the most enjoyable to the majority OF sports

action so unanimously the muscles of the

PRISONERS ABOARD THE "ALA-

April Century, of the second officer in
command Of the Alabama, of the

quote the following; "Among the

general practice were not putin irons,

prisoners of the first half-dozen prizes
taken were put in irons, including
the captains and mates, at which the
captains we're very indignant, and re-
monstrated with Captain Semmes that
their position should entitled Thorn to
different treatment, Captain Semmes
replied that he confined them in irons
in retaliation for the manner In which
the agents of the U. s. Government
had treated the purser of the 0. s.
steamer Salmpter. The purser, under
orders, was en- route from Gibraltar to
Oadiz in French merchant steamer.
Stopping at Tangier to put off and
take on passengers and cargo, the
purser walked on shore, ard was there,
in neutral country, seized by the
U. s. consul at The head of an armed
force OF Moorish soldiers, and brutally
imprisoned with heavy manacles.
From there he was taken in irons by
the U. s. armed vessel Inc, and finally
sent to New York in irons. The
purser was gentleman Of unimpeach-
able character and high position.
Again, there were occasions during
the cruise when the number Of pris-
oners warranted placing some in irons,
but never were captains put in irons
after that first measure OF retalia-
ton.

forget it, AS if by magic the scene
changes. A few stalwart men stand
up defantly moment in opposition.
Then they fall under the blows. But
panic aeizes the great mixed throng
of men and women. The air is sud-
denly filled with screams. The char
octer of the tumult is sharpened into
dismay. A mad chaos of desperation
ensues; women are entangled by their
skirts and thrown down and trodden
upon; You can hear the pitiful cries
of the childen above the din; it is
the meeting of organized force with
disorganized violence.
1t does not last long. In fifteen
minutes the street is cleared. But
it is bloody. And then that disman-
tied car is dragged back to the depot,
and a score Of miserable wretches are
behind the police bars. This is the
first tussle. But there on Fifty-ninth
street are the reserves drawn up fresh-
ly. They seem to say, "Here we are,
quite ready to go on. If this ques-
ton of labor is to be question Of
mere brute force, that's what we are
here for" And in it and over it all
there is sad reminder that the men
who had rights and public sympathy
have thrown away the most precious
part of their contest in undertaking
to shift their fight from the corpora
tion to the comnrc~ity.

When | had gone about halfa mile,
I came upon man lying insensible
in the snow. The dog stopped beside
him with piteous whine.
The strangers limbs were badly
frozen, and a small, empty flask pro-
truding from one of his pockets, told
the whole story. He did not look
like drunkard, yet is was evident
that he must have been drinking, or
he would not have sat down here to
freeze.
4 rubbed his face and hands with
snow, and tried to revive him but it
was useless In the meanwhile a
neighbor Of mine came up and harried
off to the village for assistance. In
about an hour the unfortunate man
was placed in good quarters; but he
remained unconscious, aud that night
he died.
1t was afterwards discovered That he
was an Englishman, with no relatives
in this country, and no friend but his
faithful dog.
i tried the animal by two or three
names, and found that he responded
only to that of Lion. He seemed to
take his masters death very hard,
showing as much grief as a human
being could have done. But he took
strongly to me, appearing to bear in
mind the circumstances Of our first
meeting. He would not leave his
masters body while it was in sight ;
out when it had been laid away, he
seemed to accept the inevitable with
perfect knowledge that all was
over.
i have not the least doubt that he
had started off in quest Of assistance
for the helpless man at the time Of
discovering me.
Ever since that day he has made
himself one Of our household and as
