Captain John Quick , a Now Vorko
by birth , a mariner by profession , a vet
eran of the Mexican and the civil wars ,
and a resident of Onlvoston , Tox. , oil
nnd on for forty years , related to n cor
respondent of the Now York Times the
following touching story :
"Ono of HID saddest sights I over wit
nessed during my Mimcwliat varied ex
perience occurred right in this harbor
during the late war. You all know that
flnlveaton was surrendered tothofedotal
fleet commanded by Commodore Ken-
Bhaw in October , 1802 , without any de
fense whatever.
"Well , tliis raised a howl of indigna
tion all over the Htnto , and Hrigadlcr
General Paul O. Hob-it of Louisiana
who was in command of the department ,
was suspended , and Major General John
Hatmhcail Maprudor was sent from Vir
ginia to assume command. Magrmlor
was feint of wine , women and lighting ,
nnd nl ways luul a lot of women dangling
lit his heels , who were generally known
' as 'Miigruder's second stafT. ' Ho deter
mined to recapture the place , and fo. '
this purpose- lilted up tlio > 'lvor steamers
Hayou City and Neptune No. 2 with
barricades of cotton bales and trans
formed them into gunboats.
"Wo had also quilo a. land force at
Virginia Point , a few miles across the i
bay from the city , where formidable
earth works had been thrown up to pro
tect the railway bridge which connected
Galvcston island with the mainland.
The federal forces consisted of the men-
of-war Wcstliold , Harriet Lane , Ciiflon ,
Sachem and Owasco , and sovcral trans
ports. There were also three compa
nies of the Forty-second Massachusetts
infantry , commanded by Colonel Hurroll
barricaded on one of the wharves.
"On the night of December HI , 1802 ,
Magrudor commenced moving his land
forces from A'irglnia Point to the city ,
and massed his artillery at the head of
several of the wharves \vhcrc they could
open llro on the gunboats In the harbor
t dawn. Al the signal of attncu the
'cottonclade , ' which were to bo waiting
a few miles further up the bay , were to
Btcnm down and ongiigo the gunboats.
"Mugrudcr IIred the first gun , and the
notion soon became general all along the
line , and within half an hour the con-
fcdorites had been driven from their
guns and retired in disorder out of
range. At this juncture the Votton-
olnils , ' under Coininouoro. Leon Smith ,
came steaming down. The first vessel
encountered by thorn was the Harriet
Jjiino , which was promptly attacked and
was fought vigorously. The Lane sunk
the Neptune , but the Bayou City
ran into her and became en
tangled in her wheel. Sharpshooters
cleared her docks , nnd she wna
carried by boarding , Captain Wain"
wright , father of Marie "Wninwright ,
the actress , being shot dead on the
bridge as lie was giving orders ns to the
method of lighting his ship.
"Tho second in command of the Harriet
riot Lane was Liontoinmt Edward Lea ,
who had remained by tho'old ling'when
his native state seceded from the union.
His father , Major Albert M. Lea , for
whom the town of that name in Minnesota
seta is namedhad cast his fortunes with
the confederacy , and was with Mngru-
dcr's forces. Father and son had not
met for yearn , for when the war broke
out the young lieutenant , then a mid
shipman , was in the China Boas.
"Shortly after Wninwright was shot
dead Lieutenant Lea fell mortally
