MASONS “SECRETARY LIVING HERE The Only Survivor of the Party Taken From the Trent. FROM AN EYEWITNESS Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. HIRTY ODD YEARS age two continents rung with the names of Mason and Slidell. With their private j secretaries, James Macfarland and George Eustis, they made a famous quar- tet that had well nigh brought Eng- land Into the breech that was daily widening —_ between the north apd south. Today Mr. Macfariand 1s the only survivor ef that ilttle band, hence the only man who can adequately tell the tale to this generation. In his Washington home on Capitol Hill, with hls three daughters, all of whom were born under her majesty’s flag, and have over with them a bewitching little Scotch accent, strongly suggestive of the plaids and clans of their ancestors, he enjoys the quiet of private life. His south- ern blood and European breeding combine to make Mr. Macfarland an ideal host. As a story teller he is as inimitable as his fund secdote, "gathered from his intercourse with the great men of a generation that is gone, from his own thrilling experience in a period never to be forgotten, and from his reslence at various foreign courts, for which his lin| and scholarly attain- mer ited , is inexhaus- in the fall of 1861 he embarked lite: on the most perilous pediti nm and Slidell for .

Moir and requ the privilege of inspecting the ship's r Aster, which was promptly refused. He then named the commissioners and their secretaries and asked if they were aboard the Trent. Amid a breathless suspense each man at sound of bis name stepped forward and @nnounced himself. The Capture Effected. Turning to them Lieut. Fairfax explained that he had been sent by Capt. Wilkes to Yequest their presence on the San Jacinto. The courteous invitation was declined with equal courtesy. Fairfax then dissipated the drawing-room air that had crept into the situation by intimating that he hoped he should not be put to the necessity of using force, whereupon Slidell rejoined that It would require considerable force to him to the San Jacinto. aim the protection of the British he added, turning to Moir. Moir was equal to the appeal, and no man could doubt the emphasis with which j echo of tho he protested against any interference with his passengers. But there stood the San Jacinto ready for action,, her company at quarters and her port holes open. Whet could one British captain's wealth of verbiage accomplish in that threatening presence? Still less effect had the words of Capt. Williams, who was in charge of her majesty’s mails, and who declared, that as the representa- tive of ner majesty’s government, he de- nounced the proceeding as a wanton piracy on the Figh s2as. To Williams’ care Mr. Macfarland, avail- ing himself of the opportune moment when Fairfax turned to summon his men, con- signed the satchel containing their com- missions and other valuable papers. Met by Slidell’s Daughter. Masen’s was the first arrest, Lieut. Fair- fax, who owed his Annapolis appointment to Mason, using merely enough force to convince his prisoner that resistance was useless. Such are the strange necessities of war. At the door of Slidell’s state room,whither he had gone for a parting word with his wife, Fairfax encountered a very beautiful, a very sorrowful, but none the less im- movable sentinel, Mathilde, Stidell's eldest daughter. As he approached with some hope of quieting her distress with assur- ances of her father’s safety, she raised her hand and waved him away. This is the meager foundation for the report after- wards set in active circulation, that she had struck Fairfax. Slidell ended the pain- ful gcene by leaving his state room through the window. The secretaries having been secured, the beats pushed off toward the San Jacinto, and the Trent went on her way, bearing four womer, who, having refused Wilke's invitation, must endure the awful suspense of days and weeks of uncertainty—not knowing what fate hung over the men who had so unquestioningly risked all for the cause of the south. ‘Their immediate fate, however, was not a hard one. apt. Wilkes received” them courteously,even resigning his own quarters that they might be made comfortable. They had fallen among friendly hostiles, between whom and themselves existed— independent of the war cause—many ties of sympathy. Lieut. Fairfax, executive officer of the San Jacinto, was a Virginian; Greer, second officer, had married a Vir- ginian; Hertil, the ship's surgeon, was a Georgian; Tatnall, capt. of marines, son of Commodore Tatnall, had been put under arrest for declaring to his superior officer that so entirely were his sympathies with the southern cause that in the event of their meeting a confederate man-of-war he must refuse to fight. Add to all this the fact that Wilkes had two sons in the armies of the confederacy, and the capture effected by men of such connections be- comes trwty a coincidence. Rejoicings in the South. The San Jacinto stopped at Fortress Monroe, Wilkes sending thence to Wash- ington the news of his capture and asking for instructions as to the disposition to be made of his prisoners. Off Sandy Hook he received orders to conduct them to Fort Warren. = The news, not of the capture, but of the manner in which tt had been effected, created universal rejoicings at the south The north had been guilty of that vers b ch of international law for w ed States bad called Great B: sharp account in 1812.

