DICK RODNEY; Or. The Adventures of An Eton Boy... OY JAMES GRANT.

1 CHAPTER XVII. (Continued.) cor; alter thts, when evening came en we heard a nois-e in the forecastle, 3Li;d the -voice of HisJop exclaiming: "Star.ö clear sheer off. Antonio! If joa come Athwart me, I'll knock you iüvii with a handspike! What! you jrip jor: küife, do you? "Well, Just to it again, and I'll chuck you overJvoard like a 1-it of old junk." "Whit 1', the matter new?" said I, LKMfcr.inr; forward. "Ot. fa's rascally Spanish c-reole has leeu bearing at the men again, and ILit-ateniag eld KoLorts." "lie tows, sir, he will lurn the ship SÄiti Robertt", wito i-teuied conidn."biv excited. "öurn the ship." reiterated Weston. "I hare a great mind to put him in tl e hilboes for the remainder of the "Twere hest for all Hmwned, sir," r.;rl Tom TamlKurrc, touching his toreleck with his right hand, and giving the eck a scrape with his left ft-i't; "or set him adrift with some previsions in the jolly-boat." "Come, come, Antonio," said Wesson, with greater severity than I had hitherto seen expressed in his open ni fccnest countenance, "you must laa your wind for smue time you .hare Inn going too far. I can't spare ay jolly-boat, and, thank heaven! the Prltüt sailors, but Ware you, ship- I aottt. ur the bilboes it shall be, and e Laie a pretty heavy pair below h I Ar,c as for you. Marc Hislop, 9äCfrä, in a low voice, when we walked s!:. "take caxe of yourself, for these parish creoies are ;is slippery and tit a'.-herous as serpents." "Ill keep my weather eye open," a His top. "Ynii will require to do so. I think." ."You do?"' exclaimed the Scotsman, with growing anger. "If be proceeds ti --lur. I'll break either his heart or his xerk." Next morning. Roberts, the old man-ci'-w&r's man, who had always been Ar.GGio's chief accuser concerning his ireira-s was nowhere to be found on loardf jk!L the hands were turned up; the whole fcrig was searched, the forerasti berths, the cable-tier, and every yj.ee below from the fore to the after giir.. jut there was no trace of Roberts, save his old tarpaulin hat King crushed and torn in thu 1 II wa last seen when turned un I tc take the middle watch, which exlertds frcm 12 to 4 o'clock a. m., and -ARJ'fii T.-as then in his hammock. ( EmlKrts H-as entered in the log as having lallen overboard in the T.'.ght;' but his loss cat a terrible f;;ocn over all the ship. Suspicion gtQw and seemed to become conti72j.(th t open war was soon declared between te civw and Antonio. Every man was ready to take his lrick" at the wheel, rather than trust the Eugenie to his steering in the night, lest he might let her broach to, ltd lose her spars, or do some other Xiisccief; and no man, if he could fcvoid it. aould lay out on the yard eyond him. No man would walk on Ine same side of the deck with him, cr exchange a word, or ;i light for a pipe, or use the same cup or plate; so ie was generally to be seen, leaning xr.oodily and alone, against the windlass bitts, with his black eyes fixed r.n the bv-rizon. as if he expected a sail t.r something else to heave in sight. We shall soon see how all this ended. CHATTER XVIII. We Cross the Line. We were now in the latitude of Imrnü g days, i;f starry nights, and bright blue seas.

in the same fashion, and all wore false noses of singular size and great brilliance, with low wigs and long tails. On Neptune and his goddess receiving a dram and questioning the captain about his crew, it was discovered that Antonio and I were the only two on board who had never crossed the line before; whereupon the Tritons whooped and danced as they laid violent hands on me. I submitted to the usual shaving and so forth with a good grace, and compounded, to avoid other annoyances, for two bottles of brandy, and ascending to the main-cross-trees without going through the lubber's hole. Hut for the Cubano there was neither ransom, escape nor outlet; and the poor wretch, in consequence of his mysterious antecedents, was very roughly handled, the more so that he had threatened to u.e his knife if molested. It was soon trundled out of his hand by one body of Tritons, while another soused him well with salt water as he was conveyed past the long boat, which was lashed amidships, and in which they were stationed with buckets ready filled. Held fast on every side, he was brought Lefore the "goddess-born" and inexorable monarch of the main, who ordered "the Lord Chief Harber at once to shave him."

