occivcd notice that I am to bo relieved

"Havo you been assigned to other

"Not BB yot. I am npw 'waiting or-

nd If nnasslgnod shall pats the few

hoao places. Wo are retired at G2 , and
shall roach that ago In August. "
"And then ? "
"I think that perhaps my wife and I
may take a year In Europe. Although 1
iavo been in Europe Eovcral times , I
mvo never soon it. In my earlier years ,
whllo occupying leaser positions , I could
lot easily leave the voesol when In port ,
.nd . so I have never soon much of
Europe. "
"You Bay you have been forty-four
'cars ' in service ? "
"Yea ; nearly. I was appointed mid-
hlpman In 1841. That was before the
naval academy was established , and wo
tudied mathematics , seamanship , gun-
icry and other necessary things on shlp-
) oard. Wo had a teacher of mathomn-
ica with us , and wo wore obliged to un-
torgo oxaminatlona at stated times. "
"In 1813 1 waa attached to the sloop-
if-war Saratoga , and wo had quite a live-
y little.affair oil the woat coast of Africa.
t was at the tlmo of the agitation oon-
ernlng the alavo trade and of the
tYabbnrton treaty. Wo were ordered
0 the coast of Guinea to
LOOK OUT FOR SLAVERS.
iftor criming about for atlmo , wo learned
bat a trading vessel , which belonged at
alorn , had boon captured by the natives ,
lie cruw killed , the cargo seized and the
catol burned , so that every vestige of
lie crime * was removed. Wo were ord-
rod on shore for the purpose of avenging
ho outrage , and had a lively skirmish
1th the natives , capturing and destroy-
g the Hereby villages. Wo landed a
ruall force of marines and a small field-
ieco which threw shrapnel. The natives
wore unclothed , save by a clout , and wore
rmed with old-fashioned smooth-bore
Int-lock muaketa. They had , also clubs ,
nivos and spears , and If they had only
cnown their strength , for they wore 2000
r 3000 strong , they might h&vo easily
nassacrod us all. But they did not un-
iorstand the explosion and scattering of
he eharpnel shot , ahd they broke and
led from their villages , abandoning them
nd wo bnrnt them , Two or three of our
men were wounded and ono afterward
died. "
"That was your first engagement ? "
"Yes. Three years after , I was ap-
lointod passed midshipman , which grade
. hold for twelve years. In 1855 I re
ceived a commission as master , and the
amo year as lieutenant. These years
wore passed mostly In squadron duty ,
; hongh the Mexican war gave us some
"Ivcly work. In the latter year I was at
ached to the sloop John Adams of the
Pacific equadron. AnAmerican vessel
lad been attacked by Feejoo Wanders ,
and the crow murdered and eaten. Wo
were ordered to assail them In return ,
and I Commanded a party which landed
and attacked and destroyed the village of
Vutla. It waa quite a lively eklrmlsh ,
very similar to that , several years before ,
on the Guinea ooatt. In fact wo had
quite a number of skirmishes with the
b'oojocs. "
"Throe years later I was attached to
the Mediterranean squadron. In these
: rnlaes in foreign waters wo frequently
bad occasion to protect the interests ol
our citfaMis abroad , especially in the
Central and South American stateswhere
revolutions are of frequent occurrence.
A case in point has jnat occutrod , our
vessels of wav being obliged to Interfere
to protect the rights of oar citizens at
thu Isthmus of Panama , and a party of
marines loft this navy yard yesterday ,
on route for the Isthmus to render their
aid. "
"You siw some active service during
the late war ? "
"Detached from the Mediterranean
squadron , which waa , of course , ordered
homo at the
DHKAKINO OUT Ol' THE WAK ,
1 waa , In 1801 , attached to the steam
frlgtto Minnesota. Later I commanded
the iteamor Anacoata of the Potomac
flotilla , and in January , 1802 , took purl
in the attack on Cockpit Polnt battery.
In March of that year wo wore at Aquia
Creek , and later took part in the siege.
of Yorktown and the attack upon Glou
cester Point. In July of that year I
was commlaaicnod aa lieutenant-com
mander. A year later came the battle a' '
Morris Island , and In the asmo montl
the attack on Fort Wanner , where
commanded the ironclad Patapaco. In
August of the aamo year wo again at
tacked Wsgner , and also Forts Uregg
and Snmter. In the attack upon Snmto
I commanded the Ironclad Montauk. J
month later , as fleet captain , I was iu
command of the iligthlp Woehawken in
the second attack upon Fort Sumtor
This was September 1,1803. "
"It was there that you received ycu
"
wound ?
"Yea. I received there a severe woum
in the leg , which kept mo on my backfo
seven months and on crutches for a yea
and a half. It is still troublesome. Thl
practically ended my work In the war
In 1800 1 waa rai od to the grade of com
mander , and WES In command of th
tteamer Pcoria of the North Atlantl
squadron I was commlwioned captain
In 1872 , In 1878 I commanded the old
frigate Constitution Iu taking out the ex
hibits for the exposition at Paris. In
18811 received the rank of commodore
and wai a member of the examining
board at Washington. From 1882 to the
irosent tlmo I have been In command at
his navy yard. "
"Your services has been varied ? "
"Yes. I cannot say that my service
las been especially brilliant , bat It
i as been useful. Our foreign equadrous ,
hough but llltlo is Hoard from
hem , are doing vn'tublo work.
? hey are properly called the
police of the sens. ' If the cruising of
war vessels were discontinued , pirates
would bo seen hovering about the en-
rinco of Boston harbjr and all along
our coast In loss than n month. You are
urprleod , bat you can readily see that It
would bo so. Lot a police officer bo
> lac6d In a certain part of this city and
ct him patrol n certain tquaro nightly
or three years. Ho la vigilant and oc-
ivo , and sees nil that gooa on about htm ,
? orba pa ho may nut make on arrest in
ho whole tbreo years. Lot the clamor
> o raised that that man la doing no good ,
hat ho never makoa an arrest , and that
bo neighborhood is quiet and a police
; uard la unnecessary. Take him off and
eave that section unguarded , and there
will bo a burglary in that neighborhood
ho next night. So It Is with the high
GIB. Ships of war are necessary for too
rotoction of commerce , and will always
10 necessary so long aj human nature re
mains as It is. "

