.and worse.
A PASSING FACE.
’Twas but a moment. Long enough to feel
The grateful presence of her quiet grace,
And at her beauty’s shrine a moment kneel,
To mark the sweetness of her gentle face.
To catch a glance from out her downcast eyes.
A fleeting light of violet, more rare
Thanall the colors of the summer skies,
That but a moment lingered fluttering there.
A moment. ‘ Then she vanished; yet to stay
Within my memory, as some distant strain
Of music, rising slowly, dies away,
But fingers yet when all is still again.
Or as a dream that flits across the mind
When care is bound by all forgetting sleep,
Too soon will vanish, but yet leave behind
A gentle sweetness that the senses keep.
If fate had been but kinder. 'Who can tell
Our paths had been the same and, hand in hand,
Together we had wandered o’er the fell
And crossed the border of the unknown land?
We met to meet no more. Upon the sea
Of life we pass like ships. A moment seen,
A signal shown, a shout thrown cheerily,
Then darkness, waves and distance stretch be-
tween.

A Judicious Host.
John Kenyon always made a point of
asking any foreigner who was also a
stranger in London to a small dinner of
three or four-that he might have an oppor-
tunity of making intimacies before being
launched into general society. At Ken-
yon’s table there was a marked absence of
all reviewers or appraisers of literary wares;
and he was strongly averse from encourag-
ing a “mutual admiration” clique. He
had a line sense of the fitness of things.
“I never ask Dickens and Thackeray to«
gether now. I did so once, and found it
was a mistake,” said Kenyon to the writer,
adding, with a touch of'humor peculiarly
his own, “and I do not always ask hus—
band and wife to the same parties. They
are addicted to setting each other right
about small details, which is very aggra-
vating, and often turns the point of a
story. What does it matter whether the
bishop met ‘Devil Crosse’ and ‘Satin Mont-
gomcry’ at the Browns on Friday or. at the
Smiths on Monday? It is enough for us to
know that his lordship was in good com-
pany.
“The Sydney Smiths,” Kenyon went on
to say, "are a couple who ought to be asked
together, for she leads up to her husband’s
jokes and laughs at the right moment. I
remember their neighbor Esdailc saying
she must have been well beaten before she
could have been brought into such good
training. But Esdaile had a grudge against
Sydney Smith for calling the country gen-
tlemen of Somerset ‘the fat Boeotians.’ ”—

An Actress as Nurse.
“There is not a more popular little we-
man in the profession than Marie Jansen,”
said a young man who is wellknown about
town. “She has the biggest sort of a
heart and will do anything for a fellow.
Did you ever hear how good she was to Jim
Meade, of Chicago, when he was laid up at
the Adams house? No? TVell, Jim’s big
toe was so badly demoralized by an attack
of gout that he could not get out of bed. A
lot of us fellows used to go up and keep
him company. Marie was playing with
’Wilson at that time and was stopping at
the same hotel.
“The Chicago manager was an old friend
of hers and when she heard of his sorry
plight she paid him a visit and offered to
dress his afflicted feet. It happened that
the cloth used 'for bandages was all Out.
Instead of sending for more, this gay Sa-
maritan took a dainty lace handkerchief
from her pocket, and, after dousing it well’
with the gout medicine, tenderly bound up
Jim’s sore toe. It made him feel pretty
good, I can tell you, and as soon as he was
able to get about he purchased a basket of
roses, tied the handkerchief about the han-
dle and sent them over the footlights to his
fair nurse. I believe Marie has that hand—
kerchief preserved in her scrap book, along
with a lot of pleasant newspaper notices.”
—Boston Globe.
Do Insects Count?
Several instances of apparent counting
are mentioned by Sir John Lubbock in his
“Senses of Animals,” as exhibited by in—
sects. The several species of eumenes, for
instance, supply their young with definite
numbers of victims; and, while the males
are smaller than the females, and require
less food, the insect seems to know whether
the egg will produce a male or a female
grub, and apportions the quantity of food
accordingly, giving five victims to the male
and ten to the female. It is suggested by
Mr. G. A. Freeman that the matter is one
of physiological interval. The male eggs
follow one another in less time than the
female, giving time to store a smaller num-
ber of caterpillars before the next egg has
to be provided for.

praise on the part of the outlaw. When

Texas, when it
first took shape,
had no naval arm-
ament and leaned
upon the mercen-
ary support of ad-
venturers, smug-
glers and pirates
—all who fought
where there was
the most booty.
In 1836, the cabi-
net looked around
for a seaman to organize and command a
fleet of war. The choice fell upon Ed-
ward ’Ward Moore, a young Virginian, 25'
years of age, at that time a fleet com-
mander in the United States service. He
had been engaged in western explorations
and had won distinction in West Indian
waters battling with the pirates; he was a
gentleman of family and fortune and more-
over a warm friend of Texas and her ambi-
tious people. The Texan government in—
vestedhim with the rank of commodore,
and he resigned from the ”United States
navy to join his fortunes to the Lone Star
republic.
