Admiral Porter's Life and Ways.


 The chief officer of the navy, Admiral David D. Porter, is "A His father. brother and uncle distinguished themselves following the flag on the seas. Admiral Porter began his life on the water sixty-four years ago, when, as boy only years of ago, he sailed with his father in the expedition against the West Indian pirates. At IA years of age he was midshipman in the Mexican navy; at 15 he was wounded aud captured by the Spanish and imprisoned in Cuban castle, and at 16 he was a midshipman in the United States navy. Having already gone through the Mexican war as a lieutenant. he saw the first and last gun fired in the civil war, and became the second admiral in all American history, Farragut being the first to achieve that supreme rank. He investigated San Domingo for the United States government when he was only %, and rode 1 100 miles on horseback. Jefferson Davis, as secretary of war under Franklin Pierce, sent Porter to Asia, where he bought eighty-four camels that the government thought would be use full to the army on the western plains.
 The admiraps face never felt the razor but war with Mexico the commander of the fleet, Commodore Corners, swore that no officer with the .whiskers of . pirats' should sail under him. Neither the army nor the navy had ever seen another officer with full beard, but Porter insisted on his prerogative and sailed with his whiskers unclipped. His headquarters in Washington arc fitted up like an admirars cabin aboard ship, but Porter has nothing to do. He is . volunnin- ous writer of romance and amuses himself with his pen. He can compose and dictate 1000 words an hour. He neither drinks nor smokes.-Wash. Cor. Boston Globe.

Written in sober Earnest.


 The past week has been one of unusual ex- citement in town over a fracas in journal istic circles. MT. Clinic seems to have ap- piled to himself one or more paragraphs that appeared in our last issue, and on Friday last he followed us into Messrs. Murduch,s gro cery store and asked us to whom they were meant to apply. We refused to comply with his request, saying that we wanted nothing to do with him, or words to that effect Af- ter vain attempt to draw a satisfactory an- swer from us, he made 8 cowardly attack upon us from behind, and dealt us a blow on the ear. We turned to defend ourself, and received another blow on the left temple We then "went for him." and after brief scuffle got his head ssin chancery," as our counsel termed it. We had on our overcoat and gloves when attacked, being too i'll that day to work and was going home to go to bed We had been under the doctors care for the previous three weeks, and was suffer ing at the time with . violent attack of sick headache, in addition to more serious ail- mont, so that we were not in fighting ''fettle. ]" After we had got his head under our arm and his wrists as firmly gripped as our strength would permit, we said to the on- lockers, .Gentlemen, am sick today and do not want to fight" We were then parted by Mir.

Scrub Woman on tho Stage.

As an addition to funny incidents on the stage you should hear about the scrub woman who made her debut in ''Martha" the other night It was in tho forest scene. The main part of the costume of the new character was an old red shawl, and her general appear ance left no doubt about her duties. She thought she was walking across the stage be- hind scene, but she was in full view of tho tittering playgoers, who made the singer blush and falter because he thought they were laughing at him. The stage manager and his assistants on both sides said in sub dued yells, "Come off" but the poor bewil- dered woman didn't know where to turn, and In trying to go all directions at once, stood still. The audience recalled the singer after ward, in order to reassure him that he was "all right. n-Philadelph Inquirer.

HOW About This2

Here is The New Orleans Item, Re- publican journal, which in speaking of the result of the recent Louisiana elec- tion, says that "a number of the better sort of intelligent and independent negroes boldly proclaimed themselves Democrats, and in favor of the election of Gen. Nichols from the beginning"
 And here, too, Is The Progress, paper edited by negroes, which declares that thousands and thousands of colored voters" cast their votes for the Demo- cfatic nominee for governor.
 This is kind of evidence which will be totally ignored by the Republican news papers of the north, which are insisting that the Democratic majority in the Lou isiana election was due to the grossest of fraud; and it Is kind of evidence, more- over, which will command a great deal more respect than the frenzied ravings of the bloody shirt shriekers of the eastern press, who were never in Louisiana, and who are simply repeating the old howl they learned twenty years ago, because, finding it an effective campaign cry then, they desperately hope that it may still re- tain something of its old ef1iciency.- Louisville Courier-J Journal.

A woMAN's SONG.

She took her song to beauty's side, Where riches are end pomp and pride; There in the world amidst the crowd She found out hearts by sorrow bowed; And midst a dream of light and dress She saw the pain of loneliness. Her voice's magic held a tear, She made the weary ones draw near; And all the passions of the throng Were melted into peace by songl She took her song along the street, And hushed the beat of passing feet; And tired toilers stopped to fill Their hearts with music at her will She sang of rest for weary feet, Of sea moan and of meadows sweet; Her voice's pleadings stilled the air. And little children wept with her; So all their sorrow, grief and pain She softened into love again. She took her song to those who rest Safe in the clasp of nature's breast, Amid the graves, along the shore, Washed with salt tears forevermore; : And then she sang, How longi How longi Before we hear that perfect song That angel hymni That mystic strain, When those who loved shall love again, When life's long struggle shall be blest With music of eternal rest!

