probably the only original copy now
in existence. Mr.. Erwin has made in
quiries of historical societies and
searched diligently during the worlds
fair for another book like the one in
his possession, but without avail. The
book bears the date Of Feb. IA, 1776,
and was sold by w. & T. Bradford,

ed in ancient style on rough, heavy pa
per, now yellow with age and with
ragged edges. The leaves are held to-
gether by bit of stout Irvine. A re-
ward Of several hundred pounds ster-
ling was offered by King George for
the head of either the author or the
publisher. 1t was during the war OF
the rebellion that the book came into
Mr.. Ervin's possession. Mr. Erwin was
the first man 10 enlist in the First Iowa
cavalry and went through the war as
n bugler in troop G.. For some time
his company was engaged in fighting
Bill Quantrell's guerrillas, with head
quarters at Sedalia, Mo. Quantrell
had taken possession of a small and al
most deserted town in the vicinity of
Sedalia and after a short but sharp
engagement with troop G was forced
TO retreat. Before doing so his men
sacked the town, and every book or
document Of any value that they could
not carry off was piled in heap before
a warehouse and fired just before the
retreat. While running his sword
through the debris Mr.. Erwin poked
out the book, which was tightly packed
among some papers and unframed. 1t

Daises, PrImroses, Carnations, voIets and
Others Adopted as Symbols.
1t is interesting to note the various
emblems adopted by parties in various
countries. Probably the most popular
emblem nowadays is the primrose of
April 10. On the day of ParnelPs
death his followers wear a sprig of ivy,
Jacobites sport oak leaves on Royal
Oak day, May 20, and ever since the
birthday of James ILL.,, in 1858, they
have worn white roses on June 10.
Red carnations are also a Jacobite en-
blem. In France Orleanists wear white
daisies, and followers of the house of
Bourbon ('les Blancs d'Espange) wear
white carnations. The violet was the
Bonapartist emblem, and many duels
were fought over the little blue flower
Admirers OF General Boulanger used
to wear a red carnation always in their
buttonholes. Nowadays anti-Semites
in Algeria have taken the cornnower
as their badge, but in Austria this party
always wears a white carnation. The
cornflower was the favorite flower of
the old Emperor of Germany, and loyal
Germans used to wear punches OF 1t
in his honor. White daisies are the
fower Of the queen of Italy (Margue-
rite of Savoy, and when she goes to

A TORPEDO BOAT TRAGEDY.
A Sad Illustration of the Danger of
This Service.

A Sad Illustration of the Danger of
This Service.
The Union squadron investing
Charleston during the civil war was
drawing closer and closer TO the DOOM
closest inshore was the Housatonic,
and that vessel was selected as the
torpedo boats victim. The Portland
Transcript tells the tragic story: The
evening of Feb. II, 1865, closed in raw
and foggy. At o'clock Capt. Corison
gave the command and the boat drop
ped down the river. AS the clocks
were striking the half hour in the city
the little craft pulled over the bar.
Noiselessly she glided through the
water, guided by the lights on the
Housatonic, for which she headed. So
heavy was the fog that she escaped
the notice of the sentries. At quar-
ter to nine she lay directly in front
Of the Housatonic, at distance Of five
hundred yards. She was running faster
now, and little farther on she began
to submerge. Two hundred yards more
and she disappeared. Five minutes
later there was a dull roar, and the
water around the Housatonic boiled
like caldron. The noble ship gave
a mighty upward heave and then be-
gan to settle. Ensign Hazleton and
four sailors who were below persisted,
but fortunately for the rest of the crew
the water was shallow and they saved
themselves by climbing into the rig
ging. The vessel was total loss, but
the submarine torpedo boat was no.
where to be found. Two years after
the war, when the wreckage was being
removed from Charleston harbor, the
Housatonic was raised. In her hull
there was a CHASTITY wound, inflicted
by the torpedo, and in that hole was
the torpedo boat with every man on
board still at his post, where he had
died years before The little boat had
torn a big hole in the cruiser, through
which the water had poured in such a
volume that the torpedo boat was
drawn into II. And there its crew died
of suffocation, in the grasp of the en-
envy which they had destroyed.

CAPT. RICHARD WAINWRIGHT.
Wainwright. When the Maine was
blown up in the harbor Of Havana
Wainwright stood on the quarterback
beside Capt. Sigsbee and supervised
the lowering of such boats as were not
destroyed. From that day he has been
spelling for fight with the Spaniards.
He remained with the wreck from the
night of the explosion, Feb. Is, until
he hauled down the tattered flag with
his own hands April 5, and was the
sole surviving officer of the Maine left
in Havana. Strictly speaking, he was
never in Havana, for he refused to set
his foot on the island OF Cuba while
the work of investigating the explosion
was In progress. At the conclusion OF
the investigation Wainwright was or
dered to Washington for staff duty in
the navy department. The transfer
was anything but to his liking. He
confided to his friends that he wanted
"a good little vessel with some ca
pable guns, and a crack at the enemy
on something like even terms" When
he was assigned to the command Of the
Gloucester he was supremely happy
and from that day he has been max
ing record for himself, his crew and
vessel
