IIow She Stopped It.
An exchange says the subject of bor
rowing and lending came up in the
course, of a conversation with one of its
subscribers the other day, when he sud
denly recollected ai funny reminiscence
of that character which had happened
in his own neighborhood. He said he
had a neighbor whose family were great ,
borrowers, but not bo. distinguished as
paymasters they were always borrow
ing, but seldom if "ever, returned the
exact amount borrowed. An old Quaker
lady, another neighbor, who had en
dured the.e invasions for a long time
patiently, hit upon a very philosophical
mode of eventually putting a stop to
the nuisance. Keepine her own eonn-
sel, the next time her good man went to
town, ne natt a Separate and express or
der to purchaseja pound of the best tea
and also a new canister to put it in. As
he knew she already had plenty of tea
aii iso a canister, ne was puzzled to
determine whatjthe old lady wanted of
more tea and a new canister, but hia
questionings and reasoninrs elicited
nothing more than a repetion of the
order. I
" Jim, did I not tell thee to cet me a
pound of the best tea and a new canis-
;er ? Isow go along and do as I bid
thee." I nii
And go along! he did, and when he
came home at night the tea and
canister were his companions.! Tire-old
lady took them; from him with an amus-
ea expression on ner usual piacia iea
tures, and depositing the tea in the
canister, set it on the shelf for a special
use. It had not long to wait, for the
borrowing neighbor had frequent use
for the aromatic herb. The ' good old
lady loaned generously, emptying back
in the canister any remittance of bor
rowed teas which the neighbor's con
science inclined her to make. Time
went on. and after something less than
the one hundredth time of borrowing.
the neighbor again appeared for "just
another drawing of tea, when the oft
visited tea canister waa brought out
and found to be empty, and, the good
old lady an obliging neighbor was just
one pound of tea poorer than when she
bought the new ; canister which now
only remained to tell the story. Then
she made a little characteristic speech,
perhaps the first in her life; she said:
"Thou seest that empty canister. 1
filled it for thee with a pound of my
best tea and I have lent it all to thee in
driblets and put in to it all i thon hast
sent me in return, and none but thyself
hath taken therefrom or added unto it,
and now thou seest it empty ; therefore
I will say to j;hee, thou hast borrowed
thyself out and! I can lend thee no
more !" '-j j i ! : ' I

A Railroad Seized
1 .
Armed Force.
!A railroad war of some magnitude has
been in progress at Youngstown, Ohio.
About a year ago the stockholders of the
Liberty and Xenia Railroad Company
sold that road to the Ashtabula,
Youngstown and Pittsburg Railroad
Company, receiving in payment part in
cash and part ic bonds of the latter
Company. Owing to some subsequent
' misunderstanding the matter waa taken
before the courts, and for the past four
or five months the Ashtabula, Youngs
town and Pittsbu j-g Railroad Company
hj.ve held control pf the former road by
virtue of an injunction which expired
lately, at which time there appeared
upon the premises two of the principal
stockholders of the Liberty and Xenia
road, with a larg force of men, who
.tore nphe track, cut the telegraph
wires, stopped all trains, took possession
of the rolling-stock, and are now in for
cible possession of the road with a force
of two to three (hundred armed men.
William McCreery, President, and other
officers of the Ashtabula, Youngstown
and Pittsbmrg road are now at Youngs
town, and it is reported that a special
train has left Pittsburg with reinforce
ments for McCreery, who is backed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Great excitement prevailed, and there
was imminent danger of a not.

Destroyed br an Earthquake.
,When the steamshio ' KL TnU 1ft
the port of Salvador there was a reoort
there that the City of San Salvador had
been destroyed by a great earthquake
onthe4thof March. The telegraph lines
to the port being down, no details could
be had when she was leavincr.
1 The City of San Salvador, situated on
a little stream flowing into the Pacific
Ocean, 105 miles southeast of Guate
mala, is about three miles from the
volcano of San Salvador. At various
times it has suffered greatly from earth
quakes, by one of which it was nearly
destroyed in 1659, and by another of
which it came near suffering a similar
fate in 1854. The city was well built,
ind contained several churches, a fine
Cathedral, and several convents. It had
a population of about 18,000 souls. In
1853 its inhabitants numbered about
30,000, but after the earthquake of
April 16, 1854, they fell to the number
mentioned above. I hen the Govern
ment of the republic of which it was
the capital laid out a -new city, called
iNuevo an oaivaaor, ten miles nearer
the sea, and transferred to it the seat of
government, but so large a number of
the inhabitants preferred the old place
that in 1855 it was again made the
capital.

