Boston (ilobe, . “‘Nearly forty-four years Ihave heen in the service,” eaid Ccmmodore 0. C, Badger, of the Charlestown navy yard. *‘And you are to go on the retired list this month?" was asked. **Well, no, not until August. It has been reported that Iam to be retlred this month, but that report has doubtless arlsen from the fact that my term as commandant here has expired. There is s sort of unwritten law that the higher ‘officers of the navy shall have three years sea duty and three years shore duty al- ternately. My throe yeara' shore duty, which have been passed as command ant here, explred last Febraary. But as the new administration was to come In so soon, I was requested to remain In 1 | charge until delivered by order of the new secretary of the navy. 1 have now received notice that I am to be relleved by Commodore Kimberly, and I am mak- ing my preparations to leave.” ‘‘Have you been assigned to other duty?” “'Not ae yet. Iam npw ‘waitlng or- ders.’ 1 shall visit Washington and Nor- folk, where members of my family reside, and if unaesigned shall paes the few woeks yet remaining of active service at those plac ‘We are retired at 62, and 1 shall reach that age In August." ““And then?” “I think that perhaps my wifc and 1 may take a year in Europe. Although I have been in Europe eeveral times, I have never seen it. In my earlier years, while occupyling lesser positions, I could not easily leave the veesel when In port, and so I have never seen much of Europe.” “You say you have been forty four years in service’ *‘Yes; nearly. I was appolnted mid- shipman in 1841, That was before the naval academy was established, and we studied mathematics, seamanship, gun- nery and other necessary things on ship- bosrd. We had a teacher of mathema- tles with us, and we were obliged to un- dergo examinations at stated times.” “In 1843 1 was attached to the sloop- of-war Saratoga, and we had quite a live- ly little.affalr off the west coast of Afrles. It was at tho time of the agltation oon- cerning the slave trade and of the Ashburton treaty. We were ordered to the cosst of Guinea to LOOK OUT FOR SLAVERS, After cruising about for atime, we learned that a trading veasel, which belonged at Salem, had been captured by the natives, the crew killed, the cargo sefzed and the veseel burned, so that every vestige of the crime was removed. We were ord- ered on shore for the purpose of avenging the outrage, and had a lively skirmish with the natlves, capturing and destroy- ing the Bereby villages. We landed a small force of marines and a small field- piece which threw shrapnel. The natives were unclothed, save by a clout, and were armed with old-fashioned smooth-bore fltnt-lock muskets. They had also clubs, knives and spears, and 1t they had only known thelr strength, for they were 2000 or 3000 strong, they might have easily massacred us all. But they did not un- derstand the explosion and soattering of the sharpnel shot, ahd they broke and fied from their villages, abandoning them and we burnt them, Two or three of our men were wounded and one afterward dled.” “That was your firat engagement?” “‘Yes. Three years after, I was ap- pointed passed midshipman, which grade I held for twelve years, In 1855 I re- ceived a commlssion as master, and the eamo year as lleutenant. These years were pessed mostly In squadron duty, though the Mexican war gave us some lively work. In the latter year I was at tached to the eloop John Adams of the Pacific equadron. An 2merican vessel had been attacked by Feejee Lslanders, and the crew murdered and eaten. We were ordered to assail them In return, and I commanded a party which landed and attacked and destroyed the village of Vatia. It waes quitea lively ekirmish, very similar to that, several years boforo, on the Guinea coatt, Infact we had quite a number of skirmishes with the Feejees.” “‘Three years later I was attached to the Mediterranesn squadron. In these crulses In foreign waters we frequenily bad ccsasion to protect the Interests of our cit's'ns abroad, especially in the Uentral and South American states, whers revolutions are of frequent occurrence. A case in point has just occurred, our vessels of war being obliged to interfere to protect the rights of our citizens at the Isthmus of Panama, aud a party of marlnes left this navy yard yesterday, en route for the lsthmus to render thelr | 7 ald.” ““You saw some active eervice during the late war?’ ‘‘Detached from the Meditorranean squadron, which was, of course, ordered home at the DREAKING OUT OF THE WAR, I was, In 1861, attached to the steam frigate Minnesota, Later I commanded the steamer Anacosta of the Potomac flotilla, and in January, 1862, took part in the attack on Cockplt Point battery. In March of that year we were at Aquia Creek, and later took partin the slege of Yorktown and the attack upoa Glou- cester Polnt. In July of that year I was commissicned as lleutenant-com- mander, A year later came the battle at Morrls Island, and in the ssme month the attack on Fort Waener, where 1 commsanded the ironclsd Patapsco. In August of the same year we again at- tacked Wagner, and " also Forts Gregg and Sumter. In the attack upon Sumter I commanded the fronclad Montauk, A month later, as fleet captain, I was in command of the flagship Weehawken in the secend attack wpon Fort Sumter. This was September 1, 1863." ‘It was there that you recelved ycur 4 . I recelved there a severe wound in the leg, which kept me on my back for seven months and on crutches for a year and a halt. 1t is still troublesome, This practically ended mJ work In the war, In 18066 I was raised to the grade of com- mander, and was In command of the steaier Peorla of the North Atlantic squadron I was commissioned captain in 1872, In 1878 I commanded the old frigate Constitution In taklng out the ex- hiblts for the exposition at Parls, lu 1881 I received the rank of commodore, board at Washington. From 1882 to the present time I have been In command at this navy yard.” i “‘Your services has been varied?” “‘Yea. 1oannot say that my servica has been especlally brilllant, bat it has been usefal. Our forelgn squadrons, though but little is heard from them, are doing va'usble work. They are properly called the lice of the seas.’ If the cruising of war vessels were discontinued, pirates would he seen hovering about the en- trance of Boston harbor and all along our coast In less than a month.

