THE GIIOj MUTINEER. A STORY OF I.OVE AND WAR. Toward the close of an October day in 17T7, a vessel sailing in a southwesterly di rection crossed the 57th degree of north longitude. Her keel plowed the waves of the North Atlantic, and lier destination seemed to bo the Azores. She was nailing befove a strong wind and the arrangement of her sail indicated (light. If Might, from whom ? The naked eye could perceive no pursuer on the bosom of the ocean ; but the sea glasses, leveled by a number of Riitisli officers who graced the clean decks, reveal ed a dark speck ou the watery rim of the Northern horizon. This distant object occasioned much anx iety among the officers. A silence which had reigned among them for many moments was suddenly broken by a man whose bear ing might have proclaimed him an English admiral. "lie still follows," were the words that fell from his lips ; "but with the help of Neptune we'll outsail him in the night." Though the officer spoke with much as surance, there lurked in his tongue a latent fear which his companions detected, and exchanged significant glances. Over the face of the deep night was set ting, and the vessel kept straight before the wind to the joy of its commander who bad lately spoken. The shadows gradually veiled the far away pursuer from sight, and when the officers separated, expressions of triumph were on their lips. The liritish vessel was the Meteor, a fast sailor, whose armament consisted of twenty eight guns. She was a well built double decker, and had seen much service iu the war which had raged almost three years between Great 1'ritain and her American colonies. Her speed and her formidable armament had made her a terror to Amer ican vessels in European waters. Her commander, a sea-born Englishman, named Guilderoy, was an officer of undoubted courage and cunning, to which he added a vindicitiveness that rendered him obnox ious to many of his own crew. The Meteor was flying from a new and very formidable foe Hying with ahold fill ed with booty. On the day piececding that one that had just closed upon her in flight she had just captured an American cruiser, after a spiiited contest. The prize had proved one of value, and Captain Guilderoy did not wish to risk an engage ment with the vessel following iu his wake. Captain Cunyngham, the pursuer, was a second Paul Jones, lie was one of the most daring spirits of onr.then infant navy and his name had become a terror along the coast of England. He pursued and captured a number of British ships, which he either burnt or sent into friendly ports; and when he pesctied the Meteor, fresh from her victory lie hesitated not to crowd on all sail and give chase. There were men on the decks of the Re venge, as Conyngham's vessel was appro priately named, who watched the Hying Englishmen. Much speculation concern ing the result of the chase ran through the several groups and Conyngham smiled when he turned to reply to the words of a youthful Lieutenant who stood beside him, sea glass in band. We can outsail her, Gilbert," the American captain said with emphasis. This wind favors both of us alike, and iu the calm that will soou prevail, she must lie by till day." The yonng officer turned from the cap tain, and again bis eyes were strained to make out the form of the ship rapidly dis appearing among the prevailing shadows. Conyngham did not return to his glass, but watched the face of bis youthful com panion. I am confident that Miss Temple is aboard the Englishman," ho said at last. Of course she is 1" exclaimed the Lieu tenant with a flush. ,4I know she was on board the Mischief when it fell into the Meteor's bauds, aud I am satisfied she is a prisoner." The fa "lvst prize old Guilderoy has cap tured in many a long day !' remarked Con yngham, with a laugh at the Lieutenant s smile, and the flash that lighted up the depths of his anxious eyes. The conversation was interrupted by an unexpected veering of the wind that paled the cheeks of the numerous watchers on the deck, and the officers separated. Now, having learned something of the Meteor's pursuer, let us return to the En glish vessel. ..... The calm prophesied by the American captain fell uion the ocean shortly after the descent of darkness. It worried Gutl deroy, and he held frequent consultations with the officers, now ou deck, now in bis state room. He held consultations in the latter place over a bottle of choice wine, and under the liquor's influence h soundly cursed the Yankee privateer. Becalmed on the water and beneath the stars, the Meteor lay like