DARING ADMIRAL WORDEN.
HI Rash Exposure of Himself In the
Monitor-Merrimac Fight.

"The important part which opportu-
nifty plays in the lives of men is well
illustrated by the career of the late Adj
miral Worden, remarked Captain
Louis N. Stodder of the United States
revenue cutter service few days ago.
1T was Worden's good luck that he
was assigned to the Monitor, for the re-
suit of the fight made the vessel and all
on board famous.
The brave part he played in the
fight was recognized by congress, and
he was rapidly promoted to high rank
which other officers obtained only after
20 years of service.
Il remember him well when he first
came on board the Monitor about a
month before the fight He had just
been released from prison and looked
thin and sallow. He had the appearance
OF one dying from fever complaint. |
never thought it possible for him to live
long
During the fight he was cool and
collected. recall an incident which
do not remember ever seeing published.
The pilot house was situated in the bow
OF the Monitor, quite away from the
turret. During the fight / was in the
turret with other officers, when sudden
ly we saw Lieutenant Worden climbing
up where we were Without saying
anything, he opened one of the turret
doors and stepped out on the deck in
full view of the enemy
Why, captain, what's the trouble?'
exclaimed several of the officers in as
tonishment at his fearless act.
" can't see well enough from the
pilot house, came the quiet reply. i
wanted to get out here for moment to
take i'll the whole situation. Then,
looking around for few moments, he
came inside.
Lieutenant Worden was very popu-
lar with officers and men alike. They
all worshiped him. Although only 40
years old at the time of the Monitor
Merrimac fight, he looked almost 60.
He wore long beard at the time -

The French government, finding itself
unable to increase the taxation, which
is heavier per capita in France than in
any other country of the world, has de-
cided to resort to the conversion of its
treasury bonds or rentes from per cent
to 2 . as the easiest, and indeed the
only available, means of increasing the
revenues of the state. The ground is
taken that as the national credit is such
that the government has recently been
able to secure temporary loans at "a
per cent the interest charge on treasury
bonds is far too high and that CONVEX
sion scheme would respond to the present
state of Frances national credit. That
the latter should stand SO high is sur
prising, when it is remembered that, al
though in the last 30 years frances
population has only increased by $685.

A war has broken out at Paris be-
tween the restaurant keepers and the
newsdealers occupying the kiosks that
border the roadway of the boulevards.
Hitherto the faces of these kiosks have
been turned toward the pavement. and
the occupants have been permitted to
display their wares by means of boards
and tables, which, of course, encroach-
ed ON the footpath. Traffic was still
further impeded by the action of the
restaurant keepers and cafe proprietors,
who persist in lining the front of their
establishments with small tables and
chairs for the accommodation Of those
of their customers who prefer to sip
their drinks in the open air. The boni-
faces, finding that the police were about
to interfere. lodged o complaint against
the newsdealers mainly with the OBJ
ject of saving themselves This has led
to the issue of an order whereby the
kiosks are twisted half round. so that

instead Of facing the footpath, now run
