A Great Naval Duel.

Henceforwarl-to use Nelson g words
about his own most desperate acction-
"there was no maneuvering, there was
only downright fighting, and great as
was Jones unquestionable merit as a
handler of ships it was downright fight
ing endurance Of the most extreme and
individual character that won this bat
tie. When thus in contact, the superior
ity of the British eighteens over the
American twelves, though less than at
distance, was still great, but a far
heavier disparity lay in the fabrics of
the two enemies. The Richard was q
very old ship, rotten, never meant for
naval use. The Scraps was new, on
her first commission. The fight hitherto
having engaged the port guns Of the
latter, the starboard lower gunports
were still closed, and from the ships
touching could not be opened. They
were therefore blown off, and the fight
went on.
GA novelty in naval combats was
now presented to many witnesses, but
to few admirers quantity wrote Lieu
tenant Dale, who was in the midst Of
the scene below decks "The rammers
were run into the respective, ships to
enable the men to load"-that Is, the
slaves of the hammers Of one ship en-
tered the ports of the other as the guns
were being loaded. "We became so
close fore and aft, reported Pearson,
"that the muzzles of our guns touched
each others sides, "and even SO, by the
testimony of the lieutenant on the lower
gun deck of the Serapis, her guns could
not be fully run out owing to the near
ness of the vessels. Captain Mahan in

Cats of other DAYS.

The lot of the average nineteenth
century cat does not compare favorably
with that of it's ancestors. Everybody
knows that the early Egyptians held
the cat sacred, and any one injuring
sacred animal was liable to severe pun
ishment. Among the ancient laws OF
Wales was statute which prohibited
the slaughter of cat under curious
penalty. The owner of the slaughtered
animal held it by the tip of the tail,
with its nose touching the floor, and the
slayer had to give him, by way Of COM
pensation, as much wheat as would
bury the entire animal out Of sight.
The grain was supposed to represent
the amount that the owner would lose
through tho dopredations of vermin by
being deprived Of the cat.
Saxony, Switzerland and other Eu-
ropean countries also had laws enacted
for the protection Of cats, which were
regarded of economic value. Now, how
ever, pussy is simply decorative do
mestic adjunct.
