gallantry he found that Champe had
died of disease.
The capture of the British general,
Prescott, in July, 1877, was perhaps the
first successful attempt of the kind.
Gen. Prescott commanded the British
forces in Newport, R. l., and went for
the summer to fine house some five
miles out of the CITY, Col. William Bar
ton, knowing this, determined to cap
ture him, if possible, and on July 10.
TIT, with forty-one comrades, rowed
across from Warwick Point, on the
west shore Of Narragansett bay. and
reached the house undiscovered. The
door of the house was burst in by
negro, who used his head as battering
ram; Prescott was asleep and awoke
to find himself a prisoner. He was not
allowed to dress, but in his cloak, with
captor carrying his clothes, was fore
ed to the boat and taken within the
American lines and then to Washing
tons headquarters in New Jersey. He
was exchanged later.
The successful capture of Gen.
Stoughton by Mosby and his rangers
in March, 1868, was the result of
carefully made plan. Mosby, with
twenty-n men, entered Fairfax
court house, passing themselves off as
belonging to the Fifth New York cav

SENATOR CALLS AUDIENCE.
Contained No One of Lesser Rank than
the Vice President.

the Vice President.
There are two ways of looking a,
anything, and the way wit of Wash
dience in the senate, when a southern
senator made speech, was certainly
the most delightful way of defining a
somewhat chilling incident
1t has passed into history that Hon
Wilkinson Call of Florida, though for
three terms a United States senator
and highly honored by his state, did
not make great impression on the
senate as speaker and that he thus
disappointed all those who have the
tradition in their minds that all south
ern statesmen are orators. Senator
Call, it is said, once arose to make a
speech when the senate chamber was
rather empty. AS he spoke the few
members of the senate who were there
filed out to get luncheon. No one re-
manned on the floor to listen to the
speech, but the president Of the senate
still sat in his place, dignifed and
calm. The galleries were also empty,
and the incident became the subject OF
Washington gossip. At dinner party
where a southern politician was a
guest it was asked what he thought Of
the southern senator's audience when
he made his speech in the senate this
morning. Then came a clever answer,
for the southern man said, with a
grave face: 81 thought it very dis
person there Of less rank than the vice
president of the United States. Sat.

The buds and boughs seem praying low.

To share our plenty, bear our dearth,
Remember Thou vast born on earth:

''By every night, when skies are deep,
And solemn stars above us sweep,
Think on Thy nights of earthly sleep;

Where chorng birds sing round US clear,
Think on Thy mortal wakings here
Remember, Lord, and love us.
"By suns that shine with cruel stress,
BY winds that vex us and Cypress,
Remember Thine own WEAKNESS;
Remember, Lord, and love us.
-'By sprngtime days when JOY is rife,
BY winter nights of storm and strife,
Remember Thou hast lived earth's life,

''By all our slow decaying saith
OF doom drawn nearer with each breath,
Think how Thy life went down to death;

So we have heard their pray steal

The morning sun, the evening dew
Wilt Thou not hear US praying, too?
Remember Lord. and love us.
