You all know that Galveston was surrendered tothe foc fleet commanded by Commodore 1ten- shaw in October, 1862, without any de- fenso whutever. RLVY ised a howl of fudi tion all over state, and Brigadie Geonoral Paul O, Hebat of Louisinna who was in command of the department, was suspended, and Major General John Bankhead Magruder was sent from Vie- ginia to nssume command. Magruder was fond of wine, women and fighting, and always had a lot of women dangling at his heels, who were generally known as ‘Magruder’s sccond stafl.” e doter- mined to recapture the place, and for this purpose fitted up the siver steamers Bayou City and Neptune No. 2 with bareieades of cotton hul formed them into gunbonts. “We had also quite a land forc Virginia Point, o few miles nerc bay from the city, where formids es and trans- Galveston 'l‘ln* fedc with the ma s consisted of ll\v: men- were also ||||e\- compa- ‘orty-second Massachusetts infantry, commanded by Colonel Burrell barricaded on one of the wh *On the night of Dacember 31, 1862, Magruder commenced moving his land forces from Virginin Point to the city, and massed his y several of the wharves where they um\d open fire on the gunboats in the harbor atdawn, Al the sigaal of attack the ‘cottonclads,” which were to be waiting afow miles further up th steam down and engage the gunboats. “Magruder fired the £ gun, and the action soon heeame general all along the line, and within half an hour the co federates had been driven from their guns and retired in disorder out of range. At this juncture the ‘cotlon- clads,” under Commodore Leon Smith, came steaming down. The first vessel encountered by them was the Harriet Lane, which was promptly attacked and was fought vigorously, The Lano sunk the Neptune, but “the Bayou City ran into her and beeame en- tangled in her wheel. Sharpshooters cloared her decks, and sho was carvied by boarding, Captain Wain wright, father of Marie Wainwright, the ‘ucivess, being shot dead on the bridge as he was giving ovders as to the methoa of fighting his ship. *The second 1 command of the Har- riev Lane was Lieutenant Fdward Len, who had remained by the ‘old flag’ when his native state secedod from tho union. His father, Major Albert M. Lea, for whom the town of that name in Minne- sota is numed,had cast his fortunes with the_confederacy, and was with Magru- der’s forces. I'ather and son had not met for years, for when the war broke out the young lieutenant, then a mid- shipman, was in the Chin *Shortly after Wainwright was shot dend Licutcoant Lea foll mortally wounded, was carried below, and the ship surrendered. Major Lea being ac- corded permission, went on board and asked if his son was nboa “An officer replied: ‘Yes, wounded,” ***1 am his father.” ** *Yes, | see: come with me,? “He was led to his son. who was lying in the cockpit, surrounded by the dead and dyin, S Rdward, it MY ng) l.l“ll‘l not move,’ * *My son, are you badly wounded?’ * Yes, fother, but I hepe not mor- tally.’ “Mujor Len then turned to the sur- geon, Dr, ’enr of Philade!phla, and asked if his son w 8 mortally wounded. The reply was *Yes. **Iow long has he to live?’ ‘Perhaps an hour, possibly some and badly s your father.’ L Iknow you, but T ean- *Is it hest to leave him here to die or tako him ashore? " *We may be fired on hero by tho flect; better talko him ashore ut ence,’ "llv handed some brandy to the father for the son, who, thus revived, said: **ather, Tam now senior officer of this ship, I wish you to arrange with General Magruder to allow the wounded men to be sent to New Orleans by water to suve the suffering from transportation by land to the interior.’ **Oh, my son, dou’t trouble yourseli about that now. The whole fleet and the troops are about to surrender and be gent to New Orleans.’ **I'he lieutenant then frowned and turned away his face. **His father then left the shin to look for a conveynnce. When ho mot, Gen- eral Magruder on the wharf and’ told him of his son the general snid: *Good God, Lea, [ had no idew of this, Tak him to my quarters.” Before Major Lea returned to the Harriet Lane his son had died, his last words being: ‘*My father is here,’ *While this incident was transpiring on board the Huarriet Lane the other gunboats were proparing to evacuate the harbor, and the three companies of Massachusotts troops on the wharl sur- rendered. Tho flagship Westfield, under Commodore Renshaw, wus hard ond fast aground on the flats abreast of Pelican Spi It was determined to blow up the vessel, and the crew was removed to the transports Saxon and M. A, Bourdwun, and a slow match ap- plied to the magazine. It did not go off as soon as expected and a boat’s crew was sent to seo what was the' matter. No sooner had the boat hauled alongside the Westfied than a tremendous explosion oc2urred, which was heard for ninety miles, and boat and crew were scattercd into athousand Y ragments, Those in the boat who lost their lives were Commodore Renshaw, Lieutenant Zimmermun, Guuner’s Mute Callaban, Quarter Guuner Ring, Cox- swain Easser, Seamen Bethke, Hibbard, Johnson and McDouoald, and Firemen Cox, Reove and McCabe. The rest of the fleet then got off for New Orleans as fast as possible. *“The day after the battle the remains of Captain’ Wainwright and Livutenant were interred in the Episcopal cemetery with wmilitary honors, all the PARTMENT | United States oMcers, Genernl Magru- der and stafl, and other officars boing of the Episcos read the servi prayor book, in_deferencs to the sup- posed wishes of his son and of Captain | nwright, who was thoson of tho ! iscopalinn bishop of Brookiyn “After the servico Major Loa m fow remark t the grave, alluding to his long separation from his eldest son, vho, when the strife began, was at tho antipodes, whom d hud brought hero to meet his father in battle, by whom he was now yuried, as had been foretold two years befor oither had nsked for tors of either government, hut in simply following respectivo Li f duty had met cach other. gular coincidence,’ said he, is sad scene, should make us ponder on our relation to ono another in this hloody struggle and to realizo that thero are good and entious men on hoth sidew.

