In Memoriam.

Captain William I. Glasseli was
born at Fleetwood, Culpepper coun-
ty, Virginia, January 18th, 1881.
He entered the United States Navy
In 1916, and served therein until
1861, holding then a Lieutena nt,s
commission in the Asiatic squad
ron. Resigning his commission in
the United States Navy, he was
appointed Lieutenant in the Con-
federate Navy and assigned for duty
to the iron.clad Chicora, in Charles
ton Harbor. Developing an es-
pecial talent in the construction
and effective management of the
then comparatively new instru.
ment of marine warfare, the tor
pedo, he was soon detailed for this
service. It was under his personal
supervision that the torpedo boat
David" was prepared in Charles.
ton Harbor, and he personally COM
manded her in the attack upon the
New Ironsides, which lay in the
blockading squadron off Charleston
bar. The exploit was one of the
most daring and noteworthy of the
many incidents of the war; and, In
skill of execution and daring, only
paralleled by the attack of Lieut..
Cushing, of the United States Navy,
upon the Confederate iron.clad
Albomarle, in the Roanoke river.
BY the shock of the explosion,
the New Ironsides was seriously
disabled, but not sunk. The tor
pedo boat was SO injured that her
crew endeavOred to escape by
swimming. Captain Glassell, after
an hour In the water, was picked
up by the boats of the fleet, and
held as prisoner for u year, until
exchanged. He was then placed
in command of the ironclad Fred.
ericksburg in James river, until, on
the evacuation of Richmond, he
was compelled to blow her up to
prevent capture. From this time
until the close of the war, he served
in command of an artillery force in
the army ofGeneral J. T.. Johnston.
After the war he was offered com.
mand and high rank under O
foreign flag, but declined. In the
year 1866, he came to California,
where he has since remained.
Some three years ago an attack of
pneumonia resulted in chronic dis.
ease of the lungs, which, after long
months of suffering, finally ended
in death.
Captain Glassell was man of
singularly modest, retiring charac-
ter; man of pure, blameless life;
and one whose manner was ever
marked by gentle courtesy that
made friends of all whom he met.
He had, | believe, no personal
enemies. Withal he was possessed
of a quiet, accomplishing fortitude
which, whether the endurance of
the soldier or the patience of the
Christian, led to few murmurings
during the sufferings of his long,
hopeless illness. May mis- sleep
be sweet in that last rest for which
he SO longed.
The writer of this bore arms un-
der the ono flag; Captain Glassell
under the other. In the thought of
this, and in the thought that
though foemen, not enemies, he
sadly, and yet gladly, pays this last
tribute to one who was brave SOL
dier and a stainless gentleman.

The other day a stranger arrived
at Rubottom's Hotel, Spadra, and
engaged a room, registering under
the name of George Williams.
After awhile he announced that he
did not feel we'll and, with tho air
Of "Grand SeignioIu or Benan-
"a King, asked to be shown to a
room. OF course he was given the
best in the house, and his baggage,
consisting of carpet sack, about
the care of which he had given par
ticular orders, was sent up. The
next morning the distinguished
stranger did not come down to
breakfast and q messenger was dis
patchsd to bis room, but 10, he was
not there. An examination dis-
closed that when he left he had
taken the bed clothes and other
portable articles with him, but had
left his precious carpet sack behind.
An Investigation of its contents
showed two bricks and o lot of old
newspapers. Word was sent to
Constable Berry, of Pomona, who
started IN pursuit and at Cuca-
monga captured the thief and
brought him back to Pomona,
where he was examined before q
Magistrate and committed to the
county jail for 25 days.
John Dunham, one of the parties
convicted of burglary in the Coun.
ty Court yesterday, was put on the
stand and when asked where he
got pair of the stolen boots which
had been found in his posse ession,
said: On the night of the robbery
and several others slept in barn.
In the morning got up first and
finding good pair of boots lying
beside "J!mmy-Hit.the- -Wihd.a a.
Peit,' | put them on.

