The few public cruisers which remain ed after that costly conflict were sold. and when the Doy of Algiers began to prey upon American commerce, the In fant nation wn. for the moment, pow erless to protect Its own. This led Washington to urge the creation of n naval force; Congress In 17S4 voted money to build six frigates, the Consti tution. President. United States. Chw npcake. Constellation and Congress. aad on April ao, 17&S, the present de partment was formally created. Prom the llrst the navy confirmed the wisdom of Its crentors. Early In 1700. the Constellation we then had n little misunderstanding with Krnuce fought and captured the Insurgent In West 'Indian waters, and late In 1803 a wiundron of four vessels was sent to protect American rights and honor In the Mediterranean. The frigate Phila delphia, under Capt. lialubrldge. cap tared a Moorish privateer, but ran aground In the harbor of Tripoli, and the officer were made prisoners of war. Stephen Decatur, then a young JAMES I.AWIir.NCE. VTfco d!J shntulru, "Don't hu up tho ship." lieutenant, proposed to tho commander of the fleet to put a crew on board a Trlpolitun ketch that had just been captured, enter the harbor at night, nud rescue or burn tho Philadelphia. This was ilono on Feb. 10, 1SOJ. The tiny Tripoli tail vessel stole quietly to tho aide of the captured frigate, and Ie atur and his men recaptured her In ten ailnutt-H. Hut as It was Impossible to movc her, she was tired, and Decatur cacaped Into the open sea without tho loaof a man. Tba navy's part In tho war of 1812 waa a glorious one. ' At the outset of that war Great Hrltalu had 1.048 ships, carrying 27,800 guns and 151,572 offl sera and men. The United States, on che other baud, had but seventeen hlpt. carrying -142 guns nml 5,025 offl cera and men. Yet at the end of tho trugsle, which lasted less than three years, the little American navy had for the time swept tho British mercantllo ajarlno 'from tho sens, capturing up wards of 1,500 vessels, on board of which wore more than 20,000 Urltlsh aenincn. This Is n record without parallel, and tt quickens tho pulse to read how In Its making the frigate Constitution, commanded In turn by Isaac Hull, Will lam Balnbrldgo and "Old Ironsides" Stewart, .captured tho Guerrlero nud oLtVEU rEiinv.

