SEAMANSHIP AT SAMO.I.

Deeds of American ml Engllihmcn Compared. Panama Star and He raM. - . That it is right and proper to render unto Csesar tho things that are Caesar's, nobody denies. But this obligation to Casar does not relieve us of the payment of other tributes to others than the Cresars of this world. This reflection has been suggested "by tho outflow of praise bestowed by the American press on tho maintenance of England's nautical supremacy as illustrated in the "great IVatof seamanship" displayed by Captain Kane, of II. M. b. Calliope, at Samoa, in saving his ship, whilst little or nothing comparatively is paid of tho leat of Lieutenant Urown in withdrawing the Trenton from the reefs at tho last moment. This we consider very uujnst. Let us for a moment look into the circumstances of both "feats." and we are 6ure that our readers -will concur in oir conclusions. Tho Calliope and Vamialia lay together in tho storm tho one laxge and powerful, the other small and weak. Impelled by the Tesisless storm, the former began pounding the latter. What does Captain Kane do? Assuredly, on the one hand, in half an hour or so the Vaudalia would have been smashed to atoms and his own tine shit) hopelessly crippled. On the other hand, he had such powerful engines that there was a bare posbibility of his being enabled to stem the storm and move away. Who would have hesitated! He. of course, elected to face a possible in preference to an inevitable fate, and, slipping his cables, trusted whollv to his engines. Steaming at the rate of fifteen or sixteen knots, the ship moved against the storm at about half a knot, or a triflo bes, and, after a fearfully anxious struggle, she got clear. This was no great feat of seamanship. The praise, if, indeed, any is necessary in tho case, is rather due to the engineers, who succeeded in keeping their mighty engines uniformly np to their maximum power during that trying time when the least falling oil" mnst have given the advantage to the storm perhaps irretrievably. The case of the Trenton and navigating officer Urown was vastly ditlerent. He commanded a ship divested of steering apparatus or motive power, and that was on the very point of being dashed on tholeo shore. Now, it is all very well for the nautical novelist to sit comfortably and imagine desperate situations, and then imagine a brilliant escape. But what Defoe, or Stevenson, or Clark Kusell ever yet dared place their visionary ships in the position of the Trenton, as she plunged toward that fcsamoan reef, and asked an intelligent reader to believe that the hero skipper saved his craftf There are limits to even the license of the novelist, and the public would have drawn the line there. Talk of nerves! Talk of ready wit and invention! But think of Lieutenant Urown commanding a sailless, rudderless andpropellerless ship in the height of the most fearful tempest history has recorded, his only hope to gain the eandj' beach ' beyond, and finding the cruel coral and raging breakers under his very forefoot! Yet, in that supreme moment, ho did not lose his nerve, nor aid the characteristic ready inTention of the American tlesert him. Ordering his crew of four hundred men into the ricging, he thus presented to the storm just the necessary sail, or its equivalent, to drive his ship clear, and back into the moro open water. Simple enough, truly, to contemplate; but where in the annals of the navies has a similar feat of seamanship been recorded F Indeed, this is something beyond seamanship. Certainly, of all the heroic efforts ami brilliant achievements that serve to brighten here and there the darkness of that awful Samoan disaster, none shine with more resplendence than those of Lieutenant Brown, by which 450 hnman beings were saved from the fate that a few hours previously they had witnessed -overtake the crew of the little Eber. And above all, it certainly is not the triumph of a sixteenknot steam pressure over tho storm-force, that appears to have not exceeded fifteen knots. BROTHER GARDNER'S WISDOM. lie Emphatically Refuses to Be a Candidate for President. DetTolt Free Tress. "I hold heah in my hand," said Brothor Gardner, as the meeting opened in due form. 'a lettah from de otficeW do Maj'or of Cincinnati, axing me if I will be a candydato fnr President in 1892, an' nddin' dat 1 am culled by six millyun cnll'd people. De sekretary of dis lodge will write him a letter in reply, lie will write de word "Chestnuts! ' sign my name below, an' diTect it to dis anxious inquirer. Dat word exactly expresses my feelin's. "In de fust place, I no mo' fit to bo President of dis United States dan a possum ar to teach Greek. In de next place, I hev Tamed from sad experience dat sich honeyed words conceal an object.

