Efforts are making to secure an ap
propriation to put Old Ironsides in trim
to begin another cennrry, and her sister
ship, the President, captured bj a Brit
ish squadron after peace "was declared
in IS 15, may yet find anchorage beside
her at the deck -where she 'was built.
The President -was a 44 gnn frigate
like the Constitution, bat didn't have
the run of luck -which helped make Old
Ironsides famous. Through cut the -war
of 1812 .Napoleon's attitude kept Great
Britain at -war with every nation that
did not second her in -working far his
downfall.
A favorable arrangement between
Prance and the United States had caused
British cruisers on the American coast
to become more and more annoying tc
American commerce. A richly laden
vessel bound to France -was captured
-within 30 miles of New York, and
early in May. 1811, a British frigate
supposed to be the Guerriere- stopped
an American brig only 18 miles from
2ew York. The government resolved
to send out one or two of the new frig
ates to protect American commerce from
British cruisers. The President, lying
at Annapolis, was ordered to put to sea
at once, under the command of Commo
dore Rodgers, and search for the Guer
riere. She weighed anchor and proceed
ed down Chesapeake bay, and on the
14th passed the capes of Virginia out
into the Atlantic- Rodgers saw a vessel
on the eastern horizon. Having ex
changed signals, the stranger bore otT
southward. Thinking she might be the
Guerriere. Rodgers gave chase. Early
in the evening of May 16 Rodgers was
so near that he inquired, "What ship
is -that?" The question, repeated, came
from the stranger Rodgers immediate
ly reiterated his question, which, before
he could take his trumpet from his
mouth, was answer d by a shot that
lodged in the mainmast of the President.
Rodgers ordered a return shot. It was
followed by three shots frcni his antag
onist and then by a broadside with
musketry. Then Rodgers, "equally de
termined," he said, "not to be the ag
gressor or suffer the flag of my country
to be insulted with impunity," gave or
ders for a general fire. His antagonist
was silenced within sis minutes, and
the guns of the President ceased firing,
when suddenly her antagonist opened
fire anew. Again she was silenced, and
at dawn the president saw her several
miles to the leeward. Rodgers ascer
tained that his enemy was his majesty's
ship Little Belt, Captain A. B. Bing
ham, which was searching for the Guer
riere on the American coast. After an
investigation the two governments were
willing to bury the affair iu oblivion,
but the people of both countries were
stirred to more bitter animosity.
Commodore Rodgers was in the port
of New York when war was declared in
command of a email squadron, compris
ing the President (his flagship), the Es
sex, Captain Porter, and the Hornet,
Captain Lawrence. He received orders
to sail immediately on a cruise. Having
information that a fleet of West India
merchantmen had sailed for England
under a convoy, he steered for the gull
stream to intercept it. He had been
joined by a cmll squadron under Com
modore Decatur, comprising the United
States (flagship), the Congress and the
Argus. Meeting a vessel which had been
boarded by the British ship Belvidera.

of 36 hours he discovered the Belvidera,
gave chase and overtook her off Nan
tucket shcals. Captain Rodgers person
ally pointed and discharged one of the
bow chase guns of the President, and
his shot went crashing into the gunroom
of his antagonist, driving her people
from it. That was the first hostile shot
of the war fired afloat. Two more shots
were sent home, but at the fourth the
President's guns burst,killed and wound
ed 16 men, blew up the forecastle and
threw Rodgers several feet in the air.
As he fell his leg was broken.
In spite of the disaster the President's
broadside guns were double shotted,
and the starboard fire delivered with
-telling effect upon the Belvidera. The
enemy's fire was also accurate, every
shot "striking the President. After an
other broadside the latter began to lose
on the chase, and darkness enabled the

to bring bis

catur took command of the President
and sailed from the blockaded port of
New York on Jan. 12, 1815, before the
news of the treaty of Ghent, signed in
December previous, reached America.
Sailing continuQusly, he escaped tr-s
blockaders, but on the evening of the
14th ran into a British squadron 65
miles off Sandy Hook. Decatur turned
about, hoping to make the eastern end
of Long TVlrsnd, but next morning the
President was chased by four THHfr
ships of war.
These were the Endymian. Pomone,
Tenedos and Majestic. The President,
deeply laden with stores for a long
cruise, soon found the Endymion rap
idly overtaking her. Decatur lightened
his ship to increase her speed, but to
little purpose. At 8 o'clock in the after
noon the Endymion came down with a
fresh breeze, which the President did
not feel, and opened her bow guns upon
the latter. The fire was quickly return
ed. At 5 o'clock the Endymion gained
an advantageous position and terribly
bruised the President, while the latter
could not bring a gun to bear on her
antagonist. It was evident that the En
dymion was endeavoring to gradually
bring the President to an unmanage
able wreck. Perceiving rhig, Decatur
resolved to run down upon the Endym
ion, take her by boarding and trans
fer his crew to the swifter vessel