On the Chlrstmas Immediately preced ing the death of his father he wrote a letter to a friend three thottand miles away. 1 have no right to make this let-ter-publlc. but shall Ih forgiven for this much: the writer dwelt earnestly upon the year that was closing, and particu larly referred to the problems of the future, little dreaming that bo was the one who would be called upon to assist In their solution. In this letter he con fessed that the ambition of bis life wns to Improve the condition of tho working people, to reconcile the rasping conflict between those who have and those who hate not. nml, above all, to make tho Christian religion n real thing. He went on Jokingly to lament that some of our American millionaires did not see fit to leave him legacies for this purpose; for he was. he said, always hampered for want of necessary funds, THE AUTHOR OF "QUO VADIS." Knallsh Writers. In the Century Jeremiah Curtln, tho translator of "Quo Vndls." has n no- per entitled "An Acquaintance with SlenkUMtlcz." Mr. Curtln says: Slen klowlcz expressed himself nt some length on English literature nud art. I give his own words: "Of English novelists 1 like Dickens best. His 'David Copperileld' seems to me nearer genuine human nature than any other English production of the century. Dickens derived Immense pleasure from the people whom he de scribed; he had n true nnd vivid ap preciation of unusual characters. In literature 8hakspearc stands npnrl. His knowledge of man seems to me nlmost superhuman. I nm amazed at his in sight nnd truthful vision, especially when I compare him with other writ ers. Scott had a power of narration that wns really phenomenal, but thero Is much In his novels that Is not true; not Infrequently he ornnmented In hit own way-beautified, as he thought His account of the chivalry nnd knight-, hood of tho ndddlc nges does not cor respond nt nit with reality. Still, bo wns a wonderful writer. Thackeray was a great novelist, but to mo ho has always seemed enthralled more or less by society, mastered by It In n degree, hence Injured ns on artist. Tennyson used beautiful langunge, but he was artificial; be was the poet, not of hu inanity, but of n class, nnd devotion to n class always enfeebles nn author. Of recent Englishmen, Kipling stands mono ns a writer of short stories. Du Maurier wns very much of nn artist by nature. In 'Trilby' his description of Pnrlslan nrtlst life Is line; but the book, though entertaining, Is too fan tastlc; the end especially is unreal be yond measure, ns Is, of course, tho hypnotism. Kldcr Haggard I know to the extent of one novel, 'She.' which I read lu Eastern Africa. Though very extensive, English literature Is weak in one kind of mental creation, in which It Is not likely to bo strengthen-ed-tho fable. In this Held tho Rub. sinus have surpassed all Europe; their Kryloff Is the greatest fabulist of niod cru times." SPANISH PUNCTILIO. Amusing l'hase of Castlllan Character Kxhlblted by a Cabinet Crisis. The Cabinet crisis which took place lu Splau lu 1888 exhibits uu amusing phase of Spanish character. The minis terial crisis had existed almost a year, when the resignation of the Cabinet took place us the result of u trivial question of military etiquette. Th Queen had left Madrid foruu excursion to Valencia, which the Minister of Jus tice Insisted on her making, according to the published urrnngemuut, lest the postponement should bo construed ai u sign of fear of the Zorllllst republi cans, who had convoked a muss meet ing lu tho some city, Tho Iufauta Isa lel, who was left to represent her, de cided to take a journey also, and In formed Geueral Martinez Campos that her sister, the Infanta Euialle, would give out tho military watchword. The military governor of Madrid replied that tho married Infanta wns not legal ly competent to perform that office, and that It was Impossible, nccordlng ta military rules, for him to receive the parole from her husband, Prlnco An toulo, Due de Montpenslcr, who was only a captain In rank. Tho Minister of War, who was not on good terms with tho captain general, sent a brusque telegram ordering him to receive tho password from the Princess Euialle, whereupon General Campos offered hit resignation. All attempts to settle the quarrel failed, and, ns n majority of tho Cabinet sided with the captain general, General Cassola and tho ministers who had supported his view resigned their portfolios. Senor Sagastn handed In the resignation of the entire Cabinet to tho Queen Ilegent, but subsequently, upon the Inter's request, formed a new ministry. Tallest of Troon. In Now South Wales, Victoria nnd Tasmania grows a species of guni-treo Eucalyptus amygdallua Is Its scien tific name which, Sir I von Mueller says, probably represents "the tallest of all trees of tho globe." Tho loftiest specimen of this tree yet measured tow ers to the height of 471 feet. A prostrate tree, measured In Victoria, was 420 feet long, and tho distance from the roots to tho lowest branch was 20."j feet. At that point tho trunk wns four feet lu diameter, and 300 feet from thu butt tho diameter was still threo feet.

