So sudden had been the occurrence,
that the watch, which had been imme-
diately called on the notice of the boat s
proximity, had mott got on deck when
the strangers boarded; and SO much was
the commander of the bark astOnished
by the whole affair, that he never asked
Captain Pilsbury or his associates if
they were hungry or thirsty. For
three days they had lived on the small
est mOdicum of provisions. The half
pint allowance of water that morning,
out of the three gallons that remained
to the boats crew, had not been con-
sumed, in consequence of the anxiety
created by the appearance of the sail,
nor had any SuStenance been taken.
Captain Pilsbury conversed with Cap
tain Jones until dinner was ready, tax
ing nothing in the meantime but a sim
gle glass of water, for which he asked.
The bark arrived safely in Boston.
Having no suitable garments of any
description, not even shoes and stock
ings, Mr. Pilsbury was compelled to re-
main on board ali night. He then went
to COrnhill, procured proper apparel,
and having put up at hotel where the
eastern people generally congregated,
he found numerous friends, many OF
whom are now dead.
At this point his troubled and event
full career, his wanderings, at least be-
yond the confines of his own, or an
affiliated country, may be said to have
ceased. He bears willing testimony to
the characters of the good and true
whom he has met in all nations, and
is happy that he is able to pay this
tribute to human nature everywhere.
He has been associated with the inhab-
itants Of many nations; he has found
good and kind people in all of them,
and never, in any part of the world,
been without friend.

This concludes Mr.. Pilsbury's seafar-
ing experiences and those who have
read thus far may perhaps be interest
ed in brief account of his later career
He returned to PASSPORT and was can
didate for Representative to the Legis-
lature and lost the election by one vote.
He was then chosen by the legislature
member Of the Executive Council.
In that year he was the regu lar Dem o
cratic nominee for Congress. There
was split in the party, and the boilers
nominated Arson G. Chandler Mr.
Pilsbury ran three times successfully
with plurality of more than one
thousand votes, the law requiring a
majority of the whole; and finally the
Wing candidate, Joseph Z. Noyes sue
ceeded in his election.
MI Pilsbury then went to Ohio with
the intention of engaging in business
there but concluding not to do so, went
to New Orleans, where the firm of j.
w. Zacherie & Co. prevailed upon him
to go to Texas. This was in the days
of the Texas Republic, under the Ad-
ministration of Gen. Lamar. Later
Mr.. Pilsbury was elected to the Texas
Legislature from his county, and on
the expiration of his term was elected
to the Senate. He resigned his seat in
the Senate and was chosen chief justice
of the County Court and judge Of pro-
bate for the County of Brazoria, an
office which he held between two and
three years. He was then reelected to
the Senate and resigned the judgeship
He served as senator one session, and
in the year following proposals were
made for annexation. In 1915 the Re
public of Texas entered the Union of
States. Shortly after the annexation
Mr.. Pilsbury was elected to the Ma
tional House Of Representatives and
subsequently e-elected a member of
the Both Congress.
He remained a resident of Texas
until his death, Nov 23d, 1853, at his
home near New Danville, Rusk Coun
ty.
While in Texas, having been for
many years a widower, he married Miss
Rebecca Carpenter, daughter of Colonel
Joshua Carpenter of Maine She died
only a few years ago at her home in
Houlton, Me.

Judge Boyd, OF N. c., former As
sistant Attorney General who was
in Washington, when the news of
the collapse of the attempt to i'm.
peach the judges of the Supreme
Court of his state was received.
Speaking Of the matter, Judge Boyd
said: "There could have been no
other honest verdict. There was
never any ground for impeachment
in the first place, but the places of
the judges were wanted, and it was
thought that they could be ousted
by impeachment proceedings. What
seems strange to me is that the trial
did not attract more attention. If
there had been an lpeachment of
judges of any other state IN the
Union, there would have been col
umns of the story printed with pic
lures Of the judges, of the Senators
who formed the court, and Of the
principal lawyers in the case. There
were many interesting and even
dramatic features il the trial. "

Both in Canada and in the United

Fewer of them by far were ever in

in Canada, too, they have virtually
disappeared, says the st. Louis Globe

This 1000 buffalOes are all that are
left of the immense herds, number
ing many millions, which roamed over
the plains between the Mississippi
and the Pacific in such numbers as TO
amaze the earlier explorers, and
which were found even east Of the
Alleghanies by the first white settlers
on this continent. Cortez three and
quarters centuries ago, on his
arrival in Mexico, saw images of the
animal among the Indians of that To-
cality, though he probably never met
any of them alive Cabeza de Vacea

river which compelled them to "tie

transcontinental railroads, however
ended the days of the buffaloes. Great
swarms of hunters were carried out
by the railroads across the praiiies
and plains, and vast numbers of the
buffaloes were killed out of sheer
wantonness. Next to the Indian him

KHAKI AS A LIFE pREsERvER.
A Fact That Has Been Demonstrated
In the south African and
China Wars.

In the Century, under the title of
"With the Peking Relief Column" are
printed correspondent notes of the
fighting in China, by Frederick
Palmer. The writer is eloquent on
the advantages of khaki as a uni-
form. He says;
''The accuracy Of the Chinese rife
fire is amazing. l noticed that the
bullets were knocking up the dust in
front Of onr men after theys sprang
over the mud wall (where the writer
was) and charged across the thousand
yards between the mud wall and their
present position. That is always
proof of good shooting. l suppose
that the Welsh fusileers must bridge
the break in the line where l can see
no blue points. They are in full
khaki. Our marines and the Ninth
the Ninth, so far as / can learn, is in
a cul-de-sac on the other side of the
road from the marines-are wearing
their blue shirts. theoretically, all
our regiments in the Philippines are
in full khaki. Virtually, none is ex-
cept those on police duty in the
towns. For campaigning, both men
and officers prefer the blue woolen
shirt, WHICH absorbs perspiration IL
the daytime and keeps off the chill
and vapors at night.) The British blue
jackets are completely in blue, with
white straw hats. The French ma.
rine infantry is i'm blue, with white
helmets. The Russians in their white
blouses, with the average field as q
background, are as distinct as the
weeks washing on the line. As foi
the Japanese, the white crowns OF
their caps make so many bull's-eye'
as the little fellows bend to the
double in a charge; and the Japs are
so cleanly that, unlike the Russians
they never allow their white to bI
soiled and become natural khaki.
The advance this morning, wher
every man except the fusileer was q
moving target, II viewed by the hom,
STATS, would be sufficient to haster
the adoption Of khaki by all the arm
les of the world After South Africa
one would expect at least an attempt
to discolor white helmets; but every
army gets its reforms out of it's owl
experience. !"

1REE PLANNING

Two bills have passed the House
at Harrisburg to third reading re.
loting to tree planting. One author
ICES borough authorities to require
property owners on public streets TO
plant trees in front of their property
and the othe other RENTS one dollar
of road tax for every two trees
planted by land owners along the
country roads. There seems to be
considerable interest manifested
among the members and it is likely
both bills will become laws. No
particular kinds of trees are specified
but those wishing to secure the best
results would no doubt plant such
hardy trees as naples or ash and in
the country the chestnut would af-
ford both shade and profit though
fruit trees might also be planted.
These are both good laws and while
our borough in general is we'll shad.
ed there are several places where
trees could be placed to advantage.
Along the country roads they would
afford the double purpose of shade
and of making the landscape more
beautiful. We hope both bills will
become laws.
