CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A VALIANT IRISH SEA CAP
TAIN.
BY A. w. MACY.

On May II, 1775, Capt. Jere-
miah O'Brien, owner of a little
lumber soop, chased and cap
tured the British war schooner
Marqaretta, carrying fouv light
guns and fourteen swivel pieces.
O'Brien's crew was thirty-five
landsmen, mostly Irish, armed
with muskets, pistols, blunder-
buses, axes and pitchforks. The
schooner had more men than
the sIoop, and was a commits
stoned war vessel. She had been
somewhat disabled in a squall,
and lucky shot from the lum-
Der sIoop killed the man at the
wheel and cleared the quarter
deck. Another shot killed the
British captain. O'Erien gave the
order to board. and the schoon-
er was captured after a hand-to-
hand fight. About twenty men
in all were killed and wounded.

THE AUTHENTIC LEE.
His Two Master Spirits Were Lofty
Pride and Fierce Enthusiasm.


Under the habitualy unruffled COM
posure of that ocean of reserve and
dominated, as l believe. by two master
spirits, lies the authentic Lee. And
what were those master spirits which
blind to facts and deaf to reason, drove
him on from Farmville? Were they
creations of his own? No. not at all.
Nature herself had planted them. And
what were they? One, an all pervading,
unconscious pride, pride not sordid
or arrogant, but lofty; the other. diff
fused through his whole being and pulls
ing in every vein, a burning. even
fierce, enthusiasm.
These. in my judgment. were the in
grained, controlling temperamental
qualities in Robert f. Lee which deter
mined his fate. The former could not
stand the humiliation of being over
thrown completely in cause he be-
leved right: the latter converted him at
dangers first challenge, as was again
and again displayed in the field. into
prompt and. inveterate fighter.
As. for instance. at Antietam, al
though he had met and stood off Nc
Clellan, yet with such carnage that 1t
was in effect a defeat, still for a day
after the battle lie hed his ground
among his dead. resolutely challenging
his adversary to come on If he dared.
So, too, he stood for day at Gettys-
burg after his frightful repulses, invit-
ing Meade to attack, and when with
his bleeding army he reached the food
ed Potomac. with every bridge swept
away. undismayed he turned his back
on the raging stream and. planting his
colors defiantly bade the Army of the
Potomac to strike.
Who can forget, too. how quickly he
accepted Hooker's gage of battle in the
Wilderness and how a year later-the
violets were just in bloom again for
the first time on the blood stained
ground of Gettysburg-he plunged at
Grant?
No eagle that ever few, no tiger that
ever sprang. had more natural cour-
age, and ! will guarantee that every
field he was on, If you ask 1t about
him, will speak of the unquailing battle
spirit of his mien. Be not deceived
Lee. Notwithstanding his poise was
naturally the most belligerent man at
the head of any army in the war.-Mor-
ris Schaff in Atlantic.

A NAVAL REBUKE.
Two Admirals, Captain and a Fool
In Manila Bay.

In Manila Bay.
When Deweys fleet was at Manila
the late Admiral Chichester was then
a captain On one occasion Admiral
Diedrichs, the German, sent out the
Irene on an unrevealed errand and
without the customary notification to
the commander of the blockading fleet.
Admiral Dewey had suffered, he
thought, sufficiently from that sort of
thing, and so the admiral sent a vessel
across the Irenes bows and notified
her captain that she would not be per-
mitted to depart without a statement
as to her destination.
1t was not Admiral Diedrichs' mis-
sion TO quarrel with both the Ameri-
can and the English fleets on this
critical occasion, so he sought to find
out Captain Chichester's purpose In
case of collision. Going on board
Chchester's ship. he angrily exclaim-
ed, "Did you see what Dewey did to
my ship?"
Yes" replied Chichester.
what would you have done II 1t had
been an English ship?"
"Well," said Chichester, convenient
ly assuming that the Irene's captain
had sailed without orders from Die
drichs, I'D have put my captain In
arrest, and then I'd have gone on
board the Olympia and apologized to
Admiral Dewey for having such fool
in command Of enc of my ships."-

were in the rottenest condition in that department

saying great deal Not that he was responsible
for the conditions, but he certainly didn't do any,
thing to better them. Then he went to the war.

New York, and if any man can find even chemical
traces Of reform IN that administration he is an

he did nothing that seriously amounted to anything
His personal conduct was annoying and offensive to
