The country scems to co on the oveof & groavrovolution and the protection of our foreign citizens thero is going to requiro both nerve and diplomacy. During my visit to China about two years ago I found the ma- jority of tho peoplo opposed to foreigners and at overy oncof the treaty ports there was an anti-foreign party which did all it could to excite the masses against tho foreigners. Among other things they publisiod a maga- zine which was illustrated. This wmagazine contained a graphic description of how the foreigners ground up Chinese children and made medicine of them, It had p ctures of American girls packing the medicino in boxes and in the samo cuts woro pictures of seoth- ing cauldrons in the soup of which babies’ arms, legs and heads bobbed un and down. In one picture the babies were being cut up for grinding and in another the piecos of them were being weighed 50 that just so much Chinese baoy went into each package of medicine. The Chineso text, as translated for me, stated thut this was a common mothod of making medicine in China and that the Americans and English have as their chiof business in China the making of such medicines and that they stole Chinose babies for this puepose. Babics' Liyes for Photographic Ma- al. The great disturbance which we had in Korea some years ago, when our naval force was cailed 10 the capital from one of our ves sels in tho harbor of Chemulpo to dofend tho American minister, arose from this anti-for- cign influence which has also strongth in Korea. Theso people had circulated the re- port that the Americans wero stealing hittle Koreau babies and grinding up their eyes to make photographic materfals. It was whis- perod abroad that an American liked nothing better than a slice of a Korcan baby done brown, and tho statement was current throughout tho 100,000 huts of the Korean capital that our minister, Mr. Dinsmore, had given a party the woek before at which two juicy babies had been served to tho guests. The peoplo were wild. Mother love and father love 1s as strong among the celestials as among the Christians, and such statements as these make Chinese and Korean blood boil. The masses look uvon the foreigners as bar- barians and they are willing to velieve such stories. Our minister would have been mobved at Korea at this time had it not veen for the king, wha sent out a proclamation saying that any man who was found circulating such re- ports would be oxecuted, and telling the peo- plo that. theso forcigners wore kind_ hearted, cultured people like thumselves aud they would not be s0 inhuman as to eat babies How Soft Soap Ruined a Missionary. During my stay at Canton I met a mission- ary and his family from the interior of China, ‘The man came from Obio und he was a very intelligent fellow. His sister, a medical missionary, was with him. Their house had been burned and they bad been robbed by the Chinese through this superstition in regard to American medicine. 1t happenod that this medical missionary had o voung Chinaman who was studying medicing with hor and this Chinaman bad u some way obtained possession of a skeleton which e kept in his room at the missiouary’s house, ‘’he Chineso kuow nothiug of anatomy and their medical systen: consists largely in doses a8 big as horse powders and in suporstitious incantations, the birning of joss paper and such things, They know nothing of the use of the skeloton and their reverenco for thei stors is such that thoy would decidediy resent our custom of dissection. Now, just at the time that tnis skeleton was Iying on the table iz tho young Chinaman’s om, the wifo of the missionary got out of soup. She has been raised in the country and she concluded to muke s0me sott s0ap 4 sho had seen her parents do at home. She mado « barrel of it. Then the story became noised abroad that this missionary's home was a medicine factory und something like three or four Chinese babios were ground up i it every day. A mob collected within a short ime ana,attacked the houso. They found tho soap. It was a now material to Chinese eves and it smelled like medicine. They went upstairs and found the bones and the evidence was prima facio so strong that they burnt the housoand the missionary’s family bad & narrow oseape for their lives, Baby Cooking ana the Tientsin Mos- sacro. The terrible Tientsin massac which the Catholic sisters of tho orphanage of that city were killed, came from this charge that they weresteating Chincse babies and cooking them for medicine. Lientsin is a city of nearly a million peopte and the mob numbered thousands. They burst into this French missionary establishment, sot firo to the convent and literally tore the' women to pleces and threw their remains into the flames, There werea hundred cbildren in the orphanage and these wero seized and thrown mto prison and questioned. They would not suy anything against uhe