MR.. GRATEBAR TO PHILIP.
lie Reminds uiE That Things Are Not
Automatic, and Suggests How
TO Make Them Go.

Il cannot too strongly impress upon
you, Philip" said Mr.. Gratebar, accord
ing to the New York Sun. "the fact that
things in general are not automatic;
that is, they will not do themselves;
and the longer you put of the attack
upon them the harder they are to
tackle. Don't put things OFF, Philip.
To things that require deliberation you
will give sufficient thought; but, as to
the run Of things that come up, acquire
the habit of disposing of them as they
come along; you will find it a great help
in many ways. Don't cord 'em up,
Philip; the first thing you know you
will have more stacked up than you can
saw, and then, too, the pile is liable to
fall on you at any time and hurt you.
Two things TO remember, Philip:
First, things are not automatic. Sec
ond, the time to attend TO things is now.
81 may have mentioned these things
to you before, Philip, think very like
ly, in my strong desire to get you
started right in the race of life; but
youth, impressionable as it is in many
ways, seems least susceptible TO good
advice, which indeed it appears TO shed
much as a duck does water. And so
mention these things again 10 you,
Philip, with the hope thatif my previous
remarks met that fate these will find

HORSE PAINFULLY HURT.

A horse belonging to Bankson T.
Holcomb, Sr., got her foot caught in
the wire fence that surrounds the
grounds yesterday. 1t was some time
before she could be released, and when
so, it was found that her hoof was torn
badly and there was a likelihood of
her bleeding to death. After trying
various means the flow Of blood was
stopped by using a cobweb. DR.. Ewes,
Of Wilmington, was sent for. After ex-
amining the foot he said while 1t was
badly hurt, it was not serious, but ii
will be several weeks before the horse
ca be driven.

KIDDH FTRST pTRIACY-

Kidd waited a good while for the
Mnpha feet, but it did not arrive, and
then he made his first venture in ac-
tual piracy. He overhauled a Moorish
vessel commanded by an English cap
tain, and thus boldly broke the marine
laws which governed the civilized
world, and stamped himself an out
and-out pirate. After the exercise of
considerable cruelty he extorted from
his first prize small amount Of money
Although he and his men did not gain
very much booty, they had whetted
their appetites for more, and Kidd
cruised savagely over the Eastern seas
in search Of other spoils.
One Of the men, a gunner, named
William Moore. one day became inn
pertinent because Kidd did not attack
an English vessel, and he and Captain
Kidd had a violent quarrel, in the
course of which the captain picked up a
heavy iron bound bucket and struck
the dissatisfied gunner such a powerful
blow that the man died next day
Kidd now ravaged the East India
waters with great success and profit,
and at last he fell in with a very fine
ship from Armenia, called the Quedah
Merchant, commanded by an English
man. Kidd's conscience had been grow
ing harder and harder every day, and
he did not hesitate to attack any yes
sell The great merchantmen proved
be one Of the most valuable prizes ever
taken by a pirate, for Kidd's own share
Of the spoils amounted to more than
$4,000 This was such a grand haui
that Kidd lost no time in taking his
prize to some place where he might
safely dispose Of her cargo and get riC
Of her passengers. Accordingly he sail
ed for Madagascar. While he wa.
T there he fell in with the first pirati
vessel he had met since he had start
ed out to put down piracy. This wa
, ship commanded by an English pi
rate named Culliford and here woull
have been a chance for Captain Kidd D
show that, although he might trans
gress the law himself, ne would be tru
to his engagement not 70 allow othe
people to do so, but he had no idei
Of putting down piracy, and instead o
apprehending Culliford he went int
partnership with him, and the tw.
agreed to go pirating together.
This partnership, however, did no
continue long. for Captain Kidd begai
4 to believe that it was time for him L
p return to his native country and max
t report Of mis- proceedings to his EN-
! ployers. Having confined his piratica
proceedings to distant parts OF tn
= world, he hoped that he would be abb
to make Sir George Bellomont IN.
h other stockholders suppose that hi
D booty was all taken from French YES
e sells cruising in the East, and tina
when the proper division should b
P made he would be able to quietly en-
. 10y his portion OF the treasure he ha
\ gained.
a He did not go back in the Adven
ture. which was probably not larg
: enough to carry all the booty he ha
= amassed, but putting everything %
2 board his latest prize the Quedah Mer
chant, he burned this old ship and sail

cHINAMEN POOR HUSBANDS.
English Girls I'm Shanghai who Wed
MonEOlians Always Have
Cause 20 Regret It.

A Vancouver dispatch gives currency
to certain scandalous stories current
in Shanghai, by which English girls are
represented as having formed the hab-
it of marrying Chinese young men at
tached 10 the legation in that city.
There might be no great harm in the
marriage of Chinese man to a Cau-
casian woman II the Mongolian could
be educated up to the Caucasian matri-
monial standard. But the complaint
that comes from Shanghai is that the
Chinese cling with great pertinacity
to their Mongolian view of the mar
riage state. If the wife rebelled at this
view of the marriage relation the Chi
nese husband would lock her up and
when opportunity offered, sell her. An
infusion Of English blood in a matri-
monial form does not seem TO have
much influence upon the customs of
the country. The English wives, SEN
sitlve as 10 the shame Of the liYes they
were forced 10 lead, would make no
complaints to relatives in England. In
most cases the marriage had been en-
tered into in spite of the protests of
parents, a circumstance which tended
to silence complaints that would other
wise have been made. There is abun-
dant ground for the conclusion that
the average Chinese does not become
a good Christian until the third or
fourth generation.

CARE FOR THE WOUNDED.

Civilization Influenced by the princi-
pies of Christianity has done much
towards reducing the horrors of war
to a minimum. The armies in the
field are accompanied by efficient
nurses to take care of the wounded
ana mitigate the suiferings of the dy-
ing. Like angels of mercy, men and

THE CAUSE Is JUST.


There is some difference Of opinion as
to the justice of the cause OF the Cuban
insurrection. Many have been inclined
to regard the rebels as bands of
banditti not deserving the sympathy of
the civilized nations. In view of this
fact comparison between the situation
In Cuba now and that of the American
colonies when the War of Independence
was commenced is not embarrassing.
The Springfield Republican says the
Cuban population at the commence
ment of the present war was 1,6o0.0oo.
and from this small population Spain
exacted revenue of s25000,0 900 yearly
not counting the vast sums of which
Spanish officials robbed the people for
their own selfish purposes. And more
than two thirds of this sum was spent
away from the island without any
benefit whatever to the people. When
the American colonists took up arms.
the revenue derived by the British gov
eminent from this side of the Atlantic
was only s40Q, 900, while the population
was $500, 900, nearly a million more than
the Cubans.
Is 1t to be wondered at II the
patience of the islanders has been ex-
hausted and that they arc willing to
strike for independence from a govern
ment that binds on them an intolerable
burden? The cause of the Cubans Is
just Even IL we leave out of considera-
ton the atrocities that form one OF
blacklist pages in modern history, the
war which the United States Is about
to engage in will be pronounced rlghte-
Gus by impartial chroniclers of the
events of this century
