Mr. J. J. Aster, of New Yerk, having
declined n solicitation te subscribe, te the
Legan fund, some oue undertakes te apol
ogize for him by saying that he inakc3 It a
rule net te give when asked, that he may
thus relieve himself of th Importunity
that would jrlve him no rest If it vv as knew n
that-he might yield te It. The apology
"needs mero of apology than the erig.ual
offense, which in truth was none at all
Mr. Aster Is under no obligation te sub
scribe te the Legan fund. It has get te be
quite tee much the habit te ralse funds
for Tem, Dick and Harry and te ex
pect people te subscribe te them. It
Is a matter entirely within their vel!
lien, and they may decline all such
invitations with perfect propriety. The)
can hardly be considered invitations te
charity, though probably General Legan's
Is put somewhat en that ground. He has
been long In the public eervice and has left
ftfr n MMlnii(a fnrtiitia Ctltl Iia ftld tint
KjA left the widow renniless, by any means,
3d her children are able te take care of
-""themselves and her.
W are net aware that the country is in
debt te General Legan. If se. Congress
should pension his widow. He was a
Democratic politician before he went te
the wars, and as such we piesuraethat the
Republican portion of tLe people will
be disposed te deny his claim te public
gratitude and reward. Then he changed
x his politics and became a soldier and a
major general, with all the salary and dis
tinction that he could earn. We de net
understand that his services weie net
fully requited. "When the war was ever
he became a llepublicau politician and en
joyed a fine salary from the government
unlnteiruptcdly. He died without having
stolen a fertune ; which is se remarkable a
thing for a Republican politician te de that
a fund was at ence st.ii ted te reward
his widow, and all the rich men
of the country were called en te subscribe.
'r.r. J. J. Aster raid no. Doubtless he
Vfas tired. Probably he thought that it
rai impertinence te designate te Inm the
cbsuity lie should exercise. IU w.u rlhi
. rethink se. It was public!) known that
the fund for Mrs. Legan was started, aud
" any one who chose te subscribe te It knew
that his subscription would be welcomed.
But poeplo w he start such funds think
that they need te be stimulated ; and
doubtless they will net grew, without
prodding, where the popular Interest in the
subject is small. Many men permit them
selves te be dragooned iute subscribing;
just as many men are easy subjects of the
Impudent book canvasser or persistent life
insurance agent. It is the fact that im
pudent energy is effective In capturing the
many gulls that are around ; which makes
canvassers abuudant and a nuisance. The
business pays. Rut with such stock as Mr.
J. J. Aster te work upon, it would net pay.
It is a stuidy independent manhood that
refuses the diclatien of ethers as te what
is particularly ene's own business; and Mr.
Aster is commendable in refusing te sur
render at sight te the Legan fund solicitor.
Suspicious Concord.
Mr.Stcwart withdraws from the ma) eralty
contest in Philadelphia and leaves a walk
ever te Mr. Tltler for the Republican
nomination, and piesumably nti easy en
trance into the efllce. We wish the bieth.
ren joy of this candidate, who will be a
wonderful man if he pleases them all.
There i3 peace in the Republican ranks
in Philadelphia even ever the gas question,
where lately was angry disputation. The
councils committee wanted te lease the
works very badly ; but when a preposition
was made by ether parties te take them
upon much mero advantageous terms te
the city, the councils committee was net
anxious te lease. There never was a
plainer confession of a conspiracy te plun
der tle people. "When the Republicans of
Philadelphia are amiable It is a geed sign
that mischief Is meant for the people. The
concord ever Tiller Is suggestive of con cen
templated knaveiy.

