- rat CHAPTER III Continued. "I am William Fox, Captain of her Majesty's cruiser Wanderer, and right honored am I, dear sir, to salute and welcome you," replied the Captain, grasping the Squire's htm l. "And my Mend," said the Squire, with another bow nnd a wave of his left hand, as he turned to the gentltiman in the bottle-green coat, "is Dr. Kehemiah Hedges, late representative of this county in ho Majesty's Provincial Assembly, surgeon to tho First Suffolk Volunteers, and our chief physician at this end of the island." "And may heaven long spare him to keep health to the people and to refloct honor on the crown," said Captain Fox, giving both hands to the doctor, vrho, being a very modest man. blushed at the complimentary words of his friond, and the almost forgotten titles of which he found himself the possessor. Captain Fox presented his visitors to the officers not on duty, and then all adjourned to the cabin, where the lamps were lit, and Don, under the directions of Lieutenant Frenauld, bad set out crystal flagons of wine, wiih a great array ot such glasses as the provincial gentlemen had never put eyes on before. "Gentlemen," said tho Captain, when all the glasses were tilled, "permit me and my officers to drink to your long life and continued prosperity, and to welcome you with nil heartiness on board the "Wanderer. "I but seldom drink wine, and never prescribe it," said Doctor Hedges, lookover his wineglass at tho captain, "not that I object to the fluid in moderate quantities, but that it is so difficult to find on this coast the pure vintage in which our fathers delighted, I drink to you." The glasses were drained, and the captain hastened to say: xou cannot una that fault with tnn wine you have just tasted, for It has been twice arciunJ the world in the wood, and like sherry, burgundy improves by travel, and unlike some of ourselves, it grows better and purer as the years pass over it." "Ah, It is rare wine, in truth," said Squire Condit, smacking his lips, and raising his glass to inhale the aroma. "But though our wines cannot be praised, we feel that our brandy is not inferior, and Governor Dungan, who honored us with a visit not long since, assured me that our epleed rum was superior to anything ot the kind he had ever tasted. "I hope to confirm the the governor's judgment before I sail hence," said the captain. lou snau nave a cnanco to do so tonight," said vho squire, with more enthu siasm than he ordinarily manifested, for being a law officer and a deacon, he felt that reserve was essent'al to sustain the dignity of his dual honors. "I am the guardian or rather I was the guardian-of Captain lialnh Denham, whom I have grown to look on as a son; and Doctor Hedges is the brother of the Bret officer, and the un.le ol the Peeond officer of the Sea Hawk." "Then let me congratulate you both," said the captain, agatn shaking hands with his visitors, "for though I have not the honor rf a personal acquaintance with the officers of the Sea Hawk, news of their brave exploits In tho West Indies has reached mo at the other side of the worlo, where the Wanderer has been cruising till ordered to these waters. " "You must como nnd dine with them to-night," said the doctor. "After dinner at my house we adjourn to the squire's, where there will be music and dancing." "A concession I make to the brave sailors who have be n so long away,"" exclaimed the squire. "There will be those who, on the morrow, will say, Deacon Goodwill Condit has done that for which he should be disciplined by the eonaregation.' But should they do so, I will reply, 'I danced not. and I was not my own master on the oeoa"An excuse that should exonerate you with tho most rigid," laughed Captain Fox; adding as ho waved his hand to Don, "wo must try one more glass before you leave." Both visitors protested that they had had enough. " Then you will honor mo by permitting me to send each of you a cask tomorrow." The captain said this in a way that gave no chance for refusal, and then he escorted the squire and doctor to tho deck; and at his command the sailors sprang into the rigging and cheered as the little yawl bore the delighted old gentlemen away. CHAPTER IV. 1HG FI.AST OUTLINED. After the boat had been gone a few seconds, Captain Fox named t!ie officers he expected to accompany him ashore hat night, and then told them to report at once in his cabin, "Gentlemen," he said, when the officers were gathered about the table, from which Don, the cabin boy, had removed the flagons and glasses, "this is a night to test each man's power of self-control. I shall expect you all to drink, or to seem to do so; but the man who bocomes drunken mast tnke the consequences. I cannot forget that at Merlda, Cartagena and Para, .some of you so far forgot yourselves a4 to get drunk and bring on lights with the natives, who drove you to your boats, and who in their just anger, would have seized ' our snip nau 1 not tunica tne guns on them. Wo cannot avail