HE CAUGHT THE BIRD.
Admiral Jouett's Story About His
CAPTURE of a BlOckade-Runner.

Boston Transcript.
Admiral Jouett tells an odd story of a
blockade-runner. He was in command of
the Meiacomet at the time. The blockade
runner referred to was slippery vessel.
She was so swift that every attempt to
catch her had failed. Farragut declared
that she must be taken at all hazards. and
delegated the job to Jouett. "Jim." he
said, 81 count on you to fetch me that bird.
whatever happens" So it came about
that the Metacomet lay in wait for the
artful dodger on Campeachy Banks.
There was reason to believe that she
would come that way before long. Mean
while the commander OF the Warshlp set
to work to transform his craft in such ia
manner that her own builder would not
have recogn lied her.
The first thing he did was to paint broad
streak all around her hull. Then he hoisted
spars aloft and arranged them so as to look
like double topsail yards, such as merchant
men carried in those days. By such devices
the vessel was made to resemble Mexican
trader. She was anchored near the shoals,
as if trying to catch fish. So she was, but 1t
was very big one she was after. The guns
were covered with tarpaulins for a further
disguise, and 1t was ordered that no uni
forms should be worn on deck. The COM
mander put on his oldest suit of clothes.
In short nobody would have surmised that
a warsbip armed TO the teeth was concealed
beneath such an innocent exterior.
When the smoke of the steamer was seen
at the expected point on the horizon, Jou-
EFT was confident that the game was in
sight. He even went so far as to inter-
view the steward in relation to a bill of
fare, saying that he meant to entertain the
captain of that blockade-runner at dinner
the saue evening. The latter craft slowly
rose TO the horizon. When she came within
a couple OF nautical miles, the Metacomet
hoisted Mexican flag. The stranger re-
sponded by running up French colors.
She had no suspicion of the true character
of the foe that was lying in wait. With
the utmost confidence she steamed past,
and her astonishment must have been
great when the Metacomet fred a gun
across her bows. In moment the ship Of
war was revealed in her true character,
her decks crowded with men, and her
armament unveiled. Her commanders in
vtation to dinner for that evening was not
refused by the captain Of the blockade
runner,

PRIVATE ALLEN.
How the Mississippi Congressman
Got His Army Nickname.

Atlanta Constitution.
II never knew until to-day" said we'll
known Georgia politician. 'how Repre-
sentative Allen of Mississippi got the nick
name Private John Allen"
''How was it?" somebody asked
He was running for Congress against
General Tucker out in Mississippi, and
Tucker made speech one day whooping
himself up on his war record. He started
out by saying in stentorian voice: L
slept one night before the battle in q
tent
This was enough for Allen. When he
got up to speak he said: Yes, boys, Gen.
eral Tucker did sleep in that tent that
night, and ] stood guard on picket around
that tent Now, all you here to-day who
slept in tents vote for Tucker, but those
who stood guard in the rain and cold vote
for John Allen" From that moment 10
this lie has been called Private John
Allen. Ofoourse he was elected.

The faces of buildings have now happily
dropped these ways, and one may see
almost anywhere new buildings that are
harmonies in shades of a single color;
whole buildings in yellow or in red or in
brown that are delightful to the eye and
restful to the brain. And one sees these
buildings not only in the more Dretentious
and snowy parts of the city. but in the
tenement districts and everywhere. To

The rings, according to those who deal in
them, are made of seven metals, and either
the metallic combination or the magic
number exercises some occult influence
unfavorable to the development of rheu-
matism. Policemen. soldiers and others
much exposed to the weather day and
night are said to be the chief purchasers of
rheuma attic rings. and inQuirers are sOberly
assured that the rings have been known TO
give relief in many painful cases of the

THE DOUBLE CROSS.

How Ex-Jockey Peppers Fooled the
Northern Sports.
A large negro named Peppers will be
remembered as jockey and long dis
tance race rider in this part of the coun-
try. He has gone to San Francisco and
blossomed out as q pretty fair pugilist.
The San Francisco Chronicle of Satur-
day contains the following of how Pep
pere is supposed to have downed some
sporting crooks:
The recent Peppers.Zelner contest is
causing considerable comment in sport
ing circles. A huge job wss contem-
plated. Both men, however. fought to
win, but, as previously intimsted in
this paper, an attempt was made
to "fix" Peppers. In fact, Pep
pers was "fxed." At least, that origin
ators of the play labored under that de-
lusion to such an extent that they risked
all of $4,000. Peppers promised by all
that was holy that he would fall out.
In consequence Peppers was loaded
down with pool tickets which called for
ZGlner, and every one connected with
this little arrangement, which was
planned in little room off Market
street, felt happy in the anticipation ol
scooping in several hundred dollars
apiece. Peppers, however, gave them
what is known in the sporting world as
1.-The double CROSS" Several prominent
sports were implicated in the deal
They are mad clean through, but none
of them dare cay word. The schemerE
who have been engaged in fixing fights
during the past month have been
'cinched" rather hard.
