MAX ADLER's CRAPE STORY.

I learn from a newspaper that ga Kansas
widOwer was tarred and feaIbered the 9TH
rday because he didn't wear deep enough
mourning for his departed spouse This
reminds me Of the contest that has been
raging in our village between Brown and
Jones. Both Of them lost their wives on
the SAME day, and aler the funerals,
Brown appeared again in public with three
inches of grape on his high hat, while Jones
only had two. Jones was so much afraid
people would think be didn't mourn for
his wife as deeply as Brown grletod for his,
that be added four inches Of crapeto his hat,
whereupOn Brown, apprehending that peo-
pie would believe that he thought more
lightly fhis loss than Jones did Of his,
put eight inches ofcrape on his hat. Theu
Jones determined not be OUtdOne as a
mourner Of the dear departed, put on so
much Grape that it extended considerably
above the top Of his hat crown. Where
upon, Brown became excited, and, cutting
the crown from an old hat, be d0vetailed it
on his new one, and swathed it in Grape %
the summit. Jones was unwilling 10 display
envy, but the memory Of Mrs. Jones was
so sacred to him that be enveloped his hat
in pastebOard four feet high, and wrapped
it all in the blackest Grape he could buy.
But Brown feeling that his love for Mrs.
Brown demanded energetic action, bought
fifteen feet of stovepipe, jammed 1t down
over his hat, bandgaged it with 200 yards
of Grape, and once more appeared upon the
street. Then Jones sent to the city and
ordered hat eighty feet high, eraped six
inches thick. Il was sent home from the
freight Office on a dray, and the next morn
ing Brown knocked of, married the widow
Metcalf, and resumed business in a straw

cut up into lengths, and he hoped 70 be
able to fill his bets with them if his side

C0nRTING HND DTYORCE.

An old story contains a lesson which
married couples have not yet learned.
When Jonathan Trumbull was Governor OF
Connecticut, a gentleman called at his
house one day requesting a private inter
view. He said: 81 have called upon
very unpleasant errand sir, and want your
advice. Ny wife and do not live happily
together, and am thinking Of getting
divorce. What do you advise me to do"
The Governor at a few moments in
thought; then turning TO his visitor said,
ssHow did YOU treat Mrs. w. when you
were courting her? and how did you feel
towards her at the time Of your marriage?
Squire w. replied, IL treated her as
kindly as could, for I loved her dearly at
that time
aWell, sir" said the Governor, ''gO home
and court her now just as you did then
and love her as when you married her.
Do this III fear of God for one year and
then tell me the result
The Governor then said, "Let us pray"
They bowed in prayer and separated
When a year passed away, Squire W. call
ed again to see the Governor, and said
81 have called to thank you for the good
advice you gave me, and to tell you thai
my wife and 1 are as happy as when hrsl
we were married. 1 cannot be grateful
enough for your good counsel" 81 am
glad to hear it Mr.. W !" said the Governor
Gand I hope you will continue to court
your wife as long as you live"

/ been of little use In a feet Aght On &C
count of their want q speed. Their
| turrets and hJlis could not resist the
heavy rifed projectiles now in use, and
they cannot raise their turrets from
their seats In a sea way, for the water
would rush in and deluge their holds.
These monitors were built during the
late war for a specific purpose, which
/ they amply fulfilled, viz: to operate in
smooth water against fortifcatiOns and
for the defense of harbOrs. For such
service they proved themselves admira-
bly, adapted, and their turrets and hulls
well marked with heavy shot, which
did no harm, showed that they
we're practically invulnerable at
that time. Possessing the heaVi-
est ordnance then known,
they were a match for any single ship
aAoat; but since they were built ten
and eleven inch plates have been easily
perforated by the eleyen-inch rife.
Either Of the above mentioned guns
could perforate the turrets Of any Of
our monitors, while the vessels from
which they were fred could remain at
a distance where our smooth bore guns
could do them no harm. If such guns
could so easily demolish the tuETets of
our monitors, what chance would the
latter have against ship Ike the In
flexible, now building in Englandf 2
She Is Of 11,095 tons displacement,
5000 indicated horse power, il 70 be
driven at a speed Of fourteen knots By
twin screws, and it is understood she
Is to mount four 8l-ton guns, throwing
shot Of about 1000 pounds weight. It
is very evident that such a ship, with
her a inch iron plates. would receive
no damage from one of our monitors,
except at very close quarters.
1t appears, further, that sufficient
defensive armor to protect these moni-
tors against heavy rihed ordnance
would SO weight them down as to be
unnavigable except in smooth waters.
The admiral says it was apparent to
every officer In the West Indian feet
that the monitors would be of little
avail in conflict with the foreign ves-
sells in those waters.
We may note in this connection that
the Washington correspondent of the
NelC York Tisses asserts that no ne
groes were among the Americans sAur-
dered at Santiago, aRd that the differ
ence in compensation was not the cause
for delay on the basis of the British
settlement. The real cause %as a claim
on the part Of Spain for payment for
the ViTginius, which she claimed as
legal prize, her American papers beng
fraudulent. This claim was resisted
by the United States, when, for the
sixteenth time since Grant became
President, Spain suddenly passed un-
der a new government, which renders
fresh negotiations necessary. From
this version of affairs, there would
seem to be no immediate danger of
war, unless AlfOnsO-or mayhap Bis
1t,
