‘Written for Tax Evaxnve Stan. TME HEROIC CAREER OF COMMAN- DER W. B. CUSHING, U. &. NL (Copyriging, 1886.) William B. Cushing was born in Delafield, ‘Wisconstn, November 4, 1342; entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, Sep- tember 25, 1357; resigned March 23, 1861; and ‘BB soon as possible thereafter enter the naval Service afloat asan acting master's mate. His isposition and temperament would not permit him to remain at a naval school in time of war; he would not bave been able togive a single ‘thought to theoretical study. We find that on the following October he was estored to his rank as midshipman. March 27 de was detached from the Cambridge sick, and granted one month’s leave. The fodowing May he was ordered to the Minnesota, and ‘was promoted tothe rank of lieutenant from the 16th of July, with a large number of young Officers, made necessary to supply the demands Of the service growing out of the civil war. Henceforth, for a period of nearly three years, his career was singularly conspicuous in deeds | Of daring in a service where a lack of gallantry wouid have brought disgrace. It is plain, there- that it was the sagacity of his plans and is boldness in carrying them out that distin- guished him. ‘On_ the 7th of April, 1864, I found myself at the Norioik Navy Yard, presiding over a Court of Inquiry in relation to the sinking of a block- ad vessel by the Monticello commanded By Cushing, off the northern entrance to. Cape Fear rivers’ lad never belore met. him, and from this association of a day or so, appreciated ‘some of the remarkable traits of character that distiuguished bim, of which I had previous doubts. He was then a little over twenty-one Years of age, nearly six feet in height, rather alight, wiry in a nee, boyish looking, with neni aquiline and weil-formed nose, fine e gray eyes, and light hair, tending to Zellow. | He had’ ordinarily a grave expression ef countenance, which would light up when he .© with @ bright and somewhat playful smile. The first impression of a stranger who beard him speak, either o1 what he had done or hoped to do, would be that he was a boaster; With those who knew him best there was no such idea. His form of speech was a mere ex- pression irankly, utiered, of whut he had done or ‘what might be done inthe future. The features of Cushing reminded me of a steel engraving of the poet Schiller when he was young. A bro:her Officer likened his springy, elastic step, high cheek dones, and general physiognomy to that ef an Indian. ‘When in command of a small steamer block- ading, he delighied in visiting the inland waters in ca fonts. He ee bw usually tered bright, moonlight nights,as the enemy Roald mene Jess watchiul. When within he wouid seek a sheltered place up some creek, haul up his boat, conceal it and himself and men during the day. When night came on he would resume his ‘Intended object. In the win- ter of '64, when blockading the Cape Fear river, he determined to pay a visit to Smithville, Tith two boais manned by twenty men ‘and ‘two officers. In entering bi Fort Cas- well, mounting heavy guns; knew that at Smithville, two mles above, int Of desti- nation, there were five more in battery, and a considerable garreon; the night was clear, and the.moon shone brightly. He landed at eleven o'clock, one hundred yards above the battery. He d into the village and across the street into General Herbert's house, a large building with piazza, Major Hardeman and Captain Kelly, of the general's staff, were down stairs and about retiring, when the for- mer, hearing footsteps on the piazza, supposed his Servant was there und opened the window; @ navy revolver was thrust in his face with demand to surrender. With great dexterity he threw the pistol aside and escaped through @ back door, calling upon Kelly, his companion, 10 follow, as the enemy was upon them; but he failed to comprehend at the instant, and was captured and carried off by Cushing, who em- barked at once, knowing that an immediate alarm would be given. Cushing says he cap- tured the chief engineer of this defense, but Jound the general bad gone to Wilmington tie same day. The adjutant general escaped through a ‘door, after severely wounding bis band. Believing that a mutiny was in progress, be took Vtapepioery as Cushin, Feport, with a great scarcity meglected to turn out tae ison. The