Sannakh Island, the largest or group

reefs rocky lodges and islets, is neyerthe-
less the richest hunting ground in Alaskan
waters. Parti Of hunters from the main

be found here at all seasons Of the year,
living in tents OF skin or canvas or hastily
constructed barabarai crude nuts Of earth
and dried grass, diligently watching for
the rare intervals Of weather when the sea
is sufficiently smooth 80 warrant their put
ting out with some prospect Of a successful
hunt for the sea otter and seal
1t Is only at u time when the sea is
smoothest that the hunters may set forth
with any promise or hope Of success, and
in the nhospitabie and boisterous weather
of this section OF Alaska such days are Of
the rarest occurrence, weeks and even
months often passing ere the hunters have
an opportunity of trying their skill with
bow and spear The long looked for quiet
day having at length arrived, the party,
after a brief invocation of the mighter
spirits, embarks, fully equipped, two and

A bidarka is a sort Of canoe made Of the
skin of the sea lion or hair seal stretched
over "a light wooden frame, and, though

DEFENSE OF A PRINCE.

The fact that Mr.. Stead appears in print
as the defender of the Prince of Wales is
interesting and unique; but it is somewhat
overshadowed by the remarkable nature
of the pleas in that behalf, in connection
with the Tranby Croft scandal.
The pivotal points of the defense are,
first, that Mr.. Wilson, the owner OF the
place, did not object to baccarat playing,
but only to playing for high stakes; and,
second, that the Prince travelled with
counters in his possession as a convenient
substitute for gold or bank notes. On the
first point it is possible that the morality
of England may be little more squeam-
ish than the host of Tranby Croft, and
object to a purely gambling game under
any circumstances. Beyond which the
fact seems to be, according to the Princes
own theory of the case, that the play was
high enough to induce one of his personal
friends to cheat in order to win S25 or $50
at coup.
But this plea is cast into deep shade by
the happy thought that His Royal High
ness travels with baccarat counters only as
a convenient substitute for gold or bank
notes. Are we to understand that the
system has been carried to such perfection
in England that the heir to the throne can
buy railroad tickets with blue counter
and tip guards and porters with white
check on his baccarat bank? The method
would be a beautiful one in theory,
but in practice it seems likely to cause
complications when the bank is settled up.
Or are we to take it as an adequate de-
fense that the only use His Royal High
ness has for gold or bank notes on his
travels is in those lively games of chance
where counters are indeed the most con-
venient? After this beautiful effort Of de-
fensive logic it is gratifying to meet with
square protestation that the Prince
never, no never, breathed a syllable of the
Cumming scandal to any confdant, male
OF female
As TO Mr. Stead's certificate of the
Princes desire to engage in political work,
his virtues as landlord, and his freedom
from debt, they can be accepted with a
reasonable degree of belief. 1t is un-
doubtedly pleasant to know that the
Prince, like another royal parsonage, is
not quite so dark hued as the pigments
of rumor have made him.

THE STAR sPANGLED BANNER.
1t Was First Sung by Boy on the Streets of
Baltimore.

In Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of the
War of 1872 1t is recorded that the "Star
Spangled Banner was first sung in n res
taurant in Baltimore, next door TO the Holi-
day Street Theater, by Charles Durang to an
assemblage of the patriotic defenders of the
city, and after that, nightly at the theater.
This statement is slightly inaccurate, and
though it is one of no great historical i'm
portance it involves a matter of sufficient
interest to justify correction says a writer
in Kate Fields Washington The first person
to sing that spirited song-whfch, though
given foreign air and commemorating
single episode in our country's his
tory. has filled millions of American
hearts with patriotic emotion-was a lad
II years OF age, the scene his childish effort
being neither IL restaurant nor q theater
but the open street in front OF Captain Ben
Jamln Edes's printing office in Baltimore, on
the second day after the bombardment of
Fort McHenry. 1t is worthy of record, too
that the person who first "set up the song,
printed it and distributed IL to the citizens of
Baltimore, was also boy-an apprentice Of
Captain Edes-the whole thing being done
while the gallant captain was still out of the
city with his regiment, the Twenty seventh
Maryland Infantry, which three days before
had acted with conspicuous bravery at the
battle of North Point.
The name of the apprentice boy, then IL or
1s years old, WAS Samuel Sands. He lived a
much-respected citizen of Baltimore, to a
very old age. This little singer was James
Lawrenson, who afterward, for nearly 70
years, was connected with the Postoffice De-
partment, and was also employed for prob
ably half that time as writer for the No
tiorloI blteiligenceT, the Philadelphia Ledger
and the Baltimore Sun He died last year,
nearly 90 years old, at his home in Balti-
more, universally loved and honored.

How Far Parental Influence Goes.

General Louis Fitzgerald, President of the
New York Mercantile Trust Company, tellsa
pretty good story of fatherly care, fishing,
children and Sunday to the readers of the
Commercial advertiser.
Iam no prude or puritan" said the Gen.
eral Yesterday, "but as fond as am of fish
ing don't angle on Sunday because 1 don't
want to set bad example to my children.
Last Sunday party of gentlemen were fish
ing near my place at Seabright. was sitting
on nv dock smoking and thinking, when the
gentlemen hailed me and invited me to come
out on their yacht and take part in the
fishing.
"I declined, saying would not fish on Sum
dav. because did not want to set n bad ex-
ample to my children. They all began to
laugh at me, but firmly stood my ground.
The more I talked of good examples, etc.,
the more heartily they laughed. The con-
versation ceased, and in three minutes 1
heard my little girl crying out to her brother:
Pull him up Louis; pull him up. You've got
bite
aBless me, the whole four of my children
were industriOusly fishing beneath the dock,
and 1 then appreciated why my friends
laughed so heartily. Imagine my mortifica-
tion at the shouts of laughter on the yacht
as ran my little tribe to the house, where
wholesale spanking followed"

He Wished to Retire.

