I ■ x
QUEER PHASE OF LIFE AT HEIQELr
BERG UNIVERSITY.
Some of the Names Which Adorn ths
Prison Roister and ths “Crimes" For
Whloh Their Owners War* Incarcerated.
The Bales of the Place.
In England the student’s body is com
mitted to prison only by tho civil au
thority. In Oxford, it is true, the vice
chancellor deals with undergraduate
naughtiness, principally in the form of
debt and insubordination, for which he
may impose a momentary penalty, but
he does not deprive the defaulter of lib
erty. There is, or was, a legend that a
certain apartment under the old Claren
don building was really the university
“quod,” but for its authenticity it is
impossible to vouch.
Cambridge has its spinning house for
female offenders—not lady students, but
ladies who might prove a delusion and
a snare to the mere male undergrad.
There, if we except the irksome penalty
of ‘‘gating’’ (confinement to college or
lodgings after a stated hour), our aca
demic efforts at incarceration may be
said to end.
In Germany, however, the academic
dungeon is a very stern fact. The Hei
delberg ‘ ‘career’ ’is famous. Every read
er of Mark Twain will recall his enter
taining description of the place and
how he conti’ivod to visit it, even unwit
tingly enlisting as his guide a “Herr
Professor. ” His pretext was to see a
•young friend who had “got” 24 hours
and had conveniently arranged the day
to suit Mark—for the German student
convict goes to prison on the first suit
able day after conviction and sentence.
If Thursday is not convenient, he tells
the officer sent to hale him to jail that
he will come on Friday or Saturday or
Sunday, as the case may be. The officer
never doubts his word, and it is never
broken. .
The prison is up three flights of stairs,
and is approached by a “zugang” as
richly decorated with the art work of
convicts as the cell itself. The apart
ment is not roomy, but bigger than an
ordinary prison cell It has an iron
grated window, a small stove, two
wooden chairs, two old oak tables and
a narrow wooden bedstead.
The furniture is profusely ornament
ed with carving, the work of languish
ing captives, who have placed on record
their names, armorial bearings, their
crimes and the dates of (heir imprison
ment, together with quaint warnings
and denunciations. Walls and ceilings
are covered with portraits and legends
executed in colored chalk and in soot,
the prison candle forming a handy pen
cil. Some of the inscriptions are pa
thetic. One runs, “E. Glinicke,. four
days for being too eager a spectator of
a row. ” If four days were meted out to
a mere spectator, what, one wonders,
had been the sentence of the participa
tors? It must have been a moving spec
tacle.
Another record (also quoted by Mr.
Clemens) has the savor of a great name
to it Os course it is the son that is
meant, not the father. The legend is,
“F. Graf Bismarck, 37-29. IL ’74.”
This Mark Twain interprets as a record
of two days’ durance vile for Count Bis
marck in 1874. Had 1874 been leap
year one might have been inclined to
interpret the numeral “II” os February.
But the “28” makes this difficult So
perhaps the humorist is right
A third specimen is too tragic for
comment It simply says, “R. Diergandt
—for love—four days.” Ungenerous
successors to that sad chamber have
dealt harshly with their forerunners’
reputations by ingenious substitution Os
heinous crimes, so that certain prison
ers go down to posterity as having been
punished for theft and murder.
The prisoner must supply his own
bedding and is subject to various
charges. On entering he pays about ten
pence, and on leaving a similar sum.
Every day in prison costs sixpence; fire
and light sixpence extra. The jailer
supplies coffee for a trifle. Meals may
be ordered from outside. Every prison
er leaves his carte de visite, which is
fixed with a multitude of others on the
door of the cell This queer album is
glazed toprotect the photographs.
Academic criminal procedure in Hei
delberg is Ouripus. If . the city police ap
prehend' a student, the captive shows
hjp matriculation card. He is then ask
ed for his address and set free, but will
hear more of the matter, for the civil
authority reports him to the university.
The Oxford regulation, by the way, is
in certain cases almost identical. In
Heidelberg the university court try and
pass sentence, the civil power taking
no further cemcerfr with the offense. The
trial is very of ten conducted in the pris
oner’s absence, and he, poor wight, may
have forgotten all about his peccadillo
until the university constable appears
to conduct him to prison. But thither,
seeing he may choose his day, he always
repairs cheerfully.—London Sketch.

BROWNSON’S SMILE.
A STORY OF THE COMMANDER THAT
SAILORMEN LOVE TO TELL
How the Detroit Broke Dp -
nsurgent Admiral Called a “Blookad*.**
An Incident That Pleaae* Men Who
Have Seen Smiling Men Fight.