ourselves of such a remedy here. Kach man must appear to be what the people believe us, Olllcers and gentlemen in tho service of England. At one o'clock I shall expect you to be on board; in the meantime remember sealed lips and o;en orders." Captain Fox waved his right hand, odd the officers, Frenauld excepted, withdrew. "Ha, Frenauld," f-aid tho Captain, when he and his chief executive officer had tho cabin to themselves: "as of old our good luck follows. By tho spirit of Blake, sir! things could not have happened bettor. " "I am glad for your sake," replied Frenauld. "Aye, aye, my lad, and for your own sake, too. Zounds! Lieutenant, are we not to be sharers in th great prize?" "Yes, Captain; but you will not aet without seeing his lordship?" "Do not say 'lordship;' say 'Col. Graham.' Why, man, if these" provincials know there was a live lord among them they would eat liim up with adulation. Remember, we must speak of I'ol. Graham of the guards; Graham who, under Churchill, led the de isivn charge on the French at, the battle of Walcourt. Ha, ha, ha! This crulso has its comical aspects; it is play instead of hard work. Why, I expected t blow yonder ship out of water before this. But the Colonel will eomo down, us per arrangement from Boston, and ho will be thunderstruck to find us aitlo by side." "And very naturally s . I must say you will never have a better chance to get rid of him." "To get rid of this Denham, eh, Frenauld'r "I said to get rid of him. Captain." "But, confound it, I don't want to get rid of him." "I thought the Colonel wanted birr out of tho way?"' . "So he does, but I don't. His lord-- j sonfc-Hud my slippery tongue, weaaj

tho Colonel, wants him disposed oft and t niUst make hint b'olldvb that wb have earned the money; but Denham, alive and in our power, is worth more to us than the richest galleon that, silverfreighted, ever plowed the sea." "Ah, but to get him in our power without a tight; that, in truth, would be an exploit worthy of yourself." "And it shall be done, Frenauld; it shall bo done. Oh, I will court the jouth. He is generous, brave, nnd unsuspicious. I will flatter and dazzle lim. If ho loves wine, as a good sailor should, may I bo shot If I havo him not i t sea before six tides have Hooded this bay." " Jry heart beats faster at the thought, " (aid Frrnnuld, with unaffeetod joy. "Aye, my lad, and it shall leap with perpetual delight after the crowning oxjdoit of our cruise is flnlsliod. Now, caution, prudence, patience, and our object masked, like a Dutch battery, with evergreens, roses, and Moating twans; oh, Frenauld'" "1 hat is it, Captain." hComo; wo have no time to spare, Tho dinner awaits us ashore, and If to night the officers of tho Wanderer make no impress on the hearts ot tho fair dames of this island, then have they forgotten in works of war the ways of love, and it will be tho first time in all my experioneo that I ever knew such a thing to happen." Capt Fox was in high spirits, but Frenauld did not presumo on this, for he well knew that tho smile could change in the space of a lightning flash to a frown, and that the sentenoe begun in the softest accents might end In tones of thunder, CHAFTKR V, " BT TtlH SHORB. There were bonfires along the beach, and swarms of boats passing, with happy crowds aboard, between the ship and the shore. When the Wanderer's cutter grated on the sand, the people cheored the offloers and crew as if they were old friends. And tho Squire and the Doctor, with Captain Denham and bis officers were there to meet ihirn. And after introductions that soenied unnecessary, and salutations full of honest heartiness, a procession was formed and all marohed to Doctor Hodges' house, which was now illuminated from the door of the summer-kitchen to the highost Of the little dormer windows, that looked like single eyes set in the brows Of tho quaint gables. Mrs. Hedges and Mrs. Condit, with their blooming daughters, welcomed tho strangers in the Wide hall ' that ran directly through the comfort able old building, and then led them Into the low parlor, the red hangings of whioh had not yet been removed for the summer. Mrs. Hedges thought this was fortunate, because the evening was cool, and then, with a mother's pride in tho beauty of her daughter, she thought the dark crimson curtains reflected something of their warmth on Lea's cheeks. But a greater master than ever gave color to a fabric bad limned the hues of youthful health on the cheeks of Lea Hedges and her friend, Ellen Condit; and Captain Fox thought as' he waiohed them, without appearing to do so, that their eyes were more brilliant and beautiful than the gems which he and his officers wore when on duty, to excite the cupidity of their sailors. The officers, with the frankness that characterizes sailors tho world over, wore soon talking n3 familiarly as if they had been away together for years on the same ohip. Captain Denham had heard of Captain Fox and tho cruiser Wanderer, and he was