A Wisconsin girl put on trousers
and started through the deep snow
to walk six miles to village for
provisions, the family larder being
empty. She soon became tired out
besides losing her way, and the cold
was intense. A big Newfoundland
dog which accompanied her was
the means of saving her life. She
scooped out hollow in the snow,
lay down in it, and made the warm
dog lie on her, shifting him about
so as to succsssively cover the cold
est parts of her body. In that way
she passed whole night, and was
not very severely frostbitten.
"With two or three more dogs"
she says, II would have got along
very comfortably"

According to the account given
in Truth, the connection of the
Duke OF Sutherland with the Glas.
Cow Bank is one of the hardest
strokes OF i'll fortune ever dealt.
Some time ago the Dukes agent
owed him $4,000, which he wished
to pay by transferring to him four
shares of stock in the City Of Glas.
Cow Bank. One day he mentioned
this to the agent of the Caledonian
Bank, at Inverness, who said: "Oh,
never mind troubling the Duke;
we'll take the shares and credit his
Grace's account And this fatal
operation will probably cost the
uncionscious victim S5O0,Ooo.

A Birds Courtship and Death.

A lady who lives on Olive street relates
the following: A few days ago there fell
in front of her window from a tree a
"chippy," or ground bird, such as chatter
about the parks and streets. She picked
il up, carried it in the house, fed it frOEl
her own mouth and at night placed it in
the cage with her own canary. The Ca
nary at once bestowed upon the new
conner all the attention of a mother, and
nestled beside the little stranger during
the night In the morning the lady
placed the chippy in the window SO that
it might have the privilege of regaining
its freedom. 1t plumed its tiny wings
and went away. The canary mOurned
during the day as if he had lost his
mate. In the evening the chippy
came back and perched upon
the window. The sash was raised, and it
flew in and nestled upon the cage. The
canary at once struck up his livelIest notes,
and seemed gratified. This was repeated
two or three days, the chlppy going each
morning and returning in the evening.
One day it went away and did not come
back. The canary dropped, and the next
day fell dead from his perch in the sun
shine that played over the gilded cage in
the window. That night the chippy re
turned, and during the eevening it mourned
over its dead companion. In the morning
it clung to the cage until it was turned out
For a few days the empty cage was hung
IN the window, and on each succeeding
evening the chippy returned and chirpe6
as if it was grief-stricken. One day j
brought worm in its bill, dropped it il
the cage, flew away, and came back N
more.-[St. Louis Times.

Marriage Among the Australians.

In Australia, or elsewhere, tie of more
or less permanence and acknowledged
validity binds men to their partners. Mar
riage, again is surrounded, as among CIV
ilized people, by laws of forbidden
degrees" which are very curious, very lit
tie understood, and which in many ways
resemble, while in others they seem to
differ from. the laws of other undeveloped
peoples. Wives are chiefly obtained by
exchange. The dominant male of group
father, eldest brother or uncle-has the
customary right of swapping away the
young women of the group in exchange for
other young women whom it is lawful for
him to marry It is clear that old men
with families have the best chance of get
ting more wives, while young men with
no sisters are likely to remain bachelors.
If this system worked itself out, each tribe
would consist of few ovcrgrown harems
and a set of wild bachelors. As it hap
pens, young men and women revolt against
the old, and voluntary elopements or mar
riages by capture are common. The
course of true love runs anything but
smooth. The lover is exposed to the cor
deal of spears" which are hurled at him
by the relatives of the lady. The runaway
bride is beaten, perhaps her feet are spear
cd to prevent her from running away
again. If young pair are courageous
and true to each other, however, the SYM
pathy of the group usually comes round to
life 1t has been said that the old men
sometimes give wives to the young, who
thus take stock" as the ancient Irish
said, and become, in way, the vassals OF
tho old fellows. Society In Australia is
is not sufficiently advanced for it; but, &C.
cording to some authorities, a very Austria
liam state of things prevails in rural Russia

Egyptian Drcers.

In one of the most interesting documents
of Egyptian history, the inscription of the
Ethiopian Piankhi, the king, sending
forth his army TO conquer Egypt, gives
this warning to his soldiers: Take care,
watch, do not pass the night in the enjoy
ment of play" Brugsch, vol. 2. p. 233)
and, turning to the cases of our Museum
and the pages of Wilkinson, we find
the dice (some of them lOaded), which
attest passion common to human nature,
while the painted walls of the toombs ex.
hibit scenes of play at draughts (or
some such game,) and box of draughts-
men has been found at Thebes. We even
know the names of two kings, Rameses
III. and Psammetichus H., who have a
record of taste like that of Louis XVI
and Napoleon for chess; but we are not
told whether they also had courtiers who
dared. like the Due de Grammont. to re
prove their false moves.-tThe Quarterly
Review
