A BIT OF HISTORY.
Wifely Act of Devotion by Whioh the
Alabama Was Saved.
It is perhaps not generally known
that the Alabama, in spite of the
omission of the English customs
authorities to seize her, might in the
end have been detained but for an
act of wifely devotion. On the 23d
ana tun. ot July, 1862, evidence di
rect inculpating the vessel was com
municated by the American legation
in London to the British foreign of
fice. On the 23d and 26th of July
the papers weie referred to the law
officers of the crown and, as the
law officers had no permanent office,
were sent, as usual, to the senior of
ficer, who was then Sir John Dor-
ney Harding, queen's advocate, his
associates being Sir William Ather-
ton, attorney general, an'LSir Roun
del! .Palmer, afterward Lord Sel
borne, solicitor general.
Unfortunately Sir John Hardin?
had just then fallen a victim to an
acute mental disorder which proved
to be fatal, but which his wife, in
the hope that it would soon pass
away, had kept a secret. Upon the
decision to be rendered by the law
officers there hung perchance the
issues of peace and war and the fate
of nations. But the papers lay un
examined at Sir John s residence
apparently till the 28th of July,
when the foreign office, growing
anxious at the delay, but ignorant
of its cause, took steps to recover
them and placed them in the hands
of Sir William Atherton.
On the evening -of the same day
Sir William, perceiving the gravity
of the situation' which the papers
disclosed, called Sir Eoundell Pal
mer into consultation upon them in
the earl-marshal's room in the house
of lords. They at once agreed that
the vessel must be seized. Ah opin
ion to that effect was delivered to
Earl Eussell on the morning of the
29th of July, but during the night
of the 28th the Alabama left the
docks in which she had been lying.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of the
29th she put to sea. The order to.
detain her reached Liverpool in the
afternoon. John Bassett Moore in
Harper's Magazine.
Th. Romancing Arab.
The Arab is such a romancer him
self that he looks with suspicion on
every statement he cannot verify
personally. An incident, described
by the British participant in it, il
lustrates this Arab characteristic:
A sheik was discussing with the
commandant of a British vessel the
points of a Turkish gunboat which
lay before them in one of the har
bors. The Arab thought the gun
boat more powerful than that of any
British vessel he had seen. The con
clusion he at once drew and frankly
expressed was to the effect that Tur
key was a greater naval power than
Great Britain. He was shown a pic
ture of the channel fleet, but that
did not alter his impression. "These
are onlv pictures." he said. It is
easy to make pictures." '
On.' Way Out of th. Difficulty.
A eentleman had a colored, serv
ant who could not be taught to serve
things at the left hand of guests at
the table. At length the gentleman
hit ' upon an ingenious : expedient.
Coats were then worn single breast
ed, and he told Caesar that be must
always hand the plates and other
dishes to the guests on tne ounon
hole side This plan worked admi
rably for some time, but one day
there came a foreign guest who wore
a double breasted coat Poor Caesar
in dismay looked first at one side of
it and then at the other, and finally,
casting a look of despair at his mas
ter, be exclaimed, muttons on do
sides, massal" and handed the plate
ririit over the eentleman's head.

TRIED TO BE IMMORTAL
But Louis XIV. Foiled Leuvois' Efforts
on Eaoh Oeoaalon.
Very few people are aware that
Louis XIV.'s great and vain war
minister, Louvois, under whom the
Hotel des Invalidea was built, was
anxious to immortalize himself by
having his coat of arms carved side
by side with those of the "Roi So
leiL' but that the king on learning
oi it naa tnem ettaced. r oiled in
this, Louvois left a secret clause in
his will ordering that his remains be
deposited in the vault of the In
valides, which order was complied
with by the then curate, M. de Mau-
roy. Again the king frustrated the
proud man's design by having the
Doay removed.
As though he had had a present!'
ment of this posthumous ostracism,
ijouvoi8 naa taken other measures to
leave an enduring souvenir of him
self in connection with the historical
edifice. He prevailed upon a sculp
tor, who stood too much in awe of
the powerful minister to dare re
fuse, to carve the crests of five of
the oeil de boeuf mansardes on the
eastern wing, overlooking the Coeur
d'Honneur, in the following fash
ion: On the head of a wolf floup) rest
ing on his paws and looking down
into the yard, thus making the play
of the words oh his name "Loup
voit," the other four representing
a panache of ostrich plumes, the at
tributes of a grand seigneur; a pow
der barrel in the act of exploding,
as a symbol of war): an owl and a
bat, the two latter the emblems of
vigilance, a virtue that was his spe
cial boast. These souvenirs, carved
in stone, are there today and may
interest many a visitor. When, after
Louvois' death, the king heard of
this petty combination of vanity, he
is said to have uttered, with a shrug
of his shoulders; "Poor fellow! I
That is just like him."
A Queer Custom.
In certain cities of high civiliza
tion one has to pay for the priv
ilege of being run over instead of
recovering damages for injuries so
received!) So the administration of
what is called justice in India may
prove rather exacting to the crim
inal.
Several natives were arrested
there on suspicion of having com
mitted a crime. They were impris
oned, but before they came to trial
the real culprit confessed his guilt.
The story was told to Sir Mon
tagu Gerard, who asked: ,
"Well, have the poor fellows been
released?"
"No," said the native officer who
brought the news,; "certainly not,
until they have paid up.
"Paid up? ForwhatP'