delighted to meet in America a man he had supposed on the east coast of Africa. "I must say that when I first sighted the Wanderer," said Captain Denham, "that I supposed she was tho Adventure Galley, which was sent from New York some time ago to suppress tho pirates." "Let mo see, the Adventure Galley was commanded by Captain William Kldd," said Captain Fox, reflectively. "Yes, ho tooV command of her in Bermuda, nnd there can be no doubt about the loss of the ship. The Sea Hawk went out to take her place. " "And she did it well, Captain Denham. I heard of many of your oxnloits against the pirates in the West Indies and I am glad of this opportunity to meet you," said Captain Fox, whose officers watched him l or their oues. "But how did you happen in here, Captain?" asked Captain Denham. "I simply obeyed tho orders received in (Tamacin. I am to receive further instructions from Colonel Graham, who should havo been here by this time." "I pray ho may not bo In a hurry, for I know or no place where you can spend a few days more pleasantly," said Captain Denham. This was the only conversation, which might be culled at all professional, that the young officers had on this occasion. Lea Hedges was the soul of animation that evening, without being at all forward; and Lieutenant Frenauld escorted her to dinner, the Captain having the honor of leading In Mrs. Condit, lialph Denham and Mrs. Hedges brought up the rear, and Ellen Condit and Lieutenant Hodges preceded them, evidently well pleased with the arrangement. The dinnor might be called provincial in its arrangement and large-handed abundance; certain it K no other part of the world could have afforded a greater variety of life's good things, nor could any cooks in the great capitals surpass tho black women, who, though slaves themselves, were the completo mistresses of ail the Hampton kitchens. Shell fish from the Great South Bay, blue fish from the Atlantic, wild fowl from tho Great l'econic liny; wild turkey, grouse and woodcock from the neighboring forests; venison, better than evor royal forest produced, early vegetables, most grateful of all food to the sailors; preserved fruits nnd nuts, imporiod and domestic; butter like fanciful gold ingots; those nnd many other things came on in regular and seemingly endless courses; und the dishes steamed amid masses of flowers gathered from garden nnd field; and oldfashioned wax caudles of many colors lit up the whole. All were on good terms before the meal began, but during its progress the thin walls of reserve melted away, and when tho banquet for mjeh wo call it was concluded ail felt like old friends. Wino nnd spied rum we:e passed around in abundance, and Cnptaln Fox and his men appeared t drink as did the others and this was a time when it was thought a man could be neither a good sailor nor a brave soldier if ho did not drink but they did not drink, or even sip, each time they lifted the Silver goblets to their lips. After dinner, the musicians, who had been playing in the vino-covered porch outside, struck up a mnrch, and another procession was formed; and Squire Condit, with Mrs. Hedges on his arm, led the way to his own house, where the festivities were to bo continued. Sailors in the service of the British Government were always sure of a welcome in tho best society of the colonies. Their commissions implied that"ofucor" and "gentleman" wore synonymous; and it can be said that a knightly courtesy ran thrm-Ii the service at this timo, for England had entered en that grand career for supremacy of the ocean which was afterwards lo leave her for a time its undisputed mistress. Tho officers of tho Waadoror wore made as welcome by the people of Sag

iiaroor as ir, liKe tne eea iiawn s crew, they were their own sons and j neighbors. j With the exception of Captain Fox : and Lieutenant Frenauld, the oflioer.3 of the Wanderor were not, judging from ' their awJsggard and constrained man- ! rs, f'' "accustomed to ladies' society, ,or only the two named could ; danco, or at least attempted to do so, i 'XWe, howey only made the nun- j

lh church matters as not to enjoy t. game of wwst. But Captain Fox and Mr. Frenauld more than made up for the deficiency lu the others. The former, now that ho, was in his magnificent uniform, and his expressive face and strange blue eyes beaming and flashing with f.nimatlon, was conspicuously fine-looking. even in tho presence of such men as Captain Denham and Mr. Valentino Dayton. Mr. Frenauld, though dark, and with eyes that a physiognomist would cull sinister, presented it good foil to his liuht-hairod commander. : whom he equaled as a brilliant conver sationalist. TO 1IK CONTINl'fco Puritan I'ollertions.. In the records of one of tho churches of New Haven we read that in 1050 the "Uoaeous Informed tho court that the wampum which is put into t'tic church treasury is (fen e rally so bad that the elders to whom they pay it cannot pay it away." Money of all kinds was scarce among tho Sew