sisters and at the end of 51x weeks they were givon over to missionaries who were sent from Pe- king to tuke care of them. There were many other foreigners killed during this massacre and the Chinese in & mob liko this do not dis- tinguish between American and English or botweon French and German. All are the same to them. They are foreign barbarians and they call them ail by the names of *Red- headed, blue-eyed foreign dovils,” aud a for- olgr.er caunot go slong the streots of a Chi- nebe city without being greeted by this opi- thet. He does not understand 1t because he @oos not know Chines, but the vilest ot jokes and the most vulgar expressions are uttered against the foreignors as they pass hrough the stroets of tho larger Chinese civios. Our Ministers to Ohin 1 saw ex-Sonator Henry W. Blair of New Hampshire in the Astor house ie New York the other duy. He told me that he did not re- grot hus rejection by the Chineso us minister to China and that he would accept no other forelgn mission though be wight have had one had ho chosen. He will probably setile somewnero in the west and may possibly ractice law. The forcing of Blair upon the Ehlnoln notwithstanding their objection would_not huve been a uew thing in our treatnient of China and it is a question as to whetherChina will uot have in every case to be driven rather than lead. No concessions have ever boon gotten from China whnich amounted to anything except through fear and our first treaty with China was the result of the buildozlug of Caleb Cushing who was sent to that country by John Tyler in 1843 at an expense of $0,000 to the govern- ment. He had sn able squadron with him and ho forced the goveruor to recelve him at Canton, He wanted to go to Peking and the Chinese did not want him to go further into the oountry than he then was. They sent & messenger to the emperor and this man in time brought back an imperial eavoy who aftor much objection made a treaty with Caleb Cusbing and the United St Cushing was very anxions to go to Peklng sod hofmundm( to foroe his way into the Dresence of tho emperor if ne got there, and mid that be did not intend to bump bis head aineteen fimos against the floor 4s was the custom, The arrival of the imperal euvoy however prevented him, and he brought back the treaty. The treaty was ratified and A. M. Eyeott of Massachuselis was our first mivister 1o China. He oled W Chioa | '8 of 1870, in | minister in 1847, just about the time he arrived there. 'He wnas & man of much oulture and wide diplomatic experience. He graduated ut Harvard with the highest bonors at tho age of 14, stualed law with Johr Quincy Adams and wae part of his legation whiie he " minister to While John Adams was prosident £ minister to Spain and when Andraw Jackson becamo president he came back home and bought the North American Review, which he edited, He wrote large number of books and had he lived ho might have mado an excellent to_ Chinw, Tho first treaty with China which England® got from her was through war, anda the second war, in which tho United States took part brought outa now treaty in 1857. At this time Dr. John Ward was sent to China by Buchanan as minister. He arrivea in Peking, but fused to get down on his knees aud bump his head before tho emporor, Mr. Ward 1s now Jiving in Morristown, N. .I., and he practic law in Now York. Aftor him we had n min ister named Ikeed, and in 1463 the noted mis- sionary, Mr. S. Wells Willisms, became sec- retary of legation. Ho is the best authority on ali Chinese mattors and has written the best book ever written on China, During a part of the time he was sec ary, Anson Jurlinggamo was minister and it was ho who brought China into close communication with tho outsid) world. Of late there has been but little trouble with the Chinese, but they do not and have never treated foveign minis- ters well. They try to mako them contemp bla in the oyes of their people and to make tho Chinese masses believe that they are only subjocts or tribute-bearers to the emperor, Tho street of Peking along whicn the lega- tion buildings aro erected is known there by the title, *“The Street of the Subject Nations,” Tho emperor receives forcign ministers only when bo has to and foreixn ministers are not iuvited to the homes of Cisineso ofticials nor do many of them consider them ou a social equality with them. Ihe Cistol or the Bowie Knife, During an interview which I vecently nad with Goneral Cassius M. Clay, the noted Kentucky elndiator, 1 asked oim which h cousiderad the safest weapon to use in a per sonal encounter, the pistol or the bowie knife “The bowio knife by all means,” replicd Goneral Clay. *The by svolvers often missos fire and you may get so close to your enemy s to be unaole to uso it. Your bowie knife nover misses and scientifically used it willeut to the doath every time. During my lifo1 buye had to beon my guard.

