m abated, and another attempt was made. As the boats moved up, instead of seeing the expected cavalry, they were saluted by heavy volleys of musketry from the river-banks. The enemy proving too strong, the party was obliged to return to the vessel. At the same time, Lieutenant King, of Colonel Jourdan's staff, with a body of men in boats, moved up Bear Inlet: he found and burned one of the vessels sought, together with its cargo of salt and leather. He returned to the gunboat, bringing with him forty-three negro refugees. The whole expedition arrived at Beaufort on the morning of the twenty-sixth ultimo, without the loss of a man. Great credit is due Colonel Jourdan and the officers and men of his command, together with the officers and men of the navy, for the efficient service performed. The Commanding General tenders his thanks especially to Colonel Jourdan, Captain Cuff, and Lieutenant King, of the army, and to Commander Dove and Lieutenants Huse and Cowie, of the navy.

y puffs of air was first realized by Dr. Robinson, and his device was the first and simplest form of the siren. A stop-cock was so constructed that it opened and shut the passage of a pipe 720 times in a second. Air from the wind-chest of an organ being allowed to pass along the pipe during the rotation of the cock, a musical sound was smoothly uttered. It was much improved by Cagniard de la Tour in 1827, who gave it its present name, and it has since been improved by Opelt, Seebeck, and Dove. In its original form it consists of a cylindrical box, into which a blast of air is introduced through an aperture in the bottom, while the top is perforated by a series of equidistant apertures arranged in a circle. A circular plate, similarly perforated, turns freely on its center, nearly in contact with the top of the box, alternately opening and closing the airpassages in the latter. The apertures are so inclined as to most effectually impart a rotary motion to the disk; and when air

, he never went abroad without bringing back pictures, engravings, or rare missals. He had little natural apprehension of music, but used to express his admiration of some favorite operas, among them Mozart's Don Giovanni and Rossini's Barbiere di Seviglia. In the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, of which he was chairman for many years, his acquaintance with foreign languages was much valued. I remember a line of Tasso which he sometimes quoted when beautiful hands were spoken of:— Dove ne nodo appar, ne vena eccede. On the other hand, I have heard him say that mathematics always remained a sealed book to him; and that his professor at Harvard once exclaimed, Sumner, I can't whittle a mathematical idea small enough to get it into your brain. The period between 1851 and the beginning of the civil war found Mr. Sumner at his post in the Senate of the United States. His position was from the outset a difficult one. His election had displaced a popular idol. His views reg