Brother Stepback Smith wanted to inquiro if Brother Gardner would not change his mind in case bis nomination was spontaneous. No, sab!" was tho vigorous reply. "Dar am no sich tiring, to begin with.

Sot down, Brudder Smith sot down an' feel mo' dan eber determined to wash yer hands of politics an,' what it leads to." CREEDS OP IASSIOX. The Old Idea of Elective Affinities In a little Different Drets. Kan Francisco Chronicle. Every few years the devotees of passion steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in, and sometimes in one way, and sometimes in another, profane the sacred name of love by applying it to practices and doctrines which are only the outcome of tleshly lusts. The history of what is commonly known as "free Jove" shows many phases, but the fundamental doctriuo is always tho same, that of . the promiscuous and unlicensed congress of the sexes. The most recent development of tho freelove idea is that enunciated by a woman in the East, who has attained some celebrity in the ranks of the so-called Christian science teachers and healers. This woman coolly divorced herself a few days ago from a man with whom she had benu living as a wife, and at once contracted an alliance with another man, the first husband looking camly on and ottering no objections to this summary way of altering matrimonial relations. The woman, however, seems to have deemed it necessary to make something in tho nature of an explanation of her conduct, so she has allowed an interview with herself to be published, in which she states her position. She takes tho grouud. by way of preface, that thomrhttul. refined men and women ought not to bo subject to the same rules as those made to govern the coarse, drunken and vicious. After having thus put herself above the plane of human laws, hhe goes on to sax: "Every man and woman in the world feW9 there in a relationship which, if it could be found, would satisfy the twderest and dot-post fooling in them: but the larger number of tb thoughtfui have experienced and observed until their soul havu turned sick, and have said it U a useless and delusive quest." This is the old idea of elective affinities In A little different dross. There is nothing new about it. and it is just an nonsensical as H was when it was first broach d. Hut our latest exponent of tho principles of free lova etws on to sav: "As marriage now exists thero U no vlfe-love and husband. love. 'Iho indefinite, subjective condition called marriage, as enforced bv law, is not ruarria. but bondage: that marriage, as regulated by law. is n wicked jHTVersion of .the divine purpose, thero is no doubt." So the question rained by Mona Caird is decided, Marriagu is not only a failure.

but, according to this woman, "a wicked perversion of the divine purpose." By this she means, judging from her own conduct, that the proper way is to live in a state of quasi-conjugal union until some of the Sanies tinds a new, affinity, and then to issolvo the union and form a different one, and this is to bo repeated every year, or every month, if either party isso inclined. The argument is without force or validity, whether it bo considered from a social, or moral, or even purely physical point of view; The experience of centuries of civilization flatly negatives tho proposition on which tho doctrines of freo love are based. Tho weakness of the position is 6hown by tho necessit' for tho declaration that the thoughtful and refined men and women should not be governed by the general laws. It was requisite to this woman that sho should put herself outside the reign of law, and this she attempts to do by soaring above the heads of common people and rising into a purer and more ethereal atmosphere. ' And yet the common sense of mankind teaches them that the estate of matrimony is an honorable one, and history teaches that the great nations of tho world aro tho monogainic nations. All marriages are not happy, it is true, but the average of happiness in a country or community where marriage is esteemed is far higher than it could possibly be where the doctrines of freo love should prevail. Ono is typified by an intelligent, moral and virtuous town or city; the other by such a sink of iniquity and vice as the Oneida Community.

