Historic Incident.
In order to prove that John Wilkes

misstatcments to DO published in il

Nonsense. A court martial sit.

partment Of the east, where were
General Dix's Offices, tried Captain
Beall. and he was hanged not in
Fort Columbu but on the southerly
edge Of Governors island on Feb
Is. 1855. It was a nasty, chilly, pen.
etrating morning. and the poor fel.
low. in shirt and trousers and slip
pers only, was compelled to stand al
least 80 minutes while a long print
ed order, written for the justifica,
tion Of the government and himself
by Major General Dix, was read tc
him. Joseph Howard. Jr., In New
York Recorder.
The usually accurate Howard's
memory Is at fault in some particu.
lars. The court martial that %
victed Beall sat at Fort Lafayette.
His chief crime was piracy on the
high seas, and the specific act was
the seizure of the steamer Philo Par
sons on one of her trips out Of De
troit bound for Sandusky. Walter
Ashley, who Is still in active bust.
ness in Detroit, was the convictine
witness. He was clerk Of the Par
son at the time of her capture by
Beall and readily identified him on
the trial
The day Of the execution was one
Of singular brightness and beauty.
and Howard was a handsome and
dashing youngster who stood near
the scaffold, notebook in hand, at
the moment when Beall went to his
ignominious death. The writer of
these lines vised the pass that ad-
mitted him to Governors island,
and the same hands with reluct-

wretch's arms and performed
other little preparatory services in

Instead Of being thinly clad, Beall
wore a complete suit of clothes, in
Guiding stout shoes, and his hands
were incased in neat fitting dogskin

Of which Mr.. Howard speaks was
the findings Of the court
martial and the executive approval
Of the sentence which Major Clar-

Rest is change, not idleness When

abouination on rollers is conducive to

Gated stomachs. The doctors. say SO,
the Delsarte teachers say SO, and the
proofs speak for themselves.
"Get ON couch and go to sleep II
YOU are tired,' Sargent, Savage and
the rest of the physical trainers say,
and when you wake up do something"
The most restful occupation, these ath-
letic physicians agree, is the one that
exercises the mind most and the body
least. Mental supremacy is all-con-
quering. That is why book-lovers,
dreamers and hobby-horse riders have
their own roads to happiness. A lover,
of reading is one degree lower than
the musicians paradise. The restful-
ness to be found in books-"the only
things that live forever'-is inexhaust-
IDLE.
The late William Walter Phelps,
speaking to some German ladies about
the various resources of his country
men, once said that the salvation OF the
men and women he knew best and adj
mired most was their fads." He then
went on to enumerate the studies his
associates had prosecuted ever since
their college days, the club schemes OF
the ladies, and the pleasure, profit and
rest he had got out Of German gram
mar and work on horticulture. In
stead of a change of physical action ne
advocated novelties for the mind.
Sit not idly resting, saith the psalm
ist. Women think they think, where
as the mind often consumes itself
brooding, grieving, fretting over petty
troubles. To this insidious habit
needlework lends it's baneful snfiu-
ence. When it is too hot to be diligent
find rest in being desultory.-N. I.

Marvellous Swiftness of tho Queer Birds
While Under Water.
The appearance of the keeper with
his pail of live gudgeon is the signal
for sudden and intense excitement in
the cages. The penguins wave their
little fippers and waldle to the door,
whence they peer eagerly down the
wooden steps leading down to the pool;,
the cormorant croaks and sways from
side to side, and the darters poise their
snaky heads and spread their bat-like
wings. At the waters edge the pen
gums do not launch themselves upon
the surface like other water fowl, but
instantly plunge beneath.
Once below water, an, astonishing
change take place. The slow, ungain-
" bird is transferred into swift and
brilliant creature, beaded with glob-
ules of quicksilver, w here the air clings
to the close feathers, and flying through

strokes of the wings are exactly SINH

feet float straight out level with the
body, unused for propulsion, or even
as rudxlers, and as little needed In its
progress as those of avid duck when
on the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes of one wing and
the cessation of movement in the other,

Z Amy attempt to remain on the sur

eonfusion-for the submarine bird can

and dropping wings back to their cage
to dry and igest.-Spectator.
