A SINGULAR ESCAPE.

My twin brother Tom and myself took to the sea at about the same time in 1818, although we did not sail In the same vessel. There is a feeling among sailors that it is not well for brothers to sail together. It is a bad 'sign, peopU say—a sign that 000 or the other will die on the voyage. Of oourse this is mere nonsense, bat then, a^de from all superstition, wo fait that, shook), any misfortune happen to either oif us while together, it would be a dreadful thing to tho other and so we thought it beat to keep apart

During the next three years each of us we»t a number of voyages, and it happened that wo were never onoe at home together is ail that tirna Whenever I arrived back, Tom would be, perhaps, in Cronstadt or Trieste and wheoever Tom was at home I might be doubling the Cap* of Oood Hope or unloading a cargo of flour in Rio Janeiro.

Yet we had a great desire to meet, for we were as strongly attached to each other as brother* generally are, and I think even more so. Mother would tall each of us how the other was looking, and wliat he had said •and dono while at bom®—and this was all 1 know of Tom, or that Tom knew of m& She •aid that he had grown, as 1 had, and that tie was now a stout boy, whom all tbe poople lie sailed with appeared to Ilka Poor mother I I suppose she was proud of us both, though felways in anxiety for us.

Finally, at nineteen, I arrived home from the Mediterranean with a full determination to see Tom onoe more before again setting foot on a ship's deck. He was in tho West Indies, and his vessel was expected back in ft month or two. Mother was groatly pleased to think that both her boys were to be at home at the aamo time, after so long a separation.

The brig to which be belonged was called the Columbia, and at last sho was reported to b« down the harbor. How glad I feltl and I saw mother wipo away tears of Joy with tho corner of her apron.

But when the vessel aamo up to the wharf 1 could not see Jom anywhere about the dock. I had a dreadful misgiving that something evil had happened and my fears were not without reason. Two of her crow had been impressed on board a British man-of-war— and one of them was Tom.

I need not tell you what a house was ours. It seemed as if death itself could hardly have boon worso than what had taken place, It was a torture to us night and day.

Nevertheless, after some weeks I prepared for sea again. I must go, of course, for it was in the way of my profession. I shipped, by preference, for the island of Barbadoea (or, although reason told me how shadowy such a hope must be, 1 could not resist the feeling that there it might be possible to learn something of Tom.

Our brig, the Amelia, arrived out in due time, and from the moment we entered tbe port I was all eyes and ears. I knew that Tom had been taken on board tho Poictlers, seventy-four guns but although there were several men-of war anchored in the harbor, sho was not, as I loomed, among them.

But

000

day we saw a big ship coming in.

Oh, how sho loomed upt And when she •civino to an anchor her yards were almost instantly black with men. Her Kills were all furled at one and tho same time, and then she lay swinging at hor chain, although too far off forus to distinguish tho faces of those on board.

Sotuohow hod tho fooling that this was Tom's ship and sura enough, upon questioning a harbor boatman, we were told that tbe vessel was the PoicUors,

It was Sunday,'so that we had our ensign flying, and I knew that this would attract Tom's attention provided bo still remained on board the shipw 1 thought it likely, too, that ho might recognise the Amelia, as I knew tha bo had onco sailed In her himself. He would see the Stars and Stripes displayed from a vessel belonging to Ids native town, yet all tbe while be helpless to escape.

I almost wished that I, too, oo^ld be with him on board the English shlpi It seemed to me that together we should b«» a We'to concert some plan of WSM. as two heads are better than ono. But 1 little very soon my half wish was to bo

We stood to the northward, and the next day Ml in with a French privateer. The moazttbs on the Island at Martinique were in sight at that time, and bow Tom and I did wish for wings to fly there 1

The sevwoty-focr crowded all sail in chase of the French ship, and it ooold soon be seen that she was gaining upon her. Presently we oould see that they wen throwing overboard her guns and other heavy articles to Ugh tw» the veseeL They cut adrift a large boat, and apparently got rid of everything they could spore.

After this it could be seen that die hold her own, and in fact she soon appeared to be gaining ground. Tbe wind, however, had become very light, and neither vessel made much progress.

