nandoah meanwhile remuiued iu charge of
Lapt 1 aynter, of the Donegal, and u strict
Watch wus maintained to prevent the escane
of auy of her crew. Immediately on arriv-
ing in Liverpool Cupt. Waddell sought coin,
mumoation with Earl Russell. In u letter
Addressed to the British Premier he suvs*
“In obedience to orders I found uiv-elf
in the Arctic und Ochotsk seas, far removed
from the ordinary channels of commerce
aud in consequence of this awkward mr-
cumstance I was engaged in acts of war
until June 28. I was ignorant of the re-
verses suffered by the Confederates aud the
total obliteration of the government under
which I acted. I received the first intelli-
gence of the downfall of the Confederate
cause on August Sfrcm the British bark
Barrucouta, and desisted immediately from
further acts of war until I could couiuiuui-
cate with a European port and learn if the
intelligence were true. I could not have
been sensible that the tales told by Ameri-
can ahipH were trne, but merely upon the
statement of a British captain I diligently
Bought for a precedent in law writers for
guidance in the future control, manage
ment and final disposal of the vessel, but
found none. Finding the authority ques
tionable under which 1 acted, I immediately
ceased cruising and shaped my course for
the Atlantic. I did not feel justified iu tie-
stroying the vessel, but, on the coutrary
thought tho ship would revert to tho Amer
ican government. I therefore sought Liv
erpool to learn the news, and, if not without
foundation, to surrender the ship, with her
guns, Btoris and apparel complete, to the
British government, for such disposition as
it should deem proper.”
The English press took up the matter
with great warmth, and tho question wiieth-
erCnpt. Waddell aud his crew shou.d be
tried for the crime of piracy was discussed
in the leading papers. It was the general
opinion that as grave charges had been
brought against them, a trial should be nec
essary either to liberate or convict them,
and that the trial should take place iu Eng
land before an English jury. At tho same
time fears were expressed that the return
of the privateer to the port whence she
sailed on her destructive errand might in
volve the United States and England in
grave complications. The British govern
ment seemed to have acted with unusual
piomptness. Apparently taking Cupt.
Wudtfell's statement as reliable, they gave
irome bate orders for his release aud "that of
his crew from arrest, for the reason that
they could find no legal grounds for their
detention. On the afternoon of the 8th,
only two days after the arrival of the “She
nandoah” in the Mersey, Capt. Paynter re
ceived orders from Loudon to liberate sueh
ot her crew ns were not British Subjects. It
was found on inquiring that there was no
one on board who claimed to be a British
subject, and the whole crew were allowed
to go ashore.
On November 10th the Shenandoah was
surrendered to the Aucricin consul at Liv
erpool, who took immediate possession of
her and reported to his government for
orders. Air. Seward acceptod tho prize,
and put it down to offset certain losses by
Anglo-Confederate vessels, for which he
seemed, at that time, in a fair way to got no
other iudemnifiostion. In doing so, how
ever, lie wrote a very sharp dispatch; “We
accept the vessel, but I regret to Bay that
tbo acceptance is not attended with any
sense of satisfaction on the part of this gov
ernment. It would have gratified the Pres
ident if her Majesty's government had
caused proceedings to bo instituted for tho
condemnation of the Shenandoah. The
course, however, which the British govern
ment hi s heretofore pursued in regard to
our applications for justice was such as to
discourage on onr part au expectation of
such a disposition of tho vessel. We uccept
her now simply and exclusively upon the
prudential consideration that, being re
duced into our possession, she will not
■guin depart from British water in a hostile
ebaructer.”
On April 23, 1888, the Shenandoah was
sold at iiublio auction, in Liverpool, by or
der of the United States government. At
this time she was classed thirteen years A1
at Lloyd’s, and was in splendid order for
immediate employment. She wae sold to
Mntthew J. Wilson, merchant and ship
owner, of Liverpool, for the sum of £15,7150.
Her stores and munitions of war were sold
afterwards for a considerable sum.
Cupt. Waddell remained in Liverpool for
some time, and then went over to Puls,
where be took up his residence with his
wife, who went abrosd to join him.
After many months, upon the snbsidence
of the W’-r feeling, Captain Waddell re
turned here, and was made commander of
the steamship San Francisco, of the Pacific
Mail line betweou the ports of Yokohama
and San Francisco. On one of his trips his
vessel straek ou a rock not down on the
chart and sank. 'Ibe captain saved the
p.issengers and crew snd lamb d them on
the neighboring coast, from which the whole
of them were safely taken. The highest
hoard ot inspectors in San Francisco exon
erated Captain Wuddcll from all blame.
Since then he baa been engaged in civil
occupations. He was deeply interested in
the prosperity of his adopted city, Au-
nnpolis, and took an active part in her in
dual rial enterprises. He was one of the
originators of tbo Annapolis ess company
anil had been n State director in the An
napolis and Elkridge railroad. Two yeurs
ago ho wus appointed commander of the
Maryland oyster navy for two yean, which
would huve expired in May. Capt. Wad
dell was a seaman of remarkable qualities,
bold, daring snd original. He was familiar
with all the mechanical details of the pro
fession. lie was brought up under tlio old
regime, when seamanship was considered
one of the most indispensable prerequisites
of an officer.