Grant, keeper of the United Stntes lighthouse department storehouse on Central Wharf, recalls au interesting anecdote that is particu larly appropriate at this time, nnd goes to show the stuff of which tho Ameri can navy Is composed. Captain Grant is a brother of William G. Grant, tho keener of the llclit on Mutlnlrti. tintr. and of the later tells this story: It was back in 1804, and Commodore Dewey was then pxnontlm offlnnr "nn board the United States vessel Color- uuo. v imam urant was a seaman on the same ship, and is naturally well Posted as to our trnllnnt mmmmlnrii'i lighting qualities. The Colorado waa steaming into Hampton Reads, va,, tOWing a lame boatload of aallnr ro. latcs the Portland (Me.) Express. it was a windy day and tho ware were running high. In some manner the boat capsized, and in a moment ev cry one was stniffstinir In thn wir All but one, however, succeeded In get ting on Its bottom. One sailor who could not swjni sank to the bottom. A boat was at onco lowered from tho Col orado, William Grant being one of the men assigned to it. Tho men rowed with a will, and Boon reached tho overturned boat and the sailors clinging to Its bottom. They hnd so much headway that tho boat shot over the placo where tho unfortu nate went down. Mr. Grant wns in ths bow keeping a sharp lookout for him when ho came to the surface. As tho ttoat moved along ho looked down into tho water, which was clear, and plainly saw the man near tho surface. L-Iko a flash, he scrambled to tho stern of the boat, and, without hesitating a second, dived over tho coxswain's head for tbt drowning man. He calculated Just right, and In a moment had him by the collar and succeeded In bringing him to the surface. Both men were taken Into the boat, and after hard work th half-drowned Bailor waa revived. H owed his llfo to Mr. Grant's bravery and prompt action. Tho next day Dewey, an executive of flccr, called Mr. Grant up on to tot quarterdeck, and before every om thanked him cordially for his bravery In rescuing the sailor. A few years ago when Dewey, then commodore, visited tho Maine coast and called upon Mr. Grant at Matinl cus, tho Incident was recalled, and a long talk was enjoyed by tho men, Commodore Dewey recalled tho matte? Instantly and again complimented Mr, Grant. AN ASTONISHING FEAT. At a Distance of 20 Feet a Toana Rlls Phot Does Marveloaa Hhootlng. Adolph Toepperwcln, San Antonio's marvelous young rltlo shot, has Just performed another of his astonishing feats. The accompanying cut shows what manner of feat It was. With a 22-calIbcr rlflo be stood at a dlstnnct of twenty feet from a double thickness ot heavy paper, about threo feet long by two wide, and shot on It tho out lines of an Indian's head. It took ox nctly 152 shots to do tho trick. It was free-hand drawing, as tho figure was not traced on tho paper boforehand. This mnde tho feat especially difficult, ns "Tep" had to placo every shot with reference to where Its predecessor had gone and where all the following shots were to go. In other words, ho had to havo every detail of the "drawing" INDIAN'S IIKAD DRAWN WITH flCLLKTS. planned out and constantly In his mind's cyo while ho was shooting. One shot fired a fraction of an Inch wild would have spoiled the whole picture. Names Assumed by Royalty.

The Philippine Islands lie along the great belt of volcanic activity which ex tends from Japan to tho Moluccas, says the Scientific American. Earthquakes, tho usual accompaniment of volcanic activity, aro too common to the Philip pines to be remarkable, unless they tumble one's house about his cars. The sTii.t. snows its ixjcnr. light, baskct-llko dwellings of thn tin tlvcs, perched upon posts, sway about like cradles during these strange move ments of tho earth, and are often thrown out of perpendicular, but are rarely destroyed. Tho stone buildings of the Spanish, though usually built of light volcanic rock, or of coral, nnd with thick walls and low stories nnd projecting buttresses, to protect them from earthquakes, ore frequently thrown down. Spanish Manila, the old walled town, tho only city In tho archi pelago built of stone, has suffered most, nnd some of tho streets nro still blocked by the ruins of tho great earthquake of 1SS0. in 1803 tho city wns nearly destroyed, and nt frequent Intervals since Its foundation It has suffered loss of llfo and property.

The largest barrel In Georgia Is locat ed at Baldwin, a small town on the Southern Railway. Baldwin Is Just In side tho Banks County line, which Is a wet county, and, therefore, this large barrel Is used ns a bar-room and la known all over tills section as "The Barrel." Its size Is twenty-two feet long and sixteen feet in diameter, and If used as a barrel nrnnir wnuM tmM about 40,000 gallons. It Is so construct ed ns to uavo n first nnd a second stor.r, but the second story has not yet been completed. Mr. Henry Egll, one of the builders of this barrel, planned and designed tt himself, and says that ho thought of It soven or eight years ago, but had never had any Inducement to build it, and when tho town of Baldtvlu gavo him two central Iota 50x75 feet each to build It In their town he then, with this as an Inducement, began tho work and erect ed the barrel on one of theso lots. Ho Is the owner of tho barrel, but not ot the saloon. Mr. Egll has Inherited tho trade of a cooper, his father beforo him belonging to this class of workmen. Ho has built qulto a number of very largo tubs and barrels all over that part ot tho State. Gipsy Dancing Girls or Seville.

Tho hotel-keepers In Sovlllo nro generally very careful to Introduce their patrons only to gardens whoro the Bowdlerized editions of tho dance are performed; but I commend to thoso who think they can "sit It out" the archaic versions which nre danced naturally to-day, as they were In the days of tho Caesars, by llght-llmbed enchalners of Warts, and llnmeuca girls with brown skins and checls that aro soft like tho side of tho peach which Is turned to tho ripening sun; nnd in their dnrk, lustrous eyes you read ns plain ns print tho story of tho sorrows nnd tho joys of n thousand years of liv ing.
