in which were seated Captain General
Blanco, General Pando, the commander OF
the Spanish forces in the field; DR.. Con-

2:15 p. M, another salute of fifteen guns
was fired from the fortress.
Assembled in the hall, in addition to the
members of congress, the colonial secre-

eral Losado, the civil and military author
tiles, the bishop, the foreign consuls, and

cruiser Fulton, both Of which are in port.
Besides the officers and officials there
were present many representatives of the
Spanish nobility, the leading politicians of
Havana, and the representatives of the
local and some of the foreign newspapers.
There were also many ladies present.
The captain general was received with
the greatest respect as he entered the hall,
which was finely decorated. In the CEN
ter of the hall, on a platform, was a big
presidential table, under canopy, and
right and left of it were portraits of the
little king of Spain and his mother, the
queen regent.
General Blanco took up position behind
this table. At his right were the membelg
Of the colonial government. and the Sec
retary general of the cabinet. On his
left stood Generals Parade, Pando and

April 20, 1873, John Paul Jones

The North Atlantic squadron, under
Acting Rear Admiral Sampson, blockaded
the city Of Havana on the 10th anniver-
sary of the day of the first naval hero of
the United States, John Paul Jones, landed
at the town Of Whitehaven, on the west
coast Of England, and attempted to burn
and destroy all the shipping. He gave the
people Of that seaport q scare such as they
have not had since the Spanish 'In-
vincible'' Armada sailed from Cadiz. bound
for England.
Jones was cruising in the Irish sea in the
warship Ranger, carrying only eighteen
guns, all Of which were Of small caliber,
even for that day. He had 1923 men on
board. He had captured several rich
prizes, and his daring deeds had thrown
the entire coast into such fever of alarm
that his one light vessel was exaggerated
into an imposing squadron, and the British
admiralty office was seriously considering
the calling of the English navy from ell
quarters to drive Jones from the British

Gene Field and Carl Schurz

The Scribners publish 1.-THE Eugene Field
I Knew" by Francis Wilson. The book
combines personal appreciation and remin-
iscences with a pretty complete biblio-
graphy of Fields writings. AS specimen
Of the antics recorded in the volume, take
the following:
He was one of the journalists who once
accompanied Carl Schurz from st. Louis on
a political campaign through Missouri. AT
one of their halting places the gentleman
who was to introduce Mr.. Schurz did not
put in an appearance. 1t was suggested
that Field make the Introductory remarks.
The audience was large, and expectation
ran high. Field puffed out his chest, and,
assuming super-dignif1ed manner and a
strong German accent, addressed the meet
ing as follows:
Ladies and Chentilmens:
IT have such severe colt dot cannot
make me speedg tonight, but haf die
pleasure of to introduce to you my brilliant
young chournalistic companion, Mr.. Eu.
cheene Fieldt, who will spheak in my
blace"
With this Mr.. Schurz was presented it is
said, in no very pleasant frame of mind.
The explanation which followed caused
uproarious laughter. One can but marvel
at Fields temerity, for he was wholly un-
known at the time.
In seeking verification of this story the
following letter was received from Mr..
Schurz:
whether the Eugene Field anecdote you
mention in your letter is literally true, I do
not now remember. But should not Won
der If 1t were. He and another gentleman
accompanied me on 'stumping' tour in
Missouri In 1874, and he constantly amused
and sometimes astonished us with his hui
morous pranks. The one you speak of may
we'll have been one of them."-New York

On the night of April %, IT'S, Jones drew
UP his powerful fleet of one little ship off
Whitehaven. About one hundred ships
were crowded into the harbor. Jones
landed with thirty men to carry out the
bold plan Of setting fire to the ships. The
men all carried candles, but the high wind
put them out, SO Jones and his men went
into the houses in the vicinity and got tin
der. They fired several ships, ware
houses and wharf buildings, and escaped
on board the Ranger without the loss of n
single man, although Whitehaven had a
population of several thousand. The ex~
plot was one of the boldest ever executed
in the history Of the navy Of this country

