Sir During your absence, on cruise
to the Mediterranean. the case of Captain
isaac Phillips has been submitted to the
constituted authorities the country, claim
ing his rank III the Navy of the U. States,
and TO be rc-instated in command; the ma
ture of the application necessarily caused an
investigation into the management OF the at
fairs Of the Navy Department for many
years back, and one Of the grounds upon
which Captain Phillips justified the propri.
cty Of his application was. that he was lille
gally dismissed by Mr. Secretary Stoddart,
and without the order of the President of
the United States; and by references to the
books Q. the Navy Department, brings into
view the case of Yourself, who had been le-
gally dismissed by the President, as is stat
cd in letter Of Mr.. Robert Smith of the
22d October, 1901, directed to YOU, and re-
corded on the books of the Navy Depart
i,
you were again taken into the service, with
in or about twelve months after. Now Sir,
as the case of your dismission, must become
:; subject Of consideration, and affect the
rank of the Captains in the Naval service,
and as many reflections and observations
have been made through the public prints
of the nation, not only as respects the lille
gality of the commission you hold, but in re-
spect to your individual department, and
unjustifahlc treatment subordinatcs under
your command, it appears to have become
very necessary, to quiet the minds of the
naval officers and others, who have taker
exceptions to your conduct, that you une.
quivocalv declare 7chether yon did, or did
not, receive that letter of dismission, record
ed on the Navy books, and dated the 22t
October, Holland fso, did you receive
new commission, or were you again reap
pointed to the service. 1t is by many alledg
ed that you did receive that letter, and tina
you were thereby. decidedly removed from
the service, under the law of the Sd o
March, 1901. reducing the Navy the peac
, ablishment--newspaper paragraphs hav
asserted there is no doubt Of it, ard that cir
! cumstanccs can be traced, and living wit
nesses produced, to establish the fact an
further, that your letter of dismission wa
! in consequence OF your having cruelty beat
with your fist, and MANNED a young gentle
man, midshipman, on board the U. State
d ship Maryland, under your command, an
i that he and his friends made an applicatio
: to Mr.. Robert Smith, the then Secretary
{ the Navy, to have you brought to trial. an
. that you escaped the Court Martial, by
u dismission from the service; it is therefor
incumbent upon you, as it is due to the N;

SIR JONAH BARRINGTON'S SKETCHES.
Among the early adventures of the author

we are tempted to extract. An entertain

house-warming to a new hunting lodge, and

sportsmen," counted among them Captain

INTERCOURSE OF THE SEXES.

What makes those men, associate habit
ua'ly with women, superior to others
What makes that woman, who is accus-
toned TO, and at ease III the company OF
men, superior 10 her sex in general 7
Why are women Of France so univer-.
sally admired and loved, for their COLO
quial powers' Solely because they are
in the habit Of free, graceful and contin-
ual conversation with the other SEX
Women in this way lose their frivolity;
their faculties awaken; their dclicacies
and pecu'iari;ies unfold all their beauty
and ceptivation in the spirit Of intellect
ual rivalry. And the men lose their Pc
dantic, rude, declamatory, or sullen man.
ncr. The coin Of the understanding
and the heart is inierchangcd continual
ly. Their asperities are rubbed off,
their better materials polished and bright
encd, and their richness like fine gold, is
wrought into finer workmanship, by the
fingers Of woman, than it ever could by
those of men. The iron and steel of
character ure hidden, like the harness
and armour ofa gia.t, in studs and knobs
Of gold and precious stone, when not
wanted IN actual warfare.

RECOILECTIONS.

they gave me, but those few have been
of more use tc me than volumes Of stud
led lectures on morality. Among these
admonitions was one from my moihcr---
Beware of intemperance (which as
tonIshed ME. Surely, thought, that eau
ton is unnecessary. My tender parent
probably saw surprise in my Connte-
nance, for she added, you may think
there is no fear of this sin but it is in

lection Of the almost offended manner
in which received the caution, has come

that, had it not been given, the ruin OF
that fatal sin might have been mine. OF.

In making this disposition, the subscriber
has been actuaied by due regard TO the inter-

from wish 10 give the most extensive use TO

Inc Astonishing success which this remedy
has obtained in restoring habitual incbrates TO
sobriety, has established its virtues beyond all
contradiction, and supersedes the necessity of
any further comment
The remedy is as innocent as it is cfcctual;
so much so, that II is often given 10 children in
tebrllc complaints, and frequently used as
family medicine for Dyspepsia, Sc All that
is required, to ensure It's specific effect is to
abide strictly by the directions. 1t is put up
in packages sufficient for one individual C. re-.
and accompanied with ample directions for its
use, signed in the handwriting of the subscri-
bers, without which none are genuine. We are
induced to adopt this measure, as in conse-
qnence of the great celebrity which DR.. Cham-
