ENERGY Observation-Disclosures Mclean, ia
youth of fifteen years of Harlem, n. T., has
been appointed to the Naval Academy at An
uapolis, Md, by the President. Graduating
from Hartford Academy, Maryland ana having
: passionate desire to become cadet, he de-
trrmined to obtain an appointment, if possible,
aud that, too, without the knowledge OF his
relatives and without the assistance OF his
friends. By personal application he received
hearty recommendations from Commodore van
derbit, Judge kctcham. and other gentlemen
of influence in New York, and starting Tor
Washington proceeded at once to the White
House. and after some delay obtained an inter-
view with the President. His frank couute-
nance and youthful but determined bearing won
the Presidents favor, and after consulting the
Secretary of the Navy upon the subject 1t was
decided to give young Mclean an appointment
as above stated Thus is the truthtuluess OF
,,he old adage verified, God helps those who
help themselves
