We'll throw in the vexation of being broke of our rest, and the wickedness of . using certain expletives—under the exeitement of the occasion—which are not to be found in any of the religious works of the day. — oe oe ARRRIVAL OF THE UNCLE SAM, Cholera on Board. 110 DEAD OF 650 ON BOARD! The Nicaragua steamship Uncle Sam agrived in port on Friday morning, (Sept. 14,) at § o’elock. Col Walker had quict and peaceable possession of the town of San Juan, haying landed and taken it on the 28th of August. His forces were increased by the accession of a number of volunteers from the Northern Light, who preferred the chances of fame and fortune under Col. Walker, to the hopes of success that had led them towards the golden shores of California. We are indebted to Mr. Henry Loben. WHOLE NO 280. Snoring. An anecdote was well told, some years ago, of a polite Southerner, an accomplished and kind hearted gentleman. On one occasion he had been driving hard from morning tiil night, over the rough roads in the neighborhood of Columbia, S, C., and alighted at the only comfortable looking tavern in the place, very hungry and very tired. Sticking his eyeglass to his eye—his constant companion, he being very near sighted—he demanded a roast fowl, some good wine and a comfortable room for the night. The landlord was “exceedingly sorry,” but he “‘couldn’t give him a comfortable room; the only place he eould have to sleep in was a double-bedded room with another gentleman.” “Very well, sir, let us have the best you’ve got. No man can do more than . that. After discussing his supper, he sough his room, turned in, and went to sleep His slumbers were destined to be of a very /short duration. Before long he was awakened by a call from the other bed—‘‘Sir! Sir!” . “Bless my soul!?’ cried D , thrust. ing his glass up to his eye, and endeavor. ing to peer through the dark, “‘what’s the . matter, my dear sir? Is the house on fire, or are there bugs in your bed?” “Neither, sir; but, my dear sir, you snore so terribly that I cannot sleep, sirIt is terriflic, sir !”’ “Bless me, my dear sir; I am shocked that I should have been so rude as to snore in a gentleman’s presence, and he a stranger tome. I really ask your pardon, sir, and beg you'll overlook it. It wasn’t intentional, I assure you,” The apology was accepted, a ‘‘Good. night” exchanged, and both parties went to sleep again. It was not long, however, before a rumbling sound was heard from the polite gentleman’s bed, every moment growing louder, until at last it ended in a thunderous diapason. The other lodger driven almost to madness, started up and exclaimed: “Good gracious! This is too much! I can’t stand it! T-say;sir!-str/ sir!!! wake up sir !” stein, a passenger on the Unele Sam, for the followiug information in regard to the cholera ou the Uncle Sam, on her trip to this port. There was no cholera on the steamer on the other side, nor was there any among the passengere while on the Isthmus; and particular care was taken to prevent them cating fruit, or dissipating in any way to render them liable to sickness. Nevertheless; at Castillo Rapids, some of the steerage passengers were taken-with a suspicious looking diarrhea. On arriving at San Juan del Sur, the passengers passed through an old hulk, on which—as was reported—some of Col. Walker’s men were lying sick with the cholera. It was necessary to pass through this hulk to get to the boats which carried the passengers to the steamer. The report that there was cholera there induced some of the passengers to hire private skiffs as a conveyance to the steamer. When the steamer left San Juan the symptoms of the cholera appeared very plainly, and the disease soon began to rage with great vehemence. At first the presence of the discase was concealed from the cabin passengers as much as possible, but the number of deaths was soon so great that concealment was impossible. The surgeon reports 110 deaths. The report current among the passengers, and some of the officers of the vessel, was, that 210 had diced. The death of 110 would show that one out of six had fallen a vietim. Since writing the above, we are assured . by several sources that not less than 290 persons died on the trip. One passenger} who spent every day on deck, and kept! count of the bodies thrown over during the daytime, and made inquiries as to the. bodies thrown over at night, sayshis count was 207. Mr. Lobenstein tells us that . the Surgeon said the deaths were 210. An officer of the vessel said the deaths were over 200. The Surgeon of the vessel stated that if} he had had plenty of blankets and plenty . of attendants he might have saved many . of those who died. There were forty sick . on board the Unele Sam when she ar-. rived in the harbor, and three corpses had . becn thrown overboard during the morn . ing. Dr. Fitch, Surgeon of the vessel, was very attentive to the sick, and Dr, . Moses, U. S. A., a passenger, worked . constantly, and was at one time on his} feet for twelve hours without so much as; sitting down. ‘There were only seven} deaths in the first eabin._—S. F. Chronicle. . “Bless my soul! well, what’s the mat ter now?” cried out the offender, starting up in bed: you seem to be very restless, in,.2? 5 “Restless! I believe you!” said the disturbed gentleman; ‘‘you’ve been snoring, sir, worse than ever, and I cannot get to sleep.” “You don’t say so! have I becn repeating my rudeness toa stranger: I am really extremely sorry, my dear sir, but I was really asleep. Good-night—-night-night; very sor—sor-sorry.” And off he drowsed again, and in five minutes more began snoring as loudly as ever, until he was again awakened by his room-mate’s complaints. “Snoring again, have I, sir?” said the unconscious offender. ‘Well, the fact is, I have had a hard day’s journey and eaten ahearty supper—and if I snore, sir, I can’t help it. and that is sufficient. Iam about to go to sleep again; but allow me to inform you, sir, that if you wake me up again, snoring or not snoring sir, I shall at once proceed to get up, and give you the soundest thrashing you ever had in the whole course of your life! Good-night, sir,” His slumbers were uudisturbed for the rest of that night. SOS ig ai eis 5 SS Napvo.eon I. anp Acsrata--In a work by M.

