without pretense of secrecy, the pa
triots in the oppressed and reDeliious
isle. The last trip that the Virginius
made was in the autumn of 1873, when
she left Kingston Jamaica. with ITS
volunteers, and a complete armament,
and turned her helm toward the Cuban
coast. An accident to her machinery
obliged the Virginius to take tempor-
ary shelter in the harbor Of Kingston,
and this delay sufliced to put the Span
ish authorities on her track, SO that her
second start for the destined landing
was interrupted by the Spanish man
of-war Tornado, which, after pro-
tracted chase, effected the surrender
and capture of the Virginius. and took
her to Cuba. Her crew-mostly New
Yorkers-had not been made acquaint-
ed with the object of the expedition.
But innocence is n word the Spanish
have yet to learn the meaning of, and
the unfortunate men were made to suf-
fer no less on that account. Then, too,
at the moment of capture, the Virgin
ius was in reality an ordinary mer-
chantman floating under the stars and
stripes, for every object that might
have caused suspicion had been thrown
overheard. Again, the capture was
made in British waters-a fact, how
ever, that was not sufficient to stop
the course of Spanish determination.
The Spanish authorities, according to
their custom, condemned the entire ex-
petition to death, without even the
formality of the fimsiest kind of in
vestigation, and on the preteXt of pira-
cy on the high seas. On Nov. 2 the
four leaders of the expedition (includ-
ing Pedro Cespedes, brother of the
president of the Cuban republic) were
condemned to death, by order of Gen.
Juan Nepomuceno Burriel. The SEN
tence was executed on the following
day, when the four martyred patriots
were bound, blindfolded and shot.
Hardly had the smoke cleared from
above the bodies of these four lovers
of liberty when a second court martial
assembled to try the rank and file of
the expedition, including the captain
and crew of the vessel. AS it was i'm
practicable to execute the entire body
of victims at once. they were divided
into patches and on Nov. 4-the day
following the execution of the leaders

Captain Joseph Fry, native of Louisi-

The town grew like mushroom, for
1t became the center of a big mining

not long before there sprung up
local arlstocracy. based solely on

except by wagon trains and pony ex-
press. The indignant women raised q
crusade against him and 1t was not long
until his advertising patronage dwin-
died to less than n starvation revenue.
Skimper was game and swore that he
would sink with his colors flying. He
found his chance for sweet revenge Just
as he realized that he must give UP the
fight and seek for pastures new. There

A shocking instance of mistaken
identity is revealed by writer in the
Chicago Record: Shortly after the
holidays a congressman from one of
the western states received his quota
of garden seeds from the department
Of agriculture, and forthwith distribut-
ed them among his constituents. In
most instances they were fully appre-
ciated, as scores of letters attested; but

IN KOREA,

The Koreans are very quick and
bright. and pick up foreign languages
with surprising rapidity. They are
suspicious and cunning. and never trust
one another or foreigners. Among
them women live secluded life and
are kept in the background
The Koreans are usually regarded as
handsome race, for their physique Is
good, though the average height is but
little over five feet-yet the men are
very strong. The hands Of both men
and women are. without exception,
small. white and exquisitely formed,
and the tapering fingers are carefully
attended to.
Korea is about GOO miles long and 1876
wide. 1t is very mountainous and the
climate is one of the finest in the
world Nine months in the year the
skies are bright, and the winter is su-
perb. with its extreme dryness, clear
skies and crisp, frosty nights. From
September to June there are no ex-
tremes of heat or cold. Manufactures
are unimportant and there are no arts.
The Koreans are so different from
their neighbors, the Chinese and Japan
ese that strangers never have any diff
Guilty in identifying them. While they
have the slant Mongolian eye and a
complexion varying from brunette to a
swarthy olive, their noses are straight
and aquiline, with occasionally broad
and snub noses, with distended nos
trils; most of the Koreans have black
hair and those who have not cover 1t
with lampblack and oil to make 1t SO.

and was one of the most atrocious ex-
hibitions of human butchery that has
ever disgraccd the records OF Spanish
cruelty.
The Virginius-a sIde-whcel Iron
steamer, was at one time the property
of the United States. She passed
through several hands. and In 1870 she
was purchased by junta OF Cuban
revolutionists. in this country, but the
purchase was made under the name of
John F. Patterson, an American citi-
zen. The boat was used by the Cubans
for carrying ammunition and arms and
aid OF any kind to their fellow-coun-
trymen In Cuba. who at that time and
for several years previous had been in
rebellion against Spain. Belligerent
rights had not been recognized, and
the insurgents were not able to sail the
seas under the protecting flag of any
recognized nation. But. having bought
the ship in the name of an American
citizen, they usurped the right which
would have been his had he been the
actual owner, of holsting the American
colors. 1t was this question OF uncer-
tain ownership that turned the eide Of
judgment into n labyrinth OF difficulty,
when later In It's career the Virginius
gave cause for narrowly averted
clashing of Spanish interests with
American honor.
At that time. in New York, there was
