Children,s IiiyIlts.

haVe tney ever been considered,
ever classified and arranged? have
conventions ever discussed them and
brainy men and women ever fought
for them? and what besides punish
ment generally ovcr-severe for some
great fault and not in one case out of
hundred properly adapted to the
child's temperament) is the result of
any attempt on the part of the small
sufferer to secure them?
Children have right to the utmost
care, attention and considera ton,
even when it involves serious discom-
fort and trouble on the part of the
parent. The children did not insist
upon being born, they had no voice in
the matter To please ourselves we
bring little soul and body into this
world, endow it with strong feelings
and tastes, and daily hurt the one and
ignore the other to suit our own CON
venience, because they are only
children and will not know any bet
ter" Never was there such fallacv.
They may forget quickly, but while
they last their small woes are as deep
as ours, and the little heart which is
hurt by thoughtlessness aches as
sorely as it will in the years to come
Instead of laughing at the quick con-
ISOLATION we should thank God for it,
Children have right to justice, and
they almost never get it.
There was once little girl who
always had to choose between butter
and molasses on her griddle cakes,
while her parents had both. A trihe
yes, of course, but not to that child:
it rankled all her life long; the injus-
tice of it struck her afresh every day
that came, and no love nor attention
which her parents lavished on her in
other ways ever wiped out that mem
Dry.
They are expected to show self CON
troll that would honor mature per-
son. They sit at table loaded with
dainties, and must eat uninviting
plain food, seldom varied and served
in a not very tempting manner. They
are called greedy if they beg for what
every one around them is eating; and
if they do not finish all on their plates,
in many cases the cold, unappetizing
mess is served them again for dis

They have right to their own lit
tie persons, and are they not con-
stanily taken up, kissed and tossed
around by people whom they intense
ly dislike and whose touch is hateful
to them? These are only a few of the
wrongs children suffer every day and
all day, and how any child grows up
sweet-natured is n question not easily
answered. Tho greater rights, such
as the right to n healthy body, a clear
mind, and n proper start in life, are
subjects for deeper discussion than

Gray Cadets.

The question has often been asked
why the army cadets ut West Point
wear gray uniform, while the uni
form of the army is blue. The origin
of this distinction dates back to the
war of 1s12-l4 when the commissary
general of the army could not procure
the blue cloth required for General
Winfield Scott's brigade, and so they
were clad in gray. So distinguished
WAS the conduct of that brigade at
Lundy's Lane and Chippewa that
when, after the war of 1872, reor-
ganization of the West Point military
academy was made, out of compli-
ment to General Scott and his brigade,
the uniform of the corps of cadets
was changed from blue to gray.-New
York Tribune.

Cunning Won the Ra,tlc.

Yankee ingenuity in sea fights was
never shown to better advantage than
i'll the famous battlo between the
Pennsylvania state cruiser Hydcr
Ally and the British twenty-gun ship
General Monk, which took place near
Cape May Roads 11o years ago. In
those days the seaboard states
which'chose to do SO were permitted d
to maintain cruisers, Independently
of the United States navy, for the
purpose of protecting commerce with
in their own boundaries.
| A number of states availcd them
selves of this privilege, says the New
York Sun, and their cruisers were en-
gagged in some of the most creditable
battles in our naval history. The
commerce of Pennsylvania had been
greatly harassed by British cruisers
lowering off Cape May, and occasion
ally making incursions up the bay,
capturing any craft that came within
their reach. With view of checking
these inroads, the state of Pennsyl-
vanin fitted out the strongly built
merchant ship Hydcr Ally with six
teen six-pound guns, and placed her
| in charge of Lieutenant Joshua
Barney of the United States navy, and
| 100 mon.
On April s, 1852, the Hyder Ally
dropped down to Cape May Roads as
convoy to fleet of merchantmen tn at
had been endeavoring to get to sea.
While waiting for breeze to carry
them clear of the land, two English
cruisers were deserted standing in
shore. Barney made signal for the
merchantmen to make sail up tho bay
while he covered their retreat. The
English ships became widely sep
arated in the chase, and when one of
them, the twcnty-gun sloop-of- war
General Monk, was passing, the
Hydcr Ally fired u broadsidc and the
Engiishman put about to board. Per-
ceiving the intcntion of the British
commander, Lieutenant Barney in
structed his men at the wheel to ex-
ecute his next order "by the rule of
contrary" us he expressed it. Just
as tho ships were about to foul, the
quick-wittcd American commander
called out in voice loud enough to be
heard in the enemy's ships: Hard
aport your helm. Do you want him
to run aboard of us?" But instead of
putting the helm hard aport, the
hclmsman threw it to starboard,
bringing the Englishman's jibboom
afoul of the Hyder Ally's fore rigging.
This exposed the English ship to
rnliing fire from the entire American
broadsidc. Lashing the ships to-
gether, Lieutenant Barney for thirty
minutes poured in q destructive fro
upon tho helpless General Monk See
ing the hopclsssnoss of his condition,
the Englishman surrendered, and was
taken into the navy under the name
of General Washington. Barney's
prize mounted twenty nine Founders,
or nearly twice tho shot weight of tho
lIyder Ally. The English crew num-
bered 1876 men, of whom twenty were
killed and thirty-three were wounded.
The Hydcr Ally had four killed and
eleven wounded out of crew of ITO.

