al?
ternate sticks of dark ana light color, which
are very unique and pretty.
-In New York, ladles, when on promenade,
wear a belt of leather around tue waist, to
which ls fastened a clasp which holds an um- j
brella of brown, purple or blue silk on one |
side, so that a lady may carry an umbrella
without being obliged to take her hands out of j
her muff.
-Colored lace Is very much used for trim-1
ming handsome light silk costumes, and many
fashionable ladies submit their handsome point
and valencienne laces to the hands of the dyer,
to conform to a fashion which, like all others,
will soon die (dye) out, and then lt will be of |
no use whatever.
POLITICAL CHESSMEN.-At the exhibition of |
the Art Association of Munich there was dis?
played a curious set of chessmen carved by an
eminent sculptor. The principal pieces rep?
resent in figure aud face the leading charac?
ters of France and Germany. The rival kings
are the EmperorB William I and Napoleon III,
and the queens are the Empresses Augusta
and Eugenie. The other principal pieces are
stat uettes of Prince Frederick, Bismarck, Von
j Moltke aud the prominent German generals:
j while Theirs, Gambetta, Bazaine and other
{leaders are on the French side. The pawnB
t consist of Uhlans and German light horse,
' who are opposed to Turcos and members of |
the Mobile Guard. The two castles on the
German side stand for Rastatt and Mayence,
while those on (he French side stand for
Strasbourg and Metz. It ls suggested that,
although these chessmen may be valuable as
souvenirs ot the Franco-German war, yet they
cannot be used to advantage In the mimic
game. For, when Hercules and Lichas play
at dice which 1? the bettor men, the greater
throw may turj by fortune from the weaker
hand, BO in a contest between equally-match?
ed chess-players using this Franco-German
set, the German pieces may be captured, and
the Emperor William driven Into a corner aud |
checkmated.

PACIFIC GUANO.
PRICE, $46 CASU, WITH DSUAL ADVANCE
FOR TIME.
Experience ia the use of this GUANO for the
psst six years in this State, for Cotton and Corn,
has so far established its character for excellence
as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy of the
Company to furnish the best Concentrated Ferti?
lizer at ihe lowest cost to consumers, this Ouano
ls put into market this season at the above re?
duced price, which the Company ls enabled to do
by reason o Its large facilities an i the reduced
cost of manufacture.
The supplies put Into market this season are, as
heretofore, prepared under the personal superin?
tendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel, Cbemlit or
the Company, at Charleston, S. C., hence planters
may rest assured tnatlts quality and composition
ls precisely the same as that heretofore sold.
At ihe present low price, every acre planted
can be fertilized with 200 pounds Guano at a cost
not exceeding the present value or 30 pounds or
cotton, while experience has shown that under
favorable condition of season and cultivation, the
crop is increased by the application from two to
three fold the natural capacity of the soil, hence
under no condition could its application fail to
compensate for the outlay.