boat's of landing was within fifty yards of the ‘t and within the same distance of a sentinel. ‘Cushing with his prisoner was abreast of Fort Caswell beiore a signal was made that boats were in a. ‘bor. This descent ee oe warranted for its expressed purpose, alleged to be the intended capture of the commander of the forces and the capture of any vessel lying there. Such ruids doubtless enabled the enemy to ‘e@stabiish better discipline and greater vigilance without bringing compensating result to us. ‘The sword ot neral Herbert was brought off, end returned by Cushing to that officer or his family some eight years thereaiter. One of our army officers who was at the cap- ture of Newburne, said that Cushing, in com- mand of navy howitzers, passed him with his Bail aided by soldiers, dragging the pieces ; in landing in the marsh be Le Isst bid shoes ‘end in the bushes his bat, Pressing on, bare headed and shoeless, he overtook the servant Of Captain Jobnson of the army. With a pair of boots siung over bis shoulder. Cushing de- manded the name of the owner of the boots, and said, “Teli the captain that Lieutenant Cushing of the bavy was barefootied, and bor- Towed bis boots for the day.” Despite the re- monstrances of the servant, he hastitly put on Ue boots and proceeded on his way. At an earlier period, November, ‘62 when in command of the steamer Ellis, he entered New Rieer Inlet, and ascended to Jacksonviile, tnirty-five miles trom the sea, where he cap: two schooners and tweuty-five siand of arms. Returning, and when about seven miles from the inlet, where the enemy bad burned a Yessel on bis ascent, the Ellis was opened on from miffed guus. The attack was repelled. There was a difficult reacb, below which his thought he coula not pass with the wan- light. “Cushing anchored, and the two prize schooners were brought alongside. At daylight the Ellis was again under way, and ina .’‘{i- cult part of the channel the enemy opened tire on the veseels with two field-pieces. Alter an engagement of an hour the enemy was driven from the bluff, and the Ellis passed it al @ distance of one hundred yards without molesta~ on; five hundred yards further down, through & mistake of the piloc, the Ellis Was bope- Tessly ; @ party was at once sent on shore io bring off the abandon. ed Geld-pieces, but the enemy had car Fied them off. ‘That whole duy attempts were make to get the vessel off, and these efforts ‘Were unmolested by the enemy. The attempts Were hopeless. At dusk Cushing had every- ‘thing movable taken out of the steamer and put on board of oveof the schooners, and she was drooped down a mile and half, so as to be out Of range of the guns. Six voluntecrs were asked, and remained witi Cushing to fight the pivot. gun of the Ellis. At dayligut tne edemy ‘Opened fire, as expected; it came irom four points with rifled guns; of course the contest was hope- Jess, yet he iought the gun until it was disabled. Tae Ellis was then set on fire by Cushing, Who with his men took to their boat and puiled down the river to the schooner. He then made sail, favored by a good breeze, and iorced her over the bar, upon which she thumped from Jack of water, and at the sume Ume. received the fire of the enemy, and was struck several ‘times before she got beyoud the react of shelis, Soon after te ios of the Ellis, Cushing was ven command of the Shokokeu, and, indetat- wie as ever, having seen aschooner within New Topsail Iniet, went in a boat to destroy her, but beiug fired upon by three or four pistes of eld-artillery, witudrew to earry out is object viuerwise. "The toliowing evening, the 22d of August, he anchored tie vessel close ja shore, five miles south aud west of the inlet, aad sent two boats tothe beach.

Our boat succeeded in ‘ing the pickets, and even the Southfield within twenty yards, with- out discovery, and we were not until by the lookouts on the ram. The cutter was then cast off and ordered below, while we made for our enemy under a full head of steam. The rebels sprung their rattle, rang the bell, and commenced firing, at the same time repeating their hall and seeming much confused. “The light of a fire ashore showed me the ironclad made fast to the wharf, with a pen of jogs around her, about thirty feet from her le. “Passing her closely, we made a complete cir cle, so as to strike her fairly, and went into her bows-on.

