By the terms of the treaty of friend
ship and commerce entered into be-
tween the United States and Samoa.
" the harbor of Pago Page is voluntari-
ly ceded to the United States for naval
depot and coaling station" This is an
important acquisition, and will greatly
add to American interests not only in
Samoa but in various groups south of
the equator which make Apla, capital
of the Samoan archipelago, the central
point of trade. Something about the
magnificent harbor thus willingly ceded
to us will be interesting The harbor
of Pago Pago penetrates into the center
of the island of Tutuila and almost
divides it into two parts. 1t is one of
the most singular in the Polynesian
Isles, and it is the last point at which
one would look for place of shelter.
The coast near it is peculiarly rugged
and has no appearance of lamentations,
and, the entrance being narrow, is not
easily observed. Its shape has been
compared to variety of articles, but
that which it most resembles is re-

HaZing.

THE depravity of the human heart
can hardly be better illustrated than in
the practice of hazing. The gratuitous
atrocities of this system would not be
so surprising if practiced only by saw
ages or by the lowest and most vicious
classes of society, but it is kept up ex-
clusively by youths who call themselves
gentlemen. The hazers are sons of
good families, sent to the best colleges
under the most excellent instructors,
and who, despite of all warnings. all
reasonings, and all penalties, continue
to keep up their brutal, cowardly and
sometimes fatal sport. Nothing can
be more unmanly than for gang of
men, old or young, to maltreat I'M
mercifully one or two; and the mean
criminality of the act is heightened by
the fact that it is in colleges the seniors
who attack the juniors-students of
standing and experience who maltreat
new corners.
How the custom of hazing, which is
only suitable for Sioux or Comanches,
could take such deep root in some
American colleges is beyond compre-
hension. There is nothing of the kind,
so far as we know, in English, Scotch,
Irish or Canadian colleges, although
the students in some of these have, in
formerstimes, proved a very rough set.
Neither do we hear of any hazing in
Western or Southern colleges in this
country. The system seems to be con-
fined to the old and celebrated colleges
of the Eastern and Middle States, where
it should be least expected, and the
sooner it is stamped out of them the
better. Are the secret societies clan
destinely kept up in colleges the parents
of hazingP If so, we have another and
a very strong argument against such
associations.-N.Y Y. Witness.

A Lucky Cast at Dice.

The following story was lately recited
to us by a gentleman who assures us
that if it has ever been published he
has never seen it. 1t is said to be
thoroughly characteristic of the hero,
who will at once be recognized by
old residents of the great city of st.
Louis. Old Bob Mob was q famous
breeder and lover of the horse. Once
upon time (about twenty years ago)
it happened that he needed certain
large lump of money, and the most eX-
pedient way to get it was by disposing
of some of his many fine horses. But
the spirit of speculation would not, even
in this emergency, permit him to part
with the horse in the usual humdrum
STYLE" as he called it. and he deter
mined to "rat1le'' the animal. The
horse was valued at 81 200, and old Bob
placed the "chancesh at SO apiece,
it thus requiring 100 s. chances before
the rattle would be complete. The
scene of the affair was in famous sa-
loon, and the resort of many army Off
GERS going to and returning from the
plains. The first night after old Bob
perfected the details of his little specu-
lation he was challenged in the bar
room by an officer of very bluff man.
ners, who inquired what he had there.
Bob replied, in no way pleased at the
manner of salutation, to the effect that
it was rattle for horse, but managed
to down his bile,'' and asked the Off
Ger if he would take q chance. The
officer " allowed" he would, and handed
over the ten dollars. Presently the Of
ficer demanded when the rattle was 90
ing to come off, anyhow? "Why," re-
sponded old Bob, beginning to lose all
restraint, you're the first and only
man so far that taken chance But"
continued Bob, if you want to rattle
so bad, come ahead. I'll take the other
ninety-nine chances They went to
work at the dice-box, and old Bob i'm
petuously demanded the first throw.
This was willingly acceded to, and the
result of his three casts was seven
teen, an eighteen and siXteen-total
tfty-one. This was an astonishingly
high throw, and the officer determined
to try his luck at once, and end the I'M
certainty. To the astonishment of all
present he threw fifty-three, which
nearly caused his opponent to break
blood-vessel. Old Bob now hopelessly
and mechanically went to work. Throw
after throw was made, but it was of no
use, and old Bob could never touch
tifty-three. The officer next morning
rode off on the horse, and tn anked his
lucky stars for the grand cast which
had made him the possessor of a splen.
did charger for ten dollars. OF Bob's
rage the writer does not speak. He re-
fused to drink with the officer, and went
away swearing at his own precipitancy
and the blind luck of some people. This
story is based on an actual occurrence

A Big Snake Story.

