One day, in the year 1842, Captain
iThomasr .5 Catesby Jones, then at
Calluo in command of a strong squad-
) 1011,11hich had been sent to the Pacific
the seizure of California by the British,
picked up‘a newspaper and read there-
in an article which declared that Mex-
ico had just ceded California to En-
gland. Before the close of the day a.
British frigate came into view, and.
stopping only long enough to take a.
brief look at the Yankee squadron,
sailed northward. The appearance of
the English warship and her apparent.
haste to move northward, seemed to
Captain Jones to substantiate the
newspaper story he had just read. If
the British were taking possession of
California he had work to do. UP
went his anchors and the prows of his
ships-were headed Californiaward. He
reached Monterey harbor, and at once
landed and took possession of the
,town. The next day, very much to his
chagrin, he learned that the newspaper
.‘
. story was a fake, and that he had tak-
en forcible possession ofa town he-
longing to a nation with which the
United States was at peace. He
promptly surrendered the town and
made what amends he could.
This is an- interesting fact because it.
shows that the first warlike act on the
part of the United States against Mex-
ico was made by a naval officer some
four years previous to actual hostili-
ties, and illustrates the distrust with
which England was regarded by the
United States at this period.
The official declaration of war was
made ‘four years later, on May 13,
1846; but it was not until the 8th day
of the following June that Captain
John Drake Sloat, commander of the
Pacific squadron, then stationed» at
Mazatlan, Mexico, learned that war
had been declared. He at once headed
his ship, the frigate Savannah, for
Monterey, California. When he reach-
ed this place he found the United
States ships, the Warren Cyane, and
Levant at anchor in the harbor. Two
hundred and fifty men were ordered
to land and take possession of the
town, which was accomplished without
opposition on the part of the Mexicans.
Captain Sloat resigned on July 23,
and the more active Captain Robert
Field Stockton was ordered to take his
place.
Stockton proved to be the right man
in the right place. He at once moved
against Los Angeles, with three hun-
dred and fifty men, and, on August 13,
1846, he entered the city without. oppo-
sition. Here he organized a state
government with John C. Freemont
at the head. The Mexicans rallied and
fought fiercely for their homes. Los
Angeles and Montcrey were retaken
and Santa Barbara threatened. The
Mexicans in the country far outnum-
bered the Americans; but the superior
courage and skill of the Yankees event-
ually carried all before them. Brig-
adier-General Stephen W. Kearney
came from Sante Fe, New Mexico, with
.one hundred men, and, reinforced by
two hundred and fifty men, marched
to San Diego. An army of seven hun-
dred men was raised for another at-
tack, on Los Angeles, and that city
was re—captured on January 15,1847.
Captain Stockton now returned to
the east, and Commodore William
Bradford Shubrick, with the liner In-
dependence, and the brig Preble, and
Commodore Briddle came to the coast
In a short time every Mexican port
north of Acapulco was blockaded. The
custom-house at Mazatlan was admin-
istered by the Americans and nearly
$300,000 collected on imports.
An incident will illustrate the char-
acter of the naval warfare along the
Pacific coast. During the blockade at
Mazatlan, Lieutenant G. W. Harrison
was out with three small boats on the
watch for blockade runners. In his
zeal he wandered far from the protec-
tion of the guns of his ship. The Mex-
icans, observing this,” determined to
capture him and his men; and, man-
ning four big barges with at least three
times as many inen as Harrison had,
started after him. Harrison’s men
could easily outrow the Mexicans; but
flying from such, an enemy did not
suit the bold Yankee officer, and he
headed the boats straight for the Mex-
icans. The Mexicans’ courage evap-
orated, and they turned about and
fled for their lives the moment the
American rifle balls began whistling in
their ears, and this, too, when they
were supported by field guns on the
beach. No wonder the Yankee sailors
felt themselves vastly the superior of
the timid Mexicans.
The first work of the navy in the
Gulf of Mexico was at the battle of
Palo Alto,
Connor, commander of the Gulf squad-
ron, landed five hundred men to help
protect the garrison left by General
Taylor at Point Isabel. An attack was
made on Alvarado, an important port
south of Vera Cruz, also on Tuspan,
and a second attack on Alvarado; but
these all failed. Captain Calibraith
Perry, brother of Oliver Hagard Perry,
commanding the Mississippi, was sent
against Fontera. This is the same
Perry who afterwards won distinction
for opening the ports of Japan to
American commerce. He had with
him two steamers, the Vixen and Spit-
fire, and four schooners, with two hun-
dred marines and ample crews for all
the vessels. A short distance above
the mouth of the river’, which empties
into the Gulf at Fontera, was a consul
erable fleet of Mexican merchanz' ves-
sels; Captain Perry dashed over the
coast by the United States to prevent'