The Nicaragua steamship Uncle Sam agrived in port on Friday morning, (Sept. 14,) at § o’elock. Col Walker had quict and peaceable possession of the town of San Juan, haying landed and taken it on the 28th of August. His forces were increased by the accession of a number of volunteers from the Northern Light, who preferred the chances of fame and fortune under Col. Walker, to the hopes of success that had led them towards the golden shores of California. We are indebted to Mr. Henry Loben. WHOLE NO 280. Snoring. An anecdote was well told, some years ago, of a polite Southerner, an accomplished and kind hearted gentleman. On one occasion he had been driving hard from morning tiil night, over the rough roads in the neighborhood of Columbia, S, C., and alighted at the only comfortable looking tavern in the place, very hungry and very tired. Sticking his eyeglass to his eye—his constant companion, he being very near sighted—he demanded a roast fowl, some good wine and a comfortable room for the night. The landlord was “exceedingly sorry,” but he “‘couldn’t give him a comfortable room; the only place he eould have to sleep in was a double-bedded room with another gentleman.” “Very well, sir, let us have the best you’ve got. No man can do more than . that. After discussing his supper, he sough his room, turned in, and went to sleep His slumbers were destined to be of a very /short duration. Before long he was awakened by a call from the other bed—‘‘Sir! Sir!” . “Bless my soul!?’ cried D , thrust. ing his glass up to his eye, and endeavor. ing to peer through the dark, “‘what’s the . matter, my dear sir? Is the house on fire, or are there bugs in your bed?” “Neither, sir; but, my dear sir, you snore so terribly that I cannot sleep, sirIt is terriflic, sir !”’ “Bless me, my dear sir; I am shocked that I should have been so rude as to snore in a gentleman’s presence, and he a stranger tome. I really ask your pardon, sir, and beg you'll overlook it. It wasn’t intentional, I assure you,” The apology was accepted, a ‘‘Good. night” exchanged, and both parties went to sleep again. It was not long, however, before a rumbling sound was heard from the polite gentleman’s bed, every moment growing louder, until at last it ended in a thunderous diapason. The other lodger driven almost to madness, started up and exclaimed: “Good gracious! This is too much! I can’t stand it! T-say;sir!-str/ sir!!! wake up sir !” stein, a passenger on the Unele Sam, for the followiug information in regard to the cholera ou the Uncle Sam, on her trip to this port. There was no cholera on the steamer on the other side, nor was there any among the passengere while on the Isthmus; and particular care was taken to prevent them cating fruit, or dissipating in any way to render them liable to sickness. Nevertheless; at Castillo Rapids, some of the steerage passengers were taken-with a suspicious looking diarrhea. On arriving at San Juan del Sur, the passengers passed through an old hulk, on which—as was reported—some of Col. Walker’s men were lying sick with the cholera. It was necessary to pass through this hulk to get to the boats which carried the passengers to the steamer. The report that there was cholera there induced some of the passengers to hire private skiffs as a conveyance to the steamer. When the steamer left San Juan the symptoms of the cholera appeared very plainly, and the disease soon began to rage with great vehemence. At first the presence of the discase was concealed from the cabin passengers as much as possible, but the number of deaths was soon so great that concealment was impossible. The surgeon reports 110 deaths. The report current among the passengers, and some of the officers of the vessel, was, that 210 had diced. The death of 110 would show that one out of six had fallen a vietim. Since writing the above, we are assured . by several sources that not less than 290 persons died on the trip. One passenger} who spent every day on deck, and kept! count of the bodies thrown over during the daytime, and made inquiries as to the. bodies thrown over at night, sayshis count was 207. Mr. Lobenstein tells us that . the Surgeon said the deaths were 210. An officer of the vessel said the deaths were over 200. The Surgeon of the vessel stated that if} he had had plenty of blankets and plenty . of attendants he might have saved many . of those who died. There were forty sick . on board the Unele Sam when she ar-. rived in the harbor, and three corpses had . becn thrown overboard during the morn . ing. Dr. Fitch, Surgeon of the vessel, was very attentive to the sick, and Dr, . Moses, U. S. A., a passenger, worked . constantly, and was at one time on his} feet for twelve hours without so much as; sitting down. ‘There were only seven} deaths in the first eabin._—S. F. Chronicle. . “Bless my soul! well, what’s the mat ter now?” cried out the offender, starting up in bed: you seem to be very restless, in,.2? 5 “Restless! I believe you!” said the disturbed gentleman; ‘‘you’ve been snoring, sir, worse than ever, and I cannot get to sleep.” “You don’t say so! have I becn repeating my rudeness toa stranger: I am really extremely sorry, my dear sir, but I was really asleep. Good-night—-night-night; very sor—sor-sorry.” And off he drowsed again, and in five minutes more began snoring as loudly as ever, until he was again awakened by his room-mate’s complaints. “Snoring again, have I, sir?” said the unconscious offender. ‘Well, the fact is, I have had a hard day’s journey and eaten ahearty supper—and if I snore, sir, I can’t help it. and that is sufficient. Iam about to go to sleep again; but allow me to inform you, sir, that if you wake me up again, snoring or not snoring sir, I shall at once proceed to get up, and give you the soundest thrashing you ever had in the whole course of your life! Good-night, sir,” His slumbers were uudisturbed for the rest of that night. SOS ig ai eis 5 SS Napvo.eon I. anp Acsrata--In a work by M.
