BEGINNING OF JAPAN'S NAVY. Confederate Boat Stonewall Jackson First of Its Modern Warships. Probabll no officer of tbe American nary has followed tbe development of that of Japan with greater interest, says The New York Tribune, than ? Lieut. Henry E. Rhoades, now on duty at the Brooklyn navy yard, for he was officially identified with the beginning of the navy of Japan as far back as 1868. A reporter of The Tri bune called on him Tuesday, but he was disposed to express himself guard edly, because of his official position. "When asked if he was not one of the American navy officers who received appointments in 1868 to aid in the or ganization of the Japanese navy, he replied: ?*I believe that the credit for the Japanese navy may be placed to tbe American navy officers. It really be gan with the purchase of the armor clad Stonewall Jackson (later named the Adzuma) from the Uuited States government in 1866, although thecon structiou of the naval dockyard at Yokoska was commenced in 1865, un der the supervision of a French engi neer. This was not completed till 1879. It cost nearly $2,500,000. The Stonewall Jackson was built in France, under a contract with the Danish government, and was to be known as the Spbynx, but as this was about the time of the closiDg of the Schleswig-,Holstein* war, and there was delay in the completion of the ves sel, Denmark became lukewarm in carrying out tbe terms of the pur chase, and the boat passed iuto the possession of the Confederates. She put to .sea soon afterward, but owing to some derangement of the . steering machinery she ran into Fer rol, Spain, for repairs, in Feb., 1865, where were lying the American war vessels Niagara and Sacramento. The commander of the American vessels allowed the Stonewall to escape, and she went to Lisbon, and thence across the Atlantic to Havana. Here she lay until after the close of the civil war, and was then given up by Spain to the United States. Later the Stonewall was sold to Japan, and she was sent over there by the United States under command of Captain (now Rear Ad miral) George Brown, and deli vered to Yokohoma in the latter part of the spring of 1868." Ram's Horn Blasts. There can be no living Christianity without a living Christ. Working is vain without waiting. God writes lust on every license. A big head has no show against a big heart. Men ask for advice when they seek approval. An absorbing interest is the secret of happiness. Love never joins in the chorus when malice sings. You cannot do God's work with the devil's wages. A variety show church is apt to show a sad variety of fruits.. If God is testing you you may know He does not detest you. We all admire a pusher, providing he is pushing someone else. The only way to keep your religion sweet is to keep it circulating. Honor is the attribute of the noble and the excuse of the unworthy. We can believe that science is the wisdom of God when it shows us the wf>y to God. The conquest of truth makes a man a king. No man ever lived long enough to regret the right. The religion of the Son of Man will surely be manlv. Pride fosters our foes and puts our friends to flight. It requires no special virtue to praise the right and pursue the wrong. There can be no such thing as a mass of people. The Word that does nob heal must harden. Pre.kent adversity is easier to bear than past prosperity. Honored at Home. Rev. Parker Hole1?", Pastor of the 1 1st M. E. Church South, Hickory, N. C.,says: "I have used Kydalcs Stom ach Tablets for indigestion and regard them as a perfect remedy for t his dis ease.

' A Lady from the North Insulted by a Negro at Aikon. A dispatch from Aiken to The State says Sunday night about ten o'clock a negro man accosted a lady on South Boundary street, and when she screamed and ran he chased her fur i several hundred yards and also fired a pistol at her twice. The lady is a northerner?Miss Kirke?and is a trained nurse who is treating a pa tient in a family of Boston people here for the season. The family have rented the Williams cottage on South ! Boundary street. Miss Kirke is spend ing the season at Mrs. Ashlfy's itcut 300 yards away, on the same street. Sunday evening was darK and rainy and after supper Miss Kirke left Mrs. Ashley's for the home of the patient, carrying a lantern to guide her. As she entered the gate of the William's place she saw a negro standing beside the fence. Miss Kirke asked him if he desired to see some one and the man replied that he was waiting for his aunt, who was cooking for the family. Miss Kirke passed into the houce and left at about 10 o'clock to return to Mrs. Ashley's, as usual. There are no building* between the two houses, but the ground is covered with tall grass and some bushes. With the lady were two dogs, and as they passed a small clump of bushes they growled and barked. The lady turned out into the road and as she j did so the light of her lantern reveal ed a negro peering from behind thej oushes. She fcreamed and n: zvA the negro called "come here." She' continued running and the negro called "come here" the second time. When she did not stop he ran after her and tired twice with a pistol. The negro chased her for about 100 j yards, and then a young man at the j house, hearing screams and the tiring ; ran out and shot at the man several j times. When the matter was report-1 ed to the police this morning the) premises were searched and there were found footsteps showing that, the negro had walked around tne wn-1 liaras house and then went and hid behind the bushes and waited for the I lady to return.
