Title may be purchased, but vhliit' is tlie only coin that makes the bartfaln valid.— Burton. The long line of illustrious men who have held the exalted position of Presi- ^t of the United States has not its counterpart in the world's history. Not "idlers by Divine right" but by the will of the people,— occasionally not by I majority of the popular vote, but, by the majority of the Tlectoral College, ich is a conception of the early Congress, and, while we perhaps think that tli| majority ought to rule, yet this is not the law, and we are a wonderfully gi^ people to obey the law. The men who have filled these exalted positions oaiic from the people, — some had wealth, 'tis true, others came from the farm other humble walks of life, but with a desire to serve the people and advance interests of the Republic. No czars, no emperors, no kings with an entailed session, with or without brains ; no blue blood, made bluer by running back barbarism, but good, rich, American blood that thrills the very soul. — inde- [dent, honest, Qod-fearing men, whose counsels have carried the Republic )ugh the perils of birth at Bunker Hill and Yorktown and Valley Forge until \&j we can dictate terms of peace to '^e proudest nations on the globe. Tlie 19th Century to Americans is most important, for it is our initial cent- We had just seen the light of day iu our new condition when 1800 was ired in. The declaration had gone forth to be free but the experiment was jto be tried. When the bold, determined men signed the Declaration and the Intiet was thrown down to the arrogant, proud Briton, it was faith i*t God and jder, the free men of America and George Washington of Virginia that in- [ed our forefathers to wondrous deeds of valor amid great sacrifices and a holy ^rmination to be free. Washington was called by his countrymen to lead the lies of the young republic to victory; and, as they marched and counter- :hed and suffered for country, and country alone, the tide of battle rolled the sacrifices and the life blood of tiie fathers and sons hallowed the ind and cleared the skiei and peace wan declared. The armies disbanded i the modest hero bade farewell to his comrades in arms, retiring to his estate Tirginia to live in quietude for the balance of his life, but the people willed it brwise, and— [GEORGE WASHINGTON, the First President, was honored by a two- service from 1789 to 1797. He was born on February 22, 1782, near Bridges Bk, Va-, and inherited large landed estates from his father. The first election occurred in January, 178). The two houses of congress had been crga ized in New York about April 4, 1789, although March 4th had been tL| appointed time. The organization of the goTernment was completed on Apr: 80th.

John Jay was tne first chief justice. At this time the country had debt of $80,000,000,— a fabulous sum considering the country's small populali and resources. After a re-el&ction of Washington and John Adams for a seen: term, the cabinet was Timothy Pickering, secretary of state; Oliver Wolcc secretary of the treasury; James McHenry, secretary of war; and Charles h attorney general. There was no navy at this time. General Washington died Mount Vernon, Va. , December 14, 1799. JOHN ADAMS, Second President, was born at Braintree, Mass,, October 30, 1735. In early life he was a school teacher and had ambition to ec;! the army, but lacked the requisite influence to accomplish what he desired, \ then he thought of theology, but finally turned his attention to law and admitted to the bar. He married Abigail Smith and removed to Boston in 17| On the organization of the first Continental Congress, which met in Philadelpli in 1774, he was one of the five members to represent Massachusetts.

As Vice-President he opened the electoral vJ and declared himself Prssident and Thomas Jefferson Vice-President. Duringf administration the seat of the general government was removed to the Distii of Columbia, its present location. Virginia and Maryland had ceded ten miij square of land for this purpose. His cabinet remained about as General Wa ington had left it, with the addition of the navy portfolio, to which Benjaii Stoddard, of Pennsylvania was appointed. General Washington died during t| Administration. Mr. Pickering failing to be in accord with the President "discharged from further service as secretary of state." Mr. Adams diedj July 4, 1826 THOMAS JEFFERSON, the Third President, was born in Shadwj Va., on April 2, 1743. His family was of Welsh ancestry and his education* classical order. He was graduated from the William and Mary College' honors, and then turned Js attention to law and soon built up a large praotj In 1769 he was elected m<. mber of the house of burgesses. He entered the an of politics deliberately, for the benefit of his fellow men and not to enrich I self, except in contentment, deeming the respect and consideration of bis fellij of far greater worth than riches. He married on January 1, 1772, Mrs. Ma Skelton, a childless widow, who, upon the death of her father added toj husband's estate 50,000 acres and 185 slaves. On June 20. 1775, he took hisi| the CoDtineDtal Congress in Philadelphia, and on the snine day learned and bprised congress of the battle of Bunker Hill.

