o aslor Dm Wat . Tito trouble arose because of wha. u believed to have been the ill-treat-tnent reoeived by Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, while in Ed gland. Whea W. O. Macready, the English tragedian, came to this country and his appearVearanoe at the Ah tor Place Opera House was announced, an immense faction declared he should never be allowed to play. True o their word, on the night -of his first performanc a wild hob filled the theater and surrounded it, folly 20,000 strong. I was then in command of the Seventh Regiment, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon I received orders to be ready to quell the expected riot at the evening performance. By 6 o'clock the regiment had assembled in the Armory. I personally superintended the distribution of ammunition to the men, and I would like to take occasion now to settle a question in dispute in this respect. There was not a man in the regiment in possession of blank cartridge on that sight, and any story to the effect that blank cartridge was used is purely fictitious. We fired to hurt Toward 9 o'clock we received orders to disperse the mob, and by the time we reached Astor Place it was fully that hour. The regiment was as yet with empty guns, but when I saw what I had to deal with, the instant order was close columns en masse and load at wilL Had 'it not been for this I verily believe the nob would have massacred the whole -regiment.- Their attack upon us was at once furious and determined, but we responded in like measure. Of the rioters 134 were killed outright and over 100 wounded. Several of our boys received pistol shots and 143 were wounded with stones" and other misanlea. Thirty-two stand of arms were broken in the hands of our men, but the State replaced them. I have always believed the firing on that night was a salutary lesson to the mob spirit in this city. Gen. Abram Duryea. Eye Memory. ' Look steadily at a bright object, keep file eyes immovable on it for a short time, and then close them. An image of the object remains; it becomes, in faot, visible to the closed eyes. The vividness and duration of such impression vary considerably with different individuals, and the power of retaining them may be cultivated. An eccentric old man, the once celebrated but now forgotten "Memory Thompson," trained himself to the performance of wonderfid feats of eye memory. He could close his eyes and picture within himself a panorama of Oxford street and other parts of London, in which picture every inscription over every shop was so perfect and reliable that he could describe and certify to the names and occnpations of the atop-keeping inhabitants of all the houses of those streets at certain dates, when postoffice directories were not as they now are. Although Memory Thompson is forgotten, his special faculty is just now receiving some attention, and it is proposed to specially cultivate it in elementary schools by placing objects before the pupils for a given time, then taking them away and requiring the pupil to draw them. That such a faculty exists and maybe of great service is unquestionable. Gentleman's Magatine. Sheep aa Beasts of Burden. .

CHAPTER XXV Continued. Mrs. Hedges Is a great admirer of Balph Denham, and if she was the only one to consult, no obstacle would have been thrown in the way of his union with her daughter. It may surprise the reader to know that. In view of the incontrovertible knowledge these young ladies had of Captain Fox, that they should ever think of going on board his ship. But they had a double object; at least thev reasoned themselves into the belief that they had; and then they could not even imagine the act of pernay contemplated by the pirate. They knew that the entertainment was a part of Fox's scheme to keep the Deoole of Sag Harbor blind to the ac tual purpose, the capture of the Sea uawc Again, Lea Hedges and Ellen Condit were devoured by an intense curiosity a curiosity which is said to be peculiar to the sex to see Balph Denham In his disguise, or rather to try and discover him in the disguise. Certainly the latter was not a good motive for going on board the Wanderer; but the world might not be so pleasant a place to live In if sound rea sons could be given for everything that is done. Promptly at two o'clock the young ladies, after hearing many sage injunctions from their mothers, and dutifully Dromisina to obey them, went down to the beaeh, where a long boat from the Wanderer was waiting to take the visitors on board. They met there quite a number of young people, to whom an invitation was extended, and not a few of the older men, among them Doctor Hedges, who had been dazzled by Fox's magnificence. Although every man on the ship had been working with all their might before 2 o'clock, they now appeared in