Capt. Clarke'S Career.

The San Francisco Bulletin saws:
Capt. Clarke, Of the American ship
Frank N. Thaycr. the mutiny Of whose
crew off Cape of Good Hope was an
nounced by telegraph last Saturday, was
the central figure in one of the most
prominent criminal trials in the history
of this city. He brought the American
ship Sunrise into this port in the sum-
mer of 1873, and shortly aftcrward was
charged by his crew with various acts of
cruelty. He and his two mates, Harris
and Maloney, were tried by %jurics. be-
fore Judges Sawyer nj Hoffman, the
trials being lengthy and attracting wide
attention. Clarke and his counsel in
sisted that the charges had bccn magni-
lied by the press. On Oct. % Clarke
was convicted on eve of the fourteen
counts in the indictment against him. A
month later the first mate was convicted
on "a counts for cruelty. The other,
mate pleaded guilty. The captain was
sentenced by Judge Sawyer to fourteen
months imprisonment in the county Jail
and to pay a fine of 81, 900. Mate Har-
ris was sent to the State prison for four
years. and Maloney to the county Jail
for two months. The latter died after
three weeks confinement. Capt. Clarke's
fine was paid and he was soon released
from Jail under n pardon from President
Grant. Meanwhile his aged father had
come out from Boston and taken COM
mand of the ship, and sailed out of
port. Capt. Clarke's wife had sailed
with him On his voyage on the Sunrise,
and testified on the tri Il, her evidence
being Of a negative character. While
these proceedings were pending great
indignation was caused by the act of
the United States Marshal in conducting
the witnesses from the county Jail to
court room in irons. These were the
crew who had been taken into custody
to insure their tcstifying. The act of
Handwriting them vas denounced by
Gen. Barnes, William Hayes, Tully r.
Wise, John M. Burnett, George F.
Sharp, S. NJ. Wilson, Robert c. Rogers,
Gov. Haight, Charles Ben. Darwin, E.
D. Sawyer, and Judges Lake and
Dwinelle.

After Black berries.

While lying in the rifle-pit;, one day,
before Port Hudson, SAYS u writer in
the Fdcth I witnessed the coolest per-
Torrance I ever saw during the war.
Just across the road from where I lay,
behind q cotton bale, was a regular
jungle Of blackbcrries, ard they were
nice ones, so very nice as to tempt the
appetite of a soldier, SO that he was
bound to have some of them at all events.
So out he e for the berries; hut not
long was he permitted to eat un-
disturbed, for he was quickly spied by q
rebel rifleman inside of the works, about
five hundred yards away, who soon sent
his compliments to Mr.. Bcrrypicker in
the shape OF q ball from his rifle. Moth
ing daunted, however, at such a trif1e
as that, the fellow kept on eating ber-
RIGS, in the meantime keeping q close
watch on the brcastworks; and every
time he would sec a Puff of smoke he
would move so that by the time the ball
arrived where he was he was o there.
To show how good the rebel was with a
rifle. the last shot he made ut the berry
picker will suffice. After eating all the
berries he cared to, the soldier started
across the road and there the rebel
had a clear sweep at him, and Just as he
got t the middle of the road fired; the
soldier stopped, and suddenly stepped
back one step, and ! saw the dust fly
right in front of his foot, so if lie had
stood still instead Of stepping back thea
ball would have struck right between
his feet.

General Grant Badly Beaten.

A Galcna letter to the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, says: I heard an amusing story a
day or W ago about the Grant boys.
when they were children ut Galcna. The
family lived in Il plain, two-story brick
house, on High street, which since the
General first began to achieve greatness
has becn an object of interest to tourists
and strangers visiting the city. Their
nearest and most intimate neirhbors
were the family of A. NJ. Haincs. The
Halnes' and the Grant children were fast
friends during the residence of the latter
Mt High street. The boys of each family
had Il game rooster, and were wont to
PIT the fowls against each other when
ever n favorable opportunity presented
itself. The Grant rooster was named
General Grant" and was a very gamey
bird, usually coming out first best in the
contests. The Hams fowl was christcned
jeff Davis" not, however, from any
owe the young owners entertained for
It's traltorous namcsakc.
On one occasion the two birds were
set to fighting, and in the battle the
Halncs fowl whipped General Grant"
badly, and drove him from the field.
The contest between these two chiefs of
n roost took place ut a time when
Grant and Pembcrton were pittcd
against each other at Vicksburg, and
when it began to look as though the
former would have to give up the idea
OF capturing the city. News was brought
to Mrs. Grant almost hourly from the
seat Of WAR, and that lady, as Il matter of
course, was very anxious about the result,
although she knew that sooner or later
'Clyss" would get there. A messenger
had just left the house, after handing
Mrs. Grant a somewhat discouraging
dispatch, when in rushed her boys, Fred
and Buck, shouting Indignantly,
''Mother, General Grant has been lick
ed! General Grant" has been licked!"
81 guess not, my children" said the
mother coolly, who at first gravcly
imagined hat some later intelligence
than she had received had come from
the front. Eyes, he has," SAID Fred
Indignantly; Jeff Davis licked him
Just now. behind Mr.. Haincs's barn, and
If that bird don't go into the pot it will
be because can't catch. it to wiring it's
neck" General Grant," 1t is related,
suffered nm ignominious death that night,
and next day furnished a meal for the
family.