aS -Jntono had a rather lux uriant beard and mustache, the plentiful application thereto of a compound of tar and slush, s.ich as we used for Kiea&iug me masts, was the reverse of agreeable; but the stern orders of Neptune, which were bellowed hoarsely through a tin trumpet, v.ere faithfully and elaborately obeyed, and the contents of a dirty iron pot were smeared over the cheeks, beard and mouth of the Cubano by Billy, a mischievous ship-boy, with an unsparing hand. "Demonio! Maldita!" was heard at intervals, and greeted with laughter; but when he attempted to storm or swear the brush a reeking tuft of oil, tar and every horrid grease was thrust into his mouth. The Lord Chief Barber was now commanded to remove this noisome mess with his razor, and he scraped it off with a piece of hoop, which had been carefully notched for the purpose a process which, as it uprooted sundry thick portions of Antonio's coalblack bristles, caused him to veil and sPutter. out boar Spanish oaths al ternately He was again deluged with salt water; and greater serverities were about to be practiced upon him, as some of the Tritons cried for "the ghost of Roberts to come out of the sea;" others, to "smoke him, by putting his head in the hood of the cook's funnel," when Weston ransomed him for two bottles of brandy, and he was permitted to slink away to his bunk, breathing vengeance against all his tormentors. Grog was asain served round, the deck was cleared for a dance, and the crew footed the hours away in a succession of hornpipes, while the grim Cubano lay growling in the forecastle. Three cheers for the Captain, and three more for Marc Hislop, terminated the fun, and all but the watch retired below. "They have gone too far with that fellow, as some of us may discover before the voyage comes to a close," said Hislop. when we were having a parting glass in the cabin. "Yes," replied Weston; "he is a dark dog. and though I am not very rich, I would give a hundred pounds to fathom the mystery of old Robert's disappearance. Well, here's to our wives and sweethearts at home." "I have neither sweetheart nor w ife," said Hislop, as he tossed off his glass; "but I have a poor old mother who loves me as well as either could do." Weston's eye wandered to the porj traits of Iiis wife and child, to whom I he was tenderly rittaclifd, and for ; whom all his savings, by salary, tonj rage, and hat-money, were carefully I ncaidPil: for whom, poor follow, he ! tempted the dangers' of the srrat deep, the war of the lenient.--, and endured th" hard-hips of a r.nilor's life his wife, his lii'.le one. ;nd th'-ir homo "his ail; I'i-; :-h". r-nnrhor in this .Du h? .uui '.e l the m:;t, h atd ! 1 i 1 : '. :.y, lVrclMy iv. as 1 ?.. -! :;. :ig ma't:-:!: xix.

