There were no accommoda- tions on the island, and Farragut and his family lived for seven months on board an old sloop-of-war was anchored hard by. For four years he remained at this ptation, and great progress was made in the development of the d Men, now grown old in the ia service, who were boys in the navy drilling at Mare | Island when Farragut (nearly three- years of age) was commandant, tell numer- ous anecdotes to illustrate the great cap- tain's simplicity of character and to gi evidence of some of his remarkable traits. Farragut was not spoiled by long au- thority. A midshipman at 10 years of age, commanding a vessel successfully at 12 and gradually rising in the scale of pro- motion, he was always the same simple, unpretentious man. The sailors loved him, and it has been related that it was nothing unusual for him to call up some of the crew under his command to havea bout with the single-sticks. He wasan ex- pert in all physical exercises, and on his birthday would invariablv indulege in a few handsprings, declaring that until such time as hne failed not feel that he was growing old. ‘While the relations of this country with Bpain are of a nature decidedly strained, while our representatives in the halls of Congress are making the walls of the capitol ring with denunciation of Spanish despotism, while students of Spanish col- leges are working themselves into foolish frenzy and showing hatred of Uncle Sam by tearing up a few copies of the stars and stripes, and while students of an ex- ceptionally few American colleges are try- ing to outdo the boys of Spain by tearing to tatters the colors of the Baby King, it is not_wholly uninteresting to stop and note that the peerless naval commander of our war of the rebellion, the hero who ran the fiery gauntlet of rebel forts and | ships at New Orleans, and who, with his | glass directed the victorious fleet at Mobile Bay while lashed to the shrouds, was de- scended from some of the best blood of Spain. *‘One of his ancestors, Don Pedro Farra- gut,” savs Captain Mahan, “‘served with great distinction under James I, Xing of Aragon, in the war against the Moors, which resulted in their expulsion from Majorca in 1229, and from the kingdom of | Valencia, in the Spanich peninsuia, in 1238.” The admiral’s father, George Far- ragut, was born on the island of Minorca in 1755. As that island had previously been ceded to Great Britain, Farragut was born under the British flag; but he severed his connections with his native country and in 1776 emigrated to America, where he espoused the cause of the colonists. At the beginning of the century George Farra- gut's adventurous nature ied him to the | frontier, where North Carolina and East | Tennessee meet, and where he wedded Elizabeth Sbine, the mother of the future admiral. David was, therefore, of Spanish- American descent. During his four years at Mare Island Farragut furnished material for many an amusing story.

She heard the captain’s footfalls, and straightway leit her honeyed meal and sauntered down the roaa. A moment later, Farragut reappeared, horsewhip in hand. He glanced down the road and then started on a wild run after that cow. The animal moved slowly till the captain was within a few yards of her. Then she threw up her t: perhaps in scornful de- fiance, and quickened her pace. Farragut was determined and doubled his speed. For half a mile they raced, and then the captain came back. He was so wet with spiration that he looked as if he had ducked his head in the water. “‘All I wanted,’ said he, ‘was to get one | good crack at that infernal cow.

He had the fun and the sport of beating the Ewing, and that was all he cared for. The commandant was a strong believer in hypnotism, which in those days was known under the common term of mes- merism. He beiieved 1t to be a force in nature. The way he came to be convinced that there was something in mesmerism was as follows: ‘When Farragut was a first lieutenant, and on board ship in one of the Eastern navy-yards, the ship surgeon operated on a negro member of ihe crew. The black was made the subject for mesmerism. One morning, when™ the boatswain yelled “‘All hands up hammocks,’”’ there was one hammock that failed to go up, and that hammock belonged to the negro boy, who lay listless and unmindful of orders.

But Farragut had taken 1t into his head to give that cow a lesson, at that very proper time, even at the sacrifice of a part of the Sunday sermon—and he was a faithful church attendant, too.

In those days he weighed about 135 pounds, being | of rather slight build. 1In height he was| five feet seven inches.

She was a swift-sailing craft, and the commandant took her out on his excur- IERTI T LAY W sumed gravity. His part was not acted with the cor usness of mere acting. If he thought he was doing right he did what he chose to do and had no regard for criti- cal opinion. He built the comn ant’s house, put a neat fence around it, and bordered the fence with rose bushiss. Yarragut took these rose bush s they made bomelike adornment. Some cows on d looked upon roses as a dainty. ecl and several times a vush had been ailed up the roots. “One Sunday morning,” said the narra- tor of this incident, “Capiain and Mrs. Farragut, the clergyman and I started | from the commandant's house to the | chapel.

