An Old Buccaneer.

Il recently met a survivor of Pirate
Laftte's band of freebooters," said
Thomas Haines, once lieutenant in the
United States navy. He was a tougl
looking specimen, and must have been
well past eighty years of age, for it is
more than sixty years since Laftte had
his headquarters on Galveston island
and preyed upon the commerce of the
Gulf, The relic of those half forgotten
times was an inmate of a Jersey City
charitable institution aud was not much
inclined to discuss bygones, He said
however, that Latitte was a very hand,
some Frenchman more than six feet in
height, well made and possessed of won
derful talents as a commander. He
ruled the toughest lot of men ever con.
gregated on one island as though they
were flock of lambs. Occasionally 6
lawless spirit would rebel, however, but
his days thenceforth were brief and full
of trouble. Every woman who came in
contact with Laftte fell in love with
him, and he was as safe among his fe-
male friends in New Orleans as on Gal
weston island surrounded by his armed
buccaneers. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

Production of Portland Cement.

M. Giron read before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia paper on the trade
of the world in Portland cement, in the
course of which he said that the present
annual production in Europe amounts to
over 90, 00O, 900 barrels and its CONNER
cial value to over c7, 10000 The first
factory was established at .,gorthfeet, on
the Thames. The process was so crude
that in 1850 only four factories were in
operation In England there is now
over $500, 600 barrels made each year.
The process is much the same as it was
twenty years ago. The raw materials
are chalk and clay, both pure, and al
though inferior processes are employed
they make a satisfactory cement.
A few years ago the entire product Ct
the kilns was put on the market, but the
fineness of the Continental cements led
English makers to improve their pro-
cesses, although even now English ce,
ment is not as rule as firm as Geneva
or French Portland New York Even

ONLY A C8ILD'S KISS.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
He was a bounty jumper and had been
shot down while trying to escape from
the guardhouse. He was a burly, big
man, fierce of look and rough of speech,
and when they brought him into the
hospital he cursed and raved in a way to
make you chill. He had received NOR
tai wound, but death had no terrors for
him. When the surgeon told him that
he must die within forty-eight hours, he
replied.
"Bah! What of il? The only favor 1
have to ask is that You keep snivelers
away [ want no prayin' and Singin'

He had been a wicked man. He boast
ed of it. He ridicuied the idea of here
after and cursed the Bible and religion.
Men and women came to speak with him,
so that he might not die as dog, but he
Knocked and cursed hem. We, who were
watching for the end, saw the shadow of
death when it fell. He realized that life
was ebbing, but still he cursed and re-
viled An hour before he died the wife
of wounded sergeant came to visit her
husband She brought with her little
fair haired girl of 4 or years old, and
as she talked the child slipped away and
wandered up and down the aisles to in
I'll nj; A
score of us tried to coax her nearer, but
she was coy and bashful.
When she reached the cot wherein lay
the bounty jumper, the pallOr OF death
on his face, but fighting the specter
away, she paused and stared at him.
When he saw her, smile fitted over
his face, and the fierce light died out OF
his eyes for the first time. He beckoned
her 10 approach, and to our great sur
prise she hesitatingly advanced until she
stood beside his cot. The mother rose
up in alarm, but the nurse whispered to
her not to call the child.

as the man reached out his hand and
touched her golden curls.
"Aye, child, I'm dyngl' he whisper

''Bnt you wanted me, didn' you?"
"Yes-God bless your

Eyes, dear"
''I'se SO sorry. guess I'll kiss you. "
AS her lips touched his cheek the death
rattle in his throat frightened her, and
she ran away to her mother. The kiss
was still warm when his eyes closed, his
head fell back, and he shivered and died.
''See the wonderful change in his
FACET whispered a nurse.
Ayel it was wonderful The hard lines
had melted out, and there was smile
lowering aboIt the mouth. That savage
expression, which had intensified as the
hours passed and the end came nearer,
had been kissed away by the little child.
But for her he would have died ctr>ing
his God. Mayhap, in the seconds be,

asked for mercy.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FREelDeN1.
taken from the department In which Il
is filed to the white house, given to tho
executive clerk and transmitted to tho
senate.
The executive clerk Is o. Il. Pruden.
His full name is euphonious and altiso-
nant; it is Octavius Leonidas Pruden.
When he was = boy At school the young
people called him ''Tave." He was
private secretary to President Hayes,
and has been in the public service at
the white house for many years. Dur
ing the administration of President
Arthur he was made executive clerk
and was retained in that Office BY Pres
idents Cleveland and Harrison. He will
probably continue in the service for an
indefinite period Of time.
At the hour of noon, when the senate
Is in session, Mr.. Pruden takes large
square leather portfolio, places all NOM
nations in II, enters the white house
coupe. and Is driven to the capitol He
also carries with hmm . list Of
the nominations, duplicated upon

ters the main door Of the senate cham

chief page. leaves his seat, which is
near that Of the vice president walks
around back Of the seats Of the sena-
tors. welcomes Mr.. Pruden as the rep
resentative Of the president by grasping
his hand. and then. facing the vice
president. he bows low. and announces:
"A message from the president Of the
United StateA"
Nj. Pruden then steps forward. and.
bowling to the occupant Of the chair,
saws: mr.. President, have the honor
TO submit for the consideration Of the
senate sundry messages in writing. from
the president Of the United States"
He then hands the nominations toCapt.
Bassett, who walks down the main aisle
to the desk Of the secretary Of the sem
ate, which is In front Of the raised plat
form upon which the vice president
sits, and delivers she documents to that
Official.
