cannot eat wire nails, nor can they

OUR esteemed friend, Mr.. L. S. q.
Pitzer, seems to be very much put out
that the REGISTER reported him as
having bullyrasged Mr.. Wilson, and
says he did no such thing. Well, we
do not know what else to call it. As
we remember his speech. Mr.. Pltzer
did not touch on issues at all. He
simply spoke for his own candidates
and against the Democratic nominees.
We certainly heard no good word for
the latter, but on the contrary it
seemed to us-and TO many others
that the speaker was very bitter
against Mr.. Wilson. If we misunder-
stood Mr.. Pitzer we beg his pardon

Stephen Decatur and his crew? It was
on the Sd of August, 1904, that that gal
liant sailor boarded and captured two
( Tripolitan gunboats in succession. The
enemy had nearly double the men and
double the ordnance on board of his
ships, but he could not resist the on
slaught of those who fought under the
stars and stripes There are now two
guns at the Washington navy yard which
were taken in that encounter.
They are fine specimens of workman
ship. and their flowing designs and the
crowned monograms of some Castilian
monarch bear testimony to their origin,
but they do not inform us that Able
bodied Seamen Sears and Whitridge
paid with their hearts blood for those two
trophies. Those sailors were the first to
jump on the deck of the enemy's vessel
and lead their comrades to victory. At
that time all civilized governments
chased the Moorish and Arab pirates in

SURGEONS TABERNACLE.

AS an educator and philanthropist
also his work has been great, and in the
private circle he was known as quiet hui
morist. Though "luridly orthodox" as
one critic says, there was nothing gloomy
in his nature. The Stockwen orphanage,
of which he was virtually the founder,
educates and cares for5O0 boys and girls
at cost of $50, 900 per year. Many other
missionary and charitable institutions
have fourished by his support. A rather
censorious critic once took him to task
for driving to these various institutions
on Sunday, alleging the duty to let the
horses rest on that day.
''Ah," was the happy reply, 81 am
under grace but my horses are under the
law, SO l give them their Sabbath on
Saturday. He often confessed his fond
ness for tobacco and maintained that a
good cigar rested and refreshed him.
He recently presented an estimate Of his
work, from which it appeared that he
had then delivered over 1900 sermons
which had been printed, besides many
minor discourses. D. ii. BEADLE.

tho Mediterranean, for those freebooters
were internationally branded as outlaws
and they were the terror OF the mer-
chant vessels of every nation. Decatur's
feat was splendid one, as his vessel was
small and both French and English
ships had experienced many check on
the same spot before.
During the civil war the ram Merri
mac was much feared, and more than
once did she play havoc among the ves-
sells of the north. There is hardly an
American who does not know one tale
or another of the fight between that
ironclad and the two United States
frigates Cumberland and Congress on
March s, 1869. To and fro swayed the
chances of victory, but the wooden ves-
sells proved no match for the mailclad
destroyer. Her decks and sides torn
open, half her crew killed, the Cumber-
land finally went down with her flag still
flying, but before the waters closed over
her forever she sent one more shell growl-
ing through the air as a last farewell
1t struck the big bow chaser of the
Merrimac and carried away the muzzle
of the heaviest and most effective gun
of the Confederates. The credit for this
act of bravery is given to sailor named
Emerson, who coolly fired his gun,
although he had smashed shoulder and
arm and the vessel was sinking.
Another instance of recorded bravery
is the act of Quarter Gunner Wood, who
lost both arms and legs, and on being
offered assistance cried out: Back to
your guns, boys! Give 'em ftsl Hur-
rah for the fagT The defense Of the
Cumberland deserves place among the
bravest and most daring exploits on.rec-
ord in the annals of the naval history Of
the world The same fate that swept
the Cumberland from the surface of the
seas also struck the Congress, which after
gallant struggle went upin flames.
The details of the blowing up of the
Confederate vessel Albemarle by Lieu
tenant Gushing are well known. Of the
six men who were on board the little
steam launch only Paymaster Francis
A. Swan is now alive. Three of the
crew were killed, and among them two
who helped to fire the spar torpedo
which proved SO fatal to the Confederate
vessel.
On board all these ships there were
American sailors whom neither the gales
of the seas nor the storms of battles could
cause to swerve. They were "on duty"
and that suEaced.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-02-05

I recall the fact that when I was a
French sailor lad at the time, just before
the outbreak Of the civil war; that Amer
lean Jack Tars were considered the pluck
lest and most cool headed men that
walked the decks of any ships afoat.
They stood high in the esteem of both
the French and English, and it was a
common saying that if the Yankee"
coulds not go through a gale no one else
could. In some respects conditions have
changed, for the United States merchant
marine is not as large now as it was
then. But though the deep sea ships
have gone, the sailors have not. They
will remain as long as the breakers of
the Pacific and the Atlantic tumble
laundering on the mighty shores of the
Union. At present the navy and mer-
chant marines do not offer wide OPP
portunity to American mariners. They
much prefer to brave the sea on their
own account, either in fishing smacks,
in whalers or sealers. But when the
country needs them it will find that they
are all there, ready to respond to the
call. Few nations have such fine ma
terial to draw sailors from as the United
States. The type of American fisherman
who was able to earn his commission
in the naval wars of the Union has not
yet died out.
The terrible disaster that overlook
American and German war vessels be-
fore Samoa three years ago is still fresh
in the memory of all. On that occasion
the seamanship of Yankee sailors re-
ceived test which proved them equal
to any emergency. It can only be sur
missed how many more lives would have
been lost in that catastrophe but for the
courage and pluck displayed in battling
against the furious waters and hurri-
cane the like of which is almost unknown
in marine history. How the Nipsic was
run ashore by Captain Mullen and thus
saved will never be forgotten, nor can
time ever efface the memory of the
deeds of Lieutenant r. M. G. Brown, of
the Trenton, on that occasion.
