18 TIL K KI.AII OF TIIE lIONIIOMMK RICHARD
NT■ 1.1. EXTANT AND WHO OWNS I I ?
Fnilll l>'U'lo|| T.|fgru{ill, Mhk Ii 11.
Those were lively days when I'uul
Jon ex and hi* flying squadron of four
ships were hanging oil' the mouth of
the Humher in the autumn of 177'.', and
when, after one of the most terrific
duel ever fought between a brace of
ships at sea, the lion horn me Richard,
commanded by Captain Jones, forced
her much heavier English antagonist,
the Serapis, to haul down her llag.
Everything connected with Paul Jones
has, indeed, such a spell of romance
thrown uround it by American enthu
siasts that it is hard to explain why
umong ourselves he is little more than
a name. That he is still regarded in
thife country as a pirate may he inferred
from the fact that not many years ago a
race-horse called Paul Jones won the
Chester Cup, and that he bore this name
because he was the son of Buccaneer.
At the commencement of one of his
novels Sir Walter Scott alludes to the
unseemly scare which took posses
sion of Eden burgh and of Leith, its
port, when, in 1778, Paul Jones and his
little squadron, carrying altogether less
than a thousand men, threatened I.eitli
from the sea, with the avowed intention
of levying from the little town a contri
bution of .€200,000. At the moment
there were not fewer than 20,000 sol
diers, some of them being regulars and
the rest militia and volunteers, in Edin
burgh alone; but the terror excited in
the breasts of our fathers by Paul Jones
proves beyond question that bis fame
as man of unusually intrepid courage,
of singular coolness in ilanger and of
ready resources had spread far anil
wide, which makes it strange that more
should not now he known as to the
chi j f incidents of his history than is
ordinarily current in England, even
among what are called well-informed
men.
John Paul—for this was his real name
first saw the light at Arbigtand, in
Kirkcudbrightshire, upon the edge o(
the Solway Firth, in the year 1747.
His father was a respectable gurdner,
who was said in England to have once
been in the employ of the Earl of
Selkirk—an allegation which is indig
nantly denied by the American biogra
pliers of i'uul Jones. Be litis as it may,
the boy showed from the first a passion
ate partiality for a sailor's life. He
was therefore bound apprentice by his
father to a merchant engaged in the
American trade, and made his first
voyage to Virginia when a lad of twelve.
He was delighted with the country, and
at once became an American rather
than an Englishman in feeling. He
made many other voyages, but his
heart was in Virginia, and thither he
returned in 1773. Great events were
on the eve of happening, and, sympa
thizing eagerly with the American reb
els, John Paul, who had by this time
added Jones to bis name, placed his
services as a sailor of ex|*wienoe at the
dis|>osilion of the colonists in 177- r i. He
wa twenty-eight years old, full of
bodily vigor and mental energy, and
with the advantage of having before he
went to sen received a Scotch education
which was far better than that picked
up by moat of the naval officers who
had joined the American rebellion. On
Decernl>er 22, 1775, lie was appointed
first lieutenant of the Alfred, lying ofr
Philadelphia, and it was on board this
little vessel that Paul Jones hoisted
with his own hands the flag of inde
pendent America for the first lime that
it was ever displayed. This flag con
sisted at first of thirteen alternate red
and blue stripes ii|>on a white ground,
and not until many months later were
the stars adder! to the stripes. The
Alfred. In company with the Ilornst
sloop and the Wasp schooner, both
from Maryland, put to see in February,
177t, and after many a bruh with
English vessels, in none of which was
the Alfred worsted, Paul Jones relumed
to the land of his adoption nnd was put
in command of the I'snger. How it
came to pass that in the Ranger he
swooped down upon lord Selkirk's
beautiful country seat U|x>n the coast
of Galloway, and, finding its owner
awsy from home, carried ofr the plate,
which he subsequently returned with a
very chivalrous letter to the Countess of
Selkirk, is well known to Scotchmen.
But the action by which his fame WHS
indestructibly established was fought
on a French vessel—the Bonhomme
Richard—and it is in connection with
this action that attention has been
called anew to a strange and eventful
history. Mr, Walter Stafford North
cote, son and private secretary to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, has just
written to a coteroporary to say that
there now exists a flag—being none
other than the first star-spangled ban
ner ever sent to sea by the United
States—which was preserved from cap
ture by Lieutenant James Bayard Staf
ford in the action between the Serapis
and the Bonhomme Richard off Scar
borough in 1779. We fear, aa we shall
Eresently show, that Mr. Northcote will
ave some difficulty in establishing the
authenticity of the flag in question, but
there can be no doubt that if authentio
it would he a most valuable and inter
esting relic. No sharper action was
ever fought at sea than that in which
the Serapis, carrying forty-one guns of
heavier calibre, tried oonclusions with
the Bonhomme Richard with forty guns,
of which only six were eighteen pound
ers rad the rest little better than field
artillery.