He did his Gatye wells and deserves a medal of honor: spectiuil: W. 5. Cusurse, U. 8. N.” For this act of heroism Cushing was advanced to the grade of lieutenant commander. His entire career was filled with darin, 9 cleverly planned and admirably execute iS hence his anvarying success in what he under took; but his character was not one that would admit of imitation; such men are never mere imitators, and attempts by those of inferior qualities in such respects would end in their capture or death. Notwithstanding his extraordinary qualities, he perhaps lacked that attention to the practi eal and laborious details of his protession with- out which no officer can attain eminence, or usefulness even in the higher grades His ability to comprehend was undoubtedly of a high order, but possibly a deticient training When &@ mere youth leit him apparently averse to acquiring the practical details of his pro- fession, The fact is, Cushing had such pre-eminent qualities, that those who appreciated him felt a certain chagrin or disappointment that he did mot seem to possess those ordinary qualities through which be could acquire the knowledge mecessury to extraordinary success as the leader of large forces. ‘Cushing’s iife in war was active and heroic in the extreme: in peace be seemed to suffer, as it were, from inanity, or, more properly speaking, from’the apparant lack or absence of & strong purpose. Alter the close of the war he was for some two years the executive officer of the Lancaster, & position which juired close attention and study to fulfill its duties in the best manner. A year after the close of the war, Cushing was sent to relieve the commanding officer of the gunboat Penobscot, who had been ordered to the Asiatic station. He, however, fell to lee ward and found himself in the West Indi and with a strange obliquity continued to sai from island to island, apeereitly with no other object than “sampling liquors.” At length he found the Penobscot and brought the vessel home, with the former captain under arrest. Soon after he leit the United States in com: mand of the gunboat Maumee, for the Asiatic station. He touched at Rio Janeiro, then at of Good Hope, and in March, 67, an- chored at St. Paul’s Island, an exttnet sub- marine voleano, lying in the Indian ocean hundreds of miles from its boundaries, near the fortieth parallel of south latitude, and about the turning point where vessels, out ward bound, leave the “brave west winds” of Uthat latitude and steer for the Straits of Sunda, entering the southeast winds usually at about thirty degrees of latitude. So interesting a locality as St. Paul's Cushing could not pass by without visiting. A channel way from the sea into the crater permits the entrance of boats, and a seven hundred and forty and eight hundred and sixty feet in height rise above its nearly perpendicular wails, The extent of this bleak rock is two and three-quarters by one and one-half miles in diameter. Sailing directions give the foilow- ing: “The remarkable phenomenaof the boiling springs on the tongues of land and elsewhere, which are covered 6y the high tides, still exist, and fish and cray fish may be caught from the beach and tossed into these natural pools of boiling chalybeate water and readily cooked.” He was promoted in regular order of vacan- cies to commander January 31, 1872, and soon after was ordered to the cominand of the Wyoming, on the home station, and was Te- lieved at the end of the year, the vessel being put out of commission. In the spring of 1874 he was ordered to the Washington navy yard, and the following Au- gust he was detached at his request. He then seemed in impaired health, and expressed a desire to go south; after a lapse of a few days he showed symptoms of insanity, aud was re- moved to the government hospital, where he died December 17, 1574, at the age’ of thirty two years and thirteen days. ‘His becoming insane was a great regret and a lw his many friends aud admirers in and out of the naval service; it was, however, @ consolation for them to Know that ‘it was not the result of bad habits orf causes within his control. His misfortune, and thatof the naval service to which he belonged, was seemingly a lack of rigid early training, necessary to health. ful thouzht in ordinary times, and to a con- tinued development of those points in baval education which are so useful in peace, and 80 essential to success in the higher grades, what- pons nature may have done to fit the man for action.