The build- ing is almost Tire proof and the greater part of it was constructed while General Ciay wits 10 the midst of his political troubles and his enemies were attempting to shoot him or run him out of the The subject of ¢ and of his nerve in a quarrel was somewhat discussed in the National Capital Press club by a party of southerners last week and Colonel William Starritt of the Galveston News said that Clay made him think very much of General Sam Houston, the noted Texan. Said Colonel Starritt : “Houston was afraid of nothing. He won the attention of General Jackson by his desporate bravery i fighting the Indians and Juckson was his closest friend and ad- Vi » 1t was Jackson who gave him the ad- vice as to the steadying of his nerves i duel. I'have heard the story in Texas. was whilo he was ia cougress and he h duel to fight with General White, Jackson told him that before ho went to the field he should put a good-sized leaden bullet in his pocket and just before ho was ready to firehe should tuke this out and put it in bis mouth. *You can bite on this_bullet, said Andrew Juckson, ‘and you will find it will steady your nerves and you will gat a fair shot at your opponent.’ Houston did_this, and ho said he found the recipoto work like a charm, He wounded White and came off himself without a shot.” A New :tory of Sam Hcuston's Mar- riage. By the way,” continued Mr. Starritt, “I have never seen in print the true story of Sam Houston’s first marriage. They havo one version in_Tennessee, but there is an- other version in Texas. Ihe Tennessee story is that while Houston was governor of the state he fell n love with a very protty young Iady named Allen and proposéd to her, and after a time was accepted. Within a very short time, the next auy after the marriage, L think, ne left his wife without a word of explavation. He protested that the cause of separation in no way affected his wife's char- acter. Ho loft 'Pennessee and went among tho Cherokees and lived with them for threo years, And during this time it is said thiat ho got u Cherokes wife, Asto the last I do not know, but the marriago and separation are conceded facts. Now, in Tennessee it was claimed that as soon as the wedding party was over Governor Houston’s wifo toid her husband that ske had been forced mto the marriage by her parents, and that she. loved another. Hous~ ton thercupon said that he would not compel her to live with him, but that he would give her a divorco by leaving tho state, ‘This Lie did, taking ail tho blame, In Texas 1t is said that this story raay or may not be true, but that another reason for his leaving his' wifo was a wound in his shouid: resulting from a shot which ho nad received in tho lodian wars, which at this time made him very offensive to those who were closely ussociated with him. At all events, he acted most magnanimously in the matter, and he never made a public explanation of his course. He marriod again after ho went to Texas and there are a nuber of his chil- dren living in the state today. Thero are several boys and one girl. The voys ura bright, weli-to do young men, and the girl is a brilllant writer, and she not'long ago wrote a scathing roview of somo article which bad been published concorning her father. The Bowie Knife of Martin of Texis, Speaking of Texna recalls the bowio knife of Judge Murtin and the fact that the noxt congress will be free from the danger of a wrust from it. During bis last davs in con- gress Martin was pining for a fight. Ho went around, it 13 said, with this bowie knifo slung back of his neck and ho longed for an opportunity to use it on the adiposs form of Thomas B, Reod. He could not understand how such words as he heara could be used in congress between gontlemon and not cause a fight. He thought himself the special pro- tector of Mills and ho sometimos got up ciose to him during his controversies with Reed. At one time, when o domocratic member aenounced Reed, Martin rushed to the front of tho house and threw his bony finger at tho spoaker's desk and yolled out, “Disin’t you hoarn itt He deagunced yo,' ho denounced yo.” Ho evi dently expected Reed to come down from the chair’ and fignt and he was eagor for tho fray. Murtin looked for days for tho corre- spondent who reported the story of his blow- ing out tho gas at Willard’s hotel, and ho threatened to cut off the ears of the page who fooled him about the telephone. This telepnone lucident was put up by some of the practical jokers of congross. 1t was at the time of tho congressional conyention Lhat nominated Martiu's successor. Theso prac- tical jokers took their stand in the committes room 1n Ben Butler's house across the way and called through the telephone for Judge Martin. The page rushed to the house and told the judge that some one wunted him at the telephione. Martin hardly know what & tolephone was but he finally got up and went out. Heasked the boy to do the talking. ‘The boy, who had been coached, said, It is a telophione from your convention in ‘fexas. “They are teliing you how things are going on “All right,” said Judge Martin, “what do they say " “'Ihey say,” replied the oy, “that they think you will win.” “Ts thut sol" ropiled Martin, “Keep a listenin’." “Thoy say, judge contioued the boy, “they want to know what you think of the alliance and will you vote for free silyor, and they want you to tell them what you will do on averything.” +0," said Judge Martin, Swill you just tell them you can’t find me.” Martin thea loft the capitol. In thros hours he came back expecting to find himself olected. When Lo found he had been sold he was mad, and when a telogram came saying the other man was nominated he was the maddest man in Washington, The boy kept away from the house for days aud Martin never caught him.

