His Daring Exploit nt Galveston Hare

Rear Admiral james nc. Jouett, who
died during the past year, was one OF
generation OF sen lighters that are
rapidly decreasing, says the New York
Evening Post. '.Fighting Jim Jouett
OF the American Navy as be was pop
uiarly known among naval men. had
long and distinguished career and was
one Of Ehe most popular men in the
service. He entered the navy in 1S4i
and passed through the successive
grades OF the service to the outbreak
Of the civil war. when he first saw ac
tive service as lieutenant on board
the United States frigate Santee.
Lieutenant Jouett's first daring ex-
plot took place on the night of Nov. Z,
1861. rho Santee was lying OF Gal
weston, Tex. and Jouett asked per-
mission to enter the harbor for the
purpose of destroying the steamer Cen
eral Rush. which was being fitted as q
war vessel by the Gonfederates. and

the Santee a few minutes before mid
night with forty men In two launches.
Lieutenant Jouett pulled boldly into
the harbor. The General Rush was
moored mt q wharf seven miles away,
and he had to pass the Royal Yacht to
reach the vessel which he flrst wished
20 capture
All went we'll. and success seemed as-
sured when Lieutenant Jouett's boat
grounded and was run into by the sec
ond launch The noise OF the collision
aroused the crew OF the Royal Yacht.
who Immediately opened fire. Jouett
saw that he could not reach the GEN
erai Rush and at once determined to
board the Royal Yacht. Twice were
the boats hailed. but the little party
paid no heed. The boats came along
side the frigafe, and Carter. .Touett'a
chief gunner, sent a shot from 10
pound howitzer through the side Of the
vessel at the water line and then
boarded her. The recoil of the gun
gent the launch back few boat
lengths, leaving Carter alone to face
the enemy.
With some difticulty Jouett got tlle
launch alongside again and went 10
his gunner's rescue. He barely reached
the deck Of the royal yacht when lie
was wounded In the arm and lung by
bayonet lashed to q pole Ia the hands
of a Confederate. Drawing hts sword,
the lieutenant feIled his assailant and
Jumped into the fight. The retreat was
sounded twice. but Jouett's Sighting
blood was up. and he would not leave.
When finally he did so, the crew Of
the Royal Yacht went with hiin an his
prisoners. After an exciting pull back
the two launches reached the Santee,
the men being In d state Of exhaustion.
The Royal Yacht was totally destroyed.
For this action Jouett was ordered 10
proceed to Washington, 20 that he
might ''be given q command worthy Of
his gallantry."

Satisfied His Curiosity

The curiosity of the natives of wild
countries as to everything belonging
to the traveller often leads to amusing
situations j. w. Wells tells, in Three
Thousand Miles Through Brazil" of
his visit to one settlement where the
only shopkeeper of the place proved
very inquisitiye. He was a frequent
visitor, and would carefully examine
the few belongings of the traveller. His
curiosity was finally punished in very
funny manner.
On one of his Wits, writes Mr.. Wells,
he found my bottle of spirits of ammo
MIA on the table, and seeing 1t was
something he had not hitherto inspect
ed he naturally laid hold of it, and
asked of me, What is this?'

n perhaps unworthy satisfaction |

midst of the lilies. He reaped a reward
in the lowering of the parasol and a
companionable face smiled upon him
as the owner proceeded to tuck up the
ruftles preparatory to plucking from
the water the brown stemmed lilies.
But even before the first flower was
obtained the catastrophe happened.
A great, uglylooking green dragon
fly rose loudly buzzing from the flow
ers, directly under the side of the
boat and, perceiving the gently sway
ing fluffiness above the canoe, and per-
haps deceived into thinking it new
mass of bloom yet unexplored, dived
at once In it's direction and succeeded
in alighting with a moments dispa tch
directly under a pink chin, with the
rough wings brushing a dimpled
throat
1t was all over In a minute. A
startled cry of feminine terror, panic
stricken spring for the other side of
the canoe and John found himself
knee-deep in black, Shiny mud, with a
bedraggled and dripping little figure
weeping Historically upon his shout

his reach.

A white face of establishment turned
up to his. And, for heavens sake,

fist stole up and dragged off the cling
ing mass of slime and dropped it with
a shudder.
"Now, Millicent will you marry
me?" Not till then did the face show
any comprehension of the words being
spoken. Then fash of color appeared

ulous little sob escaped from the
trembling lips as, burying her face

Lord Lyons. English minister al
Washington during the Civil War, and
afterward ambassador to France, was q
diplomatist TO the core. He was ex-
ceedingly tactful in action, and had the
rare art of keeping his own counsel.
When Sir Edward Blount called upon
him one day at the embassy in Paris,
he found that a well-known Journalist
had preceded him. The visitor was lay
ing down the law in a loud tone, and
when, after his departure, Sir Edward
was received, he took the liberty of say
ing:

When she has waltzed her happy fill

Then, at the last, she comes to me.
And she is all my own-to keep!

Now I'm the to-be-envied chap!

To have a sweetheart for a wife?

you can readily imagine how charm
like that would take down in a coun-

fell to those little bone charms all in

They absolutely and implicitly be-

would render them invisible, and for
months the darkies down our way
provided with these charms have been
attempting to help, themselves to all

charms screened them from the vision
of men. 1t took long time, and not a
