Naval officers generally concur in
; the belief that the disaster at-. Apia
eras the wwtAsmtie that. has erst
overtaken the American Navy in
i: time of peace. Commodore Walker,
Chief of the Navigation Bureau, an
g officer of long experience in naval
affairs, makes this statement emphat
ic Wally. His recollection of previous
naval losses from storm and stress,

follows:* ' . •
.The Albany,sloop'of war, was

- - She is supposed to have gone down

; crew, of 210 officers and men, as she
< was never heard from after she sail
t «don her' last Cruise. In the same
year the brig-of-war Porpoise, with
100 persons on board, went down in
the China seas without leaving a
trace of her end. In 1858 another
aloop-of-war, the Levant, went down
in the waters of the Pacific, taking
aome 200 men to “Davy Jones's
■ locker.” In 1803 the brig-of-war
' Hainbridge met a eyclone off Cape
Hatteras. A colored cook, picked
up a day or two afterwaid on a bit
of wreckage, told the story of the

The old Yorktown was blown

later, hut the crew escaped. In 1808
a gaeat tidal wave picked up the

her days as a hotel. The same tidal

‘ The Monongahela, how in active
service, had a peculiar experience in
1867. She was caught tap by a tidal

Crux, West Indies, knocking down
one of them, and deposited in the

Pacific about fifteen years ago.
The wreck of the Huron, although
it occurred thirteen years ago, is

the coast. The ship was wrecked
on Currituek Beach, N. C„ and few
of her crew escaped to tell the story

Commodore Walker think* that

Mr. Hayden, in charge of the pub
lication of the Pilot Chart, visited
Havana last September on purpose
" to study cyclones, and his descrip
tion of the great hurricane of Au

‘'What a tremendous engine of
destruction. Let us watch its origiu
~ and progress. Imagine to yourself
a hot, sultry August day in the tro
pics, off the Cape Verde Islands, at
about the nortnem limit of the belt
-T of equatorial raius and calms, where
- the northeast trades have become
fitful and irregular.
“Tbs uniformity of the trade sky
is disappearing, and the little masses
of cumulus elouds that have fleck
ed the sky from xeuith to horizon
gather together here and there as if
.. undecided what to do, and now and
then rise in tall, massive columns,
that grow before the eye and mouui

mass is seen, from which heavy rai*
is falling, with sometimes a moat

one of the toll nunen of cumulus,
off to the westward, taller and more
majestic than its mates, a slow gyra
tory motion can be detected which,
gathering strength, rapidly draws in
the warm air from below, saturated
with moisture, and sends it aloft in
to cooler and cooler regions, to add
rapidly to the growing and darken
ing masses of clouds. A new feature
catches tbs eye;. long, graceful,
snow-white, feathery plumes reach
out at the top of the mass, ‘projec
ted against the deep, clear azure sky.
Beneath them the shap, rounded,
upper edges of the now dark and
threatening cumulus begin to grow
misty and indistinct, and the inner
shaft of the radiatiug cirrus plume
are lost to sight in this' new misty
veil. Gradually, faint and then
sharp, dark horizontal lines appear
against the cumulus and rapidly
grow into stratus clouds, as -though
a fine rain were falling and settling
at the level. . Below, the distant
horizon was now obscured by heavy
rain. • Oft to the northeast some lit

they rise toward the zenith, some
mysterious fores to the westwaid

paths carve that way. What doe*

that direction you see more little

breeze is springing up from the east,
while the barometer ts falling slight

Alone amid English orators of
the first class, John Bright was a
stranger to the influences and tra

bear no marks of Greek and Lutin

their vigor is of the soil. Had he
be-in an ancient Athenian nr a mod

played a more complete indifference
to foreign models and imported em

Demosthenes that he many times
transcribed the work of his fellow
countryman, Thucydides, so John
Bright drew his limpid and captiva

been from youth his custom to store
his memory with the thoughts and
words of writers who have enriched
the English tongue. So that when
he came to speak in Parliament, his