A lurid sunset sky.
With clouds that fled and faded fast
In Rhostly phantasy.

A Held up piled with slain,
with horse and rider blent in death,
Upon the battle plain
The dying and the dead lie low;
For them no more shall rise
The evening moon nor midnight stars,
Nor daylight soft surprises
They will not wake to tenderest call.
Nor see atain each homo.
Where waiting hearts will throb and break
When this days tidings come
Two soldiers lying as they fell
Upon the rcddened clay.
In daytime foes, at night in peace,
Breathing their lives away
Brave hearts had stirred each manly breast
Fate only made them foes,
And lying dying side by side
softened feeling rose

To-day we've done our best:
On different sides, what matter now,
Tomorrow we're at rest.

For only my own sake,
But far away are other hearts

With hair like golden light"

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The Purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesone.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

LET US HAve PEACE.

My recollection of its origin.
General Hawley and the committee
called at General Grants headquarters,
southwest corner of Seventeenth and
Il streets, by appointment made the
day before, and were received by the
general surrounded by all his staff
then present in Washington. After
introduction of the committee to
General Grant by General Hawley, the
Inter made the announcement to Cen
eral Grant of his nomination by tho
convention for the office of president
of the United States. General Grant
in conversational tone replied ac-
cepting the nomination, and express
ing his appreciation of the honor, and
then remarked that he would COM
municate his acceptance to the com
mittee in writing. After n pleasant
half hours chat General uawley and
the committee departed. The next
morning, fearing that the committee
was being delayed, I asked the gem
eral if he had sent them the write n
communication he had promised. He
replied no, but lie would do it now.
Turning to his desk he wrote without
hesitation his letter of acceptance.
All of his staff had in the meantime
come into the room. When he had
finished he turned to me and re-
marked:
II have used word that does not
give exactly my meaning naming

gave one.
He said: "That is the word l
want marked out the word written
and substituted the suggested one,
and then read aloud to US all his let
ter. General Ruwlins took up the
letter from the desk and read it over
to himself, apparently Weighing
every sentence. Then, handing it to
General Grant he said:
Just the thing; put your name to
it, general"
General Grant immediately wrote,
'Let us have peace" and signed his
name U. S. Grant.
1t was sent at once to General Haw-
ley.

In the Fortv-Nine Mininp Camp at tn

In the Forty-Nine Mining Camp at the
Midwinter Fair in San Francisco there
are two features exhibited which it would
be well to suppress. One is the hurdy-
gurdy dance-house of the early days of
California, and the other is the gambling
feature. That the early days of California
were rude is a matter of history. Why
any one should desire to perpetuate that
rudeness, or reproduce it, is not exactly
explained. 1t cannot be defended on the
theory that it will attract self-respecting
and right-thinking people to the State.
The gambling carried on in this side
show is none the less violation OF the
law than that carried on anywhere else,
and for the good name of California it
should be suppressed. The hurdy-gurdy
dance-house, the saloon and the gambling
house were not civilizing features
in the growth of California, and
their exhibition is about as inappro
pirate as an exhibition of cannibalism
in the great international exposition in
tended to show the advancement made
by people in the arts of civilization. If
New Zealand and the Fejee Islands
undertook an exhibition of the progress
they have made from the condition
in which civilization first found them.
and for the purpose of emphasiz-
ing that progress should occasionally
kill and cook a man for the enter
tainment and instruction of the
youth of the present time, it would not be
more gross an anachronism than the
hurdy-gurdy dancers and the gambling
houses of the '49 Camp. The most pitt
full feature of this exhibition is that there
are many Californians who deem an ex-
hibition of the vices of former and rude
time smart and instructive.