holiday attire, and the vessel' was gay with bunting. Awnings covered the quarter-deck, and the Wanderer's musicians played a welcome as the boat came alongside. Captain Fox and Frenauld were there in all the glory of their gorgeous uniforms, and they made no effort to hide their delight as they helped Lea and Ellen on board. But while careful not to attract attention by their wandering glances, nor to seem indifferent to the courtesies of their entertainers, their hearts were with the blue jackets forward and amidships, and many a glance they cast in the hope of being able to distinguish Balph Denham. A splendid collation was spread on the deck; and there were favors in the shape ot gems and flowers for all the young ladies. It was understood, of course, that there would be no dancing there was no time for that; but there was much promenading, and, judging from the laughter that occasionally accompanied it, much delightful conversation. Every now and then Fox or Frenauld would leave his guests, and go forward to issue a whispered order to a man in waiting, who would communicate it in the same way to the sailors. The crew no longer stood in listless groups, but hurried back and forth, busying themselves with ropes and removing the bunting that, was in their way. About half-past four a shower a most fortunate one for Captain Fox's plans, came on, and he invited all into his luxurious cabin. Aa Lea was passing down from the quarter-deck, she laid her hand on a sailor's shoulder, who was there for the purpose, and she heard Balph Denham' s thrilling whisper: "My God! Why are you here?" To those coming behind It looked as If she had sipped; as it was she staggered into the cablin, white as a ghost. "Frenauld, I will go down and hold the attention of the people. Send a message to Hedges, tell him I have changed my mind, and he must follow me to Montauk in the morning. Do not waste a second in getting the ship under way. This is our chance." "Aye, aye, sir," replied Frenauld. Captain Fox spread before his visitors his wealth of pictures and rare curios. He showed them the cream of the plunder of a score of gallant ships. He dazzled them with strings of pearls. He flashed on them emeralds and diamonds till they forgot where they were. Meanwhile the anchors were being hoisted and the sails let down. Half-past five came, the turn of the tide. The wind was in the west, and the Wanderer caught the breeze, and to the horror of the crowd on shore, watching the preparations without seeing anything of their friends, the stately ship, like a great white bird, flew out of the harbor. CHAPTER XXTI. DOCTOR HEDGES HAS HIS EYES OPKNSD IN A VERY UNPLEASAST WAT. Doctor Hedges was the first one in the party to discover the ship was in motion. He did not suppose that Capt. Fox knew it, so he shouted out: "Why, Captain, the ship is sailing away!" "I know It," said the Captain, with an easy manner and a smile, Intended to calm the anxiety on every face; "I wanted to close up the entertainment by giving you a little surprise. We shall take a sail of a few miles, wind and tide are favorable, and before dark I will have you all safe at home. Don't fear." Fox, who was In the companion-way, waved his hand to his guests, and hastened on deck. "Bravo, Frenauld!" he said to his lieutenant. "Now get all the Sea Hawk men between decks, order them down for enrollment, and thon see that they can't come up again till wo let them." "All right, sir," replied Frenauld. The bunting, awning, tables, and musicians had disappeared, and in every way the pleasure ship at anchor was transformed into a war ship under sail. The guests, headed by Dr. Hedges, rushed anxiously on deck, and the former, with every sign of great nervousness, addressed Fox: "I and my friends, Capt. Fox, aro certainly very much Indebted to you for your kindness, but if it is all the same to you, we'd rather go back. It is near dark, the tide is setting out, and the wind Is from the west." "Confound it! I never thought of that. How foolish of Frenauld to get under way without letting me know this." Fox said this aloud, so that all could hear, and as he hurried forward to countermand the order to go back, as they thought, not one of thorn, not even Lea, but believed it was as he said. Capt. Fox did not come back for twenty minutes or more, in the meantime, the sun had gone down blazing red, promising a fine day for the morrow. Dr. Hedges saw that the ship was brought about, but the wind and tide were against her, ami a continuation of the attempt to get back Into the harbor must have resulted in sending the Wanderer ashore. "I fear," said Capt Fox, coming back with an expression of sorrow on his face, "we are in for it; we can't get back to-night. " "But what are we to do?" asked Dr. Hedges, now thoroughly alarmed.