WHEN A YOUNG MAN AND A YOUNG WOMAN WANT TO MARRY THEY GENERALLY SUCCEED. This isthe way a Longview correspondent tells a story of love and law in Texas: A few days ago, as the gray of the earliest dawn was giving place to the saffron tints that heralded sunrise, there came amaiden fair, ‘with golden locks flying in disorder from ber long and hurried all-night ride, and @ callow and innocent-looking youth, who sought shel- ter for the damsel in one of Longview’s hotels, when the youth hastened to the house of the county clerk (who issues marriage licenses in this state) and asked for the document that would give him a legal right to have some com- petent authority marry them. The accommo- dating clerk, aroused from his slumbers, went to hisoffice’and put the young man through his examination as to age, occupation, &c., aud the age of the maiden. Glib were his answers anent himself, but he hesitated and stumbled and prevaricated about the girl's age, until finally Mr. Levy, the clerk said: Mr. Harris, your statements are correct, enough regarding yourself, but from what yon say of Miss Cooper's age 4 4m quite sure she 1s NOL of the age to be legally married without her parent's consent. I know this is a runaway match, and I cannot issue the license.” ss Pleas were unavailing, and Mr. George V. Harris left, a sadder man. But wisdom soon came to him, and the results of that wisdom showed later, when the second chapter began.

From the Lewiston (Me. ) Journal, June 7. The history of the troubles of a couple who were married last week in a village near Lewis- ton, has something in it which most emphati- cally fllustrates the truth of the old adage that the course of true love never zuns smooth. Ti bride was a lady of sixty-four years, whose hair is silver, and the groom a few years her senior, | ‘Their courtship hus extended over a period of forty-six years. A Lewiston gentleman who is acquainied with the bride says that when ghteen years old she fell in love with her present husband, and made her prepara- tions to marry ow her nineteenth birihda Her father had died when she was littie gi leaving an invalid motber, with no one tod pend upon for support but this daughter.

Her | | motier was firm in her purpose and ail efforts vo bring about a reconciliation were unavail- Ing. ‘Tiine wore on, and the two lovers kept Up a secret correspondence with each other. Neither of them mai Not maay months ago the mother died, and now the wedding beils are ringing and the couple are enjoying a honeymoon which has been detezred tor nearly halt a century. Budroneh-White (Unlimited). From the New York Sun, “We want to be married for three years,” said a man who headed a party of Poles that yester- | day entered the office of Clerk Robinson of the Jersey City police board, who is also a justice of | the peace. Leaning on the man’s arm was a well-dressed | young woman, who smiied cheerfully and nodded assent to the expressed wish. “Why, I can’t do that,” said the ‘squire, against regulations.” “Well, make it five years, then,” pleaded the man. The young woman, easy to please, again nodded acquiescence. ‘Can't do that either,” said the justice. “AIL marriages in New Jersey are for life, unlimited, and for better or worse.” ‘The man seemed greatly disappointed. There Fras consultation in witich ali the pariy took part. ‘The young woman made no objection to any of the plans proposed, save that of aban- doning the project of getting married at all, The man seemed inclined to that rather than marrige without limitation, but he. tnaily consented to the only coutraet which the Jus- tice would ratify, and the marriage ceremony Was perturmed. The bridegroom gave his name as John Bud- ronch, and the young woman said she was Kate White. Both suid they resided at 403 Hender- son street. “it's The Food the Fathers Ate. From the Boston Post. The people of the last generation, Dr, Hodges says; “knew nothing of luxury; they bad the ‘reg lar’ and solid meals at noontime, which are said to be the foundation of the stability of character, and they enjoyed at least nine hours of sleepevery day.” How happy, indeed, are the men and women who are able to look back upon such a state of life, and how unhappy by contrast are those who remember a diferent state of things as the practice of the older gen- erations, and suffer in their own lives Its effects!

The sleeplessness often complained of by gouty persons is due to the poisonous effect of the morbid material upon the nervous system.

