Our Old Wars.

During the last hundred and seventy
three years, we have had nine wars, with
out counting Indian was,) and all these to-
gether make fifty years of warfare. That
is to say, during the last century and three
quarters, we have bad one year of war to
about every two aud half years of peoce.
The following brief sketch of our old wars
we find credited 10 the Springfield Mass.
Republican,:
Our FIRST war took place in the reign Of
Williom Ill, and lasted from 1859 to 1897.
William I'LL, the champion of Protestant In.
terests, waged long war with the magnf.
cent and profigate Louis XIV. of France
Could Puritan New England refrain from.
lending helping hand? Two considerable
expedition sailed from Boston against the
northern French possessions, both of which
ended in sad wreck and loss, aud brought
on New England the curse of deprecated
paper money. This war was always STYLED
by the colOnists, "King Williams War;
The next war, known as Queen Anne's
War, began in 1902, and ended with the
peace of Utrecht in 1913. II was in tbis
war that the great Marlborough won his
most brilliant victories. The brave and
generous sons of Massachusetts, again as.
sailed the French in the North, and wrested
from them the province of Novia Scotia, a
conquest which the treaty Of Utrecht con-
frmed.
After thirty years of peace, the third war
broke out, called King Georges war, be-
cause 1t occurred in the reign of George
ii. 1t lasted from l744 to l748. Once
more Massachusetts. with the aid of six
other colonies, sent nOrthward a mighty
armament, and conquered the stronghold of
Louisburg on she island of Cape Breton,
an event that was celebrated in every
town from Boston to Charleston with bon
fires, fireworks, 'iiluminatiOns, barbecues.
and thanksgivings. The valient Yankee
who commanded was knighted and made
lieutenant general for bis conduct on this
occasion. Sir William Pepperell be was
thencefortb called.
Next came the long. free war. in which
Braddock fell, and Wolfe took Qnekec, and
all Canada and all Indi fell under the do
minion of Britain, the war conducted by
William Pitt. 10 Europe this war is called
the "Seven Years. War;" but in the Amer
ica, where 1t lasted more than ten years,we
commonly styled 1t the "Old French War;
1t began in 1853, and ended with the peace
of Paris, in 1853. Glorious New England
noby seconded by New York, Pennsylva-
MIA and Virginia, bore the brunt of this
gr' at contest.
Then came the war of the Revolution.
which lasted eight years; then the rupture
with France in 1898; then the war of 1872;
then the war with Mexico; and last this
war Of 1861, in which we are now engae-
ed.
All the old French wars were mainly
fought paid for by New England, and we
have the testimony Of General Washington
himself that bis great reliance during the
war OF the Revolution was upon Yankee
steadiness and valor. In the war of 1872
aud the war with Mexico the Southern
States bore their full share; but il was New
York sailors that won the battle on the sea
and taught the world that the United States
had a navy.

A New ALEXANDER SELKIRK.-A CORES
pondent Of the S. F. Herald, writing from
the Sandwich Islands, says:
Captain Walter NJ. Gibson, who was lee
turer in California about a year ago, and
who kicked up such rumpns with the Nor
mons on these Islands, is here still, aud is
residing at the Island of Lanai, and has
been there, 80 | understood, for some
months, living in perfect seclusion, there
being no European upon the island besides
himself and daughter. No one knows what
be is up to, but we are in continual receipt
Of all kinds Of rumors of too ridiculous a
character to bear repetition in this place.
One thing, however, is certain. that be has
large body of natives around him. who
are perfectly under his control. He has
agents upon all the different islands. who
transmit to him everything that is taking
place. They are called Mormons. but this
is very generally doubted. There seems to
be a mystery about Capt. Gibson and his
party which the good people of this island
can't unravel.
