MONEY FOR SEA CAPTURE.
BonaDzas for Officers and Crews of
BIockades in Civil War.
From the Boston Journal

From the Boston Journal.
In the civil war many of the Union
cruisers and blockaders made captures
which enriched their officers and gave
real bonanzas to their crews. Thus, the
gunboat Amanda, when she captured
the Swan, made $202, ,29S available for
distribution. The gunboat Augusta
netted a round 100000 by making a
prize of the British blockade runner
Princess Royal; the brig cambridge
also took hand in the capture Of the
Swan, when $2O2. .29S was set aside for
distribution. The cruiser Bienville
earned 100000 for her lucky officers
and crew in the capture of the Stettin
and $15O,O0O more in the capture of the
Patras; the frigate Brooklyn, one Of
Farraguts fighting fleet, got Sl67 ,404
for catching the blockade runner Mag
nola the sloop-of-war Canandaigua
caught $l47,774 with the slippery Chero-
kee; the gunbOat Cimerone was in
great luck with her $45O0OO prize At
Atlanta; the Crcassian, a captured
blockade runner herself, earned a cool
quarter of million when with Uncle
Sans bluejackets on deck she overlook
and seized the Minna.
The sloop-Of-war Cumberland, that
Inflated but glorious ship, which after
ward fell first victim to the Merri-
mac, was one Of the six craft which
shared the capture of the $23900 Hia-
watha. The smart little gunboat Flam-
beau took one 100000 prize. The gum
boat Huntsville shared in the $l67 900
Magnolia; the Iron Age captured $780,
600 in the Robert r. Lee; the Iroquois
a share Of 100000 in the Merrimac.
The Magnolia took the Memphis, which,
ship and cargo, made $5l0,9l5 available
for distribution.
The Mercedita, now an ungainly coal
barge out Of Boston, shared in the $751;
600 distribution due from the Magnolia
as her Confederate prize, The double
ender OctoTora netted 1890, 900 when she
brought the Victoria under her guns;
the great swift side wheeler the
Quaker City, one of the best ships
which the Union navy absorbed from
the merchant marine, earned $l3S,000 in
the capture Of the Amy Warwick, $780,
600 in the Douro and a share of $l45,-
900 in the Lily; the Rhode Island, an
other fast side-wheeler merchant
cruiser, took 1890, 26i out of the block
ade runner Cronstadt. There We're few
richer prize funds than the 1885, 900
which the r. r. Cuyler, another mer-
chant cruiser, captured in the Kate
Dale.
The Santiago de Cuba, still another
famous merchant fighting ship, and
one of the fastest of the Union cruisers,
was an especial terror to our block
ade running British brethren. She took
about a dozen prizes. The richest OF
them We're the s136O00 Columbia, the

as much as $50 per month to their
wages. A fireman's monthly pay is
about S35, a quarter-master gets about
the same, according to his class, and
a seaman s26 so it can easily be COM
puted how much he increases his sal
ary. Many of these men have been
been known to leave a vessel at the
end Of a three years cruise with from
$500 to $1,S00 clear money. one quar-
termaster was paid off from the cruiser
San Francisco a few years ago with
$4,000 representing a clear saving of
81 900 per year.

An Electrical Display.

Superintendent Myers and the officials
OF the Electric Light Company arc pre-
pairing plans for the rewriting and
lighting OF Yannes' opera house for the
evening OF December 80, the date of the
tenth annual ball of the Tigers Athletic
Club. If the intentions of the club can
oe carried out, Freeland people on that
date will witness the greatest electrical
display ever seen in northeastern Penn
sylvania. For some time past the mem
bers OF the organization have been work
ing to give the people something original
on the occasion OF their tenth ball, and
in calling electricity to their aid it is
believed they have solved the problem.
The cost of conducting an Illuminated
ball is considerable, but this feature is
seldom allowed to stand in the way
when the club decides to try new ideas.

Mr.. Curley, who was the prosecutor and
the star witness for the commonwealth,
testified that the defendants and him
self had divided $4O0 of the funds of
the district which had been drawn on
account of the heating and ventilation
plant which had been placed in one of
the schools. Both Joyce and Healey,
the two defendants, testified in their own
behalf and made general denial OF
everything. They emphatically denied
any division of the $4OO between them
and Curley in Joyce's saloon, as Curley
had testified

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Often an excuse is worse than the
offense.
Life after all is ',ut big bundle of
little things.
Responsibility that carries no weight
is not responsible.
Genius produces the Inventions,
while talent applies them.
No artist, however talented, has sue
ceeded in painting fragrant flower.
Money cannot buy an ounce of love,
but it will purchase tons Of sympathy.
When a man gets in a hole he is al
ways willing to be Cone by as he should
do.
When a woman ,aches certain age
there is no longer any uncertainty
about it.
It's not what the player does in a
baseball game, but what the umpire
says that counts.
There is peculiar fascination about
many things whose origin is attributed
to his satanical majesty.
1t never makes much difference to a
woman where a man halls from, just
so she is permitted to reign over him.

No silent Clocks for Them.

Pearson's Weekly: A clock manu-
facturer of BirminFi lam found that a
rival was doing a large trade in cheap
clocks sent out to the wilds of Africa.
He got hold Of a sample clock, and,
finding that there was heavy profit in
the enterprise, invested large sum of
money in making a still better clock,
thousands of which %eIe shipped to
the same market.
Strange to say, sales were slow,
while his rival, turning out a cheaper
and far less accurate timepiece, was
selling all he could make. Inyestiga-
ton showed the cause.
Savages like noise. The clocks made
by the original exporter had particu-
larly loud and aggressive tick; his imi-
tator made better clock, but 1t was
almost noiseless, and the savages
would have none of it. The remedy
was simple. The next shipment of
clocks to the Guinea coast licked more
loudly than anything previously heard
there, and all went well.

But she looms a perfect paragon con-

Her mind has never waded through the

Her cheeks have never crimsoned other

She isn't versed in subtle ways and

But she's queen of all creation when
