The pastor and membership of St. Paul lake pleasure in announcing the fact, that the repairs which were being made in the ndience room above are now completed. The ladies and pastor deserve great cred- t for the beautiful style in which they ,ave painted it. They have made it one >f the most attractive audience rooms in he city. Services will be held this morn- Bg up stairs, and this announcement, re’ve no doubt, will bring out a large at- Dndance of the members and friends of he congregation. The unpleasant sit ings in the basement, compelled many to absent themselves from regular attend ance, and now, that they are left without excuse, we hope to find them always on hand.

The thief was mounted. This is the third or fourth time he has visited this neighbor ed and on each occasion relieving some no of poultry. Our officers have been Informed of the theft and doubtless will capture the “gent.” Large Turnip. We were shown on yesterday a very large turnip, which weighed five pounds and nine ounces, and measnred 24 inches in circumference and eight inches in diameter. This is the largest one we have seen this season. It was raised by Mr. M. D. Goode, of Kussell county, Alabama Mack is a “mover" aoyway. Re-Union of St, Paul Nickel Club. The Nickel Cinb of St. Paul Church beid one of their pleasant re-unions at the Central Hotel Friday night. Mr. Chaffin and his estimable lady did all in their power to make every one enjoy themselves. A neat sum was realized from the sale of ice cream, lemonade, etc. The ladies of this chnrch certainly de» serve great credit for tbe energy display ed in the management of these affairs.

Trinity Sunday School of Brownsville, accompanied by Wilson Williams Lodge, will go on an excursion on the Mobile and Girard road on the 4th of July. The factories having agreed to suspend on that day, the operatives can have an op portunity to enjoy a day of ebeap recrea tion, and it ia hoped and believed many of them will avail themselves of it. Many people from the eity, desirous of a day’s respite from the dust and heat of the town, will also find this excursion a oheap and pleasant investment. Ample amuse ments will be afforded and refreshments served at a trifling expense. Tbe profits, if any, will be divided between the Sunday School and new Masonic Hall. It is hoped and expected that our Alabama neighbors especially will feel sufficient interest in this enterprise to make it a complete success in all respects. A GIANT CORPORATION THAT HAS A SOUL. The losses of the Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Company in the recent fire at St. John, N. B., will, it is sup posed, amount to $500,000. The Com pany has, per cable from Liverpool, in structed their resident Secretary at St. John as follows: “Draw at sight for losses and subscribe Five Hundred Pounds to Relief Fund.” The assets of this Company amount to $28,000,000. L. H. Chappell, Agent, 119 Broad Street, Colnmbus, Ga. THE CHORAL UNION CONCERT. July 10th, in the Opera House, the Choral Union will give their second concert. A special point in this entertainment is to have mnch in little, to make it short, yet most highly enjoya ble, as the weather is so very warm. Experience is a true and powerful teacher, and, as they have given one entertainment and, they are tbe more highly qualified to present a much better one than the first, though it was pronounced par excellence. One of the most attractive features will be the charming and tasty operatta, enti tled “Diamond cat Diamond.” This will be acted by Miss Anuie Mays and Mr. Matt O’Brien, both of whom are really good actors. Both are graoeful and charming singers and will give the piece a tinge of freshness and sprightliness rarely seen on the stage. ’Rah! for these and the Choral Union. THOMAS A PRESCOTT, AT THE GENT’S EMPORIUM OF FASHION, Are still meeting the wants of this sec tion in the way of elegant Spring and Summer Clothing, and Fashionable Hats at prices that are bonnd to please. Don’t forget their popular Keeps Shirts, which are better and cheaper than any made. Excursionists who yisit the city daring the week should not fail to call on ThomaB & Prescott.