The alleged mutinv on the Somera j
waa made public at tVaahington under j
circumstances tending to increase the '
natural horror consequent nixn such at
trsaction, without preoHient in the
annaln of the country. On the arrival!
of the vessel at New York Lieutenant :
Oansevoort, her executive officer.
waa
dispatched to
Washington, bearing a
ealed report
to the S-crttarr of the
Xm. Tie rearbMi thor n S.m.l
and hia awful intelligence waa not made
pubiic untUthe following dav. The citv
waa filled with startling nlmors an.'l
President Tjler without mentioning
the nature of the affair intimated that
something terrible would soon be re
vealed. Oansevoort disclosed no par
ticulars, but his obscure gi rings out
created general and profound conster
nation. On Monday the official aper
of the government published the official
account of the mutiny, and the oxecu
tion of Midshipman Spencer and two
of his alleged accomplices. - Mr. Spen
cer, the father of the young man, then
Secretary of the Treasury, was ver
whelmed with grief and horror. The
news came upon him suddenly, without
premonition. He was a tender and de
voted father. His son, a peculiar aud
perhaps wayward lad, was his favorite
child. He was f ull of cenius. not nn-
amiable in disposition, fond of study, '
and addicteJato curious speculation ;!
c- -
musing. The story of the mutiny and
the nefarious designs charged upon
young Spencer waa unsupported by any
evidence that would have carried con
viction to the mind of a competent
tribunal, Mackenzie attempted to
palliate his guilt by tho declaration that
the execution of the young man was
ordered for the reason that the influence
of his father would have screened him
aE7a. biiu a v 1 a v i i i
from punishment if he had been brought S
home for trial. In other words, he had j
hung Spencer and his associates because
of his apprehension that they would 1k :
acquitted if tried by a court having
authority to take cognizance of the .
accusation. , j
The trial of Mackenzie by court-mar- j
tial waa nothing but a solemn farce. It j
having been determined by the Navy
Department, under the influence of j
Commodore Perry and his associate
post-captains, that the discipline and
honor of the service required not only
the acquittal of the chief criminal and
his subordinates, but the formal ap- j
proval of their cruel and atrocious con
duct, it only remained to shape the court
and conform its decision aacordinglv.
There was a circumstance known to tfie
commanding officer of the receiving-"
ship Hudson which, if brought to the
public knowledge, would have made the
acquittal difficult, if not impossible.
When the Somers arrive! at New York
she was anchored in the lower bay,
communication with the .shore beinfr
strictly prohibited. Mackenzie visited
the Navy-yard, reporting his arrival to
the commanding officer. He then called
upon Captain Peck, in command of the
Hudson, reck end himself were or the
same grade in the service, and they were
on terms of familiar intimacy, having
been messmates on a former cruise.
Mackenzie gave his friend his version
of the Somers affair, horrifying him
with the statement of the mutiny and
the hanging of Midshipman Spencer
and two confederates in the crime. Peck
naturally innuired how many of the
mutineers were in irons on board the
vessel, and expressed his surpriso that
she had not been brought up to the
yard. Mackenzie replied that the mu
tinous crew were none 01 mem under
arrest ; that he had been able to subdue,
the insurrection ; and after the execu
tion it had not been found necessary to
confine any of the men. " What," ex
claimed Peck, a mutiny so entensive
and formidable as to justify hanging
an officer and two of his associates, and
nobody in irons 1 Mackenzie returned
immediately on board the Somers, and
seizing upon the first dozen of the men
upon .whom he could lay -his hands,
clapped them in irons. The fact never
came to the Knowledge of the court,
and it was carefully suppressed in the
published accouts of the transaction.
ITesident Tyler, a warm-hearted and
sympathetic man, appreciating the feel
ings of Mr. Spencer and his family, and
anxious 10 aueviaie ineir sunenngs so
far as lay in his power, commissioned
a gentleman in his confidence to tender
the secretary the place of minister to
Russia. It seemed, to Mr. Tyler the
most suitable mode of relieving the be
reaved father and his family to give him
the opportunity of leaving a position
where every thing tended to keep alive
and exasperate their misery. A change
of scene ne thought calculating to blunt
the edge of their sufferings, and divert
their minds from the contemplating of
cruel and atrocious crime of which the
son of their hopes had been made the
victim.
Mr. Spencer expressed his gratitude
for the kindness of the President in
warm terms, and requested his agent to
make his acknowledgments for the
thoughtful 'consideration which had
prompted the offer, and to say that he
would prepare to depart on his mission
at the earlest poasib e moment.
A week or more elapsed without the
President hearing from, Mr. Spanoer.

hardly be classed under the Lead of
"pastime," especially if the boy ia
fond of exercise the" day before. And it
is a little singular that the next hardest
thing to getting a bov out of" ld i
getting him into it. There i rarely a
mother who i a auccesa at rousing a
hoy. All mother know this ; o do
their boys. And yet the mother sterns
to go at "it in the right way. She open
the door, and insinuatingly observes,
"Johnny! There i no rpone.
"John-rp" Still no rejone. Then
there is a short, sharp "John ! fol
lowed a moment later by a prolontrnl
and emphatic " John Henry. A grunt
from the upper regions aigniaea thai an
impression naa been made, and the
mother is encouraged to add, "You'd
better be getting down here to your
breakfast, young man, before I come nr
there an give you something you'll
fecL" Thia so startles the young man
that he immediately goes to sleep again.
And the operation" has to be rrpeated
several times, A father knows nothing
about thia trouble. He merely open
his mouth aa a soda bottle eject it
cork, and the "John Henry" that
cleaves the air of that alairwty goes
into that boy like TcC rieity, and
pierces the deepest rpe-.a of bi very
nature. And he pops oiof that bed
and into his clotLeaVnd" down the
stairs with - a promptness that is com
mendable. It ia rarely boy allows
himself to disregard the paternal sum
mons. About once a year ia believed
to be a often as ia consistent with the
rules of health. He saves Li father a
great many step by his thoughtf nines.