The top- sail coast survey schooner Ewing visited Mare Island during these times, under command of a young lieutenant. The Ewing was a vessel of good size and by her officer reckoned fast. The day and hour came for the Ewing to depart. Shortly after she had set sail there was commotion on the shore. Commancant Farragut was giving orders hugriedly, and sailors were getting the Fennimore Cooper in readiness for sea with all possibie dispatch. Coula anyihing be wrong? Why should he deem it nccessar{ to overtake the Ewing, when she had only a few minutes before set sail? The men on .shore remained guessing, while Farragut_sped away on the Fenni- more Cooper. It was hours after when he returned. Then the people flocked down to the shore to hear what news the com- mandant might bring. +Boys,” cried he, laughingly, ‘‘we gave the Ewing the best whipping she ever got. I just wanted to go out and sail all around | every morning before 9 o'clock. His mas- Iin with the laborers and to furnish an darky had been mesmerized. After this the captain of the vessel dictated an order to the surgeon warning him not to repeat his mesmeric experiments aboard the ship, as they were hurtful to the necessary | discipline. Farragutwas afterward on shore leave at Norfolk, Va., when his attention wasagain | called to 2 mesmeric feat./ In the house | where he was staying a negro servant had | as regularly as clockwork washed the front steps and polished off the big front door ter found him, with his work undone, asleep on the front steps. He scolded the negro harshly, when that same surgeon, who was also e ng shore-leave, made his appearance and ex ed the negro, say- ing he had noticed that the_ fellow was about to begin work and thought he wounld see if it wasn’t possible to put him to sleep. The surgeon then astonished the behold- | Farragut among the number, by ng the spell and bringing the negro back to consciousness. AmonE the close friends of Farragut during Lis four years on this coast was Commodore C. H. Harrison of Sausalito. “Farragut was worshiped at Mare Island and Vallejo,” said the commodore. *‘His life on the island, however, was compara- tively uneventful. Nevertheless he showed himseif to be as full of energy as an egg is full of meat. Few men in his position would haye striven tp build up the island | as he did. He did not scruple to get right | example of how a thing should be done. 1 recollect one day being on the island when Farragut_was overseeing the sink- ing of a.well. It was noontime and the laborers had finished for the morning and were leaving the hole. I was looking for Farragut, and my query as to his where- abouts was answered by somebody direct- ing me to that well. I weut over,and was rather surprised to see at the bottom of the hole, pecking away at the earth, and all arrayed in his naval uniform, the com- mandant of the island, David Farragut. ‘There are very few officers in the service,’ thought I, ‘who would sacrifice a portion of their dinner hour to such labor as Far- ragut is engaged in.’ ” A story full of amusement is told of one of the earliest ““functions’” at Mare Island. The stone dock and drydock were com- pleted in Farragut's time ‘ana he had de- cided on a day for the opening. He had not planned nor did he anticipate a cele- bration on any extensive scale, and had made no elaborate fi)repurntions for the event. His friends had concluded, how- ever, to make the day a memorable one. The day came and tbe crowd that came with it _amazed the commandant with its proportion. There were men of promi- nence from all around the bay and they had to be entertained. The commandant knew that the crowd had to be fed, and he was thunderstruck to learn from his steward that the stock of liquors was down almost to nothing. arragut was. equal to the emergency. He summoned a servant and ordered him to go with all possible haste to various offi- cers on the island and request them to con- tribute whatever liquors they could spare for the general benefit of the occasion. The otficers responded nobly. White bottles and red bottles and black bottles poured into the gap to sugpiy the defici- ency. The stone dock and drydock were opened with any amount of impromptu eloquence. Then the crowd was invited up to the commandant’s house to drink to the future usefulness of tle new improve- m-nts. The crowd was not very hungry, but it was an awfully thirsty crowd. fi‘rge liquor held out well. After the feast