SCIENCE AND CRIME.
A Third Article on the Subject
CaJUar*a Vjm. • ITmA. r
A case which excited great scien
tific interest in America, in theyeai
1849, was that of Dr. Parhman, wh«
was a well-known physician of Boa
ton. , He disappeared on November
23, 1846, and was last traced to ih<
laboratory of Prof. Webster, * lect
urer on themistiy. Suspicion hav
ing been aroused, Webster’s labera
tory was searched. Therin the
haunch-bones, left leg and right
thigh of a man were found. .These
remains were wrapped in towels
bearing Webster’s name. In the
refuse of the laboratory— furnace
fragments of skull-bones were
found. In this place also, the search
disclosed the blocks of artificial
teeth, and some melted gold. A tes
chest was next found, and in it were
discovered the trunk of a human
body, and the left thigh, the remains
having been covered with tar and
mineral matters. - The scientific ev
idence showed that these were all
parts of the same body. When they
were placed together these relics
showed that they formed part, of a
body, of which the head, arms, and
hands, both feet, and the right leg
from the kne ; to the ankle were mis
sing, but which at the same time
corresponded with the frame of the
missing men in every particular.
Dr. Parkmau at the time of his de
parture was sixty years of agB. The
cA.uiuiu<aiuu ui me BKCiewjii ^uiuieu
to-its being a man of about that,
age, Purkmun's height was five
feet seven inches, and the skeleton
pieced out, proportionately measur
ed, was found .to indicate a height of
five feet ten and one half inches. In
these points, therefore, the identity
of the remains seemed to he clearly
shown. But, as in the case of Caro
line Welsh, there were special points
in Dr; Parkmau's case which served
to place the identification well nigh
beyond a doubt. It was quite evi
dent that an attempt to destroy the
head by fire had not only been made
but had well nigh succeeded. . The
e'vidence of Dr. Keep, the missing
man’s dentist, came to the rescue in
a very remarkable fashion, after an
examination of the rema'ns of the
artificial teeth, which had action of
Webster’s furnace.. Keep’s evidence
was that four years before the dis
appearance of Dr. Parkmau, he fit
ted artificial teeth in blocks for that
gentleman in both upper and lower
jaws. The dentist could also speak
with certainty to seeing these teeth
hr Dr. Parkman’s house about a
fortnight before bis disappearance,
when he had fitted the teeth with a
new spring. The artificial teeth se
cured from’ Webster’s furnace wen
sworn to by keep as those he had
made for Dr. Park man from their
fitting the molds in which the teeth
of the latter had been made, and
from the peculiarities of make. Thf
left side of the lower jaw of Dr.
Parkmau exhibited a certain irregu
larity which was recognized by keep
in the form of the gold recovered
from the furnace of Webster. Oth
er circumstances combined to weave
the evidence strongly around the lat
ter as the perpetrator of the crime:
the motive for which was supplied
by the fact that Dr. Parkmau had
been Webster’s creditor to a large
amount, and that on the former be
coming troublesome to him by -in
sisting on the repaymentof the debt,
Webster bad murdered his creditor,
as a short and sharp, bat as the se
queal proved, fatal method of dis
charging his obligation. Webster
was found guilty, mid was duly ex
ecuted.

