spasms with this piece Of bad English:
Being an inexperienced filibuster, the
writer had undergone considerable

been to sleep, and so went to the first

the physical delights of holding one
self in bed"

The government has to pay a large
sum of money for single discharge
of one of the immense guns now be-
ing placed in coast defences. There
might be a contingency when It would
be far more expensive not to fine the
gun; while no one could well estimate
the possible cost of having no guns to
fire. A coast thoroughly protected
means also an interior we'll guarded.

A noted newspaper man who died

A noted newspaper man who died
in st. Louis a few weeks ago, in the
prime of life, was sometimes called the
inventor of the newspaper interview.
Certainly he was the first to make a
feature of that form of news. Rightly
used, the interview is an effective way
of getting, and an interesting way of
presenting, facts and opinions; but no
other device of Journalism has been
more abused.

All Sin was his name,
And I shall not deny
In regard to the same,
What that name might imply;
But his smile it was pensive and child
like,
AS l frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
1t was August the third;
And quite soft was the skies;
Which it might be inferred
That All Sin was likewise;
Yet he played it that day upon Will
liam
And me in way despise..
Which we had a small game,
And All Sin took hand:
| 1t was euchre. The same
He did not understand; D..
But he smiled as he sat by the table,
With the smile that was childlike
and bland.
Yet the cards they were stocked
III way lhdI 6iiCNC,
And my feelings were shocked
At the state of Nye's sleeve;
Which was stuffed full of aces and
bowers,
And the same with intent to de-
ceive.
But the hands that were played
By that heather Chinee,
And the points that he made,
| Were quite frightful to see
Till at last he put down right bow
er,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto
me.
Then l looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with a sigh,
| And said, "Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap la
bor,"
And he went for that heather Chi
nee.
In the scene that ensued
l did not take hand;
But the floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand,
| With the cards that All Sin had been
hiding,
In the game "he did not under
stand"
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs
Which was coming 1t strong, -.
Yet l state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
What is frequent in tapers,-th
| wax.
Which is why l remark
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is PECULIAR
Which the same l am free to main
tain.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov 29.-The cut
ter Bear did not get away from Port
Townsend until shortly after noon to-day
on her mission OF mercy TO the north, the
delay being caused by the attempt of four
or five of the crew, including two firemen,
to desert al this port. BY noon, however,
Captain Tuttle had full COMPLEMENT of
men, and he lost no time in moving out of
the harbor and heading norLhward.
TIE work OF THE CALL in behalf OF Gov
ernment relief tor the i'm prisoned whalers
has aroused so much interest here that
large crowds have gathered at the wharf
since the arrival of the Bear to see he
vessel and her cargo and talk with her
officers about the proposed voyage. Scores
of people were inv ted on board by Cap
tain Tuttle, who took the trouble to show
them over the ship and explain something
bout the probable course of the cutter,
and OF The overland expedition as well.
The officers and crew never lost an oppor-
tunity 10 pra The CALL for lis generous
conation of proper ,lothing for the north
elm climate, without which the trip would,
indeed, be perilous one,
All on board are now not only perfectly
resigned to the work that is before them,
but they are enthusiastic over the oppor-
tunity to do something heroic in the in
terest OF humanity, and the nation may
rest assured that if the imprisoned whal-
ers can be rescued st all they will be
released by this expedition.
That the officers of the Bear fully realize
the dangerous undertaking on which they
have embarked was shown to-day. when
those who had not previously done so
signed their wills The parting with rela-
tives and friends here was sad one, but
when at last the cutter moved out into the
bay she was given cheer and god

Government will take a very firm stand
should Germany make any movement in

Haytian territory.
For the purpose of giving ad 'quate p TO

Germany that this Government is alert 10

consultation with the President, ha, di-
rected the cruiser Marblehead to make a

will act, but there is reason to believe that
they will direct him to anchor in the har-
Dor Of Port An Prince and see that Ger
many takes no action in contravention OF
the well-known principles of international
law.
Orders which have been issued to the
Marblehead especially direct her to avoid
Cuba, so as not to give any offense to
Spain. She will not start for Hayti until
the latter part of this week. She is now at
ANNAPOLIS, Md, where she will remain
untir after the trial of the torpedo boa t
Winslow, and will then proceed to Nor
folk, where she will take on board a sup
ply of coal. Her orders then require her
to proceed at once to Hayti.