 Experience of Gsntleman Who ssCAns
 Down" and Got Out.
 A gentleman who was staying at . hotel in Saratoga was one morning passing down . corridor which led from his room, when lady who stood in the door of her room ac- costed him.
 q beg your pardon,n she said. .but can you tell ms the timAT
 He looked at her and judged her to be . respectable and inoffenaive person.
 s'It Is 10:30,n he replied, consulting his watch.
 The woman turned back into her chamber, but instantly wheeled about again.
 "I am very sorry to trouble you" 1" she said, 'sbut my clock is stopped, and do not know how to set 1t. have an important engage ment in about an hour, and 1 shall be ex- tremaly obliged if you will set 1t for me" The gentleman kindly and rashly acceded to her request and stepped into the chamber On the mantel stood an ordinary travelling clock. He went up to it, took out his watch again and laid it on the shelf, while he pro ceeded to set the clock The lady followed him and picked up the time piece.
 "What a beautiful watch,n she said.
 "Yes," he answered, turning away from the clock. "It is an heirloom"
 ''I think, ;" the woman observed, ''that I will keep this watch"
 And as she spoke she showed him in the other hand the key of the door, which she had noiseleSly closed and locked. He looked at her a monaent in silence.
 "Very wei, he said, holding out his hand for the key.
 She tucked the watch into the bosom of her gown and gave him the key, smiling serenely. He opened the door and then turned 3back.
 "Upon second thought" he said, with un- rufaed coolness, ':I thinkI will redeem the watch. It is an heirloom, and am fond of it. ]" "Yes7" she responded.
 'sI will give you $50 for il, ," he said, taking out his pocketbook.
 ''Very well," replied the adventures, pro- ducing the watch.
 He gave her the money, took the watch, and departed poorer but possibly wiser man.
 When this tale was recited at the club the gentleman who told 1t related it as an ad- venture which had befallen a friend of his When he ended some one asked:
 "But why in the name of common sense didn't he ring the bell or kick up rowT "He knew. better" responded the narrator, with a smile. "He was locked alone into a chamber with daring and abandoned "OAhA@AS Ao "OuAu 0nV0 4VuSuU tO Guo AdSt gasp It was worth more than $50 to him to escape the scandal"
 That is all very we'll" observed another clubman; "but if he had looked the baggage in the face and calmly ejaculated Oh, ratsp she would have come down quickly enough n Which may be true. am not an expert in such matters, but it does on the whole seem probable that most men who get black mailed are either victims of foolish coward ice or are conscious that there is that in their past records which makes it wise for them to avoid investigation.-Boston Cor.

HONoRs TO CARL sCHURz.
Count Bismarck and Others Present
at a BANQUET.

/
BERLIN, April 3O.-A banquet was given
at the Kaiserhoff Hotel last EVENING" honor
OF Carl Schurz. Count Herbert Bismarck
and several members of the Reichstag,
other distinguished persons were present
Prof. Gueist, in proposing t e health Of Mr..
ScnurZ, SAID that as popular orator, as
leader OF an army corps in civil war, as a
Senator, and as Minister in model adj
ministration, Mr.. Schurz had always re-
manned the same true man.
Mr.. SchurZ replied: II stand here as a
simple American citizen of German birth.
We OF German birth in America enter
tain for our extensive commonwealth a
love as for bride, which, however, does
not diminish our affection for our old
mother. We greet with great enthusiasm
the completion and union of the German
tatherland under the leadership Of the
Brave Hohenzoliern race, and the manner
IN which the Imperial Chancellor has raised
himself, like a colossal figure in the worlds
history, above all the statesmen of his time,
placing Germany as a power of the first
magnitude in the family of nations, while
utilizing his victories in maintaining peace
among the people of Europe.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FRIENDSHIP
THE preservation Of the friendly under
standing between the German Fatherland
and the American republic IS dearer to the
German Americans than anything else If
difference of opinion with reference to
Commercial interests should occur it IS to be
hoped that wise measures on both sides
will overcome them in the course of time.
Mr.. Chapman Coleman, first secretary
of the United States legation, made u
speech in which he referred to the united
relations always existing between Prussia
and America as being further developed
under the empire to the advantage of both
nations
Mr.. Coleman was followed by Count
Herbert Bismarck, who, in the course of
his remarks, gave assurance of the increas-
ing endeavors of the Imperial government
for the furtherance of reciprocal friendly
relations between the two countries
SIR Schurz will shortly be received by
Prince Bismarck

COURT CASES AT JACKSONVILLE.
An Adjournment for the Term Or
dered by Judge Jones.

oered by Judge Jones.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 30.-Judge
Jones held q brief session of the Criminal
Court to-day, and after hearing argument
on several motions for continuance, bail,
ETC., and disposing of the following two
cases, adjourned court for the term.
The case of Roderlck Murdoch, tried
Saturday on a charge of embezzling $500
| from Armour e. Co., and resulting in mis-
| trial, owing to the failure of the jury TO
| agree, was continued this morning until
the next term, and bail fixed at $500, viii CHI
| Murdoch failed TO furnish, and he was COM
mitted
jeff Bradley, charged with aggravated
assault, secured a continuance of his case,
and his bail reduced from So, 000t 1000.
The County Judges Court was well
attended this morning to listen to the argu-
ments in the case of j. l.. Frazee VS.. A. n.
| King and others, as to the responsibilities
and duties of a State soldier. The case
grew out of the attempt of Mr. King, who
is Sergeant of the Jacksonville Light In
fantry, TO compel the attendance of Private
Frazee at a drill. The latter went to the
theatre Friday night in preference, and at
the close of the performance he was
arrested, after some considerable resistance,
and taken to the guardroom. He
(trazee) was worry indignant at
such treatment and determined to
ascertain just how much liberty a citizen
had, though he might be gallant soldier
lad" To this end he mad Sergt. King ar
rested for assault, with deadly weapon,
to wit, gun, with fixed bayonet." Judge
MacLean listened to all the evidence that
was presented and, after examining the
State statutes on the subject, discharged
the defendant, saying that the law plainly
provided for and authorized the arrest and
punishment of members who refused to at
tend company drills.
