A GAllant Sea.TIght.


II appears that tho defence of the
Chiliau corvette Esmcralda. off fquiquc.
Peru. was an act of hcroism deserving a
conspicuous place in the annals Of naval
warfare. The Chilian vessel. an Old
wooden Graf of l.O0O tons burden.
tolcrably well armed, was caught in a
little bay. where escape was impossible.
by the powerful Peruvian ram Huascar.
Here was n situation where n prudot
commander would have speedily pulled
down his flag but most heroic deeds are
performed in defiance of that discretion
which is said to be the better part of
yalor. and Captain Thomson, Of the
Esmcralda, determined 20 fight his ship
10 the last He refused 10 surrender.
and opened on his huge antagonist.
The IIuascar declined fair fight and
running into her adversary, crushed the
Esmcralda'r wooden walls with a single
blow from her iron ram and sent her TO
the bottom. Captain Thomson, with a
handful of his men. climbed on board
the Huascar and were cut down while
bravely fighting on the deck of their
enemy.
The Chilians who went down at their
guns or were slaughtered on board the
Peruvian riIm were avenged. however
The same day on which the Esmeralda
was sunk. the splendid Peruvian
armorcd frigate Independence ran fast
u1on a sunken rock and was abandoned
and fired by her own crew. She had
separated from the IIuascar when the
latter attacked the corvette and had gone
in pursuit Of the Chilian dispatch boat
Covadonga. which, keeping close in
shore, In shallow water. lured the big
ironclad to self-destruction. The net
result Of the whole affair. so far as Chill
is concerned. is therefore the exchange
OF an old wooden craft for the finest and
only really formidable cruising ship in
the Peruvian navy-about equivalent to
trading pawn at chess for an adversary's
queen.

Poisoned by Nicotine.

A rather unusual case of nicotine poi
sonipg occurred lately in a Partisan
suburb. The victim, a man in the prime
Of life, had been cleaning his pipe with
clasp knife, with this he accidently cut
one of his fingers subsequently, but as
the wound was of trivial nature he paid
no heed to it. Five or six hours later.
however, the cut finger grew painful and
became much swollen; the Inflammation
rapidly spread to the arm and shoulder,
the patient suffering such intense pain
that he was obliged to betake himself to
his bed Medical assistance was called
in, and ordinary remedies applied inef
fectually. The sick man, questioned as
to the manner in which he had cut him
self, explained the use to which the
pocket knife had been applied adding
that he had omitted to wipe it after
cleaning his pipe. The apparent mystery
which surrounded the case was thus
cleared up, and as the patients state had
become alarming he was conveyed to
the hospital Upon his admission the
doctors attached to the institution de-
clared that in the immediate amputation
of the arm lay the only hope of saving
the patients life. The poisoned mem
Der was therefore amputated; but in
spite of the promptitude with which the
operation was performed, the man lies in
so precarious a condition that the chances
of his recovery are said to be slight

Come Into the Garden, Maud"

'Come into the garden, Maud"
For the black bat, night, has fiown,7
And the cats that danced on the onion-bed
Have left it at last alone;
But there isn't onion left in the patch
That would care to own.
"For the breezes of morning move,"
And the sun is climbing high
And look at the garden n-patch love,
And think / should like to die.
| could kick every cat in the neighbOrhood
Clear up the azure sky.
All night the onions have heard
Brindle and Tabby and Tom;
And the truck-patch looks as it had been stirred
By an eight-inch Ericsson bomb.
If you mentioned the pansy bed in a word,
You would have to call it 'tgiom."
They have made one long, wild tear
From the porch to the alley-Gate;
They are coming again, L declare,
And Brindle cat wauS as he here? Is he here? -
And the gray cat yells on the gate,
And the black cat yowlS at the others in fear,
And the yellow cat walls in hate.
They are coming hear their feet ;
On the roof and the porch they tread
They arescoming to wrestle and beat
Down the earth in my onion-bed.
But hurl them back in retreat
With handful of powder and lead,
And laugh at their walls and scrambling feet
On the roof of my neighbor's shed.

Backbone.

When you see a fellow mortal
Without fixed and fearless views,
Hanging on the skirts of others,
Walking in their caSt-off shoes,
Bowing low to wealth and favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retract or waVer;
Willing to be drove or led
Walk yourself with firmer bearing;
Throw your moral shoulders back;
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
Just the thing which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
- In sense and tone
Than this, backbone!
When you see politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls;
With no sterling manhood in him /;
Nothing stable, broad, or sound
Destitute of pluck or ballast;
Double-sided all around;
Walk yourself with frmer bearing;
Throw your moral shoulders back
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
Just the thing which he must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
Than this. backbone!
A modest song and plainly told
The text is worth a mine of gold
For many men most sadly lack
A noble stiffness in the back.