War, which usually deprives nation of
some of the necessities of life, will not
take away from the United States even
the luxuries Of food and raiment. Spain
might blockade every port on the coasts
Of the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, the
gulf and the great lakes; might patrol the
Canadian line and the Mexican border, and
so long as it did not invade this country,
the American people at large would hardly
know the difference. There would be SO few
of the luxuries or even the delicacies of
food that the United States could not raise
that the country would not notice the lack
Of them. The vineyards Of the Rhine, the
fruit orchards of France and Italy, the nut

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade
R. G. Dun & Company's Weekly
Review of Trade says:

R. G. Dun & Companys Weekly
Review of Trade says:
ga state of war was so greatly
dreaded by those who have seen
nothing like it for more than thirty
years that its coming has hurt less
than its apprehension. Especially
since the victory at Manila indicated
superiority of the American navy, gun
for gun, expectation that the war will
not last long has influenced all mar
kets, and stocks have advanced the
average prices for railroads $2.7o per
share. The::general condition of bust
ness has been materially improved.
The fact that gold is now used al
most exclusively between the Treas
ury and the Clearing House, indicates
the entire freedom from apprehension
about the currency or public credit.
The most sensational of all changes,
and the most practically important
has been the rise in wheat. Receipts,
after averaging less than 100000
bushels per week for four months,
have suddenly risen to more than
3,5oo,ooo bushels. Exports have not
been checked by higher prices as yet,
but have caused them, amounting for
the week to a,o94,3S9 bushels, flour
included, against I,49S,I67 bushels
from Atlantic ports last year, and $780,
84S bushels against 99,5oS from
Pacific ports. The remarkable rise on
Thursday was largely due to the re.
moval of duties by France, and the
prohibition of exports by Russia, both
showing the extraordinary needs
abroad, so that the rise of 25I cents
for the week is not without excuse.
Corn failed to advance corresponding
! ly, though the exports were 5000, 900
against 2,725,o43 last year, the ag-
gregate since July first having been
I7S,ooo,ooo bushels, larger than ever
before to date, although wheat ex-
ports have also been larger than last
year, far greater than in ordinary
years, and nearly the largest on record.
Industries have received wonder
full stimulus from tine conviction that
hostilities will not last long, and from
heavy government orders. Besides
great demand for steel plates and
other iron products and ammunition,
government has ordered $4,000
; yards wooden cloths, $4,000 blankets,

AN ANIMATED PICTURE.

At Least the Other Women Said She

This girl had the nickel between her
pretty lips before she stepped aboard the
car at the corner of Eleventh and L
streets. The nickel was probably part
of her shopping change. Her hands and
arms were filled with bundles and pack
ages, and she had no doubt converted
her inviting mouth into car fare re-
ceptable before leaving the last en-
porium she visited. Even after she
found seat she made no move to re-
move the nickel from it's enviable lodg-
ment. She was too busy counting her
packages and bundles, to see if she had
lost any, probably.
The conductor as the girl got aboard
had soowled when he observed the nickel
resting between her pearly teeth, for
conductors are prosaic. With the coin
still showing its shiny rim between her
lips-a delightful effect of silver and
coral in combination-the girl looked
up winsomely in the eyes of the con-
ductor when be approached her for her
fare. The conductor held out his hand
with pretty short, "Fare, missl"
The girl very carefully set each and
every one of her bundles and packages
in the space beside her, smiling vaguely
the while. When both of her hands
were free, she drew tiny, spotless lace
handkerchief from the lizard skin bag
hanging from her girdle. Then she
took the cent piece from between her
lips, wiped and polished it carefully
with the handkerchief and, with the
|prettiest grimace in the world, dropped
it into the now apologetic paw of the
conductor. The conductor smiled, and

prospect for crystals in the old Green
Mountain mine, near Mokelumne hill,
in Calaveras county, Cal. He found a
number CT fine specimens, and one of
them is claimed to be the largest group
or mass of crystals ever found. AS taken
out from the drift where it was uncov-
cred it was II feet z inches in circum-
ference. 1t was feet 2 inches long, 3
feet 6 inches wide and feet inches
high. 1t weighed 2,200 pounds. The
mass included one large central crystal
and surrounding group Of smaller
ones From tho central one it was esti-
Eated that a perfect sphere IA inches
in diameter could be cut, while several
others from three to eight inches in
diameter could be obtained from the
mass. MIR. Burton has found in all
