percepible among the member. Tho war news from
Europe gave a strong impulse to the com and wheat

liyeres The markets at Chicago and Milwaukee were
particularly excited and the prices were posted on the

bri,laint and daring naval commanders
This country has ever produced. He
VOC native of the State of Maryland, i,
ond entered the United States navy In
1896. and obtained midShipman's .
warrant in 1892. His promotions were
gradual, until in 1850 he reached the
Grade of commander.
In 1859 he was made Secretary OF tho
Lighthouse Board, which position h'

bers of the press for one sumptuous re-
past. He is said to have driven into
Hyde, Park with, an, equestrian outfit
beyond the limits allowed by law TO
any person out of the royal household,
and to have been heavily fined for it.
These stories, and his reputation as a
Don cirn,st, are against his succesorship.
On John w., the third son, the choice
now seems to centre. He is not a
fanatic, and very little of a Mormon !;
and these are the best points in his
favor, paradoxical though it may seem.

the war, when he resigned and was al,.
pointed commander of the Confederate
navy. Ha was assigned to the steamer
Sumter, which was fitted out at New
Orleans with IA picked crew, and ON
June so, 1861, ran the blockade at Pass
a-FOutre, and in twenty-six days he
had captured nine American ships IN
the gulf and West India waters.
Finally he was blocked in the port oi
Tangier blythe Tuscorora, and there
he sold the Sumter and returned to the
Confetleracy, where the celebrated
"Alabama," or s29O,' AS she was first
called, was being equipped for him,
and in August he again put to sea,
Tho terrible havoc he played with
American commerce while in command
of that vessel, together with her sink
ing by the Kearsarge, off Cherbourg,
has been graphically told by himself
in his admirable book, "Service
Atioat." The damages inflicted by
him have been the subject OF Che nego-
tiatiof,s between this country and Great
Britain, known AS the uAlabama
claitns," which ut one time threatened
a resort to war, but were finally settled
hy the payment by Great Britain OF Il
large indemnity. Admiral Semn,es was
not only great as Il sailor and an I'm.
dotnitahie fighter after tho old naval
style, hut he was also II man OF fine lit.
cr'.ry culture and ability. He was
also one of the best admiralty lawyers
Of his day, aud his understanding Of
laws and practice OF prize courts Is
shown in his book. If we mistake not
he is the author Of Il work on this
subject, which is the standard nut hority
all over the world.-N. q. Democrat.

What a picnic would be without
hornets is a matter of conjecture, as
there never has been a way to find out.
A hornet is not denominational. Ii
goes to all picnics. And it is a desira-
bic adjunct. IT tends to modify greed
mess, beside adding largely to the gen
eral enthusiasm. Five hornets ut a
small table will do more to level social
distinctions and to promote social in
| tercourse than an awful disaster in !;

That drives me nearly wild.

THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN
Within the Arctic Circlc-Pcculinritic ~
Of the Norwegian Coast nmd. rs
Of the People.

The Rochester Union makes the fot-
lowing extracts from u private letter
dated ut T'romsoe, Norway, July ::
awe steamed into this pretty Arctic
town night before last and shall make
our home here a week longer, while a
portion of the party finish their north
ern trip around North Cape to Vad-
soc. We crossed the mountains by
means of horses and carriages, using
l2O for our rido of 200 miles. The law
requires every ,station--froin six to ten
miles npart--to furnish travellers fresh
horses within half an. hour OF their ar
rival. We are now two days into the
Arctic Circle, and where we now live
the sun shines brightly at midnight
from May 20 to July 20. Even two days
so strong at midnight that the ladies
wanted shades. This coast is perfectly
beautiful, or, should have said, grand, ,
as we'll AS wonderful. For nearly 1000
miles the islands are so thick--s0 close
together-that it is like sailing up Il
river which expands into lakes. Tho
whole distance is oversiatlOWeu with
|snOw-capped mountains from 5000 to
j, 200 feet in height, rising abruptly
from the water, whilo in tho distance
are to, be seen those which are much
higher. We were exposed only once
or twice to tho open sea, and then only
two or three hours at II time. The air
here is very eyhialrating. Yesterday
the children picked wild flowers :is we
We're walking, and within few feet
made snowballs. 1t is ~ wonder that
in SO short a season anything can be
grown in this latitude, and yet grass
Springs TIP rapidly, often growing an
but two seasons, reilly ten months of
winter and two Of summer. Although
the season is SO long yet the feords
never freeze, and ! think we often
have AS cold weather in New York.
The occupation of tho place is fishing,
mostly herring and Goldfish. All are
well to do; no rich and no poor. The
people are Intelligent, the masses re-
cciving IL fair education But what Il
queer place and what queer customs!
From the belfry of tho church between
the hours of 8 at night and q \. Ma
man shouts the time OF night through
IL large tin horn ut intervals of every
half hour. The clergymen wear large,
wide ruffa. We have just been to sec
The Laps, some three or four miles from
the town. They were notified the day
before ana for Il small sum spent the
whole day among the mountains gath
eriiig their reindeer which they drove
down for us to scc--somc 400 of them
in number. 1t was such II novel sight
to see them coming down the steep
mountains. They will not live low
down, as they cat only reindeer moss
which grows where it is very cold.
Cows will not eat where they have
been as the scent of the little
hair they shed is very offensive to
them. We go from hero TO the ieorGis
around Lolde and Bergen and purpose
spending few weeks there; from
thence we go to Hamburg, through
Germany to Geneva, reaching Nice
about the Ist Of November. Tho trip
so far has been one of great pleasure"
