The Tribune continues its exhibition of
contemplate spite against Acting Gov
ernor Richards. Yesterday it slurringIy
referred to Richards pardon MILL" citing
the pardons issued by the acting COVER

West. One of these cases was that of
w. B. Lowery, a Carterlte who was
convicted of riot and in May last SEN

Charles Arnup, the lad convicted of
manslaughter, was tried before Judge
Zane, upon whose petition with the re-
quest of several other officials and citi-

The pardon of Jake Wicketts, the In

was recommended by Judge Bartch.
The pardon of Mallerup and Anderson,
the boys convicted of burglary, was
granted upon recommendation of another

1t does not appear that any strenuous
effort at ''concealment" was made by
the acting governor, although it is hardly
to be expected in view of the yenomous
attacks constantly being made upon him
by the Tribune, that Mr.. Richards should
exert himself to furnish that sheet with

LAUNCHING A BATTLE SHIP.
From The Century.l

FROM Inc CenIury.l
A launch in these days is so smooth
and so soon ended, rarely occupying
more than twelve seconds from the
start to finish, that one scarcely realizes
it's difficulties. Three things are abso-
lutely necessary: It must be on time,
when the tidal water is highest; it
must be of smart speed, so as not to
stick on its downward journey to the
water, and it must be accomplished
without straining. So complex a, thing
is a launch that the careful engineer
in charge is able to estimate the strain
on every part of the vessel for every
position 1t occupies, at intervals Of one
foot, on its way down the incline.
There is one supreme moment. 1t is
when the vessel is nearly tWo-thirds in
the water. The buoyancy Of the water
raises the vessel and throws its weight
on it's shoulders. Here is where the
greatest danger of straining comes, and
should the ways break down, the vessel
would be ruined, matter of nearly ST.,
000,O 900 in ship like the Indiana, when
it was launched.
The launch over, the machinery is
lifted in and fitted, and then comes the
board OF government experts, who look
the vessel over inch by inch, the fires
are started, and the trial trip follows
For four hours, amid suppressed ex-
cltement, that answers nervously to ev-
cry qulver of the vessel, the engines are
run at full speed. A premium or a pen
atty is at stake now. The breakage of
bolt or the disarrangement of a valve

No man ever went into battle but what

LEO XIII. In sT. PETERS.
From the Fortnightly review


The scenes that have lately been wit

what may be called an extraordinary
recrudescence of papal popularity.

from early morning till 6 o'clock in the
vast area beneath Michael Angeles

space in front, (once the race course of
Nero, where hundreds of Christians
were burned like torches in tubs of

The church grew dark-only in the
far distance thousands Of wax candles
and swinging chandeliers shone out
over the high altar and family illu-

1t was known that the pope had left

cry of enthusiasm arose within at the

From the moment Leo XIII entered

the roar of enthusiasm never ceased

REcovERY OF RINGS.
[From the Saturday Review.l

From the Saturday ReVieW.J
A Mr. Van Notten lost a ring in a
lake and recovered it when the lake
was drained. Moore tells how Byron's
mothers wedding ring was found in
the soil by the gardener on the day
when Miss Millbanke's acceptance of
the poets proposal arrived. If this was
good luck the jealousy of the gods
soon avenged it. Brand, in his history
of Newcastle mentions that gentle
man dropped his ring into the Tyne,
and that his wife afterward bought a
fish which had swallowed the jewel.
This was 'in the seventeenth century,"
and can hardly be called "evidential'
AT Iverness a jewelers. boy was car
rying costly ring to a customer. He
took it out to look at it on the bridge
and dropped it into the water. Not
expecting his tale to be credited, he
fed the country, went to Australia,
and made a fortune. After his return
he was telling his story to a friend.
1T was on this very spot" he said,
thrusting his stick into the gravel; and
there was the ring around the end of
his stick! For this anecdote it would
have been well to have signed evil
dence. Some years ago man made
design for his own scala sprig of
uedIHSI- Will the InOllO, t1edIHeT,
engraved. He went to battle on lone
ly beach and laid mis- ring down on
fiat stone beside his clothes. After
dressing he missed the ring, nor could
he find it anywhere. After a few years
he received a letter from a friend in
Australia. sealed with the heather
seal. He wrote, asking where his
friend got the ring, who replied that
it had been lent to him by stranger
in the postoffice whence he had sent
the letter. In this case the ring was
not recovered by the owner, as the
stranger could not be traced; but the
coincidence was curious enough
A sportsman lost a ring when shoot
ing. Next year, in breaking piece of
peat in a farm house, he found his
ring in the peat. An old gentleman,
sleeping at the country house of a
friend. lost valuable sapphire ring.
Long afterward it was found in the
f1uted pillar of the bed; perhaps the
owner had deposited it there in a mo-
ment of somnambulism. A lost ring
has been discovered by its owner in
side q potato which she was peeling.
