As to the Du POnt.

Now as to Du Pont. This torpedo
boat bears the name Of Samuel Francis
Du POnt, a New Jersey man by birth,
but who closed his eyes on mortal
scenes in this city in June, 1865. Dur
ing a series Of more than twenty-five
years at sea he was almost constantly
employed on duties Of Importance. Dur
ing the Mexican war, while i'm command
of the Cyane, he captured San Diego,
took possession Of La Pas. capital of
Lower California: spiked the guns of
San Bias, and entered the harbor of
Guaymas, burning two gunboats and
cutting out Mexican brig under A
heavy fire. These operations cleared
the Gulf Of California of hostile ships.
thirty Of which were taken ordestroyed.
To tell his deeds during the civil war
would be To recount much of the naval
history of that unfortunate episode IN
our country's career.
Toward the close of 1862 several ar
mored vessels were added TO his COM
mand, mostly Of the monitor type. one
of which destroyed the Confederate
steamer Nashville under the guns OF
Fort McAlister. Being the first officer
to whom the monitors had been as
signed, he carefully tested their Of
fensive powers by several attacks upon
this work, on which they were unable
to make any impression on account Of
the small number Of their guns and the
slowness of their fire. Assuming i'm
mediate command of his nine armored
vessels, mounting thirtytwo guns, Du
Pont, then a rear admiral, made res
olute attempt on April Z, 1863. to take
Charleston. Unable to maneuver in
the tortuous channels filed with OBJ
structions that led to the harbor, the
iron clads were exposed to a terrible
cross-fire from a hundred guns of the
heaviest calibers, and darkness ap-
preaching, the ships were wisely with
drawn. one sinking soon afterward and
FIVE others being disabled.
Pursuant to Instructions.
This action was fought pursuant to
express instructions from the navy de-
partment. it's probable result having
been foreseen by the admiral, who had
given ii as his opinion that the coop
GRAFTON of troops was necessary to Sc
cure success. Time has fully confirmed
the entire correctness of Du Points
Judgment His able successor, with
large force Of armored ships, was no
on the approach of Sherman's army.
The Rodgers is named after Lieuten-
ant John Rodgers who fired the first
gun in the last war with Great Britain.
During that war he captured twenty
three British vessels; twelve Of them
having been captured in the Irish
channel. After the war he declined the
position of secretary Of the navy. His
son John was also a naval hero. and
became a rear admiral. He had an
other son, George, who was killed while
chief of staff TO Admiral Dahlgren at
Fort Wagner, in 1863. OF him Miles
O'Reilly wrote:
"Ah mel George Rodgers lies
With dim and dreamless eyes;
He has fairly won the prize
OF the striped and starry shroud."
The Ericsson is named after the
Swede engineer, who built the first
monitor I'm time TO have her meet and
defeat the Merrimac. That naval bat
tie revolutionized the building OF war
ships, and IL also prevented European
interference with our affairs.

Patents Not Worth Much.

MIR. Thomas A. Edison was quoted
some years ago as saying that it did
not pay to take out u patent on any in
vention, however valuable. His way is
to keep his methods and processes Sc
cret and do his own manufacturing.
This was the conclusion at which he
arrived after long experience Of patent
offices and patent litigation. In like
manncr Mr.. HARDWOOD Huntington re-
plies to his OWL question in The Forum,
sis it worth while to take out a pat
ent?" thus: "No, if you can possibly
avoid it."
MIR. Huntington recommends the in
ventor to keep his device or process to
himself if he possibly cam. Hementions
several historic patent lawsuits and the
tortuous windings through which they
passed i'll support of his opinion. In
truth, the way patent office laws and
lawsuits now stand, it seems enough to
break arman up to find out even a val
liable secret of invention or discovery.
The drawings, the patent Office solicit
ors, the examinations and expert opin-
ions are luxuries of the costliest sort,
yet they must be had. Then if the in
vention is really worth anything the
chances are as / to 1000 that somebody
else will claim it and n ruinous lawsuit
will be begun. This experience was
what made Edison turn his back on the
world, so to speak, after q few years of
litigation and retire to the wilds of
Menlo and set up his own laboratory
and workshops. manufacturing his OWL
inventions.
One is led to conclude from Mr..
Huntington's paper that where patents
are necessary they are only necessary
evils at best.