"I shall anchor under the loo of Gardner's Island, and bright and early tomorrow morning I shall soc that you all get home. I assure you, my friends, I deplore this very much, very inuch, indeed. But there is an abundance of cabin room for all; ind we shall have supper, and then sleep till daylight. Now, go to the cabin, or. If you would prefer, remain here till we come to anchor." The poople one and all preferred to stay on deck. There was not the shadow of suspicion against their gallant host; nevertheless there is a sense of personal gratification In seeing with one's own eyes that a desired thing is properly done. Sail was shortened at once; this was a cheerful sign, and a man amidships shouted the soundings as ho heaved the lead. It was not yet quito dark when the Wanderer brought up under the southeastern point of Gardner's Island. She oamo around with her head to the wind like a creature of reason, tho nnchors were lot go and the sailors clambered aloft to furl sail. All this was very satisfactory, under very unsatisfactory oircum.-tanoos, to Dr. Hedges. He was something of a philosopher, and he wished to be thought a decided one; so assuming a half-rollioking manner he joked with his daughter and the other young people about their mishap, and tried to add to the humor of the situation by asking the young ladies how they would feel if Captain Kidd was to come along in the night and oapture them all. Captain Fox, who overhead this remark, replied laughingly: "If Kidd succeeded, he would find a more preoious cargo than ever fell to the lot of a pirate before. But If Miss Hedges and her companions fear that I and tho whole crow ot tho Wanderer cannot protect them for one night, they should remember that wo have on board fifty gallant men from Balph Denham's Bhip, tho Soa Hawk. Surely they will trust to them if it comes to a struggle. " "We are not at all afraid, Captain," said Doctor Hedges, who noticed tho meaning glances which his daughter and Ellen Condit exchanged. Excepting Lea and Ellen, who alone knew the character of their host, and hence the great danger that menaced them, the visitors showed a laudable desire to make the best of a bod bargain, and Captain Fox successfully encouraged this spirit. A sumptuous su;por was served, and after it was over musical instruments were brought out, with cards end all the games then in vogue. Betweon his efforts to entertain his guests, Fox would hurry on deok to con suit with Frenauld. "Well, Frenauld, how about the Sea Hawk's men?" "Not the slightest trouble, Captain. " "Where are they?" "On the lower deck." "Any grumbling?" "None, sir. I've sent them supper and their hammocks, telling tbem not to come on deok till morning, as no duty would be required of them." "Did they say anything?" "Nothing. Oh, there will be no trouble with them! Outside of sailing matters, they are as innocent as children," "Of course thev are. Did you let them have lights?" "Yos; they wanted to play cards, and I could see no objection." "Of course not. Poor devils, if they can find any pleasure in their situation let them do so. By the way, Frenauld." "Yes, Captain." "We must land our guests bright and early; and, let me see I will have use for the boats all night " "Going ashore?" "Yes; we carry too much treasure, and we might as well guard against contingencies by concealing some of it on this island. The men will be willing, and they must help. They will think I am interested in them, and it will encourage them. You will see me again after my visitors are stowed away for the night" "Very well, sir." Frenauld went about his business and Fox went down to the cabin. Aided by Don, he showed the people their staterooms, all little gems of places; and so well wss the Wanderer provided in this respect that he could have accommodated without orowding as many more. The most anxious man on board the Wanderer that night was Captain Balph Denham. Ordinarily, his position would net have been an enviable one; the coming of Lea and Ellen added an additional load to tho great responsibility he had assumed. The men from the Sea Hawls were instructed to offer no objections to any order that might be given, but to follow their Captain's example without attracting too much attention to him by their acts. When ordered to go to the lower deck. Captain Denham knew exactly what it meant, though he did not expect that Fox would aim to render them powerless so soon, and then the position prevented any observation of tho pirate's action, which it was at this time necessary to know. The lower deck on whioh they found themselves had hooks for hammocks, showing that it bad been designed or used by sailors as a sleeping place. The place was limited, very close, and filled with that odor of bilge water which is Intolerable to anyone but a sailor. Directly back of this place was the front partition separating it from the store room and the quarters of tho subordinate officers. It was Captain Denham who asked for lights that the men might play cards till nine