ONE NOVEL INCIDENT OF THE NAVAL
WAR OF 1812.
How .' Voeal rnnlrnt Btiff
Batch of Yankee Prisoner and a
British t'renr Ended Jlnlar of Itoll
Ust Bho ronlahment.
"I have been In a number of full
Oedged naval notions myself and in
many more BcrlniuinKos," nlil ven
erable man-of-war' man tlie oilier
day, "so I am entitled to know some
thing about the subject, but I am five
to confess that the strangest Unlit on
the high eea I ever heard about was j
one in which my father took part when
be wa a prisoner In the Wnr of 1S12.
My father when a young man enlisted
on the American privateer 1'rln.e tie
Neufchatel, which, na you may know,
wa one of the most famous prlvntoers
in our second war BKiilnst Grout ltrit
atn and which was finally run down '
and captured by tbreo of the biggest of j
the British war frigates.
"The crew of the Prince do, Neuf- !
chatel was divided Into three batches, !
my father being In the one that was l
placed aboard the Lenndor, Sir George's
flagship. After being relieved of nil
their baggage the prisoners were stow-
ed away In the stuffy cable tier. As '
the squadron was several weeks from j
It destination and the prisoners wero
allowed to come up on deck only for
few hours each day, the problem of
killing time was a serious one. How
some of It was 'killed' my father's
own words, as set down in his diury as
follows, will tell: j
" 'Many of the flint hours each night I
were spent in story telling, Hinging or j
"rigging" one another, all joining in to j
help pass the burdensome hours. The i
lnging was made up of such souks us I
seamen generally learn by heart, but I
In our case most of the songs were
commemorative of our recent naval .
victories over the English.
" 'One night It was understood that
our naval songs were not relished by
the officers in the British frigate. This
only brought about others with n loud
er chorus and an extra hurrah for Yan
kee thunder. In order to stop the an
noyance the English picked out half a
dozen of their best singers on board
tho Leandor, who wero bucked by sev
eral dozen shipmates to Join In the
choruses. Thoy stationed themselves
round the open hatchway, over our
bead and began singing patriotic Eng
lish naval songs.
"'We allowed them to finish their
songs, when we struck up with one in
opposition extolling tho glories of tho
Tankce navy, each one of us striving
to outdo bis shipmate, especially in the
chorus. Knowing that tho character of
our country was nt stake and that it
depended much upon our management
and zeal whether It should be upheld
In the face of our enemies, wo strove
accordingly 10 ao our Dust as its repre
sentatives. The contest wns kept up
for some time, evidently to our advan
tage not only in tho quality of the sing
ing, for in this our opponents could
not hold their own for a moment, but
at to the number and variety of tho
ongs, they having run out ofthclr vic
tories over the Tankees before our par
ty was fairly warmed up to the fight.
"That they might not flag in tho
contest they took up the songs, "The
Firt of June," "Bnttlo of the Nile,"
besides many others in which we felt
not the least national interest, nnd wc
did not fall giving them the hint In
plain English that they were dodging
the issue as first agreed upon. This
they cared far less for than they did
for the borne thrust victory over them
from the Tankees to each one of theirs
over the French and Spanish.
" 'At last our fire became so warm
that they were compelled to bach out
of the contest, chopfallen. And they
bad the satisfaction of having their
defeat announced to all on board by
three tlmos three cheers, accompanied
by handclapplng and such other noises
as each one of us could Invent. Word
. bow came from tho deck that such
, noise could not be tolerated and that
we must be quiet. This only aroused
the prisoners to greater exertions, mak
ing what was singing before yelling
now, a discordant as sixty loud
..throats could make them, euch tuned
. mpon a key peculiarly his own.
"'In a few minutes the officer of the
, deck came down and with must blus
tering and many threats declared that
If order was not maintained resort
would be had to unpleasant means. If
the most savage tribe of Indians bud
at once brokon loose in a terrific war
whoop it could not have been louder
than the yells of defiance that came
from the prisoner on the conclusion
of this officer's speech. Ho then tried
to reason on the absurdity of prisoners
persisting in the unequal contest, say
ing that "the order of the Bhlp must
and shall be maintained, if by no
. other mean, I will order the marines
to fire into the hold, and when too late
you will learn your folly 1"
" 'Had this advice been tendered pre
viously to the threatenlngs it might
have had the desired effect. But it
nvas now too late. Advice and threat
were alike thrown back with the ut
most scorn and contempt. One big,