He was elected President and Aaron Burr Vice-President by the house representatives, and for the second term his running male was Mr, George linton, of New York ; James Madison was his secretary of state. During his Bond administration, Georgia ceded 100,000 square miles of land whicli now rm the states of Alabama and Mississippi; Louisiana was purchased from lace; Aaron Burr was tried for treason; the slave trade was abolished and idge Pictering was impeached.

He and Mr. Jefferson met for first time on Octol)er 7, 1776, at the first session of the independent legislative jmbly of Virginia, where he was one of the delegates to represent the state in congress of the confederation. His abilities were recognized, and he was ced on most important committees. He was secretary of state under Jefferson 1801, and took an active part in the negotiations then pending with foreign lions. He was twice elected President, serving from March 4, 1809, to 1813, \h George Clinton of New York, as Vice-President the first term, and Elbridge rry of Massachusetts, for the second.

He was the author of the famous Monroe doctrine. In his ^age he declared : " As a principle, the American continents, by the free and independeat positions which they have assumed and maintained, are henci furth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any Europeai power." At the expiration of his second term as President, in 1825, he retired t his estate at Oak Hill. Va. , and was soon chosen as justice of the peace. His IE health compelled him to relinquish all political cares and to decline further honon He was not a thrifty man, for in his old age he was much harrassed by debt. M Monroe died at the residence of his son-in-law in New York City on July 4, 183: but in 1858 his remains were removed to Richmond, Va., amid universal reve ence and great pomp.

He returned to America, hui; ever, and was chosen to the Massachusetts senate April 6, 1802, and to the UuiK j States senate in 1803. He was very umpopular in the senate, and resigned befc his time expired, sayug: "He was not the man to remain where he was i; wanted." Under President Madison he was sent for the second time as minis to Russia. He was also a commissioner to Ghent to effect a treaty with Ee| land, and, after the treaty had been concluded, he went to Paris and witnesJ the return of Napoleon from Elba and the events of the famous " hundn| days."

In early life he was a teacher, and was given to all ecrtsl sports. He was an expert duellist, and fought one in 1795, and again in i^ when he killed his antagonist, Charles Dickenson. He commenced practic| law In Nashville, Tenn., in 1788, was elected to congress In 1796, heard Wa ington deliver bin last message, and in 1797 went to the senate. He was irrit^ as a senator, for the body was too slow and deliberate for one of his fiery teinfl The historian says: *'Hewas desperately in debt, and sold his estate of 25f acres to liquidate." He then removed with his negroes to "The Hermitage, "i settled, as he supposed, for the balance of his life ; but events changed | purpose. The War of 1813 broke out, and he tendered his services and that of 2.1 men, which were accepted, and he was ordered to New Orleans, January 7. I3 He did not arrive there, however, owing to some misunderstanding, andj iarched the troops back, when they were mustered out. It was on this march that was dubbed "Old Hickory," and the name clung to him for the balance of his e. He participated in some of the Indian wars, and again was ordered to Nev' Irleans to face the " red coats." Upon his arrival he commenced to fortify. ith cotton bales and earth, on December 251, 1814. The British fleet of fifty ships, itb 1,000 guns and 20,000 veterans, were anchored below the city. General Jack- ^n, with only 2,000 men on the ground and 4,000 somewhere en route, nothing tunted. threw down the gauntlet for John Bull to pick up. On New Year's |ky of 1815, the British began to bombard his works of earth and cotton, and, |ter the commanding general thought " Old Hickory" and his recruits were about ■ready to cry quits," an assault was ordered, which resulted in a loss of 700 piled, 1,400 wounded and 000 prisoners to the British, while Jackson's loss was fht killed and thirteen wounded. The assault occurred just before dawn, but ^e defeat was most overwhelming. This was the last battle of the war. The eaty of peace had already been signed at Qhent on December 24, 1814, but tbe ^ws did not reach Washington until February 14, 1815. General Jackson was twice elected President, commencing on March 4, 1829, Id ending March 4, 1837. John C. Calhoun was Vice President the first term, \d Martin Van Buren the second.

He was married in 1807, and elected I tbe state senate in 1812 and remained for eight years, also was attorney leral from 1815 to 1819. In 1816 he removed to Albany and formed a law rtnership with Benjamin F. Butler, of New York, and became, also, regent [the State University. In 1821 he was elected to the United Stntes senate and :ame governor of New York, in 1827, resigning from the senate for that pur- President Jackson made him his secretary of state, and in June, 1831, ap- ^nted him as Minister to England, but he was not confirmed.