The action commenced at 7 in the
evening of September 23, 1779, and
raged with the greatest intensity by
moonlight for three and a half hours,
the two vessels being locked together
for more than half the time—a device
to which Paul Jonea had reoourse in
order to negative the superior manoeu
vring power of his adversary. Both
vessels were frequently in flames, as
might be expected when the musales of
their guns were actually touching. Mr.
Northcote says that Lieutenant James
Stafford, on board the Bonhomme Rich
ard, preserved her fisg from being cap
tured by the English vessel. Now for
two reasons this can hardly have-hap
pened, In the firat place, the Honhotn
ine Richard was never hoarded by the
Serapis, and secondly, there is among
the list of the officers who fought on
board the American ship no such name
as that of Lieutenant James Bavard
Stafford. By referring to Colonel Sher
burne's "Life of Paul Jones," the second
edition of which was published at New
York in lMjl, Mr. Northcote will find
the names of the Bonhomme Richard's
crew, both officers and men, and in the
archives of the Navy Department at
Washington there is a full catalogue of
the "naval heroes of the Revolution."
Search will he made in vain for the
name of Lieutenant .Stafford in many
j records which are easily accessible ; and
j there are, moreover, inaccuracies in the
story as related briefly by Mr. Northcote
I which can hardly be supported in view
j of the facts given in the exhaustive re
j ports of the action from the pens of
j Captain Jones and of Captain Pearson,
j who commanded tlio Serapis, Such
j was the sense of the stubborn courage
shown by the latter that the British
i Admiralty created him a knight, much
to the amusement of Paul Jones, who
j exclaimed, "Next time I meet him I'll
| make him a lord." But the tradition
j that an old "Star Spangled Banriei"
j preserved reverentially iri the United
States was once carried by the Bon-
I homiue Richard is, we fear, shadowy
j and incapable of being substantiated.
I "'What is truth ?' asked jesting Pilate,
| and would not stay for an answer
j and few who have hud any expesience
■ in human affairs will be fouud to deny
that, like the reputed flag of the Bon
i bom me Richard, facts as represented by
historians are singularly at variance
| with facts as they really happened. M.
I Prosper Merirnee used to say that he
I cared for nothing in history except its
| anecdotes, which he felt to be truer
I than the inferences drawn from them
j by historians. To a similar kind and
j degree of incredulity life, with its un
-1 masking revelations, is apt to reduce
all who can endure what Cowper calls
"the unsupjjortahle fatigue of thought."

Foo< now, CHINA, Dec., 4, 1979.
"Would you like to goto the country
vrith us again?" asked Dr. B. as be
carne in one November afternoon. The
proposal was gladly accepted, and pack
ing a supply of bedding and other nec
essary articles in two Chinese baskets,
just enough for a coolie load, for we
have no baggage wagons here, we pre
pared for an early start that we might
< take advantage of the morning tide. As
we passed out through the gate the sun
was just lighting tip with glery the top
I of old Kushan, our mountain sentinel,
and soon down through the mists of the
valley extended long, rosy lines of light.
At first thestreels seemed almost desert
ed, but as we neared the fish-market we
found it difficult to make our way
through the narrow street and the mass
of burnar. beings, crowding, scolding,
screaming, bargaining, over the baskets
of fish ranged an botii sides.
Before 7 o'clock we stowed away in a
little sampan, and wind and tide and
oars all helped to hasten us on our way.
j Soon afternoon we reached the village
of I-oimpwor, where we were to make
our headquarters. We found the peo
ple in the midst of their rice harvest,
' and more than usually busy. Instead
of the fresh green which was just sprout
ing all over the flooded land when we
saw them seven months ago, was now
the rqjened grain, the sheaves, in the
distance, closely resembling wheat. Here
snd there in the fields stood the native
threshing machines, very simple affairs
| —large square boxes, which a man
could turn over bis head and move from
to place to place at convenience.
Around and above three aides of each
box was fastened a sort of curtain to
protect tbe grain from waste, and over
the edge of the fourth a man beat vio
lently a sheaf of grain letting the ker
nels fall into a box.
This is alow work to be sure, but perse
verence conquers where invention fails.
