A HURRICANE IN THE CRIMEA. Within a week after the battle of In- kermann a storm of terrific violence awept. over the Black Sea, producing indscribable confusion among the ships of war and the hurricus which transporte.
The bad camed the disasters on the sea produced consequences even more terrible on the land It came rushing over the plateau on which the greator part of the English army was stationed,

Awl very early reached the Day of Judgment, Like Lannert, în guest of Holy" Grail,
From Western Beerebeba to Yankee Dan I've been a aceker, yet I sadly fail
To find the genuins type American Where is the object of my youthful wonder, Who met me in the pace of Sam Slick! Who opred rery sentence with By thunder,.
And whittled always on a bit of stick. The moro thucrowd of friendsarand thiokens, The Is my chance to meet bin seems to be; Why did he felprabow himself to Dickens,
To Dixon, Bila, Trellope, not ta musi? No one accostame with the words, Wa'al stranger;
Greete mer Festive Juan, orshouts Qd Noan ! No grini six-cooter thrusters me with danger,
If I don't quickly pass the butter, bits.
No brandy anaal myomrning hon: benets, And petticoat are worn by all the lasses, And the piston don't wear pantuletten.
The Indica, when you ¿ffer chicken Salad,
Don't by, fit pretty croioded now, I guam; "They don't sily tire. Barney Williams bulads
Of" Bebbing Bound,” vor add fièr-co to yes. I, too, have sal, like overy other follow;
In many a railway, omaníbun, street one:
No girl bag anked me with a force umbrella,
And said, You git; I mean to sit right thar. Gone are the Yankees of my curly cendiums! Faded the Tankee kind of suger puesta! I meet with culture, conrteay, 2001 brording, Art, lettera, men and women of the bort, Oh! fellow Betons, al my gs are undone
