I had been staying at the above place some weeks, and wondering it I was ever going to obtain employ ment when looking over one of the daily papers I noticed the followin advertisement. “Wanted an intel ligent, young man to proceed to an up country station to work in the oflfieb, an American or Englishman preferred.” “Bono” said I to my self, that intelligent young man’s place shall be tilled by me; so off' I went to my room to give an extra twist to my moustache and fix up, and then to call upon the advertiser. I soon found iny way to the gen tleman’s house and atter half an hour’s conversation^ made all ar rangements to start within forty- eight hours for my destination, Lit- tledidl think when starting that before many .weeks had elapsed I was to run a narrow chance of be ing hanged by the neck till I was “dead! dead!! dead!.!”as the judg es say when passing sentence' upon some murderer or other. But to proceed with my yarn: To wards the close of the fourth day after leaving Lima, I found myself nearly tired out, hot and dusty at the gates of a very large but rather delapidatcd looking mansion, which upon enquiring, I found was the Head-Quarters ■of the Overseer. Upon pulling tit a lArge bell rope which hHng close to th* gate, about a score of hall naked little Chinamen accompanied with about as many yelping curs ran eat to see who was the intruder. I Called onihe teHygraff, too, een my route. That are same letle Irish man war gtil a chawin his goat tea, and-his mershecr^wer stH a klickin and a briogin thetonsc.

He jest thinks he km sel more guds then awl the dirks, an pertens that his guds is cheaper eu durt.— Upon asking for the overseer I was ushered into a large room, the furniture of which consisted of one old chair aud A desk at which was seated a very kind looking old gen tleman who'upon examining my cre dentials heartily welcomed me. An hour's chat placed us on a friendly footing, and after informing e of my duties which as far as 1 Id make out were not very oner- ous, he kindly had me 6hown to a Apom to-dress Ac., telling me that he would take me round the^ station on the morrow. The next morning I felt quite re covered from my fatigues and after 4 splendid breaktast we set out on horseback to go the rounds; I was perfectly astonished at the size of the place. Thirteen hundred China men were employed besides some! thirty-five American and. English men; sugar cane was being ground up by steam and alter undergoing certain processes being converted into rum. Well the day passed away most pleasantly, I had been introduced all around and made acquaintance with some nice fellows, and in fact I was truly enjoying myself: five or six hours a day was all the time it took me to get through my writing; a good horse was at my disposal and I really began to think that a stroke of good luck had fallen Upon me worth having, when all my hopes were dashed to the ground by a cir cumstance which closed the earthly career of five as nice fellows as I had ever met with. One night after dinner Mr. O’Bri en and myself were talking, and en joying - some splendid ram punch, whcD the head engineer walked in unceremoniously, looking as pale as a sheet. Mr. O’Brien requested him to be seated and laughingly asked him what was the matter; to our horror his reply- “the men have mutined.” Too well we knew what the result would tte if the mu tiny could not be quelled*—death to us all I Air; Q’l&ien and myself hastened to procure our revolvers, and all then taking a good gulp of punch, (to get a little dutch courage), off we started. As rapidly as we could we made for the white hands quarters, where we found every one talking at onfce, all suggesting something at the same time, and nobody doing a thing. Mr; O’Brien soon calie4 thetrt to order, and explained what all—only too well knew, our’dfeadful situation; told them what was required at th.e moment was pluck and not a little of it. We repaired at once to the Hospital, that being the strongest ilding and also within shot of the built distillery to which plaee we felt as- shred that sonic of the devils would rush to get drunk. Soon only, too soon, tfe heard a buzz which told us that they were coming like a swarm of bees; I don’t know how the others felt but I gave a glance around and I read upon every man’s face a firm determination to sell his life as dear ly as possible. fc-.nscr the hum cam3 and soon we could see the leaders advancing, yelling and screaming some orders in Chinese, to those in the rear.