Commandant Farragut could not hide a look of pain. Calling 2 {riend to one side, he exclaimed: “‘I’m en- tirely amazed at some of my officers. Some of them who havealways borne reputations for sobriety are reeiing” around under the influence of liquor. I'am actually shocked, and would never believe such a 5zing were Inot myself a witness to it.” : : The whole matter was soon explained from the kitchen, where the servant who bad superintenced the distribution of the liquor had got into a row on account of assertions that he didn't know whisky her, and we did it.” Farragut was not the kind to give a | from lemonade. He might have known lemonade, but of fortiged liquors his ignorance was supreme, ke was forced to | | naval officer. | good old ves jconnection with the admiral’s glory and confess that, in order not to be serving drinks out of all sorts of bottles (thus ex- posing the scneme of the emergency con- tributions) he had poured brandy, whisky, rum, gin and high wines into one big demijohn. One g%ass of this combination was enough to stagger the stoutest man. *‘I suppose I owe my friends and officers an apology,” said Farragut, ‘‘but perhaps the best thing todoin the premisesis to say nothing. Men who can stand such liquor s thatand live have one of the elements of greatness in them. I imagine that the opemnieof the drydock will be strongly ?me?v] red by many for a number of ays,’ The tilt between Commandant Farragut and Commander Boutwell of the warship John Adams is a matter of history. Ac- cording to Commodore Harrison, Farragut Was a strong vigilance committee man. “When Boutwell came ashore on the night of his arrival in the bay,” said the commodore, *‘Farragut _escorted him through the City. When Farragut saw the vigilance array—4000 men under arms and organized like an army—he said : ‘Call this 8 mob? Why, this is one of the finest bodies of men I ever saw. They open ranks to receive us like veterans.’ ‘‘Farragut passed through the ranks without a question. He saw the elements that made up that army, and appreciated the gravity of circumistances that had made necessary such an uprising.”’ One of the most interesting of the many reminiscences of Farragut told by Commo- dore Harrison is one giving an account of the former’s opinion of heavy ordnance. In 1855, just after the battle of Petro- paulovski, which resulted in that post falling into the Lands of the allied English and French fleets, a number of the men-of-war engaged in the affair visited San Francisco. Among the English vessels was the Amphitrite, which carried a 7-inch gun, something very wonderful in those days. The commodore went aboard of the Amphitrite soon after she anchored off Sausalito and of course viewed its big gun, which the commodoresaid had done good work at Petropaulovski. The following day being at Mare Island Howi- son told Farragut about the 7-inch gun. “Yes, that's a big gun,”’ said Farragut, ‘“‘but it's of no use in real service. ¥y Harrison, I'd be willing to have the Eng- lishman fire away at my ship all day if I was a mile and a quarter away, and if I was in a small boat I'd stand it at the distance of a mile. A gun like that will carry a big shot and make a loud noise, butitcan’t be relied on to shoot with any accuracy. There is nothing like our 32-pounders to do effec- tive work.” in the latter the com- ed a 32-pounder got in readi- ness, and having anchored a mark in the stream at a ance of a mile and a quarter, fired,several shots at it, but with- out success. Finally he called up anold quartermaster, who trained the piece and Kknocked the target to picces at the first al tempt. Farragut then frankly acknow edged that 52-pounders could ‘not always be depended on even at that distance. He was greatly astonished, however, a few days later when Harrison recounted the result of his second visit to the Amphitrite. The English captain on hearing of Far- ragut’s doubt as to the efficacy of his inch gun ordered it cleared " aw and training it on a rock in the ba; t one and a third miles distant knocked the top of it off. Two other shots were plumped into it, and shattered it to piec s. *As to Farragut's simplicity of was easily approachable and tious, but you could never tread on his corns.” He was a man, every inch of him, and he believed in giving every man = fair show. He was a born sailor, too, and loved a race over the waves as much as an’fv one.” 