English Buccaneers of Elizabeth's Time
Sir Walter Raleigh, the Fillibuster.

From book which we have elsewhere no.
ticed, entitled Lives of the British Historians,
tby Lawrence,) We extract the following very
fine descriptive passages. They occur in the
biography of Sir Walter Raleigh, the greatest
Of FiIHbusters:
Elizabeth was the queen of nation of bucca-
neers. Her subjects were almost universally en-.
gagged in privateering. English seamen were
just beginning to display their native hardihood
and cupidity Their fraiI, i'll constructed barks,
30 small that in the present age they would
scarce seem fit for river navigation, pierced the
most distant and dangerous seas in pursuit of
their prey. They had just learned the weakness
and wealth Of Spanish commerce. They found
that any English pinnace Of twenty tons was
more than match for a Lisbon galleon of twelve
hundred tons. They taught the Spanish sailors
to dread the coming of their hereto foes as they
would legion of demons. The English indeed
fought more like demons than men. They met,
without 6inching, force an hundred times more
powerful than their own. A feet of Spanish
carracks of immense size lay around Greenville's
single ship, the Revenge, whole day. They
could neither board nor sink her, and would have
fed dismayed. shattered and filed with sIaugh-
ter from her terrible crew, had not her last bar.
rel of powder given out. Almost every English
captain was GreenTille, and every ship Re.
venge. They rode the seas with triumphant
assurance that they were its masters. Even the
dangers Of the waves were despised. Their in
built barks were seldom tight. They leaked
badly in the very harbor. They were so small
that the slightest swell Of the sea seemed sufi-
Gent to OverWhelm them. The provisions were
usually bad and insufficient None of those in
veDtions which relieve the hardships of modern
sailors were known to the Elizabethan naviga-
tors. The science of navigation was yet to be
learned. The compass and the lead we're their
only guides. Yet with such science and such
Tessels4hey encountered the violent storms of
the Bay Of Biscay, the dangers of the Atlantic,
and the icebergs of the Polar seas In eonse
quence many brave men persisted; many like
Sir Humphrey Gilbert sank with ship and crew
in stormy nights and raging seas
But the fate Of the lost did not check the zeal
Of the living. Rich prizes were daily arriving
in English harbors, TO stimulate avarice and ad-
venture. The favorite speculation with all elas
sss was to embark their capital in pIvateering.
Elizabeth set the example to her people. Sell
dom an expedition went forth in which she had
not a tspsk or fifth interest, and few prizesre-
TUNED out Of which she did not exact something
more than her share 49,
Indeed. it vas generally allowed that in these
matters she often acted Sc but indiHerenfly." She
seemed neither honest nor just when the plum

An UPuoHT JUDIcIARY.-It is recorded in Do
ver's Life Of Frederick the Great, that when the
King Of Prussia had determined to build what
is called the New Palace Of Sans Souci, part
Of his plan was TO connect the new building with
the old BY pleasure ground. A mill occupied
part Of the ground which be wished to include
in his new garden. He offered to buy Il, and to
pay for it considerably more than the value
The miller refused to part with it, and declared
that he would never leave the mill, which had
descended to him from his fore-fathers. The
King himself, in one Of his walks, conEersed
with the miller upon the subject: Becoming at
length i1itated with the mans obstinacy, he
said to him: "You seem not to be aware that
am the master, and that can take by force
what you refuse to give up to me-" Z" o." re-
piled the miller, "you cannot fighten me in
this way. We have judges at Berlin" Fred
eriek was so pleased with the answer, that he