livered trenndous broadsides. Every
attempt of Decatur to lay the President
alongside the Endymion was foiled.
The gallant captain was twice wound
ed, but refused to leave the deck. He
now determined to dismantle his antag
onist. The two frigates ran side by side
for 2 f hours, discharging broadsides at
each other, until the Endymion, having
had most of her sails cut from the yards,
fell astern and would have struck hex
colors in a few minutes. At that mo
ment the Pomone and Tenedos were
seen approaching. The President kept
on her course and vainly tried to es
cape. The pursuers closed upon her and
at 11 o'clock made a simultaneous at
tack Decatur thought of surrender. One
fifth of his crew was disabled, his ship
crippled and a fourfold force opposed tc
him. Just then the Pomone fired a sec
ond broadside, which killed a number of
men on the President. 'She means to
sink us!" exclaimed Decatur, his face
streaming blood from two ugly wounds.
"To your quarters, my lads, and renew
your fire." Before the command could
be obeyed the Tenedos ranged up on the
President's starboard bow and hailing
was answered: "This is the American
frigate President. We have surrender
ed!" The reports to the British admiral ry
stated that the President was captured
by the Majestic, Tenedos, Endymion
and Pomone. Bluff old Admiral Coch
rane remarked, "Why, the President
was completely mobbed!" The veteran
ship has been in the regular British na
vy since her capture and now lies at
the West India docks at London. Her
name has never been changed. It has
been suggested in England that she be
returned in a general exchange of war
trophies held by the two nations.

When Doctors Disagree.
Doctors rarely or never criticise each
other in the presence of laymen, the
idea being apparently that to do so
would tend to weaken an existing and
most commendable belief on the part of
the general public in the infallibility of
every regular practitioner. It is just
possible that there is no such belief,
and that even the doctors themselves
know that nobody is deceived when, as
often happens, one of them reverses en
tirely a dismissed brother's treatment
of a case ani nt the same time praises
both the treatment and the brother
with fervid cordiality.
Be that as it may, when the doctors
get together, as in their state conven
tion, the infallibility theory gets some
dreadfully bard knocks. The author of
one paper read declared that 75 per cent
of physicians habitually neglected a
malady that produces an enormous
amount of deafness; a second said that
a largt- proportion of the operations far
appendicitis were wholly unnecessary,
while half a dozen of them expressed
the opinion that most abases of medical
charity, about which the profession
complains so bitterly, were the direct
result of unwise or dishonest conduct on
the part of the pcafessioa's own mem
bers. New York Times.

THACKERAY IN BOSTON.
"F Cosoaacnt ob the "Good Society" of
That City.
Mr. Thackeray brought from England
a letter of introduction to an important
gentleman of Beacon street. By him he
was most hospitably entertained and
passed from dinner parry to dinner par
ty. But Thackeray's interest in the cap
ital of New England did not end with
Beacon street dinner parties. He had
heard something of the eminent men of
the town and at that moment happened
to be particularly interested in Theo
dore Parker. He wished very much to
hear this celebrated Unitarian preacher.
He mentioned this desire to his host.
The Beacon street gentleman seemed
much surprised, but without abating
any of his outward courtesy and mak
ing some valid excuse took Tirm to
King's chapel on Sunday morning in
stead of to Music hall, where Parker
preached. At King's chapeL the Bea
con street gentleman said, peoplo of the
best society might always he found.
Thackeray, it is needless to say, was
a mild mannered man, not fond of a
struggle to free himelf from his enter
tainer's clutches. He saw that it was
impossible far him to get an Sunday to
Music hall. But during the week he
heard that Parker was to deliver a dis
course at the funeral of a rich and pub
lic spirited merchant. Thackeray went
alone to the funeral and was greatly in
terested and thrilled by the address.
He also saw many people who looked
as if they were more interesting than
any he had seen at the Beacon street
dinner parties. He went home that
morning to dinner and found that his
host had invited to meet him several
gentlemen of the best society, most of
whom were bares. Thackeray could not
help telling about Parker and the fu
neral and confessing how much he had
been impressed by the preacher and the
people. His host was visibly distressed
and presently managed to whisper in
his ear, "I beg of you, Mr. Thackeray,
to remember that Mr. Parker does not
belong to our best society." This was
mare than the Englishman could stand,
and he replied, loud enough to be heard
by at least one at the table, "Upon my
word, I begin to wish I hadn't got into
good society when I came to Boston. "