It was the courteous rap of diplomacy. Mr. Seward, through the loophole of friendship, announced that he would be down presently to an official consideration of the matfer, expressing at the same time his surprise that they should have called on that busin: He said he had no idea they would take it so seriously. H ously thi 1 taken it may ered from Palmerston’s emphatic who said, unofficially, however, he'd a— if he'd stand it. The result of that diplomatic conference between Mr, Seward and Lord Lyons and that long Christmas day cabinet meeting is as familiar to us as that of any of the well-fought contests of those bitter days Amid the angry denunciations of a w ly excited populace, Lincoln, never losing sight of the principle at stake, liberated his prisoners. When the news of thelr capture had reached Richmond Jefferson Davis notified the government at Washington that from amceng the prisoners then held by the confederacy he had selected four hostages, and that whatever treatment was visited upon the commissioners and their secre- taries the same would be meted out to them. On the 1st of January, Slidell and their secretaries, Macfarland and Eustis, were quietly conducted to a British_man-o'-war and once again turned their faces Englandward, whither their fame had preceded them. So ended an episode whereby the issue of the civil war had hung in the balance. Seward, in writing of it later, referred to it as a ci VIRGINIA TATNALL PEACOCK. ee Experienced Reasoning.

In the front you have the sea, behind there is a bli stretch of sand and menade flanked by hotels. With a beach both small and baking hot, with a quaint old-world town behind it, where in narrow streets the cafes flourish, cool and cozy, and with a countryside to right and left, with orchards on the cliffs, y well believe that the mere sitting sea is a small part of Dieppe sum- e. No one is dependent on the great which are mere sleeping places. hotels, Two other characteristics of Dieppe detract from any large dnd obvious public social life; the English visitors and the French chateau habit. There is something peculiar to Dieppe in the presence of the English. At the Hotel (where they charge you fifteen francs for an order of lobster a i'Americsine), the English language flourishes like the green bay tree. A French family lounging over breakfast see an English group sweep by and sniff, “Oh, foreigners.” But they them- selves are rather foreigners in this hotel, whose servants all are English, and whose 23 all are English. They have bath s, Crosse & Blackwell pickles and il- lustrated weeklHes. They give you butter free at table, but they charge three prices for their wine. . From Newhaven to Dieppe is the cheap- est trip across the channel, to be enjoyed —once—and then remembered. But to the hardy islanders the little crazy steamers that ride and mount and dip like ducks, and rock and turn with a contorted twist, are capable of giving a fierce, refreshing The En ish land at Dieppe as fresh a y as thelr ancestors who ravaged all this coast in ancient wars. Today they pay thelr way. The English love for the Norman coast is greater than ever. They come in shoals. The Marquis of Salisbury built a villa at Puy; and where a marquis is, there will be the English tourists likewise, endeavor- ing to look over his garden wall. They carry away blossoms from trees that grow on the marquis’ grounds, and hang over his hedges, and pry bricks from the mor- tar of his walls and mark them “souvenir of Puys.” Puys 1s a pretty little bathing place, with many a villa, a mile from Dieppe by the shore, “but may be reached = by omnibus,” asthe excursion programs tell. x ‘ These “villas”. Or “chateaux,” both French and English, serve also to cut up the Dieppe life, or, What would be its social } life if Dieppe were ,on the New Jersey « coast. The coast around Dieppe is _ dotted with a hun- dred little bathing beaches, removed from the railroad, j[. the tourist and the Summer boarder. They are secluded, cliff-bound retreats for the choosing few, earthly paradises, with the land bought up all around for safety. The few fam- ilies who inhabit the smart hamlets dwell among themselves, self-centered, self{-suf- ficient and self-satisfied. To see them is sufficient to become an anarchist. Their pretty women trip out to the spring boards, confident that none but worthy eyes shall dwell upon their Jersey tights. Their bud- ding daughters splash and. dabble with their uncles and their cousins and such eligible youths of their own class, nation- ality, religion and commercial rating. I am an anarchist. But this is not Dieppe. Dieppe has a Casino built out by the water, and in this Casino there are long shady porches, concerts, promenades, iced drinks and roulette wheels that go click! and little leaden horses that go round and round a green baize track and all the picture pa- pers and a thousand pretty women. When the theaters close up in Paris, when the tourists stand around deserted box offices to buy a ticket for “Relache,” then many a famous artiste wil! come down to the Dieppe Casino, there to sing or act on the small stage. The life of mournful stran- gers, who are not on speaking terms with any villa, therefore passes at Dieppe be- tween the