GREAT DONATIONS.

From the New York Press.
The statement by E. Spencer Pratt
that he has found in the archives of
the French Foreign Office minute de-
tails of the gift of what we call the
Louisiana Purchase by Louis XIV. OF
France to his cousin, the King of
Spain, is highly interesting. The fact
of the gift, however, is not news, as
schoolboys know that France coded
louisiana to Spain on Nov. 3, 1852,
and at the same time coded to England
all her possessions east of the Missis-
sippi river except the island of New
Orleans. The Mississippi was made
free to both nations. Thirty-eight
years later Louisiana was retroceded
to France by the King of Spain at the
secret treaty of Ildefonso, and within
three years the great territory was
sold by Napoleon Bonaparte to the
United States for $4,000, 900 francs.
Louis XIV. granted all the trading
rights in the province of louisiana
to Sieur Anthony Crozat, or Crozart,
in 1712, for a period of twelve years
(some historians say fifteen). Crozart
failing to make a fortune surrendered
the privilege i'm I'M. The same rights
then granted to the company of the
West company of the Indies) for
twenty-five years, and coded back to
France at the end of fourteen years
Q73D. 1t was this company that sent
out from France cargo of girls, each
provided with a small casket of wear
ing apparel. They became known as
"Fillies a la Cassette," or casket girls.
The most interesting announcement
by Mr.. Pratt is that Louis XIV. offer
ed Louisiana as a present to England
before giving the province to Spain,
and that England refused it.
Cleopatra received Egypt as a pres
ent from Julius Caesar. Lucullus,
Sulla and Pompey each gave away
half a dozen kingdoms. Antony gave
the little kingdom of Judea to Herod.
One of the excellent stories of the
past is that the Emperor Constantine
gave Rome and all Italy to Pope Syl-
vester, who cured him of leprosy.
King John, called Lakeland, being ex-
communicated by Pope Innocent III,
gave to that Pope and his successors
the kingdom of Ireland and England.
The deed reads: mot constrained with
fear, but with my full consent and
the advice of my barons, for the re-
mission of my sins against God and
the Church, 1 resign England and Ire
land to God, St Peter, ST. Paul and
our lord, the Pope Innocent, and to
his successors in the apostolic chair"
Julius II gave the States of King
Louis XII to the Emperor Macmillan.
Sixtus V, Gregory XIV and Clement
VIII were ready to make a present
of France to whomsoeVer Philip II
would have chosen for the husband
of his daughter, Clara Eugenia. Alex
ander vi presented the East and West
Indies to Spain and Portugal, which
was like giving almost all the earth.
Speaking of the gift of England and
Ireland by King John: He declared
himself the Pope's farmer, or tenant,
and paid down in cold cash $40, 900, with
a promise to pay $4,000 more every
vance and stood to loose all in the
event of failure to meet his INSTALL
ments. 1t Is said that the Popes le-
gate, Pandulph, departed with the
money and forgot to remove the ex-
communication.

WITH EGGS AT 4OC.

Albany Daily Herald: With eggs
worth 40 cents a dozen, who can blame
old Speck if she moves about the barn
yard with a strut? The hens of the
land have been working consistently
and persistently, in season and out of
season, ever since the life of the ma
ton began, and have not struck or
even agtated the labor question when
eggs were worth no more than 10 or is
cents a dozen. Forty cents is high
water mark in this part of the coun-
try, but it is not anticipated that the
advanced price will have the effect of
causing shortage of cake and eggnog
on Christmas and New Year.

POWERS WAS DROWNED.

Fort Pierce News: Alfred N. Pow
ers, an old man, who has lived in this
vicinity for about five years, was
drowned in less than two feet of water
last Sunday evening, while endeavor-
ing to save his boat and its contents.
During the afternoon Capt" Powers,
as he was Familiarity called, had been
over at the beach on the peninsula
and started for the mainland about
430, beating up against the wind in
an effort to reach a point about two
miles south of Fort Pierce, where he
had been living in tent A strong
breeze had sprung up and about 5
o'clock it assumed the proportions Of
a small gale. 1t is evident that Pow
ers encountered this gale just before
he reached the landing. as the boat
was found capsized not a hundred feet
from the dock in front of the home
of George Backus. After releasing the
mast and lashing his gun, fishing
tackle. etc, to the boat, the captain
must have started for the dock. as he
was found within a few yards of it
in the morning. His hands were clnch-
ed and drawn up to his breast in the
attitude that was characteristic with
him when he became chilled

FIRE AT BOWLING GREEN.

A fire occurred at Bowling Green
lately, breaking out in the rear of the
store building occupied by L. S.
Sykes. The building was owned by
]. c. Jordan of Ozona. The stock of
merchandise and furniture was insured
for S1,S00. which will probably cover
the loss. Immediately to the rear of
this building was J. r. Vaughn's fur
niture wareroom, which was a COM
plete loss, the insurance having run
out. From this point the fire crossed
the street and soon Sauls Bros place
of business was in ashes. They car
ried about $500 stock, with 81 500 in
surance. The building was not in
sured. The upper part was used as a
Masonic hall. and the Masons sustain
ed a loss of about $780, Next the meat
market of j. T. Mann was consumed
The store building, owned by T. r.
Starke, and used as a dwelling by
j. F. Mann, was also burned, with con-
siderable loss of household effects. The
small store building on the north side
of the Sykes building, used as a gun
shop by ]. A Overfelt, was also de-
stroyed.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

anu shAppihB'
Capt. Frank B. Avery, of the tug
Dauntless, sailed for Cuba yesterday.
This means he will be on duty during
Christmas, and very probably on the
sea.
Il do not mind this probability at
ALL" said he. For the past three years
1 have been at sea on Christmas Day,
and every time off Cape Hatteras."
Before leaving New York with the
big dredge the Dauntless is towing to
Cardenas, Capt. Avery had tussle
with the custom officers, who wanted
the Dauntless and her tow cleared from
there. Capt Avery has been along the
line enough to know the inconvenience
of this when he contemplated putting
in at both Savannah and Jacksonville
Unnecessary expense was probable. He
did not clear at New York
At the Merrill Stevens shipyards,
Jacksonville, a force of about forty
men are kept constantly at work on
the new dredge boat Jacksonville,
through so as she can be placed ~
work in the st. Johns river. These
laborers include carpenters, boiler
makers, caulkers, wiremen, black
smiths, etc, and they are kept at
work both day and night. 1t is now
thought that the Jacksonville will be
ready for work about Jan. l. The car
penter work will be finished up soon
and then the finishing touches will be
put on the ship. When completed the
Jacksonville will be one of the finest
river dredges in the South. She will
cost the government fully $4,000 when
completed.
The schooners Jas. E. RICHTER from
Jacksonville, and Willie E. Childs, from
Brunswick, arrived at New London
recently, each with a cargo of 100000
feet of yellow pine to be used in the
construction of vessels at the plant of
the r. Palmer & Son Co., Noank,
Conn.
The method of towing on long haw-
sers in the crowded waters of New
York Bay can only be justified if at
ALL by the exercise of the utmost ex-
actness on the part of the tug in per-
forming her duty to keep the tows in
line so that passing vessels can navi-
gate safely with regard to them, and
by the exercise of the utmost vigil
lance to see that the lows lights are
at all times exhibited as required by
pilot rule 11.-National Gazette.