Tin. New Yerk Independent publishes
this week the ttrst of what Is evidently la
tended te be a aeries of sketches en (The
Old Stene Meeting Uouses of the Cumber

Nevln, Ih. D., LU D. It Is written In the
characteristically graceful stjle of that most
charming and gitted author, whose merits
have been se lone hidden by his modesty.
The Independent, however, makes the un
pardonable error of confounding Prof. 'evln
w 1th bis deceased brether.the late distinguish
ed theologian, Kev. JehnW. Nevin, D.D. Net
only In the title of the article does it Incor
rectly reler te the author as the late Prof.
Wm. M. Nevln, D. D., LL. D ," but In
a Bpcclal editorial note It thus confutes the
two brothers, albeit what It aays of the char char
aetsr of Dr. Xevln and of the literary merits
et Prof. N's contribution, are each In them
selves correct : "We publish this week the
tlrstef two articles by the late Dr. J. W.
Ne!n, of Lancaster, Pa. Dr. Nevin was by
universal confession the ablest man iu the
history of the Kolermed (,ermaD church In
America. He was a man of great learning,
great lnteliectual power, deep religious pur
poses, and a delicate jeetlc Instinct. He was
a great theologian and disputant in his day,
and mere than any ether man he meulded
the denomination ofwhleh he wastheleader,
Fer seme years before his death he bed re
tired from active service, and was In feeble
health. The present article ,1s, we preaume,
the last that came from his pen, and waa re
ceived only a few days before bis death. In
It Dr. Nevln, lna quaint, rambling, leisurely
style de-crlbes the scenes of his boyheod.The
picture will be quite new te these te whom
antiquity suggests the New England Tillage,
whli-hhas bsen se inueh mere written up

professors followed the creed. New
Professer Smyth boldly and forcibly

published, entitled "Sketcluvs Irem My
Life," A llfe se full el adventure Mid e
cltement that it might hat e allerded h bend

sea rorer, for he had the spirit et the
buccaneer and went roving lu nieer miners
of the world in seirch oradentmo. lie fol
lowed his profession of a soldier of fortune
with great care for its honor, but he liked te
feel reasonably su reef A cash reward for his
gallant enterprises. He waasmi el the l.ul
of iHicktnghamshlre, and sutler leg the fate
of thoyeuugest sons of the nebtllt lu these
days he entered the navy as n midshipman
at the age et thirteen, was bullied and brow
beaten after the barbarous custom that made
the English war ship a flvuing hell, aud
cme out of the mill a llulf and fearless
sailor w 1th a bitter hatred of all t) ninny. He
served for a long time en the llraiillan sta
tion Intercepting slavers and W's often tout
in command of beat expeditious.
Oece when about te beard a famous slave
brig Hobart discovered thst all his percus
sion cap had beeu forgotten. n couo ceuo coue
quonceotthls accident the slaves were get
ashore . but our midshipman captured tbe
brig at her moorings, and without ammuni
tion held her against a constant Ure from the
land until his ship came te his relief. Sail
leg with his prize te Kie he te took another
slaver en the way having 4"0 Africans en
beard, alive aud dead, short et water and
previsions and ravaged bv smsilpex, optlial eptlial
mla aud dlarrheM. Once while aiutie watch
ing from the shore n slaver tbst had Hut
come In sight, two Cuban b.ixtdtuiauds m re
set upon him. He had a dnuble-birrellid
sun ; the first barrel missed lire, with the
second be blew out the brains of the nearest
deg; this checked the ether brute fur a
moment and gave one of the sailors time te
come up and sheet It. Ou n voyage te the
Cape et Geed Hepe In a captured slaver,
with tbe captain and tbree of his crew as
Krlscners, an attempt was ma le te murder
!m and retake the vcseL He shot the
slave captain, his quartermaster knocked
another of the asasslns overboard and tue
rest were put In Irons.
When the American civil war broke out
Hobart saw a chance te gratify n love of ad
venture and make money by rannini; the
blockade. He went into ihe bulnes under
the name of Captain It iberts. He made
eight successful trips te Wilmington and out
again. The vessel in which he made met
of his runs was a fast aud s'nunch d. able
screw steamer of 100 tenv Her pvrs were
reduced te a pair of light lower mmt", with
out yaids. Her hull, showing eUut leet
above water, was ptlnted a dull gray. TLe
beats were lowered square wiib the gun
wales. The funnel telescoped aud the eai
was smokeless anthracite. At ni-ht the
vessel was practically lnvlibie. Steam was
blown oil noiselessly under water. Among
the fowls taken en beard for previsions no
cocks were allowed ter fear of thelr crewing
Te get Inte Wilmtnsten the " D n," as
Captain Hobart calls her, had te run n double
cordon of cruNars, and she was genurallv
seen and chased at seme puts or the lines.
Once, after dodging her pursuers all dav and
all night, she feuuda sua uer .s slengsl le
her.
"Hew shehad get there wltheu' cur know