A singular accident, wbich resulted iu
the death of David Strong, aged 158 years,
occurred at Medway, a small village near
the Clarke and Greene county line, yester
day at noon. Mr. Strong was engaged in
eating his dinner, when he suddenly began
to choke and grow black in the face. The
members of bis family at once went to his
rescue and tried to relieve him, but were
unable to do so snd a physician was sent
for. Before medical aid arrived Strung was
a corpse, death having resulted from strang
ulation. An examination by the physician
showed that he bad partially swallowed the
upper row of his fslxe teeth while engaged
ill eating his dinner, and that they hail
lodged in bis throat in anch a manner that
he wus not able to dislodge them or make
the members of his family understand what

Montgomery Advertiser.
T J. Williams, a white man with more
than one ulius, was arrested at the Union
depot between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday
luurniitg and lodged iu the city prison.
Tho arrc.st was made by ofil ?ers Martin and
Payne, of the Montgomery police force.
Williams reached the city Friday morning
from Mobile, and stopped ut the Bonham
Hotel. On the register his name appeared
as “J. B. Jones, Atlanta, Go.” Late Friday
evening he culled at the express office, pre
sented hi* old receipt, took a new one, and
ordered his valise shipped to Atlanta. He
would not engage in conversation, would
not be detained, and was out and gone be
fore Mr. Brown Janney, who wus alone in
the office, could notify the police authori
ties. Mr. Janney reported the matter to
Chief Gerald as soon as he could. At that
time it was not koown where
ho was stopping. But Chief Gerald
posted officers Martin and Payne,
and pnt them on the wateli,
A little afUr 1 o'clock yesterday morning
they had tho gati e spotted. They found
Williams at the depot ready to take the
train for Athmta. He was sitting on some
trunks. Officer Payne, dressed in citizen's
suit, walked up and s-it down by his side
and begun a conveiK.ilion with him. Will
iams talked freely, but kept his bat pulled
down over his face and did not mise his
head. Iu tho description sent to Chief
Gerald by CjptaiQ Malone it was stated
that the dangerous individual bad a mole or
dark spot on one temple. Officers Martin
and Payne tried a loDg time before they
got a look ut liin face. Finally Captain
Martin said something about a drove of
wild geese Hying overhead. Williams no-
thonghtedly looked up, the light fell on his
face and revealed the dark spot. The
officers harneKHed him and took him to
prison.
Yesterday morning officer Payne went to
the express office and got the valise. It
was opened and found to contain just what
was expected, a complete outfit of burglar’s
tools. There were twenty-three pieces in
the kit, os follows: A radial drill with live
chilled hteol bits or drills, a screw driver, a
flask well tilled with fine powder, a dark
lantern or “hull’s eye,” au oil can, a pow
der funnel, a role of fuse, a steel hammer,
a working shirt, and several other articles
generally iuclnded iu a burglar's paiapher-
iiftlia. The tools were all of the finest qual
ity and comparatively new. In sh rt, it is
an outfit ©f which any burglar might be
, ustly proud. It is something of a curios-
ty, and numbers of people visited Chief
Gerald’s office during yesterday to get a
look at tho tools.
Williams admits nothing and claims that
ho has done nothing to bo arrested for. He
told the officers when they arrested him
that he had not “worked" Montgomery and
did not mean to do so. ne told Mr. Gerald
that he hod struck a streak of bard luck and
wished that he had never been born.
The prisoner is about five feet Hix inches
tall, will weigh perbans 100 pounds, has a
cleanly shaven face, dark hair, dark eyes
aud dark complexion.