'he commodore takes pride in a cane that was recently presented to him by a the old Hartford, Far; ragut's flagshio, the 1 that wi ver be known in he touch of the rebuilder e Parragut planted the navy-yard—the island that .might with propriety be rechristened Farragut's Island.”” that now awaits Some Grotesque Dog Exhibits. So far as any dog show can be said to have interest that lacks the presence and support of Lobengula, the exhibition of chow-chows, schipperkes and otuer for- eizn dogs opened yesterday at the Aqua- rium is very interesting indeed. It is a show without mastiffs, or bulidogs, or ter- riers, or collies, or any of the recognized orthodox dogs. It confines itseli to strange | nightmare, grotesque, gruesome, gargoyle animats, some of which cause persons with preconceived religious ideas oun the sub- ject of dogs to arop down dead at first | sight, while others send people coming suddenly upon them into nervous shivers or tits of wild, maniacal laughter. There are chow-chow dogsin like numbers; they come, like other curious things, from China and Japan, but in comparison with some of the other breeds and alleged breeds exhibited they are of fairly Chris- tian appearance. ‘They are foxv-headed, sharp-eared, woollv coated things. Some are fawn, some black and some griz- zled, but they all have jet-blac] tongues and jet-black roofs to their mouths, so that the effect when they yawn is something like that of a piece of man- | | ner,”” continued Commodore Harrison, **he unpreten- | 1t was made from wood of | HOW JAPANESE MARRY, The Question of Love Is Not Considered by Either Party. THINKLOVE MATCHES IMMORAL Very Often the Bride Does Not See Her Spouse Until the Knot Is Tied. It is not commonly known that the Jaganese look upon marrying for love as positively immoral. They say that to choose a companion forlife is to place one- self on the Jevel with the lower animals. A pure, noble and unselfish love, there- fore, is unknown to nearly all Japanese exceoting those who have come under che influence of Western ideas. I have in mind one very notable exception to this rule. Among those whom it was my pleasure to know intimately was a young woman about 26 years of age, who, having received no less than fifty offers of mar- riage, had refused them all. Venturing to ask her one day why this was she confided to me the following story: ‘““When I was ‘| bachelette this custom of having parents a girl about 14 years old I became engaged | marriage. This is considered an ideal tribute as I ever heard paid to the educa- tion of women in Japan. While the ma- jority of girls would rather marry almost any one than to run the risk of being a sometimes drives a girl almost to despair. One very bright and worthy young woman about 22 years ol1 told me her experience. This is her story: “When I was a girl, there being no boys in the family, and 1 the elder of two sis- ters, my father adopted a boy with the in- tention of having him marry me. We grew up together as brother and sister, and when I was 14 it was suddenly an- nounced to us that we must marry at a certain date not far distant. I rebelled, and tried to persuade my parents 1o let me continue at school, as women’s educa- tion was a subject much talked of at the time, but it was of no avail. This be- bavior simply led my parents and friends to denounce me as a re- bellious and disobedient daughter.” This girl’s husband ran away soon after they were married, having got into some serious money difficulty, and she thinks he is dead, but feels no sorrow for his loss. She is soon to marry a good and respectable man of her own chocsing. A few years ago the way was opened for her to take the course of study in a school for girls, where her record both in scholarship and deportment was above reproach. During the period of engagement young people know nothing of courtship as in this country. If they are even seen to- gether unpleasant stories are apt to be started about them. Sometimes an engaged couple will happen to meet at some gathering of friends, when neither will appear to see the other, ana they will try to avoid even looking at each other. Itis a common thing for two young people entire- strangers to become engaged through the efforts of a go-between and not meet even once until the day of their or friends choose }Fm’! life companion THE GIRL WHO HAD OVER FIFTY OFFERS OF MARRIAGE. {Fiom a photograph.| | to a young man a little older than myself, and, like you foreigners when you marry, we truly loved each other.

