Farragut in Mobile Bay,

The smoke became so thick that
little could be seen from our decks.
The Admiral, who had remained about
the poop deck and lower mizzen rig
ging, now came forward, with about
four fathoms of small rope coiled in
his left hand. Springingfrom gun to
the hammock netting, hestarted slow.

more absorbed in watching the battle
with his glasses than in his own move
merits. He fingered for q while hall
way up, but as the smoke thickene,l
he continued the ascent until he was
directly under the top. Here he pass
ed an end Of the rope over one Of the
puttock shrouds. and, getting between
both parts, which formed a long loop
coming under his arms, he held the,
ends at his breast with his left hand
while he used his glasses with his right.
He remained in this position through
most of the battle, but just as we en-
tered the bay he went into the top
with the pilot. The above is all there
was to the historic and interesting
story about his being lashed to the
mast. ashington Star.

Rewarding Dignified Honesty.

From the Chicago News.
A very small newsboy stood at the
corner Of Superior and Clark streets
a few days ago. Under his arm
was solitary and bespattered copy Of
the noon edition of the Daily News.
Satisfied either by the plethoric con-
dition OF his pocket, caused by sue
cessful run of business, or by the
warmth of the sun he disdained to call
his wares.
A rotund and austere officer OF the
North Side Street Railway Company
passed. He stopped abruptly, ep-

said: "News, boy,' at the same time

Punishment Of Criminals.

"Adark cells not an adequate pun
ishment for desperado," says MIR.
Baker, Superintendent OF the New
York State Prisons. "Why, l have
known prisoners to get lat by being
confined in the dark cell on a diet OF
bread and water. They seem to curl
up and go to sleep contentedly, like

lnt1iction is needed to bring them to

Tourists in California.
/ the San Francisco Bulletin,

From the San Francisco Bulletin
A we'll informed citizen the other
day gave it as his opinion that. there
were not less than 10000 invalid
tourists i'll California. He qualified
his statement by saying that there
were at least that number of persons
who had come to the Sta te during
the Winter months for considerations
OF health. These do not represent all
who have come here as tourists. It
is safe to say that there are as many
more who have entered the State
since the 1st OF last December for
business considerations quite aside
from health. Whoever has examined
closely the list OF arrivals by rail will
be struck with this new immigration
feature. There can be no doubt that
this Winter influx OF population is
intimately connected with thts ros-
perity OF the State. Already the
industrial character OF Southern
California has been entirely changed
It amounts to a revolution. The
10000 Winter tourists in California
are rather the small number in ad-
vance, because in this Spring month
the current OF travel to California
never Was SO strong. This is partly
on account OF the low fares. Account,
however, must be taken OF q consider
able outward drift Thousands are
taking advantage of low rates to visit
the Eastern States. But nearly all of
them will return. Never before could
the travler cross the Continent for so
small an expenditure or with so much
comfort. There are crowds around
all the ticket offices. New announce
ments are made nearly every day. It
ls a common expression that it is
cheaper to travel than to stay at
home. The competition which results
in rate cutting will probably not last
long. The overland trains are long,
and the incoming trains are even
longer. Travellers are everywhere
They fill the country hotels, inquire
about lands and crops, and make
investments here and there which
appear to be quite free from any
speculative excitement. The past
Winter has contributed greatly to the
enjoyment OF tourists There has been
very little rough weather. The rains
came down seasonably. The face of
the country was fresh with spring:ng
grass in December. Wild flowers We're
on the hillsides before New Years.
The fields ofgrain were, in many cases,
so rank at midwinter that cattle were
turned in to pasture them down. The
roads were muddy, but mud is quite
as agreeable as dust. In the middle
OF March the orchards are in bloom,
the soft breezes OF Spring ripple the
grain fields, the showers come at the
right time to keep the grass fresh and
to make all the gardens bloom.

How Actresses Kiss.
the New 81 York Sun

From the New York Sun.
The last time that the beautiful Ade-
laide Nelson played Juliet in New York
she had bade Romeo a lingering fare
well and was turning away from the
balcony, when sudden whim seemed
to seize her, and, wheeling about swift
", she caught his face in both her
hands and, leaning forward, gazed into
his eyes. The house was still as death.
The audience. already seriously
wrought upon and feeling parched, arid
and uncouth, leaned forward nervous
ly. Two thousand eyes were riveted
upon the actress There was a long
wait; then she slowly pressed her lips
to Romeo's and seemed lost to every
thing around her. The people sat like
stones. A programme foated down
from above and fell athwart wom-
ans bonnet and she did not raise har
hand to removeit. Aspinster coughed,
Juliet raised her head slowly and glided
away, looking back over her shoulder
as she disappeared with an expression
that no man who saw it will ever for
get. There was a long silence and then
the play went on. But no one paid
the slightest attention to it. One by
one the people relaxed their strained
and intent attitudes and leaned back
in their chairs. There was no rustic
or noise. The woman did not notice
the programme on her bonnet until
the curtain fell.
Mary Anderson played Juliet here
when she returned from London re-
Gently, and in the fourth act she kissed
Romeo. As she approached the event
the bald headed man in the orchestra
who habitually dawdles with the base
yiol rose from his seat and looked over
the footlighUs. Everybody knew the
kiss was coming, and when the actress
leaned forward frigidly and resolutely
placed her face in the immediate prox-
unity of Romeo's the house was all at
tention. She leaned back again. The
deed had been done The bald headed
man in the orchestra sank back in his
chair, shivering a bit and turned up
his collar. The lights flickered. An
usher sneezed and, tiptoeing softly to
the door, he put his hand across the
crack to see if he could find out where
the chilling draft came from. Then a
bowling swell rose from his seat, blew
upon his fingers, pulled on fur over
coat, went out into Thirteenth street
and wished audibly that he was dead
