THE PALLADIUM,
WEDNESDAY. OCT. 27, 1875.
Alter lying some weeks at Vooke-
heevab, the Essex and the Essex,
v Jr., eailed for Valparaiso, where
Captain Porter was desirous of
meeting the English frigate Phoebe,
which had been sent in search of
him: but when that Teasel at last
appeared off the port; she was, most
unexpectedly to uapiam x orter.
' accompanied by the Cherub, a
. - . . M T A
sloop oi war, oi iwenxyacogn guiw
and one mwdred ana eignry men,
while the PhcBbe carried forty-six
T guns and a crew of over three hun
dred men. -
For six weeks the hostile ships
maneuvred in and around the port
of Valparaiso,the Essex being found
to outsail the enemy, so that she
could easily have escaped, but Cap
tain Porter preferred instead to
fight the Phoebe, if he could engage
her singly; this, however, Captain
Hillyar carefully avoided, being ev
idently under orders not to engage
the American ship except with the
aid of the Cherub, a fact which
shows with what respoct English
seamen now regarded the Amer-
. ican nary, for never before this
war had such a thing been known
that an English -ship should avoid
' a fight with an enemy of equal
force. - But in this case the im
portance of capturing the Essex,
and the doubtful result of meeting
her with a single ship, and equal
force, were so apparent that the
enemy showed a wanness very rare
in the English marine.
Under these severe circumstances,
Captain Porter could only stand
site of the harbor, where he cast
anchor within half a mile of a Chil
ian battery, thus being in neutral
water and protected from attack,
as one would think, by the law of
nations. But Capt. Hillyar, entirely
regardless of this circumstance, or
of the honor shown by Captain
Porter in not attacking him on a
similar occasion, at once took ad
vantage of the disabled condition
, of the Essex to place his vessel
astern of the American frigate
where he could pour in a terrific
fire, and at the same time be scarce
ly touched by her guns.
After waiting several weeks for a
fair fight, and learning that a num
ber of English men-of-war were
daily expected at Valparaiso, Capt.
Porter finally concluded to sail;
but before he was quite ready to
sea, a heavy 3ind from the south
made the Essex drag her anchors
to the mouth of the harbor, which
runs north and south. Nothing
remained but to make sail, with the
hope of clearing the enemy's ships,
which were lying near the point of
angles at the western extremity of
the port. But this, is a very dan
gerous headland, squalls often com
ing off in heavy puffs, and just as
the Essex was shortening sail when
passing the bluff, a equal struck the
ship, carrying away the maintop
mast, throwing a number of the
crew overboard, and effectually
crippling the vessel
The Cherub also hau2ed across
the bow of the Essex, but finding
that the forward guns of her an
tagonist could play upon her, took
up a position near the Phoebe.
The most Captain Porter could do
was to run three long twelves thro
the stern ports, and these were
trained with such effect on the en
emy, that in half an hour they were
obliged to move out oi range to re
pair the injuries received. Three
times during this first fight the Es
sex was veered around by springs
or hawsers drawing on the cable
from the stern, with the purpose of
getting her broadsides to bear, but
in each case the springs were shot
away, and the batteries of the Es
sex proved of little use.
After repairing, the English ships
sailed down and took position on
the quarter of the Essex, where she
could not get any of her guns to
bear. To stand their fire without
making any return was very galling,
and although such were the injuries
she had suffered in her rigging, the
flying crib was the only sail that
could be hoisted on the Essex to
make her pay off before the wind,
it was spread, and the ship grad
ually bcre down to board the
Phoebe. The American crew, un
der the perfection of discipline, and
not in the least disheartened, now
opened a tremendous -fire, which
soon drove the Cherub out of range
of her guns and forced her to re
main at a distance. The Phoebe
also kept out of reach of the Es
sex, having a leading wind and con
tent to blaze away with her long
eighteens, which wrought great ex
ecution on the decks of the Amer
ican ship. Fifteen men fell in suc
cession at one of the guns of the
Essex.
Every expedient for saving the
vessel had now been tried in vain.
She was helpless before the tremen
dous fire of the Phoebe unable to
return the fire on account of her
position, and in addition to all
these horrors, the flames were
bursting from her hatches. Capt.
Porter, still unwounded and reso
lute to fight it out to the last, final
ly listened to the entreaties ox his
crew who represented that further
resistance was more than useless,
and he reluctantly ordered the col
ors to be struck.