WARNING FOR SCHOOLMA'AM
A Fond Mother Viewed the Acquaintance
With Some Suspicion.
The course of a teacher in some rural
schools is not unmarked by pitfalls.
One young lady thus engaged tells an
amusing story of the anxiety her con
duct unwittingly caused the mother of
one of her pupils. The pupil in ques
tion was an overgrown and stupid but
well behaved boy of 19, named Tobias
Hodge. He was older by several years,
and far bigger than any other pupil in
the school, but he was not so well ad
vanced in his studies as some of the
younger ones. He seemed so anxious
to learn that the teacher often got him
to remain after school for the purpose
of assisting him in his studies.
Their hemeward way lay over the
same road, and they would walk home
together after the hard places in the les
sons had been made easy far Tobias.
Often in the morning, when she left
home to go to the schoolhousc. the
teacher would find the boy waiting for
her, and she tactfully gave him several
lessons in politeness, such as lifting his
hat to her and other ladies, and assist
ing her over bad places in the road
She was beginning to feel that she
might really make something out of To
bias, when her efforts on his behalf re
ceived a sudden check by the receipt of
the following note from his widowed
mother:

How the Scene Was Once lighted.
It must have often struck people,
when reading of the old performances
in the last century, how it was that the
lighting was contrived. The power of
oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters
like Drury Lane and Covent Garden
were of enormous size. There were no
footlights, at least until about the mid
dle of the last century, and they were
the humble "floats," dim enough. Yet
there was ample light to observe ex
pression and play of features, so neces
sary in interpreting the fine old come
dies of character. Nowadays the stage
is one blaze. It is literally bathed and
suffused in light. There are no shad
ows, and yet it might be said the
amount of necessary light is no more
than there used to be and is not nearly
as satisfactory. How was it then?
In the theaters of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads of the actors from the
arch of the proscenium and just outside
the curtain. When the play was over,
these were lowered slowly, a signal for
the audience to depart. These chande
liers furnished a goodly amount of light
on a circular zone immediately below
them. The actors' faces and figures
were lit in the natural way, as the sun
would light them, but the rest of the
stage was comparatively r?nrV or
gloomy. Gentleman's Magazine.

GREATNESS UNDERVALUED.
Shakespeare, Scott aad Mrs. Siddons Were
"ot Wonder Oaee.
In these modern days-, when the most
extravagant laudations are paid by lit
tle cliques to little poets and mediocre
actors, and the language of eulogy is
exhausted on what seems very renall
provocation, it is difficult to picture a
time when not only the minor bard and
the second class actors were severely
dealt with, but even the best- and great
est were exposed to irreverent criticism.
Robert Greene, who, however, was in
the same line of business ("wrote him
self"), declared his contemporary
Shakespeare to be "an upstart crow,
who, in his own conceit, was the only
Hhakescene in the country." Dryden
wrote of the bard of Avon: "He writes
in many places below the dullest writ
ers of our or any preceding age. Never
did any author precipitate himself from
such heights of thoughts to such low
expressions. He is the Janus of poets,
and you have scarcely time to admire
one face ere you despise the other. "
Coming nearer to our own times, it
is generally, but quite erroneously, sup
posed that the Waverly novels were re
ceived with a universal accord of ac
claim on their first appearance, but this
is by no means the case. In many of
the contemporary organs of criticism
they were "damned with faint praise, "

Sir Henry Irving is supposed to have
taken the town by storm and to have
been at once acknowledged the queen of

admitting her great talents, by no
means expressed himself with such en
thusiasm. "She pleased me beyond my
expectation, but not up to the admira

in the same box with me. Mr.
Crawford asked me if I did not think
her the best actress I ever saw. I said:

Her hair is either red or she has no ob
