The Changes Which Have Como In, Its
General Way.
'My dear SIR" observed tho great
man to me, as he lit another cigarette,
you must understand that nothing is
as il used to bo here,l Times are
changed; so are manners; so is the
shape of peoples hats Look at that
fellow, Milkpot, who is passing us now
Observe that monstrosity he has on
his head, Mexican sombrero, fit for
the pampas or the mountains. Who
would have dreamed of entering the
house of commons wearing such n thing
in Lord Palmerstor's time? Look at
the brim, sir. 1t spreads over the ter
race like an awning-Milkpot might
hold tea-party under it. That shows
what is going on.
''We don't even dress like gentlemen
any more. A man may do anything
nowadays, and no one will think the
worse of him. 1t used to be an under
stood thing that divisions should not be
sprung upon us in the dinner hour, or
at other unseemly times, and conse-
quently we could go away comfortably
and dine without fear of coming bsck
and finding the ship scuttled, But now
we are obliged to be here all through q
sitting--we dare not leave the place
even for ten minutes. Well, we can not
always be stuck on the treasury bench,
like SO many enchanted apes, and if we
go into the library somebody is sure to
be after us with question, or deputa-
ton, or a request which is utterly ir.
regular, not to say disgusting. So YOU
see it has become necessary to provide
each of us with room. A lot of serv.
ants and clerks have been turned out Of
the house, and here we are in their
places. Come in, and will show you
mine. e."-Macmillan's Magazine.

A confederate soldier, of Gen. Bragg's
army, has much to say of the state of
semi-starvation in which he and his
comrades were much of the time kept.
while we were ut Chattanooga my
father paid me a visit. Rations We're
mighty scarce. was very glad to see
him, but felt ashamed to have him
know how badly off we were for some
thing to eat. We We're living on
parched corn. Finally hit upon n
plan for getting him good dinner. i
invited him to go with me to the colo
ners tent. Col. Field said i, 4 wish
to introduce you to my father, and US
rations are little short in the mess
just now, perhaps you will be good
enough to invite him to dine with you.
Certainly answered Col. Field, i shall
be happy to have both of you remain
to dinner accepted the invitation
with many thanks, and just then q
young Negro came in with frying-pan
of pnrched corn and dumped 1t on an

BLOCKADE OF THE POTOMAC
How the Pensacola Ran the Gauntlet of
Batteries.

How the Pensacola Ran the Gauntlet of
Batteries.
During the summer and fall of 1861
the confcderatcs had effected the COM
plete blockade of the city of Washing
ton and the Potomac river Not an
ounce of provisions or munitions of war
could get into Washington except by
railway from Baltimore and undergo
ing transshipment at that place. The
Potomac river was closed and the rebel
batteries could only be passed by few
small crafts at night. tgf
The sloop-of-war Pensacola had been
fitting for sea at the Washington navy
yard for nearly a year past, and in the
month of November her engineers pro-
nounced her ready. The rebel batteries
swept the channel of the river through
distance of nine miles, and this was
the gauntlet the ship was to run if she
was to join Farragut's fleet below New
Orleans, where she was ordered to rem
devious. ,r..y....f ,r,,5
The confederate officers of this long
line of batteries on the right bank of
the Potomac had possession of the coast
survey charts and they were thus en-
abled to train their guns accurately on
mid-channel of the river, not very wide
at this place. The elevating screws of
the guns were made secure after the
aim had been carefully adjusted and
nothing was left for the gunner to do
but to watch until the ship should come
in the line of fire and pull his lock
string. Nine miles of batteries seemed
to make the destruction of the ship a
pretty sure thing.
On n star-lit November night, just as
the moon was sinking in the west
the ship, which had been lying at an
chor off Alexandria, got under way and
headed down the river toward the bat
teries and to try the fortune of war
John Walters, the only navy yard pilot
who remained loyal to the government
stood by to steer the ship through her
dangerous course. Two navy yard tugs
We're secured along the off-shore side of
the ship to help the ships own engines
and to be ready to assist in the event of
their being disa abled.
1t isimpossible to describe or to under
stand now the intense interest excited
by this attempt to break through the
rebel blockade of the federal capital,
not only in Washington, but through
out the country. and especially in the
confederacy. That night, therefore,
but few people in Washington went to
their beds to sleep as they listened to
the booming of the great guns on the
banks of the Potomac President Lin
coin, Mr.. Seward, the secretary of war,
and indeed nearly or quite all the mem
bers of the cabinet, embarked in a
steamer at the navy yard and followed
in the wake of the Pensacola down the
river, until she arrived off Shipping
point, where the first gun was fired
from the rebel batteries. There they
stopped their engine and pecred
through the night at tine receding hull
of the ship amid the flashes and booms
of guns. Never, perhaps, in the his
tory of our navy had SO much and SO
intense an interest been centered upon
ship Of war. uo
Orders from the navy department had
been issued to the captain of the Pen.

BACK FROM CHINA.
Miss Lou Philips Relates the
Story OF Missionary Work
In SuchOW.

The NJ. f. Church, South, was
crowded last night by an audience
that came out to hear Miss Louise
Phillips, returned missionary from
China, relate her experience and the
story of church work being done in
the land of the celestials.
Miss Phillips is of medium size, has
q fascinating smile and voice that is
charmingly clear and sweet.
She uses no manuscript and
the story as she relates it falls
from her lips as fuently as the lines
run along in some beautiful book of
travel or romance. 81 was born
missionary" said the fair speaker,
"when | entered the kingdom of
Christ. But it was long time before
l could get my sympathies fully en-
listed in the cause of the Chinese, for
| had been taught when a child that
while we in Missouri were laboring
hard, the Chinaman was sleeping, and
that did not strike my childish fancy
favOrably. Since then I have learned
to form a better opinion of our friends
in China. ;"
Miss Philips and her sister went
together as missionaries. They landed
at the beautiful city of Shanghai and
from there went by way Of one of the
great canals ninety miles inland to
the metropolis Of SuchOw, walled
city, and their permanent post OF
duty. Their first work was to begin
to learn enough of the language to
enable them to ask for the necessaries
of life, and after that to master the
Chinese tongue so as to teach in the
schools, secular and religious.
In Suchow, which, from a foreign
point of view, is the most important
place in the empire, there are about
1000 foreigners. There are three
churches-English, French and Nom
Conformist. DR.. Parker is the chief
missionary. and under his charge
there are 200 native church members.
Miss Philips spoke of the arduous
and encouraging work being done in
the schools and how literally the new
converts give tithes to missionary
work out of the pittance they earn at
daily toll.
The hospital is partly in charge
of her sister who was educated In this
country for the practice of surgery
and medicine. Many patients are
treated every day and only a small
fee is charged, if any at all.
The fair missionary speaks hope
fully of the outlook for mission work
in China and urges that more money
and more missionaries are needed to
push the work in that vast territory.