when Commodore David’
river-bar, with the steamer Vixen our.
two schooners; and surprised and cap-
tured the shipping. The forts and
town surrendered; and Perry ascended
the ‘river seventy-two miles and took
the City- of Tabasco.
But the most important work of the
navy in the Gulf” was the assistance
it rendered in the capture of Vera
Cruz. In (March, 1847, there were
seventy ships and transports before
Vera Cruz, with General Winfield
Scott’s army of 12,000 men on board.
A Combined naval and army attack
was planned. The contest began on
March 9, 1847, with the landing of.
General Scott’s army. On March 22
the land forces opened fire on the city;
and the next d ‘ an attack was made
on the Castle, 1: 'e main fortification of
the city, by the navy At 8 o'clock on
the morning of the 25th the Mexicans
requested that the bombardment of the
city be stopped, and on March 28,1847,
the city of Vera. Cruz was surrendered.
No further work of importance was
done by the navy in the Gulf during
this war.
The war with Mexico gave the navy
few opportunities—Mexico had no
navy and there was no real naval bat-
tles; but, in accomplishing the little
work it was called upon to do, it
showed that the same energy and cour-
age which had made it famous in 1812
still animated its officers and men.
SHADOWGRAPH.
A New Name Given to an Old Time Amus-
uieut which All Enjoy.
Shadowgraphs, a new and coined
name for our old friends, Shadows
on the Wall, with which our grand-
fathers and great-grandfathers used to
delight their grandchildren when the
day was closing, and the candles were
alight, These shadows, indeed, have
lived through centuries, but in late
years have been very much improved
upon, so that now they form a most
fascinating amusement for both old
and young, at entertainments, at home,
at schools, bazaars, etc.
Now, if my readers wish to appear as
entertainers with this most innocent
and mirthful amusement, and they £01-
low out the instructions here given,
taking a careful 'survey of the drawings
illustrating this article, I can assure
them, as a professional entertainer,
that they will succeed; but practice
they must, for without it nothing can
be accomplished.
First and most important is the light.
The stronger the illuminant the better.
For ordinary use the magic lantern
comes first, as it gives a strong and
steady light, and leaves the apartment
in darkness. Then, we can recom—
mend the b Ill’s— —cy e lantern; and last-
ly, even a good candle will answer the
purpose very well.
Whatever light is used, it must be
placed at the back, and nearly oppo-
site the centre of the screen. The dis-
tance therefrom you must determine
for yourself, as: it will depend on the
size of the screen and the space you
wish to cover with light.
By referring to Fig. 1, you will see
the performer at work. For a screen
or sheet to project the shadows on to,
here is shown a wooden hoop, such as
young ladies use for mild exercise at a
certain season of the year, and which
can be purchased cheaply in various
sizes from most. toy-shops.
Having got your wooden hoop, next
procure a piece of calico sufficient to
cover it and turn over at the edges of
the hoop. and then, as you stretch it
carefully, knock in small tacks to fas-
ten it on. You may support it in any
manner that pleases you; but here is
illustrated a single support, which ex~
plains itself. The performer is cast-
ing the shadow of an elephant’s head
upon the sheet.
Meaning of Thumb-Prints.
It is curious to notice that while a
great deal has been written in a scien-
tific spirit of the value of thumb-prints
as a means of identification, no one
has yet found out what these lines in
the thumb mean, or what they may in-
dicate in determining character. The
variations have been traced, and the
fact has been noticed that no two
”thumbs show precisely the same lines.
The lines in the palm of the hand
have been studied, too, for centuries,
and the believers in the possibility of
reading character from the lines in
palm are numerous, even among the
educated. But the gifted scientists and
the palmists stop here. The thumb,
they know, contains lines as remark-
able and as varying as the palm. But
what it all means no one knows, nor
has any one attempted to guess.
When we hark back to the mystical
knowledge of the ancients, it is mar-
vellous that they, too, in many ways
wiser than we, should have been baf-
fled in reading the thumb. And at the
same time they used thumb-prints as
see-.115.
The American Girl.
American girls in good social posi-
tions are allowed more freedom than
the girls of any other nation. The Eu-
ropeans are shocked at the way un-
married womcn in America are permit—
ted to go out alone with young men,
or receive them alone at their homes,
but it is not recorded that the morals
of American women are any the worse
for the liberty allowed them. In the
European «ounuies a young lady must
be under the wing of a chapeione at
e1e1y tu1'.n Ultra fashionable society
in this countly' is taking up the chaper-
one idea mom and more every year—-
but the mass of American girls are still
free to go and come as they please. and
nowhere on earth are the girls so self-
rellant or more virtuous.