brawny Yankee who was standing
near the opening on the termination of
the officer's hint threat yellod out:
""Crack away, my Johnny. Xou
can make killing no murder, but you
can't so easily mend the shot boles in
your cables!"
" 'It will be remembered that we
were in the cable tier, the great colls
4f rope being stowed in the bottom of
the compartment, leaving only a little
room for the prisoner. If tho marines
fired many of the cables would be ru
ined, and the officers would be obliged
to explain matters to the admiralty.
H ' "If be mend his manners he'll
tuve task enough without troubling
himself nbo'tf cables," said another
prisoner.
Walt until yon fall In with tho
Constitution, arid you will learn some
thing about firing."
Hurrah for Old Ironsides!"
i Three cheers for the gallant Ter
ry!" " 'Many such expressions came from
the prisoners, so the nllleer wns com
pelled to retire In dlscomflture, his re
treat being greeted by nine hearty
cheers. I
'"I expected unpleasant consequence .
to follow Immediately nfter Ills leaving .
the hatchway, as indeed Old all the .
prisoners whose mail excitement left
them sense enough for a sober thought.
But we were not disturbed for the re- .
nininOer of that night. The sluclng
and shouting were kept up until day- ;
break, not allowing the wnrdroom olll- '
corn n moment's rest, ns thoy were sit- j
tinted on the dock Immediately above
ns. We were told on the next day that
we would be provided for If we per- j
sisted In disturbing the ship's eompa
ny in their rest.
"'Nothing daunted by this threat,'
the prisoners hountt their singing on ,
the following night as before. Tho
songs and choruses had gone on for
two hours or more without any notice
being taken of our proceedings when
all nt once a dozen shots of tin largest j
size In the frigate (forty-four pounders)
were lot loose on the deck ubove us
ami left free to roll with the motion of
the ship the livelong night. Scantling
was so Ilxed on the dock ns to routine
the area of their rolling to tho spneo
directly over our heads.
'"As the shot passed from one sldo
to the other nt each roll of the frigate
they caused a low, harsh, tlitimlci like
rumbling, as deafening, ns dreadful
ns and more horrible than the booming
of 10,110 Chinese gongs Intermingled
with as ninny bell clappers. They
were brought suddenly to n standstill
when coming to the scantling and with
n Jar and noise but little loss than tho
discharge of small artillery.
"'In this there was no variation, ex
cept us they came In contuct with euch
other, when the sharp snap of the balls
meeting was enough to split the brains
of us who wore underneath with the
advantage of the planks Immediately
above our heads to convey nnd magni
fy the rumbling noise us a sounding
board a hundredfold.
" '.Many of us were determined to
brave it out nnd let those on deck
know that thoy still had the same par
ty to ileal with. Some Btrovo hard to
keep up the singing, but the power of
cold shot was greater. Some Jeered,
laughed and Joked, but tho rolling
shot were Impervious to nil such In
ducements to quit their noise. Some
swore, raved nnd cursed, lint tho shot
went booming on stupidly, dead to
every alluring blandishment or impre
cation. Some hallooed, yelled nnd
whooped. On came tho shot, doggedly
indifferent to it all. Some blustered,
threatened and stormed. Still rolled on
the nhot ns stoically unconcerned a If
it wero their legitimate employment.
Some sighed, groaned nnd roared.
Itumble-ile-bump wont on the shot, ut
terly regardless of tho throbbing ear
drums mid twitching nerves of the
sufferers below.
" 'The singers, the Jokers, tho sneer
crs, the whoopers, the stormers nnd
the roarers ono by one dropped off till
nil In the cable tier wero silenced. Fi
nally not one sound was to bo heard
save that caused by those dull, heavy
messengers of mortal anguish which
kept on rolling their unceasing rounds,
thereby creating torments fit only for
the damned, I "have read somewhero
that the greatest physical punishment
yet put upon the human frunie Is that
of being placed in a confined position
where water was slowly but constant
ly dripping, drop upon drop, upon the
bare head of the victim. But I am
sure tho originator of this assertion
could never have been In the situation
we wero In that night, with those shot
rolling on tho deck so close to our
heads that wc could scarcely sit in nn
upright position.
" 'Ever nfter this if we continued
our songs Inter than 10 o'clock the shot
were set rolling nnd censed not until
the songs were bushed. The shot were
nn accompaniment neither agreeable,
to the performers nor melting to the
bearers nnd which we were glud to dis
pense with even at the expense of los
ing the reputation we hud so fearless
ly ciirned by tho display of our vocal
tulent under tho very thunder of Eng
land's heuvlest armament, whose deaf
ening roar wus only equaled by its