Haven colonists, and the Indian money; wampum, which then circulated as currency, was easily disfigured and broken, being undo of a frail sea-shell. The colonists, some of them, at least, had a good deal of hum in nature, and managed to dispose of tholr worthless currency and at tho same time fain a reputation for gene:rosity, In modern days their descendants of tho baser sort drop clipped, and punched coins into the "plate. The court to whom the 3ew lOtavcri deacons complained, ordered that "no money save silver or bills" should bo accepted. Then the deacons found it difficult to got any contributions. Tho colonists wished to keep their good wampum for trading, us the storekeepers would receive no other. When they found that they must de posit "wampum without break or deforming spots," or "silver or bills" In tht contribution box, they refused tc give anything. But a hundred years later there came a wave of public enthusiasm the War of tho Revolution. Then the people stave of their best, with-a willing mind. Contributions were taken In the meeting-houses, after divine service, for the Continental array, Money, finger-rings, earrings, watches, stockings, hats, coats, breeches, shoes, produco and groceries were brought to the meetinghouse to give to tho patriotic soldiers, "Even tho leaden weights were taken out of tho window-frames, made into bullets, and brought to meeting," writes the author of "The Sabbath in Puritan Xcw England." On one occasion a collection was being made for the army in the Lebanon, Conn., meeting-house. Madaui Faith Trumbull was present, and had on a magnificent scarlet cloak, which had been presented her by Count Bochambeau, the Coramander-lu-chief of our French allies. She walked from her pew to the deacon's seat, and taking off her cloak gave it as her offering to the army. It was cut in narrow strips aud used as red trimmings for the uniforms of the soldiers. Her example so roused the congregation that an enormous collection of goods and provisions was ent to the suffering men who were fighting the British Almost one hundred years later the descendants of these Puritans were doing similar collecting and packing for tho Union soh diers. Kxtractlou or I'ortuuws Six methods of extracting perfumes are known. The first is expression by means of a special press, which Is applicable without too great loss of fruit skins rich in essential oils, such, as orange aud citron pool, previously grated. Another method is that of distillation, which consists of heating flowers with wate:r In a boiler. The essential oil is volatilized and Is condensed with the vapor of water in a worm and Florentine receiver. The water usually goes to the bottom and the oil floats. The oils of neroll, rose, patchouli, geranium, lavender, caraway, etc.,- are obtained in this way. The process is not applicable to the delicate perfumes of tho mignonette and the violet, and for them recourse is had to maceration of the liowers la animal fat or mineral oils, which have the property of absorbing odorous substances, and are then washed in alcohol. The liowers are usually heated in tho fat or the oil for a variable number of hours. For perfumes which cannot endnre a high temperature the petals are placed between frames of glass coated with fat. This is the processor cnneuiage. The pneumatic process, which consists in causing a current of perfumed air or carbonic acid to be absorbed by coatings of lard on glass plates, appears not to have given satisfactory results. Another process consists in dissolving perfumes in very volatile liquids, like sulphnret of carbon, chloroform, naphtha, ether, orchloride of methyl, and volatilizing the solvents, which can be done at u low temperaturojii a vacuum. The last method has given very satisfactory results in the extreme delicacy and great accuracy of its returns. Popular Science Monthly. Nut tire's Cure Cor Cholera. Captain Alvln Hall, a seagoing man of Maine, telis of a remarkable experience with the cholera. H-5 says he was at the Fort of St. Jogo, on the southern shore of Cuba, when tho cholera wa raging there with terrible violence, tin deaths in the village numbering over I'll a day. In tlio midst of the plague there occurred a groat earthquake that toppled over the houses and choked up the streets with debris, and from that moment the cholera was at an end, though nobody could tell why. In his interesting memoirs tho Rev. Dr. Chapin, formi-rly of this city, relates a similar incident. It was in 18:12, when the cholera committed Buch frightf tl ravages here, and one-sixth of the entire population died within twelve days. At the very height of the plague, w.iion th mortality amounted to odd a day, tliero came up a tremendous thunder-storm. The rain poured ! torrents and the lightning was terrific. Shortly the storm passed away, succeeded by a cool breeze from the north, und it carried tho cholera with it. There was not another death. New Urieens Picayune. Tho llruvi. Ol.l Oak.

