THE NAMES OF FLOWERS.

Thefuchsia was called after Leonard Fuchs, famous German botanist.
 The dahlia was named in honor of Andrew Dahl, a Swedish botanist.
 The magnolia took its name from Pierre Magnol, an eminent writer on botanical subjects.
 Tulip is derived from the Persian word "dulband," meaning turban. Bus beck, a German traveller, brought the first bulb to Europe in the sixteenth century.
 Lilac is from "lilaj," a Persian word signifying flower. The plant was in- troduced into Europe from Persia in the fifteenth century by German traveller named Busbeck.
 Dandelion is from the French "dent de lion," Hons tooth" and in nearly all languages it bears a similar name. The analogy that suggested this name becomes quite clear when we remem- Der that the lion was the animal sym bol of the sun. The yellow dandelion, with it's golden rays, is minia ture representation of the sun, and. through association, It's rays are identical with the lions teeth.

Our Ilaval Expeditions Elways Successful
Many instances in Which American Fleets Have Gone
 Into soreen Waters and WoD Honor Old GIorv"

The struggle between the colonies and the mother country was hardly begun when congress purchased such ships as could be found in our ports available for fitting out as men-of- war. Of this hastily-gathered navy. composed for the most part of crank, clumsy merchantmen, Esek Hopkins was made commander in chief. On the 17th of February, 1776, the first American squadron cleared for sea, sailing to the south.
 The intention was to proceed against a British force in Virginia. Not finding this force, Hopkins kept on to the Bahama islands, where he landed and brought off 100 cannon and an immense quantity of military stores.
 In the same year Capt. Lambert Wickes, in the brig Reprisal, the first American vessel, by the way, to fly the stars and stripes, descended upon Martinique, where he outfought the English cruiser Shark, of 16 guns.
 < little later Capt John Rathburne. in the Providence, paid the Bahama islands Q second visit. Near Fort Mas sau he put ashore 21 men, one-half his
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-08-14

entire fighting force, and with these carried the fort by assault. He spiked the cannons and took 300 stands of muskets, together with q considerable quantity of ammunition.
 The assault was made about mid night, and by morning the intrepid Yankee was ready to give battle to a ten-gun brig which, with convoy of live merchantmen, appeared off the harbor. After brief but fierce en- gagement the English vessel struck her eolors, and Rathburne oyerhauled and captured the traders one by one, at his leisure. Two of these he burned when he had distributed their cargoes amongst the other three.
 While Wickes and Rathburne were thus active in the south, John Paul Jones was coming in the vicinity of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton in the brig Alfred, one of Hopkins original fleet and a singularly worthless sort

return, but they were outfought and outsailed, and in the end hauled down their colors and surrendered.
 After this engagement the Proyi- denee and Alfred lost each other in thick weather, and Jones entered Con so bay alone. Here he fired a trans port as she lay at anchor, took three vessels of the coast fleet. and priva, teer notwithstanding that they were i'll convoy with q ship of the line. He had to abandon his project ofliberating the American prisoners in the mines. however, as the harbors were checked with ice and he could nowhere make fl landing.
 This activity near al home served to give the American tar his bearings. and to create longing for a wider field.
 Capt. Lambert Wicl1es had the honor to command the first American shin of war to cross the Atlantic. This was the HePrisal, 16 guns The occasion of voyage was 10 land Benjamin Franklin in France. After Franklin had disem- parked at Nantes Wickes sailed into the Bay of Biscay, where he made two prizes, one of them royal mail packet.
 So impressed was Franklin by this.

meeting an overwhelming force, Jones loitercd about the English coast, and on April 24 fell in with the Drake. As the two vessels neared each other the hail came from the Englishman; What ship is that?"
 To this Jones responded: "It is the American continental ship Ranger; we are waiting for you. The sun is but little more than an hour from setting; 1t is therefore time to begin"
 He then ordered the Rangers helm hard up, and as sine came slowly round the Drake followed the maneuver un. til the two ships were broadside Sc broadside and drifting with wind fair astern. Less than an hour later, and 1 just as the sun went down, the Drake struck her colors. She had lost 4s men in killed and wounded and had had enough.
 In 1901 the Mohammedan states along the Mediterranean, which had for years preyed on the commerce of Europe, were given whiff of Ameri- can gunpowder. The United States had refused to pay the price the pi- rates were accustomed to exact for peace and a war broke out in eonse- quence with the pasha of TripoH. A force was dispatched to the east under Capt. Richard Dale to administer the needed lesson.
 Numerous engagements were fought with the pirates, Lieut. Decatur's burn. ing of the frigate Philadelphia, which, while hard aground, had been cap tured by the enemy, being especially notable for gallantry and daring. The war lasted four years, and in the end the pasha was glad to sue for peace.
 It became necessary to chastise Al giers in 1872, and Stephen Decatur, the hero of the Philadelphia, was sent on this mission He either destroyed or seized the chief vessels of the bey, com pelIed him to release such American prisoners as he held and finally forced him to come aboard the flagship and sign a treaty.
 Again, in 1821 an expedition was sent against pirates, though somewhat nearer at home. This was to the West Indies, which had become the haunt of French and Spanish sea marauders. These men were known as Picaroons, and did thriving business in plunder- ing merchant vessels. Our fleet hunted the freebooters down and burned or seized their ships.
 Just ten years later John Downs led a somewhat similar expedition, which had for its objective point the island of Sumatra, then infested by Malay pirates.
 Not far from the scene of Dewey's splendid triumph over the Spanish, as distances go in the South Pacific, the Portsmouth and Levant. commanded by Hull and Armstrong, assailed the Canton Barrier forts, which put up a desperate defense, but it was quite as futile as Montejo's fight, and our com mercial treaty with China and the free- dom of her ports was the result. Two years later, in 1858, a squadron made the voyage to South America to serve notice on Paraguay that the rights of the citizens of the United States had to be respected, no matter where his enterprise took him, or into what countries.