They state that it happily supplants the objection- able and dangerous features of prepara- tions heretofore relled. upon, and which have often caused the death of children. ——— Colonel Underwood’s Kisses, Pittsburg Dispatch, “‘Of course,” sald the colonel, laugh- ing, ‘‘Kentucky is a great state. We have the hsndsomest women in the world; we make the best whisky, have the most fertile lands, ralse the beat horses and bave the purest air. What more could be asked? In addition to that our people pull together, bat they don't like snobhishuess. 1remember ono time I mas stumping one of the mountain counties. I bought 25 worth of nickels and pat them in my saddlebsgs. Every log cabin I would come to I would ride up and ask for a drink of water, Well, out would come a little boy or girl witha gourd dipper of warm water. 1 would take a swallow, then drop a nickel in the dipper. The littlo one would run in and I would go on. The child’s mother would come and have the fat gentleman polnted out. The consequence was that I got the vote out of that house. Well, one morn- ing 1 rode up to a house, and a little girl brought me out a dipper of water. I felt in my pocket and discovered that I hodn't_a copper. ‘Little girl,’ said I, ‘I generally have a nickel symewhere about me, but I havn't to-day, so I'll give you what's the next best thing for a gir), and thavs a Kkiss.' So I go: down off my horse and kissed her for my own little blue-eyed girl at home, “‘Another little black-eyed girl here showed up and I had to kiss her for a neice of mine whom she looked like. By this tlme another little girl ihowed up half a head taller than the regt, and not to be impartial I kissed her, when I found that four or five other girls had gathered and I saw I was In for it. So beginning with the smallastI kissed each one. ' The changs in stature was 80 gradual that I didn’c notice that the last one was a full-grown woman and right handsome at that, until T hud kissed her. Looking up I saw that theae were two or three old ladles laughing at me, and thinking I had made a bad bresk, I lifted my hat to the young lady and beg- ged her pardon, and explalned how it was. She didn’t seem to mind it much, but the old ladies kept laughing, and L tried to explain it, when one of them eaid: ‘Why, durn 1t, jedge, she's Blll's wife.” Well, I thought, I'm in for it. That knocks ont ~ my volee in this nelghborhood. Well. 1 inqalred in the next houge who Bill was and was told that it was ‘Buck’ Holmes the hardest citizen in Carter county. Next day I had to speak at the court house and when 1 came up I noticed a gang of about twenty-five rough looking fellows off at ene side and a big six foot fellow was talkingto them and gesticulating with both hands, *Who's that? Iinquired. ‘That's Buck Holmes and his gaog,” was the reply. The cold chills began ranning up my back and I shifted my revolver around up where I counld reach it without trouble and then I lounged up to hear what he was saying and get the lay of tho land, ‘Well, I'm biankety, blazed’ I heard him say: ‘If ther jedge dont ketch my vote.

