EIiznhethan Seamen.

The Elizabethan seaman seems to
have been q rather serious minded
man. There is little OF the happy go
lucky Saturday night sailor about the
men Of Hawkins or Drake Their Off
GERS gave them very Indifferent char
acter. They were a "loose rabble;"
"vagrant. lewd, disorderly;;" "a regi-
ment of common rogues." Raleigh
said that "they so with as great a
grudging to serve in his majesty's ships
as if it were to be slaves in the gall
leys." Perhaps this description was
only meant to apply to the sailors Of
James l, of whom it was written.
II we are to judge from the records
of the voyages of Hawkins, Drake or
the Earl of Cumberland, the tide of
Puritanism was already rising among
them. They accepted the wonders Of
the new world with the unquestioning
faith of children, and most Of its un-
pleasant surprises were attributed to
direct satanic agency. Prayerfully and
powerfully they fought the Spaniard.
who was antichrist and prayerfully
and frugally they inaugurated the
slave trade, which filled their pockets.
When Hawkins, with hold full of ne
groes. encountered bad weather and
the cargo sickened and died, he con-
soled himself with the pious reflection
that 'the Lord would not suffer his
elect to perish" The negroes. not be-
ing of the elect, perished freely.-Nine-
teenth Century.

Hard Work to Get Pensions.

/ am fully aware that the statement
see these pensions paid off seems pre-
posterous. Eight years ago | would
not have made it. but in that length of
time have learned something. When
| first went to Washington as a con-
gressional greenhorn and tenderfoot.
they dill with me what they did with
all tenderfeet and greenhorns-th is.
showed me off to poor and obscure
committees where there was Il great
deal of hard work and scant glory.
Now | rank second among the Demo-
Gratis on the great foreign affairs COM
mittee. which Senator Henry Clay
Heather facetiously denominates the
swagger committee of the house, but it
took me eight years to get up there.
4 congressman has to begin at the foot
of the class and spell up. Therein lies
the wisdom of retaining faithful and
capable representative in congress. In
my first service in congress | was as
signed to the old pensions committee
which had jurisdiction over all pen
sions back of the civil war; that COM
mittee bad jurisdiction over pensions
growing out Of the Revolutionary war
the war of 1912. the Mexican war and
the Indian wars.
| never had studied much about the
matter but ] supposed all the Reyolu-

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

We are informed that several of
our local msthematicians are puz-
cling their brains over the century
question, and some have gotten into
heated discussion over the subject.
The following from the Fredericks.
burg Free Lance appears lucid to us:
THE twentieth century, ammo domiui,
will not have begun until nineteen hun
dred years have been seen and passed
since the birth ofChrist; and full nineteen
hundred years will have not been com.
pieted until midnight of December 3ist.
1900. Agsin--and probably more explicit
still-the year 1 was not completed and
the second begun until 965 days in the
year l were accomplished, which was
at midnight OF December 3Ist, year 1.
80 also the year 100-the second GEN.
fury did not begin until full one hun
ured years had passed, which was Or
midnight of December 31st, year 100.
This OF course is not taking into account
errors 10 the various calendars from time
to time nor the error as TO the birth of
Christ, which occurred chrouologically
in the year 4. b. c."
Another simple illustration pre-
sents itself to our mind as evidence
that we have not yet entered upon
the twentieth century: a collector
of pennies does not begin on his
twentieth dollar until he reaches
1901 pennies, or fractional par. of
apenny in excess of 1900; 1900 pen
MES complete the 18th dollar, but
when he secures another Cor a frac-
ton of it by mills, if there were such
specie) he begins on his twentieth
dollar. If Christ were born in De-
cember Cor April, as some chronicle
gers have it) the year was not con-
summated until 365 days had passed,
when the year 2 began.

Mr.. L., while driving in his buggy
some days ago, attempted to pass an
ox-cart, and collided with the cart,
turning it over and throwing it's oc-
cupants to the ground, but doing no
more damage than demolishing a
cart brake. The buggy and occu pant
escaped with no damage. The cart
driver claimed damages, and Mr.. l..
generously forfeited 25 cents to cover
same.

for the same reason that I expect
the DIR. fayors it-and that is, chat it
will be run by the local politicians.
DR.. Lewis predicts that / will be
fighting Mr.. Jones next year for his
seat In Congress. Well, I haven't
bothered about that yet; that will
depend largely on Mr.. Jones.
The DIR. referred to my congratu-
latlons over the election of two such
temperate, noble, Christian represen-
tatives, and sincerely hopes that
next time my candidate may answer
this description. Well, it was the
redeeming feature Of lot of unholy
work. Perhaps the DIR. may be
my candidate next time, and OF
course he fills the bill If he
should be little short, l have al
ready suggested the camp meeting
and there won't be any difficulty.
The DIR. says l must be consistent
in my political and local option
lights, and until my political and
temperance views coincide J must
not throw stones Well, Dr., l won't
have any more political or local
option fights if you don't force them
on me; and as to my temperance,
haven't bought drop of liquor from
anywhere since local option, and
therefore, have never aided in yiolat-
ing the law. So / think can afford
to throw stones, if | were so disposed
end was sure they wouldn't break the
Dr.'s windows. 70
The DR.. says + have incurred the
lll-wiil of some whose Democracy ]
may do well to initiate. To this
plead earnestly that never intended
to offend any one, and hope / have
not done so. j did not say one word
against the good people of Wheaton
for all of whom | have the kindes,
feelings. | only wanted to touch
up the politicians little. But the
DIR. must be more explicit, and tell
me whose Democracy be wants me tc
initiate before he can expect me to
90 so, as my Democracy as it stands
Though it may not be the kind the
DIR. admires) has been beyond the
suspicion of even those of different
views and has never been questioned
The DIR. says he wants to hear nc
more preaching from me until / learn
"true Democracy at the anxious
bench, where such agitators should
serve till their rebellious spirits are
subdued, and brought to the light of
true Democracy without fear OF
guile" Well, the DIR. was tired
after such a heterogeneous delivery
and stopped without telling me who
my instructor in the slight of true
Democracy without fear, or guile
is to be; and this is very important to
me because fear that it may not be
best to have too much light on all
political instruction, and it might be
well to fear to do some things, and if
L am to get it without guile l will
certainly have to call on the DR..
