A TALK OF THE KOHTH PACIFIC. In the year 185 I was in command of the Dolphin, a fine bark of six hundred tons. We had been on a 'whaling voyage, and had obtained an unusually good cargo of oil, both in quality and quantity. With our course laid for home, the crew in good health, and a fair prospect of per centage money on the cargo, what more could we want to keep the song and the jest on the Mps of the crew ? Time passed quickly along. "Homeward lMund" has an intensified meaning to the w haler's crew, and as we bowled along with a gof h! breeze, each day getting nearer and nearer to our homes and firesides, there were few on the vessel who did not feel their spirits rising with each day's progress. One night about eleven o'clock I was Kitting at the upper end of my cabin table, consulting a chart on which the vessel's course was laid down. I had been reading "Dante's Inferno," and the horrible nature of the work had aroused my sensitive feel ings to such an extent that I had deter mined to try how far a cigar and a walk on deck would steady my nerves. Just as I was about rising from my chair to go on deck I noticed a figure descending the coin- panionvray betore me. A single glance told me that it was not one of the crew. No one of my well-fed, sleek men could possibly look as miserable as this figure looked, even at the distance at which I saw him. Slowly he descended the steps, grasping the hand-rail to support himself, as if he were too feeble to descend without support. His back was bent, and his head lay for ward on his breast, as if he was carefully watching his foot-steps ; his feet were bare, while his head was enveloped in a piece of old sail-cloth in place of a cap. His left arm hung down by his side, carefully rolled up in his coat, which had evidently been taken off for that purpose ; and the arm itself appeared to be broken. Quietly and without uttering a woixl he approached me; and at last he sat down at the opposite end of the table to that which was ray accus tomed place. He then slowly raised his head, and a sight was presented to my astonished gaze, the like of which I hope I may never see again. A fine, noble lace it was : but at tenuated by disease and suffering, or per haps both. The features had been good and regular, but now the cheeks were sunk en and hollow : the teeth, white and even. were firmly set together, while the thin, parched lips were drawn buck from them. The eyes were as black as coal, but sunk far back in the head, and I saw that they were at once fixed on me with a dull, un meaning stare. The figure now stood up just opposite to me, and I felt myself spell bound to my seat without the power to ad dress it. Having looked at nio fixedly for some time the figure then walked up to my side till it touched my shoulder. Reaching out his arm, he laid a bony finger on the chart which was on the table, and before I could muster courage to articulate, lo 1 he had disappeared. Recovering my composure somewhat, I sprang with a bound up the companionway and shouted for the mate. He speedily re plied to my call, and came aft, dragging something behind him which kept up a continual howling. As he came nearer to me I saw that it was my Labrador dog Caspar, and I inquired the meaning of what he was doing. . "Why, sir," he replied, "the dog lay on the companion hatch until a few moments ago, apparently sound asleep, when all of a sudden he sprang up with a horrible bowl, and ran to his kennel forward with his tail between his legs. I then Went after him, and found him in his kennel shaking with fright ; and when I put my hand in to pat him, he attempted to bite me. Hearing you call, I dragged him aft with me by his collar, to see if he had not been hurt in some manner, for I never saw him act so before." I did not examine the terrified dog. I felt that he had seen my visitor as well as myself. With some diniculty I soothed him, and then went down below. Walk ing up to my table, I cast a look down at the chart. At the exact spot where my visitor had placed his attenuated finger I iaw a dull red mark, and, on a closer ex amination, I perceived that it was a drop of blood. The mark indicated a position, on the chart w hich was a day's sail from and at right angles to our course. For two hours 1 paced the deck, wondering at what had hapjiened. The visitor was too surely no creation of my own imagination, for the dog had seen the figure as well as myself and the spot on the chart was plain evi dence. What could it mean ? I half de termined to ask the mate's ad v I .e. He was a firm believer in spiritual man ifestations, and would endeavor to solve the enigma iu some way or other. But then I had always ridiculed his notions, aud it was too galling to my pride toaskhisadvico now on that of which I had always denied the existence, save in a heated imagination; so I determined to keep my own counsel. Turning In soon after, I slept well, and awoke refreshed determined in my own mind to say nothing and think no more about it. When I got on deck, I found that we were becalmed. Not a ripple was on tho water. The day passed away monotonous ly enough. The crew slept. I read and smoked, and eleven o'clock that night found me in my chair at the head of the table in the cabin. Caspar, who had now quite got over his fears, lay on the hatch at the head of the ."..-.. il, ,L1 1113 I 'tl L . I .ill. his tail as a soil of greeting to the mate as ' 1 he kept passing him in his walk on the deck. This evening my thoughts were tranquil, for I was reading a volume of Longfellow's poems, and was ia the michst of ' 'Evangeline' when I heard a howl from Caspar, and the curry of his feet as he scampered forward. Looking up, I saw my visitor of the pre vious night again deacending the compan ionway. lie seemed, much weaker, antl came slowly down, clutching the hand-rail j u.1. I,:- l J i 1 If. ' wiiii iii one buuiiu itnu itnu uauu. no walked across the cabin more feebly than before, and his respiration was heavy and labored when he reached the table. He glanced at the table with an anxious look, as if to see whether the chart was still there. It was not. He then gazed at me , with a disappointed and sorrowful stare, J and disappeared. I remained quietly in my chair for about ten minutes after the spectre had departed. When I went on deck, I found the mate again endeavoring to soothe the dog, who snapped and snarled in his kennel until it was unsafe to approach him. Leaving him there, I w eDt below ; aud throwing myself, dressed as I was, on my cot, I tried to sleep. Unrefreshing and feverish was the sleep which visited me that night, and I arose in the morning totally unfit for work of any kind, and with my nerves entirely unstrung. What was expected of me? For what pur pose had I been warned ? What must I do? Thus I mused during the entire day. Caspar kept close to his kennel all the time, and steadily refused to eat or drink Whenever any of us approached him he at tempted to snap at us, and appeared as if entirely under the influence of some great fear, The calm had continued during the entire day, and we made no progress w hat ever. Again evening approached, and the same hour found me, as on the two previous nights, sitting at my table. This time I eagerly awaited my visitor. Would the figure again appear? I found myself hop ing that it would. This time I did not at tempt to read, for my thoughts were too troubled to permit of concentrating my mind on any book. The same chart, with the blood stain on it, lay on the table before me. Would my visitor, if he came again, touch, that spot, or would he give me some other sign which might indicate to me the course I ought to pursue ? This time there was no Caspar to warn me, but I felt that the figure was coming, even ere it appeared. Presently I saw it again coming down the stairs. This time it was evidently far weaker than before, for with difficulty could it stand, and it toiled down the steps in manifest suffering and agony. At last it reached the cabin-floor and attempted to advance toward me ; but no sooner had it let go the hand-rail than it sank down exhausted. I sprang up and rushed toward it ; but the moment I moved the spectre vanished, and when I attempt ed to raise the fallen figure, my hand touched the cabin-floor. And now a light seemed to break upon me. I rushed upon the deck, where I found the mate and crew setting all sail to catch the breeze which had just sprung up. 1 : i:i ..wwwtiw. niLin'm I course should be altered to that which ' would bring us to the spot marked so plain ly on the chart by the drop of blood. All that night I paced the deck. No sleep seemed possible to me until this hid den mystery should be revealed. We made a beautiful run, and with daylight I hoped to find tf hat t I knew not. The dawn brought a disappointment. A dense fog lay on the face of the ocean. We could discern nothing at ten yards' distance from the vessel's side. According to my calculations, and by th log, we should have been not far from that spot on the wide sea where I hoped to find a solution of the mystery- . , 3 Towards noon the wind died away, and at length deserted us altogether. Then the fog slowly arose, and I at once, glass in hand, ascended the rigging. With eager I gaze I scanned the horizon ahead and on 1 both bows, but no welcome object met my Tiisheartened at I knew not what, I was coming down, when I chanced to look Aiirectly astern. Almost directly in our wake, but far astcm of us, lay an object which, by the aid of my glass, I made out to be an opcu Imrtt. I could not discern anything in if, and it appeared to lie like a log upon the water. The gig as soon lowered, according to my orders, and a mate and a boat's crew were dispatched to inspect the boat as it lay far astern. I felt quite unequal to go ing myself, so agitated was I, but I had presence of mind enough to order some brandy and nourishment suitable to the sick and famished to be brought upon deck. I felt as assured that my visitor was there as if I had seen him in the boat; but whether alive or dead I dared not speculate. Twice I had been summoned, and twice I had ne glected the summons. On the third occa sion my sjiectre visitor had sunk, to all ap pearance, lifeless on the floor of my cabin. Was he dead, or was he only in a death like swoon ? I thought over the wonderful incidents which had caused me to find the boat. The wind had died away when I neglected to obey the first summons, nor did it return until after I had received the third call. Had it not again died away when it did, I should have passed the boat so far in the fcttr ns not to ol.lo t. H- v i imeu. J.s ll I 1 : 1 A " . was, we were very nearly out of sight w hen the horizou became clear. Half an hour's more wind, and the mys tery would never have been revealed. Scarce could I restrain my impatience. However, there was no help for it- I must ! wait until the gig returned. ! After hours of suspense, I at last beheld the gig approaching slowly, with the other boat iu tow. Unable to endure the terrible suspense, I went down into the cabin. goon j heard th t , t h- . -d r o 1 and the mate giving orders to lower away the chair from the yard-arm. Then I thought they had found him ; but he must be too feeble to climb the ship's side. A few moments, and I heard ap proaching footsteps, and down the stairs wag bronrht. Avith the assistant!a ,)f oftJiecreW) my visitor for the r time; some but now really and truly in the flesh He was supported in the arms of the mate, but he held on to the hand-rail just j as'I had seen him in the three visions. His I left arm hung loosely at his side, and was bandaged up just as I had observed on the three occasions of the spectre's visits. We gave him proper refreshment and put him to bed. He gradually revived, and in a few days was able to tell us his story. He had been captain of a large vessel trad ing in the Pacific. The crew had mutinied and had cast him adrift in an open boat, with nothing to eat but a few biscuits, which were thrown into the boat in deri sion by one of the mutineers. When these were eaten, he had tried to eke out life by eating his shoes, and with I water wrung from his clothes after rain ! and heavy dews he had quenched in a man ner his thirst. When found by the mate, he lay extended in the bottom of the boat j in a death-like swoon, and owed his recov- j ery, perhaps, chiefly to the brandy w hich I i had sent in the gig. In a few days more we assisted him on deck. Caspar no sooner saw him than he flew at him, and but for my interference, would have torn him to pieces. Durincr I the rest of the voyage we were obliged to " o keep the dog chained up. As soon as we , . , , . , , , perceived the boat, the Dolphin had been put upon her former course, and now, with a fair wind, we again sped merrily on. I now felt satisfied that omens and signs wore Bometifuea vouchnafod to mortal men for certain grave reasons, and, though not superstitious, I still believe that they are more frequent than is usually supposed. As we neared the port for which we were bound, Captain Williams (for such was the name of my visitor) was one day sitting with me in the cabin, when he asked to see the chart, as he wished to pick out the spot where I had found him. I gave him an entirely new chart, and he busied himself sharjieiiing a pencil with which to mark the place where he had so nearly lost his life. Suddenly I heard an exclamation from him, which he followed up by saying : "My dear , I am very sorry ; but I have cut my finger, and have dropped some blood on your new chart, and I see that I have soiled the very spot w hich I i T, ..,.4 . .. 1. .,4- i. 4 , A , , , , you found me. But," he added with a light laugh, "that will do instead to mark the place." -1 have the two charts now, both of them marked exactly alike ; one done by Cap tain AVilliams in the flesh, accidentally ; the other by . Reader, can you tell whom? Another Look at the AVolf. -During the brief existence of the Maine Liquor Law, a showman made his appearance in a certain town, with a Mnall, dirty, tattered canvass tent, a .half-starved wolf, and a suspicious looking keg. The admission fee of ten cents was cheerfully paid by a number of persons, who manifested a peculiarly strong desire to see this very common and villainous-looking specimen of the animal kingdom. But the oddest i part of the show to the bystanders was I that one visitor went in to "take another ; look at that wolf" no less than seven times : during the afternoon. The secret was at j last revealed. After some unsuccessful : attempts to start for home, he approached the tent door with an unsteady step, and, handing his last dime to the showman, . said, "I b-believe I'll take just one more I look at look at the wolf!" An In a speech delivered by Senator Ilayard, of Delaware, in the United States Senate Vast 'May, in opiMisition to the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and in favor of doing justice to the South, says the N. V. Metropolitan Prcord, that distinguished gentleman related an incident which pos sesses a peculiar interest at this particular time, and which, if lead by every liht thinking man in the North, would, we be lieve, produce no slight effect on the result of the campaign. V.'e take special plea sure in its republication : In conclusion, I will ask the Senate, view ing all these facts, considering the history of the past three years, ami ask also the people of the country, to whom I speak equally with those w ho happen now to hear nie, is it not time to abolish this phrase "reconstruction" and substitute that better and more potent word "reconciliation ?" "What ye sow that also shall ye reap" is a solemn truth and never more true than in man's government of his follow. Human hearts respond to sentiments of generosity and justice and confidence by actions of like nature. Harshness and injustice bear fruits like themselves. It was with regret and surprise that I found in the Olobe of the 10th of -May a speech made during my absence from the Senate by the honorable Senator Horn liuli ana (Mr Pratt), who was a member of the same committee and the chairman of the sub-committee, and one whose speech and report have been relied ujioii by his party f lends as giving a true picture of the con dition of the country in regard to which Congress is now attempting to legislate. In speaking of the Southern people and the question of extending amnesty and oblivion for their past political oMenscs, he seems to mourn over the fact and to condemn those people because "He dwnies that he committed treason in re bellion. Jlo glories in the battles tie fought and the injuries his arms intlictod ou the itovei u uient. He honorsthose who most distinguished themselves in tlie bad cause. He coiuii.ei!.iSas kernes those who fell in the rebellion, and year ly he pays visits to the graves of his former comrades in aims, and strews theiu with flow ers and moistens thein with tears." Yes, Mr. President, and should it ever come to pass that the graves of the South ern dead should be neglected by their kin died, kind nature herself will take their place, aud the Southern earth in which the dead sleep will yield its lilies and its daisies to wreathe their places of rest, ai.dthe soft winds of the South will gently wave the grass about them, and the dews of her starry nights will keep grass and flower fresh in memory of her brave children who died hi defense of the soil which now contains them. Why, sir, can it be that a mind can be so darkened by prejudice and patty spirit as to forget the very echoes of human nature itself ? It these people did not weep over their loved and their lost, they would do something more or less than hunian ; much more likely less than more. Such a speech and such sentiments sound to n.e like the report of some Russian commander w riting from Warsaw to the Czar, follow til by an order forbidding the women of Roland to var nioumin, for their ueaa. is ii tne flmo- . the. l:in-ruare ot au American Senator directed toward those who are his fellow-citizens, and who it is the hope of the country w -ill be a source of happiness and strengh to our Union ? Certainly men cannot bo won back from error by such sentiments as these and by no such condem nation. They never can be made friends by such processes. Mr. President, let me relate an incident and a different feeling, from which more is to be hoped and which 1 believe contains the true germ from which a feeling of union will siirintr un anain that will bind our States forever m the lionets 01 a common .

He opened it and found inclosed a check for S 1 ,(Mh' ami a few lines from the writer staring that ho bad seen the letter referred to, and. desired, as ;v Northern man, to aid a fellow citizeu in a distant Siati struggling in buch bitt.-r adiersity. The writer's name was totaily unknown to him. and he thought it must ie a mistake or a cruel hoax. lie sub mitted the. check to a banker, w ho at once informed him it was -ood for its full amount. I lie, However, considering there must lS I some, mistake, w rote to liostoii. stating the j arrival ot tlie letter with the. check, but his , fear that his motive in writing which drew ! forth the remittance had beeu inisuuder ! stood ; Ihat he might have been supjiosed to I i: what, was know n as a "Union man" in j the Souther ii acceptation of that term, or a repentant rebel disposed to gain favor with j the stiecett'ul parly by condemning his owu past course. Hn told him that he was ' neither: that he had been an oriirinal ami conscientious believer in the right and duty of secession iu lsiil, and li:u no regrets, ex cept for his failure ; but thrft he accepted his fate aud was ready to keep faith with the government w hich hal conquered. A reply from Rostmi to this letter assured him that the writer had earnestly advocat- e.l the prosecution ot tlie war, and during the war would have held him an enemv but that peace had come and he now sought to make hiin a friend, and took this as The natural mode of doing it, and ln-gg.-d him to keep and use the money. I need not say how much the heart of this Southerner was touched, but he was a man of honor, and though sorely pressed for money, felt in looking over tho entire Held of his affairs that even with the S 1,000 he was greatly in debt, and iu fact insolvent. He felt it was his duty, as it w as his right, to avail himself of the bankrupt law ot the United States and start airesh, after giving up all he jw.j-sesscd, .which consisted chietiv of the iarui ami homestead which sheltered his family. He therefore wrote again to the good man in lioston, telling him these fa-ts. and declining his proffered loan under the ciicumstaiues. Tlie mail soon brou-ht -i request to know the precise condition of hi, all-airs. He made it out in exact detail and Ins statement disclosed debts several thous and dollars in excess of his assets In prompt return of mail A "letter reached him with a check for the amount of his needs in full.