o'clock. Tho request was granted, and throe or four parties, arranged by Captain Denham, sat down to play whore they could be seen by any one coming suddenly in. The better to carry out the impression of perfect contentment with their surroundings, as well as to obstruct the view, all the hammocks were strung. Captain Denham had been aboard the Adventure Galley after Colonel Livingston fitted her out in New York a few years before, and henco he was familiar with her construction, excepting that the cabin hail been very much enlarged. Calling a few of tho men about blm, and sitting in the middle of the floor, where no oavesdropper. if there were any, could overhear them, he said, In a whisper: "My lads, It is Kidd's intention to keep us down bore. Tho sailors nodded their heads vigorously to Indicate that they understood this very well, as well as Captain Kidd, as they all now called Fox, did. "It won't do to bo caught napping. Two strong men can prevent our leaving horc by the way w came." The sailors nodded with equal vigor again, and kept longer at It "So wo must make a way for ourselves that will lead to the deck, when by morning we hear tho signal gun from tho Sea Hawk." "I think, Captain," said one of tho men, "that we can cut through tho bulkhead witli our knives. One of the planks I tried a bit ago cute like old cheese, and I made a hole and saw some light through It." "Where?" asked Captain Denham, rising suddenly. The sailor led him over to tlm bulkhead, drew out a wooden plug he had fitted to a hole, and told him to look in. The Captain did look in and the men were surprisec that he should look so long; but the Captain had good reasons for it. He saw inside a little cubbyhole of a room, with a candlo burning, and a boy, whom he recognized as Don, the cabin boy, oar his knees beside a little bunk. Waiting till the hoy rose, tho Captain put his mouth to the aperture and whispered:

"Don, don't bo frlghtonod; we are the men from tho Sou Hawk." An intelligent; light Hashed over Don's faoe and he looked to discover the exact place from which the sound enrue; but first he secure I his own door, to prevent ony one's coming in on him unexpectedly. Capt Denham, seeing the boy's objeot, drew his dirk, and pushed It Into the hole, and the light Hashing on the blade, Don approached Die pluce, and putting his lips to the opening he whlspored: "I've just boon praying for you and the mother at home." "Bravo boy," replied Capt. Denham: "you have proved yourself our friend." "Ana I am your friend," -ald tho lad. "Can you help remove one of tho planks between hero and where you are? Wo are fastened iu, but at the proper time we want to bo able to get on deok. " "I can and will help you. Go back and wait," roplled Don. Capt. Denham and his men went back, and soon after they heard a low graving sound, like that made by the gnuwlng of a rat. This was going on when a burly Bailor, as warrant officer, to give the man-of-war rank, one of the Wanderer's crew, came into tho plaoo occupied by Capt. Denham und his men, and in a hoarse voice called out: "Come, my lads, it is l) o'clock; out lights, and turn in." A cheery "Aye, aye" from the Sea Hawk men told that tlioy had heard the order, and the alacrity with whioh they swung into their hammocks, after putting out their lights, showed how willingly they obeyed It. Satisfied with this, tho man, who oarrled a hint- rn, gavo it a final Hash over tho line of hammocks, and withdrew with a heavy step. TO UK CONTINUED. J

When flying from justice a crlm-lns-J rarely escapes through a disguise, says the Irish Times. In many cases the buying of tho things selected by him as being most helpful to conceal his identity affords a clew which Insures his capture. In most cases shaving off the beard or mustache is relied upon to hide a likeness, but the police always recognize such a proceeding as probable, and an expert thief taker Is well able to identify his man minus such adornments. In some cases, Indeed, the wanted person's likeness is put into the detective's bunds with the mustache and whiskers removed, showing what tho man will be like without them. An absconding hank cashier a short time ago attempted to leave the country dressed as a woman. His disguise was seen through by a keen-eyed detective who was watching outwardbound vessels, and although he did not recognize the man he detained him on suspicion, and communicating with the head authorities the prisoner was soon identillcd. In that case the disguise itself actually led to the detection of the criminal. In two othot recent cases men wearing false beards and mustaches were secured by the policemen anxious to discover theli reasons for assuming them. These afterward proved to be so unsatisfactory that one of them received eight and the other eleven years penal servitude. The thing which most stands a criminal in goo.1 stead in making his escape is his hiving a "common face," one with no 'narked peculiarity, and an iron nerve to enable him to carry himself like an innocent person.