ever, thsre she was, and we had hardly seen
her before a steuterlau volce uolej out,
Heave te in that stoamerer I'll "ink jeu
It seemed as 1( all was ever, but I determined
te try a rue befere giving the little trait up.
Se 1 answered, 'Aye, ave, sir, we are
stepped.' The cruiser was about eight v
yards from us. We heard orders given te
man and arm the 'uartcr beats, vvosjwtUe
beats lowered Inte the water, we saw theiu
coming, we heard the crews cheering at the
prospect of their prize. The bowmen had
Just touched tbe sides of our vessel with thlr
beat hooks when 1 whispered down tbe tuiw
into the engine room, Fu.l spsed ahead "
and away we shot into the darkness
"I don't knew what happened . whether tie
captain of the man-of-war tbejght tLat his
beats had taken possesslon, and thus did net
try te step us, or whether he stepped te pick
up his beats In the rather uaty sea that was
running, some one who reads this may
knew. All I can say Is that ne: a shot was
ttred, and tbatlnlessthaua minute the plteh
darkness hid the cruiser from our view.
This was a great piece of luck."
Alter ether narrow escapes the l n
reached the entrance te Cape Fear river and
showed a light from the lntbore side of the
vessel. This was answered by Un lights
being placed a short distance apart en the
beach, se low that they could net be teen
from the Heel, and by Retting tLe.e l.ghts
into line the blerkade-runncr leund the
channel aud steamed iu. When morning
broke Hobart teuutad twentj-tne crumers
behind him and en the shorts In lUmc
was a line blev-kade-runuer which nad been
beached In the night te avoid cvpture.
"It will be difficult te erasa from u.y
memory the nxcltement of the evening we
made our little craft fast alongside the quay
at Wilmington, the congratulations we re
ceived, the champagne cocktail we I in bl bed,
the eagerne-is with whl h we ie and re
ceived news,"
On the way out well lulled with cotton.
Hebart'a ship was chased all day by a ''ruber
which was slowly overhauling him, aud he
only saved hlmeelf by taking advantage if
the Gulf stream. As coon na he crossed the
ripple which marks the edge of the wtream he
turned Inte the current, there running two
or three knots lu bis favor. His pursuer
changed course at the same time without
waiting te reach thecurreut, and thus Hobart
gained a lead of several mllea. Uydusk the
war vessel w as w Itbln raugeand began Uring ,
but the D n was net hit and under cover
of darkness she hauled oil te oue side and let
the cruiser go by.
Captain Hobart, speaks highly of the char
acter and ability or the I'nited Svtej naval
officers, especially theso or the regular sr
vice, and he was greatly improved, in spue
et his own geed luck, with the general
effectiveness of the blockade. Our ship,
however, he thinks were net as well manned
aa efllcered.
When he entered the 'lurklsh navy his
services were especially desired te Bb'p the
blockade-running by which the Greeks kept
alive the Cretan Insurrection. Considering
everything it is net surprising that he wes
easily successful in this work. It was then
that he received from an elllcer of the Brit,
ish admiralitya seml-clllclal letter taylug
"L'nleasyeu leave tbe Turkish nervlreveu
will be scratched off the list." He answered.
" Yeu may scratch and be d I, " and he
waa takeu at his word. Hut srine years
afterward he was reinstated.
