PHILIPPINE TALK.
Dewey,s Place Among Naval Heroes

Philip Howard Colomb, retired, the in
ventor of improved systems for signaling.
at sea and the author of number of
naval works, in an interview on the sub
ject of the splendid victory of the United
States fleet at Manila, is quoted as say
ing
II doubt if there ever was such an ex-
traordinary illustration of the influence of
sea power. A superior fleet has attacked
and beaten Spanish fleet supported by
batteries, and it now appears it passed
those batteries and has taken up an un-
assailable position off Manila. The bold
ness of the American Commander is be-
yond question. Henceforth he must be
placed in the Valhalla of great naval
commanders. Nothing can detract from
the dash and vgor of the American ex-
plot, or dim the glory which Dewey has
shed upon the American Navy. It may
be bad for the world, for assuredly the
American Navy will never accept a sub
( tordinate place after this exhibition of
what it can do
The Westminster Gazette this after
noon, discussing the Philippine question,
quotes the assumption Of American news

right to dispose of her lawful prize as
she chooses.
Continuing, the "Westminster Gazette

entail disagreeable SURPRISES adding

ed States will probably discover that these
simple ideas of doing what you will with

would speedily lead to Intervention in be-

Dickens and His Cnt.

Charles Dickens was a lover of cats.
He owned a large white one named
Williamina, who selected a corner of
his study for her kittens and brought
them in from the kitchen one by one.
Dickens had them taken away again,
but Williamina persisted in bringing
them back. The third time of their re-
moval she did not leave them in the
corner, but instead placed them at her
masters feet and, taking her stand be-
side them, looked imploringly up at
him. Most of the family were finally
given away. Only one remained. The
little creature followed Dickens about
like a dog and sat beside him while he
wrote.
One evening the author was reading
at a small table upon which was a
lighted candle. As usual the cat was at
his elbow. Suddenly the light went
out. Dickens was much interested IL
his book and relighted the candle. 1t
was only when the light became dim
again that he turned suddenly and found
the kitten deliberately putting the light
out with her paw. She was lonely, she
wanted to be petted, and this was her
device for bringing 1t about.

So they went up little way and sat
down.
"Wh-why, what's the matter, Mr.
Stackpole?'' cried the fair young girl,
for the young man had hastily risen
and was gasping for breath. He could
not reply. His face was lived. His eyes
were rolled up, and with one shaking
hand he clawed feebly at the skirts of
his Tuxedo.
What kind Of an attack is it?'' she
gasped.
At this question his voice came back
to him.
What difference does that maker
he harshly growled. Then, without a
word of apology, he dashed up the
stairs and flung himself into the men,

And how was she to know that it was

who oanvased the stairs had carelessly
left standing on its head?-Cleveland

The English Postoface In 1877.

The postmasters were free from all
public offices, from liability to quarter
soldiers, and they received gazettes free
of postage. "wherewith they advantage
themselves in their common trade of
selling drink, and they have their sin
gle letters free to London"
The rates of postage in 1877 were
comparatively low. \ single letter i.
e., letter consisting of one sheet Of
paper only-could be sent for any dis
lance up TO so miles for twopence, and
and beyond so miles for threepence. A
letter weighing an ounce cost eightpence
for 80 miles and shilling beyond.
The mails We're dispatched from Lon
don about midnight ON Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays and were due
to arrive in London early on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday mornings. They
were carried on horseback at the rate of
five miles an hour, and they were liable
to a detention of not more than half an
hour at each postofice (stage) on the
road. England was divided into six
trimmings, or roads-viz, west, Bristol,
Chester; north, Yarmouth and Kent,
starting from Plymouth, Bristol, Ches-
ter, Edinburgh, Yarmouth and Dover