Captain Hillyar permitted the
Essex, Jr., to be turned into a car
tel-ehip, or vessel for carrying pris
oners destined to be exchanged, and
allowed the surviving crew of the
Essex to sail in her for the United
States. Off New York, the Essex,
Jr., was overhauled by an English
frigate, and for fear he should be
detained by her, Captain Porter,
while still thirty miles from shore,
made his escape in a whalesboat,
being assisted in the attempt by a
fog which concealed him from the
English vessel. However, the Es
sex, Jr., was soon allowed to pro
ceed, and the gallant survivors of
the crew of the ill-fated but gl
riou frigate Essex once more step
red eladlv forth upon their native
land.
Captain Porter afterward pub
lished an account of his cruise, in
two volumes, which contains many
interesting details, and is well
worth perusal. Among other mat
ters he mentions the circumstance
that there was on board a young
midshipman who was very desirous
of encasriner in the foray in the
Marquesas Islands, but was pre
vented on account of his youth; he
afterward distinguished himself for
his unflinching courage during the
trying scenes of the fight at Valpa
raiso, and would, for his good con
duct at that time, have been recom
mended for promotion if his ex
treme youth had not hindered such
a reward of merit, he being but
little over twelve years of age.
This young hero lived in our day,
and won immortal fame in the na
val operations of the late war, be-
iner no other than David C. Farra-
gut, who for some time before bis
death, held the highest position in
the American navy. He went to
school in his profession early, and
although it was rough training, its
results proved invaluable to the
country. S. G. W. Benjamin, in
' St Nicholas.
Tb Family Tcel Said to be a Tme
Ntory.
A toothless couple in one of our
rural districts, concluded, after
much jaw, that they would gum it
no longer; that, in fact, the family
must be provided with a new set
of teeth. " These worthy people
were not given to-ostentatious dis
play; they believed in having some
thing for a rainy day; they also be
lieved the doctrine that they twain
were one flesh; and since one pair
of spectacles, brasssbound,had long
sufficed for their united eyes, why
should not one set of teeth work
equally as well? Accordingly, those
aged mouths repaired to a neigh
boring dentist, and lo! the triumph
of mind over matter a set of teeth
that will bite off plug tobacco for
"father," or nibble Sunday caraway
and chatter harmless gossip for
"mother," with equal precision!
Life had now fresh zest, and found
a new relish. It is lovely and beau
tiful to see them at the little round
table ready for dinner. First, the
old lady picks up the teeth they
are always lying about handy
slips them in and makes a good
use of hex privileges while father is !
laying up a generous stock of pro
visions on his plate. Presently he
leans back in . bis chair, puts down
his knife and fork and says, cheer- ,
fully, "Come, mother, give me the
teeth!" Then the old lady, with
true conjugal alacrity, touching to
behold, catches them out, hands
them across the table to the old
gentleman, who dexterously claps
them in his own mouth, and the
family eating goes complacently on,
till. nerliRps, "mother comes lo a
hard spot and demands the molars.
So, back and forth, like a weaver's
'shuttle, busily ply the teeth, till the
square meal is ended.

A Death-Dealing; Fountain.
A letter from "Waynesburg, Pa.,
to the Alleghany Mail, says : On
Nebow Ridge, in this county, about
four miles from Jacktown, and on
the farm belonging to Henry Mil
ler, there is what is called the "gas
spring.'' This is probably the great
est curiosity in Pennsylvania. The
water is cold, but bubbles and
foams as if boiling, and the great
est wonder ; is the inevitable de
struction of life produced by in
haling the gas. No living thing is
to be found within a circuit of one
hundred yards of the spring. The
very birds if they fly over it drop
dead. We experimented with ( a
snake of the copper-head variety in
its destructive properties by hold
ing it a few feet above the water.
He stretched dead in two minutes.
It will kill a human being in twenty
minutes. We stood over it about
five minutes when a dull, heavy,
aching sensation crept over us, and
our eyes began to swim. The gas
which escapes is of the rankest kind
of carbonic acid.
A ball in Marysville, Col, was
attended by an average of about
ten men to one woman; but the
women seemed to have made up
vivacity what they lacked in num
bers. Miss Lotta Sohnman, attired
in blue silk en train, a la pull-back,
six button kids, and a lace over
dress, was the prettiest and spright-
liest. She had a quarrel with her
escort, late m the evening, and in
her dashiner wav said, "Just look
a'here! I ain't no slouch : I'm a. lady,
I am, and I knows how to behave
myself like one." Then she drew
a revolver from a pocket among the
folds of her dress at her hip, and
shot the beau so that he is likely to
die,
"Will not a paper dollar buy
food for the poor man?" asks the
demacrofirue of his audience. . Some
paper dollars will, and some will
not, buy food. Our present dollar
will: but it buys less food than it
ouerht, and it will buy less and less,
the further it is removed from the
day of resumption. If the Demo
cratic doctrine of inflation is prac
ticed, a dollar's worth of food will
not satisfy the hungry man: for
expansion means depreciation in
value. - j ...-
A condemned man in Missouri bad
a liberal curiosity to see tbe scaffold
built on wbioh he was to be hanged.
