Admiral Jouett tells an odd story of
plockadc runner. He was in com
lnand of the Metacomct Mt the time.
The blockade runner referred to was
a slippery vessel. She was so swift
that every attempt to catch her had
failed, Earragut declared that she
must be taken at all hazards, and del
esated the lob to .lountt. Jim" he
SAID, 81 count on you to fetch me tnat
Sird, whatever happens" So it came
ahout that the Metacomct lay in wait
for the artful dodgcr on Camp2achg
banks There was reason to believe
that she would come that way before
long. Meanwhile the commander OF
the warship set to work to transform
his craft in such manner that her
own builder would not have rccog-
nized her
The first thing he did was to paint
broad streak all around her hull.
Then he hoistcd spars aloft and ar.
ranged them so as to look like double
topsail yards, such as merchant men
carried N those days. By such de-
vices the vessel was made to resemble
n Mexican trader. She was anchored
near the shoals as if trying to catch
fish. So She was, but it was very
big one she was after The guns were
covered with tarpaulins for Il further
disguise, and it was ordered that no
uniforms should be worn on deck.
The commander put on his oldest suit
of clothes. In short nobody would
have surmiscd that a warship 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 hor-
lion Jouett was confident that the
game was in sight. lie even went so
far as to interview the steward in re-
lation to n bill of fare, saying that 10
meant to entertain the captain of that
blockade runner at dinner the Same
evening. The latter craft slowly rose
to the horizon. When she came with
in n couple of nautical miles the Met.
acomet hostcd the Mexican flag. The
stranger responded 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
astonishinent must have been great
when the Mctacomct fired gun
across her bows. In moment tho
ship of war was revealed in her true
character. her dccIes crowded with
men, and her armament unveiled. Her

Far stretched the portico. dim and grand

Had called to a last reviewing.
And the streets of the city were white and

No football echoed across tho square;
But out OF the misty midnight air
heard in the distance the trumpet blarc,
And the wanuerint light winds seemed TO boar
The sound of a far tattooin,.
Then held my breath with fear and dread;
For Into the square, with brazen tread,
There rode figure whose stately head
O'erlooked the review that morninE.
That never bowed from its irm set seat
When tho living column passed It's feet,
Yet now rode steadily up the street
To the phantom bugle's warning.

onspicuous for his bravery, and his
gallantry won for him a second Lieu

Lieutenant Adams displayed the most
conspicuous gallantry. Nearly dozen
color bearers of his regiment had been
shot, and at last he seized both 5 and
ards and brought them off the field
himself unscathcd. At the battle of
gettysburg the Fourteenth Massachu-

battle Lieutenant Adams was in com

November he was again with his COM

The use of the bicycle for military
purposes, after having developed with
great IA pidity in France, has suddenly
received n check. General Loizillon,
the minister of war, has, it appears,
little faith in it. lie has issued an
order that the cyclst corps are to be
used only on prepared ground. In
time of war, he says, their use. even
if no account is taken of the liability
of the machine to break, is likely 10
cause serious miscalcula,ions, and
they can only rarely be substituted for
men on horse back. The cyclists hence
forth, therefore, or until some sue
cessor to General Loizillon more fav or
able to them is appointed, will be re-
served by his instructions, for garr-
son duty, for the great maneuvers,
and in time of war for certain easy
communications at the rear of the
forces.

changes the manner of paying for
these lands. The amendments pro-
vides for the mediate appropriation of
S295 ,736, and the remainder, SIS, 900, ,OOO,
to be paid in five equal annu al Install
ments, the first to be due in two years.
Those anxious to open the land
were not stricklers as the manner or
way the money should be appropriated,
but, as representing the settlers and
those wanting the land thrown open
for settlement, they would consent to
sligh change. The opponents OF the
bill were assured that Congress would
be adjourned before the appropriation
bill passed, if opposition to this bill
was not Withdrawn. Those who OBJ
jected to the Strip bill did not care to
be the cause of an extra session OF Con-
gress for the purpose of passing the
appropriation bill, and withdrew their
opposition.
The Oklahoma fellows will insist on
Hoke Smith and the President consum-
ing as little time as possible in dispos=
ing of the departmental routine neces-
sary before the land can be given over
to the settlers. Much depends upon
the incoming Secretary Of the Interior
and if he will show the proper amount
of interest the settlers will be legally
permitted to enter the lands by the