wounded , was carried below , and the
ship surrendered. Major Lea being ac
corded permission , went on board and
asked if his son was aboard.
"An ollicer replied : 'Yes , and badly
wounded. '
" 'I tun his father. '
" 'Yep , 1 see ; come with me. '
"Ho was led to his son. who was lying
in the cockpit , surrounded by the dead
and dying.
" 'Edward , it is your father. '
" 'Yes , father , I Know you , but I can
not move. '
" 'My son , are you badly wounded ? '
" 'Yes , fpther , but I hope not mor
tally. '
"Major Lea then turned to the sur
geon. Dr. Penroso of Philadelphia , and
iihkcd if his POII was mortally wounded.
The reply was 'Yes. '
" 'How long has ho to 11 vo ? '
' " 'Perhaps an hour , possibly some
'days. '
' 'Is It best to leave him hero to die
or lake him ashore } "
" 'Wo may be llreil on hero by the
fleet ; bolter take him ashore at onco. '
"Ho handed homo brandy to the father
for the son , who , thus revived , said :
" 'Father , 1 am now senior olllcor of f
this ship. I wish you to arrange with i
General Magrudor to allow the wounded
men to bo Bent to Now Orleans by water
to save the HulTorlng from transportation
by land to the interior. '
" 'Oh , my son , don't trouble voursolf f
about that now. The whole Hoot nnd
the troops are about to surrender and bo
Bout to Now Orleans. '
"Tho lieutenant then frowned nnd
turned away his face.
"His father then loft the ship to look
for n conveyance. When ho mot Gen i-
eral Magrudor on the wharf and told
him of his son the general said : 'Good
God , Lea , I had no idea of this. TnUo
him to my ciuni'tcrs. ' Uoforo Major Lou
returned to the Harriet Lane his son
hail died , his last words being : 'Mv
father is horo. '
"While this incident was transpiring
on board the Harriet Lane the other
gunboats were preparing to evacuate
the harbor , and the thrco companies ol
Mnet-aohiitioltH troops on the wharf BUT
rendered. The tlagshlp Wcstllold
under Commodore Konahnw , was hart
nnd fnbt aground on the Halt * abreast of
Pelican Spit. It was determined t to <
blow up iho vessel , and the crow win
removed to the transports Saxon am
M , A. iiunrdman , and a blow match up
plied to the nuigii/.lno.
"It did not go oil as soon ascxpoctci
nnd a boat's crew was bent to boo wha
was the matter. No snonur had th <
bout hauled alongside the West fled thai
u tremendous explosion occurred , wliiul :
was hoard for ninety miles , and boa
and crow \\oro scattered in'.o'u thousuti id <
' fragments. Those in the boat who la *
tholr lives were Commodore Koiibhaw
Lloutonnnt Zlmmormun , Gunner's Mat
Cullulmii , Quarter Guniiur King , Cox
BWiiln Kassor , Seamen Hethl.e , Hibbard
Johnson nnd McDonald , nnd Firomo
Cox , Heave and McCabo. The rest c
the llcol then got oil for New Orleans as
fast ns possible ,
"Tho day after the battle the remain
of Captain Wninwright and Lluutonun
Ixw were interred in the Bplscopii
cemetery with military honors , all lie
tin I ted Stales Oillcorfl , General Miiffrn-
dcr nnd BtnlT , nnd other nftlcor * being
present. No ulorgymnn of the Kpl copal -
pal churoh being prcsiint , Mnjor Lea
road tlio service himself from bis son's
praynr book , In dcferonoo to the sun *
loscd wishes of hia son nnd of C.iptaln
Yalnwrlghl , who was the son of the
Kpificop.itliin bishop of Mrooklyn.
' 'After the sorvleo Mnjor Loa nindo a ,

