The cool deed recalls an an* ecdote told in “A Godchild of Waabs ington” about a fire in New York, in 1783, while the Britiah were getting ready to evacuate the city. Col. Morgan Lewie had relumed to hia house in z the city, and with him as guests, were Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton. Fire broke out in the arsenal, and all classes were frightened. Those Americans who bad returned to their homes feared that the arsenal bad been set on fire by the British. The British soldiers kept aloof, lest they should be suspected and become the object of popular violence. The flames continued unchecked. Col. Lewis and Mr. Hamilton were forming the citizens in line to pass leather buckets from band to hand, when a soldier announced that all was lost, as the arsenal contained several barrels of gunpowder, which the fire had just reach* <l. “Come, my lads, won't you help ueT” said Col. Lewis to the British soldiers, standing idly by. “Yes, sir, willingly,” they replied. Hamilton and Lewia led the way into the burning arsenal, and the sol diers followed. They rolled out through the fire the barrels of gunpowder, call ing them “barrels of pork,’’ and thus saved the city.

The Chicago Chronicle says that a private letter gives a pathetic inci dent connected with the death of En sign Bagley on board the torpedo boat Winslow at the engagement off Car denas. Bagley had been fearfully wounded by a shot, which practically tore through his body. He sank over the rail and was grasped by one ot the en listed men named Reagan, who lifted him up and placed him on the deck. The young officer, realizing that he had only a short time to live, allowed no murmur of complaint or cry of pain to escape him, but opened hia eyes and stared at the sailor, and simply said: “Thank you, Reagan.” These were the last words he spoke.

Ga. „„ I J— ■ f THE BENNINGTON'S CRACK CREW GOT A COSTLY SURPRISE. Tke Story «* • Fourth ot July Bowing Contort at Honolulu Which Kmpttad th. Pocket, and I-aoernted th. Feeling, of Unele Sam’. Jueklea. “About as di- >1 a Fourth of July as ever I experienced on board a man o’-war,” said an ex-sailor of the navy now living in Washington to a report er, “was Independence day not many years ago down in the harbor of Hono lulu. The Bennington had an all star racing boat’s crew. The eight had just happened to be assigned to the Ben nington in a bunch before she left for her Pacific cruise, and several of the oarsmen had been members of the Co lumbia’s crack boat’s crew that walloped all of the British navy’s boats’ crews in English waters a few years before. The Bennington’s cutter was one of the best in the navy, and she had been built for a racer. Before we left the Mare Island navy yard for south Pacific waters the ship’s racing crew had easily beaten all of the other crews of the ships lying at the yard, including the tiptop crew of the Olympia and the Boston’s fine crew. We thought that we were about as warm as they make ’em after our crew put it on so many other man-o’-war crews, giving them a couple of minutes the start of us, too, on numerous occasions and still beating them disgracefully. “The people of Honolulu arranged an aquatic festival for the Fourth of July—the Americans down there cele brated the Fourth just as enthusiastic ally as we do up here—and the Ben nington’s crew figured in it largely. Our ship’s colors were at the fore in the two races that were run with picked Kanaka crews, and the third and last race bf the day was one in which our crackajack eight was to figure, the other races having been won by subcrews practically picked at random from among tho strongest seamen. “We thought this race was at our mercy. It was to be a four sided affair— one crew of Kanaka sugar field workers, a crew of Kanaka policemen and the racing crew of the yacht Eleanor, be longing to Mr. Slater of Providence, that had pulled into Honolulu harbor from Japan a few days before. Our crew didn’t pay much attention to the yacht’s racing crew and were only fig uring on the distance they could beat the crew of Kanaka policemen, which seemed the most formidable. “The race was over the four mile course carefully blocked out in the har bor—which was very smooth—by the Honolulu aquatic sportsmen, and the start was first rate. There wasn’t a man, fore or aft, on the Bennington that didn’t stand to go broke to the extent of at least a month’s pay on the success of the Bennington’s crew, and we had to give 8 to 1, too, for it was generally conceded that we had the race at our mercy. “The start, as I said, was good, and the Bennington’s crew showed in front first and started out apparently to make a runaway race of it. The Kanaka po licemen’s crew trailed after them, pull ing steadily, then the Kanaka sugar workers and, a good ten lengths to the rear, the Eleanor’s crew. This was the way it looked for the finish when the Bennington’s crew rounded the stake boat and started far the return trip. “Some of the Honolulu men who had their money up on tire two Kanaka , crews actually began to square accounts, and theory, ‘lt’sall over—Bennington!’ was heard all over the bay. When the stakeboat was rounded, it was noticed that the Eleanor’s boat was sort of get ting a move on itself, and the men were working like machines at a long, steady stroke that certainly looked as if it was cutting down the Bennington’s lead and the lead of the two Kanaka boats. “Two minutes after the stakeboat was rounded the Eleanor’s gang were right abreast of the Kanaka cutters and gaining on them with every stroke, and the cox’un of the Bennington’s cutter, hearing the yells of warning from the Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked behind him and saw the Eleanor cutter only two lengths behind him and com ing like an electric launch. Our crew was tired, and that’s all there was about it “The Eleanor’s crew had held them selves in for the finish, and they cer , tainly did make a Garrison finish of it , The yacht’s cutter shot ahead of our , cutter a good mile from home, and then, ■ to make the thing more galling, the crew actually stopped rowing until the Bennington’s crew was alongside again. Then they took to the oars again, and from then on it was a howling farce. , The Eleanor’s crew just romped their cutter in ten lengths ahead of our cut ter and the Kanakas a quarter of a ’ mile in the rear. 1 “You never saw such a disgusted lot of men in your life as the men and officers on the Bennington. The Elea i nor’s ship company had taken all of the , Bto 1 money they could get on board our ship, for they knew they had a good thing up their sleeve. The Eleanor’s crew on the whole trip around the world that was wound np at San Fran cisco had not been beaten once in a cut ter race, and the yacht’s sailors had made all kinds of money in betting on their crew.. It was a minor sort of con solation for us when we found out that . five of the Eleanor’s racing crew were ex-American man-o’-war’s men.”— Washington Star. Winning race horses are generally i bays, chestnuts or browns, and for every hundred bays among them there are 50 chestnuts and 30 browns. There is no record of an important race being won , by a piebald.
