History of Its Salo to the Japanese
Government--A Curious Story.
11om the St. Joseph (Mo.) Xews.
ST. JOsEPu, November 16 -Rov
.E. R. Hendrix, in his highly
'nteresting lecturo on the Japanoso,
mentioned the fact that tho cele
brated ran Stonewall was at pros
ont owned by the Japanose govern
mont.
Thoro being a little talo connect
ed with the arrival of the Stonewall
in Japan, which may interest the
roadors of your paper, I will relato
it.
The Confederate ironclad ram
Stonewall came, after the un
pleasantness, into the hands of the
United States Navy Department,
and was, in 1867, sold to the
Tycoon of Japan for $1,500,000.
The money was paid out of the
private funds of the Tycoon, and
one of the most trustworthy officers
of the United States Navy, Com,
mander Brown, was granted one
year furlough to accept the position
of commandor of the Stonewall and
convey her to the Japan Empiro.
This was a very hazardous un
dertaking, but it was accomplished,
and the voyage around the Cape
of Good Hope, if properly told,
would fill a volumo.
In 1868 the Southern Daimios
of Japan, jealous of the prominenco
the family of the Tycoon had
enjoyed in the empire for many
generations, captured the Mikado,
then at Tokio (not the present.
Tokio which then wvas called Jeddo),
and declared war against thme
Tycoon, who at that time resided
in Osaka. The Tycoon escaped
from that city, and his castle was
fired by Satsuma's army. To give
you an idea of the construction of
said castle, I will say that some of the
stones composing the w'dl around it
wvere sixty feet long by forty broad
and twenty thick. There being nt o
stone of that description found
within fifty miles of Osaka, it is
impl1ossible to underst,andl in what
manner they wore conveyed to Osaka
at the building of said castle. The
Tycoon fled to the northern p)rovin
ces of the emipire, and the
Daimios there aided him with
an army. Arms and munitions
of war wore sold to both
p)artios by English and American
residents of Japan. Well, the wvar
was raging nicely;: nobody could
toll who woiuld win, when one fine
morning, the Tycoon's iron-clad
Stonowvall, steamed into the harbor
of Yokohama, flying the Tycoon's
ensign on the peak and the Star
Spangled Banner on the fore.
Of course everybody in Yokohama
knew of the sale and departure of
the Stonewall, by the Amercan
papors, and expected that she
would be turned over to th'o
Tycoon's agents, who already woere
awaiting her arrival. But themy
wore not diplomaits, and did not
see the "grease" in this arrival.
The American Ambassador then
in Japan saw his opportunity, andl
improved it. Tihe agents of the
Tycoon woero told that, as the
Stonewall had not yet Japaneso
papers, she was yet an American
vessel, and.the American Ambassa
dor would take charge of her for
the time being-"just wvait a few~
days, and all would be satisfactory,'
etc.
American man-of--war's-men tooli
charge of the ram and the Southeri
Daimtios were privately informned
(of course nof, by the Ambassador)
that the Stonewall was in Japan
An American missionary, horrifee
at the prospect of war being pro.
longed by the adldition of the
Stonewall to the Tycoon's forces
anxious that.'the sacrifice of humai
lives should be stopped, and wtor
anxious still to get is finge
pie in the hp fedn
heomethro-etee int tha
and the diplomatic brain of the
American Embassador being prop
orly greased by the application of
$160,000 worth of lubricating
matQrialti, Vattell on International
Law was oponed and the Tycoon
l9st the Stonowall. The ship laid
in the harbor of Yokohama for somo
time, and when tha greaso was
dried up and the missionary had
sent his dripping ($10,000 worth)
home, the vessel for which the
Tycoon had paid with his own
privato money was turned over to
his enemies and aided in giving him
the tinishing blow in tho battle of
Hakodadi.
"GOT Hin TiAlt."-A hater of
tobacco asked an old negro woman,
the fumes of whose pipe were an,
noying him, if she thought she was
a Christian.
"Yes, bruddor, I'spects I is."
"Do you believe in the Bible ?"
"Yes, brudder."
"Do you know that there is a
passage in the Scriptures which
Bays that nothing unclean shall
inherit tho kingdom of Heaven ?"
"Yes, I'v heard it."
"Well, Chloe, you smoko; and
you cannot ontor the Kingdom of
Heaven, because there is nothing
so unclean thero as the breath of a
smoker. What do you say to
that?"
"Why, I 'spects to leave my breff
behind when I go thar I"--Boson
Globe.
"Please accepti a lock of my hair,"
said a hbaclielor to a hmdsome widow
wiom he was wooing. "Hadn't you
better give me tho wholo wig ?"
shie sarcastically asked ; to which ho
responded: "You are very biting,
madam, considering that your tooth
are porcelain."
