London, Dec. 13.—A itorj comes from Dorsetshire of the revenge of an enraged parent for a distasteful marriage contract ed by hie son. The father is tbe rector of one of the moat aristocratio churches in the aouthof Ejglaud. HU soa fell in love with hit cousin, an orphan, who re sided at the rectory, and proposed mar riage. There teems to have bden no seri ous objection to the match except the un reasonable oppoeitiou of tbe rector, but he was inexorable. At length the young people eloped aud were married 'lecretly,' but ia strict accordance with legal requirements, by a dissenting minister whose chapel Is does to the church. When the rector learned ol the clandestine marriage he became fu riously angry. The offenders, however, were beyond his reach, and he rented bis spite by shooting tbe favorite horses and dogs which bis ion had left at the rectory. The London newspapers print the facts in the case to-day, but without stating the names of the parties. In their editorial comments, however, they apply to tha rec- t >r the newly coined term “atrocitist,” and stigmatize him as a ferocious savage. An appeal U also made to tbe Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to have tbe rector indicted and punished for bis crime. A Temperance Prsaohsr Killed by Whisky.

He waa a brainy utan and a good speller. ft -culd ill-become me at tbia late day to crlticiae Mr. Webster'a great work—a work tbat la now in almoat every lihrarv, achool-ro tnt and counting house in the land.

Webtter, became it may seem egotistical in me to point ont the good points in my literary labors; bnt I nave niton beard it said, and so do not state It solely upon my own responsibility, tbat Mr. Webster'a book does not retain tbe interest of the readet all the way throngb. Me has tried to introduce too many characters, and so we cannot follow them all the way through. It ia a good book to pick up and while away an idle it, hour with, perhaps, bnt no one would cling to it at night till tbe fire went out, chained to the thrilling plot end the glow ing career of the hero. Therein oonsista the great difference be tween Mr. Webster and myself. A friend of mine at bing Sing once wrote me that from the moment he got bold of nty book he never left his room until he finished it. He seemed chained to tbe spot, he said, and if you can’t believe a convict, who is entirely ont of politics, who in the name of Oeorce Washington can yon believe? Mr. Webster was most assuredly a bril liant writer, and I have discovered in bis later editions 118,000 words, no two of which are alike. Thlsshows great fluency and versatility, it is true, bnt we need something else. Tbe reader waits in vain to be thrilled by tbe author's wonderful painting. There ia not a thrill in tbe whole tone. 1 bad heard so much of Mr. Webster tbat when I read his book I con feta I waa dtaappoluted. It ia cold, nielli-' odlcal.aud dlapasslonate in Ihe extreme. As I said, however, it ia a good book to pick np for tbe purpose of whiling away an idle moment, and no one should start out on a long journey without Mr. Web ater’a (ale in bis pocket It baa broken the monotony of many a tedious trip for me. Mr. Webster’a ‘‘Speller'’ waa a work of lets pretentions, perhaps, and yet it had an immense sale. Eight years ago this book bad reached a sals of 40.000,000 and yet it bad the tame grave defect It waa disconnected, cold, prosy aud dull. Tread it for years, and at last became a close stu dent of Mr. Webster’s style, and yet I nev er found bat one thing in hie book, for which there seems to have been each a peifect stampede, tbat waa even ordlnarially inteteetins and that was a little gem. It waa to thrilling in iu details, and sodlametrically different from Mr. Webs er'a style, that thaveoiten won dered who he got to write it for him. It rela'ed to tits discovery of a ‘boy by an elderly gentlemen in tbe crotch of an an cestral apple tree, and tbe feellngol bitter ness ami animosity tbat sprang np at that tints between tbe boy an J the elderly gen tlentan. Tnough I have been a clou student of Mr. Webster for yean, I am free to say, and l do not with to do an injustice to a great man in doing ao, tbat bis Ideas of literature and my own are entirely dissim ilar. Possibly bis book baa had a little laraer sate than mine, but tbat makes no difference. When I write a b tok it must engage tbe interest of tbe reader, and show some plot to it. It most not be jerky In its stylo and scattering In its statements. I know it ia a great temptation to write a book tbat will sell, bnt wu should have a Matter object than Utah 1 do not Irish to do an Injnadce to a man who baa dona so roach f .r tbe world, and one wbo could spell Ihe longest word with out besilatlon, bat I speak of Uteu thing!

