CAPE COTTAGE.
BY J. NEAL

Hurrah fol Cape Cottage, hurrah!
Hurrah for sight Of the Sea!
Hurrah for the girls that are found there:
Hurrah for the rocks that abound there
With perch weighing more than pound there!
HuTrah for the wind blowing free!
Bend, brothers, bend, with all your might!
Stretch forward keep her to it!
Lo, the dark surges flashing bright!
Lo, the blue waters tumbling white!
Hurrah, boys! drive her through 1t!
Hurrah for Cape Cottage, hurrah!
Hurrah for the hedges of roses
Hurrah for the trees and the flowers,
The berries and blossoming showers,
Sea serpents and pearls,
The boys and the girls,
And the beach where old Ocean reposes.
[good cape
There's the "Cape of Good Hope" and the hope o.
To comfort the man of the Sea- T'CaPe Fear,
There's the frghtful "Cape Horn" for the married
And the nice little cape that belongs to my dear
OF tissue so thin that they call it 'Cape Clear
The last to be doubled by me.
There's Cape Cod and Cape Anne
Bless your soul, what ttspan''-
Cape Lookout and Haiteras too
And the Capes of Virginia the strangest of all
For 0, how strangely they rise and they fall
On the sweet sea-breeze and the midnight ball
That's held on the Ocean blue.
Oh, say what you will of the Capes Of the Sea,
The capes of the Land are the capes for me.
Bend, brothers, bend! there lies the shore
Spring to tall together!-
Now where the tumbling surges roar,
Along the deep, "untramPled hoor,"
We go like dancing feather!
Then, hurrah fo- Cape Cottage, hurrAh!
Hurrah for the blossoming trees!
Hurrah for the beautiful women!
Hurrah for the shells and the moss!-
Hurrah for the chasms to cross!-
With places to swim in,
All tranquil and brimmin'--
Hurrah for the sounding sea breeze!

The National In;elligencer. in a late poll
tical article, advances the following beauti-
full and correct views Of the relative strength
Of the Wing and Locofcco parties, as de-
monstra.ed by late events
For ourselves, philosophizing upon the
clamorous and uprorous Joy of our adverse
rles on one side, and the composed and noise
less tenor Of the Wing party on the other,
we have come to conclusions as to the real
relative strength Of each party very differ
enl from those boastfully claimed on the one
hand, and seeming have acquiesed in on the
other. To our mind, it seems that the FIRST
lof these parties may well be likened 10 the
winter brook, swelled by casual rams to n1or1
than Its usual volume, spouting and roaring
among the rocky fragments in its shallow
bed until Its hoarse voice is heard above all
other sounds; whilst the latter party moro
resembles the stream of sullenness-s the
surest indication of depth and power suffi-
clent TO defy every attempt to bar it's onward
course to the ocean. We have never for
moment doubted that, when the time for
the trial of strength shall come, the Wing
party, now quite unassuming, will come forth
in its power, and be found strong enough
yet, as it was in the year 1910, to bear down
all opposition. Nor do we at this moment
doubt that the power is in the Wing party,
| if they choose to make use Of it, notwith-
standing all tina: has passed, and all that is
said and pretended, to elect from its ranks
majority of the members of the next House
of Representatives.

powers of executive capabiity, he has no
equal. IntuitiVe and accurate apprehension,
soundness ofjudgment, directness and COM
prehensiveness of intellect, and frank, high
and honest purpose are among his distin-
guished characteristics. His system Of policy
is broad as this confederacy, comprehensive
as its great and varied interests, and based
upon eternal principles and truth. He is am
bilious, but he has ever held that towering
and turbulent passion severely subject TO the
behests Of honor, to the purest patriotism, to
the most ardent attachment to constitutional
liberty and to the rights Of the people. Mel
theT his services to mankind nor his renown
have been limited to his own country or to
his own race, but both pervade the civilized
world Exposed for years to the inveierate
prejudices of great party, his firm, unwa-
vering, consistent and lofty course has con-
quered their enmity and their suspicious;
and there are none whose good opinion is
worth possessing, who do not pay homage
to his greatness and integrity, and exuIt in
the consciousness that he is their countryman
because of the lustre which he has shed upon
the name. He may, or may not attain to the
Presidency, but he occupies and will ever
occupy, one of the loftiest positions in the
moral world-a summit balhed all over in
living glorious light, revealing the whole
man as he is in the grandeur Of his nature
without fear and without reproach. He is
our trusted, our Oft tried champion, faithful
among the faithless-the great impersonation
of our glorious cause, under whose banner
we go forth politically to conquer or TO perish
and il we are doomed to fall in this confiict,'
you will find
sour backs to the field, and our feet to the foe y

