4 YAcHT1Na ExPERrENcE.
An Abandoned Boat at Sea Belongs to
the Finder

His yachting experience was OF
much benefit to Mr. Bennett, as an
incident viii show.
whats the news this evening"
asked Mr.. Bennett one night, drop
ping into the city room.
"a National liner has just arrived
with the captain, crew and passen-
gers of IAmerique-nobody lost"
"What are the circumstances" he
asked, with animation.
"The French boat became unman-
ageable; the engines broke down;
Capt. Lamaria hoisted distress sig
mails, and, when the British steamer
came along, abandoned his ship.
Capt. Queen, Of the British boat, put
a prize crew on the derelict. Then
the Frenchman wanted to return to
his ship and resume command; but
the Britisher wouldn't let him. So
Frenchy is hot mad and swears he
will have the Britisher's commission
taken from him"
Mr.. Bennett listened attenjively,
finally exclaiming:
"That's good! Now, what do you
say? Did the Englishman do right
in stopping Lamaria's return? VIII
he be sustained?"
The city editor took an even
chance and boldly said:
capt. Queens undoubtedly right;
the sea belongs to no man, and prop
erty once abandoned thereon goes to
the finder"
"You are right" promptly added
Mr.. Bennett. 'Ill tell you why I
know"-and he told the following
Characteristic story:
81 had a party of friends on the
Dauntless. Becalmed off the Isle of
Wight, we drifted on a bar. Tidewas
at the ebb, and we we're stuck for
several hours. Somebody suggested
that we could kill snipe ashore; and,
taking guns, we left the yacht in the
cutter. had a steward who thought
a great deal of me and wanted to do
me real service. He saw tug COM
ing up the Solent, called her, took a
line, and had my boat pulled off into
deep water. The captain of the tug
at once libeled the yacht for salvage,
and the good intentions of my stew
ard cost me $1,000! That's why
know your opinion is correct. The
Herald must stand by the Britisher,
because he is in the right. Tell lie
vein l want him to say this, "-anC
he outlined the leading editorial for
the next morning Parsons Maya

DIcKENs, YOUNGEST soN.
Was well-Kuown and Well Liked in New
South Wales.

South Wales.
Early this year there died at Mo
rec, in New South Wales, Mr.. Edward
Bulwer Lytton Dickens, the tenth
child and youngest son Of Charles
Dickens, the great novelist, says the
London Mail.
The late Mr.. Edward Dickens was
born on March 10, 1852, the year in
which ''Bleak House" was written.
He bore when child the extraordi-
nary nickname Of Plornishghenter."
Dickens was devoted to his 'little
Benjamin" In November, 1853,
writing to his sister-in-law, Miss Ho-
garth, he said: "The Plornishghent-
er is evidently the greatest, nOblest,
finest, cleverest, brightest and most
brilliant Of boys"
In 1856 he wrote to Mrs. Watson:
81 think Of inserting an advertise
ment in the Times offering to submit
the Plornishghenter to public com
petition, and to receive 100000 if
such another can be found, land to
pay five pounds (my fortune) if he
can"
In 1868 the late Mr.. Edward Dick
ems went out to New South Wales
to join his elder brother, Mr.. Alfred
Tennyson Dickens. The parting let
ter from his father gives a touching
insight into the domestic character
of Charles Dickens.
Il need not tell you," he wrote,
chat love you dearly, and am very,
very sorry in my heart to part with
you. But this life is half made up of
partings, and these pains must be
borne.
Il exhort you to persevere in a
thorough determination to do what
ever you have to do as well as YOU can
do it. 1 was not so old as you are
now when I first had to win my food,
and to doit out of this determination,
and have never slackened it since.
"Never take a mean advantage of
anyone in any transaction, and never
be hard upon people who are in your
power.
81 hope you will always be able in
after life to say you had a kind father.
You cannot show your affection for
him so well or make him so happy as
by doing your duty"
The late Mr.. Edward Dickens was
devoted to his fathers memory. He
was for many years a stock and sta
tion agent at Wilcannia, on the Oar
ling river, where he made many
friends For many years he repre-.
sented this district in the New Soutl
| Wales legislative assembly.
It was when a member Of the as
sembly that he retorted very happily
on a Mr.. Willis, a fellow-membcr
whose criticisms were frequent anC
severe: 81 used to be told that Bar
kis is willin'' but now it is willis is
Barkin'."

consumption. after an illness Of sew

SPEECHES IN CONGRESS.

How Campaign Literature Is Manufac-
tured in the House and Senate
Many senators and representatives
have troubles (which theworld gen
orally knows little. Ofcourse. every
one knows that the delivery Of many
speeches is in order to secure the
ranking privileges which cover the
distribution of the Congressional
Record OF parts of Itbeing desired
to place a certain line of argument
or facts before voters, some one un-
dertakes to present them in a speech
delivered in the senate or house. All
goes alongmerrily, says the Washing
ton Star, until some insistent senator
or representative rises to ask a ques-
ton. The irony of the whole pro-
ceeding of asking questions is in the
fact that not one time in a thousand
does any one ask a question for infor-
nation. The question is asked to
contradict something that has been
said or to inject in that particular
place of a speech some fact or idea
that tends tonullifyits effect. These
questions are frequently so many
blOts on the printed pages. 1t fire.
quently happens that the speakers
replies to these questions will be so
apt and conclusive that the question
er feels like the parrot that realizes
that it had talked too much. He
would gladly withdraw the question
if he could do so, but it is there as a
part Of that speech, making it strong
er in The parts heintended to weaken.

raueau Disturbances
The destructive eruption of the
Grand Soufriere. OF great sulphur
mountain of st. Vincent following
closely upon the terrible outburst of
Mt. Pelee on Martinique. may easily
arouse apprehensions as to the safety
of all the West Indian islands. For
unately, however. says the Philadel-
phia Press, the whole group is not in
the same boat as those that form the
volcanic crescent of which NIartinioue
is the center. The other groups be-
long to different geological periods
and are not volcanic.
The Greater Antilles. for instance.
are free from volcanic potentialitics
Arranged along an axis that runs
practically east and west they repre-
sent a geologic stability that runs
back to very early periods. The
Lesser Antilles. however. repre-
sent amuch less stable state of things
and the inner line of this rroup is
practically nothing more than a sue
cession of volcanic cones. The line

guarding against these thefts in the