WILLIAM HENRT HARRISON, the Ninth President, was born in tkeley, Va., February 9, 1773. When Washington became President he was but Ken yerrs of age. Education was not so easily obtained then as now, and |ian border troubles attracted the attention of young Harrison, so he entered larmy. He was commissioned as an ensigu in April, 1791, and assigned to the jllery. His j^uthful appearance attracted the attention of his superiors, but Idetermination brought him to the front, and he was advanced and placed up- }he staff of Gk^neral Anthony Wayne, who complimented him in orders, for [bravery. In 1795 he was a captain of artillery and in 1800 President Adams minted him governor of the new territory of Indiana, an immense domain, from which the States of Indiana, Illtnois, WisconAlnand Michigan were fornieq Ilia powers were autocratic. He was not only commander of the entire milititil but, was Indian and land commissioner, legislator and law giver, and held tl pardoning power. It was wonderful authority, but he was a wonderful mac and dealt fearlessly and equitably with all. Tecum«eh, the noted Indian Chit' w&s a disturber of the peace and assembled with one thousand warriors at Tippi cauoe, Indiana, to dispute the authority of Governor Harrison. The gauntlt thrown down by this imperious, proud warrior was accepted by the general, an he advanced upon them, and, when near the town was severely set upon by \l savages, who were defeated. The War of 1812 provoked the Indians to a genen uprising, and General Harrison was appealed to by Kentucky, whose Governi commissioned him as major general of State troops. The President in the meat time had made him a brigadier general in the regular army where he did sue signal service that his countrymen wishing to still further honor him, his parr nominated him for the Presidency. He was elected and with bim John Tylen. Vice President on March 4, 1841. His secretary of state was Daniel Webste: secretary of treasury, Thomas Ewing; secretary of war, John Bell and seen tavy of navy, Geo. Edmund Badger. General Harrison died on April 4th of the same year as the result of a coi incurred on the day of his inaugural. I I JOHN TYLER, the Tenth President, was bom in Greenway. Va., ^l March 29, 1790. He was quite a poet, as well as something of a musician, b^ law was his profession. Among his classm^ites were James Madison, preside:! of the college, and Thomas Jefferson. He entered the arena of politics and vi elected to the Virginia legislature in 1811 and married Letitia Christian on Marc| 20, 1813. In the War of 1812 he commanded a company in the defense of Rir- mond against the English. Politically he was opposed to slavery, and, on t:| "compromise bill" admitting Missouri without restriction, he voted in the nej tive, much to the surprise of his friends. He was a forceful and ready debater] Congress. He declined a re-election to congress in 1821 on account of ill heaKl but in 1828 was again elected, and in 1826 was elected governor of his stai He was elected Vice-President on the ticket with General Harrison, and upii the notice of the President's death at once repaired to Washington, taking tii oath of office on April 6, 1841. Upon assuming the duties of President tbef were some changes in the cabinet. Upon a re-adjustment the official family t| composed of such men as Walter Forward, of Pennsylvania; John McLean, j Ohio; Charles A. Wickliff, of Kentucky; John C. Spencer, of VirgiDi Thomas W. Gilmore, of Virginia, and William Wilkins, of Pennsylvacl Two members of the cabinet were killed by the explosion of a gun on the ve4 " Princeton," and the places were filled by John C. Calhoun and John Y. Mas| of Virginia. After leaving the White House Mr. Tyler returned to " Sherw Forest," where he dwelt for the remainder of his life. He retired from politj entirely but was often called upon to take part in public gatherings. It was] who suggested the peace conference of the states which met in WashingtoDJ February, 1861. He was the president of the conference. He finally went wj Virginia and was member-elect to the Confederate house of representatives, I died before he took his seat. His death occurred on January 18, 1862. esult of a CO. JAMES K. POLK, the Elorenth President, was bori in Mecklenburg. lortb C-Tolina, on November 2, 1795. He was of Scotch-Irish parentage and father was a captain in the War of the Revolution. He at one time worked a country store, but his taste was not in that direction, so he turned his atten- )n to law, and in order lo educate his son the father made a great sacrifice; but was repaid in future years by seeing the son honortdby the Nation. Mr. Polk Irned to politics and in 1823 was elected to the house of representatives, returned 1834, and was elected to congress in 1825, and re-elected until 1839, when he kcame governor of Tennessee. He was a free trader, an advocate for the exten- )n of slavery, and advised the annexation of Texas. He was elected speaker the house of representatives in 1835, and so remained for four years. In 1839 decided not to become candidate for another congressional term, but was a [ndidate for governor— had a vigorous canvass and was elected. In 18^1 he is again a candidate for governor, but was defeated by the whigs. He was |augurated as President and George M. Dallas as Vice President on March 4, 15. He received 175 votes of the electoral college, as against 105 for Cassius Clay. His cabinet was composed of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania; )bert J. Walker, of Mississippi; William M. Marcy, of New York; Cave John- In, of Tennessee, and John Y. Mason, of Virginia. These were all able men. [r. Calhoun, as secretary of state in the preceding administration, had signed a BHty of annexation with Texas on April 12. 1844, which was approved by con- sss on March 1, 1845, and the following day signed by Mr. Tyler. The Mexican government issued a proclamation denouncing the annexation act Id called upon the people to rally in defense of their country, but did not declare iT. General Taylor was sent with an army "to assert the old French claim, — rights given to Texas by Santa Anna and the new title of the United States." May 7. 1846, the Mexican troops first opened fire on General Taylor at Palo |to, and the Mexican war opened, when 50,000 men were called for. The campaigns were vigorously prosecuted by Generals Scott and Taylor, City of Mexico was captured and our troops continued in possession of the iniry. Finally terms were agreed upon — Texfifi, New Mexico, Arizona and Jliforuia were made the property of the United States upon the payment of >, 000,000. The treaty signed in Mexico on February 2, 1848, was sanctioned [congress on March 10, and the Mexican war ended. Mr. Polk's political career was a most remarkable one. His administration filled with momentous questions that called forth his best qualities, and he lid have been re-nominated but declined, and upon the close of his term Ired to private life, to nurse back his impaired vitality, which had been over ted by the cares of office. He died at Nashville, Tenn., Jv.ne 15, 1849. I ZACHARY TAYLOR, the Twelfth President, was born in Orange county, \., on September 24, 1784. His father was Lieutenant Colonel Tuyior of the Virginia, which he commanded In the revolutionary war. He was always >ldier, having been born and bred amid the glitter and glamour of the army, the stern realities of war. In 1808 he was a lieutenant of infantry, and cap- in 1810. In 1812 was in command of Fort Harrison on the Wabash, but in he resigned and went to his farm, where he remained but a short time, sn he returned to the army, and was made lieutenant colonel and placed in imand of Fort Snelling, which at that time was far out on the frontier. In 1882 he wu full colonel and participated in the second Black Hawk war, whJ he secured the surrender of that renowned chief. He took a prominent part 'i\ the Seminole war in 1836, and was breveted a brigadier general In 1887; wi| ordered to Texas July, 1845, to defend her against Mexico, and was made breTrj major general May, 1846. He took a prominent part, also, in the Mexican mth'iJ at the end of which he was elected President, with Millard Fillmore as Vial President, and inaugurated on March 4, 1849. He started for Washington o| January 24th to enter a political life which was antagonistic to his taste, for l| loved the army and the frontier, where the greater part of his life had been spenii The manner of travel was slow, and "Old Rough and Ready'' reached Wasllj ington on February 23d. As March 4th was on Sunday, he was inducted inid office on Monday, March 5th. In his cabinet were John M. Clayton, of DelJ ware; \Vm. M. Meredith, of Pennsylvania; George W. Crawford, of Qeorgilj Wm. B. Preston, of Virginia; Thos. Ewing, of Ohio; Jacob Callaman, of Vocjl mont and Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland. On July 4, 1850, President Tay! j attended a ceremony at the Washington monument and became overheatt( ^ which resulted in his death on the night of July 9, 1850. His oldest daugbtd Sarah, became the wife of Jefferson Davis. (i MILLARD FILLMORE, the Thirteenth President, as Vice-PresldeDl upon the death of General Taylor, was sworn into office.