more could bo asked ? In addition to
hat our people pull together , but they
.on't like snobbishness. I remember ono
imo I mas stumping ono of the mountain
iountios. I bought $25 worth of nickels
nd pat them in my oaddlebjgs. Every
eg cabin I would come to I would ride
up and ask for a drink of water. Well ,
ut would como a little boy or girl with a
jourd dipper of warm water. 1 would
ake a awaUow , then drop a nickel In the
Ippor The little one would run in and
would go on. The child's mother would
omo and have tbo fat gentleman pointed

oto out of that houao. Well , ono raurn-

rought mo out a dipper of water. I

mdn't a copper. 'Little girl , ' said I , 'I

what's the next boat thing for a girl , and

"Another little black-eyed girl hero
bowed up and I had to klsi her for a

ilflsod each one. ' The changa In stature

Instance In Modern Oratory " \Vtion
They HAVO Been Effect Ivcly
Introduced Some Novel
Prayers A 1'rayltiB
Machine.
It la a singular fact , says a writer In
ho Cincinnati Enquirer , tbnt In the
Jovlticua and Deuteronomy of the Joivs
hero ia not a single public prayer , nor
> no single .formula of public worship.
? hcro are no prayers Instituted for their
eotlvltloa of the pauovor , tabernacles ,
ho pontocoit , the trumpets , the general
xplation , or the now moon. Among
bo Romans there are no forms of n prayer
oft , yet their divinities liad their ownpo-
ulsar forms and ceremonials of worship ,
'orhapa ono of the oldest prayers comes
own to us from the Egyptians. It waa
sed In the mysteries of Isls. It Is both
hort and beautiful :
"Tho celestial powcra obey thee ; hell
s In tubjootlon to thee ; the universe ro-
elves under thy moving hand ; thy foot
road on Tartarue ; the stars are rospon-
Ivo to thy voice ; the seasons return at
by command ; the elements are obedient
o thy will. "
There Is also an ancient form that waa
opposed to have been used In the wor-
hip of Orpheus , which is oven superior
o the ono above : "Walk In the path of
uatlco ; adora the master of the uni-
erse ; ho la one alone and self-existent ;
11 other beings ewe their oxhtouco to
ilm ; ho acts both in him and by them ,
> nt haa never made himself soon by mor
al eyes. "
There arc two notable Instances In
modern oratory where prayers have boon
ffoctlvely introduced. In Webster's
rent reply to Hayno on the Pooto
caolntlons January 21 , 1830 , the great
rater concluded his address , according
o the late Prof. John W. Eowler , of
"oughkoopalo , who was an eye-witness ,
n the form of a prayer , raising both
lands toward heaven. So , too , did
Charles Stimncr , In hla great oration on
ho barbarism of slavery , conclude In the
orm of a prayer , imitating the prayer of
) emo3thcnos In his oration on tbo
rown.
Dr. Johnson frequently converged on
ho subject of prayer , and loft a very
joautiful ono on hla wife , tbo anniversary
f whoao death ho always kept ,
'ho great lexicographer always
ontomplatod preparing a cot
f prayers , believing that prepared
rayors were much more acceptiblo
ban impromptu affair * . In this he waa
, ot unlike the lazy clergyman who al-
raya repeated the Lord's Prayer , and
rhon aakcd by ono of his parishoners
why ho did this , ha replied : "Why , tbto
iord has made a graat deal better prayer
ban lean , BO I prefer to use that. "
In 1850 Elder Llttlejohu oil'erod np
bo following original prayer , which ,
bough intended for Indiana , will fit
thor states : " 0 , Lord ! there la great
rlckodncss and much drunkenness lu our
onng and rising towns. Therefore , O
d , we crave Thy blessing. Now ,
rfllwankco , just sprung up , is bad ; Chl-
ago , another mushroom , la worse. Yet
o Thou , Lord , bloaa and improve them ,
'hen , there la Michigan City , a place of
and and whisky , and La Porte , a place
f mud and wickedness ; and Indeed they
toed Thy blessing. And there Is South
3end , and also Nllea , where they think
bemaolves righteous , but they are fall of
um-holcs end rottenness. Lord , they
need Thy blessing. And hero in Mlaha-
raka , which boasts Itself tomethlng , but
as nothing but self-rlghteonsnoaa , good
jord , open its eyes , thit it may receive
Thy blessing. Then we have Elkhart ,
nd Bristol , and Mottvlllo , llttlo things ,
> nt wicked. Do , Lord , bless them.
