An Appropriate Gift.

A FTER suffering eXcruciating tortures
! for six months from doubling up
perfectly sound leg to tit on a wooden
stump the crutch-bearing beggar finally
succeeded in eliciting sympathy from a
passerby. With kindly eyes the stranger
eyed the cripple from top to toe.
You seem to be in pretty bad way"
he said.
Yes, SIR whined the cripple. Could
mt be much worse
Too bad. said the sympathizer. "T
must see II something can't be done for
you
Hope beat strongly I'm the beggar's
breast and he murmured God bless you
with unusual fervor.
Two days later the sympathizer ap-
peared again and ostentatiousy presented
the cripple with the naturalization of his
benevolent intentions. He gave him q
new crutch.

of finding the boat that had been lost;
then she returned direct to Fort Mon

- y the 10Th of March. 1882, twenty
days after the battle between
the Virginia and the Monitor,
Commodore Josiah Tattnall
took command of the Virginia,
her first commander, Admiral (then Cap
tain) Franklin Buchanan, having been
wounded in the duel with the Monitor.
In the meantime. the Virginia was in
the dry dock under repairs. The hull
four feet below the shield was covered
with two-inch iron. \ new and heavier
ram was strongly secured to the bow.
The damage to the armor was repaired,
wrought-iron port-shutters were fitted,
and the rifle guns were supplied with
steel-pointed solid shot. These changes
Increased her draught to twenty-three
feet, improving her resisting powers. but
correspondingly decreasing her mobility
and reducing her speed to four knots.
On the nth Of April we steamed down
the harbor of Norfolk to Hampton roads
with six gunboats, fully expecting to
meet the Monitor again and other vessels.
We were primed for a desperate tussle;
but to our surprise we had the roads to
ourselves. The Monitor. with the other
vessels Of the fleet, remained below Fort
Monroe, in Chesapeake bay, where we
could not get at them except by passing
between the forts. :,
A few days later we went down again
to within gunshot of the ripraps. and
exchanged a few rounds with the fort,
hoping that the Monitor would come out
from her lair into the open water. Had

BY V. Nj. JONES.

VALDEZ, Alaska, Feb. 21.-
Just across the river from the mis-
sion at Copper Center lived a little
Indian girl called Yeddy-sister of
a chief, Big Jack. Because Big
Jack showed a disposition to re-
sent the treatment accorded him
and his people by the bureau of
education, he was held in disre-
pute by the officials of that bu-
reau.> Big Jack had nothing but
contempt for them, and in turn
was regarded by the officials as
headstrong and revolutionary.
Little Yeddy attended the mis-
sion school at Copper Center. She
did not attend as regularly as chill
dren in our country because there
were days when she couldn't go
and then again it is rather dis
heartening to sit in school all day
with nothing In your stomach.
But then Yeddy attended as regu-
larly as did the rest of the Indian
children.
One day Yeddy was taken sick.
All day long, day after day, she
lay in the wretched camp across
the river from the mission. LongI
ago Big Jack, throwing aside his
pride. had petitioned the teacher at
the mission to come aud help Yed-
dy, but to no avail
The Indian has great respect for
the white mans medicine and with
good reason As general rule