The population of Texas was less than
40,000, and her resources had been drained
by repeated conflicts with the Mexican and
Indian enemies who gave the colonists no
peace. Moore pledged his private fortune,
which for those days was large, and aided
by the credit which his conduct secured
for the new state, procured a small fleet
and stationed it off the coast.
The United States acknowledged Texas’
independence in 1837, France in 1830, and a
year later England, Holland and Belgium.
Meanwhile the murderous Comanches and
other savages on her northern borders kept
up a tedious and costly war inland; the ad—
ministration changed from Houston in
1836 to Lamar in 1838 and back to Houston
in 1841. The condition of the treasury was
that there was no treasury at all, excepting
a bale of invoices owing in all quarters.
Moore’s navy, amounting to half a dozen
wooden vessels, was eating up his own re-
sources and doing little for Texan inde—
pendence except to warn oll’ the despicable
batteries flying the Mexican flag. But the
plucky commodore did not grow disheart—
ened. His extensive acquaintance and fair
demeanor made him a host in himself, and
drew support from individuals and munici-
palities outside of Texas. He kept on 'e-
cruiting and disciplining his men. For 11—
nately for Texas there was another rebel—
lion against the usurpation of Santa Anna
in 1842; the state of Yucatan, then compris-
ing the present Yucatan and Campeachy,
threw 011' the yoke and gave the dictator a
war nearer home. Moore sailed for Yuca-
tan and lay off Campeachy to await the
movements of the forces on land.
But the rebellion of Yucatan, like all
Mexican uprisings, was the work of a fac—
tion, and there was treachery and delay.
Besides, Mexico had just expended a vast
sum in Engiand for a new fleet of war ves-
sels, including the steamers Montezuma
and Guadaloupe. Moore’s vessels were
sailors and all old, and carried but five
guns each. Houston ‘was alarmed at the
turn of affairs and recalled Moore at once.
The trip to the seat of war, however, far
from cooling the enthusiasm of the young
commodore, filled him with fresh zeal for
the cause of Texan independence.
English government, though friendly to
Texas, desired to have it remain out of the
hands of the United States, and kept a. fleet
cruising convenient for any emergency.
The United States government was also
on hand with a force on the Mexican wa—
ters to protect her interests and secure the
large indemnity due on Mexican guaran-
tees. Moore reported to his superiors that
if given a suitable outfit he could blockade
the Mexican ports on the Atlantic side, as
the rebellion of Yucatan had already closed
along strip of coast to Mexican trade. A
successful blockade would bring about for—
eign interference, and Mexico would be
compelled to'treat for peace. Houston pro-
claimed a blockade on these representa-
tions, and ordered the commodore to repair
to Mobile and New Orleans to refit and
strengthen his command for a contest with
the new Mexican navy.
The serviceable vessels under Moore at
this time were the brig-of-war Austin and
the schooner San Antonio. A third, the
, Wharton, was bought at New Orleans and
; all haste was made to get to sea. Lack of
funds was the chief drawback, forthe little
state could spare but $90,000 of her depre-
ciated currency to expend on the navy.
Mexico’s fleet had cost $1,000,000 in gold.
Moore’s large acquaintance and his repu~
tation for energy again served a. good turn,
and he soon had his vessels ready and only
needed funds and supplies for the crews.
One vessel only, the San Antonio, had a
complement, and she was sent out in
, August to meet the Mexican steamer
' Montezuma, which was ofi Yucatan.
The San Antonio was struck by a storm
which destroyed her, and Moore was left
stranded at New Orleans with only the
Austin and the Wharton, and no provis-
ions or sailors. Alarmed now for the fate
of the remaining vessels, in view of the
strength of his adversary, Houston rec—
ommended a sale of the ships, and a secret
act was passed authorizing. the disarma-
ment. '
JIBBOOM AND STEAMPIPE SHOT AWAY.
Moore, who was offered funds from
Yucatan and his friends in New Orleans if
he would help the Yucatecos. against Santa
Anna, replied to the summons to return to
Texas that he had paid for his ships and
would do as he liked. Then Houston sent
three commissioners after Moore, but the
latter would not obey. - , v
After a deadlock of weeks the commo-
dore, having a truce with one commissioner,
replied to the imperious president, under
date of March 16, 1843, that he “expected
to go to sea in a few days and keep at it
until the termination of our diflculties

with Mexico, without expense to the gov-
ernment of Texas.” He told the commis-
sioner that, if permitted to go to the Mexi-‘
can coast, he would levy a contribution
against that country that would repay
Texas for every dollar expended on- her
navy. I-Ie sailed in a few days, as agreed,
with the Austin and W'harton, having
Houston’s commissioner on board, and
made for the bay of Campeachy, on the
coast of Yucatan. -
Campeachy was besieged by Santa Anna
and the Mexican fleet was watching the
harbor. Moore reached there at the close
of April, and on the 30th, while his vessels
were separated and becalmed, the Monte-
zuma and the Guadeloupe opened fire on
the \Vharton. The Texans made a gallant
fight, handling their vessel with skill and
outworking the Mexicans with their guns.