The pleasant weather yesterday turned
people out of doors, and Detroit's parks con-
tanned the usual number of visitors. Grand
Circus Park had its benches comfortably
filed with men, women and children, says
the Journal, of that city. There were prob
ably so men and women in all.
1t was about o'clock. On one of the
benches were two men, one of 25, the other of
probably 40 The latter, under ordinary cir
cumstances would have attracted attention
ing and generally attractive, intelligent ap-
pearance. As it was, however, his younger
friend made the better and more respectable
aDpearance. Both were well dressed, and
the older man wore a handsome Prince Al
bert and q tall, light colored felt hat of the
latest style.
He presented the sad spectacle of man
drinking. He was sleepy" His partner
was Watching the water at one of the foun-
tains while he was trying to take a nap.
Pretty soon he stood up and took off his hat.
Then he took OFT his coat. Then came his
vest He carefully took out his watch and
wound up the handsome gold timepiece.
All this was done deliberately. His clothes
were carefully placed over the back of his
seat His friend was looking the other way
and did not notice him till he unloosened
his suspenders and proceeded to take off his
shoes and stockings. just as this portion of
the programme was getting under way, his
friend turned around and asked him what
he was trying to do. No answer came I'll
Mr. Blank was thoroughly shaken up. He
finally realized that he was not at home and
in his best room, and that he must not DIS
robe and go to bed in a public park. The
spectators were considerably relieved when
Mr.. Blank donned his clothes again.

PITTsBURG, MONDAY, July Is, 1871.
IMPROVED RAILWAY FACILITIES.

The increase of the importance of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, especially in
its relations TO Pittsburg, forms the sub
ject of an interesting interview in our
local columns. The interviewed gentle
man brings into prominent notice the
draft which this system has made in active
and efficient officials whom it has taken
from the Pennsylvania forces; but the vital
point to Pittsburg Is the large improve
ment in transportation facilities which has
gone on concurrently Herewith.
The fact is stated that since the transfer
of Mr. King to the B. & o. system fully
SO. 600. 600 has been expended in increasing
the facilities of that system. This is good
record and the condition which the road is
now in fully justifies the position of The
DISPATCH, during the financial complica-
tions of the corporation some three years
since, that corporation with such prop
erty could not be wrecked by temporarily
bad financiering.
The most important feature of these
facts to Pittsburgris the rise of the Balti-
more and Ohio to leading position in the
competition for Pittsburg's traffic. 1t
gives lis not only an improved Eastern and
new Western line for freight traffic, with
competitive rates, but, as promised in the
interview, will, when the improvements are
finished, furnish another route for passen-
ger travel TO Chicago which will vie with
The best in speed and accommodations.

facilities of our city furnish the best guar
antee of growth and prosperity in the;

THE CONSUMPTION OF LIVES.

The hazards of common, everyday life
continue to be impressed on the public
mind by the current news in the most
tragic manner. Two more lives were lost
on the Pennsylvania line yesterday, max
ing the bloody total of seven lives lost on
that line in the last two days, five of them
within the city limits, Also there was
another narrow escape from a collision be-
tween two well-filled traction cars at the
Court House corner last evening from a
misunderstanding of the signals of the
cornerman. It is no more than justice to
say that the loss of life on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad does not seem in any case
to have been the fault of the railroad the
persons killed having been on the track,
where they had no business to be. But
there is a forcible lesson on the uncer-
tainties of life in the death list, even
where no fault has caused wholesale
slaughter.

ADVICE THAT MAY REACT.

The way in which the example of trusts
and mOnopolies has be-muddled the ideas
of great many people on the subject of
commercial tactics is shown by the re-
newed announcement of the Farmers Al
lance officials that they advise the farm
ers of the West to hold back the wheat
crop until it can be sold at price to be
fixed by the Alliance officials.
The Farmers Alliance people are ex-
cusable in supposing that they can apply
the trust tactics to the wheat crop, from
the fact that attempts have been made by
business men to do the same thing where
it was equally impossible. Not SO ab-
sUrdly impossible, perhaps, as in the case
Of the wheat crop, but equally in the sense
Of being absolutely impracticable. For
the device of permanently raising prices
by artificial scarcity can only be operated
where the supply is controlled by mo-
nopoly. To suppose that seven million
producers of wheat in competition, not
only with each other, but with other un-
told millions in the rest of the world, can
he induced to hold back their wheat and
surrender the market to their competitors
is to presume TO an unheard-of degree on
the ignorance and gullibility of mankind.
The Farmers Alliance will find that
they cannot improve their cause by adopt
ing the unjust tactics of their worst enc
mics, or by giving the spectators the best
chance to ring in temporary corners on
the strength of their foolish action. If
the Alliance commits itself to a project of
this kind it may effect the result of break
ing its own neck.
