ADMIRAL SEYMOUR.

The British naval commander who
drove Arab Pasha out of Alexandria
having demolished the principal forts
in the harbor of that city by bonn
bardment, which demonstrated the
power of ironclads in manner never
before shown, is man who has seen
much service in different parts of the
world. A sketch of his life cannot
fail to interest and please our readers:
Sir Frederick Beauchamp Paget
Seymour sprung from a collateral
branch of the Marquis of Hertford's
family, and both by tradition and
profession, is identified with the royal
navy. His father was the late Col.
Sir Horace Beauchamp Seymour, K.
G. B., M. P, and Sir Frederick, the
present vice-admiral, was born in
1921. After having been educated
at Elton college, he entered the royal
navy in 1884 as a cadet. In two
years time he passed as midshipman
and then after having passed through
the intermediate grades of mate,
lieutenant and commander, in 1847,
obtained the rank of post captain in
1854. Meanwhile he had served with
distinction in Burmah as we'll as in
the New Zealand wars in 1928 and
that of l860-1, being severely wound
ed in the last while commanding a
naval brigade, and invalided for a
time. For his services he was Great
ed commander of the bath in 1861.
From 1902 he was commodore in
command on the Australian station.
He held the Office of naval aid-de-
camp to her Majesty from 1866-70.
From 1872 to 1874 he was a lord of
the admiralty under Mr.. Gladstone's
auspices, resigning the Office on being
appointed to the command of the
Channel feet. This important posi-
ton he filled till 1877, when he was
created knight commander of the
bath. In 1880 he was appointed to
the command of the Mediterranean
squadron, in virtue of which he is
now in command before Alexandria.
He was promoted to flag rank as
rear-admiral in 1870, being vice-ap-
miral in 1876.

INNOCENCE ABROAD.

McGilpin is one of the best drum
mers that ever travelled over a South
ern road; but the best of them will
sometimes get left. He boarded
the cars at Memphis one morning,
and as the train slowly pulled out of
the depot, he lelsurely walked through
the first coach searching, with the
practiced eye of a commercial travel
er, for the seat where he could have
the most fun. He found it. About
half way down the second car sat a
lovely young girl, gazing with dreamy
eyes from the open window. ''Mac"
brought out his best smile for the
occasion, and said, suavely:
"May 1 share this seat with you,
MADAME

window and said, with a charming
blush that made s'Mac" determined
inwardly to have some fun at this in

and then settled down to business.
''I'm from the NORTH" he said, by
way of opening up conversation,
sin fact, I'm touring pilgrim for a

then, with happy thought, as the

he saw genuine southern mule,
gaunt as death, in an adjacent field:

THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF
POVERTY.

Poverty, as we must all own, need
not of necessity be squalid. Cross
the channel and take a look at the
continental towns and cities. There
the life of the lower classes has its
picturesque side; the result, or pos
sibly the cause of natural taste for
the beautiful being developed even
in the poorest peasant. The fisher
girls upon the opposite coast deck
their person as we'll as their homes,
and go about their daily tasks un-
conscious models for the artist. The
blue-bloused peasant working in the
fields must supply his bit of color to
complete the landscape; and the
bourgeois condemned to town life
would not suffer about him the sad
colored houses and sombre surround
ings which we allow under our gray
skies. What a cost of stored up
pictures crowd into the mind, as
memory fills in the pleasant back
ground of poor mans life abroad.
Even the lazy lazzaroni who lounge
through life under Italian skies ask
their aims upon palace steps, amid
the plash of fountains and the scent
of orange groves. But what a re-
voting contrast presents itself when
we think of poor man's life at home
in Seven Diald or similar slums, the
Augean stables of civilization, whose
cleansing and beautifying must
needs prove a herculean task
And sight is not the only the
sense gratified upon the other side of
the channel. The ear is pleased as
well as the eye. Open air concerts
are put within the reach of the peo-
pie at mere nominal cost or at nc
cost at all. The German imbibes
with his beer refreshing draught OF
music, which elevates him above the
mere sensual enjoyment of the mo-
ment. The mountaineer wends his
way cheerily from Alp to Alp, and
peasant voices everywhere lend them
selves almost unconsciously to a
ssconcord of sweet Sounds" which
makes the wheel of life revolve
smoothly and harmoniously.-Chona-
ber's Journal.

