Secretary of the Navy Tracy has
declined to hold court of inquiry on
the naval disaster at Samoa. On the
c9AAarS ] he compliments Admiral
Kimberly and his subordinates for
their skill and hcroism. The daunt-
less courage of the men on the Tren-
ten, whe gave three cheers to their
comrades on the CaIiope, as she fought
her way inch by inch out of the har-
Dor, while they themselves seemed
doonedsto certain death, is recognized
in fitting terms by the Secretary. The
skill tina. brought the helpless Tren-
ton beside the wrecked Vandalia at
the close of the dreadful day, aud the
spirit that turned the attention of all
to the rescue of the men who had been
sclinging to the masts of the sunken
vessel, deserve MI the praise that Sec
Rotary Tracy accords them. The in
cident of the playing of the "Star
Spangled Banner by the Trenton's
band rs the ship driffed down to her
comrade in the face of death has
touched every American heart with
pride.
Secretary Tracy points out the only
step that could have averted the cal
!, aipity was to put Out Ia sea before the
storm broke. Under the circumstances
that called for the presence of the fleet
at Apia the Admiral would have been
justified in leaving tbe,placc only by
the certainty of overwhelming danger.
: Az this WAS not anticipated by any of
commanders in the harbor, the Depart
ment approves fully the course taken.
The Secretary concludes: "To con-
vene court of inquiry under these
circumstances would seem 10 imply
doubt on the part of the Department
where no doubt exists. and instead If
ordering an Investigation it tenders
TO you, and through you to the officers
and men of your command, its SYM
pathy for the exposure and hardship
you have encountered and is pro-
found thanks for the fidelity With
which you performed your duty in
crisis of appaiin. Danger"
This language confirms the general
judgment Of tue poop { from Tue pres,
reports of thu disaster. They take as
! high pride in The skill and heroism
displayed in tne ALTA harhor as in the
memory of the achievements of the
aavy III battle

INSECT-EATlNG BIRDS.

How They Have Been Swept Away by
the Destroying Hand of Man.
Fifty years ago every farm in the
Eastern. Middle and Southern States
had from five to twenty acres OF wood
land. These lands not only served
many other good purposes, but were
natural resting places for birds, and
served them as safe shelter during the
heat of the day. These primitive for
ests were the home of many species of
birds. The writer well remembers the
delight experienced in going to the
woods in the spring of the year and
listening to the songs of the native
warblers as they returned from their
winter quarters at the South. Tho
miliar to the ears of the farmer as
household words. The scream of the
blue Jay rang through the forest clear
and loud.
The many species Of woodpecker
were watched with intense interest as
they glided up and down the trunks of
the trees, ever and anon rapping with
irresistible force with their powerful
beaks, and frequently drawing forth
some huge grub that had been sapping
the life of some monarch of the forest.
While watching these ever industrious
and useful birds. scarlet tanager, like
a flash of fire, or some other bright
bird, would fit by, happy and beautiful.
How is it now? The woodman's axe
and the pot-hunter's gun can sell the
sad story The birds have gone-no
home, no resting place, no safety any
where. Looking at this sad picture,
one feels ready to exclaim with the
poet Burns:
Inhuman mani Curse on thy barbarous art,
And blasted be thy understanding eye;
May never pity soothe thee with sigh,
Nor ever pleasure glad thy cruel heart.
The birds that were so common fifty
years ago were mostly insect-eating
birds, and destroyed millions of nox-
ious insects, and were of inestimable
value to the farmer and tiller of the
soil. Even the grain-eating birds con-
sumed a large number OF Larvae. The
humming birds, supposed by many to
subsist wholly upon honey, consume
many small beetles and thrips, and
thereby confer benefit to the florist.

A Bell With a History.

At Lumpkin, Ga, is church bell
with history. This old bell has done
much service for many different peo-
pie. 1t has engraved upon it the year
1000, the year in which it was made.
For number of years it tolled the
hour for congregations in a convent
in the Netherlands. 1t was afterward
carried to Lisbon, and from there to
Madrid, and was in the monastery at
that place when the great Napoleon in
vaded that territory, taking every
thing as he pushed his forces over
plains and up mountain sides, and all
bells were being taken and re-cast into
cannon for the furtherance of his war;
like ambition. The owners OF this
bell, seeing his intentions, and loving
their sacred property that had SO long
served them, secretly took it down from
its lonely tower. and placing 1t on board
a large vessel about To sail for this
country, shipped it to New York,
where IL remained for many years,
until it was purchased by Lumpkin
man for his church. 1t has been used
30 much it has lost its tone, and will
have to be laid aside. - Washington 0st.

