Earracut,s Later Years.

The fifty years of service which pa-
vid Glasgow Farragut had seen when
the Civil War began had matured his
powers without impairing his mental or
physical vigor. The admiral assured
me-" writes Gen. James Grant wilson
in the Criterion. that up to the year
1863 he made Il practice of taking Il
standing jump over the back of chair
on every birthday"
Il never felt old" he added, until
my cd birthday came round. and
did not feel equal to the jump
In another way illustrative of Farra-
CUTS simplicity of character was an III
cident of the annual race of the New
York Yacht Club in 1866. In the course
of that day number of ladies insisted
upon his telling the story of his being
lashed to the rigging of the Hartford.
in the Battle of Mobile Bay.

noise was made about that. but it was
not rs people told it. l had gone up
aloft-to see better-to get above the
smoke of the ships guns. 1t some
times happens that man faints when
wounded. and to insure me against a

Nor did the admiral forget his modes

casion Farragut was invited to dine on
Sunday with an emperor. He declined.
saying simply that it would afford him
very great pleasure TO accept a dinner
invitation for any other day than Sun
day. but he never accepted invitations
for that day.
No honors paid by royalty delighted
the admiral so much as his enthusiastic
reception by the people of the Spanish
island of Minorca in the Mediterranean.

horseshoe with gold nail-were pre-

one of the admiral's ancestors was re-
gent of Aragon, and that his coat of
arms was four stars. an anchor and n

How strange" said Farragut. that

World the right TO assume the four

Spanish ancestors many centuries
ago.

BOSTON'S PRISON MUSIC.
Regular Rehearsal. and Good Work Of
the Convict Band.

Regular Rehearsa1s and Good Work of
the Convict Band.
Visitors who have fingered in the pub
lie room of the Massachusetts State
prison Have often heard OH Wednes-
day and Friday afternoons the sweet
strains of music floating out through
the grated walls from the spacious cor
ridOr, but few who have never gained
admittance realize that within those
somber confines is an orchestra of con-
victs. led by convict.
The orchestra has been regular
thing in this penal Institution for sew
eral years, and the members enter into
the practice with heart aud soul appar-
emily.
Numbered in the members of this
well-trained band are men from all
walks of life, and some are as accom-
plished in musical training as one usu-
ally hears in orchestras of public the
aters.
In fact. some of the members have
often heard the applause Of admiring
throngs ere they arrived at their pres
ent unfortunate positions.
The Wednesday and Friday practice
is held In the main wing to the right
of the visitors section of the corridor.
and to watch each player intently fol-
lowing the swing of the leaders baton
one would hardly realize that such inu-
sic could emanate from men as have
helped swell the prison rolls ''since man
first penned his fellow man."
Music, as 1t is allowed in this insti-
tuition, is, no doubt. solace to most of
the inmates, says the Boston Globe, and
its diverting influence must be well
come.
On Sunday at the Gospel service the
orchestra adds greatly to the interest
for the prisoners, and, as one of the Off
GERS remarked, ''the music has undoubt-
edly aSled in facilitating the manage
ment Of the inmates"

Under the Prison Floor.

One of the hitherto unwritten stories
Of the Civil War is that of the military
prison on the Dry Tortugas near FlOri-
sentenced by court martial, and was
guarded toward the close of the war
by n detachment under Capt. w. X.
Prentice who relates in McClure's
Magazine some of his experiences at
his lonely post.
One day twenty-four uniforms We're
stolen by one of the prisoners from
the quartermaster's stOrerOOm. 1t was
understood that such theft meant
that twentyfOur of the most desperate
characters among the prisoners, dis
guised as soldiers, expected to pass the
guard some dark night, seize schoon-
er. and escape.
The plan looked very feasible. For
days quiet but careful search was
carried on. No clue could be obtained.
The guard at the postern was doubled.
At last l took into my confidence a
prisoner whose term had expired. He
only asked if certain cell had been
examined. 1t had not. In it six WELL
known desperadoes were confined.
l went to the cell. There We're four
bare stone walls, some iron cots and 4
chair-nO other furniture. All the cells
We're fioored with heavy fiagstOnes laid
in cement. but this one had also good
board floor above the flags. While l
talked with the prisoners on various
subjects. l examined that floor. 1t
seemed solid, and all the cracks We're
filled with dust. But there was one
short piece. Hitching my chair nearer
TO it, l inserted my knife-blade under
that piece. 1t came up. The search
was over.
In an excavation made in the tagging
were the uniforms and much more
cold-chisels, hammers and saws, stolen
from the masOns. and plenty of dirks
made from the chisels and case-knives.

Pirates in Agreement Again.

Even the tiger is for harmony, after
he has had his dinner. and, therefore
there is nothing surprising in the re-
ports that Quay has held out the olive
branch to his former henchman and

have decided to bury their differences
This corresponds to the general rules
of piracy everywhere. The pirate chief
is the man who can hit the hardest and
