KV F. CLINTON KAKK1NST0N, U. S. X. Juet at dusk on a summer's evening ia Havana, I left lay lodgings to pass an hoar or two at a f riend's house. The protective adminktratioB of Tacon lial not then commenced, and I was therefore well armed to protect myself , for I well knew that the street were quite unsafe, and one or two recent experieecee had oonvinoeil nie of tke utility of a good pair of pistols ami a short cutlass, tlte latter the gift of a chivalrous ! euac Tole, with whom I had traveled nany kunureu bums.

It was light enough, for the moon was just then showing her silrery shield in the east, for me to see at a glance that rtkree persons were setting upon one, who, with his back against a pilaster, was bravely defending himself with a sword ; using his cloak wrapped around Ah kit arm as a shield. I perceived at once from his appearance that he was a gentleman, and that his assailants were a trio of villainous blackguards. They were armed with the short, oarved "knive peculiar to the 'assassins of Havanat and were doing their best to murder him. They danced .round him, now this skis, bow that, aiming tlteir knives at his heart, ami always foiled by his skillful weano. They ooald not take him behind for the wall against which he stood.

He gave me his ' name a "Adolphe Joan Boncour," and said he had been an oftiuer in the French marine, but was now in command of a vessel of hu? own.

After repeating to me his thanks in the manly, frank way of a brave man, ' we parted, and I pursued my wav towxnls my place of destination without furtlier a'dventnre. Throe daj'S afterwards I was seated i n a coffee-house on the .Plaaa with a young Xew Yorker, a thriving merchant at Havana, taking toast, and listening between whiles to liis account of n very great disappointment in a certain love affair. It seems that he had come passenger from New York, a few weeks before, in the same ship with a General and his niece, a very charminjr girl, but , without fortune, and, as the General was Charles Emnghall, fell irrevocably in love "with tne k?autiful niece, and was so happy as to inspire in her bosom a kimlred'sentinient in reference to him ?H. fore the ship reached Havana the)' themselves.

Imagine us to lie the hero and heroine of a romance, and set your brain to work for our lieneftt." 1 am happy-to t4 yoa again," said, in French, my Ugh ting friend, M. Adolphe Jean lkincour, coming out of tke next box and taking tae by the hand, "You will pardon mo for intruding upon you, Messieurs, but I owe a debt of gratitude toMonsieur,and would rMay Tt. I have, by chance, overheard your friend's relation of his interesting ajfnirt d'urmowr, and 1 have come to offer him my service, which will be tim same as serving you, and so 1 wish to consider it. If you will allow me, I will tell you my plan." I invited him to be seated, and he then said: "f command a fast-sailing brig, the l)iane.' She is now light, waiting for freight. I can got her ready for sea in half an hour. I have lifteen men iu all on board I am armed with four guns, two sixes and two eighteen s, besides small arms in the cabin. The 'Bristol Haven' sails at 4 p. jii. Come on board and dine with me, and bring with you a priest, anv one you can trust to serve you. Will you drive with me!" ho asked with a smile. An idea of the plan Hashed at once upon my mind, though not by any moans so fully as he went on to explain it after; we had consented.

dinner we will quietly smoke j our cigars until the Bristol-Haven jsetsi under weigh time and follow her. Before twelve U 13 111 n CIH HI UIO U1U I hours pass, if vou sav so, gontlemei men I shall have the honor of celebrathisr a wedding on board the Diane!" We remained silent with surprise. At length I spoke and said : "Do you mean to pursue and board the ship?" " Yes, without question, and take the j lady out!" ,r It will be a piracy." "X'importe! Leave that to mo. Cost mon affair," he renlied laughing and slightly shrugging his shoulders. By some means, an hour afterwards Charles succeeded in getting a note, of which the following is a copy, into the hands of the General's niece : " I)kak Maky: -Jake eoursge. A friend in command of a brig Is to pursue the ship and board ker mkh after leaving pert. Sl! will pretend to be a buccaneer. You will not be alarouMl, therefore, in Hmliiigyour skip pursued.