proceeded methodically to fish them on board. We procured strong lines, baited the hooks with pieces of pork, lashing thereto a buoy formed of a common cork, and lowered four of them over the stern. They had scarcely touched the water, when amid a furious flapping of heavy pinions, they were eagerly swallowed; the hooks and lines began to bear ta-ughtly, and we soon had four gigantic albatrosses splashing the water into froth in their ineffectual efforts to escape. We towed them in, hand over hand, and after measurement found the smallest, to be eleven feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. Though rank and fishy in flavor, the flesh of these birds was made into sea-pies, on which the crew were regaled for two days after, and they partook of it with great apparent relish. But Jack is not very particular, especially when at sea. Though none of the crew shared the superstition connected with the destruction of an albatross, and probably none, save Hislop and myself, knew the splendid ballad written by Coleridge, it would seem as if our misfortunes commenced with that day's wanton sport! The huge sea birds became shy and left us. The sun set amid saffron-colored waves, and the western Eky was all aflame, when the sails began to fill and collapse as the wind came in heavy puffs, causing the masts to sway from side to side, and the bellying courses to crack and flap with a sound like thunder. At last there came a steady breeze; the courses were left fall, and with both sheets aft, for the wind was fair, the Eugenie once more walked through the shining waters. Full, round, and silvery the moon arose, and tipped with liquid light every wave, that seemed to dance onward with the brig, which in half an hour had the snow-white foam flying in sheets over her catheads. It was about the hour of 1 in the morning that the horrible events which I am about to relate occurred. I was in the middle watch, relieving Weston, who, as the tropical dews were heavy, always ordered Billy the cabin boy to give rae a glass of bran-dy-and-water before going on deck, for fear of ague, and then he turned in. The sullen Spaniard Antonio was at the wheel. Tom Lambourne, Ned Carlton and I were walking to and fro, loitering at times, and looking at the compass to see how she headed now aloft to observe how the sails drew anon over the side, whera the water bubbled merrily past, or ahead at the patch of blue and star-studded sky which was visible under (he leach of the fore-course, as the brig's bow rilled every now and hen, and she rolled heavily from side to side, as all vessels do when running before the wind. All was very still, for, save the bubble of the water in the wake astern, or a gurgle as i surged up in the rudder case, the creaking of a block, or the iron slings of the lower yards, not a sound stole upon the first hour of the silent morning. Two of the albatrosses we had caught were hangiug by the legs from the gallows-top abaft the foremost, where their great extended wings swung somewhat mournfully to and fro in the wind and by the motion of the ship.

HOTEL'S GOOD POINTS. Thae Are tlir Idea of u Man Who Krtm, Tou. "I have a record of over 700 hotels where I have stopped," volunteered a well-known and popular minstrel per former to a Washington Star reporter, "which are scattered all over our glorious country, from Maine to the Rio Grande, and it is to be presumed that I know something of hotel life after living in them and in hotels alone nine months out of every year for the past twenty-five years. Besides the TOO and over I have a record of, I have stopped at some hotels where I did not make a record. At many of the TOO I have stopped from ten to twenty times, generally from one to six days each time. Now, what I am getting at is that thoe who complain most of hotel life in this country are those who know the least about it. During three months of each year I ! live at my own home. I come in conI tact with wanderers, traveling peoplo : iike myself, and associates, by tho I thousand, and I hear what they have to say about hotels and hotel life.

tl Kearlns: Did It. Bicycles were invented centuries ago. but it required the magic touch of the Nineteenth century inventor, to make the "wheel'' a most useful vehicle, instead of a mere toy. Rail bearings did it. It wai a case where the improvement has proved greater than the original invention. The principle that reduces friction to a minimum in a bicycle is applicable to all machinery, and the cost is the only obstacle in the way of what will be known in history es the "Light Draft Era" in mechanics. Millions of dollars have been spent in this direction. Tho Deeriag Harvester Company, of Chicago, solved the problem, as fir as grain binders and mowers are concorned, by equipping their machines with roller and ball bearings in IS'H. Other manufacturers in this line have since followed with several kinds of experimental roller bearings, but the Peering machines are .-tili alone in the fteld with ball bearings of the hr-;y;I? pattern. The Deerir.g Company's annual dialogue for lSi contains some very interesting historical matter on this subJet. fully illustrated. The book also describes the largest factory in America and gives the latest news :)n :he subject of harvesting machinery. Send for one; it s free.

What IIttietia in Siberia. A traveler in Siluia tells of a rsaiarkable occurrence anions the frozen regions of that country, a the intensely cold nights the silence was sometimes broken by a loud report as f a cannon. This was the bursting of one of the ice hubbies on a rier, a phenomenon 1 had neither heard a or read of before. The streams soaring :iovn from the hills we:e frozen ju :lie urface some six to nine inches taiek. The water beneath Mowed faster titan it could escape, and the pressure oa the principle of an hydraulic press, became irresistible. Pir:-t, the elasticity of the ice was seen by the rising if circular mounds some sis to eight f-et high. The bursting point :aaie at last with a report like an explosion. The water escaped, but soon froze again. Scot es of these ice hillocks are o be seen in a few versts of tie river. I Yoar l''t and 15 urn J Shake into your shoes.