The following resolutions and memorial were offer
ed at the last meeting of the society, and will come
up for consideration tonight.
ResoIred, That the use of intoxicating drinks is
destructive of individual happiness, and national pros.
perlty degrading TO us as men and bringing reproach
upon us MS a nation.
RESOLVED, That the licensing of the trafic in liouor
i an evil offearfnI magnitude, without justification and
without excuse, and as such ought no longer to be
tolerated,
Pesolred, That a memorial be presented to the
County Court. praying that Honorable body to dis.
continue the traffic, and that the committee of this
society cause the same to be circulated throughout
the town for signatures.
Pesoired, That a copy of these resolutions and of
the memorial be published and forwarded to each town
in this County, and that thew be respectfully request
cd 10 cooperate with us in endeavoring 70 remove
from us the reproach of the liquor traffic.
TO THE HON. THE COUNTY COURT.
The undersigned inhabitants of the town of Burlinp.
ton, deeply impressed with the evils resulting from
the use of intoxicating drinks, and persuaded that
these evils will continue SO long as the traffic in them
is licensed by public authority; do hereby express
our earnest desire that you will so exercise the powers
confded to you by the last legislature, that an effectual
stop may be put to a fearful business which is bringing
sorrow into every family, covering the land with
poverty, want, and wretchedness, and degrading our
fellow men to the condition Of practical slavery.
We are not called on 10 detail the evils of intempe.
rance to your Hon. body, you have long seen them
and known their cause, but have been powerless to
afford relief. You are now authorized to exert the
strong ann of public authority to remove one of the
efficient causes. We call on you as guardians Of the
public prosperity TO exert that power, and by refus-
ing to grant licences TO retail q noxious article you
will lay a permanent foundation for the prosperity OF
thousands wloiare now exceedingly oppressed.
So far forth as we can, we desire TO give energy 20
your resolves, and favor to your determinations hereby
~pledging ourselves 10 do whatever we can to aid in
resculng the land from a whitening curse, not doubling
that the blow that drives out the unhaliowed traffic
will be hailed by the generous and the true as the
harbineer of brighter day, and will be blest by tina,
Beng who wills the prosperity of his children.

The course for those to pursue who wish to make

merchandise, IS to "%support our own" in q liberal
public spirited manner, when a "NfcE, FINE" articl,
is wanted, order it from your NriaHpon, who make.
such things and pay HIM the cash, instead of sending
to New York, Boston, or China. You pay the cash
to your ~neishbor and you send it forth as blood il
sent forth from the heart, difflsiug life to the body o,
system of which you form a component part. Pay
the cash 10 your neighbor and he will be encouraged

For the Burlington Free Press.

Mr.. EoIToR,-l observed in your paper Of the 9th
ut. an article taken from the N. Y. Tribune concern
ing an ancient case of mutiny in which Sir Francis
Drake and a gentleman named Doughty were con.
cerned. According to this account Doughty was
clearly guilty OF Mutiny, for which he was hung by
Drake. Now ! was reading the other day a book of
Voyages &c, edited by VIM. Mavor, L. L. D., pub.
llshed in Philadelphia in 1902, where, in an account of
Drake's voyage round the world, l find a sketch of
the case, so entirely different from the ono above re-
ferred to, both in the facts and differences, thar l have
concluded to send you a few extracts from the work.
While near the Island of ST. Jago about the Isl, o
February, A. d. 1878, "a misunderstanding broke out
" between the Commander and a gentleman Of the
name of Doughty, one Of his particular friends, the
occasion and circumstances Of which have been diff
"~ferently related but according to the best authori.
ties, It originated from some improper conduct off
+" Thomas Drake, which his brother the Admiral was
$50 far from Furnishing or censuring, that, from the
moment he was informed of il, he conceived on inn
"placable and unreasonable resentment against the
"accuser. This afterward led to a very tragical
"evenl." Whleo of the coas, Of Brazil, in the month Of
April, " the quarrel between the Admiral and Doughty
seems to have been exacerbsted on some trivial &C.
"easion: for Drake was determined on his destruc.
lion. Asa proof Of this, when the fly -boat, on board
of which Doughty had contemporary been put,
separated from the feet in a storm, the Admiral
"laid the accident to his charge pretending that he
"was a wizard, and whenever there was any bad
weather, he used TO say, that, it came out of Dough-
"ty's cap-case.'" And finally, we find the consume
ton of the deed in the following Language. Here"
near Port Julian, r" they found the gibbess on which
Magellan had hanged some Of his mu,inous crew,
and perhaps the spectacle stimulated Drake to exc
cute his long preconceived vengeance on Mr.. Dough-
"ty. or this tragical affair there are various &C.
counts, but none, though they palliate The Admirsi's
" conduct, that can wipe away the stain Of deliberate
~"erusity. With . mockery Of the principles of JUS
" iice, while he observed some Of is leas, important
forms, he condemned to death . gentleman who had
" followed his fortunes BY bis particular solicitations.