Originally they were employed t prevent mutiny among the sailors. The guns of a battleship can carry from six to twelve miles, hurlini; a sh weighing half a ton. Behind the heavy armor there is a padding of eitlier corn pith or coc(i| husks. It costs !|5oo every time one of the big guns on board a ship is fired. Sailors are paid from f().5o to $12.50 per month and board. An act of congress in 1S72 abolished flogging in the navy. The American navy has practically all been built since i88j. A captain in the navy ranks with a colonel in the army. The oldest iron vessel is the Michigan, built in 1844. Five battleships are now under construction. The ships are painted white, except in time of war, when they are green. Barnacles form on the hull of a ship, impeding its speed. Six months' rruisl will decrease the speed of a ship 15 per cent., and it must go into dry dock. Sixty-one merchant vessels belong to the auxiliary navy. These ships ar| subsidized, and by contract must be given to the United States on demand. Some of the guns in the navy can fire a shot twelve miles, farther th3:| a man can see, for the guns are aimed and sighted by machinery. Five hundred and twenty-six men and forty officers are required to ir.:J the cruiser New York. Battleships afe covered with armor of nickel steel from five to seve inches thick. (' We have six aHiioi-ed battleships — the Indiana, Iowa, Massachuseii| Texas, Kearsage and Kentucky. A submarine torpedo boat, to be known as the Plunger, is now undfj construction. Projectiles thrown by naval guns are shaped much as the bullets shot :j the ordinary rifle. A big battleship has on board an electric plant capable of lighting a to'| of 5,000 inhabitants. The boilers of the Iowa have a heating surface of eight acres, and thirty-two tons of water.