His numerous wounds resulted from the explosion of n spherical case imnmadiately in front of him av that memorable battle.

Another veteran who was present is recorded in the burcau as having stopped a canoon ball with his abdomen. He was sittinig in a tent near headquarters whena spent cannon ball came bounding along and struck him in the stomach with sufli- cient foree to knock him hors de combat, but not to kill him. Still another queer case is t of a Pennsylvunia veteran. He was rendered totally deaf by a cannon ball which whizzod by his head in uncomfortubly close proximity at the battle of Malver Hill. * In describing the sensation ufte wards he said itfelv for an instant as if {ifty eyclones had burst loose about his hedad,” The concussion also paralyzed him for several minutes.

She ha visited the general land office and the oflicials there had told hev that they could do nothing for her. They said that Tk BEE bu 1 had represented the other sido and had won its case, as it usually did, They told her that her best course was to call on the burean for advice, assuring her that she could depend upon trustworthy , She followed the suggestion. Upon investigation it was discovered that the land upon whic! * home was tted belonged to o client of the ea, for \\hmn at hisspecial request, w patent had been secuved in the shortest possible time. The record was clear and thero were no names of contestants on the books of the land office, The name of the lady who had journcyed across the continent to save her land did not up- pear there at ull, and of course the bu- reau had not been aware of her exist- ence until her sudden appearance to pro- test. Under these circumstances the only thing to do was to tell her that she could huve no hope of unnulling tho patent alveady issued, and that her best courss was to compromise with the ownaer of the land, This she duud do, and she left in much better s fully contented with the eourse of the bureuu, It gmay seem strange that a family should Iéavo its vight to a homo depund- ent upon the mero chance of not heing disturbed, without taking any legal Hl(s'h to securw it, but such cases oceur ey And still more frequently the sottler complies with the formalities of the law to an extent just suflicient to lull him into a false securit without giving him any real protection, Here is where wo find one of the principal advantages of such an institution as 3 Jureau of Claims. It gives tho mh of the settler that impartial, oxamination which he is not e to give for himself, and ables him to corrvect defects in time, It could be still more useful if it were always called in soon enough. It is us true in law as in medicine that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, It is easier and safer to doa thing right at the start than to correct it after it hus been done wrong. IPor this reason settlers should not wait until contests huve been instituted nst them, through their negligence e culling in the aid of THE Bek oau of Claims, They should apply while everything is u|)|l.\runll_v clear, submit all their papers, see that any lacking evidence is supplied, and be dy to obtain their patents ot the rlicet practicable moment.

The most costly book in the world is the missal sent by Pope Leo X. to Henry VIIIL of I nd, at the when the title, defender of the faith, was confer- red on that much-married monarch. For a number of years the book re- mained crown property, but Charles I1I., who had little uso for missais, gave it to the ancestor of the duke of Hamilton, in whore family it remained until a few years ago, when the livrary of the duke was sold at auction. The missal was purchased by the German govern- ment, which’ puid for it in cash the enormous sum of $50,000. A much higher price than (his, however, wus once offered for a single volume.

The book was weighed, and the estimate made of its weight in gold was £105,000.