It has often been uld that Whistler'

son of the evasion was reverence. He
kept himself reverently at a distance.
He knew how much he could not do,
nor was ho ever confident even of the
things thut he could do, and these
things, therefore, he did superlatively
well, having to grope for the means in
tho recesses of his soul. The particu
lar quullty of exqulslteness und fresh
ness that gives to all his work, wheth

a distinction from and ubove any con

THE CUNNING FOX.
Indian Left-end of Whr Ha la Hate
hr he Wolf.
The wolf hates the fox. According
to the Iroquois Indians, this Is why:
One cold, wintry day a fox who was
prowling about looking to see where
he might steal bis dinner saw a wagon
coming. It wns loaded with fish and ,
wns driven by some fishermen who
were taking home their day' catch.
"Ah, ha!" suit! tho cunning fox. "Here .
comes my dinner." And he fell down j
nnd pretended to he dead. The fisher-
men, seeing him, picked 111 m up nnd '
threw him into the wugoo among the
flail. Then the fox slyly threw out some
ilsh and when tho llshormon were not ,
looking Jumped olT himself ami made
oft with the Ilsh ho had thrown out
I'retty soon afterward he met a wolf,
who said, "I niu hungry, and I guess I
will eat you for my dinner." But ho
fox said, "Would you rather not hnve
HhIi for dinner?" The wolf replied that
on tho whole he thought he would pre
fer fish. Thou the cunning fox told
him of the trick by which he had Just
got his own dinner nnd advised him to
try it. The wolf was pleased with the
idea, so he ran through the woolls and
headed off the team which the fisher
men were driving, falling down In the
roail before it and pretending to be
dead. But the fishermen, who had by i
this time discovered the trick tho fox
had played upon them, Instead of tak- j
lug him Into tho wagon, beat him with
clubs so that he barely escaped with I
his life. And on n hillside near by sat
the fox, who laughed and laughed.
LIGHT WAVES.
Different Klnila Brooicht Into Con
Jnnetloit Produce Dnrkneaa,
Every light wave, ns a wave of the
sea, consists of two portions, In one of
which the water Is lifted above the
general average level of the surround
ing ocean nf.d In the other Is depressed
below it. These two portions form tho
"crest" and the "trough" of tho wave
respectively.
If two or more sets of waves nre
caused to traverse the same surface,
ns by dropping stones into still water,
for Instance, a complicated network of
ripples is produced. At certain points
the crest of one wave will coincide
with the crest of another, nnd the two
will combine to form one crest of dou
ble the height, tho trough also being
twlco the depth.
At other points the crest of one wave
will fall on the trough of another, nnd
as the same particles of wnter aro
called upon by equal forces to move In
opposite directions nt the same time
they will remain stationary, and the
surface will not bo disturbed at those
points.
Similarly, as light consists of waves
In the ether, It hns been shown by
Tresnel thnt if ono ray bo caused to
fall half a wave length behind another
the troughs of one set of waves will
combine with the crests of the other set
to neutralize one another, so produc
ing still ether, or dark patches, at those
particular points In the midst of tho
surrounding light.
A Helpful Spirit.
There hud at first been six name on
the list of candidates to be sent by
popular vote from the little seaport
town to the groat fair, but gradually
the list had dwindled, for two of the
candidates went so fnr ahead of all
the otheas that It became a farce to re
tain the other numes.
It was when affairs had been at this
point for three weeks, and within
twenty-four hours of the time set for
counting the last votes, thut Miss Mat
tlo I law ley met one of the candidates
on tho street.
"I don't know what to do," suid Miss
Mattie with a distressed look In her
eyes. "I want you to go, and I want
her to go, so at last I bethought mo
how I could help you both. So I went
Into Jones' and bought ten dozen cakes
of soup and put half the coupons In
for you and half for her." Youth's