th Intelligence ef Plant Climbing plants, id all their movtf inentg, manifest u degrco of intelligencs Its marked and subtle as do plants irl search for food. Plants are said to become climbers in order, as it may Uq presumed, to re.U'h 4 he light, and to expose a larger surfneo of their leaves to its action, and to that of the free air an arrangement elassod with the various economies of nature. Wo accept the supposition with indifference, because we cunnot, from any real knowledge wo havo on tho subject, say why some plants climb aud others creep, trail or grow strong and erect any more than we can say why some men were born black, others white. The why and wherefore of tho various forms or colors is not the subject under consideration; it is what they do, and how they do it, that now interests us. Clirnbiiig plants differ materially in their mode of operations; same climb by their leaves, some by means of tendrils, some by their stems, and others by what are known as adventitious roots, such as the ivy, bignonia, etc., etc. Fach genus has a method of its own, to whffh it adheres with the greatest tenacity, Tho growth, of any climbing plant depends largely upon its means of support; when proper ones arc furnished, its growth is rapid and vigorous. If it has none, it will try to invent one of its own; failing in this, it will throw out branches from every joint, and assume a half-shrubby form, with but little vigor. In looking for an object to fasten itself to, either leaf, tendril or stem may bo seen to bend to one side and to travel slowly round toward all points of the compass, moving usually like the hands of a watch with tho siin ; during the day these rev ol ii Hons are performed, on an average, every two hours, until tho part has found a support. It is very interesting to watch the movements of tho various classes oi climbing plants, as some -of them not only show remarkable intelligence, bu t a degree of independence and perseverance worthy of imitation. Tho moment any climbing plant finds a Support, it grasps it, and makes one turu round it in on incredibly short time, apparently in order to establish its claim. Most plants are not very particular in their selection of a support, but take tho most convenient object. Others will only take just such an one as suits them; conspicuous in this class is the ma iraudya. Here we will remark that if you excite any leaf , 'tendril, or vine seeking support by touching or rubbing the part with a small stick, it will, within a few minutes, change its position its though it had secured a Lome. The Old Venetian Carnival. The carnival then lasted six months, aud masking was a universal habit. It has been said that in the beginning the mask was a token of fraternal condescension on the part of rich and noble toward their inferiors. It leveled all ranks, like the grave, though in a more agreeable manner. But this Utopian justification of it soon passed out of date. It became Instead the very best possible vehicle for iutrleue and social corruption. Tln.t in effect was what it was. Durlug carnival time no one thought of going oat of doors except in disguise. The maid sent on an errand most first don her mask ot which no doubt, her lover, or lovers, had tho key. The mother with a child in her arms masked both herself and the child.

Farla Childless. A letter says that Paris Is almost childless. Tradesmen wish their wives to help in tho shop, and in order that the wives may bo free to do this the children are put out to nurse In the country. The same custom is genera! among all working people. More than fifty per cent, of the children born in Paris die in the baby-farmer's hands, this correspondent declares, before they have reached their second year. Forty creches have been established In tho city, but the CJiintcr-influenco of these has boon trifling. A nurso of whom no questions are asked charges 25 francs a month for the keep of a baby: those who are registered and overlooked demand GO francs more. They find their customers amonR the prosperous middle classes, but the worklog people cannot afford to go to them. lie Uot His Void, Two prospectors at Wllkeson, Wn., came near making a remarkable strike that might have turned tho tide of Bold hunters from the San Juan country. As they were Industriously digging away a mioer came wildly rushlntt upon them and began to dig into the earth less than a dozen feet away. In a lew minutes he unearthed an oyster can and started off with It, chuckling' joyously. Ho had hidden forty 20 gold pieces in the can on the hillside weeks before and believed it to ho secure until he beard casually that men were prospecting there. The prospectors were within ten feet of his "hide" and digging straight toward it whou he rescued hi) property. Was John Bunyan a Gypsy? In the St. Mary Magdalene's (Launceston) parish register (Vol. I, fob 74) is this entry, in 1586: "Marche the ivth dalo was christened Nicholas, sonne of James liownia, an Eityptia rogue." This Mr. F. H. Grooms offers as a fresh link in the chain of evidence that John Bunyan was a Gypsy. "Egyptia," ho says, is evidently "Egyptian," and "Bownia," ho asks, may it not be Bownlan? If so, have we not here a veritable gypsy Benyan? It is a far cry from Launcesu n, in Cornwall, to Elston, in Bedfordshire, he adds, were nomads not in the case, ami, in time, tho interval between tho baptism and tho birth of the "Inspired tinker" is but forty-two years. Now Use for tlio Phonograph. It has recently been stated that Superintendent Johnson of the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Indianapolis, has been making experiments with the phonograph, and believes that in connection with it be can teach the majority ot the deaf mutes under his charge to talk, lie finds that the Instrument concentrates the sound at the drum of the ear in such a way that many of the pupils otherwise deaf are enabled to hear. He intends to carry the experiments further, and thinks the phonograph may become a means of teaching the nse of their voices to some motes whose inability to speak is due to tho fact that tuoy have never heard speech. Tho Turkey, It does not seem to bo generally known that the turkey was domesticated bv the Indians long before the discovery of this continent by white men, but such is the case. A SLIGHT COLD.
