The officer or soldier who, in th2 face of {mminent perll, cam hold up a watch and count the seconds is brave, self-posst reliable. I have seen an officer in fight on unflinchingly, bleeding from many wounds, of which he was heedless; and later on have witnessed the same man turn pale and almost faint while holding the hand of another that the surgeon might cperate for some trifling aliment. A great deal has been written about the heroism of the soldier when going into battle. ‘There is no heroism about it—simply a matter of pride and duty. The soldier while standing under the galling fire of the enemy looks at his neighbors on the right and left, and seeing them clutch their guns firmly, although shaking with something akin to fear, thinks he will be shunned if he shows the white feather, end so when the crder to charge is given he rushes forward with nis comrades, who Lerhaps experienced the same sensations as himself Onee in the fight there is no thought of fear, and the oftener the sol- ier fights the less reluctant he feels to being under fire. “An incident came under my observation during the siege of AUlanta, which, I think, exhibited a fine display of courage. A federal battery was ordered to retire from the front line on account of the great dam- age the horses were receiving. It was just about to move back, when a shell from the enemy struck one of the caissons. The shells in {t began to explode like a pack of giant firecrackers. At this point a driver, who had always been rated more or less of a coward, coolly stepped up to the caisson of exploding sheils and poured a bucket of water over them, and as soon as the tow plugs became wet the danger was over. The whole thing had been done without the slightest sign of excitement or indication that the incident was anything cut of the ordinary. “Here are the cases of two boys, which show different degrees of courage. One of them on picket post one day was charged by a squad of confederate cavalry. He stood his ground firmly, waited until they wero within easy range, and then shot one of them, and the remainder, assuming that he had support near by, quickly retreated. The other boy was firmly convinced he could never be struck by a hostile bullet. At Rock Face R‘dge there was a three days’ assault en a fort in front of Dalton, Ga., and one day this younger soldier, in spite of warnings, took a position at the edge of some woods in front of the fort, exposing himself to the enemy's sharp- shocters. He steed in full view of the confederate riflemen and would motion on which side of him their bullets struck. Finally he was hit squarely on the head and instaatly killed. “I reeail a feat of a sergeant in the 2ist New York Cavairy, which for pluck and cool calculation was truly admirable and entitles the hero of it to praise for his courage und presence of mind in the face of danger. The sergeant, while out scout- ing with a companion in the Loudoun val- ley, visited a farm house for the purpose of getting supper. While they were wait- ing for the meal Col. Mosby and his ad- jutant entered the house. The sergeant’s companion escaped through the kitchen, but the sergeant himself was playing the piano in the parlor, and having divested himself of his arms was easily made a prisoner.

N. left behird a curious request to his family a few days prior to his death, which occurred the other day in his native dis- trict of Hizen. He -observed to his fam- ily that as he had never had the time to Investigate religious questions deeply enough to enuble him to determine which faith he should embrace, he was neither prejudiced against nor partial toward any form of religion. However, he himself was | of opinion that his soul would perish with the cessation of his life, while his remains would crumble to dust. Therefore he did not wish to have any religious service per- formed on his behalf. The funeral, also, should .be as simple as could be, and flow- ers and similar offerings be strictly de- clined. No announcement should be made of his death to friends of his until four or five days after the funeral. Two or three weeks after his death his relatives and friends should be invited to a banquet, and they should be asked to enjoy the occasion as heartily as possible. A priest might be invited, if the presence of such a perscnage were deemed desirable. At the funeral, also, nobedy should accompany the bier; except, if constdered necessary, one or two representatives on behalf of the family and relatives might follow the remains to the grave. The tomb was to be of the simplest description, only his name betng insertbed upon it. A memorial tablet was entirely tabooed. From the Philadelphia Record, The Chinese have recently become ex- tensive purchasers of