Then pausing for breath and raising hla
voice to the highest pitch. ] And , lastly ,
hen , dear , good Lord , even bless Oon-
tantine , where Gov. Barry cells whisky
at 3 cents a glass. Amen1 !
It is not often that clergymen resort to
; ho pulpit to get oven with people of the
world who overreach them , but a mlnla-
er In a corporate town of England , hav-
ng been affronted by tbo mayor of the
-own , who was a butcher , determined to
resist the assault. Accordingly , on the
'ollowlng Sunday , when preaching before
, lils corporation , ho Introduced thla
> raycr aa an occasional : "And since , 0
Liord , Thou hast commanded us to pray
ror our enemies herein , wo beseech Thee
"or the right worshipful tbo mayor. Give
lim the strength of Sampson and the
courage of David , that bo may knock
down aln like an ox and sacrifice iniquity
ike a Iamb , and may his house bo exalted
above his brethren. "
In ono rf the southwestern states lived
k father and son who were all very world
y-mlndcd people , and they gave the
Vlcthodiat preacher a great deal of anxie
ty , who labored long and earnestly for
their couvoraion , but apparently to llttlo
or no purpose. Ono day ho received a
call to go to the honso and offer up a
prayer for Jim , who had be on bitten by
rattlesnaktvxnd his death was momen
tarily expected. Ho Trent and prayed
n this wise : " 0 Lord , wo thank
Thee for all Thy manifold bleeaings. Wo
thank Thee for those that Thou sondoth
against our wishes. Wo thank thee for
rattlesnakes ; wo thank Thee that a rat
tlesnake has bitten Jim. Wo pray Thee
to send another ratUomako to bite Tom.
Wo pray Thee to send another rattle
snake to bite Jack , and , 0 Lord , wo pray
Theo to aond the biggest kind of a rattle
snake to bite the old man , for we verily
believe that nothing abort of rattlesnakes
will ever do this family any gocd. "
The natives of Olrcasaia and Georgia
bavo a praylng-maohlno called the "kur
da , " whlnh is a sacred utensil , and founc
in all their temples. It is a cyllndrica
vessel of wocd , or metal , either very
email or very larpe. In the center ia
a fixed Iron axle , but the interior of the
cylinder , which ia quito hollow , la filled
with aacrod writings , the loaves of wind
are all stuck to one another at the edge
throughout the whole length. A cloaa
cover is fixed at each end , arid the whole
"knrda" ia very neatly finished , printoi
on the outside with allegorical Inscrlp
tlons or Indian prayers , and varnished
Tbo cylinder is fastened upright In i
frame by the axis , so that tlie latter
by means of a wheel attached to ii
below , may bo cot ageing with a
siting , and with a alight pull kept in a
constant rjtary motion. When thla cyl
indcr is large another half as large anc
filled with writing la fixed for ornamon
at tbo top of It. The inscription on such
prayer-wheels commonly consists o
masses for souls , psalms , and the eir
grot general litanies , In which the mot
moving petitions era preferred for th
welfare of all creatures. The text the ;
sometimes repeat a hundred or even S
thousand times , attributing from sapor
stitlou a proportionately augmented of
tact to thla petition , and believing tha
by theae frequent copies , combined wit ]
their thousands of resolutions , they wll
prove so much the more efficacious. On
the dwellings of prletts and on the roof
of temples theae small machines ar
sometimes seen placed iu rows by way o
ornament , They are not only placoc
over gates , but even set np ia fields am
so odjmted that they will move by th
wind , ' four sails like spoons hollowed out
bcinc ; adjusted to them.
There are similar kurdas fastened to
atlcka of moderate thickness ; a leaden
weight Is then fastened to the cylinder
> y a string , which , when it la once sot
n motion , keepa It , with tbo help of
.ho stick , constantly going. Such pray *
or-whoola , neatly wrought , nro fastened
upon short ttlcks to a small wooden ped
estal , and stand upon the altara for the
use of pious persona. Whllo the
irayor-whoel la thus turned around with
mo hand the devotee takes the rosary
n the other , and at the same time ro *
icata penitential psalms. Kurd us. are
omotlnics sot in ohlmnoya and kept In
motion by the smoke and current of air

