Morgan,s Famous Raid.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Today is the
35th anniversary of the Morgan raid
into Kentucky. Indiana and Ohio. which
lasted 26 days. ending July &c, 1862. This
confederate cavalry leader, under en-
couragenent given by reason of the
successful repulse OF the army of the
Potomac before Richmond, planned a
raid from his mountain camp in Ten
nessee. through Kentucky, with the
hope of crossing the Ohio river ard
striking a blow in the comparatively
unprotected territory OF Ohio and IN
diana. He issued a proclamation an
nouncinG the defeats OK the federal
troops. the northward advance of Lees
armv. and called on all TO rally TO
their countrv's call, and drive fro m
their midst the monster of oppression"
Morgan and his band captured Paris
and Cynthiana, KY, levying heavy
tribute on the inhabitants, which ex-
Dloits aroused the citizens of Coving-
ton. who met and at once determined to
drive the raiding party back into Ten
nessee- Men of all ages seized their
musketS and announced themselves
ready for battle. The only effect Of
this raid was to show the confederate
government that the people of Ken
lucky were determined 20 unite their
fortunes with the federal states, and
from this time forward the northern
army received large accessions of vol
unteers from the young men of Ken
tuck-r. Anxious TO meet and punish
the confederate raiders, on the 10Th day
of July General Smith arrived at SOM
erset, KY, in pursuit of Morgan, and
found that he had made good his es-
cape through the Cumberland gap back
into Tennessee.

THE SHIPS BELL.
It is Closely Identified With the
Whole Career of the Vessel.

Lieutenant John NJ. Ellicott. United
States navy, writes an article for June
st. Nicholas, on What is Told by the
Bell" in which he says:
Nothing in a ship becomes so closely
identified with her throughout her
whole career as the ships bell. Officers
and crew come and go; masts, decks,
engines and boilers become old and are
replaced by new ones; but from the
day that she first glides into the water
the same ships bell remains always a
part of her, marking her progress all
over the world, and finally going down
with her to<a lonely grave at the bot
tom of the sea, or surviving her as a
cherished souvenir of her existence and
achievements. On a man-of-war tine
bell is usually inscribed with her name
and the date of her launching; and as
II IS probable THAT it may some day
become memento of a glorious his
tory, the bell is often the subject of
special care in casting or. selection.
sometimes the hundreds of workmen
who have built the ship contribute each
a silver coin to be melted and nodded
into bell which shall be the token of
their love for the object of their crea-
ton and their interest in her future
career. Often the people of the citv
or state after which a man-Of-war is
named may present her a MAGNIFICENT
bell appropriately Ornamented and in
scribed with words of good will and
good wishes. Such bell is usually
presented with ceremony after the ship
goes into commission.
Ships bells in general are made of
bronze. like other bells. The addition of
silver in their composition gives them
a peculiarly clear and musical sound.
They are placed in such a position on
the upper deck that they may be heard
from one end of the ship to the ether
and are usually near the main mast at
the break of the forecastle. One peculi-
arity exists in a ships bell Which is
necessary on account of her motion at
sea. The tongue is rung so that it
can swing in only one direction. If it
were not so the bell would be continu-
ally ringing as the ship rolled and
-itched. The direction in which the
tongue can swing is another important
point. If it were athwartships the hell
would ring at every heavy roll of the
ship: and if it we're fore and aft the
bell would ring at every deep pitch; so
the direction in which the tongue can
swing is nearly halfway round be-
tween these two

Americans mad transplanted in Hawaii
the social and political customs of their
own country. Afterwards the native
Hawaiian race commenced to die out
and il was manifest that another race
was destined to rule the country. Long
ago, European statesmen foresaw the
glory of the Pacific ocean and one by
one the islands were taken possession
of by the European powers, and Hawaii
alone remained an independent govern
ment The reason of this was the pre-
dominance OF American influence and
interests in those islands. The official
classes in Hawaii, connected with the
British and other European powers,
had tried for years to break down
the American dominance there, and
had made several attempts to seize the
islands. but the United States govern
uent always came TO the front and
said 'hands off" and 1T had stood by
this policy for years. Some years ago.

with the loss of trade due 10 the decline
of the whaling industry. Hawaii found
herself on the verge OF national col
LAPSE and il was only natural that she
should turn TO the United States and
the result was the adoption of the
reciprocity treaty which has been in
force ever since.
The speaker then quoted from num-
Der of reports showing that the imports
to Hawaii from San Francisco were
greater than those to China, japan.
Central America or Mexico. He also
showed that the fleet of ships which
had disappeared with the decline of the
whaling industry, had come back to
Honolulu again, carrying great quanti-
ties of merchandise from this country.
He next spoke on the subject of Ash
attic immigration to Hawaii and
said that when this first COM

address by extending the greetings of
President Dole and the Hawaiian gov
eminent to the congress. He went into
an exhaustive history of the trade rela-
tions between the United States and
Hawaii and said for 20 years the trade
of the islands had been dominated by
America. He spoke of the New Bed

The body of Mrs. Mary Ferry was

The workmen were working all day
in the ruins. Mrs. Conroy, one OF the
lost. before her marriage, lived at
Johnstown, Pa, where the great flood
occurred several years ago. She was
rescued there by John COnroy. who
afterwards married her.
Most of the ruins have been search

have been swept into the river.

Engineer John Conroy, who lost his