When Mary receivel and read this, her eyes sparkled, sho kissed it, and concealed it iu her liosom, and all was ! hope and happiness before lier. ed our cigars afterwards, and while II C UillCU nillliUl.UUULUlU , VtU.IIIlUIVsmoking saw tlie passengers set oft' on board tne Bristol-Haven, and among them tlie General uid his lovely niece. In half an hour she weighed anchor, loosed and sheeted home her ton-sails, and sailed majestically out of tlie har bor. We imitated her motions, and in

t v aui4i7i r .. ill i ceivo her, lie took in sail again, satisfied ; ever lie chose. At length the sun set, I twilight fell upon tlie sea, and veiled the distant hills of Cuba from tlie eye. This was the signal for crowding sail. We soon made out the ship about half a mile ahead, and in another hour we were abeam and to windward, not a quarter of a mile distant. " Fire!" cried M. Boncour, to a man who had been stationed at the starboard eighteon-pounder. The roar of the gun shook tho brig, and the shot we saw plow up tho dark water in a long phosphorescent line a half cable's length across hot bows. At the same time, our helm was puttip and we ran down upon lier. Tho ship well understood tho meaning of the gun, and we distinctly heard the Captain give orders to place the maintopsail to tho mast. As we approached, she was hove to and stationary. "Ship ahoy!" hailed M. Boncour. "Ahoy!" " What ship is that?" "Tho Bristol Haven,' bound for PXew Orleans. What brig is that? " The Spanish man-of-war, brig El Herculc,' " answered M. Boncour, readily; and turning to us, added with a laugh, " I believe I won't play the buccaneer this time, if I can get along without it." " Are General and his nicco on board your ship as passengers!" An answer came in the ammative. " Send them on board my brig without delay, and you will bo suffered to proceed. I have run out from Havana to overtake you for this object. Be quick, and see that all their baggage is placed in tlie boat with them." In ten minutes afterward tho happy lover assisted his fair bride-elect, and conducted her into tlte cabin, where, no doubt, be passed three very blissful, moments before the rest of us followed accompanied by tho perplexed General , who believed he had boon pursued and detained for some high treason against tho Spanish Government. His surprise on beholding Charloa seated by his niece, her hand in his can not lie depicted in words.

With his idea that the brig was still an armed vessel, and his imagination alarmed for fear, when he reached Havana, lie might Iks imprisoned, uH)ii he know not what charges, he said he chose to go on board the ship and proceed to New Orleans. Tlie two vessels separated after tlie General bad been taken back to the ship, confounded by the mystery of the whole proceeding, of which this sketch, if it ever meets Ids eye, may afford him a gratifying elucidation. The next morning our triumphant party unco more hailed the towers of Havana, and within eighteen hours after leaving the port, wo bad returned to it conquurors over that destiny which weaves the porvorso woof of lovers' fates. B Seme Papular Errers Akent the Chinese Cerrcctud The following is an extract from Mr. Prentice Mulford's lecture in Now York. Ho said: I propose to talk to you of their features, traits, habits and charac teristics from a personal experience of ,A am y own i nree prom- , , t, . , . lfMJs: rirsi, inai me uniiuwo navu ueen a much persecuted, abused and misrep resented race; second, that there is much in tlteir character that appeals to our sympathy, and that they have frugal, industrious habits which ought to make them rood citizens, and, third, that this problem is a Chinese puzzle, , ! liecause it involves the question of white j versus Mongolian labor. There exists a i ' system of slavery of these Chinese, j Their parents sell the emigrants, or they sell themselves, to soino of tho jjreat Chinese conqmnies. The negro as a slave was plastic and passive, adopting our customs readily. J he l-hinam.tn is positive in character, and parts with his 1 habits reluctantly.. There is such a complete system in this enslavement by the Chinese companies that within three months thev could throw an arinv of skilled laborers into any part of 'this I continent. Tlie Chinaman, unlike tlie' negro, never amalgamates with us. 1 Though despised, he is haughty .and! self-contained. We call him a'iieathen ; f he calls us Imrbarians, and it is ditlicultj to say who has the best Of it. 0ur oriental emigrants are neat they bathe their persons every day and wash their clothing carefully in fact, they arc the washerwomen of California.