Tbe next term of the Commissioners' Court for Russell county, Ala., will be held on the sacond Monday, the 9th day of July iustaut. On Friday last, in the County Court of Russell county, it cost a negro woman $13.50 for stealing peaches from the or- ohard of Mr. James M. Wright. To keep her ont of jail (she having an infant eleven months old, and having no money) Mr. Wright paid the fine for her. It is said an independent ticket for county officers in Russell county, Ala., will be run. Mr. John T. Ware, ex- Sheriff of that county, we learn, is a can didate. JULY. To-day is the first of July, called by the Latins Jnlins. By the Romans it was originally called QuintiUs, the fifth month in the original Latin year, which before the reign of Numa began with March. It was in honor of Jnlius Canar, perhaps Romes’ greatest intellect, that Mark An tony suggested that it be changed to July, as the former was born on the 12th of this month. It is given various names by different nations. TOH RHODES. He is a first-class harness maker, har ness, trunk and saddle repairer. He has been in the business for many years, and his reputation in this section is well es tablished as being one who has no supe riors at his trade. He is located on Ran dolph street, one or two doors east of the old postoffice. Very Large Potatoes. Yesterday we received some very fine Irish potatoes from Mr. S. H. Dickerson, of Steam Mills, on the Chattahoochee river. Last February he planted one peck of “peerless” potatoes in seven rows twenty yards long and three feet apart. He commenced to use from them regu lar dy about April 15lh and continued to June 25th, When he dag therefrom seven and one- quarter bushels. The patch must have yielded all of fifteen bushels. This is per haps the heaviest production that could be gotten off the same amount of ground, in fact we have never before beard of such. An acre at this rate would pro duced about four hundred bushels. The Grand Jury. The bar-rooms have cause to congratu late themselves, and they will agree with us when they read the following from one of our exchanges: A City’s Sensation.—St. Louis, June 29.—The Republican's Kansas City spe cial says the grand jury just adjourned has returned over three hundred indict ments against merchants for violating the Sunday laws. A public indignation meet ing was held this afternoon and a commit tee appointed to report another meeting, to be held next Saturday. The list of in dicted includes a deacon of a chnrch and a number of clothing dealers and drug gists. There is some sauce in the above also for the “brethren.” JUST RECEIVED, A new lot of White Muslin Ties, at Thobnton & Aoee’s.

Jooee no tifies the pnblio that to-morrow (2d inst) he will offer his entire stock at cost. Mr. Jones, for many years, has been one of onr leading retail dry goods merchants. As such be has been a sucoess, and deserved ly so, for he is favorably known to all onr people. He has bnilt np one of the most satisfactory businesses in this place, and has a trade that some good man ought to succeed to. His business has been almost entirely for cash, and bis customers are the best to be found in the country. He prefers to sell his entire stock at one sale. If any one wants a first class business, with a fine ran of trade, they could not do better than to buy out this house. Mr. Jones has the reputation of being one of our best buyers, which is a guarantee that the stock of goods he offers is not shoddy. It is also well known that be never allows old goods or rubbish to accumulate. We feel confident there is not a better selected line of dry goods in the State, and a purchaser would not be burdened with thingb unmarketable. He will offer his stocks to the public at almost their own prices, so onr people will have an opportunity of selecting what they need. We advise all to give him a call, and we can assnre all that they will find that he will do just as he says—Sell regardless of cost.” Mr. Jones’ reason for thus sacrificing his stoek, is because be contemplates quitting the retail trade, and will do a wholesale dry-goods business in onr town. No man is better qualified to do such a business and we wish him success in his ventnre. We want more wholesale houses and desire the head of such houses to be men of that sterling integrity, industry and capacity that Mr. Jones so pre-emi nently possesses. ’Rah ! for Jones. SPECIAL ATTENTION of our readers is called to the advertise ment in-this issue, of the insurance firm of Jordan & Blackmar. The returns to the city of premiums collected, which is the only correct test of the business done, and the popularity of the Agents and Companies ; shows this firm to be one that the people will patronize, and have confidence in. Mr. Jordan had hereto fore represented some of the Companies, and Mr. Blaokmar the others. Both have succeeded splendidly. The combination now makes the Agency a very strong one, with none but responsible, high toned Companies. The two gentlemen compri sing the firm are so well known in onr community, that it is useless for us to try to add anything to their good names. John Blaokmar will attend personally to the business. Application for insurance oan be left with G. Gunby Jordan at the Eagle & Phenix Manufacturing Com pany’s office, or at the office of the firm, next door to the Telegraph Offioe. Read the advertisement. WHAT IS ITT Mr. Matt O’Brien received yesterday from Troy, Ala., a queer looking animal that puzzles every one as to what it is. Its body is about ten inches long with a tail about two feet long. It has the appear ance of monkey, coon, opossum and dog, yet is neither. When eating it sits and handles its food similar to a squir rel. It uses its tail like a monkey, moves and twists itself abont as if it was bone less. It is indeed a queer animal. It was oaught iu Conecuh swamp, near Troy, Al abama, and sent to Mr. O’Brien to exhibit at the festival this week. Mr. O'Bri en has several other cariosities that he will exhibit at the same time, a pig that has several toes that look like human toes; he has an outlandish looking bird that be calls an African mocking bird ; a crane that is at least six feet high; some horned frogs, &o., in fact has a host of cariosi ties that will make np an exceedingly good exhibition.