He was granted this indulgence, with
the added benefaction of an arm chair
and a bottle of whisky, in the former
of which he sat and from the latter of
which he drank, bossing the job
with the utmost fnry and the liveliest
paroxysms of profanity till the sun
went down and the calm and deep
peace of complete . intoxication de
scended upon him and he fell from
his chair over the balcony, nearly
-bjptting out the executioner, who was
lounging around beneath, and render
ing almost useless the reprieve which
the next morning restored him to a
renewed lease of life and a possible
new trial. .
Refections aa to the Rc-Bab; Strat
egists in Ohio.
! Ohio ought to be satisfied now.
It is a restless, be-deviled State,
and will have peace only when the
dead of Tuesday last shall have
been buried. It has a score of
would-be Presidents perturbed
spirits which feed on every politi
cal mushroom that springs up from
the vapors of the noxious political
quagmires out that way. Pendleton
made the first covert repudiation
dash in 1868, when he flung the
greenback question out to bait the
Democracy and capture its Nation
al Convention. . Thurman had just
won the Senatorship; he was stur
dily honest on finance, and the pay
ment of customs and bonds 'in
greenbacks was the Pendleton hal
ter for Thurman' s neck and the
Pendleton stepping-stone to the
White House. The plausible theo
ry of paying debts easily, by giving
new and irredeemable obligations,
ran well for a season, and disturbed
financial circles and capital: but the
Democratic National Convention
didn't swallow the bait and the in
vention failed. In 1869, Mr. Pen
dleton was plucky enough to go in
to public training for 1872 on his
favorite hobby, and he entered the
Gubernatorial contest against Gov
ernor Hayes, but was beaten some
8,000. Thus did Ohio accept and
settle the first plunge of ambition
against National faith, and Pendle
ton went to the rear. In the spring
of xhe present year Thurman had
to be headed off, for he was honest
and strong, and inflation was the
invention of Pendleton, McLean,
Ewing and others to accomplish it
Allen, the near relative of Thurman
and an old hard-money Jackson; te,
was forced upon a platform of illi
mitable and irredeemable currency,
as the panacea for prostrated in
dustry, and for a time it seemed
that it would sweep away old land
marks and triumph by many thous
ands. The Presidential bee also
began to buzz in his bonnet, and
Governor and Senator,- nncle and
nephew, were estranged by. con
flicting ambition. The pecular po
sition of Ohio as a pivotal State
compelled a desperate contest, and
as it was nationalized, the hopes of
Allen, both for the present and for
the future, convinced him that he
was the man of destiny for 1876.
But, as in 1869, in the Pendleton
crusade, Ohio has recoiled, and
now the host of Presidential dreams
which were flitting as shadows upon
each other have perished, and with
them the distempered theories that
gave them birth. Philadelphia

Mr. Irving, the English trage
dian, nas made his appearance in
.London m the time-honored role
of Macbeth. He makes, of course.
several departures irom the con
vcntial rendering of the part. Upon
entering as the Thane of Glamis he
carries a spear as well as a sword
and dagger. One of his critics says
that in the third act, when he comes
on as King, he carries his state
sword as if it was a baby, or as
Punch does his cudgeL In hir. fight
with Macduff he throws away his
shield and trusts to his sword
alone, and when he receives the fa
tal thrust he rises to his knees,
draws his dagger, sinks forward on
his face, and dies. His performance
is generally pronounced scholarly
and refined, but introducing useless
innovation in certain passages, and
showing to a great degree the want
of early stage training. In the pas
sage, "If it were done when 'ts
done, then it were well, after a full
stop, he reads, "It were done quick
ly, if the assassination," etc. The
Saturday Review compares this
reading to that of the actor, in the
character of Henry VII., who, in
stead of sajing to Cranmer, "O
Lord Archbishop, thou hast made
me a new man' exclaimed, "O
Lord." Mr. Irving stick to the
original reading, "Damned be him,"
and when he asks. "What hands are
here?" it is unfortunately only too
manifest that there is no blood upon
his hands, but only dirt The Ghost
is also a departure from the sub
stantlal oldfashioned ghost wi
red streaks to a crouching sped
clad in green.

