MARINE. Fat in With Damages. London, March 31. The bark Chat ham, Wilmington, N. C, for Rotter dam, which was abandoned by the crew and a prize crew put on board by the steamer St. Louis, arrived at Fal mouth to-day with the I033 of her bul warks, sails, jib boom, and spanker-boom. borrowing and had only fifty cents, he must have forgotten he owned one- third of Emma Mine. He was doubt ful until 70 whether it was worth any thing. . The following is from the War De partment investigation examination f District Attorney Dyer : Q. You haye received the testimo ny of Mr. Bell as printed in last night's Star. Is it correct ? A. Substantially, as far as I am concerned, it is; Bell said when he came to St. Louis he met me at my house. It was at Eaton's house. He was our assistant counsel, but was not used as a witness in St. Louis because Luckey was not put on the stand. The defense summoned both Luckey and Bradley, but did not put them on the stand, and for this reason it was that Bell was not used in rebuttal. Note. The evidence alluded to is substantially the Bame as telegraphed last night.- - House. The House proceeded to the consideration, as a special order, of the bill reported by Reagan, of Texas, from the Committee on Com merce, to amend the laws concerning commerce and navigation, and the regulation of steam vessels. After a three hours discussion in regard to fog horns, steam cocks, valves, lights, larboard and starboard courses, and other matters about which none of the members participating in seemed to have much information, and as there was an equal lack of interest in, as of knowledge of, the subject, the further consideration of the bill was postpon ed till next Saturday. Robinson, of Indiana, offered a reso lution reciting the allegation that Hor ace Boynton, Clerk of the House-Com mittee on Military Affairs, has been guilty of corrupt and base practices while an officer of the Internal Reye nue Bureau in Texas, and directing that cemmittee to investigate the facts : adopted. Adjourned. Miss Cook, whom the Indian Com missioner Smith had settling his affairs with the Indians, contradicts the evidence of the Indian Beaulien. One was a girl, young, petted, sur rounded with luxury, having "fed on the roses and lain in the lillies of life," and one was a scholar, trained in many tongues, full of sweetness and light, and one was a woman of science and skill, with a purpose and a career, and one was a young daughter, with life all before her, and one was a wife and one was a husband, with their consecrated past. And there sat they, in the midst of the night, going down slowly into the shrouding waters, calm, prayerful, conquering death. And as the waters rose around them they arose, still holding each others hands. And so, weak, helpless, they were engulfed in the awful depths, butjSublimely triumphant, they passed out into the unseen universe. It is character that prevails. What odds whether it is music or medicine or costume or colour, a man's unencum bering'garb or a woman's multitudi nous drapery that has occupied the mind, if so be it can encounter the vicissitudes of life with fortitude and face death with tranquility ! Historical. The days of the Legis lature draw nigh unto an end, and the wives of the members are rejoicing to nave their prodigals safe at home again. Most of them will come back rather the worse for wear ; late hours and late suppers, and unlimited toddys rapidly take the country edge of the most methodical men ; but as a class they have learned something by con tact with the political world, and their wives will be the happier for the ex perience. For instance, many of them went to Richmond with a con viction of infallibility which the Pope never dreamt of, and with a pride of opinion which was perfectly impreg nable; now they have found out that there are several sides to every question, and hereafter will not be apt to slam the door because tho old lady lays claim to a mind of her own. Each and every one of these gentle men has acquired a wealth of reminis censes with which to enliven the domestic fireside ; and for fifty years to come as they stretch their feet over the fire place, and draw a parlia mentary whiff of tobacco smoke they will evince a little pomp of man ner and and rotundity of voice as they tell for the hundredth time some story that begins, "When I was in the General Assembly in the year 1876 1" Pet.