ThuS at the old Railey in 1884, a
man, believed to possess the name
of Stuart, was charged with being a
returned eonvict, and with having
escaped from transportation. Evi
dence was given that in 1817 a per
son of that name was convicted and
sentenced. The governor of the iailin
which the convict was confined tes
tified to the identity of the prisoner
at the bar with ths convict, and no
less certain was the guard of the
convict-ship to which Stuart was
consigned that the old Bailey priso
ner was his farmer charge. Urosa
exined on behalf of the prisoner,
the guard admitted that the convict
Stifart in 1817 possessed a wen-on
hu left hand, and Indeed this pecu
liarity was duly entered iu the con
vict records as a distinctive mark of
the person in question. In answer
to the charge preferred against him,
the prisoner stated that he was not
the convict Stuart, and that his
name was Stipter. Between 1817
and 1834, however, witnesses who
might have testified to the truth of
his statement had disappeared, and
ware not forthcoming for the de
fense. Already the Recorder was
prepared to charge thfe jury, when a
singular, and, for the prisoner,~inoet
fortunate incidentr occurred. A
celebrated surgeon of the day, Mr.
Carpue, happened to be seated in
court during the trial of the alleged
Stuart. Struck with the evidence of
the guard of the; eonvict-ohip^re
ganfing the presence of a Well mar
ked wen or tumor on the convict's
hand, it occurred to Mr. Carpue
that this fact could be turned to ad
vantage in the Cause of justice.
Hurriedly consulting tire counsel
for the defense, Mr. Carpue entered
the wisness-box. He testified as a
surgeon, that the removal of such a
wen would entail the, presence of an
indelible scar as the result of the op
eration. If the prisoner were Stu
art the convict, said counsel, either
the wen or the scar should be found
On his left hand. Both ..hands .of
the prisoner wore found to he free
from wens and from soars alike,
whereupon the jury at once acquitted
him; In this case a chance accident
and the accuteness of the surgeon
may be said to have saved an inno
cent men from a lengthened period
of incarceration as a culprit of more
The well known case' of Joseph
Lesurques, whose misfortune forma
the incident on which more than
one melodrama and novel has Been
founded, has recently been brought
anew under publie notice through
Mr. Henry Irving's performance in
the “Lyons Mail,' and by his as
sumption of the role of Leseiquet
and his villainous doable. The case
actually occured in France in 1794,
and the details are sufficiently well
known to obviate necessity for their
repetition here. Charged with rob
bery and inorder, the iunoeent Leser
ques was recognised, identified, and
sworn to as the real culprit by vari
ous disinterested witnesses. Not
withstanding strong exertion? which
were made to save his life, and, des
pite his previous high moral charac
ter and probity of conduct, Lesur
ques was sentenced to death, and'ex
ecuted. Soon afterwards, the real
culprit, a man who bore the closest
possible likeness to Leserques, was
brought to justice. It was then
seen that the similarity in features,
stature, build, and manner was so
close as to have deceived the witnes
ses who gave evidence at the trial.
On the grounds alone, and us a mat
ter of common recognition and Hen
tifieaion, the misfortunate resem
blance of Leserques to the real cul
prit had unwillingly led them into a
‘•Comedy of Errors,” which resulted
in a legal tragedy sa lts denoeument.
But more extraordinary to relate
still is the incident, well nigh un
paralleled in the annals of coinci
dences, that Leserques was marked
by a scar on the forehead, and by
another on the hand, while the real
criminal likewise possessed similar
markings! Surely “the grim irony
of Fate’ could no further go than
this, in causing likeness to assume
« lurrn aim to entail consequences so
fatal and sad, as in the case of Jo
seph Jeaurques.
The simplicity'of scientific evi
dence, to which I have already re
ferred in the case of Mr. Carpne,
was equaled in an instance in which
Sir Astley Cooper, the famous sur
geon, was concerned. A Mr. Blight
of Deptford, was fatally wounded
by a pistol-shot in 1800, and Sir
Astley was called in to see the suf
ferer. Proceeding to the scene of
the assault, Sir Astley, from an ex
amination of the locality and the po
sition of the wounded man, togeth
er with the situation of the wound,
came to the conclusion that the as
sassin must have been a left-handed
man. A Mr. Patch answered to the
latter description. He was near ,the
locality at the time of the murder,
and, hitherto unsuspected, he wss
arrested. On being asked to hold
up his hand to plead to the indict
ment, Patch at once raised his left
hand. He was tried and convicted
for the offense, fully confessing his
guilt before his execution.
Finally, as regards indentification
of the dead, the famous cause of
Eugene Aram may be mentioned.
Aram was born at Kamsgill, York
shire, in 1704. Settling <at Knars
borough as a school master, he be
came acquainted with Daniel Clark,
a shoemakers, who was possessed of
certain valuables, and who was al
leged to have been murdered by
Aram _ and another. Clark disap
pear'd in February, 1745, and Aram
was shortly thereafter arrested on
suspicion of having been concerned
in his disappearance, but was acquit
ted from want of evidence. Eventu
ally Aram became usher at Lynn
Academy, Norfolk, and while there
engaged his accomplice confessed
that certain bones discovered in a
care near Knares borough in 1758
were those of Daniel Clark. Aram
was brought to trial at York in 1759.
In his elaborate defense he laid
great stress on the difficulties.beset
ting the iudentification of human
remains after each an interval as
bad elapsed since Clark's death. His
pleas in defense were founded on the
alleged impossibility of determining
the exact nature, sex, and other par
ticulars regarding » skeleton after
the lapse of many vear$. The fract
nre of the temporal bone found in
the skeleton proved nothing; for
was it not probable that . the cave
may have been a place of burial in
olden times, and that the injury
might have been produced after
death in the spoliation to which
graves were frequently subjected?
These and like pleas Aram urged in
his defense with singular ability.
But the confession of nis accomplice
ana the facts of the case overruled
his pleas, and he was found guilty
and executed, having previously con
fessed his..crime; while with strange
philosophy he wrote a defense of
suicide, and endeavored practically
to defeat justice by carrying his
theories into effect.