A YOUNG LADY WHO KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HBBSELF. Klute Artillery. Out in a certain Western fort, some time ago, the major conceived the idea that artillery might be used effectively in fighting with the Indians by dispensing with gun car riages, and fastening the cannon upon the backs of mules. So he ex plained his views to the comman dant, and it was determined to try the experiment. A howitzer w T as se lected, 'and strapped upon an ambu lance mule, with the muzzle point ing toward the tail. When they had secured the gun, and lo-idcd it with ball cartridge, they led that calm and steadfast mule out on the bluff, and set up a target in the middle of of the river to practice at. The rear of the mule was turned towards the target, and he was backed gently up to the edge ofthe bluff. The oflr cers stood around in a semicircle, while the major went up and inser ted a time-fuse in the touch-hole of the howitzer. When the fuse was ready the major lit it and retired. In a minute or two the hitherto un- rnffied mule heard the fizzing back there on his neck, and it made him uneasy. He reached his head around to ascertain what wag going on, ana, as he did so, his body turned, and the howitzer began to sweep around the horizon. The mule at last be came excited, and his cariosity grew more intense, with his four legs in a bunch, making six revolutions a min ute, and the howitzer, understand, threatening sudden death to every man within a half a mile. The com mandant was observed to climb sud denly up a tree; the lieutenants were seen sliding over the bluff into the river, as if they didn’t care at all about the high price of uniforms; the adjutant made good time toward the fort, the seargant began to throw up breastworks with his bay onet, and the major rolled over The ground and groaned. In two or three minutes there was a puff of, smoke, a dull thud, and the mule— oh! where was he ? A solitary jack ass might have been seen turning successive back-somersaults over the bluff, only to rest at anchor, finally, with his howitzer at the bottom of the river, while the ball went off to ward the fort, hit the chimney in the major’s quarters, rattled the adobe bricks down into the parlor, fright ened the major’s wife into convul sions. They do not allude to it now, Miss Amelia M. Ptifvis, of Mount yernon, was awakened on 12 o’clock on Saturday night by a noise at her bedroom window. Looking in that direction she observed one man- crawling in her room, closely follow ed by another. Instead of giving the traditional scream, Miss Purvis re mained perfectly qiilei- and awaited developments. The first man crawl ed noiselessly under the bed. The second man tiptoed to her room door and began to examine it. Miss Pur vis slipped out of bed, seized a bay rum bottle and. smashed it over the intruder’s head. He dropped. She gathered him up by the hair, and dragged him to the window. Hot a word was spoken. The fellow under this mode of treatment recovered his senses and leaped out. The scoundrel under the bed did not stir. He no doubt believed that his presence there was not known. Having disposed of the first fellow. Miss Purvis took a small tin trum pet from her bureau drawer, and stooping down, at the same time turning the gas slightly on, she pre sented the small end of the trumpet at the crouching form of the thor oughly terrified man under the bed, and said : See here, young man, you have been there long enough. Just scram ble out instantly, or I will blow you into the middle of next week. ” He did not wait for a second invi tation. Miss Purvis kept him cov ered with the trumpet, and fearing that his time had come, he made a lively shake for the window and went out like £r Arrow. In hi3 hur ry he lost a pair of false side whisk ers before he reached the window. Having met with this misfortune his disguise failed further to deceive the young lady. In the intruder she re cognized Abraham T. Wilson, a dis carded lover. Miss Purvis said nothing of her adventure more thafi to satisfy in quiries next, morning about the rum pus in her room, explaining . that she had broken a bay-rum bottle. But the first thing she did yesterday morning was to purchase a cowhide. Yesterday afternoon she met the ob ject of her search in Central Mount Vernon, and without a word of ex planation, began to lay the instru ment upon Abraham’s back. Abra ham started to tud, but Miss Purvis seized him with her left hand and held him fast. He screamed and swore, and begged and demanded an explanation, but down came the instrument of torture. “Down on your knees, sir,” Aaid Miss Purvis, “and ask my pardon for your gross conduct last night.” No sooner said than done.. Down went the terrified scapegrace en hi 8 knees in the mad and water, and prhyed her to be mercifuk He acknowledge the intrusion, and promised never to trouble her again by his tongue or his presence. A few weeks ago Wilson’s name was stricken off Miss Parvis’ list of visitors. It is said that he circula ted stories damaging to her charac ter, and apon doubt being expressed as to the truthfulness of his asser tions, he made a bet that he could gp into her room at night.

