ery much interested. In fact the marshal was not unwilling to support Shelby's scheme. The Emperor, however, had faith in his people. He believed that his empire was safe, and he was averse to anything that would lead to trouble with the United States. With profuse thanks, he declined to help the Confederates to regain control of the department west of the Mississippi in return for their general's pledge to bring 100,000 southerners to fight for the empire. Maximilian had been advise big tract of land at Cordova for his colony? Bazaine gave him $50,000 in gold to aid the new settlement, and the general and hundreds of his friends began their life as colonists under the empire. Gradually the settlers returned to the United States, and their leader followed their example, not however, before he had, at the risk of his life, befriended Maximilian in a vain effort to save him from his Mexican murderers.

sponded to the toast of Robert E. Lee, and Colonel Henry Watterson, a soldier of the Confederacy, paid tribute to the character of Abraham Lincoln. Toast to Robert E. Lee. The opening toast, To the President and the Army and Navy of the United States: A Prince among the Rulers of the World and but the Servant of a Free People, was followed by the toast to General Lee, Nature Made Him and then Broke the Mold. In responding, Mr. Adams said: A New Englander by birth, descent, tradition? My suggestion was met with an answer to which I would now make reply. It was objected that such a memorial was to be provided for from the national treasury, and that Lee, educated at West Point, holding for years the commission of the United States, had borne arms against the nation. The rest I will not here repeat The thing was pronounced impossible. Now let me here explain myself. I never supposed that Robert E.

what Mr. Cleveland now proposes as the cure for the country's grievous embarrassment about the emancipated negro. The authoritative document referred to above, issued by the Government in Washington for the instruction of the people of the United States expressly declares that the best technical education that the world has ever seen or can ever hope to see was the education that was given by their masters to the negroes before their emancipation. There was good reason why it should be so. that he denied his slaves education. Is it not curious to observe that the highest authorities now say that it is necessary to change the existing system of education to one radically different, and to learn that the highest authority in the United States, the Department of Education, has conceded that the technical education to which we are turning had attained its highest perfection in the system of slavery which has disappeared? Another truth about slavery seems to have escaped the obser

r directing that Tom Martin be shot on the 5th of May, then only a few days off. General Willich, be it said to his praise, was dumfounded. To shoot the boy who had been his attendant for several months, to whom he had become much attached because of his faithful conduct and reliability, was too much for the brave and just old soldier of many wars and many battles. With tears in his eyes (it was said) and distress in his heart, he rushed to the office of Judge Stallo (subsequently United States Minister to Rome) and sought his aid in saving the boy's life. Judge Stallo in turn sought Judge W. M. Dickson and beseeched his interference. Meanwhile General Hooker had left the city to attend the funeral of Mr. Lincoln at Springfield, Ill., and the day set for the murder was near at hand. General Hooker could not be reached, so it was decided by General Willich and his friends to appeal to the President. They sent a telegram to a prominent man in Washington, urging him to go a

Thrilling Chapter [from the Richmond, Va, Dispatch, July 21, 1902.] In the history of the Confederate States Navy. Work of submarine boats. W. A. Alexander tells the story of Captain Hunley and his brave Assistants—How the Housatonic was destroyed in Charleston Harbor. Visitors to the Spanish Fort, says the New Orleans Picayune, may still see, half submerged in the weeds and flowers growing on the bank of bayou St. John, a rusty vessel of curious shape. It is built of iron, about twenty feet long, and besides a propeller at the stern, is adorned on either side by strangely-shaped board metal fins. This boat is, or ought to be, one of the most interesting relics of the Civil war. It was, as stated in the accompanying narrative, built during the war by Captain Hunley as a submarine torpedo-boat, and though never used in battle is the prototype of the vessel which subsequently destroyed the Federal cruiser Housatonic. Although within recent years a great deal has been wri

more filthy. The infamous order. The following is the infamous order issued by General B. F. Butler, while in command at New Orleans: headquarters Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, May 15, 1862. As officers and soldiers of the United States have been subjected to repeated insults from women calling themselves ladies of New Orleans in return for the most scrupulous noninterference and courtesy on our part, it is ordered hereafter that when any female shall, by mere gesture or movement, insult or show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States, she shall be regarded as a woman of the town plying her vocation. By command of Major-General B. F. Butler, George E. Strong, Adjutant-General. When Butler died the Nashville American had this to say: Old Ben Butler is dead! Early yesterday morning the angel of death, acting under the devil's orders, took him from earth and landed him in hell. In all this Southern country there are no tears, no sighs and

although with years the memory of the deed is dimmed. In broad daylight Captain Austin ran the blockade of the port with his ship, the Susanna, and brought provisions and war supplies to a distressed land. It was the last year of the struggle, the result of which was already foregone. Almost all of the blockaded ports along the Atlantic and the Gulf had been captured, and the entire Southern squadron was blockading the harbor. The story of the event, as told by the commander of the United States ship Seminole, which led the chase, has already been published in the New York World under the title of A Dash Through a Fleet. The authority for the tale already told was unacquainted with the identity of the captain of the vessel he had chased, but with due consideration gives him credit for being the coolest man that ever walked a quarterdeck. The Susanna was built on the Clyde, and was a long, low steamer built for speed and concealment. Time after time she had run into Galvest