A FAITHFUL LovER.-Miss Eliza
beth Drinkhouse, who died recently
in Philadelphia, at the age of ninety
six, was daughter of Jacob Drink
house, of Revolutionary War fame.
He died twenty-five years ago, at
the age of ninty-nine years. When
Miss Drinkhouse was young and the
belle of Pottstown sne became en-
gagged to be married to Joseph Min
tier, one of the most promising
young men of the place, but before
the wedding-day her lover died. The
surviving lover declared that she
would never marry, and remained
true to the memory of her betrothed
for three-quarters of century.
When she was dying she requested
that the gold engagement ring which
young Mintzer had placed on her
finger in the happy days of her girl
hood might be placed on her hand
and be buried with her. She had
cherished this love-token throughout
her long life.

spars and rigging of the doomed ship
were soon in tangle of wreckage.
Porter slipped his cable, and hoist
ing his fyingjib, bore down upon
the enemy, pouring broadsides into
them as the ship slowly drifted.
The "Cherub" was driven off for
second time, and the 'sPhebe" retir-
ed out of the reach of the guns of
of the Essex" but near enough to
worry her with her long-range ord
nance. After two hours of fighting,
Porter, tried to run his vessel ashore,
to prevent her falling into the hands
of the enemy; but change of wind
prevented him, and he anchored once
more. making fast sheet-anchor
with a hawser.
Very shortly after, the hawser
parted, and to increase the trials of
these determined heroes, the ship
took fire below deck. In this ex-
tremity, Captain Porter told the men
to save themselves as best they
could. Some threw themselves into
the sea and swan to the shore, some
were drowned, and many were pick
ed up, while clinging to bits of
wreck, by the boats of the enemy.
But larger part of the crew staid
by the ship, and continued firing into
the enemy, in the midst of the smoke
and flames. Finally, the fire was
partly subdued, and men enough to
work two of the long twelves kept
up a brisk fire.
But further resistance was useless.
Only seventy-five men were left to
do duty, the remainder being killed,
wounded, or missing. So, after an
engagement that had lasted two
hours and half, Porter, with sor-
rowful heart, hauled down the Amer
lean flag, and the wreck of the gal
liant "Essex" was surrendered to the
| foe. The British lost four killed and
seven wounded on the ''Phebe," and
! one killed and three wounded on the
"Cherub." Both ships were badly
crippled, their sails and rigging be-
ing riddled, and the sPhebe" had
received eighteen shots below water
line from the long twelves of the
Essex" Thousands of spectators
crowded the shores to gaze on the
the bloody encounter. The Spanish
Viceroy was vainly entreated by the
American Consul to insist upon the
maintenance of neutrality. He re-
fused to interfere.
Thus ended one of the most re.
markable naval engagements of mod.
ern times. 1t ended in disaster tC
the American cause. But the heroic
defense Of the Essex in which
officers and men. We'd with one an
other in determination not to give
up the ship, fired with fresh enthu

brave and obstinate fight. And

a hearty cheer for David Porter an(

VANISHED HOURS.

