A New York man who was on a visit
to the little town of Greenwich. r.. L.,
visited an old Quaker meeting house
there and found book of records dating
from the early part of the year 1900 to
1749. From this book he copied the fol-
lowing:
September Is. 1G62-To We Aged and
Beloved Mr.. John Higginson: There be
now at sea a ship called the Welcome,
which has on board an hundred or more
of the heretcs and malignants called
Quakers, with w. Penn, who is the chief
scamp, at the head of them. The general
court has accordingly given secret orders
that Master Malachi Huscott, of the brig
Propassc do waylay the said Welcome
slyly as near the Cape OF Cod, as may
be, and make captive the said Penn and
his ungod1y crew, so that the Lord may
be glOrified and not mockeh on the soil
Of this new country with the heathcn
worship of these people. Much spoil can
be made by selling the whole lot to Bar
BADGES, where slaves fetch good prices in
rum and sugar and shall not only be to
the Lord great service by pnnishing the
wicked, but we shall make great good for
his ministers and people. Master lIus-
cot feels hopeful, and viii set ,iown
the news when the ship comes back.
Yours in ye bowels of Christ,

When Cllrran went to London to study

Englishman, u son of Lord Rockingham.
One day Curran was looking up law
point which he could not find in the few
books which formed his own scant H.

compliments to young Rockingham and
ask linn to lend the book required for a
few hours. tell that hughly EIrish-
man do not lend my books. but he can
come down here and read as much as
he p1cases," was the reply. A few days
later the servant of Tie lords son went
up to Curran's room saying. please, sir,
my master sends his compliments and
asks the loan of your bellows, to blow up
the fire as our bellows are out Of order
Tell that surly IIcnglishman ! do not

The game of miseducation, which. if
not speedily checkmated, will prove fatal
to the independence of the United States,

checked by prelate or priest, for so years
or more. 1t is germ disease" which.

A majority of the Irish can never, by
hook or by crook, by promises of heaven
or threats of hell, be made anything else

enemy
And still as from each martyrs hand
The fiery cross fell down in fighting,
A thousand sprang to seize the brand
Our Beltane fires relighting!
And once again through Irish nights,
Ger every dark hill redly streaming,
And numerous as the heavenly lights
Our rebel fires were cleaning!
And though again might fail that flame,
Quenced in the blood of it's devoted,
New cheftains rose, new clansmen came
And again the Green Flag hoated.

DEFENDING SAMPSON
Against Attacks by Letter Writers
to Navy Department.
HIGH PRAISE FOR HIS WORK.

iecretary Long Protests Against the
Cruel Insinuations Cast Upon the
Admiral, ana Speaks n Good Word
For All the Gallant Men.
Washington, Aug 9.-The secretary
Of the navy has received several let
ters violently attacking Admiral Samp-
son. In his reply to one Of these he
says:
81 am in receipt of your letter, and
hasten to assure you that what you say
about Admiral Sampson is so unjust
that II can only be pardoned on the
ground of your ignorance of the whole
matter. You have no appreciation of
the responsibilities that have been
upon Admiral Sampson: of his very
superior attanments as an officer, and
the splendid work he has done in pre-
pairing for the naval victory which was
the crowning accomplishment of his
efforts for weeks and weeks before
Santiago. Justice is always done In the
long run. But when you indulge in
such unfounded criticism / cannot for
bear to protest, as / should feel bound
to do If you had referred in similar
terms to any other of our deserving
officers.
81 can well understand why the
friends OF other officers should be so
enthusiastic and earnest as 1 am in
giving them the credit they so richly,
every one of them, deserve for their
glorious work. / cannot conceive of
anybody so mean as to detract by a
single hair from their merit. But /
cannot understand why such a bitter
feeling is manifested in many quar-
ters towards Admiral Sampson, when
all these officers subordinate to him,
in their reports, clearly and cordially
recognize the fact that, although at
the beginning he was, by orders from
Washington, going to confer with Cen
eral Shafter, yet the battle was fought
under his order, and that the victory
was the consummation of his thorough
preparation.
For myself, know of no prediction
for any one of these gallant men. 1
would crown every one of them with
laurel. 1 want them all to have their
just deserts. Every one of them de-
serves unstinted praise; not one of
them deserves anything less than full
measure for that days work And
therefore, I can think of nothing more
cruel than a depreciation of the merit
of the faithful, devoted patriotic COM
mander-in- chief physically frail, worn
with sleepless vigilance, weighed with
measureless responsibilities and details
letting no duty go undone, for weeks
with ceaseless precautions blockading
the Spanish squadron, and at last, by
the unerring fulfillment of his plans,
crushing 1t under the fleet which exc
cuted his command. yet now compelled
In dignified silence to be assailed as
vindicately as If he were an enemy to
his country.
Il am sure that no one more depre-
Gates such an attack than the officers
of the fleet-commodore. captains and
all Among them all is peace; whatever
disquet there may be elsewhere, the
| navy Is SERENE"

Deslre For GenerosItv.

Paris, Aug. 9.-The Temps says It is
to be hoped the noble resignation of
Spain will touch the heart Of President
Mckinley and that he will consider It
honorable to show that If the United
States is strong, tits great and magnani-
nous enough to spare the vanquished
enemy, not to abuse its victory and to
desire by the generosity Of its acts to
make the treaty with the people they
have learned TO respect on the battle
field a veritable pact friendship. 1t is
certain, The Temps adds, that Spain
will be rewarded for her wisdom. Freed
from the Cuban incubus, she will re-
gain energy and vitality and march
with joyful steps towards a calm and
prosperous future.