PYROGRAPHY THE FAD.

Ladies.
The revival of Pyrography or policr
work, has caused this pretty art to
find its way into almost every fash-
ionable home. It has certainly much
tb recommend it to the homeworker
who likes to employ her time in beau-
tifying her rooms: In the first place
the tools and materials for working
upon are not expensive; secondly, the
work is not difficult, and, finally, the
results are speedily obtained and are
highly satisfactory from an artistic
point of view.
When first starting, all that the
novice will need are the materials that
are suppied in the box in which the
etching machine is sold. The student
Should begin with any bold simple de-
signs, and practice straight lines and
“touches” upon spare pieces of wood.
As the worker improves, it will be
found that a finer “point” than that
provided is required for the more deli-
cate outlines. The most useful for all
round work is the simple cylindrical-
shaped point, which will be found es—
sential for etching clean straight lines
——one the difficulties of poker work.
For c irs, tables, brackets and other
drawing-room decorations, the ordin-
ary white wood answers all purposes.
If a table be selected, a good choice
would be a three-legged one, with
an upper and lower shelf, shaped
in around. This kind of table, besides
being cheap is strongly made and has
the advantage of taking to pieces, so
that each round can be worked upon
with perfect ease. Such a table spec-
ially lends itself to armorial designs.
which can be made exceedingly effec-
tive by the use of oil paints. A nar—
row clrcle of white should be left at
the end of the round, and a neat free-
hand design on a dark surface back-
ground should be etched inside. In
the centre of the table, supported by
the design, the coat of arms must be
emblazoned. On the lower shelf the
same scheme can be carried out,
though it is advisable to have a dif-
ferent design, and the coat of arms
may be substituted for a monogram, a
regimental crest, college arms, and so
on.
The actual painting presents no dif-
ficulty, and only requires neat and
careful work. Ordinary oil paints,
used with pale drying oil, answer the
purpose admirably.
Then as to finishing off a piece of
First,
poker work. all pencil marks
and outlines must be taken out with
indiarubber and bread-crumbs, and
the whole work thoroughly well clean-
ed. Any mistake in burning should
then be taken out as far as possible
with glasspaper (No. 0 or 1), and a
badly—bitten error remedied with the
aid of a fine etching tool. Oh no ac—
count should a knife be used, as it
roughens and splinters the wood.
Then comes the “toning.” One
method of producing a. rich soft tone
is by scorching the wood through the
escape hole in the platinum point.
This should be held near to the sur-
,face of the work, carefully avoiding
touching it with the point, when, by
blowing the bellows, the heat rushes
out and searches the wood. A much
easie1 way, however, is merely to rub
a small quantityr of linseed oil into the
wood, which takes away the very white
look from it.
’ Lastly, a word must be said on com-
pound burning. This is used when
any portion of the wood appears too
dense when finished. A cool point
should then be traced over the g1'o:.:..l.
producing a lighter and more delicate
tone.

The best effects can easily be obtained,
by the simple method of wax polish—
ing. This is inferior to French relish-
ing only in its inability to witlistaizll
wet. The ingredients are ordinary
When these
have been melted and stirred up to the
(consistency of a thick oil a small quan-
tity is rubbed into the wood with a
painter’s brush, and then another
about twice the size of a nail~brusn, is
used for polishing. The secrecof suc-
cess is “elbow grease”. and if this
be duly- remembered and acted upon,
failure will be found impossible, and
very artistic and effective results will
be obtained.

\Tashington, M rch 80.—.-Tl1e State
Depart: 1ent give no official con—
firmation of reports that ofllclalad-
vices from Havana. state that riots
hraded by the W'eyler element, are ap-
p1e‘1ended.
It appears, however, that Captain—
General Blanco has sent a communi-
cation to Washington in which he says
he believes that a. demonstration may
be precipitated at any moment by an
element made up of certain Americans
of strong anti-Spanish tendency in Ha.-
vana. General Blanco states that he
does not fear any disturbances and
riots coming from the Cuban people.
The suggestion that the Weyler ele-
ment is threatening riots is emphati-
cally repudiated by the Captain~Gen~
eral. General Blanco expresses com-
plete confidence in his ability to pre-
serve quiet among the native popu-
lation.
He is convinced, .he says, that a riot-
ous demonstration at Havana amount-
ing to an overt act, designed to precipi—
tate war between the United States
and Spain, is being systematically fo-
mcnted by a certain class of American
citizens.
Blanco clearly and unequivocally de-
clares that the presence of American
correspondents in Cuba make the situ-
ation, in his view, more critical.
Denied in Washington.
Washington, March 30.—Assistant
Secretary Day says that there is no
basis for the reports that riots and
disturbances were threatened in Ha.—
vana. The State Department posted
the following statement:
“A telegram from General Lee shows
there is no occasion for the alarming
reports as 'to the situation in Havana."
The report of riots in Havana led to
the belief that a movement was on foot
to have American ships sent to the
Cuban capital as a measure of protec-
tion to American interests. It is not
likely, however, that this will be done
for the present. Owing to the dis-
quieting reports about trouble at Ha-
vana Judge Day prepared the state-
ment quoted above
This was the only reference Judge
Day would make to many different
stories as to agitation at Havana, the
danger to American citizens there and
the alleged threats against General
Lee's life. The Assistant Secretary
conveyed the strong impression that
these reports of disturbances were not
correct, although he confined his offi-
cial utterance to the brief statement
above given. From an authoritative
source also it was learned that it was
not probable that Amencan naval ves-
sels would be sent to Havana for the
present.
GERMAN BARK MISSING.
Fears for the Safety of Her Crew of
Twenty-one llIeu.
Philadelphia, March 30.—The Ger—
man bark Marie Seid~enburg,from Dub-
lin Jan. 31, in ballast for this port, is
missing, and fears are entertained that
she has foundered with her crew of
twenty—one men. Seventeen days ago
the missing bark was sighted off Scot-
land Lightship, outside o=f New York
harbor, and orders were put on board
of her by a pilot boat addressed to
Capt. Menkens, her master, instructing
him to proceed to Philadelphia, where
she had just been chartered to load
crude oil for Marseilles.
Since that time she has not been
seen or heard from. The mysterious
disappearance of this ship is one of the
strangest events in shipping annals.
She had only one hundred miles to
cover, when last sighted, to reach the
Delaware Capes, and she should have
reported there the next 'day. Tugs are
cruising for her, and her agentslare
watching day and night for news of the
missing ship.

