Dewey Writes a Letter.

An officer who was Admiral
Dewey's classmate has received a
most interesting letter from the
distinguished sailor, dated "off
Manila, says a Washington spec
ialto the Globe Democrat. After
modestly speaking Of the fight, Of
the admirable gun practice dis
Iplayed by all his gun crews,
Dewey says:
las we moved post Corregidor,
the Olympia being in advance,
not SO yards to the right, there
was muffied roar, and a column
iof water shot upward 80 or 40 feet
high. In moment another to my

called what Farragut said to Dray-
ton, of the Hartford, in Mobile
Bay, when the monitor Tecumseh
blew up, torpedoed, very near the
old flagship. Drayton looked q
little uneasy, almost any man
would at that time and place,
when Farragut roared out through
his trumpet: Cd the torpe-
does; signal feet to follow me- !
signaled the feet to follow, and it
did, most gallantly.

ship, Maria Cristina, with my g.

Admiral MoACcjo fought his ships
like a hero. He stood on his
quarter deck until his ship was
ablaze from stem to stern and alb
solutely sinking under his feet,
then transferring his flag to the
Isle de Cuba, he fought what was
left Of his fleet, standing fearless
ly amid hail of shrapnel until
his second ship and over 100 Of
her crew sank in whirl Of water
like lead.

Tips to Noblemen's Servants.
Re- AID <s,x, - q, liz = ,,.s&A

In old times to dine with q noblema.
cost more in tips to the servants than
club dinner. James Payne relates
that Lord Poor, a well-named Irish peer,
excused himself from dining with the
duke OF Ormund upon the ground that
he could not afford it. III you will
give me the guinea have to pay your
cook (fancy!) will come as often as
you choose to nsk me-" which was ac.
cordingly done. The duke, however,
had not the pluck to stop the practice.
Lord Taafe. general officer in the Aus.
trian service, did what he could. He al.
ways attended his guests to the door:
when they put their hands into their
pockets he said: "No. II you do give It,
give it to me, for II was who paid for
your dinner" To Sir Timothy Waldo
must be given the credit of putting an
end to the monstrous practice. After
dinner with the duke of Newcastle. he
put crown into the cooks hand, II
was rejected. II do not take silver, iii. ~
"very good, and l do not give gold. !"

tco~r'rht. ''s. by May ii.I'oek Focal

Mike looked at him ruefully, and
tried hard to talk, and for awhile he
succeeded; but he was broad awake
now. and the excess of his sympathy
was too great 4 burden for silence to
bear. He was persuaded that Darcie
needed only another chance, and some
good advice how to use it, in order to
be happy.
Il think the trouble was We talked
too much, Darcie," he resumed as gen.
tly as he could articulute. II think I
hear ye at it-talk an talk, and arp'
and argl Ye sat there in the house,
and ye had nothing else to do. I'd niver
give them the chanst to argy; they
can bate the divil at that. And what
had yez to talk about. that's barely
acquaint wild wan another's Christian
names? No; talkin' Is not in it."
Darcie flung on the blanket from
his face, and turned his eyes beseech-
ingly on Mike. Cant you leave OFF,"
he implored. His lips quivered, his face
was deathly white in the yellow candle
light, and points Of fine perspiration
stood out upon his forehead. Mike felt
like swearing great oaths as he looked
at his Little Darcie," who was worth.
in his opinion, all the girls that ever
twisted braid" But what he said was:
"Fm fair ashamed nv ye! Ye look,
this minute. like a whipped bantam
that's crnwled away undher the cur
ram bushes wild his head draggin' in

little chip av gurl ye had niver seen

undher lip; we'll make it yet" he
Dragged, with o cheerfulness that fell
onl Darcie's spirits as pelting spring
rain on that same whipped and dis
couraged fowl to which Mike had COM
pared him. We'll fech her out o. this.
It's only purtendin' she was. Sure,
