An INSTANCE In whieh rorsstfuiness Gave
. Man Promotion.
One of the most distinguished nayiea-
tors IN the United States navy was en-
gagged some years ago as navigator on
one Of the old fashioned sailing ships of
tho navy, and as 1t was his first billet he
was very DESTROYS Of making good i'm
preston. For the 1rst few days he took
his reokonings with the greatest caro-, but
when the ship had been out several days
he forgot to wind his thermometer, which
kept Washington time. II was impossible
to make any calculations on the slips DO
sition. He did not dare tell the command
or Of his mishap, and 10 he continued TO
take the latitude OF the sun every day In
the most serious manner and reported the
ships position by dead reckoning, very
uncertain operation.
EARLY one morning, when he thought
they must DO near Barbados, their first
destination, he called q young sailor to
him and said; MY man, want you to 20
to the masthead and look out for land, and
when you sight 1t do not call out Land, hol'
In the usual manner, but come down
quietly and tell me about it" The sailor
ran aloft, and when at about seven bells,
or half past II o'clock, he saw thin blue
streak to the south'ar he ran down from
aioft and reported 1t to the navigator.
go aloft and report land in the usual
manner ut eight bells" said the naviga-
tor. Hardly had the sailor reached his
perch when the captain came on deck, and
walking to the navigator said:
about what time shall we sight Bar
bados, STRIP
AT precisely eight bells, SIR" was the
answer.
what, cried the captain, do you pre-
tend to be able to figure to the minute the
time VIC will sight landi Why, never
saw q navigator whocould figure within
two hours, and / have seen some good
ones"
At that moment the bell struck eight
times, and the cry of Land, hoi" rang
out from the masthead. Tho captain took
tho navigator's hand and said, "You, sir,
are tho finest navigator afioat, and shall
report your splendid work to the depart
ment." The captain kept his word. He
wrote to the navy department abont tho
excellent work of his navigator, which was
the direct cause of his rapid promotion

The trusted book keeper. Samuel Q.
seely. and depostor named Frederick
Baker, have stolen 1854. 600 from the MI :.
tuai Shoe and Leather Bank Of New
York City. The former fed to Europe
and the latter drowned himself. They
we're both men OF good standing, and the
big steal was great surprise. Trusted
men are the ones who steal. Bank direc-
tore should direct. 1t is singular that
the bank accounts should be tempered

BFFoEG AZ audience of over twenty-five
thousand persons on Saturday afternoon
the Yale College team won a har,l.fought
battle OF foot ball from tho Harvard team
bya scors OF II to 4, The Gama was noted
for its brutality. six players being injure...,
three OF whom haG to be carried from the
neld. Such brutality, II witnessed in a
prize fight, would hava sent up a shout
Of condemnation from tho press all over
the country. Here's one of the songs
sung by the happy Yale men after the
victory on Saturday evening:
Tune-''Colne. Change the Drlnks With
Me-"
1hongh Harvard has Blue Stocking girls,
Yale has blue stocking men.
We've done fair Harvard up before,
Well do her up again.
And though tho Harvard foot ball team
May try what they can do,
They can never on their tintypes
Beat the grand old blue.

The two prominent candidates for cleo.
tion to the United States Senate are sat-
isiled with the outlook. The friends OF
Senator Higgins contend that hs will be
nominated in caucus and reelected on
the hrst ballot when the joint session 10
held. On the other hand Mr.. Addicks
claims that he will be elected, there being
no chance about It, bis election being a
certainty. As they are both SO greatly
pleased with their prospects we do not
see the propriety OF the supportsrs OF
either indulging In so many abusive cpl
thets and singing so much mud about
them. Abuse hurts the abuser worse
than 1t hurts the abused. This has been
the case from the beginning Of our his.
tory and IL will lie so to the end. Cain
through jealousy slew Abel. but he was
punished by having q mark put upon him
and being made wanderer on the face of
the earth.
He had much better smothered his al.
ger and allowed his brother to have lived
The world should have been wide enough
Tor both Of them, even II they had occa.
sionally jostled each other liz their strug.
gle for divine favor. They should have
followed the course OF Abram and Lot
Whom they found that they could not
dwell in peace together. they divided their
herds, one stopping In the land OF Ca.
naan. while the other went In the direc-
ton OF the river Jordan. This was a
much wiser course than to engage In a
bitter feud. and embroll their friends and
FQtRinaFa i'm OF fria da Of tha
present day should counsel peace. and
not open warfare. II Senator Higgins
should be elected we can sny amen, and If
Mr.. Ad1ioks should happen to be chosen
we shall submit. holding that whatever
tnkes place was foreordained, and 1t is
worse than folly to initiate the Chinese
who commit harikari when occurrences
are not in accordance with their desires
or the desires OF their rulers.
Men who have stood to their guns
through thirty years of defeat will not
desert their post in consequence OF an
other reverse or traltorous action on the
part OF any one but will pick their ilints
ami try 1t again. The interests of the
country rise above those of any man or
set OF men, and all should staud solid for
the Republican party just as the men OF
the Revolution stood solid when the
treachery OF Arnold came so near to
blightlng their hopes and destroying
every prospect of their final triumph.
Armies may become dsmoralized. but 1t is
sheer cowardice to ground arms and as.
sist opponents to occupy places of honor
and profit. The true general, in case of
disaster. will reform his forces and en-
deavor to achieve success by we'll directed
efforts. The race Is not always to the
swlft nor the battle to the strong"

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 90. = Michael
Shuman, a well known mining man, has
Just returned from his minds in the Ok
nagon district, He reports the find OF a
vertible bonanza gold mine at the very
summit of the Cascade range of noun
tains. Two young men from Anacortez,
named Baroj and Gerrish, are the lucky
finders. Shuman says that the boys, after
weeks work with the crudcst nipple
ments, have cleaned up $4,000, with
plenty of the same rich dirt in sight.
Nearly all the miners in this section of the
country have flocked to the new Eldorado
and staked out claims.
