A Grand Old Frigate.

According to the New York Sun the fol-
lowing are the chief exploits of the frigate
Constitution, or "Old Ironsides," as she was
generally called: "She began her carreer,in
the Tripolitan War in 1904 engaging against
batteries mounting lis guns at Tripoli, and
her broadsides assisted in recapturing 800
American sailors who had been captured
by the Tripolitans from on board of the
frigate Philadelphia. In the war AGAINST
Great Britain, in 1912, she gained her famous
victory over the British frigate Guerrero on
August 49, On December 20 following the
Constitution had an engagement with the
British frigate Java, and after hot contest
took her as prize. The following year. on
a cruise of the coast of Guinea and among
the Windward Islands, she captured
the British sloop-ofwar Picton, letter OF
marque, and several merchant vessels. She
barely escaped being captured by British
feet in 1914 by taking refuge in The harDor
of Salem, Mass. On February 20, 1914, dur
ing another cruise, she captured after an
action of forty-five minues at night, the
British frigate Cyane and the British sloor

POLITICAL.


Per announcement in last weeks LEADER,
a meeting was held at Zion Baptist Church
Thursday evening, with Conrad Burnley,
President, and j. III. Paine, secretary, for the
purpose of discussing the political situation,
The meeting was well attended and several
speeches were made, which in the main were
appropriate and had the right ring. Several
persons who are now in office and who are
candidates for denomination, received some
very hard but justifable knocks. The senti.

"Ouida'Sv Waits.
AFTER LONG YEARS.

Let my poor heart be, old friend!
You would not step upon grave!
Why seek that hard-earned peace to rend
Long hours of weary silence gave.
We meet tonight with careless speech,
Who parted last with scorn and tears,
And strive with clasping hands to reach
Across the gulf of Vanished years.
But all too wide that deep abyss
We opened in our bitter pride;
And in il lies the youth we miss,
While we gaze down on either side.
And mourn the waste and utter loss
For which regret has come too late;
For never more may we recrOss
The broken plank that men call Fate.
Then, since our pathways separate tend,
Ali let the past in sorrow rest;
My thoughts go with you to the end
wish you all life's gifts, and best.
But, as for me, each starved desire
Turns from its vainly answered prayer;
To ashen-gray died passions fire,
And hope lies buried in despair.

1t seems that poor Carter is o
tering the proverbial ungratefnlness OF
Republics. He has not propered since
he abandoned the field of Louisiana
politics. He was sent by Garfield to
some obscure South American mission,
to supercede John Baker, an Illinois
man. Senator Logan foughto against
and prevented Carriers confirmation,
Arthur withdrew his name, while
promising to do something for the hap
less free lancer. Lately, when Carter
reappeared in this country, Arthur, IN
reply to some inquiries said that he
really had not had time to think OF him.
Carriers ill-luck reminded us OF a bit
of unwritten history we heard related
about him by one who was in a position
to know all about his appearance IN
Louisiana during the Carpet-Bag re-
gime. The story ran thus
There appeared one day in War
moths presence, a seedy looking lndi-
vidual of good address, who soon i'm
pressed Warmoth with the belief thai
he could he made useful in the Legls-
lature of that time. The Prince OF
Carpet aggers, %thereupon, supplied
him with funds, and in a short while
George w. Carter appeared as a he
publican candidate for the House in
one Of the city wards. He failed to be
elected. however, and reported for
fresh instructions at headquarters,
Warmoth was anxious to have him in
that body, so that he locked up in a
pigeon hole, a bill creating the parish
of Cameron and signed it. He then
caused a batch of blank commissions
for all the ~parochial officers to be given
to- Carter, ~instluctipg him to go out
there and have himself elected repre-
sentative, by the three hundred voters
of the little parish; else nev to ap-
proach him again. Carter repaired to
Cameron, interviewed the most in1uen-
tial people there, and by filing the
commissions with the names of those
who pledged him their support, he re-
turned triumphant to New Orleans to
be elected Speaker of the Warmoth
House of Representatives. But, after
awhile, Carter grew too big for his
breeches, and turned against his bene-
factor. Every body remembers the
Carter war and the fasco which ended
it. The poor devil was again adritt
and was thought to have died some
where, unhousred and unsung, till he
was resurrected by the newspapers in
| the manner described in the pre&ace.
| Carriers antecedents are we'll known.
He was a minister of the gospel till he
became the Colonel of a regiment OF
Confederate cavalry. At the close OF
the wal he returned to the pulpit bat
failed to fill the bill in that capacity
Hence his entry in the arena of politics.
The poor fellow isnow in the mourn,
er's bench, waiting with hunger under
his vest till he is called mp to occupy a
seat in the amen corner.