This company, with the assistance of its lady friends, have made extensive prepara tions, and it will be the grandest of any that ever has been held in Columbus. The features of the festival are varied and will well repay a visit. There will be a large platform for dancing with exoeilent music. An elevated platform 20 x 20 feet square has been built,- on which will be a piano and organ, and some of our best amateur musical talent has consented to aid in giving ehoir, vocal and inetrumen tal music. A gymnasium club will have a space allotted to them, where the performers will execute some fine athlethio feats. From what we can learn, this feature will be one of the most entertaining of the festival. Booths for supplying refreshments have been provided, and visitors oan get lemonade, ice eream, cakes, lunches or a regular meal at panic prices. The main feature of attraction, no donbt, will be a large exhibition tent 20x 40 feet, which will contain a large collec tion of natural and unnatural cariosities. This tent will be in charge of Messrs. O’Brien and Baldwin, who have scoured the country for objects, and their collec tion is said to be very fine and well worthy of seeing. A dress parade will take place on the grounds on Wednesday at 7 o’clock p. m., Captain W. S. Shepherd in command. The Light Guards have displayed much enterprise towards making their Festival a grand snocess, and onr people are inter esting themselves to make the affair each as the most ardent conld wish. The Columbus Guards and Muscogee Rifles are working with a vim to aid their brother soldiers. Financially and socially, we rejoioe to see our soldier boys taking such a lively interest. It sugars that friendly relation* ship which should exist between rival companies, and that their rivalry will be to pash up and not pull each other down. GREAT ATTRACTION! P Excursionists to the city on the Fourth aud during the week will find it to their interest to call ou Mrs. Lee, the fashion able milliner, who has a complete stock in her line, and will sell all descriptions of goods for the balance of the season at prices not only to defy competition, bat to convince all that her goods are not only desirable, bat cheaper than ever. L O UAL m BRIE PS. —Grenadine is full dress for all but young girls. —Brown suits are much worn by New York gentlemen. —Mackinaw rough straw hats are always in masculine style. —A parasol trimmed with torohon lace has bit the feminine fancy. —Wade Hampton is the favorite name for babies and dogs in Atlanta. —No colored petticoats are worn this season unless one female can’t afford but one a week, which makes black become white. —Gents’ summer pants must be cut large, full aud straight. A woman’s should be cut the same way if she will wear them—very well. Sew! — “In swallow-tail coats, the only change is that the tails are shortened.” That’s just what happened to a country preacher’s horse one night while he was expounding. —Mr. Matt O’Brien has painted a pic- tore of Columbus as viewed from the river bank on a dark night, but a lack of space precludes a description in this issue. It will be exhibited, however, at the City Light Guards’ festival. —“Eight Columbus belles now gladden the heart of Atlanta society.” Not so— Columbus hasnt so many belles, though she has more charming ladies than any city of its size in the South. Why will ye continue fo call every female a “belle”? —There are no funds on hand to have the streets watered. The money sub scribed by the merchants was invested in the hydrants. Fifty cents a week, per haps twenty-five cents from each mer chant would be enough to pay for the watering. —It is such an nnnsual occurrence for some papers to get new subscribers that it is getting fashionable for them, when they do get one, to record the fact edito rially. We received fifteen hundred new ones yesterday—“ handed in by a gentle man.” There! —Ice houses have a way of cooling things for their customers. The most economical plan of getting cool drinks is to get them to freeze a blanket for you, and, when you desire a cool drink, just wrap the blanket around the neck and pour in the liquor, which will freeze as it flows downward. m Schenek’s Sea Weed Tonic. In the atmosphere experienced here daring the summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat takes away the de sire for wholesome food, and frequently perspirations reduce bodily energy, par ticularly those suffering from the effeots of debilitating diseases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the ener vated body. For dyspepsia it is invalua ble. Many eminent physicians have donbted whether dyspepsia can be perma nently cured by the drugs which are gen erally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact, it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so mnch resembles the gas tric juice that it is almost identioal with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natu ral solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body causes the food to be digest ed; and when this jnice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion, *with all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the dnty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonio sold by all Druggists. jyl eodlm AT COST! AT COST!!