A PERSISTENT THEOSOPUIST.
A Han 'Who tins Watched Senator Aldrich
for Six Years.
Senator Aldriob, of lthoilo Island, tells a
enrions story. He is one of the most strik
ing figures iu the chamber, und it is not
surprising that he utlructs attention. Just
before his depirlure for New York ho said
to a brother Senator, us he designated n
tall, gray bearded uiun in the public gallery.
Do you aee that uiau in the corner seat,”
“Certainly. He appears to ho watching
us intently,
“Yes, that is the trouble," continued Mr.
Aldrich. “That man has occupied that seat
nearly every day during my presence iu tho
Senate. He is a ‘stayer,’ I assure yon, and
rarely fails to sit ont the session.”
‘Thut'B curious. Do you know who he
is?”
'No. He haunted the galleries of the
nonse just the same way when I was there
during the Forty-Bixtli Congress. He had a
regular seat, and would sit for hours at a
time with his eyes fixed iu my direction. 1
soon observed him. Indeed it eventually
became a custom to look for snd expeet
him. I'd g’nnco up carelessly and there
he’d be, sure enough, with his chin on the
palm of his bend, as you soo him now."
“There’s something tho matter with him,
perhaps." And then the conversation drifted
off into unotlur channel.
The moment Senator Aldrich left the
eapilol for New York tho strange viaitor
vuoished. This afternoon ho called nt tho
unin doorway, and, inquiring if the sena
tor from Rhode Island was present, turned
to depart when ho received a negative an
swer. He had previously been in the gal
lery, hut Lad grown tired of waiting. By a
lucky chance I learned n solution of the
mystery. He is a tlieosopliist and behoves
in the dual personality of man. He cher
ishes the delusion that Senator Aldrich is
his other nnd bettor self. Anxiety for his
Lealth, happiness nnd prosperity of the
Rhode Island merchant engrosses all his
thoughts. He is a professor in a night
school in this city, and gives his time in
dsylight to the cniitemplntion of his astral
sonl, which he fondly believes has taken up
its earthly dwelling plnco iu the body of the
genial Senator. As for himself, be is hope
less, even careless. Without ambition or
energy, he says ho relies upon Si nutor Al
drich to attain fume enough for both.
When asked this nftornoou why bo contin
ued to watch the occupant of desk No. 52
ho answered grandiloquently:
Because be is the handsomest man in
the Senate'.”
HOW TO -TELL HORSES’ AGES.
At

lane which runs through bis fuytn. Tho
colored man lends them ns far ss he thinks

