HAVANA uARBoR. FEE. 10, 1893.

Death came out Of the black nlFiits deep'
And stored for n baltic ships SIDE;
Rut never n man of the sailor elan
Looked on the Deathman's ride
Tho Knnsnn lad and the Hampshire boy.
And the boy from Tennessee,
with never u fear that death was near
Swung into eternity.
Nor flag, nor shot nor brittle cry,
Nor the strain Of the National air,
Broke into the gloom OF the sailors doom,
Nor yet prostly prayer
There looks a face from far-away home,
With eyes bent on tho sea, -.
For the Hampshire Jack who'll not eohic
back
Or the lad from Tennessee.
Not theirs was the glory of battle;
No victory crowned the day,
But a nation weeps and the dark sea keeps

KIondike Innocents Abroad.

The credulity and gullibility of the
average person when penetrated by a
single idea and carried away by en-
thusiasm was never better set forth
than in one popularity of the pilgrims
who are now marching toward the
klondlke. 1t has aroused local wonder
and amusement to notice the large and
thriving trade in dogs that accompanies
the departure of immigrants to Alaska.
We have had occasion to rejoice of late
in the collection from our streets and
the departure from our precincts of a.
most or stray ours, of greater or less
value. that are gathered in by enter
prising collectors. and either sent by
rail in cages to the coast to be dis
posed of there. or, more generally, sold
at the union depot to men who are en-
route for the Klondike; and who are
perfectly convinced, in their innocent
minds, that they cannot get over the
rough country between the coast and
the mines unless they have dog train
along with them.
This traffic in dogs, at this remote
and initial point of the journey, argues
as nothing else could do the wholly
unsophisticated character of the aver
age gold hunter. These people are per-
feet children we heard, the other day
Of a sixyear-old boy-who had secreted
himself in freight car, and was only
discovered by his anxious father at a
distant station, and whose supplies for
the journey consisted of a quarters
worth of crackers We laugh at this
little fellow for ideas founded on imagi-
nation instead Of ondfact. The rugged
Klondiker is arlington precisely the
same information and initiative He
has read in books and in the newspa-
pers that in the Arctic regions the dog
and the sledge are an Indispensable
means of conveyance and he has heard
Of their usefulness in the stretches be-
tween Dawson City and the nearest
point of contact with civilization. So
he considers few dogs to be as neces-
sary a part of his outfit as a pair Of

blankets and a pickax; and he buys
them, just as people coming to Mime
sofa, right up to the last few years,
have always provided themselves with
compasses to learn the direction when
they should be lost upon the treeless
prairies, and formidable shooting irons
with which to lay low the savage red
skin.
OF course, the dogs that these miners
in anticipation take with them from
distant points and different climates
will be Of about as much use when
they get to Alaska as would be a car
load of CRATES. Their utility in
that country is as that Of an an
telope from the tropics compared
with the reindeer. bred among
Siberian SHOWS. The dog is, indeed, an
invaluable adjunct to life and travel
near the Arctic circle; but he is an
animal of distinct breed, with gen.
erations Of ancestry behind him accus-
toned to that icy environment, and
trained from puppyhood in the work
that he has to do His feet are in
ured to snow and ice, his body to the
intensest cold Of the Northwestern win
ter, and his muscles and lungs to the
work of pulling heavy loads Of freight
over long distances. He understands
what he has to do, and he is thorough
ly acclimated. To take a dog Of an
other race and reared in another cline
to work in the KIondike is about as
sensible as to carry along a banana
plant in a pot, that it may be planted
in that frozen soil. These imported
dogs cannot stand for moment either
the climate or the occupation for which
they are designed, and the first touch
Of hard practical experience will strew
the coast of Alaska, if they ever get
that far, with the bodies of slaughtered
CANNES.
The interesting fact disclosed by the
rise and growth of this business is the
evidence which it gives Of the total
ignorance, on the part Of most of these
gold hunters, of the conditions of life
and labor which they are going to meet,
and the tremendous hardships and suf-
ferings that are necessarily awaiting
those who have begun a journey of
peril. with about as much idea of its
facts and conditions as the child who
follows the adventures of Prince
Charming or Of Bluebeard, and whose
imagination makes it all part Of ac-
tual life.

