Death of Admiral Farragtit. On Sunday, August 14, at noon, Admiral Farragut died at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The community will learn of the event with deep-felt sorrow. Of all the men who came out of the war with honor, he had the fewest enemies the fewest critics. To him the entire country conceded without a dissenting voice the overflowing measure of national gratitude. No one questioned his personal purity, his personal courage, his great skill, the success of his plans, the value of his services, or the patriotism which inspired him throughout his entire life.
Shamefully Treated.
The Journal has broken the solemn compact entered into by them with the Express to go into the "tickling business"—that is, "You tickle us, and we will tickle you," and we will both give the GAZETTE an awful "old rattling." In speaking of the editor of tliis paper, the Journal says: lie has labored here, i'or many years ns tho rcry head find front of the opposition to Democracy, and it illy bocomos tlio young up-starts now controlling the antiquated Express concern to fix his political status as a member of the party he has boon lighting for a quarterof a century.
Now this is a clear case of "breach of trust," and it is wrong to call that spooney over there an "upstart," for he can step higher and quicker, and look wiser than any man since the times of Webster. And to see him going down street making the sidewalk echo with his cane, and his hat setting a little "nor' east by nor'," one would suppose that the fate of the Nation depended upon the few lines he writes once every twenty-four hours. Don't do so any more, Journal', you will worry the life out of the "little fellow first Forrest and then you. Now quit!
On tho Beach.
How innocent some folks are, to be sure. Who would think of standing around and watching the "fat girls" as they come out of the water? But as there is one man mean enough to do so, we will give our readers the benefit of what lie says about it. He ventilates the matter as follows "Tho girls at Long Branch are like tho girls of tho world in gonoral. They are slightly mixed. Somo are I0V0I3*, but some aro, on the contrary quite tho reverse. There's more hair down here than would cover tho heads of all tho women in New York, and powder and paint enough to make tho houses of Jersey City glisten again.
Did you over soe a thin girl tako a hath in the surf and come out with lier bathing dress sticking tight to her like a poor woman's plaster?
Funny, wasn't it Well,"its nothing compared to a fat girl in tho same posish. I do think of all the comical sights in tho wide world tho funniest is a fat girl when she comes out of the surf. I've seen puppy dogs with blue ribbons on their tails, and neatly embroidered flannel shirts on their dear little necks, and I have seen Horace Greely at a party, but they aro as naught, and the dust in tho balance along side of a wet fat woman in her bathing clothes.
I don't think men look any bettor, but wo do not expect grace and beauty in our sex and can stand the sight. If "you aro vory much in lovo with a girl, and want to broalc t'he spoil, tako her to tho Branch and see her in the surf toggery.
If that don't knock the spooney out of you, you had better marry her and call it squaro."
THE OLD STORY.—Every day or two, we hear of little collisions between some of our combative people who seem over anxious to be shedders of blood. Now, oh! ye belligerent ones! do stop—for awhile at least. It is not your time, just now. The French and Prussians have the field. Lot them do all the lighting this warm weather. Besides, the time is not propitious for the increase of your fame. People are willing to accord to you pluck, and courage, and all that sort of thing, and admire your heroism but then, you sec, the noise of your battles may, possibly, not be heard amidst the rumbling thunders of Saarbruck and Weissenburg. So, wait awhile, and the people will give you their attention.
THE Des Moines Register says: "The Iowa Capitol Commissioners have recently been on a tour of inspection to several of the Eastern States. When they went to Albany, New York, the dignitaries there were disposed to treat them with the respect due to their positions. To begin with, they invited them to one of the principal restaurants of the city, and, entering the department where orders were left for liquors, the Albany spokesman turned to the Iowa gentlemen and asked what they would have. With a great deal of blushing, hesitating, hemming and hawing, one of the portly Westerners replied that he didn't think any of his party could drink anything stronger than lemonade. The^ astonishment of the New \orkeratthis response found expression in the following characteristic remark 'Well, gentlemen, if you think you are going to build a State House in Iowa on lemonade, you'll be d—bly mistaken.'

CINCINNATI, August 1G.—The Executive German Aid Committee will forward as the "first installment, to-day, $2,-500 to the North German Government.
In an inverview with a reporter Archbishop Purcell states that, without wish to be offensive to the many Germans of the church, he could not conceal his sympathy with France, and trusted she may yet recover and conquer. Relative to the Annunciated Dogma of Infallibility His Grace expressed the opinion that it would not be proclaimed until the close of the business of the programme, which at present rate of progression will be an unknown time.
He coincided with the Arch Bishop of Paris, that the Decree would not be binding until the Council shall have closed and the Pope shall have proclaimed it under the signatures of the Bishops. But, if the people arc infallible, as he considers himself to be, he will do as he pleases. He believes the Annunciation will not be attended with extraordinary services, but will merely be ofiieially announced and published.
It is stated that it was understood the Jesuits in Cologne had refused absolution to persons declining to acknowledge infallibility before its proclamation and had been assured in their action by. letters from Rome.

War Jfews—Rumor of the Defeat of the S'rtissians Kot Reliable Two Great Battles FonfjUt on Snnday—Speenlations About the Fight.
LONDON, August 16, A. M.—The Daily News in its issue of this morning contains a telegraphic dispatch from its correspondent at the neutrality at Leuxumburg, which says: A great battle was fought jresterday. The whole line of the German army was defeated. The correspondent adds, however, that though his information had been received at Leuxumburg through a somewhat creditable course, it needs confirmation. No later advices have been telegraphed relative to the affair.
The Telegraph believes that two great battles were fought on Sunday. One at Pange, eight miles east of Metz, and the other at Langeville. The first encounter occurred before the French had drawn off their forces to cross the Mozelle, by the bridges connecting with the works of Metz. The Prussians assailed the French rear guard furiously and attacking them by the flank and rear.