Michael Will Not Be a Jockey.
New York, March 30.—It is definitely
settled that Jimmie Michael, the Welsh
rarebit, will discard horses and once
more take to his first love, the bicycle,
this season. This was determined at
a. meeting yesterday afternoon, when
Michael was engaged for a. series of
six races during the months of July
and August. There were present at
the meeting David G. Shafer, Michael's
manager; Michael, J. C. Kennedy and
William A. Brady, representatives of
the American Cycle Racing Associa-
tion. In the period mentioned Mich-
ael will take part in races conducted
by the American Cycle Racing As-
sociation, but he is at liberty to ride

Soldiers for Tortugas.
Washington, March 30.-——By direction
of Generab Miles, commanding the
army, orders have been issued for the
transfer of the Twenty-fifth Regiment
of Infantry to the Dry Tortugas. The
fact that this regiment is made up of
colored troops is regarded as signifi-
cant in «showing the purpose of the
War Department to concentrate color-
ed troops in the vicinity of Cuba, inas-
much as it is recognized that the ne—
gro is better able to withstand the Cu-
ban climate‘ than the white man. There
are three other colored regiments 1n
the army. Their aggregate strength
is 2.1538.
Three Men B‘ll‘led‘f-in Ruins.
Pittsburg, March 30.-—A new kiln
which was being erected for the Penn-
sylvania (Tar W‘heel Works, on Preble
avenue, Allegheny, collapsed yesterday.
Three men were buried under the mass
of iron and brick and so badly hurt
that they will not recover. When the
accident occurred the men were work.
ing inside the kiln. Some part of the
framework is supposed to have given
way, precipitating the heavy pieces of
iron and other material upon the work-
men."" The mass covering them was
so heavy that considerably difficulty
was experienced in removing them.

BARRELS AND BOTTLES OF PAPER.
inventions That “Till Probably Benefit
Large Consumers.
John ,Yandevelde of Cleveland, is the
inventor of two articles, which will
have a tendency to decrease the price
of several commodities. His inventions
are paper barrels and paper bottles
for beer or other beverages. For a
long time the price of many liquid
commodities sold in bulk has been
gauged by the price of the barrels in
which they are transported. The bar-
rels are constructed for the greater
part of paper cardboard, which is im-
pervious to water. They are slightly
shorter in height than the ordinary
barrrel, but will hold as much, as they
are without the usual bilge of the
wooden barrel. The paper in the walls
of the barrel is three-fourths of an
inch in thickness, of many plies, be-
tween which are thick coatings of a.
specially prepared glue.. About the
middle of the barrel is a single hoop
of steel, three inches wide and three-
eights of an inch thick. This, there—
fore,extends from the barrel to such a
distance as to permit of the barrel be-
ing readily swung about on its center.
Pressed over the ends of the walls of
the barrel are rims of pressed steel
three-fourths of an inch thick and ex-
tending downward three inches. It is
on an indented surface in the inner
portion of this rim that the head of the
barrel rests. The heads are also made
ofpaper, slightly thicker than that in
the walls of the barrel. They are‘held
in place by three bolts passing tl11 ougli
the ”barrel from end to end. Nuts 01’
each end hold them in place and per?
mil; of the heads being easily remove-l
or placed in short or_der.—-T'oledo L‘ 1111- T

admirer of Benjamin and he deter-

of his own life. He was placed on a