coincidence , ' said ho , 'this sad

relation to ono another In this bloody
struggle and to realize that there are
good and conscientious men on both
sides. They are now in this mourning
group They who now Ho til our foot

tread lightly over their graves. '
"A wnalthy cousin In IJaltlmoro asked

ViitiTHIn With ( Juoor U'miiMli ,
There were homo valorous with queer
records ) in attondunco at the recent en
campment in Washington. Onn of
these- , known familiarly as Comrade
Chase , who served in a Maine battery
during the war , carries Iho scars of forty
eight wounds received in a single b'lt-
tlo , th'it of Gettysburg. His numerous
wounds resulted from the explosion of a
spherical case immediately in front of
him ut that memorable battle. Corporal
John Burns of Ohio receives a pension
for a peculiar wound which is described
in the pension bureau as "shot in the
hip with a barrel of sugar. " Hums ,
says the Washington Post , w.ts on guard
duty at a sharp railroad curve in Vir
ginia during the latter part of the war ,
and was struck in the hip and disabled
by a barrel of sugar which was thrown
suddenly from the rickety car by the
momentum at the turn in ttic
road. Another veteran who was
present is recorded in Iho bureau
as having stopped a cannon
ball with his abdomen. lie was sittiifg
in a tent near headquarters when a spent
cannon ball cnino bounding along and
struck him in the stomach with snlli-
ciont foreo to knock him hors do combat ,
but not to kill him.
Still another queer case is that of a
Pennsylvania votoran. lie was rendered
totally deaf by a cannon ball which
whi'//ed by his heaa in uncomfortably
oloso proximity at Iho battle of Malvorn
Hill. In describing the sensation after
wards ho said it felt for an instant as if
fifty c.yclonos had burst loose about his
bond. The concussion also paralyzed
him for several minutes. There is an
other pensioner who receives a monthly
allowance from Uncle Sam's till for a
"horso bite of the neck. " Ho was a
cavalryman , und claims to have been
bitten by a vicious animal while .serving
with Sheridan in his valley ride. The
bile resulted in partial paralysis of this
spine. These are but a few illustrations
of the vurious and multitudinous pecu
liarities of war which were represented
til the grand tinny encampment.
An liifliltiitVltli a .Moral.
A touching incident came to the at
tention of Tin : HKK Bureau of Claims
the other day. A lady visited the ollico
in tears. She said that she had como
all the way from California to save her
land and the bureau had caused her to
lese it. She had visited the general
land ollico and tlio olllcials there had
told her that they could do nothing for
her. They said that TillBIK : bureau
hart represented the other side and had
won its case , as it usually did. They told
her that her best course was to call on
the bureau for advice , assuring her that
she could depend upon trustworthy
counsel. She followed the suggestion.
Upon Investigation it was discovered
that the land upon which nor homo was
situ-tied belonged to a client of the
bureau , for whoui , at hlsbpccial request ,
a patent hud been secured in the
shortest possible time. The record
was clear and there were no
names of contestants on the
hooka of the land ollico. The name of
the lady who had journeyed across the
continent to save her land did not up-
pear there nt all , and of course the bu
reau had not been aware of her exist-
once until her suddonapnoaranco to pro-
test. Under these circ'uinstances the
only thing to do was to toll her that she
could have no hope of annulling tlio
patent already issued , and that her bast
course was to compromise with the
owiuii1 of the land. This she decided to
do , and she left in much bettor spirits ,
fully contented with the course of the
bureau.
It may seem blransro that a family
should leave its right to a homo dopund-
ont upon tlio mcro chance of not bulng
disturbed , without taking any legal stops
to sui'iint it , but Mich eases occur
every day. And still more frequently
tlio Bottler complies with the formalities
of the law to an extent just sulllciont to
lull him into a falao security , without
- giving him any real protection. Hero
is where wo find ono of tlu prlncip.il
advantages of such nn institution us
Tin : Hun Bureau of Claims. It gives
the title of the botller that impartial I ,
critical examination which ho is not
usually able to giyo for himself , and
thus enables him to correct defects in
time. It could be still moro useful if it
were always called In soon enough. It
is as true in law its in medicine that Itn
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
euro. .It is easier and safer to do ifa
h thing right at the start than to correct ! t
it after it him been done wrong.
For this reason seniors should no
wall until contests huvo been institutes
ng.iinst them , through their negligence
to before calling in the aid of Tin : BII
x- Bureau of Claims. They should applj
d. while everything is apparently clear
311Of submit all tholr papers , eoo that unj

A curious statement regarding the
disaster to the American and Ocrman
warshipH in the famous hurricane at
Samoa on March 1C , 1SW ) , is made by
Uobort Louis Stovetihon in hisnowboolc ,
"Kight Voars of Trouble in Samoa. ' It
will bo remembered that tliis liurricano
occurred when the political troubles in
the island \vcro at their holyhl , and
great jealousy existed among the sev
eral white nations represented there.
In that hurricane the three American
warships and the three Gorman war
ships stationed at Apia wore wrecked
together with some fifteen merchant
vessels. The Hrltish wa'ahip Calliope
was the only man-of-war that escaped ,
and she steamed out to sea and outrode
the storm. Mr. Stevenson says the loss
of the warships was rather a political
than a nautical catastrophe. Under
ordinary circumstances , ho says , they
would and could have steamed out of the
harbor at the first sign of the hurricane ,
and could ha.vo easily escaped. Hut the
jealous and hostile fooling between the
Germans and Americana was so great
that neither was at alt inclined to
up anchor and steam out to curtain
safety leaving the other in occupation
of the harbor. Mr. Stevenson blames
the Germans lor the whole of the trouble
in Samoa.

The most costly book in the world is
the missal sent by Pope Leo X. to Henry
VIII. of England , at the time when the
title , defender of the faith , was confer
red on that much-married monarch.
For a number of years the booic re
mained crown property , but Charles II. ,
who had little use for missals , gave it to
the ancestor of the duico of Hamilton ,
in where family it remained until a few
years ago , when the library of the duke
was sold at auction. The missal was
purchased by the Gorman govern
ment , which paid for it in cash
the enormous sum of $30,000. A much
higher price than this , however , was
once olTered for a single volume. In
151 : ! Pope Julius IL was in need of money
and endeavored to borrow. Ho was at
that time , the possessor of a Hebrew
bible , which , for some cause , tlio Jewish
people of Venice desired to purchase.
Tr.cy ottered to pay its weight in gold
for the book , which was so heavy that
the united strength of two men could
hardly lift it. The book was weighed ,
and the estimate made of its weight in
gold was 5105,000. Julius deemed this
sum inadequate and declined to sell , so
that the Vatican Hebrew biulo is justly
entitled to the distinction of being the
most valuable book in the world.