As | soon as it was discovered, several old women came to my mother and said: | ‘This will never do. Your daughter and | this young man actually love each other. { It is a disgrace. You must preak off the match at once, for everybody is talking about it, and they will never be happy.’ So aftér some delay my mother very re- luctantly compelled me to abandon the thought 6f marrying, and never have any- thing more to do with my lover. This nearly broke my heart, and ever_ since when any man is suggested to me, I com- pars him with the lover of my youth, and that ends all thought of marriage.” And so this young woman ,tad to suffer for having lived two orjthree generations abead of her time.

A bit of copper or silver lost, or a few blanks unaccounted for, do not make much differeuce, but the smallest loss of gold is a more or less serious mat- ter. Even when the commoner metals are being minted the men have to account for what is introsted to them, and they stand on gratings that metal may not stick ‘o their boots, and in certain varts of the money factory they are not allowed out from morning till night, their dinners being brought to them, that has given rise to the custom of having all matches made by a ?&between, a man being prohibited by all sense of decency from addressing a woman with a view to marriage. This feeling, that people must never marry for love, sometimes leads to umum’nf little deceits. A Christian young man of my acquaintance, having™ very cautiously * observed the young ladies in a girly’ school, made up his mind that a certain one: would make him a good wife. We would say that he fell in love; butnot soin Japan. He went to an elderly married lady and put the case before her thus: ‘‘My father is ve, anxious that I should marry soon, and if do not find a Christian wife he will surely compel me to marry an unchristian. Therefore 1 ought to become engaged as soon as possible. I have nospecial choice, but I think perbaps Miss K. would make a good wife.” So the matier was taiked over by the numerous friends and relatives on both sides, but it was finally decided that she, though of lower rank as to family, was too good for him because of | her superior education, This isas high a match, and if the wife is very humble, has no will of her own and succeeds in pleas- ing her husband in every little detail it will be a happy marriage according to Japanese ideas. " But should the wife have a little of the spirit of new Japan, or should she fail to please her master and her mother-ia-law in every particular she is apt to be sent home in disgrace, and an- other wife takes her place in a few days. 1f she has a child her husband keeps it, and thus all the joy of that young mother’s life suddenly fades away. any of these poor creatures, half demented because of all hope in life thus blighted,are dragging out a miserable, lonely existence. There may be seen on' the streets of one of the cities of Japan to-day a forlorn look- ing woman, playing a banjo and singing from door to door to earn a few pennies, She was once the wife of a man whois now living with his third wife, and who is looked upon as a man of influence in the community, being the principal of a large public school. No sooner is a couple united in mar- riage than the hushand assumes a very commanding attitude toward his wife, in order to let her know from the beginning that he is master. She is kept verv closely at home and never dares to go anywhere without asking his permission, which is often refused. So the young wife is not only in constant fear lest she displease her husband and be divorced, but she is obliged to remain in the house like a pris- oner. Statistics show that two out of every three marriages in Japan result in divorce. No lawsuit is necessary to annul a marriage, just as no lecal ceremony is required to unite people in the bonds of matrimony. When a man takes a wife, he registers her name as belonging to his family, and when he wauts to make a change he simply transfers her name back to her father’s family. To celebrate the marriage friends are invited, and several hours are spent in eating, drinking and having a good time generally. Sometimes a man begins even before the marriage to humble his wife. A widow once told me that when her intended came into the room on the night before they were to wed -he said to some one so she could hear it, “Humph! I thougkt she was better look- ing.” She was undoubtediy a pretty girl, however, and her eldest daughter is now one of the handsomest young women in Japan. As girls are taught from their early childhood to look upon their broth- ers or other bovsastheir superiors, women accept an inferior position in the house- hold economy very gracefully, they do not rebel when ordered to do anything as though they were servants; and always ex- pect to occupy a more lowly place. When we consider how very light a thing it is in Japan to break the marriage tie we can the more readily understand how giris sometimes think it a meritorious thing'to lead an immoral life for the sake of supporting their parents; how others are seen carrying their illegitimate chil- dren without any thought of shame, and how others still consider the position of a concubine an honorable one. The Em- peror of Japanis the son of a concubine, asisalso the present heir to the throne. In this way only has it been possible to keep one family on the throne for 2000 years, the greatest boast of a Japanese subject to-day. E No doubt some wives really be- come attached to their husbands, but no demonstration of affection is ever allowed between men and women even though they be married. A wife must never appear to.care when her husband is away from home or to long for Bis return. When the war between China and Je:ip“ first broke out a young wife was asked by an American friend if her husband, who was a military officer, had been chosen to fio to Korea, and she replied with tears in er eyes: “No, I am sorry to say he was not. He is very delicate and hoped he might die on the battle-field. So we are dreadfully disappointed.” This little woman would have thought herself un- patriotic had she desired to keep her hus- band at home rather than have him give his life for his country.

Now that catarrhal affections of every de- seriptions seem to have assumed something of an epidemic form on this coast it would seem timely and proper to present the list of symp- toms prepared by Drs. Copeland and Neal to enable sufferers to understand the specific nature of their ailment. Probably more than 50 per cent of the climatie sickness now preva- lent, though known under many different names, would be found under competent diag- nosis to be simply a subtle catarrhal infection and poisoning of some vital part or vital organ of the body. For those desiring the treatment of Drs. Copeland and Neal it may be stated that the proper course is this: Read these symptoms carefully over, marl apply to your case, and bring this with you to Drs. Copeland and Neal. II you live away from the city send them by mail and ask for mail treatment. In either instance, whether by mail or office treatment, uge{pmam may be assured of the speediest relief and cure pos- sible %o enlightened science. Bear in mind that any chronic sufferer, whether irom catarrh or any other seatea and distressing malady, may apply at any timé, elther in person or by letfer, to 916 Market street, in the Columbian building, and receive the most efficient treat- ment now in vogue at the nominal fee rate of $5 & month, including all necessary medicines.