PRAYE RS, They Have Been Effcctively Introduced—Some Novel Prayers—A Praying Machine, It is & singular fact, says a writer In Leviticus and Deuteronomy of the Jews there is not a single public prayer, nor one single fermula of public worship, There are no prayers lnstituted for their festlvitios of the passover, tabernacles, the pentecost, the trumpets, the general explation, or the new moon. Among the Romana there are no forms of a prayer left, yet their divinities had thelr own pe- culsar forms and ceremonials of worship, Perhaps one of the oldest prayers comes down to us from the Egyptians. It was ased In the myaterles of Isis. It is both short and beantiful: “‘The colestial powera obey thee; hell is In subjection to thee; the universe re- volves under thy moving hand; thy feet tread on 'l'artarue; the atars are respon- sive to thy volce; the seasons return at thy command; the elements are obedient to thy will.” There is also an ancient form that was supposed to have been used In the wor- ship of Orpheus, which is even superior to the one above: ‘‘Walk In the path of justice; adore the master of the uni- verse; he Is one alone and self-existent; all other belngs owe thelr exlstence to him; he acts both in him and by them, but has never made himeelf seen by mor. tal eyes. There are two notable instances in modern oratory where prayers have been effectively introduced. In Webster's great reply to Hayne on the Foote resolutions January 21, 1830, the great orator concluded his address, according to the late Prof. John W. Bowler, of Poughkeepsle, who was an eye-witness, Inthe form of a prayer, ralsing both hands toward heaven. So, too, did Charles Sumner, in his great oration on the barbariam of slavery, conclude In the form of a prayer, imitating the prayer of Demosthenes In his cratien on the crown, Dr. Johnson frequently conversed on the subject of prayer, and left a very beautiful one on his wife, the anniversary of whose death he always Lkept. The great lexlcographer always contemplated preparing a ret of prayers, believing that prepared prayers were much more acceptible than impromptu affaira. In this he was not unlike the lazy clergyman who al- ways repeated the Lord’s Prayer, and when asked by one of his parishoners why he did this, he replied: **Why, the Lord has made a graat deal better prayer than I can, so I prefer to use that.” In 1850 Elder Littlejohn offered up the following origlnal prayer, which, though intended for Indiana, will fit other states: 'O, Lord! there s great wickedness and much drunkennees in our Therefore, O Lord, we crave Thy blessing. Now, Milwaukes, just sprung up, is bad; Chi- cago, another mushroom, is worse. Yet do Thou, Lord, bless and improve them. Then, thero s Mich'gan City, a placa of sand and whisky, and La Porte, a place of mud and wickedness; and Indeed they need Thy blessing. And thereis South Bend, and also Niles, where they think themselves righteous, but they are fall of rum-holes end rottenness. Lord, they need Thy blessing. And here in Misha- waka, which boasts Itself tomething, but has nothing but self-righteousness, good Lord, open its eyes, that it may raceive Thy blessing. Then we have Elkhart, and Bristol, and Mottville, little things, but wioked. Do, Lord, bless them. [Then pausing for breath and ralsing his volce to the highest pitch.] And, lastly, then, dear, good Lord, even bless Con- stantine, where Gov. Barry eclls whisky at 3 cents a glass. Amen!’ It is not often that clergymen resort to the pulpit to get even with people of the world who overreach them, but a minis- ter In a corporate town of England, hav- ing been affronted by the mayor of the totvn, who was a butcher, determined to reslst the assault. Accordingly, on the followlng Sunday, when preaching before thils corporation, he Introduced this prayer as ap_occaslonal: *‘And slnce, O Lord, Thou hast commanded us to pray for our enemies herein, we beseech Thee for the right worshipfal the mayor. Give him the strength of Ssmpson and the coursge of David, that he may knock down sln llke an ox and sacrifice Iniquity like a lamb, and may his house be exalted above his brethren,”’ In one cf the southwestern states lived a father and son who were all very world- ly-minded people, and they gave the Methodlst preacher a great deal of anxie- ty, who labored long ard earnestly for their converaion, but apparently to little or no purpose. One day he recelved a call to go to the house and offer up a prayer for Jim, who had bcea bitten by a rattlesnakc,and his death was momen- tarlly expected. He wen' and prayed in this wise: ‘O Lord, we thank Thee for all Thy manifold blessings, We thank Thee for those that Thou sendeth against our wishes. rattlesnakes; we thank Thee that a rat- tlesnake has bltten Jim. We pray Thee to send another rattlesnake to bite Tom. We pray Thee to send another rattle- snake to bite Jack, and, O Lord, we pray Thee to send the blggest kind of a rattle- snake to bite the old man, for we verlly belleve that nothing short of rattlesnakes will ever do this family any gocd.” The natlves of Circassfa and Georgla have a praying-machine called the *‘kur- da,” which 18 a sacred utensll, and found in all their temples. 