ROWLEY'S GALLANT DEED. now He Saved the War-Ship Kearsarge In the Fight with tho Alabama. Anruta (Me.) Letter m Boston Globe. "It was a beautiful Sunday morning in June," said Kichard Rowley, an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Togus, "when tho Alabama steamed out of tho harbor of Cherbourg, he had been busy since we sent the challenge in making preparations .for the coming conihet, and, as wo afterwards learned from the prisoners, they did not experience an idea but what they would bo victorious. She was a magnificent ship, and I can remember with what suppressed excitement we made ready for the deadly coullict. Captain Wmslow was ns cool as a cucumber, and gave off his orders with as much coolness as if ho had been safe in Boston harbor. Following the Alabama was a French ironclad and an English yacht, having onboard many ladies, who bad come out to see the fight. We took no particular notico of them at the time, but had occasion to remember them afterward. Tho Kearsarge immediately put to sea, the Alabama following, for Captain Winslow did not propose that there should afterwards be any question as to jurisdiction; the liht must take placo in neutral waters. We had probably gone eight or ten miles, when the Kearsarge turned around and headed straight for tho Alabama. As we ncared the Alabama sho opened tire on ns, but as her firing was so wild ho concluded she was firing at random. The Kearsargo did not fire a shot until we were within 1.000 yards of the Alabama, when the order was given to open lire. Up to this time wo bad experienced no damage, except cutting away some of the rigging. One big shell imbedded itself in the Kearsarge's quarter, close by the propeller, which, if it had exploded, would have blown away the whole stern. The next shell that struck tho vessel killed one man and wounded a number of others. The shells were falling all around us thick and fast. It was at this juncture the conflict was the most exciting to me, and an incident happened in which I was personally interested. We had been fighting some over an hour and a half, and it was evident that wo were creating sad havoc on board the Alabama, and they were growing desperate. The gun of which I had charge had been loaded for another shot, and 1 was juSt on the point of sighting tho piece when a hundred-pound rifle shell from tho Alabama struck the siac of the gun, which broke the force of the shot, and fell on the deck. The fuse was burning in it, and in another instaut it would have exploded. Had it done so, there is no doubt but that would have been the end of the Kearsarge and all on board. I never could understand why I did so, but almost mechanically 1 rushed for the shell, and picking it up in my arms, I carried it to the side of the vessel and threw it into the sea. In doiug so :ny whiskers and mustache were burned to the skin. It exploded just as it touched the water, throwing tho spray high in the air. "It was all done in an instant, and I did not realize the danger or what I had done until it was all over. Captain Winslow was standing on the bridge not ten feet away, and witnessed the whole proceedings, as also did the most of the crew. As I picked up the shell I repeated a phrase, a f avorito one of mine, which I had always nsed when exposed to any danger: Jesus. gave nienow.' I did not know that I 6aid it, but I must have, for Captain Winslow says he heard me above the roar and noise of the cannonade. A 6olid silver badge, which I havo worn since, was given me by the Secretary of the Navy when I landed in Washington. "Captain Winslow said that his heart was in his mouth, for ho had no idea but what the shell would explode in my arms before 1 could throw it overboard. He at once gave the order to man the rigging and ;ive three cheers for Quartermaster kowey. 1 hope I do not appear vain if I say hat I was proud of the distinction which Japtain Winslow accorded me, although at the time I did not realize that I had done anything great. The cheers were given with a will. I went back to my gun and nut a shot into the Alabama, which made her shake from stem to stern. Tho crew of the Alabama heard the cheers, and, as they afterward told ns, they could not understand it. From that moment they lost courage. Tho Alabama was fast sinking, and they had run up a flag of truce. Afterward a boat came alongside and said that Captain Scmincs' had surrendered. Wo only had two available boats to send to rescue the crew. Jiofore wo could got them aboard the Alabama began to settle, and the crew began to jump into the sea. In a short space of time she threw her bow into the nir and went beneath the waves, the rebel flags still living. T know thero has been some controversy as to whether she sunk with her colors flying. I maintain that she did. I remember it as well as if it were yesterday. We picked up what of the crew we could, but a great many were drowned. Captain Serumes, of the Alabama, jumped into the 6ea, and was picked up by tho English yacht Greyhound and escaped in her. The Kearsarge then steamed into Cherbourg harbor and began tiring a salute with her heaviest guns, which awoke the people for miles around." medy for Snoring. Washington Critic Only the man or woman chained to that rest-destroying angel, a snoring partner, can appreciate its sinfulness. The wicked emotions aroused in the soul of the sufferer cannot bo transferred to paper. Could a man or woman preserve their night thoughts of the innocent offender during the entire twenty-four hours, married life would be a bleak, treeless, nnwatered waste. For this sort of affliction, if made public, a man or woman gets only the same class of sympathy accorded to malaria a grinning "That s too bad." Thero is a remedy for ague; quinine is bitter, but it breaks up chills. There is a remedy for snoring, and that is bitter, too. Scientists have discovered that snorersaro invariably great laughers and talkers, who exist principally with their mouths wide open, thereby clogging the breathing apparatus with dust and rouzhening the delicate chords by contact with crude nir. To these good-natured and loquacious sleep killers science says: "Shut up: keep your mouth closed: better deprive the world of your cackle and chatter than turn houey into gall ami make marriage a failure." If this does not cure snoring, then Hob Uurdette's remedy for dandrult is the only resource chop the bead off. m m m ire Figured It Out. Omaha World.

