turns them completely under, at the same time
blowing the land fourteen inches deep.
feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
to 8. That is, with the old ploW. to do the same
work, it takes good mules; with your plow it

Protected by Chains.

Editor of The Times:
Sir:-About twelve years ago I read
Service Afoat by Admiral Semmes. In
which he gives a very full and graphic
account Of the fight between the Alabama
and the Kearsarge. My recollection is
that the fight was the result Of the ac-
ceptance by Admiral Semmes OF a chal-
lenge from Captain Winslow. According
TO the account given by the author Of
Service AfIoat. the Alabama was a lighter
vessel than the Kearsarge and not so
well armed. The challenge was neverthe-
less accepted. Admiral Semmes states
distinctly that the first shot from the
Alabama would have sunk the Kearsarge
had not the latter been protected by
chains swung along her sides prepare
tory for the fight. In clear violation Of
an implied agreement II not positive

CRANKS AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
Detectives Kept Busy Disposing Of &c
centric Visitors.

Although the reception 10 the public al
the White House was abandoned yester-
dav. SAYS the Washington Post, Detectives
Weldon and McNamee remained on duty
there throughout the day. They found X
necessary TO intercept some Of the would
be visitors. as their appearance indicated
disordered mental condition, which their
conversation and conduct afterwards con-
drmed. The first eccentric was an old
lady dressed in outandsh costume ana
carving a peculiar looking box I'm addi-
ton to a valise. Detective Weldon asked
her what she wanted, and was told thdt
she had been robbed OF 1900
Here is a picture of the house | was
robbed In. II you don't believe It," said
the seeker after Executive assistance. as
she opened her mysterious looking box
and produced a photograph Of a three
story dwelling. She was assured that
Sanitary officer Frank. whose address
was given her. had the exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the return Of large sums lost
in three-story houses, and reluctantly she
took her way in the direction OF the Dis
trict Building.
The next candidate was very tan Ger
man, who was remarkable for the size
and appearance OF his shoes. They were
covered with patches, one over another.
until the toes OF his boots seemed made
of the skin and scales of an unknown
variety OF fish. This man desired to re-
lieve the President and the authorities OF
the Navy Department of the labor of ex-
aiming candidates for enlistment. He
started to explain his peculiar system of
physical examination 10 the detectives.
but was told that Mr.. Frank had a large
crowd Of candidates for examination, who
were simply heartbroken at the delay in
reaching them. and he, too, hurried off in
search OF the Sanitary officer.
The star performer OF the Cay arrived In
the person OF a rusty looking party with
flowing straw-colored whiskers and a very
determined expression. Weldon stopped
him and asked his business.
II must see the President at once on a
matter OF importance" said the stranger
trying 10 pass in; Il fought with Uncle
Billy in his own regiment In the war and
7 made him President. I spent 5000 10

II have come all the way from the z lst-
ern Shore to see him." said the farmer
cycling the detective suspiciously 'and
I don't propose 10 be stopped by no smart
Alec civil service ofiice-holder."
The visitor tried to pass In. but was
quickly convinced that he had no chance
to see the President at that time. Shak-
Ing with Indignation he stepped close to
the detective and shook his long finger
under the officers nose.
