stepped down the ladder hearty cheer
rang out from the passing frigate
which, without order, was Justify re-
turned from the Richard, and then the
two officers walked through the bat
teries.
The sun had set for some time, and
night had long since fallen over the
sea. The lighthouse on Marlborough
head was sending out great beam Of
warning from that jutting point. Far
ON the horizon a silvery brightness had
spread itself in the heavens, bespeak-
ing the harvest moon, the FURNISHED
rim of which even before sunset had
leaped into being on the edge Of the
water. Lights twinkled here and there
on the English ships before them and
crowned the hills of the distant town
and harbor. Battle lanterns were
lighted between decks on the Richard,
the yellow Pickering radiance from
which was reflected from the sinewy,
half naked, sweat covered bodies Of
the stalwart men at their quarters as
the captain walked through the crew.
It was a varied assemblage of about
800 men which manned the guns and
filed the tops. The crew had been
made up in France out of such ma
terials as came to hand. There were
about seventy-five tried and true
American seamen, most Of them vet
Grams of many hard fight and bold
adventure. These commanded the diff
ferent guns and filled the more i'm
portant stations. There were, per-
haps, $50 veteran French soldiers
old artillerists-some Of whom had
volunteered at the guns. A few
of the most expert marksmen among
them were stationed in the tops,
but the greater portion was divided
into two large bodies drawn up on
the quarter deck and forecastle. The
balance of the crew had been gathered
from the riffraff Of all nations. Perhaps
a tougher, rougher, harder. more des-
perate body of men never fought in

with an iron hand, and in spite Of bit

it was to fight. forgot their personal
grievances and, mindful of the finish

their captain, looked favorably upon
him and eagerly anticipated the con-

try, usually permitted in moments like
these, flew up and down the line be-

in rapid review.
The watches had been piped to sup
per earlier than usual, and afterward a
double ration Of grog had been served
out. The men were in good spirits and
good spirits in them! The captain care
fully examined every part of the ship.
The young midshipmen who filed the
unwonted stations; evidently deeply
impressed by their opportunities and
responsibilities. were pacing restlessly
up and down, eagerly scrutinizing ev-
cry detail of their several commands.
On the berth deck, standing before the
hatch which led into the hold in which
over 200 English prisoners were con-
fined, the commodore found young
Payne, attended by the master at
arms, two American seamen and three
French soldiers, keeping guard.
"Ah! l am glad to see you at your
station" said the captain, raising his
voice as the young midshipman, full Of
pride, saluted him. "YOu remember
my orders, sir, which were to shoot the

There was hoarse murmur from the
prisoners beneath the gratings which
covered the hatchway at this speech Of

FOLK AND HIS FIGHT AGAINST

Joseph W. Folk, who as circuit at
torney of the city of ST.. Louis, has
gained national reputation on ac-
count of his successful prosecution OF
bride takers and grafters, In both
branches OF the municipal assembly

prosecutions, were united in their ef-
forts against him, That he signally
triumphed, is bright omen for the
future of Missouri. The platform
upon which Mr.. Folk stands pledges
his administration, if successful at
the polls, TO pursue the policy he has
followed as circuit attorney, against
corruption and corruptionists in the
following vigorous language:
We hereby declare unremitting warfare
against corruption, and pledge the Dem
ocratic party to hit corruption and bit IL
hard, whether in our own ranks or In
the ranks of the opposition party. The
decree has gone forth that there is no
room in the Democratic party for hood

not want their votes. We invite such as

With such candidate this decla-
ration is not meaningless platitude.
Graft and dishonor will be searched

There is corruption more or less in
every State, and as has been demon
strated, only too well, the conduct OF
the national government has been
and no doubt is now tainted with it,
and both the great national parties
in convention have pledged them
selves to ferret it out and eliminate
it. Let US hope that these declara-
tions mean something too, and that