The Salt Lake Tribune says that
a freight train, bound west, left Bvn
on the Union Pacific, a (ew days ago,
the engineer heard a singular crack
ing sound, and, tlnnkiog there might
be somcthmc wrong with his locomo
tivc, stopped the train and examined
the engine, which was found in good
trim. An examination of the train
was then made, and in the center was
found a car containing some sort of
fluid which was leaking through upon
the trace in drops, ine car was
opened and inside were discovered a
number of large tanks labeled glycer
ine. The car was side-tracked at
Granger. In moving it the wheels
passed over a drop of it, when it ex
pi o Jed with a report like a pistol
ine car was consigned to aBrm in
San Franoi-eo, but the company have
been unable to find who shipped it
It is supposed to be nitro-glycerine
The railroad men have tested it by
placing a drop ot it on the track and
striking it with a hammer, which
caused a loud report. A few shavings
that had been lying in the car became
saturated with it, and were laid on
the ground and struck with a stone,
which caused them to fly in every
direction. A track has been built
away from the main track, and the
car run on it. What to do with it
puzzles every one. There must be
from 1,000 to 1,500 gallons in it.

THE PRATES OF BTKON.
My spul Is sick of this long day,
I'm weary of its ling'ring light,
And, loathing life, I turn away
To weep, and wish for night ;
I long to lay me gently down.
In slumber on my mother's breast, . ' "
And would exchange an empire's crown
For rest eternal rest. ;
Although in manhood's mom I stand,
I've lived the laurel wreath to gain,
My songs are heard in every land,
And Beauty breathes the strain ;
Her sweetest smiles and tears are mine.
And yet of love, youth, fame possess'd.
Oh! gladly would I all resign
For rest eternal rest. , .
The dream for which men wish to live,
Or dare to die the gilded cloud
Of glory o'er the tomb I'd give
For silence and a shroud !
I ask no paradise on high
With being's strife on earth oppress 'd ;
The only heaven for which I sigh
Is rest eternal rest.
My natal day with tears I keep.
Which I rejoiced in when a child,
And each return the birth I weep,
On which my mother smiled ;
Bid Heav'n take back the life it gave,
That I a cold and silent guest.
May in my father's house the grave
Find rest eternal rest.
Without my own consent I came,
But with my wildest wish I go ;
For I would fairUy be the samo
I was, ere born to woe : -.'
My cold, hush'd heart, with no pale gleam"
Of consciousness to wake or waste,
Would gladly sleep without its dreams,
In rest eternal rest. , '

The Two Men and the Bear.
Two men had to go through a great
wood. Une ot them was short and
stout, and one was tall and slim.
"I could not run last or climb
well," said the short man; "if a foe,
man or beafit, came on nie, I should
have to stand my ground."
"Have no fear," 6aid the 6lim man,
"I can run fast and climb well; but
it is my rule to stand my ground I
would .fight for you to the last. I fear
no man or beast, not I. Hark! what
noise is that ?"
"I am sure," said the short man,
"that is the growl of a bear; I know
there arc bcar in this wood."
The bear was soon in sight. The
tall man ran a short way, and hid in a
tree. The short one fell flat on his
face on the ground, and held his
breath. The bear came to him, smelt
him, and thought he was dead. So
he left him, and with a gruff growl or
two wcDt on his way.
When the bear was out of sicht the
short man rose from the ground, and
the tall man came down from the
tree.
"What did the bear say to you, my
friend?" said the tall man to the short
one; "I saw him put his mouth close
to your car."
"He told me," said the short man
"to put no trust in one who brags in
the way you do, for those who boast
so much are not brave." The Meth
odist. J-OTICE TO TAX PATERS:

No investment lor people of small means
was ever offered equaling the Bonds of the
industrial Exhibition Co. The bonds are
secured by a mortgage which makes the
principal safe, and eminently secure, and
lu addition to which each bond-holder par
ticipates four times a year in the allotment
of premiums above named.
The difference between these bonds and a
lottery ticket is, in a lottery the bolder
must lose his money or draw a prize, while
ine noiuer oi an industrial fc-xnioition
lo nd, cannot lose his investment, but must
nave returned to rum the principal ana a
smait rate or interest added, ana maaai
tion, has an opportunity to draw a premium
ranging irom oo to sioo.ouo.
The Board of Directors and the Trustees
of the mortgage, are among the most emi
nent or t rie ousiness men or sew rorx, and
Is of itself agurantee that the Bonds are a
safe and desirable investment.