a huge slumber ing leviathan. Her lights were hidden, and the spectral figures that trod her decks couversed iu whispers. In a small apartment, not far remote from the council cabin, stood a beautiful young girl. There was a look of sorrow in her dark eyes, and her face was quite pale. She appeared lo lie listening, for her head was bent toward Guilderoy's room, from which direction came a faiut aud confused murmur of voices. "I know that we are becalmed," she said to herself in an audible tone, and I know, too, that the officers are worried about it. The men know that many of them hate Guilderoy. Dind't I hear the helmsman spy last night that they would refuse to fight for the man who rules tbehi with a rod of iron, and when he had spoken thus, didn't be remark to a fellow tar that the prisoners did not know their Strength? Yes, he did ! The men think of mutiny, and the man at the wheel is now ready to rise against the captain of this ship. They want a leader ; they gnaw in silence the chain of tyranny, -with which their captain has bound them. I will spring the mine ! I will lead the Meteor's mutineers, aud the Revenge may have our prize." Adaliue Temple spoke with stern de termination and clenched her hands. The observer would have laughed to think that she had decided lo head a body of mutineers that she, a fragil girl of nine teen, had resolved to rob the English navy of one of its best vessels or to perish in the attempt ! She left the room with a resolve well formed, aud steadfast in her determination. Like a spectre she glided down the darken ed corridors of Ihe vessel, and, at last, climbing upward with care, reached the deck. Captain Guilderoy and his lieutenants were below discussing the situation over several bottles of wine. Adaline saw the stars overhead, and turn ed her face to the various points of the compass without greeting a breeze that would have pleased the British captain. The man at the wheel having nothing to do seemed to have fallen asleep, for he started when Adeline's hand fell upon his shoulder, and his hand made a rapid move ment towaid his belt wheu he saw her figure. "I waut to talk with you," she said, in a low tone, making no display of the knife whose hilt she clutched a knife like the helmsman's. 'l want to say a few words, and are you going to listen? I heard you use mutinous language last night, and I could have you hung at the yard by sjicak ing to the tyrant Guilderoy." He was her man ! "You at e harboring schemes of mutiny at this very moment," she continued, after a brief pause, "and you are not alone iu the diabolic wotk. I will tell the captain be fore an hour, if " Adaliue paused a moment, and heard the beating of I be sailor's heart. He stared into her face like a man sud denly frightened by a ghost, and she finish ed ber seutence.wilh lips almost touching his ear. "If you do not obey me !" Then the helmsman's lips parted, "For the love of heaven do not throw us poor devils at the feet of Guilderoy," stam mered the sailor. "He would hang every one of us before morning. Do you want us to mutiny to-night ? Our time has not yet come. There be but nineteen of us now " "But the prisoners sixty-two strong men, and brave !" "They are Americans !" "Nevertheless, they will not hesitate to rescue gallant English snilois from the ty ranny of the captain of tins ship. To night! If you say no I will drive this knife to your heait, and have your com rades bung at the yard before a day." Then the helmsman saw the knife whose blade flashed very near his breast, and the next moment he stood on the deck. "We'll do it I" he said. "But Chester is wouuded hurt yesterday by a ball from your ship. Chester was to have led us." "I will take his placet" said Adaline. "Now let us strike !" Captain Guilderoy, unsuspicious of the mutinous spirit on his ship, had placed watches who bad belonged to the Chester party. Adaline soon discovered this, and at length seven determined sailors, armed with knives aud pistols, prepared for the fray. She stationed two of the strongest at the door of the council room, while as many more guatded the hatches. Then the pris oners were called forth, one by one, until sixty-two strong-limbed Y'ankee sailors stood on deck, ready to do their duty. There was a tumult among the captain's party when the mutiny was discovered, and the officers were apprised of the state of affairs by the discharge of several pistols in the hold. "Mutiny !" cried Guilderoy, springing from the table ; aud the next moment, hav ing opened the door, he found himself