them off and rings the hell furiously bellied

Capt. Shaw and the dog, when the
snlmnls stop nml snort a bit. While they

Phils lelphla Times.
Christian Glauser, residing st 319 Lom
bard street, this city, is engaged in n curious
bnsiucss wbich h» makes public here this
afternoon. It is that of killing dogs and
furnishing the meat to curtain families who
eat it. They consider it very palatable snd
healthy. He constantly keeps in his yard a
number of dogs, wbich he fattens anil kills
as he flmls a demand for the meat He
also extracts the fat and sells it to persons
afflicted with cnlds, rheumatism anil affec
tions of the chest. He says: “I often cat
dog meat; in fact, we have it on onr ttble.
Why, a fat dog two or three years old makes
the finest kind of meat. It is better than
lamb, beef, real or pork. The meat of a
fat dog has a rich, delicate flavor that ev
erybody relishes who tastes it and there is
no finer-looking meat than dressed dog.
When I lived at home my father slaugh
tered big dogs and salted down the hams
and sides umi ns pork and we oil ate it oh
any other meat and liked it. I have some
in the lions- now. Will you have a piece?
The mania for dog meat among parson* of a
delicate constitution is spreading and it is
n ed by a number of families."
A Iteereant Lover's Fate.
Mrurins March 19.—At Randolph.Tenn.,
thirty-live miles north of Memphis, a young
merchant by the name ef Crouch engaged
him*elf to two yonng ladies. One of them,
nswed Templeton, hearing of his conduct
wrote him a note to call and explain. Crouch
failed to do so. Miss Templeton then in-
formed her father of the situation. The
old gentleman called on Crouch last
Wednesday night with a shntgnn nnd made
him follow before him until the honse
was reached, when he waa invited into the
B rlor. On entering be was confronted by
ics Templeton and her sister. The young
ladies locked the parlor door, and asked
him to explain his conduct. Crouch hung
his head in shame, and said he ronlil not
give any aatisfactury explanation, whereup
on both of the young ladies proceeded to
horse-whip the perfidious yonng mao, who
made bis escape through the window, car-
lying it with him. Cronch. the day ft U >w.

fearing similar treatment from her.

Thu Appearance of the Teeth During Dlf.

Sportsman.
The full-grown horse possesses twenty-
fonr hack teeth—that is, six in each sido of
each jaw; these are called molars or grind
ers. He has twelve front teeth; that is,
sit in each jaw. Marcs have no tushes.
The foal has at his birlh, or shmtly after
ward, eight milk tc-eih -that is, four on
each jaw; at about twelv-: months two inoro
milk teeth come in each jaw. 'l'hesoremain
unchanged until he is three years old. The
month of the yearling slid two-year-old can
not bo confounded. The yearling mouth
shows no sign ot nsc, anil tho corner teeth
are shells only; at two years old these teeth
urc strong and well grown, and the corner
teeth tilled np. A little before three Years
old the two centre teeth of each jaw fall out,
u»! are replaced by permanent rivth, A
little before four, tho two teeth on oacli Hide
of the centre teeth are replaced by pcrino*
nent one-. A little before live the two re
maining teeth are abed, nnd in their place
come permanent one*. The nppar milk
teeth usually fall out find.
Thu* the mouth Ih complete nn to it* front
teeth; the comer tooth, hofferer, in but im
perfectly developed, being nt pn iiont n shell
only: this shell ut six years old low filled np,
and is a complete tooth. This is the differ
ence between a five aud a six-yenr-old. The
twnbea appear between three and n half
years and four years old, and they take
nearly two years to arrive at their full
growth. These t* eth, as the horse grows
older, get blunter and shorter, nnd so to an
experienced judge are a sure indication of
age. Up to 6ix yeara old the month is in a
distinct nnd periodical state of structural
change. There U no difficulty in dotermin
ing the age np to that date. After that the
nge must be judged by the shape of the
mouth and tho iqq^urance of the teeth
allied the mark. At aix years of age the
cups leave two centre teeth above, at seven
the next two above, and at eight the outer
or corner tooth above. At nine the two
centre teeth below lose tlie cups, nt ten the
next two below, and at eleven the outer or
comer teeth below. After a littlo practice
the clone observer can scarcely make a mis-
tnke. The changes that occur ore the same
in all horses, or neurly so.