Philadelphia-made nig iron, the demand for which has here- tofore been supplied by the English, Ger- mans and Belgians. A consignment of the above Iron is now being taken on board the British ship Perseverance at this port for shipment to Shanghai. She will not take out a full cargo, owing to the “dead weight” character of the shipment, but will fill the remaining part of her cargo space with refined petroleum and miscellaneous materials. Besides this, the iron will act as stiffening for the vessel on her long run to the far east. Instead of taking stone as ballast, the iron will serve that purpose, and thus the expense of loading and dis- charging the ballast will be done away with, and the vessel will earn freight charges on what heretofore has: been a dead loss to every sailing vessel. —__+e+____. Two Old Trees. From the London Chrenicle. We have to record with regret the demise of the famous horse chestnut tree. in the Champs Elysees known as “le marronier du 20 Mars,” owing to a popular supersti- tion that it always bursts into bloom on that day. Disquieting news, too, has come to hand as to the health of a far more venerable botanical marvel—the rose tree which grows over the apsidal crypt of the Dom at Hildesheim. Tradition asserts that it was planted by Ludwig the Pious, who founded the church about the middle of the ninth century. According to this legend it must be over a thousand years old. Lats terly a growth of unwholesome white patches has spread over its limbs, and signs of decay are apparent. Herr Wald- heim, however, the curator of the Royal Gardens at Hanover, has been called in, and hopes to save its life. —_--e+____ A Tent of Sobriety, From the Kansas City Journal. “Private” John Allen of Mississippi, who is now serving his seventh term in the na- tional Houge of Representatives, gives this characteristic reason why. he never. touches liquor: “Of course, if I drank at all. I should have to indulge while st NO PEWRITERS ALLOWED. All Docaments Submitted in Writing to the House of Commons. From the Chicago ‘Record. A rule of the -huse of commons is that all petitions must be'laid before that body in written or lithographic form, but re- cently the Hon. Mr. Gedge submitted a me- morial from his. constituents of the town of Walsall in typewritten manuscript and created quite a Sensation. The speaker de- clined to receive it on the ground that it was a violation of the rule and an in- fringement on thedignity of the house. He contended that’ typeWriting. was neither manuscript nor lithography, although he admited that the rule was adopted before the invention of typewriters. Mr. Gedge Gave notice that he would take the earliest opportunity of moving an amendment to the rule, in order that a modern invention which is of great convenience and a de- elded improvement over pen and ink manu- script might be recognized. The same rule applies to all of the offi- cial departments of the British government. All documents that emanate from the va- rious branches of the ministry are still writen in long hand upon the same kind of Paper that has been in use for several cen- turies and is manufactured expressly for them. No private individual is allowed to use official paper for any purpose whatever. And quill pens are still the ordinary in- struments of literary labor in the executive departments, as they are in the universities, the courts and in the old-fashioned law- yers’ offices. We visited an examination Toom in one of the colleges at Oxford the other day where a lot of students had just finished the examination known as the ‘Greatgo,” which comes at the end of the college year, and upon the table in the center was a large box filled with. several hundred quill pens which had just been discarded by the students and were being gathered up by the janitors. It was only recently that steel pens were allowed in the Bank of England. A typewritten communication on official subjects would not be received in some of the British offices nor in the courts, but we In America are almost as far behind the times, for it was only since the Harrison administration that. typewriters have been used in the State Department at Washing- ton. Even now all communications to the foreign legations of the United States and the diplomatic representatives of other governments at Washingten have to be writen in long hand. Our ministers abroad are sti required to use the same method in preparing their dispatches to the gov- ernment. Mr. Blaine was the first man to Introduce the typewriter, and if he had re- mained in office several years longer, that convenient instrument would have’ been furnished to all of the foretgn representa- tives. of the United States. ———_-2-_____ Dog Stops Runaways, From the Duluth Herald.

