Another Renaissance of the Civil Nur
70 the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The first attack on Fort Sumter by
our navy was made mostly by our fleet
of iron-clads under command of Admi-
raj Dupont, who ran the fleet up tC
about four or five hundred yards of the
fort, while Commander Rhind in the
Keolluk and John Rodgers in the Wee
haWken drew in close under the walls
of the fertilization, where the Keokuk
was riddled and sank within an hour
and while the fort was badly shattered
its teeth were not all drawn when our
fleet was obliged to haul off for repairs
count the cost and report to the navy
department, where Dupont was severe
ly criticised on the charge Of rashness,
was recalled and superseded by Admit
raj Dahlgren, who had been in the
navy yard for several years making the
Dahlgren gun. He, perhaps, took the
other extreme from Dupont by stand
ing the fleet off at comparatively safe
distance. The comparison is thus set
off by Private Miles O'Reilly in the fol-
lowing lines: w. l.. e.
THE ARMY TO THE IRON-CLADS.
Och, Admiral Dahlgren,
1t is aisy to be seen
That ashore so long you've been
You can never toe the mark.
Of your ships you seem as chary
AS my little blue-eyed Mary
OF her ver-winged canary
Or her crockery Noah's ark.
Ills no harm you seem to think
That upon distinctions brink
He Is not the boy to shrink,
Our gallant Gilmore stands
Houlding hard his threatened lines
Pushing far his saps and mines,
While you, knowing his designs,
Idly sit with folded hands.
Give us back our own Dupont
Ramon Rodgers, too we want;
Send the say-dogs to the front
Who have fought the fight before.
John Rodgers, Dhrayton, Rhind,
Ammen grim, but always kind;
Aye, and Worden, though half blind,
Let us have their lead once more.
Woes me, George Rodgers lies
Wild dimmed and dhreamless eyes;
He has airly won the prize
Of the striped and starry shroud,
While some fought shy away,
He pushed far into the fray
AS If ayger thus to say
All the lads have not been cowed.
Staunch Fairfax and thrue Downs
Born layguerses of towns,
mo chance here of laurel crowns,
Thus it seems / hear you sighin'.
Twas not always so you say,
When Dupont in every fray
Led the line and cleared the way
Wild his broad blue pennon flynn.
Och Gideon, king of men,
Take Dahlgren home again,
And let Fultons glowing pen
All his high achievements blazon;
For Fulton, Gideon mine,
Can paint pictures line by line,
All of that precise design
You and Fox delight to gaze on.
Dear Uncle Gideon, oh,
Let Dahleren homeward CO.
He's a shmart man as we know,
And the guns he makes are shrinking;
Keep him always on the make;
Do, Gid, for PHYS sake,
But the warriors lead to take,
Let us have Dupont the Viking.

BATTLE WITH CHINESE.
Continued From First Page.

from Japanese sources that 1900 for
eigners have been maSsacred at Tien
Tsin. Official advlces cabled from Chez
Foo state that the American consulate
at Tien Tsin was destroyed by the
Chinese on Monday. June IS, and that
all foreign concessions have been seri-
ously damaged after a bombardment
lasting thirty hours.
This news is received here and is
confirmed by official dispatches to the
japanese legation ut Berlin and by a
message from Admiral Kempff TO the
navy department at Washington, and
repeated TO the London papers by their
New York correspondents.
1t appears from the dispatches sent
by boat from Taku to Chez Foo that
the Boxers cast lot with the Chinese
regular troops and vigorously lombard
ed Tien Tsin, which was defended by
4 foreign garrison of from 5000 to B.
800 troops. mostly Russians. Several
parts of the town occupied by the
natives had been fired, and fierce. con-
tinuous fighting had been in progress
for at least thirty-siX hours.
The belief that the Chinese are using
big guns on the town makes the Situa-
tion at Tien Tsin all the more serious.
In the meantime the powers are mass
ing a relief force at Taku, thirty miles
away, ana as soon as III Is 1ully or
ganiZed it will march on Tien Tsin.
a number of field guns and pieces of
heavy artillery-mOstly taken from the
warshipS-are to be transported to
Tien Tsin. so that the European force
can reply to the Chinese heavy fire eff
fectively.
The English consulate at Shanghai
is said to have received from intiuen-
tial natives reports of tragedy in
the palace at Picking, though precisely
what is not defined. The cOnsuls at
Shanghai still believe the foreign min
listers at Picking safe, although Japan
csc reports received at Shanghai allege
that up to June II 100 foreigners had
bcen killed in PekinC.

Havana, June 23.-The postal frauds
have rather Swamped the scandal eX-
listing in the university. which has been
the milking ground for some of the
beSt-known men in Cuba, who, as I'M
der professors. received $4,000 a year
each. There were seventy-two of these
professors and twenty-four assistants,
some of them having no classes at all
and others only one or two students.
Many of the professors drew Their gov
eminent salaries.
When this was called to General
Woods attention he Immediately in
stituted reforms which resulted in cut
ting down the list TO forty-siX. includ-
ing assistants. which is enough. cOnsid
ering there are only $50 students. For
instance, instruction in Greek was di
Yided into three parts-histOry, gram
mer and literature. 1t is now com
bined under one professor OF Greek.

TALES OF THE TOWN

A prominent county official has
some nice cherry trees in his yard.
Boys in the neighborhood noticed that
the cherries were ripe. They con-
Guided TO have some, jumped over
the fence, and were just beginning To
feel happy when the owner made his
appearance and drove them away.
| When the owner of the cherries re-
turned from the chase he found q
bicycle in the yard. He waited for
developments. Very soon couple OF
the boys returned to claim the wheel
They were told that when they had
paid for the damage they did they
could have it. They departed crest
fallen. Up to the latest reports they
had not gotten the wheel.
One of the hotels has a mum Der of
artificial plants scattered about the
office corridor. Several bell boys are
employed, and hardly a day passes
that there is not a change in this de-
partment.
1t takes a green one." as the old
heads call him, some little time to
.scatch on" and while he is learning
he is made to suffer all sorts of ridi-
cule at the hands of the other boys.
One lad who was given a posi-
sition as bell boy seemed particularly
am bilious to learn quickly. He was
continually asking his fellows what to
do and how to do certain things.
He was informed that it was part
of his work every afternoon to water
the Office flowers. And by all means
he should use ice water. He was told
where he could find the pitcher and
the water and the ice. He accepted
the instructions in good faith and
was in the act Of pouring the chilly
water into the boxes holding the arti-
fetal plants when the clerk called a
halt on him. Now the boy does not
take his orders from the other bell
boys.
There was an interesting trial held
few days ago which was not put
down on the court record. 1t oc-
Cured in what is called the bull
PEN of the county Jail. Here the
prisoners assemble to swap stories
and spit tobacco Juice. One Cracraft,
who was arrested for taking bicycle,
was introduced to all the WORTHLESS.
Some one made the discovery that he
had Is cents, and Immediately the
kangaroo" court was convened. The
judge was a black "gemman. After
hearing all the evidence he declared
that the defendant should be fined Is
cents. The defendant paid.
