finding some other means Of reward
ing our naval heroes, which, while
thoroughly satisfactory to them and
their friends, will work no injustice
to others. AS an instance OF how the
present practice works, the officers
point to the fact that for his splendid
achievement at Manila, Dewey gained
only ten numbers, while astounding
as 1t may seem, instead OF a reward
for his excellent management and sea
manshlp in bringing the great battle
ship Oregon successfully through one
OF the most remarkable cruises on rec
ord, Captain Clark actually lost three
numbers, through the promotion over
his head Of officers engaged in the bat
tie OF Manila bay. Captain Sigsbee Is
cited also as a case in point, having
suffered the loss OF several numbers,
representing a year or two OF naval ser
vice, through the Manila rewards.
A naval officers first ambition is
distinction for bravery, and his second
is promotion. Many officers who are
brave are not afforded opportunity TO
particularly distinguish themselves, ali
though properly discharging the duties
to which they are assigned. There
must be some equity In the service
which will guard such men, and that
is what the Navy Department is seek

LAWS OF ABYssuNA.

The laws OF AIbyssinia are primitive,
and based on those Of the gsraelites,
''An eye for an eye" There are neither
law courts nor lawyers; both plaintiff
and defendant plead their own cause
Formerly, prior to the appointment by
King Theodore OF executioners, the
guilty person, in case Of murder, was
slain in exactly the same manner in
which he had taken the life Of his vic
tim. For instance, If a man killed an
other with sword, the avenger OF
blood had to use similar weapon. II
death had been caused by blows from
a club a club was used to take the
life Of the murderer. This law most
unjustly operated even in cases of
manslaughter, and the life of a man
who unwitting.y and unintentionally
had caused the Death OF another could
be demanded by the relatives OF the
deceased. Among many others, an in
stance Of this kind was once related 20
me. Two men were cutting grass on
the side of a precipice, and when they
were about to descend one Of them fas-
tened the end of a rope round his COM
panion's body to lower him down the
cliff, and attached the other end to the
trunk OF tree. Accidentally the man
to be lowered Slipped before all was
ready, and coil OF the rope becoming
entangied round his neck he was
strangled. His comrade, on subse-
quently descending by slipping down
the rope was mortified to find him
dead at the bottom, and hastened TO
the village to report the circumstance.
The judge passed a sentence OF man
slaughter and ordered a fine Of $3.50 to
be paid to the widow. The widow
however, refused the compensation and
demanded the literal carrying cut OF
the law. After some deliberation it
was agreed that she should carry her
point, and the unfortunate and perfect
| ly innocent man was sentenced to be
hung with the same rope which had
caused the fatal accident; the rope was,
accordingly, fastened round his waist,
and a coil Of the same passed around mis-
neck, and he was hauled up few feet
from the ground, suspended a few mo-
ments and then lowered again. The
widow believing him from all appear
ances to be dead was satisfied, but ths
relatives OF the victim hastened to him
and applied restoratives, which were sc
effective that in course of time he go'
up and walked away. The widow was
furious, and demanded that the sen
tence should be again enacted, adding
Next time 1 will hold on to his fee
until he is dead" The judge, how.
ever, declared THAT justice must b'
tempered with mercy, and her demanS

An agreement just reached between
the Treasury and Post Office Depart
ments relative to the tax on money or
deTs does not affect the public mucn,
but It serves the convenience OF the
officials who are TO collect the taxes.
An almost total stoppage OF money or
der business on July /, 1t is said, has
been averted by this agreement which
is that the law does not require
stamps to be affixed to domestic money
orders. 1t would be. impossible, say
the officials, to supply stamps by that
date. AS construed by the officials,
the law requires simply an additional
charge OF the value OF the stamps 70
be made when the money order Is Is
sued. This construction OF the law will
obviate the use of about $4,000, ,00C
stamps each year, that being the ap-
propriate number OF money orders is
sued annually. It makes no materia
difference to the people. The thinl
with them is that they must pay th'
additional money. stamps or no stamps
