After all his battles wore won anil lie
Was coming home in the Hartford to reap
the honors due him, Ins great old ship,
shattered and hanging utmost ly the
Kpikes and planking, got into one of
thoHO nasty gales off the coast of Florida.
The wind tore from the southwest, cross
ed the Gulf Stream and caught the old
ship with u tremendous cross sea, and En
rolled almost guns under. The old Ad
miral had, of course, no command except
a general one. His flag captain was alone
responsible, lint lie couldn't keep of the
quarter deck. He lacked no coiilldcnct
was simply force of habit. Pretty soon
ho dodged below, and in a few moments
came up with a tremendous tarpaulin
suit and a hat as big as a spanker. It

ful sea running. The old Hartford wa
standing up under a close-reefed foresail
and mainsail and storm staysail and :
half set jib. She was plunging, am
every sea swept her decks, and her bat
4 . .. t "
luijr as creating a man at every yun
to watch the fastenings. She lay over
till her lec yardanns almost touched, and
were now and then washed by the heavy
seas. Farragut came tip at midnight with
his yellow tarpaulin suit, grasped the
man rope on his cabin ladder, steadied
himself, took a look at the blackness and
the sea, noted the binnacle, and he seem
ed to snort. After all the glory the old
man had won, it was perfect joyousness
to be onre more confronted with the ele
ments. "Drayton," he said, "tell Kimh
e.'ly to go below, he's tired. You and
I'll take care of her. C'ive me that trum
pet, Kimberley. You go and get some
sleep." Aghast that the old Admiral
should ask for the trumpet, and astonish
ed to see him m such a rig, Kimberly
hesitated, but only for an instant. All
Knew Jrarragut, "You go below and
sleep,' said the latter; "Drayton and
will look after her," and, then, changing
his tone to that of an oflicer relieving the
watch, he asked sharp: "How's the hcad
sir? What are your orders? How are
the pumps? I'm afraid you've too much
head sail on, sir. What are Captain
Drayton s orders?" -
Tlx....- M- 11 . -. ...

carry that, sir." "I doubt it, captain.
IJeside, I don't like this roll, and I'm go
ing to bring her up in the wind a litHe
more, with your permission, and I don't
want those two forward sails. D'ye you
see?" Many a time after Captain Drayton
laughingly described how Farragut tool
charge of the ship that night, and hand
led her only as an old seaman could. He
had all hands on deck, and his voice
through the trumpet wiis not for an hour
recognized. One of the most difficult
feats of seamanship is to tack or wear
lull rigged ship in a gale of wind. The
latter course is the easier if the sea is not
too heavy and the currents right, but
that night the old Admiral both tacked
and wore his ship without starting a gun
yarn. ITis crew was his old ficrhtiiiir
crew, and two hours after he "took the
deck" it leaked out that the "old man
had the trumpet and was playing with
the ship in a gale of wind for his ow

luiuaciiiem-. Aiicruiai tne men sprang
to their work like tigers. Thcv iumned
into the rigging like cats and overhaul xl
the standing parts of running gear like
jabbering monkeys. Once in wearing
her the old Admiral yelled through his
trumpet: "Forcastle there! Stow away
the jib, but look cut!" TI13 men were
on the foot rope of the jibboom; just as
she bore around into the face of a big
sea there came a "cross butter" which lift
ed her stern. Down went the vessel's
bow, jibboom, men on it and all, and ten
tons of water came in over her topgallant
forecastle. She rose like a dolphin, and
everybody's heart was in his throat. But
the men, clinging for dear life, rose with
her, and were only drenched and laugh
ing. It was 4 o'clock that morning when
Farragut handed his trumpet to the reg
ular watch officer and said, as he shook
himself: "Well, she's as good at sea as
she is in a fight. I just wanted to test
that. Tell Captain Drayton that I've got
her back to her course, and, as the weath
er is a little better, lying closer to it
Dear me, dear me, I'm getting old. j
know that I don't believe I'll ever pull a
trumpet on a crew again but I just want
ed one more chance. Good-night, young
man. Don't let her get away from you
and don't forget your tacks and braces.

and iron-clads are going to ruin the navy.