Noah Armstrong's horso farm lies in the Rocky mountain divide, between the Columbia and Missouri rivers, in Montana, close to the Indian reservation. Two years ago Armstrong purchased at the Meadows, near Carlinville, 111,, a yearling thoroughbred by Hyder Ali, out of Interpose. When General Rowett saw the newly foaled colt, he declared the youngster must bo shot. He was so puny and out of proportion that it would not pay to raise him, so tho General said. However, when Mr. Armstrong priced this weakling, among other racers, its owner thought himself well rid of a cast-off" for 250. Armstrong shipped the colt to his Montana farm. The raw-boned brute sniffed the air of the Rockies, and was fed the wild flower of the Indians. He grew big and lustv, his sides expanded, his limbs beeame rock-strong, and turning into his third year, the Illinois outcast was a thing of equine beauty. He was named Spokane, and, without dreamingof turf honors, modest Armstrong entered his horse in several stake events. This spring Spokane was s'nipptd to Kentucky, and, while the Southerners narveled at his sight, their money was intrusted to their own Proctor Knott, whose fame was great, but Spokauo defeated the idol in the classic Derby. A week afterward the pair again met in the Clarke stakes, and again Spokane's chances were Bcotlvd at, but the great futurity winner once more fell before the despised Montana entry. To-day, at Washington Park, the rivals for the third time faced the flag together, and with them journeyed five other fleet racers, the very cream of the 147 horses originally nominated for the greatest three-year-old prize the America Derby. To no avail was tho blue-grass of Kentucky, on which Proctor Knott, Long Dance and Retrieve had fed; to no purpose had Once Again been carefully nourished ou famous Teunes3ee bran; impure must have been the air of Californiafs climate for Don Jose and Sorrento, for Spokane, cast from the prairies of Illinois and nursed to life by the dew of tho Rockies, and the little wild flower of the Flathead medicine-man. raced away from them all and became at once an equine marvel, winner of a triple evnt. Forty thousand people shouted in appreciation of tho performance, and Sl.000,000 changed hands on the result. The race was an exciting one, because the tremendous crowd in ado it so. The great show was made in tho preliminary parade, in which each of the contestants looked fit to compete for the valuable stakes. Sorrento was first on tho track, with Taral in the saddle. Then Proctor Knott, with Fitzpatrick, appeared, and was followed by Long Dance (Barnes), Don Jose (Winchell), Retrieve (I. Lewis), and OnceAgain (Murphy). Last Came Spokane, whom Tom Kiley allowed to lone past the cheering crowd to tho post. During tho three breakaways. Proctor Knott broke away in front each time, plainly showing that Bryant's disappointment was to be the pacemaker. When the flag fell, for tho Dorhy race, Once-Again was in front, followed by Sorrento, Don Jose, Proctor Knott, Long Dance. Retrieve and Spokane, in the order named. .The "Dare Devil'' immediately plied the whip, and Knott shot ahead like a llanh, Once-Again being taken back by Murp'c,'. The pace was very fast, and all eeeineucontcnt with their positious, which, down the stretch and past tho stand, weie not changed, except that for a moment Don Jose made a spurt. Thero Knott hail an advantage of two leuuths over the others, who were well bunched, with Spokano bringing np the rear under Kiley'a strong pulL lut the clubhouse, with, its wealth of fashion, Knott lost souio of his lead, and as tho seven horses raced past the three-fourths Eole Sorrento was one and one-half lencth chind the leader and one-third that distance better than Don Jo?. Then, as Fitzpatrick let out a link, all moved up