We passed close br tbe drifting boat, but our commander made no attempt to •score her, probably not wishing to be encumbered with nK*h a «i»»g In the hurry and confusion of tbe w"™"* the Frenchmen had forgotten to stave a bole in her bottom, and had even left a number of oars on board at her.

A few minntfflr'^n*^ we entirely lost tbe brew, but the privateer still had a breath of air, and Tom and I were very to see her make off, snapping her lingers, as one might say, at the helpless old seventyfour.

It happened that we two were, often eloee to each other, and as we cast sly gfauooes toward the drifting boat the same thought was in both our

V'Tom," I whispered at last, 'If the breeae should* spring up again till after dark,why oouldnt we mace a dash for herf" "The very thing I'm thinking ot" be answered softly. *TOe trade wind will be sure to spring up soon, Hid that will take us straight toward Martinique. I know it is a risky pisoe of business, bat Vm willing to take the chances."

We spoke to the other two men—the two who bad been impressed respectively with htm and myself—but they would not make the ventuie. How should we be able to find the boat in the darkness! they asked and what were we to do for provisions and water in tbe event of reaching herf

But we believed the stake to be worth the risk, and our resolution was fixed. We were only afraid that the ship would get a breeae before dark.

The boat was about three-fourths of a mile off, and as twilight gathered we saw that she ranged exactly under a certain larpps star which it would be easy to distingujflT from all others.

As the evening advanced, alight breeae began to fill tho sails till the ship gathered steerageway. There was now not a moment to loos and, dropping silently under tbe bow, we struck out for the boat. I have since thought that this was a prodigious to do, there in the midst of the Atlantic ooeanl Tbe picture we made as we dropped from the bow of that big ship has often recurred to ma

More and more the wind breesed up, so that we were obliged to allow something for the drift of the boat, for we could not see her. gh» must have moved a little to onejdle of the star—and suppose we should miswber altogether, we thought!

At length it seemed to us that- we'must have swum more than a mile. We were very tired began to realise the fearful position in which we had placed ourselves. Oould we have passed the object of our search? Tbe breese increased rapidly, and the water dashed In our faces. Of course the boat must now be drifting very fast, and probably we hft/j not made allowance enough for the wind.

Throwing ourselves upon our backs, we rated awhile to rain strength for further effort but such effort must now be feeble at the best .The d««K of the waves confused ufc and as to the stars, we had by this time got thom sadly mixed.

Suddenly Tom popped over upon his breast and uttered some kind of an exclamation. "What is itf" I asked. "Do you see herf* "No but I soo something else. Look! lookl there's a vessel's topgallant sails against tbe sky!M

Sure enough, it was as he said. Close upon us roso the canvas of a square rigger, towering through tho darkness like the form of a great tree.

We shouted as loud as possible and soon "creak, creak" went her mainyard as it swung around till the sail was laid to the mast.

A boat was sent for us, and we were taken up almost spoechless. What was my surprise to recognise in the crew of the yawl the second mate and two of the hands of the br:' AmnlU, flU) very craft from which I he been Impressed.

They took us on board the vessel, and had wo descended there from the sky ho* captain and his men could hardly have more astouished at our appearouoe. Tbe Ainoii', thoy told us, had left Barbadoes im mediately after, barselves. and had not at any time been entirely becalmed. But that she should happen to come jogging along just In the uick of time to save us seemed a surprising thing indeed.

We arrived. home after a short passage, Mwing nothing mors of the old Poictiers, and whotEer or not her oommander ever knew what become of us is more than I can teU. But I am sure of this, thaf a drifting boat in tbe night, in the midddle of tho Atlantic ocean, is a very uncertain thing to swim tori George H. Coomsr in The Argosy.

SLAYERS.