Risers make ninete'>n to twenty-four knots, while the monitors can travel five to seven knots. The biggest guns in the navy are forty-nine feet long, big enough for a to crawl into; four feet in diameter at their largest part, and weigh I500 pounds or thereabouts. 1 In a battle at sea the woodwork and all articles of wood are either stowed bw or thrown overboard lest the men be injured by splinters. [The origin of the navy department may be said to date from October 13, j, when congress authorized the equipment of two cruisers. The fastest vessels in the navy are the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont, i of which ran travel 27.5 knots an hour. (Battleships cost from $2,500,000 to $3,750,000, and cruisers from $600,000 13,000,000. A good torpedo boat costs over )(ioo,ooo. [Battleships are for heavy work; cruisers are commerce destroyers; monitors juseful only for coast defense. iThe Indiana could lie outside Sandy Hook and throw 1,200-pound shots New York at the rate of four a minute. Those artists who show smoke in their pictures of naval battles are wholly ^g. Smokeless powder is used. Ul of the cruisers are named in honor of cities, and the battleships, except Learsarge, in honor of states.

Kew York, February 17, Miss Frances E. Willard died at the Empire Hotel at midnight on the 17th. Miss Willard was the •' Uncrowned Queen of America;" she was an American by birth, but belonged to the World. In early life she lived on a farm, an^ loved the country home and countjy manners; did not attend school until fourteen years of age, yet, with a mind receptive to all that was sensible and good, she became a ripe scholar and a profound thinker, an organizer and a safe leader. She stood a peer among the great educators in America, and a stalwart in her life work — purity and sobriety. Frances Willard goes down to future generations as a martyr, and 'tis well. The great cause for which she labored and died needed such a sacrifice to stimulate her co-laborers to greater work in this part of the Mas- ter's vineyard. She died on the battlefield of temperance and purity with her face towards the enemy, and, it is fitting that a monument be erected to her memory, to commemorate her many hard struggles and self-sacrificing devotion to a work honored of God. "The Temple," built and burdened with debt, should be re-dedicated and redeemed. Let "Willard Temple free from debt," from this on, be the "war cry" of all the ribboners — the Red, White and Blue — and before the nineteenth century goes out the temperance people can, with a just pride, point to a beautiful and enduring monument, erected to the memory of the world's greatest temperance advocate and leader— Frances E. Willard. New York, February 28, "I am for war, if war is declared, not only as an Ameri- can but as a Catholic priest." — Father Sylvester Malone, Church of SS. Peter and Paul, Williamsburg, N. Y.

" As it was now obviously impos-^ible to ram any of the Spanish shipH, on at • count of their superior speed, the luwu's helm was put to the starboard, and she ran on a course parallel with the enemy. Bein^ then abreast of the Alnin-ante Ociuciido at a distance of 1,1()0 yards, the Iowa's entire battery, including the rapid-tiif (r,)„, was opened on the Oquendo. The punishment was terrlttc. Many twelve and eijfht! inch shells were seen to explode inside of her, and smoke came throuffh her liatclies, The 0<|uendo seemed to stop her en^rincs for a moment and lost headway; Imt sh.. immediately resumed her speed and gradually drew ahead of the Iowa and came under the terrific fire of the Oregon and Texas. "At this moment the alarm of 'Torpedo boats' was sounded, and two tcirpeiin boat destroyers were discovered in tlie starboard quarter ut a distance oi 4,111111 yards. Fire was at once opened on them with the after battery, and a twelvelniii shell cut the stern of one destroyer squarely ofT. As the shell struck a small torptiln boat fired back at the battleship, sending a shell within a few feet of my heml. I sait to Executive OfHcer Rogers: 'That little diap has got a lot of cheek.'