THOSE DEAD TREASURES.

les, ! have nursed them In my heart thro'
evil and thro' good
Those earnest thoughts and feelings deep and
hopes half understood;
Fen as the treasured honey food is guarded
by the bee,
30 have kept my precious store to waste it all
on thee.
Like roses strewn upon a grave-the cold, un-
conscious dead
Knows not and cares not that they cast their
fragrance DER his bed.
I would not chide, I would not blame, nor
fruitlessly repine
That I have found thy heart to be a heart I'M
worthy mine.
A sculptured form 80 like to life it seemed to
breathe and smile,
And I believed 1t felt and ~loved-'twas marble
all the while
Yet keep the gift thou valuest not-keep it and
still be free
The treasured wealth Of many years were use
A less now to mo
Twas given-I would not call it back, nor idly
mourn my loss,
But what God hath sent take instead and
humbly kiss the cross.

A Flendish Plot Discovered.

One of the most diabolical plots aver
planned to overthrow a government has
just been discovered in Guatemala, the
most thriving Republic of Central
America. 1t was a scheme to set fire to
the Grand Hotel and the theatre at "a
given time when there might be ex-
pected to be a full house. In the panic
that would certainly ensue tho intention
of the conspirators was to take posses
sion of the barracks without any great
risk to themselves. President Barrillas
and his family were to be murdered, all
foreigners attacked and the city sacked.
The discovery of the plan led to the
arrest of about fifty persons, including
some colonies in the army, and they are
now undergoing trial for their treason
able designs.

Senator Sherman's Adopted Daughter

A newspaper correspondent says: I
understand that the adopted dau ghter
of Senator Sherman has become a great
comfort to him, both from her affection
and her accomplishments. His wife
heard her husband express the desire to
have some children to bring up, and
she understood that in New York were
two fine children, the daughters of a
French couple who came to this coun-
try, and here the husband lost his wife.
He was SO disconsolate that he refused
to stay in the land which he accused of
having caused the death of his partner.
So he gave his children to nm institu-
ton, and hearing about them Mrs.
Sherman came over to New York and it
is said that she personally, without as
sistan.e e, carried those two infants to
Washington in the night. One of them
died before it was two years old. The
other was sent abroad to be educated,
and while there some informing person
told the girl that she was not the child
of the Senator and his wife. It made
her so unhappy that she was unable to
stay in France and insisted upon COM
ing home. The incident, however, Sc
cured yet more of the affection of her
adopters and they are realizing es much
joy in the object Of their care as if she
were their own.

Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock.

A gentleman who knew the late Gen.
Hancock intimately, thus described his
personal appearance :-''Hancock istall,
we'll formed and handsome. His height
cannot be less than six feet two inches,
and he weighs fully two hundred and
forty pounds. His form towers above
other men, and he attracts attention by
his mere looks wherever he goes. His
eyes are blue and have q benignant and
mild expression when in reposc, but in
spring when in danger. His manner
is dignified and knightly and he Is
courtesy itself. He is always magnetic,
and draws men to him by his kindlincss
and gentle interest in their affairs. His
sympathies are easily aroused, and he
becomes intensely concerned for the
sorrows and misfortunes of others, striv-
ing in every way to relieve them, as
though their troubles were his own.
Hancock's kindness to his subordinatcs
always won not only their love, but also
their confidence, and caused them to
rely on him as a friend as we'll as COM
mander. He gave o man q good opin-
ion of himself, and made each me feel
he was of more importance than he ever
before suspected. 1t was this which
caused him to have such power over his
officers and men in battle, and made
them prefer rather to die than to forfeit
the good opinion of their leader"
General Hancock had two children,
Russell Hancock and Ada Elizabeth
Hancock. The latter died in New
York, of typhoid fever, when eighteen
years of age. She was a young lady of
great promise. Russell Hancock, the
Generals only son, who was a planter
in Clarksville, Miss, died suddenly at
the age of thirty three, in December,
1884.

A LYNCHlNG PARTY.

Al about 1880 O'Clock last night a
large body Of men, variously esti
mated between $50 to 200 mar
ched into the city from various
directions and proceeding 10 the
machine shop of M. j. Duty; forced
that gentleman to furnish them with
a sledge hammer, procuring which
they then proceeded to the Jail and be-
gan battering down the door. Sheriff
Mcclure and his deputies Mess. Brooks
and Simpson, were in the Sherif's
Office in the Courthouse at the time
and when they began battering down
the doors went over to the Jail, but
they promptly covered them with
guns and emphatically informed
them that they had better
not attempt to interfere, as bust.
ness was meant and they were liable
to get hurt for their interference. After
gaining admittance to the Jail they went
to the cell wherein was confined
George Robinson, colored, charged
with the killing of Millard F. Parker
on the night of December 18th, last
year and took him out. They then
started off toward the east end OF town
and when near the freight depot OF
the V. S. & P. r. r., adjusted the
nooze and swung the prisoner into
eternity The facts Of the killing OF
Willard Parker are yet fresh in the
minds of our readers and it is unnes-
cessary to review them here, neither il
there any use to express an opinion, or
which, everybody familiar with the
case is competent to do.
We regret the occurrence, however
} because we know that ii will injur'
the city in many ways and hurt thu
good name of the parish to some ex
tent. The above are the facts onl.
and we leave our readers to draw the:
own deductions therefrom.

We learn that an effort will be made
towards celebration of Mardi Gras
ia this city this year in manner SIM
liar, though by no means as extensive,
as that day is celebrated at New Or

OF this nature could not be successfully
accomplished, as many Of our young
friends have signified their willingness
to take part for one day.
