IllH Commission * Signed by An
drew .Inckson In lite letters.
Kansas City Times : "Como in ami
hear this story , " said the Hon. Thomas
L. James , as I stopped at thu door of the
directors' room of the Lincoln National
bank of New York this week. "Yon know
I'uy Director Cunningham of the navy ,
of course. He says that he has a letter
from Mr. I'nrnoll , which , when com
pared witli the London Times forgery ,
proves thu original of the latter spu
rious. "
"Yes , " said Mr. Cunningham , "and
there Is au interesting bit of history con-
nouted with tlio letter 1 havo. 1 said to
Mr. 1'arnoll one day that ho caino honestly -
ostly by his hatred of British opprrssion ,
lor hisgramlfatllor , Hoar Admiral Charles
Stewart , was one of the bnst lighters who
evcrshcdlustroon the United States navy ,
and the only ollicur .sine John Paul Jones
who , with ono ship in n fair light ,
captured two of the enemy. Ho didn't
seem to know much about it , but the
country was wild with enthusiasm over
it at the tlmo. It was in February , 1815 ,
as you remember , that Captain Stewart's
ship , the Constitution , fell In with the
Hritish ships of war Cyano , thirty-four
guns , and Levant , twcnty-ono guns , oil'
me coast of Spam , and after a light of
forty minutes captured both. Stewart lost
throe mon killed and thirteen wounded ,
while the rncmy lost thirty-live killed
and forty-two wounded. The Levant
was subicqucnty recaptured by the 15i it-
Ish squadron of throe ships , which
reached the American position under
cover of a dense fog , but Stewart saved
his own ship and the Cyano and kept his
prisoners. When ho returned to this
country ho was presented by the com
mon council of Now York with the free
dom of the city in a gold boxand , with his
otllccr.s was entertained at a great public
dinnor. The legislature of Pennsylvania
voted him a gold-hilled sword , ana con
gress tendered him a vote of thanks , and
ordered n gold modal struck in his
honor.
"I told Mr. Parncll this , and that I had
his grandfather's commission as commo
dore , signed by President Andrew Jack
son. That commission is n curiosity. In
the first place , it was written by hand : all
the commissions of United Sta'os olilcers
wore written before the time of President
Van Huron ; after that they wcro printed
in ordinary type until the time of General
Grant. Now they are beautifully engraved.
The parchment in Andrew JaoKson's time
was coarse , llko leather , and almost as
thick as this shoot of blotting paper.
Jackson's signature on Commuuoro
Stewart's commission is a remarkable
ono. The lirst initial is at least thrco
inches long and correspondingly heavy ,
and the remainder of the nnmo is proportioned
tioned to the lirst letter. You can imagine
how Jackson , when ho took his pen to
write it , said : 'Now , this is for my old
friend , Charley Stewart , nnd I'll give him
n signature that will show him that I
moan it. '
' Old Hickory did things for effect ,
sometimes , you know. Chief Justice
Tanoy told me of a rcmarkablo instance.
He was with Jackson when a committee
from Philadelphia was announced , who
desired to see him about the United
States bank. Ho was in a most affable
mood , but said to Tancy : 'Imust , pre
pare myself for the reception. ' . Ho
stalked up and down the room for a
minute or two , ran his lingers through
his hair , put his clothing awry , and grow
red in the face. When the committee
came in ho roared at and bullied tliem.
anil after they had gone , asked Tanoy it
ho didn't think ho had propcrlv impressed
them.
"I offered to give Mr. Pnrnoll his
grandfather's commission , and when ho
received it he wrote me the letter 1 re
ferred to. Good day. I'm off for Wash-
"ngton. "
PAY DAY AT FOR ! ROBINSON.
How the Boys In Blue Beguile the Bottle
tle and the Loaded Dice.
Crawford ( Neb } Crescent : The troops
hero were paid off ou the Oth inst. , and
Paymaster Dash departed on the 7th.
Immediately after payment the fun be
gan , fast and furious. A military post ,
on pay day presents a lively spectacle.