As the fast express on the Lake Shore
stopped at Berea yesterday to take
water the passengers saw in the corner
of rail fence, summing itself, a large
snake. When the engineer blew off a
stream of kissing, hot steam, the snake
suddenly coiled itself up as if to jump
at the brakeman, who stood with his
back toward the reptile. Col. Robert
Downes, who was in the parlor car, saw
the dangerous position of the brake
man, and with cool presence of mind
leaped from the car, grasped fence
rail and proceeded to strike at the snake.
By this time the ladies in the car were
screaming, and the other male passen-
gers had jumped out to help the Colonel.
The snake lodged Col. Downes' first
blow by dipping its head and then sud
denly, to the horror of every one, sprang
from its coil head foremost upon the
platform of the car, and, the door be-
ing open, glided, with fiery eyes and dart
ing tongue, straight into the center of
the car. Several ladies nearly tainted,
and the screams of the frightened pas
sengers brought Superintendent Newell,
NilO ittNa ~ Wv Cl llolll tllC lChl Cttl.
Mr.. Newell is a good shot, having
served through the Mexican war, but
the screams of the lady passengers
seemed to unnerve him, and his first
shot missed the snake, which now coiled
itself up, with head erect, ready to
spring in among half-fainting group
of ladies'.
Luckily, as soon as Mr.. Newell fired,
and before the snake could make a
deadly spring, Mr.. Augustus Schell, of
New York, the Vice President of the
road, drew revolver and shot the
snake dead. Quivering a moment, its
head fell and the dead body lay Ifeless
on the carpet of the car.
On measuring the snake it was found
to be seventeen feet and seven inches
long, and had fourteen rattles in its
tail, and four rattles around its neck.
1t was rare species of rattlesnake or
UtcHS Snakina, thought heretofore by
naturalists to be an extinct species.
Our readers can place the largest credit
to this account, as we gained our infor-
nation from one of the passengers who
saw the snake die and afterward meas
ured it. Mr.. Eli Perkins is the passen-
ger who on his honor vouches for the
truthfulness of the account Cleceland

plicitly state whence he came. He then
reported his vessel as belonging to the
New World which Columbus had
discovered, on hearing which the mes
senger Immediately repaired to the
shore. In few hours he returned,
and, for the first time, came on board
the frigate, bringing with him lamb
and bunch of flowers, the former as
an emblem of peace, and the latter of
welcome. The Sultan then offered the
vessel the hospitality of the inner har-
Dor. He was much 9ratifed at the sa-
lutte fired on passing his palace. No
ticing the stars in the United States
flag, he remarked that, as his own was
decorated with one of the heavenly
bodies, he considered the coincidence
as an omen of the friendly intercourse
between the two nations. The Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs having threatened
to seize his vessel, cambridge put HIM
self under the protection of Lord Elgin,
the British Ambassador. When the
Capudan Pasha soon after arrived with
the fleet, he removed all further diff
culties, and the more readily as he was
brOther-in-law of the Sultan. The Porte

gerine Ambassador or his presents, or
dered him to return, and to carry to his
master, the Dey, the Sultan's demand
to declare war against France, to remit
to him a million piastres for his daring
presumption, and to do all within sixty
days. The Capudan Pasha told Balm
bridge it was the first time foreign
armed vessel had reached CONSTANT
nople without having first obtained
g firman'' from the Grand Seignor. 1t
must have been the fault of the negli-
gence of the Commander of the Castles.
He had put him in confinement, and
his execution was only suspended until
the sentence had received his (the
Pasha's) signature, which would not be
withheld. Bainbridge took the whole
blame on himself, frankly told all the
circumstances, and finally saved the
life of the offending Pasha at the OAR
danelles. The Sultan gave him, on
leaving, tirman of protection. When,
in an audience with the Dey, he refused
to 90 second time to Constantinople
on his business, he flew into q rage, and
would have had him murdered on the
spot had he not displayed the Sultan's
tirman. This brought him to terms,
and cambridge was allowed to depart,