marvel at his popularity, A French
General who should beat tjie Ger

would be a grave danger that the re

Preface to Eirst Step* JnN.C. Hi«
Thts little book has been written
to interest and instruct the boys and
girls of North Carolina. ; It is ad
dressed to them,is dedicated to them
and its Author would be glad to
know that not one of them, from
ten to Hfteei) years old, will fail to
read or to approve of/ it. . She will
be very #611 content 'with such a
test of its merits. '
It is one of the brightest signs of
our new day that more books about
North Carolina are called for and
find a market among our own pieo
ple^ml that more and more are writ
ten by our own people.
, The story of our State has few ro
mantic incidents. It is. the story of
aslow growth, beginning in a series
of failures and marked by recurring
periods of depression. Heaven had
perhaps done too much forusrff we
had had an ungenial climate,a stony
soil frozen for half the year, and few
or no advantages from Nature, we
might have developed more activity,
exhibited more perseverance, and
built our walls more rapidly sho wing
ourselves in many ways more ag
gressive and more calculating.
That has not been.our way. Ours
is the story of a quiet, contented,
somewhat unambitious people, not
studious of change, not easily pro
voked—a people loyal to Law and
.to Religion, steady, modest sincere
and brave; generous, but not enter
prising; prodigal of their best when
dalled upon by others or in de
fence of their own rights, bat mov
ing too slowly and cautiously when
not under the strong stimulus of
special occasions, ’ / 1 I.,
j out these occasions have shown
| the world that North Carolina is
worthy of high honor. Our State
. has always sprang u> the front in
resistance t<> oppression—has been
the first and freest to shed her blood,
and the last to furl her flag. She
has mantained her self-respect and
her credit in crises where others have
wrecked both. Her mederation has
stood her in good stead, . and the
strength and durability of her ad
herence to both Law and .Liberty
prove that her sons are true “hearts
of oak.”
_It has been, onr fault that we have
left our story so long to other
hands—a fault tt)at we have suffered
from. If it has been well told in
these pages, our children will feel
each fibre thrill with a new attach
ment to the land of their birth, and
will imbibe fresh zeal to show them
selves worthy of their sires.
three Short Steps on John Bright
mirnUnfflm Stmr.
The lover of tasteful, elegant and
correct English must relish the no
ble, dignified and eloquent tribute
of Mr. Gladstone to the illustrious
British statesman just passed away.
.It is the tribute of the greatest liv
ing statesman and orator to the
greatest public man England had
with the exception of the speaker.
It is a very memoriable eulogy.
V; . '
The late John Bright was a great
statesman and, therefore, from ne
eessity, an advocate of the opposite
of Protection. He was too wise an
economist to accept the dogma that
the way to national wealth :Jwas
along the rugged highroad of tax
ation. In 1879, he wrote to Cyrus
W. Field, of New York as follows:
do not think that anything
an Englishman could say wouia
have any effect upon au American
protectionist. The man who pos
sesses a monopoly by weieh he
thinks he gains is not open to .argu
ment. It was so in this country for
ty years ago, and it is so with you
now. It is strange that. a people
who put down-slavery at ahlmmeusc
sacrifice are not. able to suppress
monopoly, which is but a milder
form of the same evil. Under pro
tection, the man is apparently free
but he is denied the right to
exchange* the produce of his la
bor with his countrymen, who
offer him much less for it than a for
eigner would give.”
He was one of the two or three
chief leaders in the ta*..reform tot
ended in the abolition of the ‘ Corn'
Laws in 1844. : . r .