No sooner are the companies dismissed
than a grand rush ix made tor the post
trader's sajoon , where our genial friend
the champion cork-puller. Green , stands
waiting with sleeves rolled up , armed
with a cork-screw , ready for the fray.
Behind him are cases and kegs of foam
ing lager. "Six beers horol" "four
wines here ! " "cigars this way , " yell the
crowd from every side. Corks Hy and
bottles are emptied aa if by magic. Ci
gars are then lit and the boys are ready
for the business of the day. The gam
blers are now on dock. Just imagine a
crowd of from ono to two hundred men
in a single small room , trampling and
jostling each other in their eagerness to
reach the small tables wnere
the "dealers" have piled up
their money to break or bo broke ,
devil a bit do they care which. A peddler ,
grip-sack filled with snide jewelry in
Hand , enters , ho is hustled aside , no ono
cares to look at his wares. Anxious
creditors , in search of long standing debta
peer iu at the .veiling crowd and vainly
try to attract attention , but no ono sees
them , no one hears them. The boys are
all rustling for a "stake. " The betting
is fast and reckless. Twenty , thirty ,
forty and oven lifty dollars are unhesitat
ingly stacked on the turning of a card.
Wiiat a yell of delight arises as some
luoky better rakes iu a largo bet , and
how the dealer shuttles his deck often
with the sweat running down his fore
head as the pile of mouoy in front of
him steadily decreases. And well may
ho sweat , for in H few more bets his capi
tal m trade has vanished with startling
rapidity , and the lucky winner , clutching
a couple of hundred dollars inr.nchhami
is hustled off to his quarter by his friends
for the luck may turn. As wo glance
over the tables , the scone is intensely
dramatic. On cither side extend the rows
of cards almost buried beneath the piles
of coin and greonbaeks.aggrogating htm
dreds of dollars. A breathless silence
falls on the anxious crowd , whoso gaze
is fastened with a devouring intensity
on each tell-tale bit of pasteboard , as the
dealer blowly draws it forth , und a.s ho
rakes oil' the losing card , the individua
whose all was perhaps staked on it , stops
back and makes place for another txpec
taut winner. The garrison police are
also on Uio alert and the tscrecant of the
guard keeps a sharp look-out for civiliai
* 'tin horns , " who will often run the

London Tlegraph : The memory of
lie loss of 20i ,000 of silver and gold
will survive the loss of 1,000 eouls In a
otip. There was the Lutlne , for in-
tnnco. faho was of thirty-two guns ,
ommaiulod bv Captain Skyiiner.anit she
vent ashore on the bank of the Fly island
mssairu on the night of October 9 , 1TI ! ! ) .
Vt lirs-t she was reputed to have had
000,000 worth of specie on board. This
vas afterward contradicted .by a state-
ucnt that "the return from the bullion
olllco makes the whole amount JL'l 10,000
torliiig. " "If , " I find in a contemporary
lucount. "thu wreck of the unfortunate
'Utinc should be discovered , there may
jo reason to hope for the recovcrv of the
bullion. "
In the reign of James II. some English
adventurers iittcd out a vessel to searcher
or and weigh up the cargo of the rich
Spanish ship which had been lost on the
coast of South America. They succeeded
and brought home 300,000 , which had
boon forty-four years at the bottom of the
ca. Captain Plnpps. who commanded ,
lad ' . ' 0,000 for his share , anil the duke
of Albemarlo 00,000. A meth'l was
Blruck IP honor of this event in 1U37.
There was a very costly wreck in 1707.
> ho was a Dutch Kast Indiatnan and
bundcrod within three leagues of the
1'cxcl , takiug down all hands but six
nnd 500,000. The price of four such
vrm.'tdas as that of 1538 wont down in the
ast century alone In the shape of gold ,
silver and plate. She was the annual
register ship , as the term then was , nnd
lad in her 500,001) ) piastres and 10.000
ounces of gold on account of the king ,
and twice- that sum on the merchants'
tccount , making her a very rich shin.
She foundered and no man escaped to
: cll how and when.