ARAB

To this day there is an oocaskmal cargo of blacks quietly picked up on the African coast and ran up tbe Red sea, while it Is no secret that hundreds of slaves are marched across tbe Soudan country and openly sold on the north coast When every other nationality bad been forced to quit the nefarious traffic in human flesh, tbe Arabs took hold and for ten years they defied the power of theallianoe. When I was first sent out to the east ooast as a midshipman on EL M. S. Rover, every Christian nation was assisting to prevent tbe traffic, but it goes without dispute

England was tbe only nation entering heartily into tbe work. She has done more on sea and land to break up ownership in human flesh than all tbe rest of the world combined. In only one or two instances on our station did the Rover receive anything Hhe hearty support from tbe vessels of

other

and in half a score of cases the crews

of merchant vessels gave us information calculated to Assist our enemies. Tbe Arab craft were not always commanded by Arabs. Renegade Americans, Frenchmen, Spaniards, and men of other nar tionalitlee were interested, and it was these men who gave us the most trouble. They were old hands in the business, up to all the tricks and dodges, and they gave us many a ^•ni— chase and played us many a sharp game. Tbe favorite sieve craft was the dhow, of light drmttbt, great spread of canvas, easily managed, and a fast sailer in any sort of a breeae, out various syndicates had purchased brigs, schooners and small ships, and they were flying all sorts of colors and professing all sorts of occupations. They oame down tbe east coast from Juba to

80-

fiola, a dfatanoe of athousand miles, measured by tbe trend of the ooast For two years iBngUiid bad onlv two slave catchers on this long **"*, and it aid not require much sharpnea to get out a contraband cargo.

Tbe mouth of every river on that ooast has from two to five outlets, and many of them spray out into long Inlets and false channels, traversing miles of swamp or low land, and twenty cruisers ooold not have kept the coast under strict guard. The Rover was a fast owning brig, but she should have been a pfrwTMT to carry out tbe programme laic^ down for her.

One day just as we were ready to sail from after making some needed repairs, an American merchantman came in with three blacks aboard. They bad been picked up off a raft at sea a hundred miles down the ooast Tbe Yankee captain brought them aboaid and turned them over with the observation:

a-standing neutral on this blackbird question, captain. It seems wrong to drag toast niggers off and make slaves of tan, but our constitution permits slavery. I ne^r owned one and never shall, but weVe got tt have slaves or We cant have ootton and sugar. Theee poor devils have no doubt got a story to tell Maybe it win furnish a pointer for you and maybe it wont. I'm a-etanding neutral, as I said before. If you oanget anything out of them go ahead." we bad two or three interpreters aboard, and it wasn't long before we learned that a brig called the Lion had put in at tbe mouth of the Zlnga, seventy miles down tbe coast, and was loading a cargo. The three men had escaped from a barraooon three miles from tbe ooast, reached«the water and built a raft, and, although realizing that there was not one chance' In a hundred for their lives if they drifted out to sea, they took it, and had been afloat two days and two nights wheu pioked up. The brig had not begun to load cargo when they escaped. Indeed, the barraooon held only about eighty captives, while she wanted two hundred or over, and it would be four or five days before her complement was ready.

Tbe brig referred to professed to be a merchantman. We had overhauled and boarded her twice without finding anything suspicious, but yet we had been told several times that she was one of the luckiest crafts in the slave trade. Here was a golden opportunity, and the story of the blacks was hardly completed before the Rover had made sail. We were in luck In carrying a fine breeze with us for fifty miles down the coast, then wo got oat's paws and calms, a squall or two, and it was evening of the second day before we roundetohe point and looked into the bight, at the vrett side of. which was the mouth of the Zingo. This bight was seven or eight miles long by a varying width, being shaped like a pear, with tbe large end toward the sea. We still had alight breese to work under, and a boat was sent ahead to take soundings, and we moved up tbe bight about two miles. Then we anchored to wait for another day.