The jibboom and steam pipe of the Monte-
zuma were shot away, and the loss on the
two steamers was nearly fifty killed and
wounded.
The tharton bore the brunt of this at‘
tack and lost but six men. One Mexican
ball entered the port hole, decapitating a
gunner and wounding two or three com- ‘
rades. The Austin, which lay at a dis-
tance, becalnied, got underway with the
first breeze and the Mexicans speedily
crawled off to avoid fllI‘b/Ilel‘ damage. The
next day the whole (list of war vessels,
seven in number, returned to the scene, but
refused to fight. Moore spent over two
days maneuvering to draw them into ac-
tion, but as soon as he get within range
they ran off. He said, “I would give ten
years of my life if I had a steamer, as with
one I could get close action at once and de-
cide the fate of Texas.” On the 10th oi
May the Yucatccos made a gallant fight
on land to raise the siege. The Texan com-
modore commanded the Yucatecos vessels
as well as his own and helped demolish a
strong battery by fire from his gunboats.
During the battle he again stood for the
Mexican fleet, but there was no wind and
the enemy ran away as usual.
Moore was soon placed in a, very critical
position. President Houston, on finding
that the navy had gone to Yucatan, pub-
lished his proclzunation denouncing Moore
everywhere. The terms were very severe
and made the commodore an outlaw.
Santa Anna at once set a price upon his
head, calling him a pirate, and at the same
time, the battle of May 10 having gone
against him, made overtures to the people
of Yucatan to suspend their quarrel and
jointly fall upon Texas. This was favor-
ably received by the insurrectionists, and
Moore was left alone, surrounded by ene-
I.\' HIS FACE.
SNAPPED ms FIXGEE
mics and traitors. He wrote to his gov-
ernment in reply to Houston’s charges: “I
am accused of fitting out a piratical expe-
dition when, in fact, I was using every
means and straining every nerve to get the
vessels to sea in a fighting condition.”
There was but one way to solve the dif-
ficulty and that was to whip the Mexican
fleet single handed. On the 16th of May,
favored by a good breeze, he went out with
the Austin and Wharton and attacked the
steamers Montezuma and Guadaloupe.
His seamanship was masterly and it was
to that that he owed his selection from
among all the officers of the United States
navy to command the Texas marine. In
two hours’ time he compelled the Mexi-
cans to ask for mercy and leisure for re-
pairs. About half their crews were killed
or wounded. Moore’s flagship, the Austin,
had received fifteen shots and her crew had
suffered heavily. The wind died away, and
the Austin, becalmed, drifted into the har-
bor, the enemy hauling off toward Vera
Cruz. 1" ‘1‘.”
A few days after this battle the Texan
secretary of war revoked the orders of the
commodore and demanded that he return
to the capital in arrest. Taking advantage
of this the people of Yucatan turned
against him, hoping, of course, to avoid
paying their debt for his services. The
Yucatan commissioners were already treat-
ing with Santa Anna, fighting was over,
and the Mexican fleet disbanding by rea-
son of deserti’on and want of funds. Moore
turned over his vessels to the next in com-
mand and took refuge in an English ship
lying in the waters. Before leaving the
coast, however, he succeeded by a daring
effort in literally snapping his fingers in
the face of the braggart Santa Anna, who
was plotting right and left to get the
plucky Texan into his clutches.
The Old dictator was himself down to his
final card. He had met his last payment
on the United States indemnity bya forced
levy on private wealth. His people hated
him and he was in terror for his life, keep-
ing a bodyguard of 5,000 men. To ward off
the coming storm a new constitution was
framed, and on his birthday he ordered a
grand fete in honor of the two events. It
was held at Vera Cruz and ended with a
masked ball, to Which the officers of the
friendly vessels in the harbor were invited.
None of Moore’s associates suspected that
he would risk his life on Mexican soil, but
he managed to secure aid and leave the
ship in a private yawl and reach the ball-
room unobserved. A friend, who was in
the plot, had a domino exactly like the
commodore’s, and kept it hidden for an
em angina); .
Moore enjoyed thehall, but all strangers
were under espionage, and as his short,
stout figure was well knownto many res-
out, he soon found himself wahahed. ow
was his time. At a signal his confederate
retired to an anteroom and Moore. went
up to the dictator, who was on the Inor,
and touched him rudely on the shouldzr.