The last, and, the Mongrel edition Of Webster’s Dictionary is receiving the contempt and rejection which it richly deserVeS. ‘ WC are glad to see that Worcester’s Dictionary, which in scholarly profundity and correctness, is in every way the su perior of Webster’s, is being adopt ed bjr .boards of education all over the country. A late number of the Atlanta Sun has the following on this Btlbject: . , .. “We are glad to chronicle the fact that the Board of Education has adopted Worcester's Dictionary for Public Schools. For a long time Webster’s Dictionary was consider ed the standard, and, notwithstand ing it had some serious defects, that recognized supremacy, might. have been fetained for the work for many years, but for the fact that its pub lishers, in their late edition, have Converted it into a political text-book for the Radical School of. Politicians, The Compilers of the last edition of Webster have introduced into the body of the work, such slaUg words as ‘locofoco’and‘copperhead.’ The first is defined ‘a member of the Democratic,’and the last ‘a North ern sympathizer,with-'the Southern rebellion;’ while the word ‘scalawag’ has no political significance given to it, and ‘carpet-bagger’ is not found ra the work.” In this last Mongrel edition, the definition of “Congress,” and ’all such words as “State,*’ “Constitu tion" and “Compact,”, have been changed from all former editiqns in such a manner as to make the work a mere partisan text-book. It has lost all claim to being considered as a Dictionary ofthe English language. It has become a Dictionary of the slang language of the nigger party. In the former edition of the work, Congress was defined as follows: “The Assembly of Senators and Representatives of the United States, according to the present Constitu tion or political compact, by which they arc united in u, Federal Repub lic." But in this last Mongrel edition it has been changed to read as follows: “The Assembly of Senators and Representatives of the people of a nation—especially of a Republic, tor the purpose of enacting laws and considering matters of National tfi- terest, and constituting the chief legislative body of the nation.”. In this’ Mongrel edition the words “United .States” have been changed to*“NatioH,” and to another line “Federal Republic” is stricken out, and the “Nation” substituted in its place. We have before called attention to this base partisan trick of trying to Convert a dictionary into a ‘vile partisan text-bpok. But fraud has rebounded upon the heels of publish ers Who have been guilty it, for Worcester’s Dictionary is every where crowding Webster’s out of use. Even the strongest Radical,” if he has any respect for the lan guage of his country, or for the proper education of his children, must despise this effort to pervert the meaning of words in the interest of a political party. No fair minded scholarly man, Certainly, would per mit his son or daughter to goto a school where the last edition of Web-. ster’s Dictionary is in use. And, besides these vile partisan defects, Webster’s Dictionary is far behind Worcester’s as an authority in pro nuneiatioa and orthography. In deed in all respects, Worcester’s is immeasurably the best work. At any rate, the Democrat who allows the nigger edition ol Webster’s a place in his house deserves a. flog ging.

London, February 16.—The case submitted to the Geneva Board of Ar bitration by the counsel of Great Bril- ian in regard to the Alabama claims .has been laid before Parliament and is published. Tbe document is divided into ten parts. Pail I. Remarks that no definite cor omplete siatement statement of the American claims has ever bi eii fur nished. The, Treaty of Washington und previous correspondency will sup ply, however, i. general definition of the demands made by the United States. . ;. ; - Rule 2 of article 6 of the Treaty of Washington ia quoted as follows ,l A neutral government is bound not to permit or suffor either belligerent to make use of its ports or waters as a base of naval operations against the' other, or for tbe purpose of renewal or augmentation of military supplies dr arms or the recruitment of mea. - ” This rule is interpreted as prohibit ing the supply of viflir- waging vessels from neutral ports, but as not pro hibitory of the sale of arms or muni tions of wnr in the ordinary conrso' commerce. The claims submitted arc for damn gea growing out of the acts of vessels respecting which the United States al lege that Great Britian failed in her international duty. If it decides there has been such failure then it must award a gross bww for damage* or de fine the limit of liabili'y for the gnid ance of the assessors of said damages Tbe circumstances of the sailing thefiteamer Alabama, Florida, Geor gia and Shenandoah were materially dissimilar; bat Great Britain main tains that in respect to none of them ha* she failed of her international ob ligations, or rendered herself justly liable. Part II. gives a history of the civil ir in the United States showing hat^he course of England and the maritime Powers was one of vigilant and scrupulous neutrality. Part III. makes a statement isf inter national rights and duties, of the laws f England bearing thereon, and of tbe faithful performance and execu tion thereof by Great Britain daring tbe war. Also gives a detailed account of the action of Minister Adams and Earl Russell to prevent tha departure of the rebel cruisers. PanlY. shows the limits of the. power possessed by the British Govern ment to prevent such departures. Part V., VL, VIL.and VIII„ respec tiveV, present in detail the facts rela tive to the steamer* Florida, Alabama, G-Oi'gia and Shenandoah. Pari. I3£ sets forth tlbat the Meam era Georgia and Shenandoah were never equipped for war in the 'British dominions. Her' li qeaty's Govern ment was only informed respecting these vessels after their dtparttpe. The Alabama and Florida even did not receive iheir armaments in British dominions. The peculiar circumstances of tbe Alabama’s escape are recited, and En gland's vigilant endeavor* to prevent her sailing, aa well as America’s fail ure in the attempt to capture her, are insisted upon. Part X. complains of disadvantages under which Great Britain labor* ia meeting an nnpreeented caae. The document concludes as follow*: ‘‘While England regret* tbe depart ure of rebel -cruisers from her port*, •be cannot acknowledge the justice of the claims against her for pecuniary damage* for their £acts. ihe United State* mast solidly establish the fact of England's negligence. England is ready to accept tlie award of the Tri bunal of Arbitration; whether favora ble or unfavorable.