and the pace became desperate. When the one-half mile mark fell lehind the racers there was just day light between hira and Retrieve, who had como up in the rush, while Don Jose was still third and Spokane fourth, Long Dance and Once-Again being practically out of the chase. Sorrento, who had been running easily in second place all along, was cut oti'ou the great turn, and and while making for the 6tretch was actually last Then Taral pulled the Californian to the outside, and, making up lost ground, flow to the leaders so rapidly that his backers trembled with joy. As the homo stretch was touched he was second again to Proctor Knott, but there tho futurity winner gave out, and there . Snokane made his run. So fast did the Montana colt run that, rushing past the last quarter, he was actually leading, while Knott had already fallen into third place. Retrieve divided the pair. Again Sorrento advanced gamely, but, though stronger than those behind, could not disturb Spokane, who camo away under Kiley's upraised hand, but without tasting whip or spur, and won very easily by a full length. Sorrento was second, a head before Retrieve, third, followed by Don Jose, Long Dance, Once-Again and Proctor Knott The latter, cut np and very tired, Stopped at the saddling paddock, and was taked to his stable, while the crowds hurrahed and the band played as a saddle of roses was being placed upon the winner's haunches. So much money came down from the Northwest that Spokane went to the post a heavy favorite at 6 to 5. The closing odds

lor Kuott were 2 tol; Don Jose, 4 to 1; OnceAgain, 6 to 1: Sorrento, 8 to 1: Long Dance uuu ueineve, ou xo l, eacn. When Spokane reached his stall he was almost mobbed by tho Montana stable's frenzied attendants, who clung about his neck and wonld not allow him to rest until the trainer Rodegap had 6houtcd himself noarse. Jle wasrubbed down and lightly fed, and as the sun went down, the stable boys gathered under his shed and told of the great horss's prowess. A rusty darky placed a big pot on the fire, aud filled it with small white leaves taken from a bag. It was the medicine-man's life-giver, and it was being prepared for Spokane's next meal. Shortly a tall, redfaced man, with a brown beard and hands thrust clumsily in his trousers pockets, sauntered along the 6tablo path. It was Sam Bryant on his way to his own stalls. As he passed the Montana stables he was attracted by ths laughter and loud talk, and, turning in that direction, saw the big darky stirring the steaming mass in a pot, his mouth stretched in a broad grin. As he stirred and added the white leaves, ho sang, the 011I3- intelligible words being "Spoke, my Spoke." Sam Bryant sighed, a tear glistened in his eye, and he continued his way to join Proctor Knott Following is the result of tho other races; First Ilace Purse of $000; three-year-olds and upward; one mile. Kobin Hood went off In the l?ad, and kept.it until nenr the finish, where Marchiua cauiA up and won by a head; Liederkrauz third. Time, 1:4C. fcecoud Race Purse of $000; all ages; threequarters of a mile. Monlta Hardy led to near the three-quarter post, where Peun P, passed her and won with ease; Monlta Hardy second, Von Trump third. Time, 1:18. The third race was the Derby. Fourth Race Pur?e of $010; one and one-sixteenth of a mile. Vidette led for a mile, when lie was passed by Vat Donovan, who won by three lengths trora 8t. Xlck, with Vidette third. Time. 1:5J. Fifth Race Purse of $000; for two-year-olds; five-eighths of a mile. Kedltjchtled all the wav and w on by two lengths. Protection was Eecond and Sla O'Lee third. Time, IKUI4. A most unfortunate blunder on the part of the judges occurred, which led to serious results. "Xo. 7" was put up as the winner instead of No. 3, making it appear that Baggage had won tho race instead of Redlight. Britton, who rode tho winner, went up to the judges' stand to remonstrate, but was not listened to, the judges apparently not yet discovering the biuuder. The crowd raised a howl, and for an hour the greatest confusion prevailed. The number having been hoisted, the natural result was that tbe bookmakers paid out on the strength of Baggage bring tho first horse, and the Paris mutual did the same. When the judges, an hour later, iinall' discovered and acknowledged their error, the mischief had been done, and nearly all tho ready money betters had been paid. An indignation committee called upon the treasurer. J. R. Walsh, and were assured that tho injustice would be retifiedat a meoting-to ho held to-morrow at tbe club-honoo. A dispatch from Louisville says