1t is a cylindrical { | vessel of wocd or metal, elther very small or very large. In the center is a fixed fron axle, but the interlor of the oylinder, which 1s quite hollow, s filled with sacred writings, the leaves of which are all stuck to one another at the edge throughout the whole length, A close cover is fixed at each end, and the whole ‘“‘kurda” is very neatly finlshed, printed on the outside with allegorical {nscrlp- tlons or Indlan prayers, avd varnished. The cylinder is fastened upright in a frame by the axis, so that the lacter, by means of a wheol attached to it below, may be i string, and with ght pull kept in constant rotary motlon, When this cyl- inder 1s large another half as large and filled with writing is fixed for ornsment. at the top of it. The inscription on such prayer-wheels commonly conslsts of masses for souls, psalms, and the six grest general litanles, in which the most moving petltions sra preferred for the welfare of all creatures. The text they sometimes repeat & hundrad or even a thousand times, attributing from super- stition & proportionately augmented ef- tect to this petition, and belleving that by these freuent copies, combined with thelr thousands of resolutions, they will prove so much the more efficaclons, On the dwellings of priests and on the roofs of temples these small machines sometimes seen placed in rows by way of ornament, Thy re not only placed over gates, but even set up in fields and 80 adjusted that they will move by the Instance in Modern Oratory When the Cinclnnatl Enquirer, that In the We thank thee for |2 wind, four sails like spoons hollowed out being adjusted to them. There are slmilar kurdas sticks of moderate thickness; leaden welght {s then fastoned to the cylinder by a string, which, when it s once set In motlon, keeps 1t, with the help of the stick, constantly going. Such pray- er-wheels, neatly wrought, are fastened upon short sticks to a small wooden ped- estal, and stand upon the altars for the use of plous persons, While the prayer-wheel s thus turned around with one hand the devotee takes the rosary In the other, and at the o time re. peats penitential psaline, Kurdas . are sometimes set in ochlmneys and kept In motfon by the smoke and ourrent of air a8 long as the fire lasts, Then sometimes they are erected on a small stream of water upon a foundation like that of a mill, over which a house Is bullt to pro. tect it against the ‘Inclemency of the weather. By means of the wheel at- tached to it and the current the cylinder Is In like manner kept In a ciroular mo- tlon. These water prayer-wheels are bullt on a large ecale and maintained at the joint expense of tha Inhabitants of the district. They have a reference to all the aquatic animals whether dead or allve, whose temporal and eternal happ!- ness s the alm of the writings contained in them. John Ward was a member of parlia- ment and a very wealthy man in Pope’s time. The latter has damned him to everlasting fame, in company with “Waters Charteris and the devil.” He actually made the following odd prayer, which was fir:t printed In Kog's Journal. *O Lord! Thou knoweth that I have nine houses in the city of London, and likewise that I have lately purchased an estate In fee simple in the county of Essex. Lord I beseech The to preserve the two counties of Hssexand Middlesex from fires and earthquakes; and, as I have a mortgagein in Hertfordshire, I beg Thee likewise to have an eye of compassion on’that county. And, Lord, as for the rest of the counties Thou mayest deal with them as Thou art 0, Lord, enable the bank to and meke all my Give a prosperous debtors good men. voyage and retura to the Mermaid sloop, which I have insared, and, Lord, Thou hast sald that the days of the wicked are short, and I trust that Thou wilt not for- got Tby promises, having purchased an estate in reversation of Sir T. P., a profi- gate young man. Lord, keep our funds from sinking, and If it be Thy will let there be no sinking fund. Keep my son Oaleb out of evil company, and from gaming heuses. And sanctify O Lord, this night to me from thieves and fire, and make Thy servant honest and careful whilst I, Thy servant, lie downin Thee, O, Lord. Amen. The philanthropist Jonas Hanway ouce advertised for a coachman, and among the humorous applicants was one whom he told he would employ, provided his recommendations proved trustworthy. “‘But, I am a rather particular man, and perhaps I ought to Inform you that every evening, after the work at the stable Is done, I shall expect you to coms to my house for a quarter of an hour to attend family prayers. To this, 1 suppuse. you can have no objectione.” *‘Well, sir,” sald the man, scratching his head, *“I do not see much to say agalnst it, but 1 hope you will consider it in my wages.” Sir Willlsam Windham sald that the shortest prayer he ever heard was from a common soldier, just befora the battle of Blenheim: ‘O God, If there be a God, eave my soul, if I have a soul.” “Your prayer, Sir Willlam,” sald Bich- op Atterbury, who was at the same table with him, “Is indeed very short, but I remember another us short, but much better, offered up llkewise by a poor soldler under the same clrcumstances: ‘0 God, If in the day of battle I forget Thee, do not forget me!” Many aslight sarcasm has been thrown out in the form of aprayer. A Presby- terian minister in the reign of King Willlam IIL, performing public wor- ehip In the town church at Edinburgh, made this prager: ““Lord have mercy upon fools and idiots, and particularly upon the town councll of Edinburgh.” A definition both plthy and pertinent was Robert Hall’s family prayer: It is the edge and the border which keeps the web of life from unraveling.” Prayers for weather have been fra- quently offered up, but probably none ever met with the response that came from Dr. K, an eccentrlc but stralght- forward New England preacher: *The fool,” he eald, *‘who wants me to pray for rain onght to know thera'll be no rain till the moon changes.” The man was considerably blufted at this intenecly practical view of the subject that the parson took, but that evening the clergy- man went to attend a missionary meeting some distance In the country, and a vio- lent storm arose; he loet his horse and buggy by the heavy rain in one of the creekes, much to the enjoyment of the man who wanted the raln prayed for. ——— If you suffer from looseness of the bowels Angostura Bitters will surely cure you TReware of counterfeits, and ask your grocer or druggist for the genuine article, prepared by .