Recorder, No braver officer ever trod the of an American man-of-war than Duncan N. Ingrahum. He made one and tremendous mistake when he went over to the confederacy in 1861 and turned his briiliant talents against the govern+ ment he had gallantly upheld for near! half & ceutury, but in the days when he was fighting under the stars and stripes he was an example and a type of what every American naval oflicer ought to be. For nearly a generation before his death he lived a lifo of great retirement, 80 much so that he has been put down in many of the biographical dictionaries having died in 1563, but less than forty years ago his name was ringing through two continents, and he was recognized by his own countrymen as one of the g reatest of their 1 heroes and the staunchest upholder of American rights abroad. Ingraham inherited fighting blood. His father, Lieutenant William Ingra- ham, was the most intimate friend of ¢ Paul Jones, and served as first officer of the Bon Homme Richard in tho desper- ate encounter with the Dritish frigate nborough Head in 177 NS W 1 his adversar; wanting inquiry whether he had enough with the historically cool v mark that he had only just begun to fight. The future commotore was ap- pointed o midshipman on June 18, 1812 when he was but little more than 9 years old, and it was not long before ha began to' show his mettle. Thero is a little story about im at that time which was told” years later with a relish, ptain Peter Dagactt was coust pilot of the [rigate Congr upon which the boy saw his ivee. One day in 1813, while at sea, they saw a ship, which they afterward took and made o prize of. When the ship was discovered in the distance Captain Dag- gett and the “middy” were on the fore- yard, and the older' man was looking at the vessel with a glass. The young midshipman inquired “What 4o you make of her, sir?” \ptain D ook the boy under his arm and ran out to the end of the yard where he could get a better view of the ship. “*Oh, sir,” said the boy, I hope she a frigate, and that we shall have a hard fight, and that every officer over me will be killed. Then I shall be captain and you and I will take the two ships to port in grand New York deck sad when_Jones he boy lived to serve through three rs and he never showed the white As ho grew in experience ho not only displayed the greatest bravery, but showed the finest appreciation of ‘a naval officer’s obligations to his count We can’t afford tolet old Ingr: memory die even though he w rebel,” said a naval officer who made an enviable vecord for gallantry during the war, the day after the commodore’s death. *“The groatest piece of good for- tune that ever came to mo was being placed under the command of such o man in the early days of my scrvice. He was an inspivation to me'and to every youngster who was brought within his influence. We looked up to him and revered him. He wus the ideal to which every one of us inspired. *Why,’ he ex- claimed, excitedly springing from his ch and eagerly pucing the floor as memory came Hooding back, ‘we would have followed him to hell!”” Martin Koszta was one of the bravest of the Hungarian patriots of the revolution of 1848. He wus military aide and sec- retary of Louis Kossuth, and at tlze close of the disasterous revolutionary move ment he fled with others from the Aus- trian dominions and took refuge in Turkey. Austria demanded his extradi- tion, but the Turkish government re- fused to give him up, although he with some of his companions were confined at Kutahia. They were finally released with the understanding that they should quit the Turkish dominions, and Koszta accompanied Kossuth on the latter’s memorable visit to the United States. On the 31st of July, 1852, Koszta declared his intention of "becoming a citizen of the United S and inthe spring of 1853, having securew a passport, I New York for Smyrna on business with the intention of returning to the United States. As soon as the Austriun consul at the port of Smyrna learned of the exile’s ence in that city he set about his As the Hungarian was un- derstood to have papers from the United States government, the consul resorted to a questivnable expedient to accomplish the end desived. On the night of the 2Ist of Juue, 1853, while Koszta was quietly smoking at a Greek cotfee house on the wharf, he was sud- denly set upon by a hired bund of Greek bravos, who threw a lasso over his head and hustled him to the edge of the wharf, He was thrown into the water of the harbor, and a crew from the Austrian man-of-war Hussar, lying in wait for the purpose, picked him up and carried the unfortunate Hungarian a captive to their ship. It has been said that the Austrians had a clumsy idea that by this procedure they could avoid the complications which might arisen from seizing their prisoner d rectly on neutral soil, but if that their object the precautions were hurdly necessury, as the Turkish olticers would not have interfered in any event. The affair created intense excitiment in the foreign colonies of the city. The American consul 3 waited upon the authorities and said that he understood that Koszta had be- come an American citizen. No Amer- ican vessol was in ort at the time and no attention was paid to his represent tion. Two days later the sloop- of-war St. Louis, with Captain Ingraham in command, eame to anchor in the harbor. The old St. Louis was a sailing sloop-of-war