It is a pity that good men are not al
ways good looking and fascinating in
their manners; otherwise the matinee
girl would make heroes of them instead
OF such scamps and bigamists as Rat
clife, the actor. From one side of this
continent to the other Radcliffe was
adored by the matinee girl. When the
n who at length ran away with him
and married him in spite of the opposi-
tion Of her wise and rich father had
him arrested for beating, kicking and
stamping upon her, it t%ranspired that
he had already another wife in England
and that she, too, had been forced to
leave him because Of bad treatment.
The moral to the story. if there is any,
is that good men should improve their
manners and appearance SO much that
the girls will fall in love with them in.

bound to fall in love with fascinating

Awfully small business that was
which it is said some postmasters have
been engaged in. The size of a post
masters salary depends partly on the
number Of letters that pass through his
office, and this is judged by the number
Of postage stamps he sells and cancels.
The charge is that some postmasters
padded out the lists both of sales and
cancellations by adding q number of
figures to them.

A Man and a Farm.

We notice in Tho National Stockman
and Farmer an answer to the question
whether i'll these times q man can make
a living on the farm. a correspondent
of The Stockman visited the home of all
Ohio man living eight and one-half
miles from Newark. This town was his
market, where he sold his products.
His farm was only q patch of ground,
seven and one-half acres all told, most
ly rough hillside land at that, yet from
it the farmer made All excellent living
for himself, his wife and two children.
He studied the lay of his land and de-
cided from the general easterly and
northeasterly slope of it that it was
we'll adapted to fruit culture. Into this
he accordingly went shrewdly and care
fully. Grapes, Strawberries, raspberries
and g%ooseberries are his main money
crops, with peaches and other fruits
coming On. He built in the intervals of
work q neat cottage. When the corre-
spondent saw it, the flower season was
on, and the small house was set in a
bower of beauty, with rich purple clus-
tiers of wistaria trailing from o vino
over the porch.
Apart from the Improvements this
thrifty and industrious man has put
upon his rough little place it would not
be worth $40 an acre, we are told, yet
from it u whole family live, aud live
we'll. The secret of it all is to be found
in the character of the man himself.

RETURN of THE SENATOR'S.
All the Boys in Good Condition bu,
Farrell.

The Washington club left ST. Louis at an
early hour Sunday morning, and arrived in
this city at s o'clock this morning. With
the exception Of Charley Farrell, all are
in first-class shape and well pleased with
themselves over their record of breaking
even on their western trip.
Bad luck cropped out during the trip
bene. As the train was rounding a curve
Charley Farrell was thrown against the
door of a car, and as he put out his right
hand to protect himself from collision, this
useful member was caught between the
door and the jam, smashing the second
finger 50 badly that there Is hardly a pos
sibility that the heavy hitting catcher will
be in the game again before a week has
passed away. Farrell was considerably
cast down over the accident, as he has been
hitting wonderfully hard and timely of late
and his presence on the team this morning
W ould no doubt have done much toward
landing a victory.
While eiated over the success OF the CLUB
on the western trip, Mr.. Wagner said this
morning to Star reporter that the Sena-
tors would have done even better with a
little luck coming their way. Another game
should have been won in Cincinnati and
two more in Louisville, but the luck was
on the other side, and, of course defeats
instead of victories fell to the Washington
boys lot.

THE MOVEMENT OF TROOPS
Great Secrecy is Maintained by the Officials
at Ohickamauga.
1t is Believed That the Start Will Be
Made Tomorrow Prepnra-
lions Are Rushed

CHICKAMAUGA, CHATTANOOGA Ma
Although the officials at headquarters
continue to maintain great secrecy in re-
gard to the movement of troops from here
to Cuba. it is generally believed that the
movement will begin tomorrow. Fifteen
regiments are under emergency orders. and
the indications are that ths start will be
made at once
Preparations are being rushed today, and
q rare scene of activity is Witnessed The
regiments which go out first are as follows:
First Kentucky, Sd Wisconsin, 9Th Illinois,
ith Ohio. Sd Illinois. 18th Pennsylvania, 10th
Pennsylvania, I'd Wisconsin, Sd kentucky,
31st Michigan. 160th Indiana, LIST Georgia,
9th ONO, 15Sth Indiana, LIST West Virginia.
Closely following these, it is believed, will
be the other regiments of the LIST Corps.
The destination of the troops is not known.
1t is currently reported that plans have
been changed. and that Santiago instead of
Porto Rico viii be the objective point. The
railroads are ready for the emergency.
The Western and Atlantic has I'D cars
arranged in trains of twelve cars each and
provided with water barrels standing in
their yards, while the Southern has about
300 cars similarly arranged and equipped
in its yards These trains can leave for the
park in short order. a number of engines
sufficient TO pull each and every train, are
being held in reserve in the round houses
of these two reads. The work of paying
the men is now being rushed. Every effort
is being made TO dispose of the regiments
Of the LIST Corps before they are moved
away. The payments progressing at
the rate of half-dozen regiments Il day.
The entira work will likely be finished this
week