beach, the town and the Casino. In the Casino let us pass the little horses, though they are reputed to be fair. The roulette wheel is fairer in the matter of percentage, but the trouble {s that bet sueceeds to bet so quickly and the money changes hands so rapidly that something like a fever often stirs the player’s blood and changes his ideas about the sum he wished to win or was resigned to lose. Decidedly, it is best to sit on the long porch and watch the ladies bathing. The Casino baths are the most chic; dress, peignoir, towel, shoes, use of bath house, cap, fee to the bathing master—these count up al- most a dollar, and the ladies who patronize them are as plump as well-fed chickens. Then there is always the nice old-fashion- ed city.. For every one who likes the rigo- lade (which means a real nice time) Dieppe is like a little Paris. And, as at Paris, you have not only the aristocratic Faubourg Saint-Germain and the decorous American quarter, but also the mixed and pleasure- seeking Boulevard, so you may well be- eve that here in Dieppe, in what they call the Faubourg de la Barre, at 6 p.m. there is tng noise and brightness of the Boulevard Montmartre. Besides, there is the country life. It is the charm of this delightful Norman coast that you have but to leave the shore and mount the steep ascent that leads you from the beach up to the regulation level of the cliffs and you are in a land of trees and verdure. It is a land of milk and honey, oats and apples, where woods and hills and rolling fields are checkered off by white, smooth roads, STERLING HEILIG. ———__ FOR SUMMER REST.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Notwithstanding Mr. McKenzie’s defense of the contractor’s work, it does not change the fact that our streets are ndt swept and cleaned as they should be, nor as they have been in the past. Let any person watch the machine brooms skip along, jumping over depressions and failing, because of their lightness, to take up dirt that shows the slightest tendency to adhere to the pavement; and then see how imperfectly the sprinkling is done, and how slovenly the men who clean up the dirt in the gut- ters do their work and it does not require the knowledge of an expert to discover that the whole work of sprinkling, sweep- ing and cleaning is improperly done. If the contractor has a proper outfit, as the superintendent labors hard to convince your readers he has, then, as I asked some time ago: “What is our street department for and what is it doing all this time?” ete., if It cannot prevent work that you call (quoting from an editorial in The Star) “cruel to the individuals and discreditable to the city government?” I don’t care whether the contractor receives $30,000 or $11,000 more this year than he did in 18, the work should be done a great deal better than it is being done, and I still contend that cur citizens have a right to expect it, and the street sweeping department or the Commissioners should lose no time in seeing that itis. Mr. McKenzie says: “The work of cleaning the streets is weli done,” and yet in the next breath admi is not by acknowledging that while some- times the strect is only sprinkled enoush “to enable the machines to sweep up the dirt,” yet, at other times, it is so saturated ith water that “the machine brooms not remove the dirt to the gutter,but s it on the pavement, which, ing, lea the dirt in the shape of dust to annoy th residents and passersby next day."

Kendall of Kentucky is in the city. Mr. Kendall wants J. M. Robinson of Pikeville, Pike county, Kentucky, made appointment clerk of the Treasury Department or given some other position in the government service. Mr. Robinson is a-lawyer, and was a dele- gate to the last democratic convention that rominated’President Cleveland. Mr. Kendall entered Congress for the first time as successor to his father, who died during the Fifty-second Congress. He was not elected to the Fifty-third Congress, and his election to the Fifty-fourth was after a hot contest with his republican competitor, T. M. Hopkins, who has en- tered a contest for his seat in the House. Mr. Kendall is quite a young man. Dur- ing the Fifty-second Congress he made a record in favor of the free coinage of silver under the conditions that prevailed pre- vious to 1873. He has not changed his opinion on that question. It is not likely, in the opinion of the Rep- resentative-elect from the tenth Kentucky district, that the democrats of his state will be so split up by the factional fight over the senatorship that they will not come together in support of the nominee, whoever he may be. “The silver question,” said Mr. Kendall to a Star reporter today, “is but one issue that is involved in the party. Beyond that there are democratic principles to which the financial question will be subordinate. Afthough the last election in Kentucky was a very close one, I feel confident that when the state votes for President we will have one of our old-time majorities. No differ- ence of opinion on a single issue can pre- vent the party from holding together.” that Cottolene makes better pastry than lard, is more reliable than lard, more cleanly than lard, more healthful than lard, and is superior to lard for frying and shortening.