of ubout 600 tons, carvying twenty guns, with a immediately crew of 220 men—a typical old-time *‘water bruiser,” but very eflicient for that day, and comparing favorably with the corvettes of foreign powers. Her commanding otficer survived all but threo or four of the officers who werae under him at the time, but among the passed midshipmen were Messrs, Gher- ardi and Braine, who subsequently be- camo admirals, and one of the midsnip- men was Captain R. W, Meade of the navy, a nephew of General Meade, who kopt'a journal of the events, and in whose graphic language the remainder of the story can best be told, “I was only a boy of 15 at the time, says Captain Moade, *‘but I remember the circumstances distinctly, although it was thirty-eight years ago and I was a young ‘reefer’ of only a couple of yours’ oxpericnce. We had been cruis- ing in the Levunt, and on the night of June 22 the wind fell light and we an- chored under the land to wait for a. breeze. 'The next day we got under way and about 2 in the afterncon an. chored off the city of Smyrna. Hardly was the anchor down when Mr. ~Offley, our consul, visited the ship = and told Commander Ingraham that two daysbefore one Mar- tin Kosata, who was said to be an Amer- ican citizen, had been kidnaped and taken by the crew of an Austrian man- of-war to their vessel in the harbor, where he was confined in ironsin the hold. All this in bold defiance of the Turkish authorities, whom the Austrians seemed to hold in utter contempt. When Mr. Offfiey had left the St. Louls a delogation of citizens of various na- tionalities, most of them English, vis ited Captain Ingraham and begged him to save Koszta's life. “The captain did not need any urging He had his gig manned without uelay and went at once on board the Hussar, The Hussar was a brig of war of about | four hundred tons and carrying eighteen guns. Upon Ingraham’s arrival he asked to see Martin Koszta, an alleged | American citizen, who was understood | to be on board, The eaptain of the Hussar was on shore and the first licu- tenant met the inquiry by replying that no American citizen named Koszta was | on the ship. Captain Ingraham s | astonished at this, but he repaired | once to the mainland and went div- ectly to the ,residence of the Ause trian consul, .« 'where he found the captain of the Hussar and repeated his request. This Austrian commande who n Iinglishman by birth, luetantly admil that Koszta was on board the Husspr. This seemed to stir Captain Ingraham up more than ever, and with some remarks that reflected rather sharplyoh the duplicity of the licutenant, he“demanded peremptorily that he be givéh'un interview with the prisoner at ouee, unencumbered with fetters. The dewmand was complied with. Koszta. in his interview, did not claim American citizenship, but asserted only that he had filed his declaration to be- come n citizen, having resided for two years in the United States. During the conversation he told Captain Ingraham that if he were sent to Trieste it meant to him either death ovlifelong imprison- ment in an Austrian dungeon. Cap Ingraham left h hopeful, and for sev- eral days there was a spivited corre- spondence between the Austrian i American officials. Finally the Austrian consul declared to Mr. Ofley that he should send Koszta to Trieste by the next steamer of the Austrian Lloyd’s line, at which Ofiley protested both orally and in writing. SIngraham's protest was of quite a different kind. The St. Louis quietly got under way and dropped down to the anchorage of the Hussar. Then the guns were shotted and the Austrians were informed that Koszta must not leave the ship until time had been given our side to communi with the American charge fairs a Constantinople.

The total ty- three guns and about 530 men against our twenty guns and 220 men. But Ingraham’s demand was complied with. “On the night of the Ist of July, Captain Ingraham received a dispatch from Mr. Brown, our charge d’affaires at Constantmople, saying in substance that Koszta had not completed his naturalization, and that any interfer- ence on our part must be mainly on the ground of humanity, thus throwing the whole burden of vesponsibility on the shoulders of Ingraham. ~The captain was equal to the oceasion. Ingraham got his dispateh from Con- stantinople on the night of the 1st of July. At S o'clock the next morning he sent a peremptory demand for the sur- render of Koszta by 4 that alternoon, coupled with the threatof forcible seiz- ure unless the demand were complied with. “The surrender s refused and both sides made preparations for battle, The Artemesia, a iar twelve-gun schooner fisted with' sweeps, got under way and stood off and on across the bows of the St. Louis, ready to pour in a rakin broadside as soon as the signal for bat- tle was given. The three stenmers got up steam and the whole harbor was astir with excitement, “On board the St. Louis the : ments were quietly and silently made The guns were niready cut loose, magnzine and shell rooms made ready. The topsail yards were must-headed and the sails stopped with split vope yarns so0 that the ship could be got under way without sending the crew aloft. The rigging wus ‘snaked down,’ cables were mude rveady for slinping, and also springs on ¢ables ready for a fight at anchor if necessury; all bulkheads were taken down and the decks sanded to ab- sorb the blood that was expected to flow.