The marvel was iliat she was not destroyed by the rain of shells. In the meantime the Vizcaya was slowly drawing abeam of tlie Iowa, and for the space of fifteen minutes it was give and take between the two ships. The Vlzcaya fired rap. Jly, but wildly, not one shot taking effect on the Idua, while the shells from the Iowa were tearing great rents in the sides of the Vlzcaya! As the latter passed ahead of the Iowa she came under the mxirderous the of the Oregon. At this time the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almlrante Oquendo, leading the enemy's column, were seen to be beading for the beach In flames. The Texas, Oregon and Iowa pounded them unmercifully. They ceased to reply to the tire, ami in a few moments the Spanish eruistrs were a mass of flames and on the rocks with their colors down, the Teresa flying a white flag at the fore. '• The crews of the enemy's ships, stripped, began jumping overboard, when one of the smaller magazines began to explode. " Meantime the Brooklyn and the Cristobal Colon were exchanging compliments in lively fashion at apparently long range, and the Oregon, with her locomotive speed, was hanging well on the Colon, also paying attention to the Vlzcaya. The I Teresa and the Oquendo were In flames on the beach just twenty minutes after the first shot was fired. Fifty minutes after the first shot was fired the Vlzcaya put her helm to port, with a great burst of flame from the after part of the ship, and headed | slowly for the rocks at Aeceraderes, where she found her last resting place. " As it was apparent that the Iowa could not possibly catch the Cristobal Colon, I and that the Oregon and Brooklyn undoubtedly would, and as the fast New York was | also on her trail, I decided that the calls of humanity should be answered and atten tlon was given to 1,200 or 1,500 Spanish oflicers and men who had struck their oolorsto | the American squadron commanded by Admiral Samps(m. I therefore headed for the wreck of the Vlzcaya, now burning furiously fore and aft. When I was In as far as I the depth of water would admit I lowered all my boats and sent them at once to the assistance of th^ unfortunate men, who were being drowned by dozens or roasted on the decks. I soon discovered that the insurgent Cubans from the shore were shootlDf | men who were struggling in the water, after having surrendered to us. I Immediately put a stop to this, but I could not put a stop to the mutilation of miiny bodies by tlie I sharks inside the reef. These creatures had become excited by the blood from the | wounded mixing with the water. " My boats' crews worked manfully and succeeded In saving many of the wounde(', from the burning ship. One man, who will be recommended for promotion, clambered j up the side of the Vizcaya and saved three men from burning to death. The smaller magazines of the Vizcaya were exploding with magnificent cloud effects. The boats! were coming alongside in a steady string, ani willing hands were helping the laoera' ted Spanish oflScers and sailors onto the Iowa's quarter deck. All the Spaniards \\ ere I absolutely without clothes. Some h.ad their legs torn oft by fragments of shells. Others | were mutilated in every conceivable way. "The bottoms of the boats held two or three Inches of blood. In many cases dead] men were lying In It. Five poor chaps died on the way to the ship. They were after- ward burled with military honors from the Iowa. Some examples of heroism, or more I properlv. devotion to discipline and duty, could never be surpassed. One man on the Vizcaya had his left arm almost shot off just below the shoulder.