A Jew Upon the Jews in •* Daniel Derenda.” A noteworthy contribution to the Jane number of Macmillan's Magazine is Mr. Joseph Jacob’s “Mordeoai: A protest against the Critics by a Jew.” This paper relates to that much criticised book, ‘‘Daniel Deronda.” Mr. Jacobs, how ever, only concerns himself with the pages of the story which relate to Mor decia Cohen and his associates. He says that the Jews should recognize in Mor- decai Cohen not only the finest repre sentative of their religion and race in all literature, but also the most impressive personality in English fiction. The rea son why the Jewish parts of this book did not awaken more interest, Mr. Jacobs says, is that since “ the time of Moses Mendelssohn the home of spiritual Juda ism has been in Germany, and George Eliot, whose pages are informed with the writings of German Jews like Zunz, Gei ger and Gratz, has, with true historic in sight, attributed Mordecai’s spiritual birth to the teachings of his German unele. English Judaism is without signs of life; the only working of the spirit, tbe abor tive reform agitation, was dne to a simi lar movement in Germany. And English Jews have themselves much to blame for the neglect that English criticism has shown for Mordecai.” Mr. Jacobs also says that “those who know anything of the great leaders of spiritual Judaism will recognize in Mor decai all the traits that have characterized them. Saul of Tarsus, Ibu Gebirol (Av- icebron), Jehuda Halevi, Ibu Ezra, Maimonides Spinoza, Mendelssohn, not to mention other still more unfamiliar names, were all men like Mordecai—rioh in inward wealth, yet content to earn a scanty livelihood by some handicraft; ar dently spiritual, yet keenly alive to the claims of home affection; widely erndite, yet profoundly acquainted with human natnre; mystics, yet with much method iu their mysticism.” He thinks that it was right to make Mordecai a layman in stead of a priest; Moses, Ezra and the prophets were laymen. Of some of tbe other Jewish characters in the book, Mr. Jacobs says: “The gallery of Jewish portraits con tained in ‘Daniel Deronda’ gives, in a marvellously full and accurate way, all the many sides of onr complex national char acter. The artistic element, with the proper omision of painting and sculpturing in which Jews, though eminent, have not been pre-eminent, is well represented by Kiesmer, Mirah, and the Alcharisi. Ezra Gohen is a type of the common place Jew, the familiar figure of prosperous mercan tile dealing, the best known trait of Jews to Englishmen; while little Jacob exhibits a very humorous form the well-known precocity of Jewish children.” Industrial, Commercial and Man ufacturing Notes. The advantages of the war in Europe to the business men of the United States have thus far been exactly nothing. It may be doubted whether the results are even as favorable as that. The beautiful specimens of American farniture, watches, musical instruments, cloths, tools, and hangings, which are being exported in Buch large quantities now, seem to be producing the impres sion abroad that the Americans are really a civilized people. Australians, it appears, never saw a post-hole digger until it was placed on exhibition in the American Department at Sydney, nor a scuffle-hoe, nor yet a corn-sheller. That is not strange, per haps, for the people of Vienna never saw a watering-pot with more than one sprink - ling hole in it until Jackson S. Schuitz showed a workman how to make one at the exhibition of 1873, nor had they seen a hundred of the little familiar household inventions so convenient and in such gen eral use iu this country. At all the world’s fairs no objects excite such wonder and attract so much attention as the innumer able variety of small Yankee notions which have sprung from the fertile brains of onr people. One can go down into Fulton Market and in an hour’s time col lect scores of small things which no one can do without iu America, aud yet which are almost unknown iu Europe, and if known for which there would be a lively demand. In future world’s fairs don’t neglect the Yankee notions. The commerce of 1876-7 has brought great blessings to the American people. It has been large and profitable, has made things easier here than in almost any other large country in the world, and bet ter than all, has latterly turned the minds of the people away from politics to more healthful topics. We are now at the close of the commercial year. To-day July 1, the national ledger will be bal anced. Though exact figures cannot be given, enough is known to show that the balance of trade will be $210,000,000 in merchandise in our favor this year, an increase of about 0,000,000 over the preceding ysar. The increase is due to the larger exports. Raw cotton fell off $20,000,000, and wheat fell off $12,000,000; but manufactures, pro visions, corn, tobacco, aod oil were sold to foreign customers in quantities which immensely overcame the deficiency. The year ends with several new and important lines of export trade developed, with growth the general law in all lines, and with genuine hope and confidence on the part of manufacturers, farmers, and min ers. The fact that imports are again in creasing shows greater purchasing power also among the people. The country may congratulate itself on the happy results of the commercial year.

