SOME HUGE PLAYFELLOWS.

Not even the huge and unWieldy
whales arc exempt from the sense of
huinor as displayed by playfllness. Ia
Benefits "Whaling Voyage" there IL
Il short and graphic description OF this
trait of ciaractre in the spermaceti
whale, or cacholot, AS it is often called
ga large party of cachnlots gambol-
ing on the surface Of the ocean Ii one
Of the most curious and imposing spec
taclcs which II whaling voyage afforlsi
the huge size and uncouth agility OF
the monsters exhibiting strange cOIL
binatiOn of the grand and ridiculous.
ON such OCCASIONS it IL not unusual to
observe Il whale of the largest size leap
from the water with the activity Of u
salmon, display the entire bulk of his
gigantic frame suspended mt the height
of several feet in the mir, and again
plunge into the sea with u helpless and
tremendous fall, which causes the sur.
rounding waters to shoot up In broad
and lofty volumes capped with foam.
Others of the same school leap or
breach in II less degree, spOrtlvely
brandish their broad and fanshaped
nukcs in the air, OF protrude their
heads perpcndicularly above the waves
like columns Of black rock"
Capt. Scott, Il. NJ, once told me, ~
an example of the height to which u
cachalot will leap in these gambOls,
that when standing on the deck OF =
nan-of-war, he has seen the horizon
under the animal before it fell again
into the water. When we recOllect
that these whales often reach eighty
feet in length, we may appreciate the
force witch is exerted in projecting
this huge mass to such a height.

4 FALSE PARALLEL.

\ corrupt and Infamous ldniniStr:-
ton organ called the Washington
Republican,, in Il recent issue, says:
zone distinguishing difference be-
tween the Nothcrn and Southern sec
lions of this country il developed by II
comparison between Louisiana and
New Hampshire. Tho troubles regard
ing the organization of the Legislatures
of these two States were somewhat
similar. In the former, however, the
pcoplc appealed to arms. In New
hampshire the difficulty was referred
to n Democratic court and finally
received Il partial adjustment mt the
hands Of fhC Legislature itself, and
while the excitement regarding ii ran
high, the pcopi" did not !orsakc their
ordinary occupations, but remained
ut their homes or places of buSincSS.'
The writer Of that paragraph lacked
the nanlinrsS to tell the truth and say
that III New Hampshire the law is
administered by men in whose honor
and integrity til" people Of that State
have full confidence; Willie in LOuisi-
ana the Judges bench has been filed
with Radical adventures OF all grades
of rnscality; that men have been
selected by the Radical rulers, not for
their fitness or capacity, but for their
ability to bring support and aid to their
leaders. Since the advent of Radical
bower in this State the judicial crninc
has been dragged through the cess
pools OF corruption, while the majority
Of its wcarcr5 have been noted for their
unscrupulous vonality and readiness to
obey party bchc7t@. Knowing these
facts, but too well, our people were

THE paper submitted by Mr.. Amory to the
Maine Historical Society at their recent
meeting in this city, and read by title only,
was a vindication of General Sullivan from
the imputation cast upon him in the tenth
volume of Bancroft's history. Mr.. Bancroft
says that New Hampshire, at the time nego-
tiations for peace between Great Britain and
the revolted colonies we're going on, aban-
doned the claims to the fisheries by advice Of
Sullivan, who at the time was pensioner OF
Lausanne, the French Minister at Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Amory shows that New Hamp'
shire simply postponed the claim to the fish
cries, in accordance with the advice OF
France, and did not abandon it. The only
justification for Mr.. Bancroft s charge against
Gen. Sullivan is found in the fact that Sulli-
van borrowed 5000 of the Frenchman. There
does not seem to have been any connection
between this loan and the vote In question,
and the aspersion from Mr.. Bancroft is con-
sidered by Mr.. Amory to be without sem
bance of reason.

SOME one In Boston has bethought himself
of writinga history of the United States
Marine corps, a body which historians and
chroniclers have very generally neglected. 1t
seems that the corps was organized in 1775 by
act of the continental congress and at first con-
sisted of two battalions. Two years after 1t
signalized itself by winning the first battle In
the history of the regular navy, the capture of
New Providence in the Bahamas. In 1798 it
was thoroughly reorganized, and saw its next
active service in the harbor Of Tripoli, where
it greatly distinguished itself. In 1909 it
numbered thirteen hundred men, and was
put on an equal footing with other branches
of service. In the war of 1872 and in the Mexi-
can war it did good and often notable service.
Its exploits in the war OF the rebellion are
too fresh to require mention. 1t went into
active service at the firing Of the first gun in
the harbor of Charleston, and acquitted itself
nobly in the fierce conflict that followed. It
showed itself especially deserving Of honor in
the capture of New Orleans, the passage Of
the Vickshurg forts, the affair at Port Hud-
son, the capture of the Alabama and the at
tack on the Notifications of Mobile.