It was in January, 1894,' that the
Civil war in Brazil was coming to a cli
max in the harbor at Rio. Admiral da
Gama of tbe insurgents was in tbe har
bor with several ships-of-war. Tbe gov
ernment held the city, but while the in
surgent admiral held the water no ship
ping could go up to the front as long as
ho said it couldn’t, and he said ha
Various governments were affected by
this embargo—“blockade” the admiral
called it Great Britain was concerned
chiefly, but tbe United States was a
good second, with Germany and other
nations as well.
Europe looked to America to do some
thing in tbe matter and was naturally
diffident about interfering in family
rows on this side of the water. At last
Admiral Benham .was sent down to take
charge of the United States fleet in Rio
harbor. The flagship was the San Fran
cisco, and on Sunday, Jan. 28, Admiral
Benham called on his captains to come
aboard. Among them was Commander
Brownson of the Detroit It is said that
after the conference this commander
came back to his ship smiling. However
that may be, he certainly smiled next
morning. Just after 5 o’clerk that even
ing—it was calm as could be, almost
the Yankee naval ships were seen to be
in a hustle. The canvas awnings faded
away, and in the night certain sounds
were heard aboard them, at which vari
ous listeners put their hands cup shaped
behind their ears to listen harder. On
the morning of the 29th there was a
change in the appearance of tbe Yankee
fleet. It had taken off its coat, waist
coat and shirt, so to speak, and was just
eying itself when day dawned to see
how good its training had been.
The insurgent ships Aquidaban and
Tamandare were up the bay above Vi
ana island with their cables short,
ready to trip. The Trajano and Guana
bara, as well as the fleet of armed tugs,
were crowded with men from the gar
risons of Cobras and Villegaigon. The
Liberdade flew the little blue ensign,
for Admiral de Gama was aboard her,
lying with the Trajano and Guanabara
north of Encbados island, a few yards
from tbe American bark Amy, one of
tbe boats kept out by the blockade. The
Parahyba was lying with its teeth, so
to speak, at the throat of the Yankee
barkentine Good News.
Commander Brownson on the Detroit
got his ship under way, having hoisted
anchor at 6 o’clock, and headed toward
the city between Enchados and Cobras
islands. Her crew was at her guns,
and as eager a lot of men as one could
see anywhere at that time. The anchor
got fouled in the Detroit’s hawse hole,
and that was ample excuse for proceed
ing slowly, which was convenient,
while a couple of insurgent tugs made
a sputter at the northern littoral of the
city, as they had been doing a long
time. After a couple of men had been
killed aboard the tugs they drew back,
and the Detjpit, with everything clear,
rounded Encbados island and came
along starboard side to starboard of tbe
Trajano. The men looked through their
sights and then up at Commander
Brownson on the bridge. The story of
what they saw is a tradition in the
navy now and always will be so long as
men like Brownson are in command.
The commander was smiling.
A man on the Trajano raised a mus
ket and firedva bullet over the heads of
sailors pulling away in a boat with a
line from the Amy to a ship at anchor
that the Amy might be warped to the
forbidden docks. Two heavy insurgent
tugs came around with their rams
pointed at the side of the Detroit. On
the San Francisco the red flag of battle
had been run up to the fore truck in
stops. A quartermaster stood with his
hand on the halyards eager to break it
out, with his eyes fixed on the admiral,
who was looking at the Detroit for the
sign which would cause him to give the
quartermaster the order so ardently de
sired.
When the insurgent shot was fired,
Commander Brownson turned to tbe
gunner at a one pounder, and with a
scarcely perceptible increase of the
smile ordered the man to shoot into the
Trajano at the water line six feet abaft
the stern. The order was misunder
stood, and the shot went across the in
surgents* bow. Thereupon Captain
Brownson hailed:
“Trajano, ahoy I” he shouted. “If
you fire again, I will return the fire,
and if you persist I will sink you.”
The Trajano’s crews were excited. If
a nervous finger had puljed a trigger,
the fight would have been on.
But the shot did not sound. The sail
ors on the Amy’s yawl waited to see
what they were to do next.
son shouted, “and I’ll protect youl”
The sailors went
“Aim at tbe Guanabara!” ordered
Commander Brownson. And tbe greasy
black muzzles of the Detroit’s broadside
and the two pivot guns swung around,
looking bigger and bigger every mo
ment, till they stopped, leveled at the
cruiser. One particularly nervous gun
crew aboard theirs urgent was conspicu
ous. Commander Browdson waved his
hand, with a half -smile, and this crew
I Then the Yankee ships led the way
to the docks, with other ships crowding
in with them, and after awhile the re
bellion collapsed. But the sailors who
were on the Detroit at that time have
told the story of Commander Brown
son’s smile toother sailors, and these
to still others, till it has rippled to ev
ery water where tbe starry flag flies,
and it is beard with marked interest by
men on the ships of other nations—men
who have seen smiling men fight—New

INVENTOR OF LEAD PIPE.