flung to the floor by one of the mutineers who guarded the portal. Another liritish officer was knocked down, when several prisoners made their appearance, and the inmates of the cabin were secured. It was one of the most startling and suc cessful mutinies in the annals of the British navy ; but the most thrilling part was yet to come. "Now three cheers for the English sail ors I" cried a stalwart mutineer who bad ably seconded the patriot girl. Three cheers were given with a will. They swept far iuto the night and startled the tenants of another vessel's deck. "No more such cheers?" suddenly cried Adaline Temple in a tone of command. "The Meteor is to bear the flag of Ameri can Congress at ber mizzeu peak. The British mutineers will lay down their arms. Yankee sailors will prepare to shoot those who refuse to obey." A moment's silence was followed by cur ses, and the nineteen mutineers looked into the faces of the men whom they had armed wilh English pistols and cutlasses. Obedience alone would preserve their lives, and in a few moments the British mutineers wore prisoners like their more faithful comrades, aud the good ship Me teor, was in Y'ankee hands I Before dawn rockets revealed the Me teor's positiou to her pursuer, and the as tonished Conyngham soou stood ou ber bloodless decks 1 Then the young Americau lieutenant en countered the heroine of the hour the girl on whose linger he bad already placed a shining ring. I knew that you were near in me iic venge," she said to him, "aud I thought I would present you with the Meteor. Why, Gilbert, if I bad not led the mutineers, I might have run away from you, as I did yesterday !" Gilbert Farley assumed command of the valuable prizp, and in many of his cruises he was accompanied by the gallant gitl whose fame was sung on the docks of every vessel in our little navy. After the war well, the reader can guess what happened "after the war." A DOG tr ITU OUT JL TAIL. A gnntlemari of this city, says the St. Lohis Globe Democrat, whose wife is the owner of a nice little pet dog, relates the following ''singular circumstance" and vouches for its truih : On a pleasant afternoon last Spring Mr. Smith took a walk with his wife, and Fanny, the little dog we'll call her a dog, for short accompanied them, running be fore, aud appearing unusually lively and frisky. After walking several blocks they met a lady ncqua!htaiioe, Mrs. Jones, who also had a little dog, Tommy, trotting by her side. There was one peculiarity about Tommy that excited the admiration of Mrs. Smith, and that was the fact that the little fellow had no tail ; there was a very short stub just visible at the place where dog's tailfl are wont to grow, but no one would pretend to pas it off as a tail. "O dear me!" exclaimed Mrs. Smith, "what a beautiful little dog? So cute, so playful! And see, hubby, he has no tail not a sign of a tail ! How I wish I had a little dog without a tail! I would give anything in the world if my Fanny had no tail ! How did you cut it off, Mrs. Jones?" "Why, it wasn't cut off at all; it just growed that way." "I do declare ! is it possible? I never heard of such a thiug I 1 wish Fanny had been that sort of a dqg. I do love dogs that's got no tails." While the friends were discussing the interesting topic of dogs' tails, Tommy and Fanny were scraping an acquaintance, and iu a moment or two were on the best of terms. They put their noses together, squattered and romped and ran around, aud put Iheir paws upon each other's necks, as dogs will do when they scampered around the corner, and for a few minutes were lost to sight. After a while the Smiths parted from the Jones and resumed their walk. Mrs. Smith could thiuk of nothing but tailless dogs. "How would it do to have Fannj-'s tail cut oil ?" she inquired of her husband. "It wouldu't do at all ; she's too old ; it might kill her; beside, it would be a very cruel thing. If it had been .cut off when she was a pup, she never would have missed it ; but now, when she's old enough to be a grandmother, the loss of her tail would be irreparable." "That's too bad. But, I know what I'll do. If Fanny should ever become a moth er, 111 take one of the pupies and cut its tail off with the carving-knife ; that's what I'lldo." "A good idea," replied Mr. Smith, and the subject was dropped. Now comes the wonderful part of the story. Several weeks after the occurrence related above, Fanny became the proud and happy mother of four blind puppies, and among them was one without the shadow of a tail ! Mrs. Smilh was delighted. She