"Immediately after him came a Htronff-hearted Railor whose left \eg had been shot otT above the knee. He was hoisted un board the luwa with a tackle, but never a whimper came from him. Oradually the mani^rled bodies and naked men ticcumulated until it would have been almost difficult to recogni/e the luwa as a United Htates battleship. " Ulood was all over her usually white <|uarterdeck, and 272 naked men were belnfr Hupplied with water and food by those who a few minutes before had been usinif a rapid-tlre battery on them. Finally came the boat with Capt. Eulate, commander of the Vizcaya, for whom a chair was lowered over the side, as he was evidently wounded. The Captain's guard of marines Vas drawn up on the quarterdeck to salute him, and I stood waiting to welcome him. " As the chair was placed on the deck the marines presented arms. Capt. Euhite slowly raised himself in the chair, saluted me with grave dignity, unbuckled bis sword-belt and, holding the hilt before him, kissed It reverently with tear.s in his eyes, and then surrendered it to me. "Of course I declined to receive it, and as the crew of the Iowa saw this they cheered like wild men. As I started to take Capt Eulate into the cabin to let the doctors examine his wounds the magazines on board the Vizcaya exploded with a tre- mendous burst of flame. The captain, extending his hands, said, ' Adios, Vizcaya. There goes my beautiful ship, captain,' and so we passed on to the cabin, where the doctors dressed his three wounds. " In the meantime, thirty ofHcers of the Vizcaya had been picked up, besides 272 of her crew. Our wardroom and steerage officers gave up their staterooms and furnished food, clothing and tobacco to the naked officers from the Spanish vessel. The pay- master issued uniforms to the naked sailors, and each was given all the corned beef, coffee and hard tack he could eat. The war had assumed another aspect. '* As I knew the crews of the flrst two ships wrecked had not been visited by any of our vessels, I ran down to them. I found the Gloucester with Admiral Cervera and a number of his officers aboard and also a large number of wounded, some in a fright- fully mangled condition. Many prisoners had been killed on shore by the tire of th»> Cubans. The Harvard came off and requested Capt. Cotton to go In and take uff the crews of the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almlrante Oquendu and by midnight the Harvard had 076 prisoners aboard, a great number of them wounded. "For courage and dash there is no parallel in history to this action of the Span- ish admiral. He came, as he knew, to absolute destruction. There was one single hope -that was that the Cristobal Colon would steam faster than the Brooklyn. The spectacle o* two torpedo-boat destrovers, paper shells at best, deliberately steaming out i -J broad aa,yllgbt in the face of the fire of a battleship can be described In one way— It was Spanish and it was ordered by Blanco. The same must be said of the ertire movement. "In contrast to this Spanish fashion was the cool, deliberate Yankee work. The American squadron was without sentiment, apparently. The ships went at their Spanish opponents and literally tore them to pieces. But the moment the Spanish flas? oame down, It must have been evident that the sentiment was among the Ameri- cans and not among the Spaniards. "I took Admiral Cervera aboard the Iowa from the Gloucester and received him with a full admiral's guard. The crew of the Iowa crowded aft over the turrets, half naked and black with powder, as Cervera stepped over the side bareheaded.

EaSkT Sunday, April i5. Closin ^ year of the nineteenth century. The year 1900 is not a leap year for the following' reasons : The Gregorian rule of intercalation now in vogue runs as follows : Every yearl of which the number is divisible by four, without a remainder, is a leap year,! excepting centesimal years, which are only leap years when divisible by fnutj after suppressing the two zeros; thus 1600 was a leap year, 1700 a. id 1800 1 were common years, and 1900 is also a common year. The year 2000 will be| a leap year, and so on. There is no use of money equal to that of beneficence; here the enjoyment grows] on reflection.

Don't fort^et to trive three hearty cheers, hoys, And lift off your hats for a toss, In hi,i,di honor of " Old (ilory'' " mother — Colonial dame, Betsey Ross. 'Twas her fingers so deft and so clever That (ieneral Washington sought. When he wanted the hrst flag of freedom By the best of needle-skill wrought. She had henmied all the fine linen ruffles That on his shirt bosom he wore, And he knew that her work would do honor To the banner our new Nation l)ore. Her sliarp scissors cut out the star ])attern ; She measured the stripes on her lap, As she sat in her s])lint-bottomed rocker In her clean starched kerchief and cap. With most careful precision she Jiasted Thirteen pure, white stars on the blue. Then felled them all down with such stitches As proved to be lasting and true. General Washington smiled with a(>proval When the work was finished, and there Was unfurled the first flag of our Nation From tlie needle-skilled dame's sewing chair, liut in the long march that liright constellation Has grown larger and brighter with stars, W^hich shine witli glory resplendent, All over Its red and white bars. Our world-honored flagi Let it rise, let it rise All over our country to-day, W'hile this great republic in reverence liends To the God of our Nation, to pray That He will give power and wisdom To the brave, who follow its lead That the chain of oppression be l)roken, A long-sulTering people be freed. — [Siisdii Teall Perry in SUx'ldirUhje [Mass.)