A Judges Charge, with Varia-
tionS, p

The following comes from Georgia,
and, it's accuracy is vouched for by the
s~tenographer who took it down Judge
- was noted fer the way he got
mixed in his charges to the jury. On
one occasion a case was tried before
him, the points of which may be briefly
stated TINS: Smith brought suit against
Jones upon a promissory note given
for a horse. Jones' defence was failure
of consideration, he averring that at
the time of the purchase the horse had
the CHAMBERS, of which lie died, and
that Smith knew it. Smith replied
that the horse did not have the CLAN
ders, but the distemper, and that Jones
knew it when he bought it. The'Judge
then charged the jury. Gentlemen
of the jury, pay attention to the charge
of court You have already made n
mistrial of this case because you did
not pay attention to the charge OF the
court. and [ don't want yon to do 1t
again. I intend to make it SO clear to
YOU that you cannot possibly make
any mistake. This suit is on a note
given for a promisory horse. | hope
YOU understand that. Now, if at the
time of the sale Smith had the gland
ers. aud Jones knew it, jones cannot
recover. This is clear, gentlemen. |
will state it again, If you find at the
time of the sale Jones had the distem-
per, and Smith knew it, then Smith
cannot cov But, gentlemen, |
will state it a third time, SD that you
cannot possibly make ii mistake. If
at, the time of the sale Smith had the
CHAMBERS, and Jones had the distemper,
and the horse knew it, then neither
Smith, Jones, nor the horse can recov-
er. Let the record be given to the jury

This is certainly a progressive age.
Another improvement in the telephone
is announced as a certainty, although
it is not yet prepared to show just
how much advance it makes upon the
methods and instruments already in
use. It is by IN electrician of the Bell
Telephone company, Boston, and it is
reported that through it conversation
has already been held clearly and dis
tinctly between Boston and New York.
The promise is hal it will transmit tile
voice to any required distance, and
finally supercede the telegraph. The
inventor claims that it will convey
messages of human speech between
New York and London as distinctly as
they are now transmitted over a dis
lance of a few miles, and some electri-
clans who have seen the experiments
made with it are of the opinion that
the claim is we'll founded. Converse
tion between friends in London and
New York is now one Of the strong pro-
liabilities.

Washington and Grant.

@
The American Register predicts that
the bill placing Grant on the retired
list will not move him ont of the way
politically, but, on the other hand,
will make him mere arrogant and pre-
sumptuous and keep him in the field as
a presidential candidate in 1854. In
case of nomination and election, in the
four years he would receive 100000
in salary, $240, GOO in subsidies Ito say
nothing of private gifts and a liberal
share of spells arising from bills of
questionable proprietyl, and between
forty and fifty thousand dollars as a
life time pensioner on the government ;
for no one believes that he would re-
fuse to accept the yearly pension of
ten or twelve thousand dollars simply
because he was President. So his pay
in four years would aggregate $780,
900, and he is already a rich man.
AS the reverse of this picture /:
Washington even declined to receive
his salary, either as general of the
army or as President, simply requiring
his expenses to be paid, and giving his
time to his country without compensa-
ton !; and when a present was offered
to him, he treated it as an indignity
and attempt to substitute him. Wash
ington was an illustration of elevated
purity and integrity and disinterested
patriotism. Grant is an illustration of
the sordid degeneracy of the times.
And it is a sad reflection ON the serious
question at this day presented, whether
there is public virtue and patriotism
enough left among us to furnish any
guarantee of the continuance of the
people for any great length of time.

Real Life Among the NEormons,
ISalt Lake Tribune.

ISalt Lake Tribuiie.l
It was a soft and balmy night in
spring; the burning sunset was hang
ing its golden tapestries across the
mellow west, and the electric light was
iust beginning to fz and spit along the
main streets, when Elder Sncozer was
sitting In the elegant boudoir Of Widow
Smith, whose rich brown eyes and de-
sirable real estate penetrated the bach
elor's Utmost thoughts. .Can you,
Sarah he said, throwing his enormous
hand upon her shoulder, on the further
side, " come to my home in the Second
ward, where | will be your slave?
Will that squint- eyed first wife of
yours be made to stand around when !
ceme 2"
aWhen your dulcet voice sounds
through tile ancestral halls Hannah
will get to the coal bin. She will have
about five hours Of sleep . day and
work for you the balance of the time"
Inside of a week they passed through
the Endowment House, where Elder
Wells made them one. Old Snoozer
took in a fine piece Of real estate with
a good looking woman and was happy.
Two years passed, and the once beauti
full Sarah, bending over the washtub
and lamming the endowment robe of
the1tlird wife yiciously against q tree
until the snds falling over the tender
flowers gave them new life in the hot
July sun, is the sort of pleasure the
passing bullWhacker contemplates.
How do you like the new dealt"
asks the first wife, who is choppiDg
wood hard by. And the language of
wife No. 2 is not fit to print in a family
newspaper.
