Our esteemed Democratic contemporary
OF the Queen City of the East seems to be
becoming alarmed lest the Portland end of
the Democratic party of Maine has been
converted to prohibition. The Commercial
may dismiss its fears. The Portland Democ-
racy have no more love for prohibition than
the Bangor Democracy, they are only play
Ing 'possum to catch the vote of temperance
men. IT'S the same old game the Democ
racy has been playing for years. The Com
mercial ought to be too familiar with it to
be deceived.

war, but the Colonel had to stay at home

Colonel was at that time thirteen years OF

by a cry: 1.-The ships rudder is lost!'
From the confident expression, oonster-
nation came to every face. The wheel
man being helpless to direct her course,
the vessel was at the mercy of wind

They Died in their Boots.
From the Two Republics.

From the Two Republics.
A wild story comes in from Periban,
Michoacan. Three well-mounted and
well-armed men stopped at an INN to
pass the night The woman who kept
the place advised the authorities that
three suspicious men had called at her
house. The President of the City
Council and the Judge, with a few citi-
zens, went to the house to see the sus-
picious characters. But the three men
locked themselves in their room and
refused to be interviewed. A crowd of
citizens was collected, but when they
appeared they were greeted with avol-
ley from the three men. An assault
was then made on the room, and the
prisoners, breaking out of the door,
fought their way through the crowd,
using their revolvers and daggers.
The crowd followed closely after the
fugitives, and many shots were ex-
changed.
Finally one of the fellows dropped;
even while dying he turned over and
fired on his pursuers. A second fell a
few steps further on, fighting hard.
The third, sheltering himself behind a
rock, made it warm for his pursuers,
and, though often wounded, fought on
with scarcely enough strength to draw
his rifle to his shoulder. Called on to
surrender, he only replied with a bull
ct, which relieved the President of his
hat. The crowd closed in around HIM
as the death mist was passing over
his eyes. Still he tried to pull the trig-
ger of his rifle FOR a parting shot, but
life and strength failed him. The
corpses were buried in Periban. They
-.ere supposed to be a part of Marcial
Braves bandit troop. During the
fight the citizens had fired 200 shots,
and of these nearly twenty had taken
effect on the bandits, who were torn
to pieces by the storm of lead. Sever
al of the citizens were wounded. The
bandits died like legendary heroes.

A ADMIRAL


He Cast the Heads of Thirteen Moors anro
aTub of Pork-Old John Denbow
From the London Telegraph.
A new war-ship was recent launch-
I'd in England which was named after
John Benboow, a famous admiral of
two centuries ago. He was descended
from an ancient Shropshire family,
which was reduced in fortune by its
staunch and loyal adhesion to the
cause of Charles l. Hisfather, Colonel
John Benhow, died when the future
admiral was very young, leaving no
other provision for the boy than that
indicated by the words he was 'bred
to the sea-" Before 80 he becamemas-
ter and part owner of the Benbow
frigate, employed in the Mediterranean
trade, in which he would doubtless
have acquired a comfortable fortune
adnot accident brought him into
the royal navy. In 1856 he was at
tackled upon his passage to Cadiz bya
Sallee rover, against whom, though
fearfully overmatched, he defended his
ship with heroic bravery. Although
the Moors boarded him, they were
quickly beaten out of the ship with
the loss of 13 men, whose heads Cap
tain Benbow ordered to be cut off and
thrown into a tub of pork pickle.
When he arrived at Cadiz he went
ashore and directed his negro servants
to follow him with the heads of the
Moors in a sack. Scarcely had he
landed before the revenue officers IL
quired what he had got in that sack.
"Salt provisions for my own USE"
curtly replied the gallant tar. The
custom-house officials demanded to
see them, but Capt. Benbow refused.
He was then informed that the magis-
trates were sitting, and that he would
have to go before them He was treat
ed with great civility and told that as
the salt provisions were of no conse-
quence, he could not object to show
them.
Cesar" exclaimed the stern old
sailor, turning to his servant, "throw
them on the table; they are verymuch
at the service of these gentlemen, if
they like to partake of them!" The
S~paniards were SO struck at the sight
of the Moors' heads, and by the mar
rative of the action in which their
former owners fell, that a report of
the circumstances was despatched to
the court at Madrid, where Charles
H., then King of Spain, invited Cap
tain Benbow to pay him a visit. His
Catholic majesty sent the gallant
Englishman on his way with a
letter addressed to King James
II. of England in it's bearers
favor. On arriving in London
Benbow was appointed to a commits
sion in the royal navy and the story
of his action in the Mediterranean be
came SO popular in the rough time
prevailing in this and every other
country two centuries since, that the
"Moor's Head" and the "Saracen's
Head" soon became a favorite signfor
public houses scattered throughout
the length and breadth of the islands.
Such is the first of the inspiring menu
cries recalled by "Old Benbow's"
name, which typifes the intimate and
cordial connection which has always
supsisted, and never more than at
this moment, between the royal and
the mercantile navies of 1.-The mistress
of the seas"

Facts furnish practical evidence O

Facts furnish practical evidence of
the agricultural adversely in England.
Land in Norfolk which eight years
ago let for So shillings an acre is now
to be had at 16 shillings, the average
gross rental at lettings by auction being
no more than one-third what it was
eight years ago. Word to the same
effect comes from Somerset and Hamp-
shire, and it would appear that the
value of land in the past four Or five
years has fallen in England even in a
greater degree than In Ireland.
