AN OLD SALTS LAMENT
His Views Upon the Accomplishments of
Modern Tars.

His Views Upon the Accomplishments of
Modern Tars.
"Goin' to sea is not what it used to
be, by long shot, and the sailor of
to-day can lead a gentleman's life if he
chooses" said an old seaman, recently,
as he sat in ship chambers store on
South Delaware street. putting at very
strong and highly-colOred clay pipe.
He is tall and angular, and gave up the
sea several years ago to become land
lubber, although his face and hands
still show the effects of long exposure
When followed the sea-" he con-
tinued, "a sailor who shipped before
the mast had to be an able seaman.
There was none o your lubbers as there
are nowadays. One-half of 'em rs goes
to sea now don't know fore from aft,
and if they told to 90 up aloft and
clew up sail they'd stare at the Cap
tain or mate with open mouth to find
out what he meant. Now, when | was
sailor. and goin' from here to Frisco
and other points, if We got ahold o. one
o. them coveS we'd beat knowledge
into him. If he couldn't do able sea-
mans work we'd put him down for
ordinary seaman's duty, and if he
couldn't do that we'd start him right
at the beginning and beat him through
until he'd become rs good man as
there was in the crew.
Things is changed, though, since
then. The laws which has been passed
in this country and the United States
Commissioners make things easy for
the sailor, and that's why | say he can
lead gentleman life. There was no
goin' to law when | was before the mast
When a row sprung up on board a ship
it was always settled with marlinspikes
and Delaying pins. and the man who
could walk after the fight was over was
put down as the winner. As it is now
in this country, if Cap'n has bad
crew and looks at 'em cross-eyed
they'll have him up before a United
States Commissioner quicker'n light
MIN when they make port. This is all
right, s'pose, and it's what good peO-
pie call civilization, but then it don't
make good seamen.
why, it's only few days ago that
l was talkin' to a Cap'n, and he told
me that in all his crew there was not a
man that he could trust at the wheel
outside of his mates. He had run afoul
some bad weather, and he and his mates
had to serve their times at the wheel
through it all, as every one of his crew
said they d never handled a wheel, and
didn't know anything about it. That's
q sample of the men as ships before the
mast now and is called sailors
A look of supreme disgust settled
over the old seaman's countenance as
he finished his criticism, and he settled
himself quietly back in his chair and
pulled vainly at the old clay pipe,
which he had allowed to 90 out in the
fervency of his talk Philadelphia Press.

a Grand Spectacle Which "IIistory Has
Never Had to Record BEFORE.
As 4 rule the Southern people are
not admirers of the Puritans, and they
may perhaps at first be startled at the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's cutting
them so, as he did at the BROOKLYN
New England dinner But they are
not likely to lay it up against him
when they comprehend the splendid
compliment he paid them.
/ He defined the Puritans as those who
insisted on making themselves instru-
mentS in the correction of abuses no
matter at what sacrifice; who refused
/ to be led away from these aims and
| who had the will power to carry them
1 out ut any cost. There are" he said.
''men in Ireland to-day rs good Puri-
7 tans rs the world ever saw" Every
man, no matter where he lives, does
( the best he can without counting the
cost-evcry such man he rcckOned
among the great brotherhood of the
PuritanS.
There are great many Puritans in
Georgia and South Carolina, he said,

1t is stated that in many sections of
the Northwest enterprising capitalists
have gone into undevelopcd territory
and erected elevators and warehouses
even before the settler came to raise
grain to fill them. The grain and
warehouse law passed by the Mime
sofa Legislature, last winter, has been
a material aid to the development of
the system, as previous to that time the
elevator business was controlled by a
few powerful companies, who were
kept in power and free from COMPETE
ton by the railroad companies. The
increase in two years in the number of
elevators on lines directly tributary to
Minneapolis is neariy three-fOld. A
noticeable feature is the great superior
ity in the character and capacity of the
buildings in the extreme northern see
tions over those in the longer settled
districts in the southern part of Mime
sofa. The cost of the elevators COM
prising this vast system is computed at
ten million dollars. and their capacity
is more than equal to this years crop,
fifty million bushels. The cost of re-
ceiving, clearing, elevating and
discharging grain is about two
cents per bushel, while elevator
companies, VINO buy and ship
grain, receive from three to three and
Il half cents per bushel. Out of this
CONS the interest on the investment,
all expense of maintaining and operat-
ing the elevator, insurance on grain,
cleaning and loss of weight and grade
at terminal points.
The thoughtful uttcrances of Presi-
dent Cleveland on our agricultural in
terests show that he fully appreciates
the importance Of the vast wealth
which is annually derived from the
rich farms of the West and Northwest.
The above statistics must convince
every reader of the great benefit to be
derived from Il wise and careful cxer-
else of the powers and duties Of the
Department Of Agriculture, which is
charged with acquiring and dillusing
among the people useful information
on the subjects interesting 10 farmers.
Could efficient precautions be ais"
taken against grain corners, which
would seem. i'm view Of the cereal
wealth Of the Northwest impossible to
bring about. but which are, nevcrthe-
less. of no infrcqUent occurrence. the
country would Dc always ready to sup
ply the needs of other nations without
the inliction of burdens on oar own
people, by an undue increase in the
price of grain. Should the present
troubles in Europe eliminate in a gen
cral war, a wonderful impetus would
be given to our grain interests, rs the
supplies from India and other coun-
tries could not long be relied upon to
feed the warning nations. As the bur
densome restrictions placed by the rail-
road companies, in Minnesota, upon
outside parties who desired to build
elevators and extend the system, have
been removed by law, we may look for
still more astonishing results during
the ensuing year in that great grain .
