RECALLED.
TT tefeaf of n British Squadron
the Yankee Privafeer
Gen. Armstrong.

VHINGToN, Oct. 21.-Secretary
Gram today practically decided
th3e had no authority of law to
eff final settlement of the cele-
brd case of the privateer brig
G Armstrong, on which VIM.
Hane's play of "The Senator"
isd to be founded, by paying to
SChester Reid. xr>,surviving
.bhfthe Arms;oco % &''ommander,
a[e.esidue GlCssoo 1870 80 icy appropri-
I'eQ by congress as reward for
the service done by the privateer in
defeating a British squadron in
September, 1914.
The battle between the Gen.
Armstrong and the British ships
occurred in the harbor of Fayal, in
the Azores, where the Armstrong
was lying at anchor. On September
90, 1914, the vessel was attacked by
her majesty's ship Plantagenet, "A
guns the frigate Rota, IA guns,
and the brig Carnation, IS
guns. The British numbered
two thousand men, while the
Armstrong had only seven guns
and ninety men. After a two davs'
battle, Reid defeated the three
English ships, which were part of
an expedition concentrating at ia
maica to join Admiral Cochrane
before New Orleans, and Reid's
stand detained them until too late
to be effective in fighting General
Jackson. This detention, 1T is
claimed, saved New Orleans and
Louisiana from British conquest.
In 1915 the United States made
a claim against Portugal for indem-
nity in wing British vessels to
fire ON an American ship in one of
it's harbors, and President Zachary |
TAYLOR submitted the question to |
the arbitration of Louis Napoleon,
who decided against the United
States. Reid had died meanwhile,
and turned over the prosecution OF
his claim for indemnity to his son.
In 1882 Congress appropriated |
$4,000 for the benefit of the own
ers, officers, and crew of the Arm
strong. and the present claimant,
sam Chester Reid, secured counsel
fees and his fathers share, amount
ing to about $4,000. Some of the
claimants did not appear, and Mr..
Reid contended that the T16,OOo
get aside -as their share should be
given him.
Secretary Gresham can find no
authority for so disposing of it, and
the case will probably be sent to
congress for action. Since the
time of Mr.. Frelinghuysen, who
distributed the award, other secre-
taries of state have held that MIR.
Reid is not entitled to the money.

Cardinal principles Of Heading.

In choice Of reading there are two car
dinal principles which should ever be borrs
In mind-fist, that il is necessary to keep
fairly abreast OF the principal thoughts and
news of the time, and, second, that it Is
essential, in order 10 a right estimate OF
present events, TO Gull at any rate some of
the choicest flowers of the literature and
history of the past. To keep fairly apace
with the general thought and news, news
papers and magazines are Indispensable,
though too much attention cannot be paid
to Emerson's advice in this regard-to
learn the art Of quickly and profitably as
similating their contents. To be forever
wrapped up in newspaper and to depend
entirely upon IL for mental sustenance is
truly a humiliating position for people
heirs Of all ages, foremost in the ranks Of
time" But it is a common one, for there
are thousands who, never reading any
thing else, are content to let their intellects
starve in the midst of plenty. II is indeed
this very plenty which is so embarrassing.
The second principle that has been indi-
cated-that it is necessary to obtain a well
proportional view of present events-in-
wolves the reading of history, biography,
philosophy and fiction. IL is a striking
comment on the prevalence Of popular ig
/ norance that a sensational murder will pro
/ vide a mofth's topic for conversation, while
| the publication of profound work which
I Is the result Of long years of toll will pass
unheeded. A people educated by reading
that which would give them a just sense OF
| proportion could not fail TO discriminate
between the relative importance of the two
events For this purpose English itera-
I ture is admirably adapted, Lord Macaulay
averring that there is in the English elias
sizes body Of teaching power which the
/ literature Of Greece and Rome cannot rival
mo people has on the whole written SC
much and 50 well, says the Rev. Stopford
/ Brooke; mo people can point to 80 long
and so splendid a train of poets and pros,
writer's. "-Chamber Journal.

The dance of the ostrich is one Of those
peculiar native customs which certain
fowls develop, without any apparent I'm
centive except it may be the law Of heredi
ty. II usually occurs at early morning
when the young, strong birds are let out o.
their enclosure, and is said 20 be entirely
due to awkwardness and uncertainty. Thia
leads them to advance and turn in n der.
vishlike whirl which is very quaint and fan
tastic as they float about assisting theii
motions by their outspread wings. They
circle and reverse almost as a Walter
would, and when a large number Of these
strange birds go through their dancing an
tics, it is almost impossible to believe that
they have not been taught the accomplish
ment by "a dancing master. Their waltz
often ends in disaster, as they break each
others legs, which is certain death, or be-
come dizzy and fall down in a demoralized
heap. The kick Of an ostrich has been
known 60 destroy life.
In the opening chapter Of Rider Hag-
CARDS jess" there is a highly dramatic
account Of a fight for life with an ostrich
and it is historically correct In fighting
they are apt to break their own legs, they
give such desperate blows Indeed Il
would seem as if all the vital energies OF
the great bird were conferred I'm its long, un
calmly legs, which are graceful only wher
going across their native grass covered
plains with a rapidity Of motion that must
be seen to be appreciated. Detroit Ere,

In the Westminster Gazette the other day
appeared a lively little dialogue in which
servant on being engaged demanded in her
turn a reference as to her employers char
acter. Why not? A servant runs many
dangers in entering an unknown house.
She may find herself under a mistress of
harsh temper, suspicious, niggardly, fidg-
ETY., exacting, whose moods she must en-
dure or she may have her character blasted
for life by that woman's malignity. But
there are even worse dangers. She may
find herself 10 the company of people thor
oughly bad lawless, depraved, and so may
lose her character almost irretrevably.
The mistress in the dialogue is represent
ed as stricken speechless with rage. Well,
but why? l am credibly informed that no
servant goes into a strange house if she can
help it without ascertaining the character
of the mistress from the outgoing occupant
of the position. You see, ladies, when you
allow your maid to open the door TO the
applicant you give yourself away. It is
done in a few words: "A stingy devil.
Horrid temper. Nasty, suspicious cat, al
ways prying aud poking about. Yon won't
stay long" Or she's good sort, and Pm
sorry to go. Wouldn't go If wasn't to be
married" Perhaps it would be well to
make a virtue Of necessity. The dialogue
should have ended something as follows:
your name is Martha Rollingpin Well
1 like your manners, and if your reference
/ speaks well Of you ] will give you a trial
You viii probably like reference as re
CARDS myself. The cook who is leaving
