eight pounds aud all the ladies say that II Is such
a pretty little angel. aud looks just like its papa
OF course every body will know it is pretty when
il resembles U.s. 1t has black eyes, dark hair, aud
the sweetest little face, aud the way it can cry rs
caution to a caope; but then its little voice is SO
charming, producing such harmony Of sweet
sounds II was the first time that ever heard
our baby's voice. and what thrill of happiness
did that little sound send through our bosom.
But we are at least two feet taller than We were
before baby was born, and think oursclf good
enough to become preacher. We pity every
body that hasn got baby. and as for old bache-
lurs We entertain a soverei gn contempt for them,
and intend to lam he first one that presunes 10
have the effrnntery 10 speak to us. Pour old

WHAT ARE LETT BRs OF, MARQUEE

A contemporary refers TO this question a one
which many probably, would be glad to have
deiuite answer TO, just at this time. Letters of
Marque extraordinary commissions, granted by
public authority, owners Of vessel to make
capture and prize of the persons. ships and pro-
perty OF the sub ects of another nation which has
committed Injuries, but neglects refuses % give
proper redress therefor. The vessel itself which
bears such commission is sometimes called Letter
of Marque.
The term marque is derived from the Anglo
Saxrn -nIearca-touud or boundary. Letters of
narque aud reprisal. they more fully term
ed, signify literally, therefore. commissions au-
thorzing the passing If lire frontiers or boundary
= for the purpOSe of taking in return
1t IL unnecessary to trace the mnhific rtinn and
regulations TO which letters of marqne have been
subjected from their origin to the present day.
Reprlsais between nation and nation as means
OF obtaining justice. Of very ancient origin and
have their foundation in the of the relations
of different powers. Though not of frequent &C
currence how, yet as late as 1884 President
Jackson. in his Annual Message, suggested the
proFriety Of res"rting to this method of obtaining
satisfaction of our clams against France
Letters of marque and reprisai, however. with
reference TO operations were not known till
q much later period when the increase in the num-
Der OF maritime lowers. and the advance Of COM
merce. gave rise to their necessity. In modern
practice. they seldom. if ever issued until war
has been declared or is in immediate pr,srect
Merchants, in time Of war, often deem il advisa-
BILE to carry larger crews than usual and more or
less OF an armament for purposes of defence; aud
not unfrequcntly take out letters of maruue with
the view, if opportunity offers to indemnf, them
selves for the increased risk and expense of vow
age by taking prizes. Privateers. or vessels fitted
out at private expense, for the purpose of cruising
against an enemys commerce, are commissioned
by letters Of marque The term is now applied
In general sense to the authority under which all
lawful private armed shiTs act
In the United States. The power of granting
Letters of mrarGur and repr>a j., vested hv the
Constitution. in Congress Tn the war Of 1912.
this power was exercised in the Act of June 1912.
declaring war ard provision made FIR the
guidance and regulation of parties applying for
such mmsSinn. aud of vessels sailing under them
by rhe Acts of June, 26 1913. These Acts were
temporary IN their design. aud are now obsolete
Special Legislation would he required upon any fu-
ture occasion which called for a renewed exercise
Of this power
1t would be violation of the Neutrality Act of
April 20, 1873, for American vessel to be |
commissioned as letter of marque in The service
OF any foreign power against a nltun with whom |
we are at leace; or for any vessel he fitted out
and aimed IN any Of our ports for the purpose
OF cruising under letters of marque against a |
friendly power.
