A Sermon Heard for go Miles.
[Boston Globe.

The Rev. Geo. n. Howard. d. D., of Lowell,
whom met in this city the other evening, had
uni9ne experience two years ago, when he
was delegate from this State TO the National
Convention Of the Sons of Veterans New
England sent large delegation to Minneapolis
The delegates Travelled in two special cars. ar.d
made very jolly party. Sunday found the
party on the road, and it was suggested by some
one that it would be proper thing to hold
some kind of religious service. The matter
was brought TO Mr. Howard's notice. and lie
Immediately approved of il. An extempora-
neous choir was organized, and one Of the
musicians of the party took his station at the
piano in one OF the cars. The occupants Of the
other ears were notified of what was about TO
take place. aud by the time that everything
was in readiness the car that had been chosen
as chapel was filed TO the doors. The train
hands. and even the porters. took their places
among the rest The service was an interest
ing one aud Mr.. Howard preached an eloquent
sermon. From the time that he bagaH TO speak
till the time he had finished the train had run
over 80 miles. From that day to the present
Mr. Howard has claimed TO be the only living
clergyman who has preached serman that was
heard for so miles, and his friends are fond of
referring TO him as the champion long dis
tance preacher of America"

Our Sea Hero.

Considering the duration Of the war of the
rebellion, the extent of area covered by its
operations aud the number Of combats that
took place both upon sea and land, that great
contest was not as productive as one would
have imagined it might have been in popular
herOes-that is, men who won National or
worldwide reputation by their yigor and dash
and their readiness to take all sorts of personal
risks. There was no lack Of brave men in the
Northern army or navy, but the requirements
of duty seemed to have kept them, in almost
every instance, within prosaic lines; at least,
it was the rare chance when one of them was
rendered conspicuous by some special act of
daring. In the army Sheridan and Custer
were noteworthy figures, and in the navy there
were Morris. Foote and Cushing But in both
branches of the service there were men who
won the particular class of fame we are refer
ring to at a time when they held subordinate
commands. The one commanding officer,
either upon sea land, who gained repnta-
tion for personal daring was Admiral Farragut.
We are inclined to think that he approached
nearer to the old ideal of the fighting sea hero,
so dear to the heart of the Anglo-Saxons,
whether English or American, than any of
those who during the war were connected
with our navy-and this at time when he
held a position which might in certain ways
have justified him in holding himself in re-
serve. 1t is therefore fitting that O man who
made himself dear TO the hearts OF our people,
in the way that Lawrence, Decatur, Perry,
Porter, Paul Jones and others did in the earlier
days of the Republic, should have statue
erected TO his memory near the harbor OF one
of the great seaports of this country. It de-
tracts from the merits OF none of the other
brave men who did their duty faithfully during
the war to render TO this chief of the naval
service that pecnliaD measure of homage that
his services deserved. 81

"The Suggestion a Good One."
TLouisr;De fKuA (,,,n,,erc;oyI

The policy of wedding out fraudulent PEN
sioDs is good one, and the policy of cutting
down excessive pensions is a good one, and all
good citizens and honest pensioners will re-
joice to see it faithfully and fairly carried out.
1t was inevitable that some fraudulent pensions
should be granted. The practice, however. of
parading every case that is found and making
an outcry over it. as if the whole roll were to
be judged by it. is unj ust to honest pensioners
and to the whole body of American soldiery.
As The NATIONAL TRIBUNE well says, that
is not the way sensible people form conclusions.
They do not judge Of carload of apples by
one rotten one, or by an especially good one
that may be picked out Nor do men assign
value to a cargo Of wheat by hunting out q few
particularly plump grains a score of shriv-
eled ones. They make up their judgment "by
the run of the lot, and therefore The TRIBUNE
urges the new Com missioner to take up l. 600
or 1000 average cases. or any 1000 or 1000
cases allowed in succession, and collect and
tabulate all the essential facts bearing on their
merits. That will give the country some plain
facts to go Oh, and indicate in a way worth
something the probable proportion Of fraudu-
lent cases in the whole list. Statistics care
fully gathered from the records have already
shown that the great majority of pensioners
served from one TO three years. The hundreds
Of thousands Of rejections show that discrimi.
nation has been used. THE TRIBUNE's sug-
gestion for testing the roll is a good one

and few, for the time being, were maniacs
indeed. What a scenel While life and
reason remain l never can forget it; and
dark-visaged memories thereof will haunt me
clear down to the threshold of the grave.
But, in charity and mercy, let me ring the
curtain down upon this sickening scene.
The darkest hour is said to be the one which
precedes the day, and this proved to be true
on board the Peabody. Within 10 minutes
from the time of this warning the wind
dropt instantly to a perfect calm. In less
than five minutes more it came again as
hard as ever, but from the opposite direc-
ton. This put stop to our headway
towards the reefs, and the anchor held in
less than six fathoms of water In about 10
minutes more the storm completely sub
sided.
1t was now daylight, and how we well
coined the approach of day! The hold of
the vessel contained some three feet of
water, and we went TO work with will and
bailed this out by hand till the fires could
be started and the engines set at work. We
then took a cable and gave it a few turns
around the rudder-post, near the top, and
then carried both ends of the cable forward
and gave each some three turns around the
aft-mast. Then Is soldiers took hold of
each end OF The cable, drew it taut, and our
steering-apparatus was complete.
At 1890 the steersman took his place, the
steam was turned on, the great paddle
wheels began to revolve, and amidst the
cheers from a thousand throats we started
back for the mouth of the Mississippi, and
entered its peaceful waters at p. H., arriv-
ing at New Orleans in safely at sunset on
the 10Th.
Although thus defeated by the elements
(the only power that ever defeated the 2Sth
ILL., from reaching Mobile Bay via the Gulf
of Mexico, we embarked that very night on
the steamer Alice Vivian, and proceeded via
Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Borgne, Missis-
sippi Sound, etc, and reached Mobile Bay at
sunset on the 18th. We took an active part
in the 14-days' siege and final capture of
Spanish Fort, and assisted in the capture of
Fort Blakeley on the 9th day of April, 1865,
this being the last important battle of all
the war.

Chinatown boasts Of great rarity in full
blooded Chinese who is probably the only red
headed one on the face of the earth. And what
is more, the Chinese has light com mplexion and
blue eyes, and he is cross-eyed.
Mish Go, as is the freak name, was born in

and came to San Francisco about n year ago,

and disliked by the great majority Of his coun-
trymen.

eyes resemble those Of sheep more than a hu-
man being. Msh Go lives in one of the dens
of Spofford alley, and is never seen in close as
sociation with other denizens Of Chinatown, ex-
cepting when he goes to certain stores to dispose
of cheap trinkets, by which means he acquires
a living :; r4
The reason of this Chinese being held in such
disfavor was explained by Wong Woh, a for

VERY many years ago" he said, There was
another red-headed ChiDaman in China. He
lived there SO long ago that no one now living
had ever seen him. Chew Fut was his name,
and he was tall and of fair complexion, from
some cause not pleasing in the eyes Of one of
the numerous gods. Chew Fut was known all
over North China, where he lived and grew to
manhood.
"One day it was disclosed to few of the
faithful that this particular Chinese with the
red hair must die. But it was not explained by
the deity why. 1t is not known to this day
why the order was disobeyed, for no steps were
taken to end the life of Chew Fut. and so a
fearful vengeance was wreaked on the people.
terrible earthquake occurred, and the waters
of tho sea overfowed the land, engulfng thou