was at last the owner of a tailless dog. "Isn't it strange, though," she said to her husband, "lhat I should have my dearest wished gratified, and without the trouble of using the carving knife ? The dear little thing, too, is spared the cruel pain of a surgical operation. How nice !" "Yes," replied Mr. Smith, "it looks like a dispensation of Providence, or a contri vance of old Bergh or Bod Macdonald to gratify your wish, aud at the same time prevent an act of cruelty to animals. "Just look at the funny little fellow 1 It looks so much like Mrs. Jones' Tommy." "Yes," responded Smith dryly. "I shouldn't wonder if its mother was think ing about Tommy before it was bora." A SICK WIFE RESTORED. A MIRAGCI.OCS CVRE WITHOUT THE USE OF ril.1.9 OR rOTIONS. An almost miraculous cure is reported from Sheldon street, the patient being the wife of a well to do citizen She has for years been failing, or thinking she wns ail j ing, aud recently took to her death-bed . and kept her husband unhappy by lament ing mat, sue was going 10 ate. lesieruay ber husBand went out and got a buxom youug widow, who is her particular abhor rence, to come in and look over the house. The dying women heard him opening doors and explaining things, and lay rack ed with indignation and curiosity. Pres ently the buxom young widow departed, and the husband returned to the sick room. No sooner bad he entered than she accost ed him. "Peter Witchead Ilollingsworth, what have yon been doing?" "Nothing my love, nothing. Don't ex cite yourself. Becalm. Only as you were complaining that you couldn't get tip and see after things, and that the house was going to wreck and ruin, I thought I would ask Mrs. Dasher in to let mo know what could be done to save you trouble and relieve your mind of anxiety." "Oh, did you ?" she murmured with a deep inspiration. "Yes, and I showed her til over the house." "Aud the beds not made, and everything like a pig sty I 'Nevermind, my love. I told her that she must excuse it, as you were sick, be cause you were a very good housekeeper. And she said you must be." "Oh, she did." "Yes and she said that if she bad ber way, she'd have a new set of parlor furni ture in and less vulgar wall paper, but that some people had no taste any way and by the way, Maria, you and Mrs. Dasher are pretty much of a size, ain't you?" Then he fell into a trance that lasted for some minutes, then muttering, 'Well, per haps they'll fit ; if not, they can be made over," departed. When lhat husband went borne last night he was surprised to see his dying wife up and dressed and boosing things with a metallic ring in her voice and a glitter in her eye such as he hadn't seen for years, and when he innocently remark ed, "Why, Maria, I had hardly expected to see you up again !" she said : " I know it, you bald headed old reprobate, but I'll live to bury you yet, and if that painted Jezebel comes into this house again, I'll tear ber iuto cot tea waste and jute strings. " THE WOJS'.S EM til 1. 1 CE. Monsieur Chassaing, the celebrated French lion hunter, vv lule in Algeria, got two hots at a Hon, which IkmhkUmI away into the cover of evergreen oak, or ilexer., groaning at the same time as if much hurt, 'ihe next morn ing the Arabs were bidden to bring their hoiscs from tho encampment, whilo they set off to follow the Hacks .f the wjundvd beast. Tho Arabs assisted in the search, keeping however at a le spectab'9 distance, amid tufts of brom and diss, or tall grass. But wo must let our hunter relate bin eTperiente of a lion's embrace in his own words, as such PXieii ences are not of every day occurrence : "Suddenly a powerful roar came forth from the midst of one of these tufts "d I saw the lion rise up, and with the first bound he came within six yards where I stood. Flurried by the imminence of the danger, I tired without taking aim ; and I had barely time to press my linger on tho trigger before the enormous mass fell upon me crushiug me down. 1 was overthrow n, my head downward, the liou was over ne, aud bad my right arm letween his jaws. Obeying the instinct of preservation, I en deavored lo obtain possession of my pistols, with the left, but they had fallen out of the waistband when I was stiuck down. 1 was thus left helpless against my terrible adversary without any other means of de fense than my arms, one of which was paralyzed iu the animal's mouth. "The lion, however, let go my arm and songht to catch me by the bead ; the spring which ho took fiom behind lo ef fect this caused me to siip under him, but his tooth took my lower lip