About 11 o'clock at night tbe tide began to run out, and with It came a land breese, but tbe latter blew itself out In half an hour, and just as two boats bad been ordered down to take their stations where they could intercept and board tbe slaver If she should comerout She might have completed her cargo and might not but having run in under our very nosa, as it wvrs, her crew would be to get tbe blacks aboard and be off at the earliest moment Aa the wind died away tbe boats were recalled, and half an hour later a light fog settled down on tbe water and drcumsoribed our vision to a distance of fifty feet Orders wars given for strict silence aboard, and during tbe rest of the night a small boat might have pulled all around us and beard nothing to indicate our pressoca Wbeu morning came the men were turned up and with the least possible nsfcea, and wt waited for the eon to disperse the fp before piping to breakfast

In that fog ws were a ghostly ship and a gbostiy crww, but after half an boar's watttag the fog began to break up Into qoser shaped toognse and rifts and drift away, and aO of a sodden it vanished and left as a dear

A wild nil broke from every «nu» aboard, for there, banSy musket

She bad left her moorings with tbe wind and tide, bet the farmer bad faded bsr, and tbe fog coming on bad obliged bar to anchor for tbe nigfat She had been within a mOe and a half of mall night, and bad lifted her anchor in the early morning to drift down with tbe last of tbe tide and be veady to make bar offing with tbe Ant of tbe latd breeae,

Die yell of surprise and eatMSaetkn from oar decks was echoed by 00a of

^nii /tV ."fcS

and bate from the slaver. Orders were given to drop our boats and board her, but at the same moment her yawl dropped into tbe water, and captain and crew tumbled into it to escape us. There was a little delay in getting away, one of her men stopping behind for a moment, but when the yawl headed up tbe bight, it was at such a pace as to discourage us. We had two boats down, but it was the other one which pursued the yawl, while I was ordered to board the slaver and take possession. We pulled Araght for her, but before we got alongside pandemonium broke loose. The fellow who lingered behind bad knocked tbe fastenings off the gratings which covered the two hatches in her decks, and the blacks swarmed up and over the brig like so many hornets.

Those dusky fellows were submissive enough when overawed, but as they came on deck to find themselves in possession they got rid of their light chains, and menaced us from every foot of therafl. They could not understand what had occurred, and all ships and all crews were alike to them. They seised whatever weapons they could get bold of, put themselves under a oouple of leaders who had probably been chiefs, and dared us to board. I puUed back to our craft for instructions, and was ordered to take one of the interpreters back with me and let him explain the situation. It was impossible for him to do so owing to the yells and shouts which greeted us. They could see him, and see that he was not one of us, but when be stood up and made signs tbe confusion was Increased.

The other boat now returned from her vain chase, but we had as yet formed no plan when the land breese sprang up and the blacks began to mnhtt sail on the brig. There must have been two or three among them who had been aboard of a sailing craft, or they were sharp enough to study out tbe rig and discover which ropes to haul on. None of them dared go aloft, but they let fall or hoisted away until the breeze got a purchase on the bunts and festoons, and tnec the jibs were run up and trimmed down almost as well as sailors could have done it We sought to board her white so many of the blacks were busy, but there were enough left on guard to thwart our efforts. If we ooold have used our pistols and cutlasses we oould have been on her decks in two minutes, but our orders were not to Injure a man of them, our captain hoping that after their first sport was over the Interpreters might find opportunity to explain.

What followed the coming of the breese has never been detailed exoept in official reports. H»e wind came up strong and gusty, showing an atmospheric disturbance inland, and the management of a vessel was something that no one aboard understood. She had got her noee pointed up the bight by the time the breeze took her, and away die moved as fast as we could pull our boat behind her, yawing to starboard or port in such away that her wake was like a rail fence. The blacks evidently wanted to return to land, and as she moved that way their yelling was tremendous. After a little practice at tbe wheel the helmsman kept a better course, but the breese gusted up strong every few minutes, and during theee gusts he lost his nerve and everything was in confusion. However, the brig kept advancing up tbe bight all the time, and our two boats followed behind. She was holding tolerably fair for the mouth of the river, and we had made up our minds that she would certainly be beached when she suddenly fell off, wabbled about, came up into the wind again, and, after hanging for a moment, paid off and turned almost on her heel and headed far the ocean.