I., June 28.—The imposing ceremonies at the laying of the corner stone of Stewart Memorial Cathe dral took place to-day at Garden City, in the presence of an immense conconrse of people. Abont one-third of the Cathe dral is completed. Flags floated from all houses in Garden City, and the day was observed as a general holiday in the couu- ty. Vast awnings were spread from the church over the sward, sheltering the as sembled thousands. Many Bishops, in cluding Bishops Potter,Coxe, Huntington Duane and Williams were invited, but only Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island, was present. Among those on the plat form were Mrs. A. T. Stewart, Judge Hil ton, Miss E. F. Onderdonk, sister of the late Bishop Onderdonk. A grand proces sion started from the hotel,and including 3,000 Sunday school children, the Bishop deacons, wardens, clergy, corporation of the Cathedral, guests and ladies. The procession marched around the Cathedral singing tbe processional hymn. After the regular service preliminary to placing the stone, the Te Deurn was sung and Bishop Littlejohn delivered an address. How They Crossed tbe Danube. New York Graphic.] The Czar had been in St. Petersburg, impatiently, pulling his moustache and taking pills long enough. Suddenly he got up in the middle of the night and cried : “What, ho ! Guards! Saddle me a horse! Saddle two! I would away— away to the Danube, to Rutschuk, to Potiluck, to the Bosphorus, to Constanti nople ! I will hurry up those lazy gener als of mine. Saddle me a horse !” “But, your Majesty,” observed Ruff- skuff-whiskey, the Master of the Impe rial Boots, “the railway will—” ‘True ! true!” said the Czar, “saddle me a locomotive. I will travel by train ; I will travel by two trains. Two should carry me twice as fast, should they not ?” he remarked to Count Countemoff. “Yes-yes,” hesitatingly remarked the Count; “only your Imperial Highness, figures won’t lie, nor will the maximum of railway speed be doubled even for a Czar.” The Czar Bwore an oath which lifted off tbe roof of the Imperial palace. He trav elled by express. He reached the banks of tbe Danube. He rushed to the camp. He blew up his generals right and left. “I mean biz,,’ be cried. “Forward march! throw some planks over that river!” They were thrown, “Boy, point that ten-pounder at Constantinople.” It was pointed. “Now shoot off!” It was shot. Bang! “Now hnrrv up and pile over the Daonbe,” said the Czar. Then the Russians piled. So the Danube was crossed. It t*to$$ « Czar to take Turkey. THE HORRORS OF HAS. AN EPISODE IN THE BU SSO-TUBKISH CAM PAIGN OF 1811. In 1811 the opposing Russian atd Turkish armies stood facing each other on opposite banks of the Danube. During the night between the 8th and 9th of September the Turks succeeded by mak ing a feint, and so attracting the Russians to a spot some three miles below the real point of passage-, in throwing a force of 2,000 men and four guns across the river, a short distance above Giurgevo. The first attempt of the Russians to drive the small body back into the river were suc cessfully withstood ; reinforcements were rapidly brought over from the right to the left bank until finally 30,000 men and fifty guns were assembled on the nothern shore. Every effort to advance further and drive back the Russian army, whioh had fallen back into an entrenched posi tion, was however, repulsed ; the Turks themselves being obliged after a time to construct iutreuebments, to withstand tbe oounter attacks directed against them. Unable to drive back the invading force, the Russians desisted from any farther active measnres against it, but, bringing a strong flotilla of gunboats np the Danuhe, to prevent sapplies being car ried across the river into the Turkish eamp on the left bank, they quietly waited events. The provisions of the Turkish force, thus completely isolated, unable to advance because of the Russian force in front of it, unable to retreat becanse of the flotilla which effectually prevented any bridge beind thrown across the river, soon began to ran short. The weather became cold; bat there was no fuel with which to kindle a fire. Under these circumstances tbe suffer ings of the men were very great. For some time there was horseflesh, but it had to be eaten raw, as even the tentpoles had been ent up and burned. Hundreds died daily, and their comrades had not the strength to bury them. Disease was consequently soon added to famine, so that when finally,on the 8th of December, peace was concluded, but 4,000 men, who are described as being but living skeletons with scarcAufficient strength