The She 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. The Dautfer of Patae Teeth. Xenia (O.l Special. 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 waa the matter Why She Wore No Hat.

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 New 8tylo or Training. St. LouIh UepabUcsu.

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 early morn his horses are taken to a fenced lane which runs through bis fuytn. Tho colored man lends them ns far ss he thinks fit, strips them, turns thorn loose, “shoos” them off and rings the hell furiously bellied them. The fleet gallops from the bell tip the lane for dear life until it meets Capt. Shaw and the dog, when the snlmnls stop nml snort a bit. While they are thns wasting time in consideration the captain takes the stick and scrapes It np and down the fence posts until the horses are seared into starling baok at a gallop for tbo hell. Capt. Shaw nays that the varieties of noise extract every bit ot toe pace the ani mals are capable of -so thoroughly In the case of Margot, the two-year-old own sister of Mamie Hnnt, that ahe looked no bigger than a dog when Retting away from the hull about dawn last Wednesday. When all of the horses have worked sufficiently they are gathered, clothed, taken to the stable, given an apple each, cooled off and groomed as if they had been galloped in the old-fashioned way. Tho captain says that they ard shap ing np nicely under bis process, tint he is on the lookout for boys to put the final pol ish ou them. The 1>«X Katrrs. 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. ing, married the other young lady, possibly fearing similar treatment from her. A SalnlUuu far C, S. Reform. Thu Appearance of the Teeth During Dlf. ferent Years. 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.

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 star chambor, popularly known as the United States Senate, has o barber-Blion, maintained at the public oxpense; bath rooms, w*th tho water heated by govern ment coal, aud rumor declares that a steam laundry, with maiipbng machinery, for do ing np tho Senatorial linen, \h about to be added. Not u little scandal has been evoked by the declaration of Senator Rul- dleberger that many of tuo private, aecro. taiies of the Benatois did not receive their R.ilarit R, but transferred them to mystcrions third piuticK, whose names and affiliations are susceptible of imagination rather than proof. But of till the features of tho star 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.

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.