Spreading- Gloom.
No accusation Is commoner among

Abraham Lincoln's belief that young

following letter written to William II,
Ilerudou, then nt Washington, under
date of June 22, 1848:
As to young men. You munt not wn.lt
to be brought forward by the older men.
For liiMunce, do you siuipoNo that I

MUSHROOMS ON TREES.
The Method lir Which Ther Are Cul
tivated lu Japan. j
Mushrooms grown ou trees form (
quito nn Important article of export
from Japan to China. Hhlkoku Island, ,
where much camphor Is produced, Is 1
the chief home of this Industry. The
method employed Is ns follows: Oak I
trees about thirty years old are felled '
In tho autumn, aud incisions are mado i
with axes at intervals of three or four
inches. The trees are then cut Into
logs four or five feet long and nre left
In dark, secluded parts of the forest.
After three yours mushrooms make
their appearance In the incised por- j
turns, ami when the crop shows signs
of growing thin fresh logs nro provld-
ed. Those mushrooms will grow at :
every season of the year, but In win- I
ter nnd spring urttllclnl stimulus Is
needed, which Is supplied by sleeping I
the logs in water and striking them
with mallets or axes to prepare the
beds and facilitate the growth. Tho ,
autumn crop is the largest. The mush
rooms after being collected are dried
by the sun or by nrtlllcial heat.

TWO BIT8 OF LUCK.
Sn Incident la Which tae Ooa4 Met
Bad Traalrallr sUaed.
The late Senator Vest of Missouri
used to tell a story of good luck and
hard luck without a counterpart, ac
cording to the Buffalo Commercial.
One day, while he wa a member of
the Confederate congress, he lost a
month's pay somewhere on the streets
of Itlehmond. Just a tho woman in
Scripture who lost n piece of silver
called together her friend and neigh'
bors and sought diligently until she
found It, he called hi friends and
went with theui on what seemed a
hopeless search through the enow cov
ered, dimly lighted street of Illch
niond. The chances were a thousand
to one against success. "We hadn't
been out fifteen minutes when a young
lieutenant In our party stooped down
and picked up my lost roll. I wa In
high glen nnd wanted to treat We
wore piloted to a cafe which, pending
some repairs, had a ladder of about a
dozen rungs Instead of stairs. We all
climbed up, considering It a great lark,
all the while talking about what a
lucky fellow the young lieutenant was
aud predicting great things for him.
A we climbed down again the young
lieutenant fell from the ladder and
broke his ueok."
GUILDS OF THIEVES.
Oraanlaed Bodies In China Thnt
Thrive on Fees.
China I the country of guilds, and
tho guild of thieves In any district
might almost be described as a recog
nized body. It Is treated with by all
householders until It has become a
kind of Insurance agency against theft.
All gatekeepers and night watchmen
pay a small monthly fee to this guild
lu order that no thieving may take
place on tho premise over which they
have control. Then if anything docs
go wrong It will be due to a free lance
who would bo promptly murdered If
captured by tho guild thieves them
selves. A recent writer' on China states that
a friend of his who employ many
hundreds of coolies pays a regular
monthly salary to the bead of the
thieves In that district The man
comes to the office on pay days like
other employees to draw bis wages.
If, however, anything has been missed
from the factory during the month the
value of it is deducted from his salary
until the article I restored, which I

KAFFIRS AND SNUFF.
A Grave Breach of Manners to Take
Pinch Standing I' p.
In South Africa among the Kaffir
snuff taking Is universal, and It Is a
grave breach of manner to ask your
host for a plucb when you are standing-
up.
The rcasou for this Is found In the
treacherous practices of former times.
When one man wished to kill another
a fuvorlte device wa to ask blm for
a pinch of snuff, nnd then, while the
unsuspecting victim wu fumbling for
bis snuffbox, the murderer bad a splen
did opportunity. A this trick for tak
ing a inun nt a disadvantage became
familiar It naturally grew to be a point
of good manners to make your request
when squuttlng on the ground, when
cleurly you were intending no evil.
The Kaffir snuff is mado from crude
tobacco grown at every kraal, which
Is powdered up and mixed with the ash
of the aloe, carefully ground on a stone
aud dumped. It Is always etiquette
to ask for suuff, and the donor grant
your request grudgingly, lest be should
be suspected of pressing upon you be
witching medicine with it