Things must have been at sixes and sevens aboard, for the whole crowd yelled In terror. We did not know until later on what had caused this erratic movement The crew of the slaver, after pursuit had been given over, ill I sctyai their oars to see the affair out i«vj at the brig headed up tbe bight they cut across her bows to recapture her, not seeing us In her wake. They probably attempted to book on to her fore chains, but in any event they got tn her course and were run down and sent to the bottom as surely as If tbe Mortlni bad planned it Not a man

the brig headed for the sea tbe

breeae helped her along faster, and tbe helmsman got back his nerve and managed to hold her pretty even. Our own craft slipped her anchor and mode sail as a matter of precau tion, but the Lion passed her by a quarter of a mile and held straight out We had now to pursue the foolish crowd, which we did as soon as our boats could be recalled. We hoped that tbe aaas now getting up would disable the blacks, but few, if any, of them seemed to mind it We could mil five feet to her one, and we ran as close as was prudent and made every effort to get thom to understand that we were friends., They answered us with threat and menace. When we fired a gun, hoping to frighten them Into submission, it seemed to have just tbe opposite effect She was held straight out to sea, and we followed, feeling that disaster must soon happen. She was a good ten miles out when we got the word to reef and clerw for an approaching squall, and we were hardly ready for it when it came booming down and shut out sight of everything for ten minutes. When it had passed tbe brig was bottom op a mile away. She had turned turtle, and not a soul aboard of her escaped.—TXtm York Sun.

Almost Strangled for Splinter. Fremdenbkitt tells of a machinist In Lubeck who got an Iron splinter in his eye, which could not be discovered by any of tbe local eye doctors. He was Informed that he would have to prepare to lose tbe injured organ. The man went to Dr. Binder and told him his trouble. "Ah, then," said the popular doctor, "we may toy first some other remedy. Have you a good sized handkerchief on youf* "Yes, but it's a colored one." "Oh, the color makes no difference. GMve it here, my lad."

Dr. Binder twisted the handkerchief into a rope, which be coiled round his patient's neck, tying it tightly till the man thought be Would suffocate, and his eyes started from their sockets. Dr. Binder now examined tbe sore eye, and detected tbe splinter tn a portion of the ball which had hitherto remained tnvisibla. He prooeeded to removeftand tbe eye was saved. "My conscience, I thought you'd hsevs oboked me straight off said tho patient, as soon as be bad recovered his breotlv "Poohr answered Binder "doot make a fuss about such trifles."

How Hair Cloth Is Made.

Many people understand, of course, bow hair (doth Is made, but for the edification of thoee who do not we will explain the process. In tbe first place, horse hair cannot be dyed. It repels ooloring matter so to make black cloth it is necessary to secure natural black hair. Tbe hones, In many cases absolutely wild, running unrestrained, are regularly coraDod and shorn. Of course black hair is preferable, but sometimes gray stock is utilised. Hot only the tails but also the manes are cut the hair Is bunched. Theee bunches seldom contain hairs of lees length than two feet some are even three and three and onehalf feet, and the thickness of the bunches Is usually two or three inches.

The hair cloth looms are provided with what we may call a nipper, in place of shuttle, and the nipper is so finely actuated that it travels across the warp and seises from the bunches ooe hair only, tike jaws of the nipper being too fine to grasp more than one, and carries it across the weft thrikuls, dropping it into its exact place. The action of tbe loom mechanically forces the hair next to its predecessor, the warp crosses upon it, snugly holds it in its place, the nipper travels back and seises another, and so on and on. The delicacy and almost human accuracy with which each separate hair is placed between tbe warp threads Is really incredible.—Upholsterer.

About Bananas.

There Is no such thing as a banana season now, so far as local fruit men know. 8t Louis is a heavy banana market and formerly we used to have the bulk of the fruit arrive In the early part of the spring. But now there stems to be a regular carrying trade from tbe West Indies to New Orleans, whence the bunches of fruit are shipped up the river, no matter whether the Ice is just broken up, or whether the thermometer registers 100 in the shade. It is next to impossible to ship a ripeany such distanoe as is necessary to beoovered, as what escaped bruising and crushing would rot on tbe wajr. So tbe fruit Is picket! while quite green, and when it arrives sound and hard it is bung up tn a sweating room, where it ripens in twenty four hoars tn hot weather, and in three or four days in winter. Of oourse the flavor tsnt quite up to that of fruit which ripens naturally, bat the difference is not so great as might be imagined.—St Louis GlobeDemocrat __________________