VIOLENT CONVULSIONS FOLLOWING A VOLCANIC ERUPTION—TOWNS PARTLY BURIED AND MANY LIVES Lost. From the New York Sun. ALBaxy, June 16.—Mr. John Hotchkiss, @ prominent manufacturer ot Birmingham, Eng- land, arrived here today from Realjo, Nica ragua. He says that the day before he sailed (May 22) there was a terrific eruption from the Yoleano Momotombo. Telegraphic information was received at Realjo on the 234 to the effect that the city of Managua, the capital of the country, had been practically destroyed by the violent ‘earthquakes which accompanied the Eruption. ‘The earth upon which the city was built suddenly sank, soon after the convulsions began, three ‘feet below its former level. All bulldings of any considerable value were com- pletely wrecked. It was reported that there Was loss of lite, but how great was not known when the Pacific mail steamer sailed. Telegraphic intelligence from @ town at the terminus of a railroad foes anes from Realjo Fras even more startling. ‘That place was be- ing fast buried beneath hot voleanic ashes, and many lives had been lost. In response to the appeal for help from the survivors, a train was made up at Realjoand sent out about two hours before the Pacific mail steamer left the port, ‘The situation in Realjo began to grow sume- what threatening, and the departure of the steamer was somewhat hastened on that ac- count, The sky became dark and of a sarang gray tint. Fine volcanic ashes began to fall, and the atmosphere became oppressive and breathing painful, Mr. Hotchkiss says the fall Of ashes increased as the ship left the harbor, and they continued to sift down upon the decks until the vessel was fully forty miles out, Over the interior of the county toward the volcano there appeared to hang a dense dark cloud. The decks of the ship received a coating about half an inch deep ot the volcanic ashes beiore geting beyond reach of the shower. Mr. Hotch- kiss brought with bim a specimen, The ashes area dry gray dust or powder. There wis great excitement in Realjo when the steamer sailed, and details of fhe calamity could not be obtained. Full information wiil doubtless come by the next steamer, which reaches San Francisco in a few days. Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, which is said to be destroyed, is a city of about 10,000 Inhabitante, it had a national palace, several churches, city hall and other large buildings. ‘see.

In the Halots settlement, north of this city, on Monday last, Col. Cal Brannon, a brother of the outlaw Joe’ Brannon, eame into San Antonio and went betore the grand jury and laid information to the effect that the two Scotts, Frank and 'T. J, the former being con- stable'ot_ precinct No. 3, had received Frank Harris from Pitts, who had arrested him on September 15, 1884, and that since that time nothing had been heard of Harris, and he be~ lieved that the two Scotts had murdered him, On the strength of this statement the grand Applewhite and Jas. Van Riper to une locality wo seurch the Scott premises, Braunon’s and the vicinity generally. THE SKELETON IN THE CAVE, They visited what is known as the Robbers’ cave, where the Pitts, Brannon and Yerger band was in the habit of hiding. This cave is situated about four or five miles from Lion Springs, at the rear of Scott's house, und about one hundred yards from where ‘Joe Brannon was shot, he being intent_on reaching this place when he waskilled. The officers after search: ing the interior a short time this morning, found the skeleton ofa man withinit, ‘The fuct of this discovery was immediately telephoned to District Attorney Pascal, who secured the isaue of warrants for the arrest of the Scots, As they were both living in town Sheriff Lewishad no difficulty in execuiing the warrant, and the men were conveyed to the county jail. ‘There is no doubt the remains are all that is left of the lamented Frank Harris. The object ,of the terribie murder is not so plain, though enough is known to implicate almost'the entire paty in it, Harris was dexperatively in love wil Miss Scott, and swore that he would marry her even if he had to shed blood. Scott was equally as positive that he should not, for be had pledged her band to young Pitts, the murderer Of United States Marshal Yosting. He ordered Maris off the premies, aud told him to never put his foot in his door again, He leit, but vowed that he would mairy the ’ girl anyhow.