the betting there to-day was heavy Proctor Knott, at odds, ranging from 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 against was a great favorite with tho loeal turf followers, and the bulk of the money was placed on him. When 8 to 1 against Knott sndC to 5 against Spokane was announced from Chicago, there was a great rush to get money on Knott. Incidents of a Day at Johnstown. Johnstown, Pa., Juno 22. Dynamiting the wreck wus vigorously continued to-day above the bridge. With nearly every shot bodies were found, but they were so much decomposed that identification was almost impossible. The body of a young lady supposed to be the daughter of John Linton was recovered this evening. Ono of the sad sights of the day was the recovery of the body of a woman and an infant lying closely together. The mother was badly burned and decomposed. The baby had evidently been born in tho water, and was fairly well preserved,' as tho llaraes had not reached it The part of the mother's head that had escaped burning was almost entirely eaten away by worms. At 4:30 o'clock this evening, Jacob Deiler, a laborer from Newark, N. J., was fatally injured by the falling of a derrick. One of tho dynamite shots cut the guy-ropes holding tho derrick in position, allowing it to fall. Deiler was cut about tho head, bis legs broken, and he was injured internally. The fact that nearly all of the saloons m Johnstown, Cambria City and surrounding boroujzhs were again in operation has cansd much annoyance to Gensral Hastings and those in charge of the work. Judge Johnston to-day telegraphed from Ebensbnrg. ordering that no intoxicating liquors be sold in any of tne boroughs or adjoinmf townships for the present or until the order is revoked. A refusal to comply with the ord3Twill be deemed sufficient grounds for the revocation of liceiss, as well as a refusal of license in future by the court To-day, while a gang of men were at work removing the debris from a livery-stable, near the Baltimore & Ohio depot, they heard a faint cry from a pile of wreokuge near-by. They set to work, and half an hour later rescued a living cat, which had evidently been imprisoned there since the day of the flood, ft was a veritable skeleton, its neck being no thicker than a mans finger. The feline was carried to the Red Cross Hospital, where it was kindly cared for, and christened Red Cross Flood." It will recover, and is attracting much attention. August Bumgardner, a resident here, and a foreign laborer, both employed in clearing up tho wreckage near the Pennsylvania railway bridge, were reported dangeronsly sick with blood-poisoning in their arras. Tho sun blistered their bared anus, and tho fetid water poisoned them. The arms of both men were swollen out of all proportion, and tho physicians express little hope of the recovery of either. The foreign laborer was sent to a Pittsburg hospital and Bumgardener is at his home in Kernville. Two new cases of typhoid fever were reported among the workmen this morning, and were taken to the Red Cross hospital. The Red Cross people have opened additional headquarters near General Hastings's headquarters. This organization is still doing much good. Allthe local physicians met accidentally nt the Bedford-street Hospital last night. They represented all parts of the stricken city, and after discussing the calamity all joined in the conclusion that not a soul less than 10,000 people were lost in the flood. On account of the general knowledge of tho people possessed by the physicians tho estimate is looked upon as reliable. Twenty-four of the portable houses, from Chicago, were assigned to the same number of the most destitute families here, to-day. The houses are expected to reach her X0 morrow. A car-load of stores reached here, to-day, from Pittsburg. They, with other necessary furnishmeut, will be placed! ill tho Portable houses as they are assigned, ounty Treasurer Howe, to-day, had notices posted, stating that he would bo hero July 3. for the purpose, of collecting taxes, lint little of the property assessed can be found, and the tax-payer's left here feel outraged at the posting of the notices, many of which have been torn down and destroyed.

