THE WILMINGTON SAILED FROM NEW LONDON IN 1855.

In the early fifties, shortly after the first treaty was made between the United States and Japan, a little group

The pros and cons were carefully discussed, and the verdict, which was unanimous, oan be best expressed in the language of Colonel Sellers, ".There's millions in it."

Accordingly the topsail schooner Wilmington was secured, and. clothing and provisions bought and loaded aboard the little craft that lay impatiently waiting to be off.

and four able seamen. Fairly dear from the harbor, the oonrse was laid for Gape Town, and she made the run in 58 days, remarkably good running for any craft But for this little schooner the run was considered marvelous.

The rest of the story is best told by George G. Fitch. He said: "We ran into Cape Town and traded for about two weety or ten days, and had fair suooesa Then we ran np to Ange point, on the faUiwi ef Java, and traded at the Dutch settlements fbr a week or 80, and froxd there we ran up to Batavia, which was quite a large city, and did very well there. After laying there for a short time, as long as the natives would trade, we sailed for Hongkong. "The Malays were very friendly to us, though there were lots of pirates all around there, but they never molested us. We watched them pretty oloseiy, and I guess maybe that had as much to do with it as anything else. "We had intended to stop at the islands of Borneo, but we heard of an English bark that had been there but a short time before and had all hands murdered. "We gave that place the go by and W6E$ on up to Hongkong, as I before stated. We ran into the last frort leaking, and discharged cargo for repairs. After we finished repairs, we reloaded what we had not sola of our cargo, and started for our objective point, as originally planned. That was Hikdata, Japan.

Every detail finished, the hawser was cast off on the 23d of January, 1855, and the Wilmington, with a saucy little toss of stern, stood out toward the race. The Wilmington was owned by Thomas Fitch, Captain William Brown and George Fitoh. all of this city, and was officered as follows: William Brown, captain Thomas Gager, first mate, and George Fitch, second mate. In addition, to these were a cook, a colored steward- .materially assist toward improving the condition of our charming fellow countrymen in Ireland.—London Times.

tuig wildly and swinging thelv^ like so many crazy people. "After awhile and after a mighty bad lot of pigeon English nad been spoken we began to understand what they wanted. They were forbidding us to land, and all around were lots of Japanese in boats, and as they looked anything bnt pleasant we took up our anchor and cruised back down to Shanghai, Qhina. "The action of the Japanese was entirely unlooked for on our part, as a trading treaty had just been made betyeen them and our government, and their refusal to allow us to land seriously interfered with our plans and caused us a great loss of money. I don't know as you know it, but ours was the first American ship to enter a Japanese port for trading purposes. At Shanghai we, discharged our cargo and got the most we could for it and then chartered our vessel for $1,300 a mouth to the English government for cruising purposes. "Captain Brown enteral a protest against the actions of the Japanese authorities, and the officers and crew scattered and worked their different ways back to New London the best they oould. A short while after the English had the Wilmington, she was caught in a typhoon in the China seas and torn np badly. She was run back into port, repaired and finally sold to pay the bill for the same. "Later the owners of the Wilmington reoeived from the Japan government a sum between $80,000 and $40,000 for nonfulfillment of treaty. The voyage to Japan was first planned and mapped out by Captain William Brown, who was an old whaling captain and had been all through the China seas It a failure, and we all lost a great deal of money. We didn't get the money front the Japan government until three or four years ago. "It was paid to us through Richard Latimer of Hartford, who also has a uummer bouse over on the other side of

Peasant Life in Ireland.

Professor A. C. Haddon, in a lecture on "Peasant Life and Industries of Ireland, -aid that lacemaking continued to be piuctiwd in some parts of Ireland, and, when trained, the Irish women were very expert in all kinds of needlework. The work of the men consisted chiefly of agriculture, turf cutting, fishifig and kelp burning. There was very little good soil in the west, and in scone places, as in the Arran islands, the soil had. actually to be made by bringing up sand, and seaweed from the shore and

With regard to the means of transport, on which the commercial prosperity of a country depended, he remarked that until comparatively recently then were no true roads in many parts of the west of Ireland and consequently no wheeled vehicles. One of the blessings wrested from the awful famine period jyas the building of roads, and during later famines the same wise policy had been oon tinned. It was to be hoped that the light railways of the present day or other means of oonveyanoe, such as auto cars, would give yet greater impetus Jo nascent local industries and th\is

Interruption.

Colonel Gordon, commandant at Fort Myer, was relating a string of reminisoenoes of his western campaigns to a group of friends a short time ago and was telling his hearers how on one occasion, in 1874, the civil authorities of Salt Lake Oity had arrested a number of his troopers for violation of the municipal ordinances.

These men," said the colonel, "were iy oertined as deserters from the army, for we had no knowledge of their fate until one day I found a number of them working on a chaingang in the streets. The matter was laid before the war department, and we were auth^ iced to take the men. A demand* was made on the city authorities for their surrender, and th* demand was curtly refused. We weft determined to carry our point, however, and a squad war detailed to take them out."

Here the colonel lit a cigar ana blew out two or three puffs of smoke before resuming. "When I broke the Salt Lake City jail," he continued, but before he couid tell the rest Tom Murrey interrupted him. "On what side of the jail were you, ooloncl?" he asked in sober earnestness.

For a few minutes there was such ac uproar of merriment that the colonel had difficulty in recovering the thread it W as in to after JuSSii^, j.K The groom haMton'" Conftwln* street*. I tft^Field msrn that the down town streets h?4p isjtfd&>n were formerly cow paths, and that unless one be careful in keeping bearings he is liable to walk in circles although apparently walking straight ahead, must be true, because it has been verified. It is to the effect that a stranger, having asked a policeman to direct him to a certain plaoe several blocks distant, followed the directions until he became bewildered Seeing a policeman, he asked again to be directed on his way. Confused again by not finding the place, he appealed again to a policeman. "Look here," the policeman remarked emphatically, "if you askmte that question again I'll run you in.

A stranger, who inserted that story into a description of his experiences in the town recently, was ooniused when a reputable gentleman of 85 years interrupted by saying that his experience in 1835 was similar, exoept that the person he asked was not a policeman.

It may perhaps be stated as the distinction of Lord Frederick Leighton amftng his peers that he has worshiped beauty, and especially the beauty of form, more exclusively than they. There is little or nothing of the mystic to aw ate beautiful images. Often beauty is their sole motive. Sometimes they olothe a beautiful idea, sometimes they present a fine dramatic soene, but in all eases the treatment is essentially aesthetic, whether the subject be the face of a woman or some tremendous theme like "Hercules Wrestling With Death" or "Rizpah Defending the Dead Bodies of Her Children."