Santa Anna turned, when Moore snappcl
his finger audaciously in his face and
danced away with a. tantalizing, “catch-
who-can” gesture and hurried to the ante-
room. In an instant his domino was off,
disclosing asecond disguise entirely differ-
ent. The confederate was ready to go out
as his double, and While Moore went away
to his ship the other sauntered around the
ballroom to be nabbed and unmasked in
the course of a few moments by Santa An-
na’s henchmen.
Of course, the mistake was discovered as
soon as the domino was torn off, and then
the dictator ordered all masks off. The
place was searched and the city also, and
to no purpose, for Moore had gained time
by_the trick and was rowing awa to the
ship ere the alarm had fairly sprea . There
was left one menace to the commodore’s
peace, and that was the hostility of Hous-
ton and his cabinet. With characteristic
boldness Moore sailed straight for Galves-
ton, reported to the na department in
arrest, and went before t econgress with
a petition stating his case with simplicity
and frankness. As a result he received a
vote of thanks and a grant of 4 000 acres of
the choicest land along the razos. ,,He
had. sacrificed his commission in the Uni-
ted States navy, ,but after the annexation
of Texas congress voted him leave pay
amounting to a large sum. ’
GEORGE L. KILMER.
TH E DINING ROOM.
Suggestions for Interior Decorations-,
Sideboard, Table and Chairs.
The mind of man is so susceptible to
outward influences that he naturally falls
into harmony with his surroundings, and ~
takes upon himself the tone of thought
and feeling which is suggested by them.
If the room in which he lives or dines
strikes him as unsuitably constructed, or
ill adapted to its intended use, the sense of
incongruity which arises harasses and an-
noys him. Badly combined colors, or rooms
which are awkwardly planned, and whose
decorations and furniture are ugly and in-
harmonious, set the example of discord
and. ill humor to its inmates. It has been
said that the planners of our houses have a
greater influence in forming our charac-
ters than the preachers, as the influence of
one’s surroundings is more lasting. If
bluesky, bright sun and green fields make
our hearts rejoice, why should not pleas-
ant, comfortable homes ? If dull days,
dreary landscapes and barren fields make
people feel gloomy and sad, why should
not sour tempers and morose dispositions
be fostered by badly lighted, awkwardly
planned and hideously decorated rooms ?
For the four walls of a room are the only
landscape many people see from one day to
another.
DINING ROOM CHAIR.
The proper aspect for the dining room is
the cast or south, as it is more cheerful,
warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One can scarcely imagine a pleasanter
greeting than the rays of the morning sun,
which temper the air with a softness which
arouses all the instincts of our better na—
ture. A dining room with a western as-
pect is objectionable, as it is cheerlcss and
cold in the morning and receives too much
sunshine in the latter part of the day. and
lighted directly from the west those sitting
at one side of the table would receive the
light directly in their faces. The light in
a dining room should come from one end,
. as fewer of those sitting at the table will
be inconvenienced by having the light
shine directly in their eyes.
Again, if the light be at the side of the
room, the plates of one-half of those sit-
ting at the table will be in shadow, as well
as their faces, which will also be unpleas—
ant. TVhen lighted at the end it is better
to separate the windows so that the light
may be evenly and uniformly diffused in
the room, which would not be the case if
the windows were closely grouped in the
middle. It is also advisable to secure a
secondary light at the other end of the
room when possible.
The sideboard, which is an important
. feature in the dec-
oration of a din-
' ing room, should
be placed in a re
cess provided for it
at one side of the
room—opposite or
‘ at right angles to
the direction of
the principal
light, as nothing is
more destructive
of any artistic ef-
fect than the light
from a window di-
rectly above the
sideboard. Since
-. the dining room is
, lighted more ef-
fectively from the end, likewise the fire-
place will be more convenient and artistic
in effect if placed at the opposite end; be—
sides, fewer people will have the fire at their
back, a point worthy of consideration.
A dining room should not be a mere eat-
ing box; there should be sufficient room at
the sides and ends for seating space, furni-
ture against the walls, and a passage be-
tween for scrvin g. Supposing the smallest
width of a dining room table to be 3 feet,
the sitting space from table to back of chair
16 inches, space for serving back-of chairs
2 feet and 8 inches, without allowing any
space for furniture against the wall, the
least width for a dining room, possible,
would be 11 feet; if the table be 7 feet long
the shortest length admissible would be 12
feet and six inches. If we allow space for
furniture against the walls with addition
of above, it would require a room 14 feet
6 inches by 17 feet.
The colors of the walls may be richer
and deeper in tone than would be suitable
for the parlor. The woodwork which seems
best adapted for the finish and furniture of
this room is oak. Either in its natural
color or stained to resemble antique oak.
In either case the color of the walls may be
olive or subdued red or yellow. A hard-
wood floor neatly polished adds much to
the neatness of the whole finish.