On the hot, dust ; roads and trails he carries his umbrella and fan. Ho lues far better than tho corresponding white laborer. Ho cats' no rats. He does smoke opium and ; drink brandy, but a Chinese drunk or; " tramp" is very uncommon. For mod1 1 never saw one who know about Confucius. They believe in good and bad spirits, and pay most of their devotions to the devil, because they say " God is good any how." "John" is a natural Iwrii fatalist, and never fears death, We do not appreciate tho Chinese. They have been wonderful miners. They built the Pacific Uailroad. In tunneling they did well blasted well. To be sure ho has a bad side. He will lie, cheat, gamble and steal, though I never knew him to steal a Court-house ; but the secret of the prejudice against him is that he can underwork our own people. The Achievements ef Science. Dr. Oliver Holmes, the poet, author, scientist, inventor of tho popular stereoscope instrument, recently delivered an address before tlie Boston Microscopical Society. It was mainly an illustration of tlie progress of microscopy in the construction of tho instruments and in tlie discoveries by their aid. u To those of my generation," he began, " this modern world which most of you take as a matter of course, it lwing the only condition of things of which you have had experience, is a pornctual source of wonder a standing miracle. Science and art have in our time so changed the aspect of every-day life that one of a certain age might well bcliovo himself on another planot or in another stage of existence. Tho wamj ofl'romethous is in our match-boxes; tho rock of Horeb gushes forth in our dressingrooms; tlie carpet of Arabian story is spread in our Pullman car; our words flash ft iic continent to continent; our very accents aro transmitted from city to city; tho elements of forming world's aro analyzed in oiir laboratories; and, most wonderful and significant of all, the despotic reign of tradition received its deathblow when tho angel of muohthesia lifted from womanhood the worst terrors of tho primal malediction." i.

A CaHfrml Hear SHsry. A few days ago a vary exciting but ludicorous incident occurred at tlie upper end of Hunter's Flat, some tun miles north of West Point, Calaveras County. John Giles, who has been profitably eagaged in trapping iu tho mountains almve the past winter, visited a Mr. Hall, who owns a small ranch on Hunter's Flat. A few hours previous to Giles's arrival a lioar had paid his respects to one of Hall's Berkshire hogs, leaving the smaller portion of it under an oak tree for future lunch. Giles owns a largn steel trap, weighing sixty pounds, which was hauled to tho oak tree; a pine some nine inches in diameter was then cut down, the butt nearly reaching tho oak, Tho heavy chain attached to tho trap has, an enormous swivel at the end, which was securely fastened to a strong iron boll inserted in the butt end of the pine. Tho ghostly remains of Berky were carried up tlie oak tree and lashed to the trunk so as to be in sight. The trap was set, mid Giles proceeded to obliterate footmarks. All at once Hall yelled iu a scalp-raising tone, "Hero he comes!" Sum enough, an enormous and apparently enraged bear was making rapid headway toward tho mourners under tho oak. Before Giles got started in tho ensuing race Hall had taken thu lead by a good many lengths, leaping wild coffee bushes six feot in height with enso. The roaring of tho ferocious brute in the rear accelerated Giles's speed until ho was exhausted, when lie ventured to look bask and note with a grateful heart, that Bruin had given up tho race Ho shouted tho happy fact to his friend, who were some 4(X yards ahead, hut Hall continued the racu until he reached his cabin. Tho two now concluded to

wait some two hours. Giles had no weapons with him, and when tho time expired Hall advanced some trivial ob jections, but offered to lend his rillo. As Hall is acknowledged io be a bold and skillful hunter, Giles pressed him to explain his apparently cowardly lnthavior, and tho blushing and stuttering friend said that ho was recently engaged to the reigning liello of West Point did not fear death but seriously objected to tho possibility of Bruin's unkind scratching under tho circumstances. Giles shouldered the rillo and started in tho direction of the trap. He found tho Berkshire epicure with his left foro paw in the trap which lie had dragged some .000 yards, tree and all. When the monster caught sight of his jailer his rago knew no iKMinds in his efforts to get at him, but tho trap mid the tree which had become fastened in the undergrowth held him securely. Giles says that ho lodged live balls in tlie liear's cars, which all ineffectually flattened. Balls fired at tho head only penetrated tho skin. Several shuts in tho region of the heart finally brought him down, hut ho did not die until three hours after. When the monster had been skinned, his head, back of his cars, was found to 1k two feet ten and one-half inches iu eircuniferenco. The carcass when dressed weighed MWi pounds. It is probably tho largest bear of its species overseen in California. The skin is it very line one, and Giles intends to present it to President Hayes. (Jalaverns Uftromcic. i Suicide in a Pawn Shop. A young German entered Iho pawn shop at 108 Chatham Street last evening, and afterexamining the stock of pistols, selected a small, silver-plated revolver, and asked for a box of cartridges to lit it. After carefully loading tho seven chambers ho handled it nervously for a few moments, then pointed it at Ins left breast and lired. The ball entered just below tho nipple, and 1ns foil backward upon the floor. Ho told tho pawnbroker that ho did not intend to buy tho pistol, but wished only to borrow it to kill himself with, as ,lio was unable to live as others do. His family, ho Haiti, are wealthy Hollanders, and he came to this country to make a fortune for himself. He described himself as William Vanduyvanwater, 2o years of age, of oGO West Fourteenth Street.
