law BONE FOR SAMPSON.
Tennessee Send a Unique Present
to Commanders of the North
Atlantic SQuadron.

Admiral Sampson is destined to go
down in history as the modern proto-
type OF his Scriptured ancestor, who
slew 1000 men with the jaw bone OF an
ass. Perhaps future historians will see
fit to disregard the American admirals
ancestry in this respect, but several
Tennesseeans have taken it upon them
selves to establish lineage between
Admiral Sampson and the strong man
of ancient history.
Our Sampson will have the jaw bone,
but whether he will be able to create
as much havoc with it among the Span
iards of the Cape Verde fleet as his an
cestor did with similar weapon among
his enemies thousands of years ago re-
mains TO be seen. In any event, W. G..
Gillespie and l.. C. Leonard, of McMinn-
vile, Tenn, are morally certain the
American naval officer will come pretty
near enulating the Samson OF old,
more especially when he is "hoodooed"
by the jaw bone OF a mule which they
have sent to Secretary Long for Ad-
| miral Sampson. 1t is highly polished,
resembling ivory in hue. and with the
SO far Gs known, counterpart of the
! historical jaw bone mentioned in the
| Scriptures. It's handle is ornamented
with silver, in which respect ii differs
materially from old Samson's weapon,
but this is not calculated to throw any
discredit upon its powers, should it
come in contact with the head of a
Spariard. Messrs. Leonard and Gill
lespie send the following note with the
jaw bone:
while this weapon may be regarded
by you as obsolete. we trust that the
victory won by your illustrious ancestor
may inspire you to win a greater vic
tory, with the additional equipments
which you possess"
Secretary Long will forward the mas
cot to Admiral Sampson at the earliest
moment.