Description of Recently Discovered Boz
tanical " onder.
In the farthest southeastern island OF
the Philippine group, Mindiano, upon
one of its mountains, Parag, in the
neighborhood of the highest peak in
the island, the volcano Apo, party of
botanical and ethnographical explorers
found recently, at the height of $500
feet above the sea level, colossal
flower. The discoverer, DR.. Alexander
Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
ewes when he saw amidst the low-grow-
ing bushes the immense buds of this
3 flower, like gigantic brown cabbage
heads. But he was still more aston
ished when he found a specimen in full
bloom, a fve-petaled flower, nearly
yard in diameter-as large as a car
riage-whee,, in fact This enormous
blossom was borne on n sort of vine
creeping on the ground. 1t was known
by the native who accompanied DR..
Schadenberg, who called 1t Boo.
The party had no scale by which the
weight OF the flower could be ascer-
tanned, but they improvised swinging
scale, using their boxes and specimens
as weights. Weighing these when OPP
portunity served, it was found that a
single flower weighed over twenty-five
pounds. 1t was impossible to trans
port the fresh flower, 80 the travellers
photographed it, and dried number
OF its leaves by the heat of fire. DR..
Schadenberg then sent the photographs
and dried specimens to the Royal Bo-
tanical gardens at Breslau, where the
learned director Immediately recog-
nized it as species of Rafiiesia,
plant formerly discovered in Sumatra
and named after the English Governor,
Sir Stamford Rallies. The new aOwer
was accordingly named Raffiesia Scha-
denbergia. The five petals OF this inn
mense flower are oval and creamy
white, and grow around center filed
with countless long violet-hued stam-
ems, thicker and longer in the female,
or fertile flowers, than in the infertile.
The fertilization is accomplished by in
sects. whose larvae breed in the decay
! ing flesh of its thick petals. The fer-
Stile flower develops soft, berry-like
fruit, in which countless seeds are i'm
bedded. The hover exhales poison
nus gas. even when drst opened.-Pitts-

How to Obtain Health.

The great secret of unvarying health
is before every thing, to have a body
in high state of vigor. and once hav-
ing that to keep it. There is less wis
dom in studying the ways of curing
an ailing frame than in giving your at
tention to those of obtaining a hearty
one that never becomes ailing. A
proper physique sheds pains. aches.
disorders, illnesses, diseases, epidemics
as duck does water, and enables its
owner TO laugh at DOCTORS bills. 1t
confers upon its possessor happiness
amid the heaviest misfortunes and
gives the surest promise of longevity.
To obtain it, have some regular busi-
ness that will give you an interest in
life and make you alive all over,
without over-wOrking you; shun
care and worry; be systematic in
your habits; avoid dissipation; sleep
enough; eat plain, wholesome food. the
best of the kind, and, above all, devote
yourself methodically to some athletic
pursuit, such as will give you exercise
all round, and spend all the time y u
can in the open air. Then forget you
have body that can by any possibility
get out OF order, and never think OF
your health. .--NeObnrypert Herald.

NAPOLEON'S FAMILY.
How the Late Emperor Was Badgered
Ambitious Relatives.

Ambitious Relatives.
The late Emperor Napoleon does not
appear, from Count Falloux's memoirs,
to have got on very we'll in his private
transactions with his numerous rela-
tives 1t was during the period of the
Presidency of the Republic that his
Uncle jerome, we are told. said one
day to his nephew, after a storm of re-
proaches, You have nothing of the
Emperor about you," to which the
President answered bitterly, you are
mistaken, my dear uncle; | have his
family" While his colleagues in the
ministry were deeming it good policy
to show court to the Emperor's ''un-
cles, cousins and aunts,h NJ. de FallouN
"dispensed with all this" and he adds.
witt. sly touch OF cynicism, the
President never showed me any ill-will
on that account" 1t was relief, he
assures us, from painful embarrass-
ment when NJ. Odillon Barrot helped
to solve the problem how to provide
for "needy uncle" by suggesting that
he should be made Governor of the
Invalides. The President appears to
have been equally frank in the
case OF his cousin, Prince Napoleon.
NJ. de Falloux relates that wher
NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys, mt a Cabinet
Council was entering, with some en-
barrassment and much periphrasis, on
the subject of the Princes intrigues at
Madrid, whore he was then occupying
the post of Frensh Ambassador, the
President interrupted him, and with
his usual GOODNESS and deliberation"
said: II see your conclusions, M
Drouyn de Lhuys. You may believe
that | am well acquainted with my
cousin. My cousin is monster" 1t
will be perceived from this, as well as
from other passages in the volumes,
that lack of Outspokenness with those
he knew intimately was not one OF tho
Emperor's failures. In 1860, when Nj.
de Faloux, as Director of the Academy
sought, according to custom, an audi
ence of the Emperor, in order to an
nounce the election Of Father LacOr-
daire, the ex-Minister took occasion tC
express his opinion that the English
alliance, from the dynastic point of
view, was no more favorable than the
revolutionary alliance. To this ''our
illustrious neighbor and good ally rs
it was then the fashion in many quar-
ters to call him, replied, II know that
very we'll. England never is u true
ally;" and he added with some bitter
ness" she is even an enemy. She
spoils every thing she touches" Such.
it appears, was the private opinion in
1860 of the sovereign who eleven years
later was dreaming, AS we know, of
retrieving his fallen fortunes by incit-
ing Germany to an unprovoked war
against that country. - Cleveland

That's sweet idea to introduce in

society people wear clothes that
belong to other people, eat food

houses belonging to other men, and
in some instances subsist entirely on u
'female ancestor whose name they do

can not wear her coat-of-arms? Come
off. We can (and willy wear any thing
we can get on. And, indeed, every
American citizen should maintain u
good three-ply coat-of-arms. 1t costs
nothing, and is within the Legitimate
reach of the humblest. In n demo-
cratic nation it is a choice boon. It
will keep man warm, when his other

him dignity when his trousers are
fringed at the hem. 1t will keep last
years collar from chatting his neck.
To the man who wants n coat-of-arms
it will be sweet to the soul and health
to the bones, and would be great medii
cine to his brains, If he had any. Any
man in this country who can afford to
borrow Sunday paper and study the
illustrated patent medicine advertise
ments, and then goes hungry for coat
of-arms, wishing one, would perish OF
thirst if he fell into Lake Michigan.
Still, that's the kind of a man, usually,
who pines for coat-of-arms and hasn't
the originality or courage to invent or
steal one. Bless you, simple ones.
there's no copyright on coat-of-arms.
