Blueiacket Rlggin.

The honors paid to the dead body OF
Boatswain's Mate. CHARLES w. R1GG1N. who
was brutally killed last October by mob
in the streets Of Valparaiso. snow how deep
hold thnt outrage took upon the feelings
of the American people.
The responsibility for the affair has been
fixed, and atonement as far as possible has
been made. The Government and people
OF the United States with unmistakable in
dicnation demanded redress. and Chilli.
under tho pressure OF the mobilization OF
the American fleet. made the necessary
apology and followed it with pecuni-
airy reparaton. In the unusual marks
OF respect. therefore. which have at
tended the bringing OF the body Of this
American sailor to Philadelphia for burial.
and the imposing ceremonies to take place
in that city, there is no purpose to stir up
fresh anger against the Chilian Govern
ment or the mob OF Valparaiso. The diplo-
matte incident has been closed. and the in
ternational bearings Of the affair are ended.
But the feeling which prompted the
American people to go to war rather than
submit to the insult to their flag and the
malt rcatment of their sailors in foreign
port, now expresses itself in paying more
than ordinary funeral honorS to RIGGIN.
His offence, and the offence OF TURN

inflicted by his uSsailants. WAS that

into their conduct having failed to show
that single one OF the men was found
drunk or disorderly." They were attacked
because hostility had been stirred up
against the United States through misrep-
resentations OF tho acts of our navy dur
ing the revolution in Chill.
Tho spontaneous exhibition OF public
spirit which took place when the news OF
the Valparaiso outrage reached this coun-
try. afforded n splendid evidence that pa
trioism is Still! n ruling sentiment among
tho American people. Lumcntable as that
outrage was. tho deaths OF RIGGIN and
TURNDULL wcTo not without fruit. They
led to demonstration OF the fact that the
people OF tho United States would stand by
their sailors everywhere. and would en-
force rcparation for any wrongs done to
them and any afrront to the flag.

A Solemn Joker.

An indianapolis society man played a
mean trick during the sleig hing season,
and the Young lady hasn't spoken to
him since. They had been old friends
for long time, and it was natural that
they should carelessly drive away from
the madding crowd on Meridian street
and explore the country roads. After
they had gotten ont about three miles
away from anywhere, the gentleman
startled his companion by suddenly
looking her in the eye and remarking:
Miss Nellie, we have been friends
for long time, and l know you have
perfect confidence in me. But here we
sre, far away from everybody, where no
one could hear you if you should cry
OUT
The frightened young woman was on
the verge of springing from the sleigh,
but she was even more astounded than
frightened, and before she could gather
her wits he continued:
''Now, Miss Nellie, want to beg of
you the privilege of one sweet-smoke!
May light a cigar" And he never
even smiled.-Indianapolis Journal.

AR GObblerS 10.

Thepulpit manners Of clergymen are SO
exempt from frank public criticism that
many minister continues all his life in
faults of delivery that he might have
corrected had he been plainly told of
them. In one such case a little girl was
instrumental in curing famous Amer
ican preacher of an afdictingly pompous
air.
His habit was to pause at the end Of
each division OF lis discourse, look i'm
pressively upon the pews, take a breath
30 very long that it seemed to increase
his size, and then 20 on with an air Of
the utmost Importance.
One Sunday this good man paused
Rfter his ''tenthly" for an unusually long
time. Little Jane, who had been trying
TO keep awake, moved as though greatly
relieved.
But the clergyman had not finished
He was about getting ready for another
''head" when little Jane audibly whis-

Till my hair has all turned from black to

I'd gladly give every cent I'm worth.
And throw my wife's mother in,

Would ever whistle again.

the ship on fire, but the fire was soon ex-
tingUished
After having gone eight times around the
circle IN which the two ships were fighting it
was seen that the Alabama was settling bv the
stern. Her commander evidently realized her
condition, for he put about with the intention
4 OF escaping into neutral waters. When she
came around 1t was seen that only two guns of
her port battery were working. Her side was
| shot away. The kearsarge poured another
deadly volloy into the already disabled ship.
WHITE FLAG.
At this last broadside "a white flag was shown
over the stern of the Alabama and small boat
was dispatched to the kearsarge with an officer,
who declared the surrender of the Alabama and
begged for assistance. The Alabama was sink
ing fast and her decks we're encountered with
dying and wounded men. Her small boats were
shot away and unless help was promptly rem
6ered all must drown.
While the kearsarge yet remained some dis
1 lance away from the wreck the shattered hulk
plunged out of sight. sinking stern foremost in
275 feet of water. An English yacht which had
been watching the battle steamed up and at
| the request of Capt. Winslow commenced to
rescue the Alabamas crow, who were floating
around on spars and bits of wreckage. She
| picked up Capt. Semmes. Executive Officer Kell,
WE'VE OIlcers ana tWenty-slX men. ana lmme-

and Surgeon Lewellyn were drowned. Nine Of

were wounded.
This was the end of the famous Alabama
| which for two years had secured the seas in
every quarter of the globe destroying federal
! shipping valued a. sl5.OO0G00 and virtually
\ sweeping the merchant flag of the United
States from the ocean. The fight was prear-

lay at anchor off Flushing, Capt. Winslow was