iu Ihe move ment, and cut is down to the chin, by a superhuman effort 1 seized the lion by the mane, over the tar, and slipping my thumb under its lower jaw, 1 managed to keep it at a distance; another movement made me slip further, so that he could no longer catch my head without changing his posi tion ; but he seized my arm a second time, and bit it severely. All this had taken much less time llian has been occupied in the description. Never having lost my senses, I then shouted out, "llete ! cap tain ! help !" But in vain. I saw no one. "My strength began lo fail tne in consn quence of the prolonged lesistance I had opposed to my adveisary, and the pain that his bites gave me. I was indeed, nearly sinking, when I iicrceivcd that the lion was less vigoious, and lhat ho ap I cared eveu as if about to let me go. This inspired me with new courage, and also gave the captain time to come to my help, aud to discharge his double-barreled title into the Hanks of the beast. Happily for nte the balls had no impetus, or they would have gone through me as well as the lion. It was alterwaid ascertained that these balls, not being conical, only peuetiated an inch or two, whereas my last, ball, hav ing struck it in the breast, and injured it both in the lungs and region of Ihe heart. "These two new wounds hence only in creased the fury of the beast, which, let ting go my arm, seized me by the shoul der, the only part that he could lay hold of; then rising upon his hind legs be bounded toward the bottom of 1 ho ravine carrying me with him. This was a horri ble moment, aud 1 Ihoughl I had reached my last. Ashe went along, my head stiuck against the trees, and my back dialed on the rocks ; nevertheless 1 shouted out : "Captain, take my guu ; it has slill oue banal loaded. "I do not know if ho heard me, but he did nothing. "It was in these frightful tortures that I arrived at the bottom of the ravine, al ways borne along by the lion, but also al ways holding by him with the left hand. This resistance irritated him so much that he made two desperate t fforts to vhake me off, and I felt my shoulder cracking in his formidable jaws." "Suddenly I saw him sink down and fall over ou his left side, his hindquarters press ing on my legs ; the lion was cxpiiing. It was nigh time. I let go his inane ; and clutching by a tuft of grass I raised my self up by a supreme ell'mt, stepping oer the prostrate beast, and climbling up to the point from whence lie had diagged me. There the pain in my arm became agoniz ing, and trying to move it, arm and lingers both obeyed my will. I saw with joy no bones were broken, only tho arm had been frightfully bitten." This terrible struggle, which lasted only from two to three minutes neatly cost the lion hunter his life. He was conveyed on horseback to bis tent-, and thence to Batna, in a vehicle sent on pnrjose, nnd acrnm panied by his wife in tears. The Arabs showed neither sympathy nor consult r at ion. At Batna he was admitted into the hospital, where for eight days the surgeons thought he would never get over his wounds, but tha'nks to a good constitution and exceeding care, he did so. In thiity days he took his first wa'k in the yard of the hospital, and so on tho thirty-sixth day he returned home convalescent. No GitTT. It was midnight. The young man had farewelled himself out, ami Erne line had locked the door ami was untying her shoes when her mother came down wth a bedquilt around her and said : "Wanted to cteep up stairs without my bearing you ? Didn't think I knew il was an hour after midnight did you?" The girl made no reply, aud the mother continued : "Did he proposo this time?" "Why mother !"' exclaimed the daugh ter. "You can, why molhcr !"' all you want to, but don't 1 know that be has Wen coming hero for a year? Don't I know that you've burned up at least four tons of coal courting around here ?"

"I guess yon havn'U I just wish that a feller with false teeth and a mole "ii bis chin wonld come sparking me. Do you know what would happen, Emeline ?" "No," "Well, I'll tell you. He'd come to time in sixty days or he'd get out of this man sion like a goat jumping for tluvver seeds?' Emeline went te bed to reflect over it. A negro being asked what be was in jail for, said he was Ivrrrowing money. "But," said the questioner, "they don't put nenple in jail tor borrowing money." "Yes," said the darkey, "but I bad to knock the man down fieo or fo' times be fore he would lend it lo me. a vvnioi s i j iM.ivr A M.V.S VUO CLAIMS To I'NilKUSl VN l HUK TALK.. The San Francisco Y.