The Czarewitch left HU Petersburg this morning and is expected here on Monday en route to Stuttgart to attend the Wurtemberg fetes. It is believed that the visit will result in an arrangement in accordance with which the Czar will come to Berlin. Emperor William's proposed visit to Alsace has been abandoned on the advice of his physicians, who recommend a short period of complete rest before his journey to England aad Greece, The doctors wanted the Emperor to tike salt-water baths at Rome watering place, but he refused. It has therefore, been arranged for him to take salt baths in the yacht Hohenzollern during his trip to Norway. Ho will generally sleep on board tho yacht, but when it ia necessary to stay ashore a log cabin will be run up for his accommodation, lie will amuse himself with fishing and shooting, and will make a short stay at the Lafoden islands, one of the best fishing stationt in Europe, A man-of-war will accompany the imperial yacht. Fetes are being arranged to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of tho King of Wurtemberg. The Stuttgart Gazett (official) publishes a proclamation in which the King expresses his joy that ho has been permitted to discharge the duties of his high position dnnng a momentous aad troubled period; thanks the peonle for their loyalty and devetion, which he says are the best reward for his endeavors tor the welfare of Wurtombcrg. and asks God's blessing upon his house and peeple. Emperor William has commissioned Koch to paint a picture representing the scene at the momeut when he led the foot-guards past his father at Charlottenburg, on May 18. 188. This was the only occasion npon which Frederio inspected the troops as Emperor. IloUt tb Flag Every Day. Eneclal to the Indianapolis Journal New York. June 22. The Press, to-morrow morning, will begin a crusade for the revival of the custom of hoisting the national colors on all federal buildings throughout the country every day. The general regulations of thn Treasury Department require that both tbe national and revenue flags shall be displayed on customhouses. With regard to tb former the regulation has been totally disregarded of late years. In answer to the appeal of the Press, CoL Joel U. Erhardt, collector of this port, promises that the flag shall be displayed on Monday and each day hereafter. Secretary Windora said he was not aware of the existence of the regulation, but he will see it enforced. Postmastergeneral Wanamakor does not know of any law requiring that tho flag shall be displayed over the postotfice buildings every day, but expresses him&elf as heartily in favor of the project, and will seo what can be done. Postmaster Van Cott, of this .citv, will try to get permission of . the department to raiM the llag over the postoffice every day. XI ! Xllne of 3Ir. XTayee.'

Where the Old Moons Go To. America. An old letter before me contains the following retort of an American, which is worthy of Lincoln's famous reply to thebeast that the sun nover sets on British soil, "because," ho raid, (5od won't ttust an Englishman in tliedar Two Englishmen were disputing about the moon, one instating it waa an inhabited elemeut, the other contending with him. A Yankee standinc r attends! tc tLtir discourse, and replied with co::!'iucc9: "It ie not." One of the gentlemtn, baing a little displeased at the intTlrence, with a look of disdain, said: "Hem do you know, elrl" "How do 1 know, birf" repc-nted the American. "Because, if it had been, the British wonld have aad the folly and presumption to have laid siege to it Ions before now." The Frenchman's exph i at.tn of what became of old moons, in rawer to the inquiry of a frieud, alw:V3 appeared ingenious. His companion said l.e could not account for the fact tiit t i had never heard of old moons. "Why, you ignoramus! Don't you know that the od Lord cuts them up aud makes btars out oi them."