John Ward was a member of parlia
ment and a very wealthy man in Pope's
Imo. The latter has damned htm to
iverlaatlng fame , ia company with
'Waters Chartoria and the devil. "
lo actually made the following
dd prayer , which waa fint
irlntod In i 'og'a Journal. " 0 Lordl
1'hou knowoth that I have nine houses In
bo city of London , and likewise that I
mvo lately purchased an estate In fee
implo in the couuty of Essex. Lord I
beseech The to preserve the two counties
f Essex and Middlesex from fires and
tarthqnakca ; and , as I have a mortgage in
n Hertfordshire , I bog Theo likewise to
two on eye of compassion onthat ) county ,
aid , Lord , aa for the rest of the counties
? hon mayoat deal with them as Thou ait
> loased. O , Lord , enable the bank to
nswor all their bills , and make all my
obtors good men. Give a prosperous
voyage and return to the Mermaid sloop ,
rhlch I have inanrod , and , Lord , Thou
last said that the days of the wicked are
hort , and I trust that Thou wilt not for
got Tby promises , having purchased an
istato in rovernatlon of Sir T. P. , a profi-
; ate young man. Lord , keep our funds
com sinking , and if it bo Thy will let
hero be no sinking fund. Keep my son
} alob out of evil company , and from
; amlng houses. And Sanctify 0 Lord ,
his night to mo from thieves and fire ,
ud make Thy servant honest and carofnl
whilst I , Thy aorvant , lie down In Thee ,
) , Lord. Amen.
The philanthropist Jonas Hanway once
dvortised for a coachman , and among
ho humorous applicants was ono whom
10 told ho would employ , provided his
ccommondations proved trustworthy.
'But , I am a rather particular man , and
lerhapa I ought to Inform you that every
ivening , after the work at the stable Is
.one , 1 shall expect you to coma to my
IOUBO for a quarter of an hour to attend
amily priyors. To this , 1 snppuae. you
an bavo no objections. " "Well , air , "
aid the man , scratching his head , "I do
not see much to say against It , but I hope
rou will cinalder It iu my wages. "
Sir William Wlndham said that the
hortoat prayer ho ever heard was from a
ommon soldier , just bafora the battle of
Blenheim : " 0 God , If there bo a God ,
ave my aonl , If I have a soul. "
"Your prayer , Sir William , " said Bieh-
p Atterbury , who was at the same table
wllh him , "Is Indeed very short , but I
emomber another BB short , but much
letter , offered up likewise by a poor
ioldior under tbo came circumstances :
0 God , If ia the day of battle I forgot
Thee , do not forgot mol"
Many a slight sarcasm has boon thrown
out in the form of a prayer. A Presby-
erian minister In the reign of King
William III. , performing public wor
ship In the town church at Edinburgh ,
mode this prayer : "Lord have mercy
upon foola and idiots , and particularly
upon the town council of Edinburgh. "
A definition both pithy and pertinent
was Robert Hall's family prayer : "It
a the edge and the border which keeps
: ho web of life from unraveling. "
Prayers for weather have boon fra-
quontly offered up , but probably none
over mot with the response that came
'rom Dr. K , an eccentric but straight
forward New England preacher : "Tho
: eel , " ho said , "who wants mo to pray
for rain ought to know there'll bo no rain
lill the moon changes. " The man was
considerably blufled at this Intensely
practical view of the subject that the
[ > arsou took , but that evening the clergy
man wont to attend a missionary mooting
Bomo distance In the country , and a violent
lent storm arose ; ho lost his IIOIMO and
buggy by the heavy rain in ono of the
creeks , much to the enjoyment of the
man who wanted the rain prayed for.