tort. 1t is surrounded on all sides by
inaccessible mural precipices, from
800 to 1000 feet in height. The lower
part of these rocks is bare, but they are
clothed above with luxurious vegeta-
ton. The harbor is easy of access, and
its entrance, which is about third of
mile in width, is well marked by the
Tower Rock and the DEVILS Point.
When Admiral Wilkes (from whose ex-
plorations we condense these facts) ens
tered the harbor, his flagship was in
twenty-nine fathoms of water. The ISL
and of Tutuila has, besides, many
ports and bays on the north side, where
vessels may obtain wood, water and
supplies. The climate of Tutuila is
mild and agreeable, particularly at
Page PagO, where the temperature is
lower than elsewhere on the island, in
consequence of it generally being over
Swallowed with clouds that hang on the
high lands. There is usually a fine
breeze, which sets in about ten O. clock
and continues until sunset. A sea-
captain now in this port, who has
frequently sailed in and out of Page
Page, says it is by all odds the finest
harbor in all the Polynesian Islands.
The only safe harbor in the Hawaiian
group is that of Honolulu, though
vessels at certain times can find
shelter at Kealakakua Bay and Byron's
Bay, Island of Hawaii. The principal
harbor on the Society Islands is that of
Papeete, Island of Tahiti, though there
are some openings elsewhere in the
coral reefs where vessels can enter to
load or unload. Besides Pago Page
the Samoan group has the excellent
harbor of Apia, where, shippers say,
sailing crafts can enter and depart at
all seasons of the year without the aid
of tug boats. According to special
dispatch published in the Chronicle re-
Gently, a new survey of Pago Pago har-
Dor and surrounding waters will soon
be made by our naval authorities. San

Bainbridge's Adventure.

Commodore cambridge srun through
the Dardanelles in 1901 was so remark
able that it deserves detailed descrip-
ton. He had arrived at Algiers with
the tribute which the United States, in
common with all other Governments,
then paid to the Dey. While his vessel,
the frigate George Washington, was ly-
ing at anchor under the batteries of AL
giers, the Dey requested him to carry
his Ambassador and presents to the
Sultan, his suzerain, whom he had Of
Tended by concluding a treaty of peace
with France when Turkey and her Brit
ish ally were carrying on war in
Egypt against the French army under
Bonaparte. Upon refusing to go on
such an errand, the Dey insolently re-
marked to him: "You pay me tribute
by which you become my slaves. | have
therefore right to order you as |
please" Fearing the loss of the frigate,
and the slavery of himself and crew, and
the sacrifice of our valuable commerce
in that quarter by the Algerine corsairs,
cambridge finally consented to execute
the mission. In reporting these pro-
ceedings, and which were subsequently,
approved by his Government, Balm
bridge said: 81 hope | may never be
sent again to Algiers with tribute, I'M
less am authorized to deliver it from
the mouth of our cannon"
When the vessel was about sailing the
Dey insisted that the cOlors of Algiers
should fly at the main-an honor which
had always been yielded to him by the
English, French, and Spanish COM
manders who had been employed by
him in similar services. Bainbridge
acceded to the demand until he got out
of reach of the guns of the harbor, and
then he hauled down the corsair flag
and ran up the Stars and Stripes. The
Ambassador had suite of some 200
Mussulmans, with a large number of
tigers and other animals, and 100000
as presents. The shifting of sail and
nautical maneuvers were much i'm
peded by the praying on deck of this
crowd, and their efforts to keep their
faces turned to Mecca. After stormy
passage the castles of the Dardanelles
were reached. Fearing, if he was to
apply, he would not get a firman to
pass up to the capital, he made a show
of coming to, partially glowing up his
sails, and in the meanwhile firing a sa-
lutte. As soon as the castles began to
respond he spread all his canvas to the
wind, which was blowing strong aft,
and before his operations could be dis
cerned he was beyond cannon range
and spanking along against the current
in dashing style. On his arrival at |
Constantinople an officer was sent off to
know under what flag he sailed, to
which he replied: 1.-The flag of the
United States The messenger from
the harbor fort returned, and observed |
that such nation as the " United
States had never been heard of before
by the Turkish Government, and de-
sired that Capt. cambridge would ex-