chamber body tho secret of tho barber-shop
has been tho best kept. Those who have
known of its existence huvo supposed that
Senators paid for “tonsorial” work ns they
did for cotho4. This is an error. The
two barbera iu tho Senato shop “are not
permitted to receive auy fee* or gratuities.”
UIOH-PUICED BIIAVINO.
The (Hilary of the head barber, John
Hickman, is at the rate of $1,000 per year,
and bis assistant, Beverly Huducl, is paid
$C0 per month. The cleaning of Senatorial
faces costs, therefore, $1,720 per year.
When one thinks of the Gargantuan size of
some of the chius that have to be shaved
the sum appears small enough. But why,
in tho numo of Christian civilization, should
the government pixy for the shaving and
bathing of United States Senators? Can it
be possible that such a high diguitary suf
fers no humiliation or parts with no solf-
respect when ho loses Ins day’s growth of
beard nt the nation’s oxpense? When the
laundry is added will he smuggle his wife’s
white clothes into the Senatorial wash iim he
Iiuh been known to Roud his children to tho
free barber to get their hair cut for nothing?
A cobbler will doubtless be added the
contingent expense account iu the natural
progress of deadheodiRiii and the half-soled
reimturs will stump ubout on the nation's
leather.
A CLASS DISTINCTION.
These humiliating facts have become pub
lic in a curious way. It appears that the
private secret aries of Henntors, clerks of
committees and other officers of the Hennte
have been iu tho habit of getting free shav
ing in the 8euntori>U barber shop. But re
cently a sturdy kick was mode by several
Senators, and since that time tho services of
the barbers have been restricted to the more
lignified “dea<! beats.” A morn down in
the crypt, almost under the Senatorial sta
tionary warehouse, has been fitted up with
a eliatr and mirror, and the clerks are com
pelled to go there. A barber hits been
added by the Scrgtant-at-AruiH to the con
tingent account under the title of “laborer,”
nnd at the rate of $ f i0 per month, to sernb
the lower caste chins. Naturally the clerks
nt this class distinction, and swear by
tho beard of the Prophet that they will here
after insist on payiug for their hair cutting
and shaving. One of them, who ban pat-
ionized the Senatorial barber for six years,
assured me this afternoon that it was a very
humiliating spectacle to see Senators wait
ing in a row for a freo shave. Ho ought to
know, and I accept bis statement as true.
BTAVDINO UP BABBEB DILLS.
Walking over to the House before the
morning hour T found the Congressional
barber's shop rumme* like a threshing ma
chine. It is one of tlio prime inducements
to the contractor, Mr. Stewart, that be has
the privilege of shaving all coiners until 12
o’clock. He makes hay, or lather, to speak
more accurately, while the Ion-noon lasts.
Tin* (, ongresHtneu are expected to pay fm*
their shaving, though a small amount is al
lowed the boss barber for keeping dean
towels and soup for soiled humanity. It is
sad to say that all patrons of the shop do
not obsi rvo tho rules of the establishment
regarding payment, but “stand up ’ the bar-

Who are the aldermen? We look through
the list ot twenty-five of them printed in
the city directory and find only one or two
names that aro rcooguizitUo. The aldermen,
an a rule, are obscure persons. They aro
not identified with good public works of
auy kind. One never sees their names in
com ectinn with any religions, charitable or
social enterprise. They am us unknown in
society as they are in sharches or benevo
lent institutions. They do not figure much
even in politics. Tiu-y seem to belong to
the lower order of ward or pothouse politi
cians, useful in a certain sort of work on
election days, and, doubtless, putiouized
by p tftv leaders, but not allowed to nose as
representative men in the councils ot Dem
ocrats or Republicans. They uro not dis
tinguished for anything—not even for dom-
agogism. A more imdguifictmt body of
meu could hvrdly be selected from the
whole population of this teeming city.