Along the paths which intersect these
fields we met men carrying, suspended
from each end of a [Kile, a heavy basket
of the threshed grain, which after being
fanned, is poured in almost any level
place upon large atripaof matting, where
men and women wade back and forth
through it, spreading it evenly with
their feet that it may lie dried by the
hot sun. How much the Chinese do
! pend upon their rioe western nations
. can hardlv realize; it is more to them
than bread to us. In its different stages,
it is known by four different name*;
While growing in the field* they call it
leu; after it ia threshed, chioh; the hull
t>eing removed it changes to miand

We croesed the rice plains one even
ing anil climbed the rocky hill side to
gather maiden'a-bair fern* and breathe
the fresh, invigorating air. On the op
posite side of the plain, behind the misty
mountains, the sun whs sinking in a
cloudlessssky. Close beside us a merry
brook was tumbling over the atones, and
very sweet and homelike was the gen
tle musio of iu voice, so of humanity
by which we are so often surrounded
that silence and solitude are rare luxu
ries. Almost everywhere, as we went
among the people, we were cordially re
ceived. tt e sat with them in their
dark, untidy houses, or on the broad,
flat stones outside where they were car
ing for tho grain, and between their cur
ious queetions found opportunity to
weave in the grand truths of redemp
tion through his blood, who came to
bear the burdens of the heavy-laden
and give the weary rest.
We entered a house one day at tbe
invitation of its occupant. Quite near
the door stood a bedstead, and between
it and the wall she led us through a
narrow passage to another room. In
this passage way lay stretched at bis
ease a Urge black pig. He seemed an
noyed at the unusual commotion,and a
little inolined to dispute our right to
thua disturb his slumbers, but before he
had decided what course to pursue, we
crowded past him and went on our way.
One can become accustomed to almost
anything.
As vfc approached n house a I'ttlnout
side the village one morning, we caught
sight of a bridal chair, u sedan covered
with bright red cloth and heavily orna
mented. In the yard befoie the house
were perhaps a hundred neople, most of
them sealed at little tables and partak
ing of the wedding feast. We declined
! their invitation to eat with them, and
j went our way, as the bride had not ftr-
I rived, the chair being prepared to send
j to her home some miles distant, whence
she was to be brought on the following
j duy.
in the afternoon wo saw the bride
| groom preceded by a boy beating a gong,
on bis way to sacrifice to the "mother
goddess" and thank her for preserving
him from childhood to his wedding day.
We called at the house again after the
bride's arrival and found large numbers
of guests still there. The festivities
continue several days, and the ceremo
ny of marriage embraces various forms,
worshiping the parents, the tablets of
' deceased ancestors, heaven and earth,
j c. In the darkest corner of the room,
at the foot of the bed, stood the bride
!.dressed in gay colors of bright red cloth,
with beautiful flowers and ornaments in
her hair. I'oor little girl! she looked
j hardly more than fifteen years of age.
but such a sad and frightened face,
; made our hearts ache for her, alooe
> among strangers, all unconscious of
j what her future might bting.
<)h, these cruel heathen marriage cus
toms of China ! Betrothed often in
early childhood, or paid for, a few years
later, according to her personal beauty
' or the smallness of her feet, perhaps
| never seeing her husband till the mur
raige day, oh, what anxious foreboding*
i must fill the mind of a Chinese girl! The
j mother in law often rules the household
! with a rod of iron, and the husband
| may, if dissatisfied witli his wife, sellher,
• or if able to up]>ort two, force her to
yield her place to a stranger. And
| only so far as the Gospel remolds the
hearts of this people will these heathen
customs give way. God grant that the
day, so slowly dawning, may soon break
in midday brightness upon these our
brothers and sisters, the millions of
China.
Rousted to Death by the Sun,
From lh Wil li Tel'-graj'li. .
Dr. Schweinfurth, in a lecture which
he recently delivered at the Berlin Geo
graphical Society on the subject of bis
latest explorations in Central Africa,
gave his hearers a thrilling account of
the mode in which capital punishment
is inflicted upon criminals by the Al-
Quadjis, a small tributary offshoot of
the great and powerful Djour people.
| The malefactor condemned to die is
j bound to a post firmly driven into the
ground in some open place where no
trees afford a shade, and is there slow
ly roasted to death—not by any artiflc
ial means involving u waste of fuel, but
I bv the natural heat of the sun's rays as
they reach our earth in its equatorial
regions. To protract his sufferings
and to avert his too speedy end by sun
stroke, the ingenious Al Quadjis cover
their erring compatriot's heud with fresh
green leaves, which effectually shield
his brain from Phiebus' darts. Xo
such protection is, however, accorded
to his body, which gradually dries up,
shrinks together and ultimately be
comes carbonized. One chance of sal
vation is open to the roasting man,
while as yet he is not completely "done
to death." If a cloud pass between the
sun and his place of torment he is at
once cast loose from his post and be
comes the object of popular reverence,
as a mighty magician in whose behalf
the supernatural powers have deigned
directly to intervene. But clouds sel
dom interfere with the administration
of justice on the day chosen for public
executions by the Al Quadji authorities;
at least that appears to be Dr. Schwein
; birth's experience of African weather a*
far as it bears upon the judicial roasting
| of malefactors.