Biu. Nve. Humor, Wts., Dec. 0. A Torpedo Boat In Act on. Translated from the Puls Fig ant for Uta New Orleans Times Democrat, Tha combat commsnces. The vessels of the fleet have opened Are. Shells rsin in all directions. One of oar cruisers, can nonaded heavily on tha starboard slda by a fort monntlng twelve Krnpp cannon, u simultaneously attacked on tbe larboard side by ooa of tha enemy's iron clads. She lisa already anffrrrd severely, and her po sition becomes critical. A mast sign al from tbe admiral'e ship is siren; and a torpedo boat starts. The watchful enemy bas observed tbe signal. Ha knows tbe danger; and et once concentrates all bis fire upon tbe little gray speck which ia shooting rspldlj toward him. Three mllrs separate mem; and the torpedo bos! tpnst make that thru miles in ten minutes. If It is not sunk before it nas traversed that distance, the iron clad is lost. Therefore the cannoneers point their guns with the most scrupulous care. The first shells pan wide of the mark; bnt the tint is rectified; and seen the shells tall ao near the torpedo boat tbat they throw tbe water over it Now one hu fallen right at iu plow. A geyser Jet of water thirty feet high conceals the torpe do boat; the enemy believes it bts been sunk, and utter a tremendous cbear. Bnt tbe projectile has only richocbetted. and passed over it The water fails back tn rain; and tbe brave little vessel reappears; all streaming with brine as though ft had emerged from tbe sea-dee pa. and rushing on at toll steam in tha face of death. There ara only nine men on the little Teasel; and they are going to attack a sort of leviathan carrying an Immense crew. It ia not tba fight of ooe against ten, bnt of ooe agafnat a hundred. Not a single word it attend beyood the necessary orders. Thou men whom death already touches with his finger an silent and grave. And do not suppose for a moment that they do not think of the danger. On tbe oontrery, they think of nothing else. Bnt it is not of their own danger they are thinking, bat of the danger of failure. Ilia not a question of their lives, but of theaneceuof tbe enter prise. ft la essential tbat tba torpedo boat shall reach tha enemy’s flank, and rescue our cruiser. After that, if tha tor pedo boat sinks, ao much tbe worse I Every nerve ia strained, every eye ia di- ratted toward tba object fn view....Now the boat Is only five hundred yards away from tha into dad. Tba fire of tba mit railleuses mingles with the shower of •halls, end sweeps tha deck; everything wooden la splintered to atoms with grape •hot. * An fnceesant fire of reputing ri fles from tbe milt tops of the froo clad plays over the torpedo boat; and tha balls, entering through the law openings in the deck, have already disabled thru men. They lie in a comer to which they were able to dreg themulvu; for there is no time now to attend to them. They may be tbonght of In two minutes more- after the fate of all ahall hare been decid ed. The torpedo boat hu aloaoet reached its enemy. The success of the expedi tion is now assured; for tha shell batteries are powarlua to harm the torpedo boat at •rich abort range The rifle fire, terrible as It is. cannot sink bar; it can only kill •cote of her crewbat that i* of no great cposcqaencal... Now ia tha time when tha captain needs all his surety of aye and coolness of will; now !i the time that hla men moat execute orders with tba rapidity of lightning ;-for if Um torpedo • e fired a second too soon Itwill fall to do Its terrible duty; and yet if there be a de lay of a moment, the torpedo boar must dtsb itself lo pieces against the sides of its mighty adversary. Now the boat teams almost ready to touch tbe enemy's vessel. H and grenades flung upon her deck, rebound ami burst, one man it killed; the captain has re ceived a horrible wound in tbe face; but summoning all bis strength, he supports himself erect egolnst tho iron wall, by n sublime effort of will. Livid, drenched w.th blood bnt terrible in bla calm resolve end bravery, he keeps his eye still upon the enemy. —"Re<uly!....Let her go ! I!.... The awlul missile is launched. An enormone surge appears in the water; and a frightful crackling noise is beard, followed by a terrible cry of distress. Ihe pigmy has conquered the giant. —“Hard a itarboard!” And tbe little vessel, suddenly wheeling around, stesms away at full speed while Ihe enemy’s iron clad sinks to tbe bot tom. Ten minutes afterward tbe torpedo boat baa returned toils post besloe tbe admi ral's vesselute admiral sends for the captain in order to congratulate him. He is carried to him upon a bier. Meanwhile tbe fight goes on. A new expedition may prove necessary. A provisory captain is at once appointed, and four men to com plete the decimated crew; and tbe torpe do boat la ready to fulfil another mission; it has another band of heroes to direct Vnssar cIris' Slang. A wicked reporter who hu invaded tbe sanctity of Vaasar College thus writes of tbe slang talk and other peculiarities of tbe sweet girl students; Vaasar girls have a peculiar phraseolo gy o( their own, as I noticed when I went to their annual ••I’bll" on Friday evening, by invitation of a tempting ‘'cousin." In addition to the ordinary slang of girlhood, their vocabulary ia atill fanner extender. I gazed wonderingly and rather vacuously, perhaps, when my consin said: "Look at tbat cow! What do you think of its lace?" I coaid not see any cow, but only an extremely pretty girl, with some trana- parent, interwoven fluffy stuff around her nerk. Later, I iound tbat in the Vav sar girl’s classification all males arc "men" and all females ’ cows,” with tho nsnal In- tentive adjectives strung before. Not withstanding ber talka'ive independence, tbe Vaster girl always belongs to some boys’ college in soui. Secretly she envies her brother or ber churn’s brother.