Temperance.
Senator John H. Peagan, of Texas, has
vritt'-n the follow ing letter on the tem
perance ip.iesliun, published in the Galves
ton A"e ':
After picturing at length the wretched
ness and dishonor to bo encountered in
everv eummunitv resulting from t tie use
of liquor, the distinguished Senator says:
"I must express my regret that any effort
has been made to make a party question
of Prohibition, and especially do I regret
that Democrats should seek to identify
that great and grand historic party with
the foi tunes and fate of whisky shops,
drunkards and criminals."
Viewing the question from a. Jefferson
ian standpoint the Senator continues
"There is a broad difference bet ween laws
which interfere with legitimate trade, and
with such as would interfere with the
purchase and sale of necessary food,
drink and raiment, called sumptuary
laws, and laws which have for their ob
ject the punishment of crime, and the
perservation of the public morals find
decencv. And I think it hardly just to
the memory of Mr. Jcilcrson to assume
that he would not have recognized this
distinction. I have, during all the years
of mv manhood, been a Democrat of the
".lightest sect, and an earnest, enthusi
astic disciple of Thomas Jefferson, whom
I regard as the greatest political philoso
A Lawyer on Spiritualists.
The New York Mail ami J:'.jn.-r.
A lawyer of the city was by accident as
sociated with spiritualists recently. He
has attenden a number of seances and told
a reporter that the public would be sur
prised if they knew how many h ading
professional men attend seances and con
sult mediums. He told of a well know n
lawyer who goes to mediums to consult
about cases, and when the reporter's in
formant asked the lawyer if he
realy believed in such things, the
reply was that one must believe what
one sees. During his investigations the
reporter's informant met several clergy
men at the seances, lie had been told
that one of the mediums here had shelter
ed a murderer several weeks, for who-c
detection a reward of ": 10.000 had been
ofTcied.
"I'll tell you what I did at one of the
seances," he added. "It was where they
produced what they claimed the spirit of
an Indian. 1 interupted the proceedings
by asking if I might say a word. The re
quest was reluctantly granted. Then I
told them that I had si 00 in mv pocket
which I would make the medium a pivf
cnt of, on condition that I should be al
lowed, to put my hands on him when he
appeared as the spirit of another. When
I allowed them to attempt to call up a
spirit for me I had to pay the medium !"),
and it is astonishing how many people
are led to hand in their money. Put
when the spirit began to tell me about
what happened before I was married,
that settled it, for I va3 not a married
man. Before this they told me they had
a communication from the spirit of Alice
Carry, warning them against me, and
once they got off some verses w hich they
said were sent by the spirit of Longfel
low. At the house where I was boarding
there was a voung fellow so thoroughly
converted to the faith that he said he be
lieved a medium could make a big book
o through a table or desk without mak
ing a hole or a break. He told mc that
in the day time, at a seance, he had been
lifted up, together with the chair in which
he had been sitting, and carried to anoth
er part of the room by invisible power.

desiring to see law? passed which would
interfere with the freedom of legitimate
commerce, or which would undertake to
control the purchase, sale and us;; of nec
essary tooil, itrinK or apparel as any one
could be. But I believe it to be tlie du
ty of the people, in a lawful manner, to
protect themselves and society against
the evils of the improper sale and use of
intoxicating liquors. If I have not al

because I was unw illing to rdlow an out

A Model Application.
Dakota Cell: The Sioux Falls Fire
and Marine Life Insurance campany was
organized this week. One trouble with
the life insurance companies in the past,
has been the great number of unnecersary
and troublesome questions the applicant
was obliged to answer. This has been
largely done away with in this company's
application blank, a part of which we
subjoin:
