THE CAPTAIN'S"3RIP,

An old California fr^nd—John \V1I8mi, let uh call khn for coz ncuctieo—had (•en Btrolltet# about Nov.' York, refreshing liic tnr-raory. visiting new points of interest end generally "tsMng in" tlie rhte. In piloting lilta round the city I Wturully .stumbled upon tho Eden Mujfe. mil .took lih:i in to see the grirfy groups and tableaux in the crypt. He was very much intoreswnl in thorn and repeatedly expressed surprise and admiration at tho skill of the workmanship 'anil the artistic and realistic effects of tho grouping and attitudes. Having worn tho blue during the civil war he was especially attracted by the representation oi' Cuater's last fight but I olnerved that he could hardly take his eyes off a group of figumi in oriehtal costumes, aud that for Home minutes after examining that group he continued grave and absent niirviied. Presently, at luncheon, I asked Jack what particular memory that oriental tableau had stimulated. I put the question advisedly, because I knew that my friend had seen men and cities and experienced many and strange adventures, and all his stories were good, while m*:it of them were apt to lie new. So I deliberately angled for a yarn, feeling that it would harmonize better with a cigar than afresh descent into the streets. -Jack, on being questioned, fell once more into his abstracted mood, und, after a minute of silence, said slowly: •*I was thinking of a group I once saw, not composed of was iigures, yet an rigid and motionless, iu which an Oriental bore a conspicuous part."

After this beginning, of course, I did not let Jack go until ho had told his story, find what ho said is now reproduced here: "After the eldfee of tho war I fotmd it impossible to settlo down again to Innndrum work, but I soon found that if 1 was in search of adventure it would be necessary to try some other country than my own. The United States \v nt. that time bound to make up for lo.it time. All the business and money making tendencies of tlu' nation seemed stimulated to the uttermost. Speculation was booming the war i^pirit hud put unheard of audacity into all kinds of co amercial enterpriser, and, generally, the hour of tho capable had come.

I did not happen to bo of these. I had a little money, enough to live upon comfortably, and 1 felt no inclination to ,0 a-grtibbing for more. Action, excitenent, pk'Uim'-queueiia, the unexpected were what I desired, and 1 begau looking over the world for some situation cautioning a promise. •At lu.-t I got tired of waiting and to compromise with myself by a

Eviedcoastdrifting.

ourse of I drifted to tho Pacific Uiea to the Sandwich Islands from there to Japan, and after a stay of several moaths iu one of the most interesting countries and among tho most delightful people know I found my way to Canton. This was some time after Horatio E. Lay's fiasco. You reneinl.Hr about that? No? Well, this av was a blue blooded English diplomatic fellow, who thought he could do a troke of business for lunuelf by undertaking to organise a iKvt for the Chinese .government wherewith to pat down piracy, at that time very troublesome, •Cfcfpeeially in and about Kwangtung. jLuy obtained some sort of authority,

1Wtmt

to England, bought or built a lot of gunlxwits, titUnlthcm out for service and engaged Capt. Shorard Uelwrne, a gsdlant naval officer, to command the jMjuadron. 'But this was not what the Chinese wanted. Their suea was to man the vessels with their own people, and give tlieuv native otlieers, too. Of course, this would hr.ve resxdteil in one of two •ways: either the pirates vrvaid have cajvtuml the gualxat» promptly, or the commanders of the gitulKats would liavo jgone into partnership with the pirates. Tluit, however, w.v? no'.nxly's busine:^ but that of the government, whtw subjects wei\ cutting one another's throats.

3f one hundred men. ""Well. I had friends, and got the comraord and after the usnal trouble in scraping a ship's company together, and then drilling them into something like working order, I was ready for sea. "The Chinese authorities had considered that it would be as well to make the trial trip pay expenses, if possible, by extending the tests so as to ascertain what the gnnboat was good for in action- At that time the mouth of Pearl river was Rested by piratical junks, which found shelter and easy means of escape in the numerous small islands and estuaries into which the delta of that stream is divided." The pirates usually confined their attentions to the craft of their own cotfntrymen, but oct Hsionally when the grist was very short or the opportunity very tempting, they would attack some small foreign merchantman and, in these cases, they made "it a rule to kill every soul on bonrd, as the simplest way of preventing those awkward foreign protests which were sure to stir the mandarins up to a serious crusade against them. "You, of course, understand that piracy in China is not regarded as a heinocs crime. The Mongolian view of the business is pretty much that which all the western nations held in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries only there is less romance and more practicability about the pigtails. Very respectable Ciiineso business men interest themselves in piracy along the Kwangtung coast, just as staid old English merchants used to interest themselves in smuggling ahundred years ago, and nobody thinks the worse of a man for having been a pirate, provided he has been lucky at it. Aa to the taking of life, there is so much superfluous humanity in China, and life there is so little worth living for the majority, that public opinion is quite indifferent on tho subject. '•While I had been drumming up my crow in Canton I had fallon in with an American skipper who had for some time been mailing a good sized coaster for a wealthy Chineso house. He had his wife with him, and they were both very pleasant people. Ho was a Cape Cod man, not [rv'ity to look at, for ho had the leanest frame ar*1 $ie biggest hands and feet I evjr «-:"*'His hands, especially, would '"^'attracted attention anywhere, not ly for their size, but for the look of tho latent muscular power in them. He was not ono of those disagreeable big [i .tod men who think it a good joke to crush your fingers in shaking hands with you, but when ho did shake hands with a restrained, friendly grip you felt the possibilities of his sqneezo plainly enough. You will see later on why I dwell upon this physical peculiarity of Cant. Winsar, for that was his name. His wife, I fancy, must have como from tl:o i'.outh. Atxall events she had a sor.fhern complexion—a clear pallor— with black eyes and hair and a southern suppleness and grace of bearing. She 7,-an not exactly a pretty woman, but decidedly pleasing, and her composure and quiet, gentle manners won upon you steadily. Both of them spoke Chinese fluently, and they gave a favorable account of the people. "They had a special pet in a Chinese steward named Tin-Ling, a burly, round faced fellow, who would have passed nnster anywhere for an honest man but for his eyes. They struck me 11s treacherous from the first. He never looked anybody squarely in tho f.*»ce, or encountered a steady glance without squirming. I concluded, however, that his employers understood him, and, anyhow, it was no affair of mine. My acquaintance with the Winsars lasted until tho captain's vessel, a small bark named tho So Kiang. was ready to sail on one of her regular coasting cruises. She would bo away some three months, and would visit a number of little ports. I expected to get away about forty-eight hours a?tar her. and the evei-ing beforo o'ae left! took supper aboard her with t'ae skipper and we drank a farewell glass. As I was going away I happened to see Tin-Ling leaning over the side talking in a low tons to some rough looking men in a sampan alongside, and a half joking way I said: 'Winsar. don't you think yon trust that fellow too much? If I were in your place, with nobody aluut me but Chinese, I should keep a prettr sharp oye upon a fellow with eyes shifty as his.' "The captain laughed carelessly, and merely said something about Tin-Ling being all ri :ht, and so we parted. "In due tune I got away on my gunboat, and down the river we went, the machinery working smoothly and the boat answering her helm smartly. Wo Were armed with two Armstrong guns of small caliber and a couple of Gatlings for close quarters, besides the usual small arms, rpekete, etc.—quite enough to keep off any number of Chinese pirat**, or to give a good account of them in a square set-to. It was my intention to begin by exploring tho nobks and crannies of the Pearl river delta," and I had taken a pilot (aft old pirate) who knew those intricate water* thoroughly. "We reached the mouth of the river, anchored for the night, and next morning at daybn. tk hove up and began to thread tlte uw§8 and eetniries of that region. Of course with due caution and the lead always going The first day brought no grist to urn mill, and that evening I brought up oetween two islets, and, being doubtful of the neighborhood, I kept a boat's crew rowing guard all night, for it vra« so dark in thai® that the pirates might have surrounded us without being «ea, provided they war© quiet enough. Howevor. we were not disturbed* and the second day opened without much prospect of exch«me«it. Probably the pirates had got wind of our expedition and had made themseirea •ease*. In any case there nothing to do but to fco on, and on wis went The scenery intasteting tewjugh if I had cam! for that, but I was fidgeting to try the guns on a mob of pirate junks, and the idea of being fooled was not soothing. "We trim steaming slowly along, dodging taming to avoid the numerous shoals, when suddenly a peculiar ripping, cre»Mng»otmd laxfe the silence. I Alwcenccig&ticd the noise. It waut the report of a match lock volley, and it

mm

$mmm

of course indicated a fight scwncwhste and in all probability an aitack by the pirates on sonvs vessel- I waited for th© smoko to rise, *nd thus ascertained tbe scene of the difficulty, whatever it was. The white smoke showed above the trees about four miles off in a straight line as nearly as I ccmld judge, but how far that meant by water it was quite impossible to tell My delta pilot, who had pricked up his ears like an old charger on hearing the firing, told me be knew where the fighting waa going on and could take me to it, but it would require a full hour to get there. There was no help for it, of course. Wo could not straighten or shorten the winding channel, nor could wo clap on full speed. The firing maritime continued in a queer spasmodic way, and at intervals ths rattle of the matchlocks was punctuated by a much clearer} sharper sound, which I felt sure was that of a rifle or a revolver. This made the case more serious, for it looked as though the pirates were attacking a foreign (that is, European) vessel "It was tiresome work crawling through thc-se passages, and I was afraid we should be too lat© for help in rescue after all. But at last wo rourded a bluff point and came suddenly into a sort, of lagoon, three times as wide as tho average passages, tmd then we saw what all tbe fuss meant. There lay my friend Winsar's bark the So* Xiang, fairly surrounded, at a distance of a hundred yards, by vicious looking junks, which were peppering her at leisure, but not yet venturing to board, her. Probably they had suffered from Winsar's fire and concluded to keep on shooting from a distance until they had killed or wounded him and the boatswain, they being the only white men on the trader. Winsar?s Chinese crew seemed to have taken no part in the fight at all events they were not visible. The attacking junks were so occupied in baiting poor Winoar that they did not see the gunboat for a few moments, and I had time to givo them one smashing discharge from both the Armstrongs and both the gatlings before they recovered their scattered wits and sprang to sweep and sail in desperate hurry. "I suppose I ought to have armed my boaje and chased the ruffians, but I was feeling uneasy about Winsar, whose rifle I had not heard for several minutes, and I remembered, too, with fresh misgiving, the sinister looks of the pet steward, Tin-Ling. So after driving kali a dozen junks ashore I draw alongside of tho SoKiang, piped away the cutter and went aboard her. The first thing I noticed wa3 that the dock was deserted. The next sign I looked for was marks of blood, but there were none. This seemed to indic-ato that tho crew had not risen upon the captain, and perhaps also that he had not bc?en wounded. But, if alive, where was he? Silence reigned throughout the vessel. I went down the companionway into the cabin. There was no sign of lifo there. I of course know tho position of the captain's cabin and hastened toward it. Coming out of, the glare of tho sr.n my eyes could not instantly adjust themselves to the semidarkness of tho cabin, but by the time I reached tho door I could see well enough., and the scono that met me on the threshold brought mo to a dead halt. "Tkb is th2 tableau I there saw: On the standing bed place lay the body of Mrs. Winsar, the fitce white, still, fixed, with horror in tho wide open eyes. A thin stream of blood had trickled, down her brea.'t. Over her, in the act of striking, leaned Tin-Ling, his right arm extended, with along knife in the hand, and tho ioint of the blade suspended not two inches above Mrs. Winsar's heart Holding thy assa^n in an iron grip, one tremendous hand enveloping his "throat, the other clafjpol .about the wrist of his knife arm, stood Capt. Winsar. Hi9 form was diw.rn to its full height his cjm. literally blazsd from a face white as do tth, and he stood as if turned to stone. Hi steward was as motion^ less. There w?ro tho three actor3 in this frightful seen?, apparently all paralyzed or petrified arsd I seemed myself to be stiffening into tho same ghastly rigidity as I-stood there looking on. "At last I roused myself and stepped into the cabin. My movement broke the captain's trance of horror. H« gave a deep nigh, recognized me and said wearily: 'Take this devil, Mr. Wilson he has killed my wife.' With that*he relaxed his hold upon Tin-Ling's throat. I looked at tho Chinaman, whose head fell limply on his shoulder, and saw at once that ho was dead. His neck was broken, and. in all probability, in the very moment Winsar/set his grip upon it. How long tho captain had stood there, holding the corpse, we never knew, but it was at least ten minutes. As we raised our eyes from the blackened features of the traitor a faint sigh caught my ear, and, turning to the bed, I saw that Mrs, Winsar's eyelids were quivering. 'Captain!' I cried excitedly, •I don't think your wife is dead, after all'/ "And. to cut a long story short, she was not dead she was not even dangermtsl hurt, She had caught Tin-Ling rushing xn upon her with his knife, perhaps bent only upon plunder at the moment, but she fchrieked, and the steward sprang upon her. Her husband had heard her stream, and rushed below nt the very instant Tin-Ling's knife was descending. Its point had cut jnst deep enough mto the flesh to draw Mood, when those iiwn hismda gripped Men and I urn indmed to think that the death of Tin-Ling could nj»t have been more sadden ami ixdnless had the agent been electricity, instead of bone and muscle. "This wru the tableau the figures in tfc» crypt of this Eden Mnsee recalled to my mind said Jack Wilson, as wo passed out into Broadway again.—G. F. Paxscms in Kew York Ledger.

LIFE OF A CAE HOKSR

HOW THE STOCK IS SELECTED AND 1^* KEPT IN CONDITION. 3

The Avorsijc Animal HAS a Pretty Faxr life—Tho V/ork Is Hard, bnt He Excellent Care G^merally—How Horsot ,_Jlre Selected.

Huch pity is wasted on the street car hcrse. People have got into the way of imagining that he works about twelve hours out of the twenty-four, that ho is harshly treated and poorly fed, and that, in fact,, bis whols life, from tha liiao he leaves the country until he ia eold, "svom out. to the jobber, is nothii:: more or less than the most disheartening kind of a "demnition grind." The idea is entirely erroneous. While he doss work the street car horse works hard, bilt he is never overtasked. Ho represents so much money, and the aim of his owners is to make him last as long as possible. With this end in view, and profiting by experience, the managers of car stables have reduced the workint hours bf-the stock to a minimum, made great improvements in the system cf feeding and established rules, the proper fulfillment of which insures to each animal jnst as much care and attention as his more fortunate brethren in the upper circles of equine society are wont to receive.

The car horse is all right. Less pity and a little more consideration would about suit his book. For instance, if some people, the majority of whom are of tho gentler sex, would occasionally condescend to walk half a block instead of compelling him to make additional and unnecessary stops and starts, he would be profoundly grateful. In his case it.is the first few steps which cause him the most trouble, and the less of this kind of exorcise he has tho better he is pleased. As a rule he is well treated by the driver, for cruelty detected generally means instant dismissal. .* A BUYE11 TALKS.

In search of information relating to the daily lifo of the car horse, the writer a l'cw days ago called upon Mr. Newberry S. Frost, who does all tho buying of live stock for tlio Atlantic Avenuo Railroad* company. Mr. Frost was quite willing to let the public into his confidence, and this is what he said: "Wo have at present in our various slables somewhero in the neighborhood of 1,600 horses, all of which were raised iA the west. We used to get our stock from this and neighboring states, but now it is chiefly drawn from Iowa, Missouri and Illinois. The horses are brought on in droves and sold in New York. What wo want and try to get is a closely built animal from 15.1 to 16 hands in height and weighing from 1,050 to 1,200 pounds. Under the former figure they would not be up to our work, and il above tho latter they would be apt to wear themselves out entirely too soon. "As to prico I should say that the average would bo about $150. A groat number of what we call ranch horses, that is horses raised on the plains, have been disposed of for something like $120. We do not buy any ranch horses. They are hardy, enough, but have not the weight for railroad work. All our horses are raised on farms. They are carefully selected and not finally accepted until they have satisfactorily undergone a ten days'trial. There are plenty of horses which are suitable for agricultural work, but which are of no account whatever between the tracks. In regard to nge, wo do not take horses under 5 nor over 8.

WHAT OOOD CARE HAS DONE.

An animal that is sound in wind and limb will last, with proper care, about five years. Some last a great deal longer, but that is near tho average. We have some few now that wo have had over twelve years, and thoy are still in good condition. It wotild not be out of the way to state that the working life of a street car horse has, by proper attention and carcful feeding, been lengthened to the extent of at least a yeay. Thus we get five years' work now where formerly we got no more than four. "I cannot tell exactly how many hours constitute a horse's working day or night, but the distance run by each is about sixteen miles. The speed maintained is six miles an hour, and this rate has to be kept up whether tho car be empty or filled. It is steady work and hard, but it is the starting which tells most heavily on the horses. Their foet generally give way first, and vfrhen the feet ane unsound the animal is no longer of any use to us. "Condemned horses are sold to dealers who make a specialty of buying from railroad companies, and by these men are sold again to farmers and peddlers. A great many go to the country, for the fanners would just as soon have them as higher priced animals. A horse which is not fit to keep up a six-mile-an-honr gait may still do good work on a walk, and that is as fast as the farmers and peddlers want them to go. To each of our horses is fed fifteen pounds of a mixture of ground oats and corn and nine pounds of hay c&ch day The meal is mixed in the proportion of two bushels of corn to one of oats. Some horses eat more than others, of course, and individual appetites must receive consideration, but the figures given are about the average. Stable foremen ane selected oa account of their practical knowledge of horses, acid over all a veterinary surgeon has supervision. "—Brooklyn Eagle.

Pain Comes from Overwork. If Louisa Alcott made her $000,000 by her pen she earned It-, and she wore a martyr's crown to get it, too. Plenty of women have neuralgia and premature old age without the money to soften suffering, antl they, too, write as she jlid that life is a mystery. There is no mystery about it. The lesson of ajl this suffering begins to dawn upon the race, that by no other discipline, no less penalty, will obstinate, obtuse human nature ever learn to obey the laws of its' Own well being. One would think that three days' acute neuralgia would tench any mortal the advantage of taking care of one's self. But ten, twenty years seems none too much to teach this simple lesson, bright as sunshine in the universe, the secret of all loss and decay, that God's wrll is we saouldtake car© of ourselves and our health first of .all. We presume to neglect this first obvious duty, and soon there is. no grace nor usefulness left in us.—Shirley Dare's Letter.

Give TTitcr to Infants.

A distinguished children's doctor believes, from his practice, that infants generally. whether brought up at the breast or artificially, are not supplied with sufficient water, the fluid portion of their food being quickly taken up and leaving the solid too thick to be easily digested. In warm, dry weather healthy babies will take water every hour with advantage, and their frequent fre',fulness and rise of temperature are often directly due to their not having it. A free supply of water and restricting the frequency of nursing havo been found at the nursery to be a most effectual check in cases of incipient fevev, a diminished rate of mortality and marked reduction in the number of gastric and intestinal complaints being attributed to this cause. In beech cutting water soothes the gums, and frequently stops the fretting and restlessness universal in children at this period.— New York Ledger.
