The Boys.

1t seems strange and deplorable to
me that there are so many fathers and
mothers who do not think of giving
their little boys little spot of ground
for garden all their own.
Give them a few cents to buy seeds,
and let them come in their own name.
You know there is great delight in
possession. They know then they are
their very own, and it creates in
terest. DO not be afraid to let them
look over your catalogue and find what
they prefer. II their judgment is
not good, direct them in a kind and
interesting way. If it is possible,
let them have new seeds as before
stated.
I believe if more people were to
begia right and were considerate
enough with their boys, there would
be- very many more to stay on the
farm. If. they early learn the de
lights Of growing plants aud vegetables
many hours might be spent happily
at home, and you would know where
your boy was, and moreover know
that he is acquiring knowledge which
will be benefit to him whether he
take, up farming or some other occu-
nation. when he is grown to manhood.

let them have border of flowers
somewhere. You will never regret it.
There is in most boys an inborn love
for flowers and all things beautiful.
If there are those who dn not possess
this admiration for the lovely. there
is something wrong in their nature.
Cultivate this love for all things lovely
in nature, and they will grow up much
better men in every way. ! never SAW

The Man Who Knows it All.

LONDON, March 6.-According to
the statement of man whose cards
describe him as being an electrical
engineer, whose name cannot be dis
closed, but has been forwarded to
Washington, says he sold to Span1sn
officers in London several years ago a
large number of mines, eight or ten Of
which were placed in Havana harbor.
He says they we're made in special
way, and had specially and peculiar
ly constructed cable, which he con-
tends he can positively identify if the
smallest piece is produced. Some of
the mines, the man continues, we're
fixed so they could be fired from fort,
and two Of them had bulbs, arranged
that they would explode upon YES
sci coming in contact with them. But
the alleged electrical engineer adds
that he does not believe the bulbs
would be used in water as shallow as
that of Havana harbor. He exhibited
the plans of one Of these mines, which
he pointed out was the most likely to
produce the effect described as caus-
ing the wreck of the Maine. 1t was
numbered "2,' and was constructed
to contain 800 pounds Of gun cotton.
This is the story told by the man who
gives one the impression that he has
been sergeant Of engineers, or has
held some similar position. He was
apparently thoroughly posted upon
electrical matters and submarine
mines.
The man who made the foregoing
statement is al Englishman, and he
says he is willing to go to the United
States as a witness.

that time he was splendid looking
specimen of manhood and even now
wears his years easily. As young
man Capt Maxwell stood full six feet
in height, with broad, square shoul-
ders, black hair, mustache and whis-
kers. For two years after coming to
the United States Capt. Maxwell was
on board the steamer Niagara, engaged
in laying the first Atlantic cable.
Later he went on an expedition to
Africa
When the war came he was living in
AIartinsburg, Va, and at once enlisted
in the army as fourth sergeant in the
Wise Artillery, commanded by Capt.
Alburtis. On April 5, 1863, he was
detached from the artillery branch Of
the service and entered the secret
service in the Confederate navy. He
was acting in that capacity, with the
rank of captain, when he caused the
explosion of the City Point.
Another daring deed done by Capt.
Maxwell during his connection with
the secret service was his attempt to
destroy the Monitor, which was sent
down to check the destructive work of
the Merrimac. He left Richmond
with some torpedoes invented by a
man named McEvoy. Capt. Maxwell
had little faith in the torpedoes, for
their construction was faulty, but he
obeyed his orders. In the darkness OF
the night he swan out to the Monitor
and affixed one to each side. As he
had feared, there was no explosion.
When morning came and the crew of
the Monitor discovered the torpedoes
they were seized with terror and hoist
ed signals Of distress.
Sixteen war vessels of the enemy
were drawn up in line, extending from
Newport News to the mouth of the
Elizabeth River. Their boats respond
ed to the signals of distress and took
off the Crew of the Monitor. The
boats then rowed around and around
the ironclad, fearing to approach.
Gradually they grew bolder and came
close enough to lasso the torpedoes.
Capt. Maxwell also affixed torpedo
of different make to the war ship
Minnesota and exploded the same, but
although the ship was badly shaken,
there was not sufficient charge to do
her any material damage. After his
adventure at City Point Capt. Max
we'll went to Newberne, N. c., and
while the Federal forces were guard
ing the bridge there fired it in four
places underneath and made his
escape.
He was the inventor of perhaps the
first torpedoes used in the civil war;
A New York paper Of February 20 last
printed pictures of some old-time tor
pedoes, the same being identical with
those invented by Capt. Maxwell, and
which were made for him during the
war by Mr.. Barrett, now living in this
city.
After the war Capt. Maxwell went
to New York, and while there the fact
that he had blown up the ships at City
Point was printed in the newspapers.
This created such intense feeling
against him that he left the city. He
then went in the Peruvian navy as
volunteer, but had yellow fever, and
after his recovery came to Richmond.
where he has lived ever since.
Capt. Maxwell, during his connec-
tion with the Confederate navy, cap
tured four vessels-thc Titan, the
Jane Dufeld, the Iolno and the Mat
tie Parker. He now has the compass
of one Of these vessels and the night
glasses of another.

America and the English Language
CWiniam Archer in Pail Mall Gazette
and Living Age.)
We are apt in England to class as an
"Americanism" every unfamiliar or
too familiar locution which we do not
happen to like. AS a matter of fact
there is pretty lively interchange be-
tween the two countries of shpshod
and vulgar "journalese"; and as the
picturesque reporter is greater power
in America than he is with us, we per
haps import more than we export OF
this particular commodity. But there
can be no rational doubt | think, that
the English language has gained, and
is gaining. enormously by its expansion
over the American continent
The prime function of language,
after all. is to interpret the form and
pressure" of life-the experience,
knowledge, thought emotion and aspi-
ration of the race which employs it.
This being so. the more tap-roots IAN
guage sends down into the soil of life
and the more varied the strata of hu-
man experience from which it draws
it's nourishment, whether of vocabu-
larry or idiom, the more perfect will be
it's potentialities as a medium of eX-
preston.
We must be careful it is true, to
keep the organism healthy, to guard
against disntegratiOn of tissue: but ITO
that duty American writers are quite
as keenly alive as we.