to stand upright, were left out of the 30,000 who three months before bad crossed the river. G GUNBY JORDAN. JOHN BLACKMAR. The Fortifications of Rustchuk Eastern War Correspondence of the Chicago Tri bune.] What might be considered the business quarter consists of|rows of irregularly built wooden shops on wide and long thorough fares, whose pavements are about as smooth as a corduroy road, and where the road is not excessively dusty, it contains deep holes fall of stagnant, slime-cover ed water, emitting noxious exhalations. The smells arising from these quagmires and from the filthy cheese-shops is enough to canse revolt in any well-ordered stom ach. The Mohammedan cemetery is in the town, adding to the nnhealtbiness of the atmosphere. The only soaveDgers are the dogs, who, as iu other large Moham medan towns, roam about unowned and unrestricted—fierce and ngly-looking cars with the glare of perpetual hanger in their eyes. There are a few public squares uncultivated, and overgrown with weeds. Outside the centre of the town the scene is still more desolate. The streets are mere alleys, abonnding in filth, which often oozes down the middle of the way iu a hideous rivulet. At night the streets are veiled in darkness, and only a cour ageous wayfarer would ventnre out of doors. Such is Rustchuk, a town of 30, 000 souls in ordinary times. The fortifications are regarded by the Turks as the strongest of their river de fenses, but to a military or unprejudiced eye they appear far from impregnable. A rampart and moat of primitive con struction surround the eity on the land side. Tbe former stands only twenty-five feet in height, while the moat has a dry bed abont thirty feet in width. Of course, in the modern system of warfare, this wall and ditch are of trifling avail. Along the river front the aspect is more formid able, as there are continuous series' of batteries placed in commanding positions, the bank here being high above the flood. Iu this respect Nature has done more for the Tnrks than they have done for them selves. All along the war frontier the Roumanian bank is flat and marsy every where, while the south shore rises ab ruptly, forming natural conveniences for placing batteries. But the fault of the Turks is their overconfidence in their poi sition. They have scarcely taken pains to strengthen the face of the redonbts, which consist now of clay soil sloaping steeply to the water’s edge. The main stay of the fortress is the intrenchment on the Sary-Bair, the highest point of the plateau. This comprises two redoubts, pentagonally-shaped, and containing ex tensive barracks. A dozen or more re doubts are scattered at Balient points on the Tom river and on the adjacent ridges, none of them possessing great strength, and it is evident to me that a vigorous bombardment of Rustchuk from the op posite side of the river would in a short peyod reduce this boasted fortress to ruins. THE TIGHBORNE CLAIMANT. IMPORTANT TESTIMONY FROM A CONVICT IN THE SAN FRANCISCO PENTENTIARY. San Francioo, June 25—A short time ago the Call published news relative to the schooner Osprey, which was said to have picked np the Tichborne claimant off the Brazilian coast. The article was read by an old man named Oliver Perry now a prisoner in the penitentiary in this State, who has made a statement which was pub lished in thq Call on Sunday morning. This is to the effect that he was second mate and carpenter of the three-masted schooner Osprey, which sailed from New York in February, 1854," for San Fran cisco; that some time in April or May following they picked up five men off the coast of Brazil, one of whom was an Englishman, and was called “Tick;” thought it was a nickname; considered him an over-grown boy abont twenty years of age; he spoke English with a German or French accent, and said his father was a lord, or something of that sort, and that he had been in South Amer ica traveling for pleasure. The Osprey, after coming to this port, went to Austra lia, and he supposed that “Tick” went on her, but is not certain. The captain’s name was Owen. Ferry is now more than seventy years old. His remembrance of the circum stances came to him by degrees in the course of conversation. He knew little of Tichborne, having been in the more unsettled parts of the Pacifio coast for the last fifteen or twenty years. He says he met Capt. Owen afterward in Idaho City in 1873 or 1874. Persons who have known Perry say that he was always considered a trustworthy man, and got into the pen itentiary more through misfortune and whiskey than dishonesty. Tbe American People.