Not a man was there in the The consisted guns, the and threo car use tion at no if s other countries, but it gave to the United States a standing and a charactor among the nations of the earth which we had not before enjoyed. Immediately afte the occurrence the Austrian govern- ment, before making any communication to the government of the United States, addressed a circular letter of complaint and protest to all the principal European cabinets, Some took the side of Austria and others remained neutral, Chevalier Hulseman, the Austrian harge at Washiogton, in his lewter to ecretary Mavey, assumed that Koszta was seizeéd by virtue of treaties existing between Austrin and Turkey, and that, as no satisfactory evidence had beou ad- duced as to his being an American eiti- zen, he was still an Austrian subject. cretary Marcy in his veply justified Ingraham’s conduct, maintained the right of any subject to dispatriate him- seif, and declined to compiy with the ustrian demand. The plucky eantain became the lion of the hour. All Kurope was ngitated with his fame and monster meetings were held in his honor in every large eity of the United States. The secre- tary of the navy sent him a letter of thanks, and was presented with n medal by joint resolution of congr Medals were also given by the city of New York, and the state of North Carolina.

For four years he was chief of the bureau of ordinance in the navy. Then came the civil war, and Ingraham went with his state. It was a terrible for the old man, and he was never afterwards quite the samo, He could not find it in his heart to fight ist the old flag with the same spirit he had displayed when sheltered by its folds. The trophies won by his gallant conduet at Symrna were buried in the ground to escape the destroying army of Shernian, but they were dug up and eacried away to the north and the oid sailor would never lift a finger to regain them.

Monthly: Junius Snn ship’s company but was ready to fight to the last gasp to sustain the bold skippor who had thrown out his challenge in re- sponse to the cry of humanity. *All the while, unknown to -us, plomacy was af work. Through entire forenoon hoats were plying be- tween the Hussar and the shore. The Austrian consul-general was tevrified at the idea of a fight. He knew that in such an event the guara of marines about the consulate would have to be withdrawn, and he woald be at the merey of the vrefugees, of whom there were a large number in Smyrna. Neither did he rvelish the idea of a precarious refuge on a man-of-war with battlo in the air. It was presently suggestad by the Austrians thotif Koszta was handed over to the French consul to abide the vesult of a conference hetwoen the Austrian and American consuls, vible scene of bloodshed might be spared. Ingraham’s only objoct was to awve the life of Koszta and he knew that this compromise would affect it, o it was agreed. At 4 o'clock Koszta was taken on shore and delivered over tothe French consul and from that time he was practically free. The Austrian naval officers were chagrined, but they were bound to submit to the ovders of the consul general. If it had not been for this they would have made a desper ato fight and as the conditions stood at 4 o'clock with a dead calm prevailing the odds were greatly in their favor. Yot every mun aboard the St. Louis be lieved that we would make hash of that brig in short order, At the very close range, fifty yards, the Austrian’s long 24-pounders were ubout as good as our short thirty-twos. But the steamers and that infernal schooner, with her sweeps, would have played the devil, for with a calm there was no chance to maneuvre, and springs on cables are often shot away. All day long officers and mon were quiet as if nothing un- usual were going on. They laughed and joked much as usual, but there was an ndercurrent of grave demeanor, for no man on that ship felt any confidence that he'would see the noxt day’s sun rise. The final touch was given when, on the morning of the Pourth of July, the Austrian commander hoisted the American flag and saluted it with twenty s, That last stroke won old Ingraham’s heart. “About ten days later, Koszta having left Smyrna, twa large Austrian frigates came in the harbor and anchored di- rectly across thg course we should have taken in going out, This stirred Ingra- n up again. When we had got under we passed right between them with our cannon loaded, the men at quarters, primers in guns and lockstrings taut. iverything was neady to' give them i Yankee broadside if they should seek to hinder our movembnts.
