THE DEBILITAING BARNACLE.
1t is astonishing how the emergency
develops the man! That has been the
history in this and many other coun-
tries, and it seems to be the develop
nent of events now The following
dispatch from Washington shows that
some great intellect is watching over
the course of our naval affairs and we
may rest in peace with the calm assur-
ance that all is well,
washington, March 2.-The condi-
ton of the battleships and some of the
cruisers now with the home fleet is
not satisfactory to the naval authori-
ties, but at the present juncture the
withdrawal for overhauling of any of
this fleet is not deemed advisable"
War is imminent, ships are greatly
needed, there is hurry and hustle and
push and drive in every department
and up comes the complaint that our
whole fleet should be locked for clean
ing. 1t would not require many months
and not so very considerable portion
of the 5O,000,000 appropriation to do this
and what better time than now? But
the intellect aforesaid, the man for the
time, arises and remarks that sat the
present juncture the withdrawal for
oVerhauling of any of the fleet Is not
deemed advisable" Few and precious
are the words that wisdom utter said
Tuppef in his "Proverbial Philosophy"
forty years or more ago, and he must
have had some such instance of undi-
luted wisdom as this in mind. We shall
be told next, from the sages in charge
q a 1crtn hnt o1t
ular army would like a vacation of
two or three months, that the soldiers
may so home and plant gardens, still
the authorities, in view of the present
possibilities, will not recommend such
vacation before the first of May next!
1t is refreshing in this connection to
learn that the Texas, which is in the
dry dock at the New York navy yard,
is not seriously damaged by her recent
attempt to knock a hole in southern
reef, but having run upon all the
| rocks and reefs in home waters known
to her officers, she may be able to keep
| off OF many of them in future We
would suggest the keel-hauling of the
| sailing master the next time she runs
| aground, and If she must be locked
| again on account of the ignorance or
| carelessness Of her officers. let their
pay be locked also. 1t might prove
a reventiye. OF course it is not pleasant
| to be told that there are barnacles ON
| the Massachusetts, and "eel grass on
| the Iowa, and that the possibilities for
| speed of these ships, the former be-
longing to the flying squadron" are
| greatly decreased by their foul condi-
| ton, so that other ships sailing with
| them must wait for them and thus be
| crippled also. Why was not this con-
| dition Of affairs made known a month
ago and remedied before there was a
| prospect of need for immediate action

AN OLD BOOK AGENT.

How Well He Worked This Vicinity in
1872.
Arthur Chaplin Chandler Of Spring
field, Mass, has in his possession two
curious old books, which have been in
the hands of the Chaplin family, and
are of special interest from the sigma
lures Of ancestors with which they are
embellished. One of them is life Of
Whitefeld, published !, in 1872. The
other is Increase Mather's Discourse
Concerning Comets" published in Bos-
ton. The title page of the former runs
as follows:
Memoirs of the life Of Rev. George
Whitefield, A. NJ. late chaplain Of the
Right Honorable the Countess of Hunt
ington, in which every circumstance
worthy Of notice, both in his private
and public character, is recorded
faithfully selected from his original pa
pers, journals and letters-illustrated
by a variety of interesting anecdotes,
from the best authorities-with a par
ticular account of his death and flu
neral; and extracts from the sermons
which were preached on that OCCASION
compiled by Rev. John Giles, D. d.,

Concerning the book, the Springfield
Republican says: apparently Rev.
DR.. Giles was not unrewarded for his
pious labors, IL the goodly list of ad-
vance subscribers whom he is able to
include is any index to the demand for
his modest little biography. There are
twenty-one pages filled with their
names, arranged curiously in columns
by towns.
New Haven, North Haven, East Ha-
ven, Branford, Wallingford, Hamden,
Derby, Milford, Stratford Bridgeport,
Oxford Roxbury, Woodbury., Washing
ton, Cheshire, Meriden, Southington,
Waterbury, WATERFOWL, Litchfeld,
Plymouth, Bristol Middletown East
Windsor, Ellington and Coventry, are
all represented by extended lists, ar
ranged with two columns to the page,
and at that point the increasing pros
perity of the book seems to have made
it necessary to resort to three columns
for the remaining towns-Hartford,

tions to the original lisD Springfield,

GOOD AT THE'PRICE.