The fame locked safe for the Senators in ihe ninth inning when the Brooklyns came to the bat for their last try. But Tucker started a rally for the Brooklyns with b third safety to right field and Hallman reached first on a fluke safety toward third. “Old Sol’ was on the point of bidding adieu to the national capital, the blin | ing rays from the old fellow just glancing over the grand stand and striking the tieid- ers square in the face. At this moment little Aleck Smith hit a long fly into right field tnat Jake Gettman would have easily gobbled up under ordinary circumstances, but the usually reliable fielder missed ihe ball altcgether and got his eyes on it only as it was sailing over his head. The hit went down for a three bagger, two runs scoring. Then Pitcher Dunn, who is some- thing of a hitter, plunked his third hit into center and the score was tied. Weyhing then pulled himself together and the next three men were retired. The tenth inning yielded nothing in the way of runs for either side, but in the eleventh little Leahy smashed one towards third that was too hot for Shindle and an- chored on first. Then Jack Doyle, one of the best “pinch” hitters in the business, picked out a nice one and drove it into deep right center for three bases. The ball was jandled quickly, but Hallman made a bad throw home to cut off Leahy and on this etror Doyle crossed the plate. In their last turn at the bat the Brook- lyns died easy. Tucker failed to make his fourth hit, fouling out to MeGuire; Hali- man struck out, and Smith tried to dupli- cate his ninth inring hit towards right, but “Old Sol” had gone to rest and Gett- man closed the game by squeezing the fly in his capacious paws and the game was over with victory, No. 2 to the Senator's credit. ‘The weather was again raw and cold at the park and the spectators had a hard time keeping warm, Almost entire crowd was on its feet and ving the grounds in the ninth inning. but Brocklyn Tally drove the spectators back and they remained to cheer their favorites on to success. j As Gus Weyhing was feeling right yes- terday Capt. Tom Brown decided to hold Dinneen over until today’s game and plac- ed the resurrected pitcher on the rubber. To say that the shife was a good one faintly deseribes it. “Gussie” must have fraagined he was back in the brotherhood days from the way he mowed over the big Brooklyn boys, striking out nine of them and pitching great ball with men on bases. In only two innings did the visit- ors connect successively with Weyhing’s curves and shoots, the seventh and ninth, but those two innings were enough to place the heart-breaking game on record. The most noticeable feature of “Gussie’s” fine pitching was his perfect control. In a dozen different turns at the bat he fed the batsmen with two balls and then either struck them out or made them hit the ball to the fielders or on safe ground. The total foots up thirteen hits against Wey- hing, but Doyle lost a short fly directly In his path and McGuire muffed a high foul, safe hits going to the credit of both the batsmen. Then the losing by Gettman of the ball in the sun went against Wey- hing’s reccrd, so that it can be seen that with perfect’ fielding the Brooklyns’ hit record would have been in a single figure. These cases are cited to show how ef- fective Gus was. The misplays are part of the game and fall to the lot of every player, and as long as the Senators won the old twirler is perfectly satisfied with his work, as are his admirers and friends. The Brooklyn players are not much on fielding or base running, but their long suit is hitting, and for this reason Wey- hing’s work can be classed as away above the average Against a weaker batting ag- gregation Gus is.more than likely to pitch a record-breaking game one of these days. Next to Weyhing’s pitching, the hitting of Jack Doyle shines out most prominent, as it landed the game to the Senators’ cred- it, but Selbach’s catch of Anderson's fly will go on record as being the most sensa- tional piece of work ever performed at National Park. Doyle got in three safe hits, one a triple, and stole two bases. On the ‘field he was a mountain of strength, taking all of six chances, but the way he becked up the throws to the different play- ers was a most noticcable feature, he be- ing back of first or around the home plate on almost every close play at those points. Selbach’s great catch was of a long. drive by Anderson along the left field foul linc. Sel started for the ball as soon as hit. but as it was about to strike the ground he made a-plunge forward, got his right hand under the ball and clung to it for dear life. The force of his running sent iis body skimming over the gravel and dust for about twenty feet, and it was some minutes before the ‘breath came back into his stocky German frame. Keel- er’s catch last year and also the one this season were great performances, but Sel- bach’s work yesterday is entitled to first prize. Following is the score im detatl: ‘Washington.

