The New York In Action.

The ship seemed to work and to fight
by herself. You heard no human voice
Of command, only the grieved tones OF
Lieutenant Mulligan rising from his
smoke choked deck below, where he
could not see 10 aim his inch gun, and
from where he begged Lieutenant Mar
BILE again and again to Take your
id smoke out Of my way"
Lieutenant Marble was vaulting in
and out Of his forward turret like a
squirrel in a cage One instant You
would see him far out on the deck,
where shattered pieces of glass and
woodwork eddied like leaves in a hurri-
cane, and the next pushing the turret
with his shoulder as though he meant
to shove it overheard, and then he would
wave his hand to his crew inside and
there would be a racking roar, part
ing of air and sea and sky. fash Of
flames vomiting black smoke, and he
would be swallowed up in it like q
wicked fairy in a pantomime.
And instantly from the depths below,
like the voice of a lost soul, would rise
the protesting shrek Of Dick Mulligan
asking frantically, "Ob, will you take

How many Of the undergraduates and
alumni Of the College of New Jersey,
asks Mr.. Mellick in THE Story of an
Old Farm" are aware that their being
able to sing of the glories of "Old Mas
sau" on campus and at annual banquet
is due to the humility Of colonial gov
ernor? He then tells the origin Of the
name Nassau hall.
In 1856, one year before the death OF
Governor Jonathan Belcher, that digni-
tary presented his library to Princeton
college. In gratitude for the gift the
trustees requested that they might be
allowed TO give his name to the now
venerable building, then being erected,
which for so many years has housed the
faculty and students of this ancient seat
of learning. His excellency declined the
proffered distinction.
The governor requested that it should
be named to express the honor we re-
tain, to quote his words, lin this re-
mote part of the globe, to the immortal
memory of the glorious King William
III, who was branch of the illustrious
house of Nassau and who, under God,
was the great deliverer of the British
nation from those two monstrOus furies,
popery and slavery. "
And so it was that the trustees decid-
ed that the new collegiate building :" i'll
all time to come" should be called
Nassau hall.

An Ohio boy has the credit Of hoist

May 3, Lieutenant Williams landed
with his command Of marines from the

the captured navy yard, which was the
first act Of possession. At p. m. he
hoisted the first American flag over Ca.

James Grant and Corporal Joseph Poe

"As | stood in front Of my little
guard of marines and watched the col
ors fly out to the breeze from the same
staff that few days before had borne
the flag of Spain, now humbled by our
little fleet, my feelings were Of wonder
how it had all happened and Of pride
that l was the one to hoist the first flag.
1t was the happiest moment Of my life,
and l couldn't keep the tears back "

Spanish Names on Pullman Cars.

"The public is dead sore on Spanish
names" said Pullman conductor
as he turned away from looking over
the register You may not believe
it, but 1 have found strong preju-
dice against the Spanish names on the
Pullman cars, and the company is ar
ranging to change many Of them. The
fire of patriotism is too hot just at pres
ent to put mp with anything that even
suggests a don. The company may kick
on it, but one of the superintendent
told me recently that several of the cars
had already been sent to the shops to
have the names changed. Some of the
most poetical names in use must 90, be-
cause they suggest the queen regent, lit
tie Alfonso or some city in Spain. Fer
example, such cars as the Cadiz, Blanco,
CASTLE, Seville, Mercedes, Moreno, Luz
sitania and Andalusia are being square
ly boycotted And this is no joke.
I'm Pittsburg the other day passen-
ger took a day coach rather than pay
for a seat in the car named CASTLE. Up
on the Erie road the handsome car
Blanco was pelted with stones and mud
while it was standing outside one Of the
best stations on the system. The people
simply won't have these Spanish names.
l Just heard how the Mercedes had been
turned down on the Panhandle line
week ago, and how the porter had rid
den 200 miles without soul in his car.
OF course he kicked. Who wouldn't t!
The porters are disconsolate, and say
there is no use talking the fine Spanish
names won't go these days, and when a
porter gets leary of his car you might
as well take it off. New Orleans

Avoiding German.

The German papers call attention to
the fact that the German language is
being less and less used in the German
and French cantons of Switzerland One
reason for this is the fact that it is con-
sidered more aristocratic throughout
Switzerland to speak French than Ger
man. But another reason is found in
the great influx of French workmen ON
the Jura Simplon railway, due to the
fact that French Swiss influences sue
ceeded in forcing Marks, the Berne
statesman and advocate of the line, out
of the management and transferring the
headquarters from the German city Of
Berne to the French city Of Lausanne.
Complaint is also made by German
newspapers that in the maps of the road
French names Of towns are substituted
for German, such as Bienne, Douanne
Gleresse, Melville. etc. for Bel. Twann,
Ligerz, Neuenstadt. etc.