In the same year the Dutch lot the
Antoinetta , an Imliaman , and with her
sank 700,000 sterling , besides jewels of
great value. The Hoyal Charter is the
nest notable modern instance of the
wreck of a "treasure" ship that lean
| ust now cull to mind. She loft Australia
with 330,000 In her. Of this Bum , says
Charles Dickens , in his chapter on this
dreadful shipwreck In "The Un-
commercial Traveler , " 300,000
worth were recovered at the time
of thu novelist's visit to the spot where
she had driven ashore. "The great bulk
of the remainder , " writes Dickens , "was
surely and steadily coming up. Some
loss of sovereigns there would bo , of
course : indeed , "at first , sovengns had
drifted in with the sand and been scat
tered far and wide over the beach , like
sea shells , but most other golden treas
ures would bo found. So tremendous
liad the force of the sea been when it
broke the ship that it had beaten one
great ingot of gold dcop into a strong
and heavy piece of her solid iron work ,
in which also several loose sovereigns
that the ingot had swept in before it had
boon found as firmly imbedded as though
the iron had Deon liquid warn they had
boon forced there. " This Is a curiosity
of disaster , but mightily suggestive of
the sea's miserly trick of concealing her
plunder.
What Would the World Do
without women ? asks the essaist who
starts out to suy somcthig now on this
oft-troated subject. Of course , the
human clement of the world would not
exist without woman , so the question is
gratuitous. It would have boon far moro
sensible to ask : What would the world do
without the salvation of woman , without
n panacea , for her physical ills and euro
for her peculiar diseases. In a word ,
whit would the world do without Dr.
Piorce's "Favorite Porscription , " the
nrcat ; remedy for female weakness ? It
is Indispensable for the ills of woman
kind.
How the Monte Cnrlo Job Was Uonc.
Court Journal : This is how the organ
ized swindle on Wednesday afternoon
last is said to have boon done :
Just bcforo the commencement of a
deal at trcnto-ct-quaranto the attention
of the chef do parti and other employes
was drawn from the tablo. One noble
man wanted change for a 100 English
note ; another dropped a number of louis
on the floor , which always creates a dis
traction , a third raised a noisy dispute
over a previous ptakc. Meanwhile , a
fourth chevalier cleverly slipped a num
ber of cards on the top of tno six packs
about to bo dealt. The dealer was
m collusion with the rogues , and
received the prepared cards under
cover of a 1,000 franc note , passed up in
the usual way for change. Then the
little game began. Maximums wore
freely played at both ends of the table ,
and of course were won. The bank had
to renew its capital two or thrco times ,
and the excitement was immense.
The added cards being finished the as
sociation of thiovcs slipped away , but
suspicion was aroused. The packs were
counted , and sixty or seventy too many
cards being found the dealer was put
under arrest. Three hundred and eighty
thousand francs is the sum mentioned as
the spoil carried off ; but bona fide play
ers also followed the load of tno appar
ently luoky punters , and it is said the
loss of the bank was not fur short of
30,000. The implicated dealer has been
sent out of the country , as legal proof
would bo diflicult , and the administra
tion are anxious to have the matter kept
quiet.

HEARTLESS CKVELTY
t Is to delude a poor sufferer Into the belle
that some worthless liniment will cure
rheumatism and neuralgia. Honesty is the
best policy in the manufacture of proprie
tary articles as in all other matters , and the
fact that the proprirtor * of Athlophoros
have never claimed forMt even all its mer
its would warrant has not a little to do
with its wonderful popularity , and the
thousands ol grateful testimonials received
by them show that their policy has been
wi e as well as right ,
Experience has amply demonstrated that
mere outward applications are worthless.
The disease has its scat in the blood and
any remedy to be sitcceislul must deal
with the obstructive acid which poison and
Inflames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood , muscle *
and joints directly. It takes the poison out
of the blood and carries it out of the sys
tem ; it invigorates the action of the muscles
and limbers the stiffness of the joints. It
reaches the liver and kidncjs , cleansing
them from irritating substances , and if fol
lowed up after the rheumatic conditions
cease , it will restore these organs to regu-