——.',, • -
Ftrrt Su re «ted by Hobart SaydeU <rf
Fenaaylraaia In IBM.
There wm born in Milton, Pa., in
1800 a man of wonderful genius, it is
said. His name was Robert Seydell, and
he died in 1847. Four children survive,
two of whbm reside here—a son, Jacob
Seydell, and a daughter, Mrs. Gray.
Mr. Seydell wm a coppersmith and
■ was almost continuously working out
some device connected with tbe ma
chinery in his factory. To him, it is re
lated by some of the oldest citizens of
this place, belongs the discovery of the
process of making lead pipe, and, like
many other inventors, the idea of mak
ing the same was stolen from him and
further developed to its present form of
manufacture.
It was in the latter part of tbe thir
ties that the idea suggested itself to
him, and the following is the way he
wrought it out: He first took a slug, or
casting of lead, placing it on a mandrel,
or rod of steel, about TO feet long and
an inch in diameter. The mandrel was
highly polished, and upon thia he drew
or rolled out tbe lead to the full length
of the rod, thus giving him an inch
bore, and the material was rolled, it is
said, to a one-fourth inch, making a to
tal diameter 1 % inches for the pipe.
After completing several sections of the
length of the mandrel he soldered them
together, making the pipe of whatever
length be desired.
He put it to practical use by fasten
ing it to pump heads, and also running
it from springs to connect watering
troughs and springhouses in the coun
try round about here. Being greatly
pleased with his discovery and receiv
ing the most flattering of comments
from his friends and neighbors in this
section, he concluded to make his in
vention more widely known, and hence
made a visit to Philadelphia, taking
his device with him.
At the Franklin institute in that city
he gave his first exhibition to quite a
number of inventors, artisans and me
chanics. As it is now related, every one
who witnessed it was more than de
lighted, and so expressed himself in
his immedite presence. It was not long
that he was allowed to remain in a con
dition of supreme happiness over his in
vention, for a short time after he made
a disclosure of hip discovery, and while
yet in Philadelphia, he found out that
by the persons to whom he had given
an exhibition of the process of making
lead pipe his idea had been used and
improved upon.—Philadelphia Press.
SPEAKING PASSING SHIPS.
New Efforts to Beviive Old Mme Courto
sies »t Sea.
The fine old custom of speaking pass
ing ships is rapidly dying out among
the skippers of today, and the general
opinion seems to be that the modern
master is, as a rule, too easy going to
bother about anything of the sort
Colonel Hazier, the secretary ol!
Lloyds, considers that a deal of trouble
and anxiety would often be avoided if
captains would but take the trouble to
speak ships within reading distance of
their signals. In many instances anxiety
with respect to overdue vessels would
be allayed, and, furthermore, there
would continually be news for tbe
friends of masters and for the hundreds
of thousands of others who are interest
ed in the great merchant marine of this
country.
Chatting the matter over, Captain
Frond, the secretary of the Shipmasters’
society, said: “The practice of speaking
each other at sea and reporting at every
opportunity is, I am sorry to say,-dying
out among the captains of the present
day. I suppose they are indifferent, or
careless, and do not consider it worth
the trouble of hoisting the signals and
making out the other fellow’a It is a
very great pity that an exceedingly use
ful custom should be neglected, and I
am glad to learn that Colonel Hozier is
doing his utmost to induce masters to
speak other ships and to report when
ever it is possible.
“I am convinced that if captains can
be persuaded to take the trouble to do
this much good service will be rendered
to the public generally. This society is
doing its utmost to get masters to re
vive the practice. ”
Captain Frond’s appeal was strength
ened by the picturesque evidence of an
old time skipper, who admitted that
speaking and signaling had been almost
entirely neglected of late yeara “ When
I first went to sea,” he said, “it was
the invariable custom to exchange names
and destinations and sometimes reckon
ings with passing ships, but nowadays
captains don’t bother. Sometimes a
skipper is short handed and he won’t
take even one man from his work, but
mostly he doesn’t bother himself about
the thing at aIL That’s my experience,
and I’ve been at the game a week or
twa”—London Mail