told him. Then he took the papers
straight to the commissioner, and each
agreed it was a shame, and the COM
missioner ordered the pension to issue.
And the writer figured up how much
the one-armed man in Massachusetts
would get on his certificate and found
that his check called for over $4,000.
And we will all agree with him in his
conclusion that Sin any public office
where such a thing as that can posi-
bly, happen there is gross mis-
management or carelessness or lack of
proper system and checks" No Won
der applicants beseech their senators
and representatives to see where their
applications are buried, and no won
der those gentlemen find themselves
mainly occupied as errand boys
for the old veterans; nor that
the commissioner of pensions gets
1rritated with their frequent visits and
demands that their boys cases be made
special, and issues his bull against
their visits. And all because the pen
sion bureau is great unsystematized,
or over-systematized unwieldy circum-
locution office, in which every one is
lost in the inextricable maze and comes
to look with establishment on one who
comes wanting to know, you know"

Beat Rim Van wink,e's sleep.

The New York Times prints very
interesting letter from a man who was
an examiner in the pension bureau
and a member of its board Of appeals,
written in response to an appeal from
a comrade whose application for a pen
sion had hung fire for years, In which
he narrates an instance Of astonishing
delay. In 1862, down in the Chickahom-
my swamp, a young Massachusetts SOL
der lost an arm in battle, and was sent
to Washington hospital. His nurse
procured a blank application for a pen
sion and it was properly filed out and
supported with the proofs and sent to
the department of the interior. The
boy was discharged and went home;
went to work as best he could with his
one remaining arm; married, raised
family, struggled with poverty, while
his application slept in the department
of files in the bureau. Twenty-eight
years later the dependent pension bill
passed, and one day he saw Bill Smith,
enlisted in 1864 In a 100-day regiment
that never left the state, waving a pen
sion certificate as a dependent" Why
should he not also have a pension? So
he applied under the dependent act. In
due time his application reached the
Office, was duly numbered 1,232,57S and
went to the pigeon holes of the Eastern
files division.
But dependent applicants must
state that they have never before ap-
piled for a pension, and this one told Of
the application made in 1862 To the
writer came, in due process of the rou-
tine of red tape, the latest application.
He "got hot in the collar" when he
called for the files and, busting off the
old application, number 5000 and some
thing, found it perfect in every detail.

defendant by the association upon GER
tain conditions. The defendant, in or
der to receive the fund, accepted the
conditions. It cannot now be heard
to say that the association had no title
to or interest in the fund" 1t, there
the fund to the association with its ac-
foundations Of interest. But the sur
prising thing is that theological sem
mary should have so acted as to de-
serve such a frebuke. If the moral
sense is SO dull in such quarters. how
can it be expected to be sharper among
those whose lives are not expressly de-
voted to the ineulcation Of morals?

Lax noraIs in Strange Quarters

1t indicates strange laXity of con-
scientiousness when q court has to
read to a theological seminary a lesson
in common honesty. And yet this is
what New York court has had to do
The associated alumni of a seminary
established fund with which to found
professorship of the evidences Of
revealed religion. When the fund
amounted to $4,000 it was turned over
to the seminary on condition, among
others, that the alumni should name
the professor and that the term of his
holding should be three years. After
a time differences arose as to the terms
of the gift. the alumni claiming the
limitation applied to the purpose, while
the seminary contended that the pro-
fessorship was permanent; and also
that, after the three years, it had the
exclusive right to name the incumbent
The court rejected the claim of the
seminary, and in its opinion admins
tered a deserved rebuke. Honesty
and fair dealing require it says,
when one person receives the property
of another under an agreement that he
will do something with it, that he
should do as he agreed or return the
property to the one from whom he re-