From the London Times. The Marquis of Lorne, M. P., took the chair recently at a meeting of the foreign and colonial section of the Society of Arts when an address was delivered by Mr. J. Lowles, M. P., on “The British Empire, Its Resources and Its Future.” Mr. Lowles said that there was at the present time in both this. country and in the colonies a growing desire for closer knowledge of and acquaintance with our imperial concerns. Happily the day had gone by when a man would face an audience and say he was a Little Englander. It was in the reign of Queen Victoria. that the greatest strides had been made in colonization until at the present moment the British empire was fifty-three times the size of France, fifty- two times that of Germany, three and one-half times that of the United States of America, thrice the size of Europe, with treble the population of all the Russias. It extended over 11,000,000 square miles, oc- cupied one-fifth of the globe, contained one- fifth of the human race, or 350,000,000 peo- ple, embraced four continents, 10,000 isl- ands, 500 promontories, and 2,00) rivers. It was estimated that the empire possessed one-third of the sheep of the world, one- fourth of the cattle, and one-twelfth of the horses; The total shipping under the Brit- arsian, were succ i the better of the s. ernment, and an extending desire to pro- mote education in every possible way. Mr. Lowles described in detail the various re- sources of the colonies, and in short refer- ence to the Chinese question observed that every one would rejoice to find far east had been averted, and that Great Britain still stood predominant in that por- tion of the world. ———_+e+_____ Is Violent Death Painfal? From the New York Advertiser. Severe injuries to the body are seldom very paiwful at first. The severity of the nervous shock seems to paralyze the nerve center where consciousness of pain is situ- ated, and in fatal cases there is often no sense of pain, even when death is delayed a day or two. In such cases it may be sup- Posed that the shock not only paralyzes, but even destroys y 8 i i FF i f i i 499. | : | : | i H ef i if i i : & } i E ai] i I iff jit iF i i a: being scored on | > Tete eeeeresesoorsoecces ; Mertz’s ; 3?

Sth an & it SACK OF PORT AU PRINCE, How Morgan's neers Captured and Looted the Caban Olty. Frank R, Stockton in St. Nicholas. When the fleet arrived at the nearest harbor Morgan landed his men and marched toward the town, but he did not succeed in making a secret attack, as he had hoped. A Spanish or had let himself drop overboard, and, swimming ashore, had warned the governor of the at- ack, Thus prepared, this able command- er marched” a bedy of soldiers along the rad by which the pirates must com when he found a suitable spot he bul! formidatle barricade. Behind this his sol- dicrs were posted, with their muskets and their cannon. But when Morgan came within sight of this harricade he considered that it would be entirely unnecessary to attempt to dis- turb this admirable defense, so he marched led them entirely and a his men into the woods, around the barricade, and came out upon a wide plain before the town. Here he found that he would have to fight his way Inte the city, and, probably much to his surprive, his men were pres- ently charged by a body of cavairy. The pirates routed the horsemen, and after a fight of about four hours took pos- session of the town. Here they captured a great many priscrers, whom they shut up in the churches, and then sent detach- ments out into the country to look for those who had run away. Then these ut- terly debased and cruel men took their usual course after capturing a town; they pillaged, feasted and rioted. Even when everything the they wer if they did not pay two heavy ransoms they would be carried away into slavery, and that their town would be burned. For two weeks the pirates waited for the unfortunate people to go out Into the coun- try and find some of their fellow citizens who had escaped with a portion of their treasure. In those days people did not keep their wealth in banks as they do now, but every men was the cusiodian of most of his own possessions, and when they fied from the visitation of an enemy they took with them evei f that they could carry. Before the citizens returned Morgan made @ discovery; a ne- gro was taken who was carrying letters from the governor of Santiago, a 1 ing city, to some of the citizens of Port au Prince, telling them not to be in too great a hurry to pay the ransom, because he was coming with a. strong force to their assist- ance. When Morgan read the letters he changed his mind, and thought it would be a wise thing not to stay in that region any longer than could be helped. So he de- cided not to wait for the unfortunate citi- zens to collect the heavy ransom he de- but told them that if they en am furnish him with 500 head of cattle, also supply salt and help to prepar. meat for shipment, he would mak further demands upon them. do, and the buccaneers sailed away.