"John," said Mrs. Makepeace,
coming out on the back porch where
her husband sat tilted back in his
chair, his feet on the railing, "didn't
I hear you tell the minister when he
Was here that you were deeply in
terested in temperance i-injove-ments?"
"Yes," Mr. Makepeace , replied
rather stiffly. "I said so, .and you
know that I am."
"WelL" said Mrs. ..Makepeace,
"suppose you go and make a few of

He PrvfaiTMl to Ml Cattle.
It is a matter of common history
that bribery and corruption were
largely resorted to in order to effect
the union of England and Scotland,
which took place in 1707. - Lord
Seafield, the chancellor of the last
Scottish parliament, accepted a gift
of 500 to vote for the union and
was reproached by bis brother for
taking this bribe. His lordship re
taliated i by calling bis brother a
cattle dealer.
"WeeL" was the brother's reply to
this taunt, "better Mil cattle than
nations."

Charlotte Observer.
In connection with assertions of
Rev. P R Law and of The Observer
regarding the disposition to pass
around political position, in North
Carolina rather than continue in of
fice good men that the State may
profit by their experience and in
creased influence, and the folly of
such a course as exemplified in the
recent National Democratic conven
tion. The Raleigh Post say.
"Yes, and it is strange, the idea
that a man must be 'at the front'
a publio office-holder to be regard
ed as one of the biggest men. But
it seem, that is the correct view of
the situation, so far aa the exercise
of influence in conventions is con
cerned. And it la wrong, wrong in
principle and practice." Our con
temporary is right about this feature
of the matter, which we did not an
dertake to pass on. . However, it is
a condition and not a theory and
needs to be dealt with , after the
more important reform, are inau
gurated. A. The Post aaya, ' - in
North Carolina "the rank and file of
the Democratic party have as much
confidence in the intergrity and size
of many private citixens as they
have in the men they have elevated
to office." But unless these private
citizen, come forward they are .like
ly to remain mere "private citizens"
and when they ran up their light
ning rods they become politician, to
more or less degree. Aside from
this,-however, we are glad to see
thst our main contention meet, tbe
approval of our Raleigh contem
porary, which says :
"We agree with bim (Rev. P. ; R.
Law) and with The Observer, that
it is bad policy to turn good men
nut of office last when they . are
reaching tbe point where they can
assert and commend influence, in
order that some one else who has
claim against the party may get the
place. That is a cheap and a low
order of statesmanship. All things
being equal, and the opportunity at
hand without detriment to the in
terests of the public, it is right and
i roper to reward party service, . bat
it should always be put upon high
er ground than , the mere payment
of a party debt ; Bad government
is likely to result from such a prac
tice.
The Observer bite tbe nail on
the head when it aay. : "The men
who have any influence at Wash
ington and who are able to render
the best service to their constituents
and the oountry at large are those
who have had year, oi experience."
That is true and should be recog
nized in a larger measure by the
people at large. We have had
too much political debt paying by
term, in" Congress. However, let'.:
take credit for what we have done j
We kept Gen Matt Ransom in the

twenty-four yean. We kept Zebu-!
Ion B. Vance there from 1879 until
his death in 1893. Ransom would
have have staid there lodger but for
the fact that we Democrats got lick-'
ed and could not elect bim any
more. ' It Jias the same in the case
of Senator Jarvia, who filled the un
expired term of Senator Vance.
If our contemporary win pardon
the statement, we will say that we
had In mind tbe cases of Ransom
and Vance when writing of tbe pres
ent disposition in North Carolina
to allow member, of both branches
of CoDgrese only limited terms, us
ing tba positions to discbarge politi
cal obligations. ' Ransom and Vance

WILD FLOWER PHOTOS.
Practical Suggastlone Per Guidance of
the Amateur.
The wild flower photographer has
a somewhat shorter season than he
who goes in for landscape. Never
theless in most parts of the country
he can count on eight working
months. To my mina, two of the
most important points in photo
graphing a wild flower , are .to show
the kind of place it grows in and to
show the character of the flower it
self. It is better, I think, to bring
out these two points in separate pic
tures, as it is only in exceptional
cases that it can be done successful
ly in one.
If, for example, we photograph a
swamp to show the habitat of pick
erel weed, the flower itself will ap
pear so small in the picture that we
can tell little of its growth or struc
ture. My own plan is to make a pic
ture of the locality, showing, if pos
sible, the position of the Bower, and
then to single out a typical specimen
snd make of that' a portrait which
will -reflect the character of the orig
inal. When I have found a bloodroot or
other wild flower which I wish to
photograph, I first walk around it
to find the best point from which to
take its portrait Having found that
point I set up the camera and focus
carefully. All surroundings, such
sa leaves.' twigs or rrass, whicn do
not add to the picture or which in
terfere with the intelligibility of it
are carefully removed. .
Often 1 find a beautirui sower
growing in a position where it is im
possible to photograph it success
fully. In such case I simply dig' it
up and transplant it in the most
convenient and appropriate spot,
where its contour may be brought
out against the shadow of a stump,
a dark crevice in the rocks, a pool