Loss estimated at $4, 500, with no insurance. A ir-YKAli-oi,l boy by the name of Edwards, residing near ISosedale, met with an accident which will result fatally.

"What's the matter with him? Who is he?" asked several passengers, eying the sleeper with suspicion. "He sleeps as calmly," continued the old man abstractedly to himself, "as though ho had never murdered his partner, forged his name to a check for $50,000 and skipped to Mexico. He thinks probably that no one can penetrate his disguise, but I should know him r the dark with a mask on. Ah, Miles Sashwell, now I can confront you with proofs of your villany !" Quite a crowd had collected around the two by this time. "The idea," continued the old man, turning to the awestruck bystanders, "of his trying to disguise himself by a fake moustache and wig. One of you fellows jerk that moustache off and see how it changes his expression." Nobody seemed disposed to unmask the villian until a strapping six-footer pushed his way into the midst of the group, and taking the moustache by both ends, gave it a yank that fairly lifted the slender young man to his feet. The latter let off a yell that would have paralyzed a Comanche Indian and struok out widely in tha air with his fists. "Great Scott!" he shrieked, "are you trying to jerk tho top of my head off? Let go of that, will you," and he kicked the six-footer vigorously in the pit of the stomach. "What the deuce do you want ol me, anyway r" "Why, we thought you had on a false moustache," ventured one of the crowd timidly. "This old man said so." They all turned around to see what the old man would soy, but he didn t say. He had gotten off when the train slowed up at the last crossing. ivx. Making the Best of It.

"What a shame!" exclaimed her sympathetic listenor.

Caught In Hli Own Trait. A Quaker shopkeeper on6 day met a Quaker customer of his going round with her bundles. He had been absent from his place of business, and Buspected that she had been trading with a rival whom he did not much love. "How much a yard did you give for this, Mary?" "One shilling and sixpence." "Why, I am surprised at thee! I could let thee have it for one and two. And how mucb for this?" "Threo shillings." "That was very unreasonable, i could let thee have it for two shillings. Why will theo go trading with strangers and world's people, Mary?" "What is thee talking about, friend John? I did buy all these things at thy shop, and if thee says the truth thee must owe me quito a considerable amount of money." Idibeck. The city of Lubeck, Germany, which will shortly celebrate its seven hundred and fifty third anniversary, has rather an interesting: history. The city was foun " .;J in 1140, was ceded to the Dukes of !; jcony eighteen y-aars later, and in 1201 was taken by the Danes. It was made a free imperial city in 1226,when the Danish garrison was' expelled, and in 1241 it became tho head of the Hanseatic league. Klucher took refuge in Lubeck to avoid the French army, when it was carried by assault and suffered a throe days' pillage, in November, 1806. Nov. 12, 1810, the city was annexed to the French Empire, and rogaincd its freedom in 1813, after the battle of Leipsic. Curious, The water spider which spends most of its time under the water, carries a bubble of air for breathing on the under side of its body, and when this air is exhausted it comes to the surface for mora. It is enabled to carry the air bubble because tho under side of its body is covered with tiny hairs set so close together that the surface film of the water does not pass them, although the air does, and thus the air is imprisoned among the hairs.