Where are they gone. those dear dead days,
Those sweet past days of long ago,
Whose ghosts go floating to and fro
When evening lends US through her maze?
Where are they gone All! who can tel?
Who weave once more that long passed spell?
They did exist when We were young,
We met our life with strength and trust,
We deemed all things were pure and just,
Nor knew life had double tongue.
We lightly sang happy song,
Nor dreamed our way could e'er be wrong.
And then all changed; as life went by,
The friend deceived or bitter death
Smiled as he drank our dear ones breath,
And would not let us also die.
Day followed day; as on they went
Each took some gift that life had sent.
Yet it was ours, that perfect pastl
We did have days that knew no pain,
We once had friends death had not taken,
And flowers and songs that could not last
Were ours in that most blessed time.
When earth seemed Heavens enchanted Cline
And SO think, when lights burned low
And all the house is fast asleep,
From out a silence vast and deep
Those dear dead days we worshipped so,
Breathe on us from their hidden store
Their long-lost place. their faith once more.
God kee p those dear old times; ah mel
Beyond our vision they may rest
Till on some perfect day and blest
Once more those dear dead days will be.
For death, who took all, may restore
The past we loved, TO US once more.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN,

The prize offered to the most beau
tiful woman at the peoples festival
in Buda Pesth, Hungary, created
national sensation, and attracted an
immense multitude to witness the
competition. Over $50 women pre-
sented themselves before the bench
of judges. They were inspected one
at time, and each candidate as soon
as judged was passed on to a waiting
room. When the whole number had
been reviewed they were again taken
before the judges singly, and finally
all were placed together in line.
After critical inspection, the ten
most beautiful ones were selected
and the rest dismissed, and then
from this smaller number the two
loveliest of all were chosen for the
first and second prizes. But this
was work of difficulty, and was not
settled to the satisfaction of all.
The victor in the tournament was Miss
Cornelia Szekely, maiden of l6, the
daughter of an official in the impe-
rial household, Her claims to beau
ty rest upon charming, transparent
complexion, melting brown eyes, a
small mouth, rich dark-brown hair,
and form of youthful grace; but
her features are not wholly regular,
and the mouth and the head are not
perfect in shape. Her photograh,
taken in a dress that is being made
for her by the first dressmaker OF
Hungary, is to be sent to all illustrat-
ed journals of Europe for pnblica-

ton. The prizes were bracelets of
gold inlaid with precious stones and
of rare workmanship. This compet-
ition is said to have shown the Hun
garians that they can boast of every
type of female lovellness, and they
are taking advantage of the privi-
lepe.

SOME VULGARITIES OF
"GOOD SOCIETY"

Asking questions, private and per-
sonal, is one vulgar habit and tell
ing your own business, which no one
wants to hear, is another. Trying
to find out the cost of a present that
has been made to you; ''pumping"
a servent; loud talking in public;
hard staring at the table; insolent
disrespect to husband, wife, sister OF
brother; showing temper in trifes
and making scenes in public; show
ing an embarrassing amount of fond
ness, and making love in public;
covert sneers, of which people can
see the animus, if they do not always
understand the drift persistent ego
tism, which talks forever of itself,
itself, itself, and cannot even feign
the most passing interest in any an
other; detraction of ones friends,
and it may be of relations hus-
band telling of his wife's unpleas-
antness, a wife complaining of her
husbands faults the bold assump-
ton of superiority, and the seryile
confession of infinite unworthiness
all these are signs and evidences of
vulgarity -vulgarity of far worse
type then that which eats its fish
with a steel knife, and says ''you
was" and "each of the men were. /"
In fact, true vulgarity resolves it
self into that central point of evil
selfishness. The unselfsh can be
really vulgar. They may be un-
couth, but they cannot be more !;
while the best top dressing of man
ner to be found in the whole world
cannot make the substance refined,
where that one foul canker of ego
tism and Indifference to others lie at
the heart of things.
THE INCONSISTENCY OF MAN.-Scheming, DIVERSE
and manifold advertisements of worthless goods will
attract profitable customers, only mertorous
articles such as Swaynes Ointment for skin diseases
recognized and sought after by the people. Real
worth always receives It's just merit. man may
profit for a while by imposing upon the public, but it
is only question of time when he will reach the end
of his rope. Man has dared to donbt the efficacy
of this great vegetable op tment.