BEDTIME AT THE zoo.
Mamma Elephants Way OF Putting Her
Baby 80 Sleep.

many ~ Sitcps
It was sunset time in summer, and
the gentle animals of the zoo in one OF
the great cities of the world were in
Yards and folds outside the buildings
When l reached the Enclosure belongin5
to mother elephant, there was a large
number e men, women and children
standing along the fence. They were
very quiet, as if they were afraid of dis
turbing some one. AS 1 stopped by the
fence and looked in the yard a small
girl touched my skirt pursed up her
mouth and giving me solemn look of
warning pointed to the elephants
Mamma elephant had her trunk
around her baby's neck and seemed to
be whispering and encouraging him as
he rubbed his head against her knee.
He stood a moment, then raised his
head, tapped his big little ears, gave a
flirt of, his little cord of tail and trot-
ted off by his mothers side to the CEN
ter of the yard There she left him and
went to pile of hay that stood in a
corner. This she took up bunch by
bunch, with her trunk, so nicely that
she did not drop wisp of it, aud spread
it around her child, who had not stirred
from the spot where she left him.
When the hay had been all spread
around the baby, the mother stepped
into the center and began to tread it
down with her feet, the little one fol-
lowing her motions exactly till per
fectly even space had been trodden
down; then mamma elephant stepped
out again, went to the farther side Of
the yard and fumbled about the ground
with her trunk. As she came back her
baby fiourished his small trunk and
tapped his ears, making at the same
time a soft granting sound, as if he
knew what was coming and liked it.
This time mamma stood outside the
baby's bed and beginning with the
back Of his ears blew a small cloud Of
fine dust into the folds of skin behind
them, then into those around his legs
and under him till he was thoroughly
powdered for the night. This done, she
again put her trunk about his body; the
little fellow dropped to his knees on his
carefully trodden bed, and after a few
soft pats and a few soft grunts from his
mother he lay as a well trained child
of the elephant family should.
The mothers work, however, was not
yet done. She took up delicately the
hay from the edge Of the bed, and be-
gan tossing it lightly along his sides
and up toward his back, till its ridges
no longer showed.
When all was done, the small girl
who had warned me not to disturb the
proceedings heaved a great sigh, and,
turning to me, said, Il would just like
to know what they do it forl" SO l told
her, explaining the habit wild animals
have Of treading their beds to make
sure there are no snakes in the grass;
the necessity Of dust powdering the
young, whose skin is tender in the folds,
and who are troubled by insects; the pill
ing up Of the dry grass around them, to
conceal them from the possible hunter.

For Symmetry.

Lord Selkirk had formal garden
an Italian garden, as it is called-and
his gardener was very proud Of it.
One day, says The Golden Penny
Lord Selkirk found boy shut up in the
summer house at the end Of the terrace
at st. Mary's Isle and was informed by
his gardener that it was for stealing
apples. On reaching the other end OF
the terrace, where there was another
summer house, Selkirk beheld the gar
dener's son looking dolefully out Of the
window.
"Eh, John, what's this? Has your
boy been stealing too?'
INA, na, my lord, was the answer.

The Park Theatre Building.

We took an half hour off yestsr
day and visited Spring Lake Park,
tor the purpose of inspecting the
theatre building now in course of
construction under the supervision
OF Manager Whitley. We found
the stage completed without the
settings and the arches to receive
the covering of the auditorium be-
ing erected. The dimensions of the
auditorium when completed will be
slxty-four feet long by ffty-two
feet wide and will have two galleries
in the rear, one for white aud one
for colored The stage is Aka in
the clear and will haye five dressing
rooms on each side, each 10 feet
square, The space from the floor
OF the stage to the upper works
will admit of l8-toot scenery. There
will be promenade on the outside
of the entire building, covered in,
and the entrance and exits from the
building will be provided with dou-
BILE doors the entire length of the
building on both sides, which can
be opened or closed as the case may
demand. The building is being put
up in a substantial manner with
truss roof, and will answer the pur-
pose to a "t' tor all entertainments
we may have here. The manager
has billed Hettle Bernard Chase in
Yankee Jack in Cuba" for Sept.
20, 30 and Oct, l, with an afternoon
matinee, and he tells us he expects
to put on a full force of men and
get it ready for the above dates.
Our visit to the park has convinced
us that Manager Whitley is a "con-
struCtor" who understands what he
is about, and had he turned his
hand to this work alone, he would
have made a great success in the
building and constructing line.