1t was in the early days of the
church, and the singing, of which rhe
congregation is now very proud, was in
an embryonic condition, owing to the
scarcity of funds, and not very good.
But the church was struggling to do it's
best and its people were working hard.
The warden was one of these, and he
had the interest of everything very
much at heart. He is warden now,
and he tells this story with much of a
Christian spirit or otherwise. accord
ing to whether or not people believe in
a militant Christianity. Anyway, this
is what happened:

a showily dressed woman to the war

church one morning.

TURNED OUT HIS USUAL LUCK

Nickel He Tried to Save Dishonesty
Cost Him Situation.
There are some people who seem to
be born to bad luck. Misfortune seems
to shake hands with them at every
turn in their lives. A rising young man
on the North Side has had distress
ing experience lately which he attri-
butes to perpetual OWL genius which
follows him.
Some time last fall, when in Clark
street cable car, he became deeply in
terested in the paper which he had just
bought and paid his fare twice. AS
soon as it flashed across his mind he
felt very fiat, but determined to get it
back some day Consequently from
that time forth a good deal of his at
tention while on the street cars was d.
rected toward this end. This laudable
design was partly baked because he
did not travel so much as formerly,
having lost his situation. But a friend
of his negotiated an opening for him.
One morning a week or 50 ago he was
on his way down to slip into his birth,
having nothing to do but introduce
himself to the proprietor He felt in a
very good humor and he bethought
himself of his purpose to recover the
nickel The car was unusually crowd
ed. He busted himself in newspaper
and looked very demure. For once at
least in his life his perseverance was
rewarded. He got down without pay
ing anything. But he was six or eight
times on the point of giving up because
of the looks that his fellow passengers
gave him. There was portly gentle
man seated directly opposite who
seemed especially indignant, but, con-
trary to the young mans expectations,
he did not call the conductors atten-
ton to him. He stepped off the car at
Washington street in a better humor
than he had been in for months. Then
he stopped to have his shoes shined
This done he hurried off to the office
of his prospective employer, congratu-
lating himself that for once in his life
he had escaped his perennial bad luck
But his cheerfulness faded into horror
when on appearing before the magnate
he discovered him to be no other than
the man who had sat opposite to him
in the car. He did not get the situa-

MANY WOULD GO TO WAR.

The ranks of Stanley Post, New Brit
ain, may be smaller to-day than they
were some twenty years ago, but the
old spirit of patriotism and national
pride is just as strong as ever. An ex-
commander Of the post said yesterday
that If war should be declared against
Spain at least 800 citizens would vol
unteer to go to the front, within TWEEN
ty-four. hours and many of these would
be old veterans, who served their coun-
try before in a longer and fiercer
struggle than this would be. Only one
man in Stanley Post is under so now.
Joseph White is not only the youngest
local Grand Army man, but in so far
as the records show he was the young
est soldier in the civil war. He was
less than ten years old when he went
to the front as a drummer boy with a
New Hampshire regiment in 1853 Be
fore the close of the war he laid aside
his drum and shouldered a musket. Jo-
seph would be one of the first to vol
unteer. One of New Britain's most
prominent clergymen has already made
application to the government for ap-
pointment as chaplain in some regi-
ment in case war is declared.-Hart-
ford Times.

to hold on. He made no reply. The
water touched his chin.
Not a man in the little crowd would
have blamed him if he had dropped his
head and ended it all; but the indomit-
able courage Of the man prevailed. He
took a new grip on the sand pipe and
pulled himself up as far as he could.
He threw his head back and turned
his chin upward, and in his white face
his mates saw the determination never
to give up until the flood actually over
whelmed him.
They were strong men, hard-headed
as hardfisted, and not afraid. But not
many men can calmly watch the last
great struggle of a gallant soul silent

A minute, perhaps, they waited, and
then, instead of the dreaded sound,
they heard the voice of Hayes appraised
in song:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord,
Amazed, they wheeled and sprang to-
ward him.
And then the sullen skies and the sod
den hills and the turbulent flood heard
the swing and the smash of the great
chorus of the glorious Battle Hymn of
the Republic:
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
For God is marching on.
Men not used to such things said it
was a providence Of God, and more