that he los1 no time in advocating the maintenance of naval force to harass the English trade in European waters. As a result of his urging the brig Lex ington. Capt. Henry Johnson, was sent across, while sloop was purchased and fitted out in France. With this fleet so small that it was ridiculous, but so well handled that it was dangerous. Wickes sailed twice around Ireland, and took prize after prize.
 Another American sailor to harass the British coast was Gustavus Con nyngham, in the Surprise, his first prize being the mail boat Prince of Orange This capture caused such intense feel ing in England that France. nominally at peace with her hereditary enemy, vas forced to hand over both the Sur prise and Prince of Orange, when they put into a French port.
 Connyngham was arrested and for a time 1t looked as though he would be
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-08-14

executed as a pirate Franklin was finally able to secure his release, and nothing daunted, the pluclly Yankee skipper put to sea again in the Re yenge. She was armed with II six pounders and 20 small swivels, and was the fifth vessel of the United States to operate in English waters.
 So active and daring was Connyng- ham that lie literally paralyzed the English shipping trade. Insurance rates rose to p per cent, while ten per cent. was asked between Dover and Calais, and for time all shipments in English vessels were discontinued Such was the panic Connyngham and his one small brig caused, that at one period almost the entire carrying trade was in the hands of the French.
 The full extent of this panic may be judged when it is said that i'll 1774 England deemed it necessary to ini- press but 345 men for service at sea. In TIT, however, her feeling of securi- ty had so far changed to something quite different that the press gangs were kept busy and gathered in 34,- 458 sailors. After Connyngham came John Paul Jones in the 1s-gun brig
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-08-14

Ranger. He first appeared off the coast of Ireland and captured prize within sight of land. This was April II, IT'S. Three days later he took his second prize, the Lord Chatham. His next feat was to enter the Bay of Car riekfergus, disguised as a merchant man. His object was to surprise the English man-of-war Drake as she lay at anchor in the harbor. He failed in his first attempt to drop down along side of the Englishman, and, bad weather coming on, he was forced to put to sea. He then turned his atten- tion on Whitehayen. lis purpose was the destruction of the shipping there and to put an end by one good fire of shipping to all the burnings in America" On his entering the harbor he found the tide out and over 200 ves- sels great and small, either aground or high and dry. Jones went ashore with two boats crews and set fire to these. Some 500 English sailors were in the town at the time, and they gath cred on the beach, but such was the terror inspired by his name and pres ence that they durst not modest the American captain or his men, and stood idly by while their ships went mp in smoke. Leaving the conaagra- ton he had started when it was we'll under way, Jones dropped the Ranger across to the Isle of St. Mary, his ob- jeet being to capture the earl of Sel- kirk. His lordship was absentin Lon don, however, and so escaped this at- tention from the Yankees.
 Notwithstanding the risk he ran of
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-08-14

of craft, from all accounts. It was his incompatible deXterity and skill alone that enabled him to keep from falling into the hands of the heavily armed British ships, that had been ad- vised of his coming and were on the watch for him.
 From the captain of brig he had taken Jones learned that a number of American prisoners were working in the Cape Breton coal mines. On his return to Newport harbor he pro- posed to congress that an attempt be made to effect their release, and in No vember he sailed north again in com pany with the Providence, the same ship which had been so successful in the West Indies, but now commanded by Capt. Hoysted Hecller.
 On the 18th of the month, in the neighborhood of Cape Breton, the American ships fell in with two armed British vessels. One, the ten gun brig Mellish, was heavily laden with supplies for Carleton's army and carried force of marines in addi- tion to her regular crew. Jones and Hecker bore down on them and opened fire, which the enemy was not slow to
