The Captain who Loses a Ship.

1t is the custom with some ship owners
never to give new berth to captain who
has lost ship. 1t seems cold blooded,
but the rule is based on reason, as it is
claimed that shipmaster who has lost a
vessel is liable to have his nerve affected
ever after, and if such is the case he is
unfit to exercise the promptness and deci-
sion required in moments of emergency.
But it is indeed remarkable how luck, or
fate. or chance, plays with the careers
even of the tried and experienced navi-
gators Some years ago Capt. Jefferson
! Maury-who had grown gray in the ser
vice of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. and
who was the commodore of their fleet
lost his fine steamer, the City of Toxic,
when entering the hal Dor of Y Yokohama.
H had sailed across the Pacific seas
for third of a century without hay
inc an accident. He was making his
last voyage preparatory to an honorable
retirement. Yet on that last passage he

A MARVELLOUS RECORD.

War critics, both before and since the declaration of hostilities, have been not numerous, but of consider able number. There is one class who may be termed general kickers. They criticise anything and every thing which has been done, for not belng done in a different way, and the things which in their opinion should have been done, but have been left undone, are many. Others again have presumed to criticise the actions of those in command of the army aud navy. If these critics, one and all, will stop and consider what has been accomplished they will find tbe record 8 most remarkable one and one without a parallel in his tory. When war was declared we had an army of not more than twen- ty thousani effective men. While our navy was in splendid condition in every other respect it was woe fully deficient in the matter of ann intuition.
 An army of l25,0OO volunteers has been armed and equipped, while un- der a second call 75,0O0 more are now almost in readiness 10 take the field. Hospitals on land aud hos pital ships on water have been fitted up, ocean passenger steamers have been converted into effective war ships
 Two of the enemy's fleets, consist ing of about twenty of her best yes sells, have been sunk and all on board either killed, wounded or captured. On land all of eastern Cuba has been subjugated and an army of 5000 men has been made prisoners of war. The campaign has been conducted in such a manner, too, that our total list of killed amounts to less than 300, while our total list of killed and wounded aggregates only about l,500. or less than that of the enemy in one naval engagement. These results are a marvellous revelation to the people of the old world. The wonderful resources of our people and our ability to meet such an emergency with such success is something never dreamed of by them.

PRIZE MONEY FOR OUR FLEET

1t is stated that the prize money won by Sampsou's fleet, in the destruction of Cervera's squadron, amounts to $I70,O00, which will he d vided among the officers and men. The law providing for this is as follows:
 "A bounty shall be paid by the United States for each person on board any ship or vessel of war be- longing to an enemy at the con- mencement of an engagement which is sunk or otherwise destroyed in such engagement by any ship or vessel belonging to the United States OF which 1t may be necessary to destroy in consequence of injuries sustained in action, of $l00 if the enemy vessel was Of inferior force, aud $200 if of equal or superior force; to be divided among the off, cers and crew in the same manner as prize money.n
 A Washington telegram. com menting on the subject, says: If there were 17O0 men on Cervera's ships, which presented force in ferior to the Americans, the bounty will be somewhat more than Sl70,- 000, which is divided in the same manner as prize money-one. tweri- tieth to the commanding officer of the fleet. one-fftieth to the com manding officer of a division of the feet. ona one-hundredth to the fleet captain, and one-tenth of each yes sells share to the captain of that vessel, the remainder being appor- toned to ali other officers and men in proportion to their pay. As the law provides that all vessels within sigual distance of the action, and in condition to render aid share in the prize money, it is likely that most of the feet will profit by the Span- ish defeat.
 , In the case of the torpepo boat destroyers, Furor and Pluton, which were knocked to pieces by the con- verted yacht, Corsair, the superior foFce was obviously on the Spanish s,de, therefore, the bounty will be $200 per capita for those on board the destroyers. Probably the com plement of the two ships was one hundred and thirty-five men, making that bounty $27,OOO.

An American woman who crossed the ocean not long ago was much puzzled by the conduct of her "sta. ble companion.

Each day, too, the American woman consented to 80 absentinR herself. though she wondered much what the stable companion could be up to with such regularity.

ROMANCE OF A SOLDIER.
His Father Reaches Phenix the Day of His Departure With Fortune
 of S6o, 900 For Him.

There is tinge of romance con- nected with the life of one oi the volunteers at Whipple. He enlisted at Phenix, and is known as Porterie, being the step son of Constable Porterie. His real name, however, is Shea, and the story of Lis life as told by the Phenix Gazette, is as follows:
 "James Shea and his wife parted about Is years ago, having seen nothing of each other all this time, but communicated once in a while over business matters. When they parted they had a child some five years old. Mrs. Shea took the child. He heard later that the boy was dead. Mrs. Shea came to Phenix, and was married to Joe Porterie, now ex-deputy sheriff, the boy taking the new name. They lived peace, ably together, the boy grew into manhood, and with the last call for volunteers enlisted and is now at Whipple Barracks
 "Mr. Shea began wandering, and went through Mexico, where he be- came interested in mines, and soon became wealthy. He vas married to a beautiful Spanish lady some twelve years ago, and after living in several parts of Mexico. finally set tied in Bisbee.
 "Mr. Shea is now over 90 and the second Mrs. Shea about 8 years of age. Through some means the father heard of his son, whom he thought dead, and came at once to Phenix to learn that the boy had left only the day before as a soldier to fight for his country.
 "Mr. Shea is very anxious to have his boy with him, and is making every effort to secure his discharge, The father states that as soon as the boy comes to him he will have at least $60,000 at his disposal
