Morrison, who toM mc the story nst slimmer, ns we were sitting th senside, shall repeat It to yon in his own wordR. I hnd nsketl him whether he hatl rver eiictiiintereil n mutiny in his expe rience as captain of a, whaler. Ie said " No." Then, after a Jiine. he added, ' Ves. come to think of it, I did have a little trouble once, up In the Arctic. We were just above llehrinff's Straits. The sit i p w.'is lylnjr tit 'anchor. There was a l.i.U field o' ice a little north of us. ami preat piece of ice begm to break off, and rome rrashiux down on ns. If I'd hnd the shin heailetl tfivards the floating ice, thee pieces wnuli 'ft need o(T the prow, nml done no damap; ', lnt as it was, they came down so hard amidships that no ship rould "it stoisl it lonsr. I aaw thnt wo intist k"' out o that at once, and as we were pretty full of oil, anyway, I decided to henre anchor, anil return to San Fran cisco riirlit o!T. So I ordered the mat to no forward and tell the men to pet ont the lxint nnd take up the anchors.. In at unit n minute lie came hack, lcxiklntr pretty flustered, nnd sars he, The men refuse low.' 'What's that?' says 1. briutzin'' my foot down hnrd on the deck. The men refuse to oliey orders. fays he. " Then I went forwartl myself. What floos this ineitii ?' said I. "The nun incers were led hy a burly I'iiu' 'iiiimii. who had been sort o' sullen for sc cr.nl i!s.ys. They had nil ii me be low, leaviiis t icir pos'.s. They had taken ail tlie provisions with thetn, anil it was plain they were ready for a Ion.; fllii. In answer to my rjucstitin. the big Knt?-li.-!inan s'ejiped to the foot of the hatch way, and iieiran a parley. We haint irot not hin' acn nst vou.' says he. Thinks I, ' I guess it don't make any li(Tercnee whether you have or not, pot to come up.' 'If yoa that anchor's will laud us at the Sandwich islands,' continued he, in stead o' San Francisco, we'll go right to work.' ' I II pive yon just ten minutes to Ktnrt for that anchor," said I. and turning on my heel, I walked back aft. I knew they meant light, so says I to the steward, who had remained faithful, Co down to the cabin, nuil fetch me about two pounds o' powder, a half pound o' tliein bi nulls, half a pound o brimstone, and all the red pepper we can spare from the cooking.' "lie was ione about a minute. I took the powtbr and pepper and brimstone. rioJi;r;i.;,.,L fth a little water, am pen eui.samea you've seen Imys wet a fire-crm ker, so's 't won't crack, but kind o' si-sle. Then I made it up into two balls, sharpened at cue end like a pine-apple cheese. I jrava one to the mate, and taking some matches, I walked witn t'other buck to the hatch way. I'd ou.fht to 'a. said that I buckled on a belt with a couple o pistols in it. and slipped on a pair o' brass knuckles. "Well. said I, ' ure you ready to come tip now and gvt out them boats "They wasn't no an .er to this but a loud laiif.'h o' scorn, and a volley o swear words. Tiieu an old dirty broom, soaked Willi the uasty swccplngi of the hold come llyinijr np the hatchway, and took me rixbt on my clean shirt bosom ; ami I always was rather particular about my personal nppearauce. Saya I to llio mate. 'Nad her down.' In an instant he had the well, what you'd cull tho trap-door, nailed down on llm mntiiieers, and for a minute or two ho kept a putting ten-r-euny nails into It as fast as he could drive. The men only jeered at this, say lun, 'Nail away, you old down-east land lubber. We kin stand it. We've eot the perviaions.' I'd noticed, as I had come aft the first time, that they was just putting a fresh hod o' coal on the fire tit was pretty cold weather up there), and now I was standing ne;ht by the stove-pipe tbat come up through the fleck. With a bid den kick I sent that stovepipe flying down amongst 'em, and while they were consid ering the taste o' coul gns. I lit one ' those powder an'-pepper-pills I told you of. and Clint ked it right down through the pipe hole. I had told the steward to stand by with the other, and as soon as mine had got out o' my hand, be had his a-siz.ling, ami chucked it in for company. Well, sir, sneezing! I.ordy Massy I Von never heard such a wheezing and snorting in your life. They couldn't no living mau stand it a minute. In less'n ten seconds, that hutch came flying up, natls and all. Desperation don't care anything about ten-penny nails. The KnglUhman wasn't long coming rip after the hatch. The devil was a-looking right ont o'liis eyes. There wasn't room for only one to a time, and I was ready for him. I stood at the hatchway, and the minute his head showed above the deck. I let him have the full benefit o' the brass knuckles between his eyes. You've seen a butcher strike critter : well, that's the way that fellow dropped. I reckoned I'd killed him. I leaned over the hatchway, and ay I, ad dressing the meanest man of "em, says I Williams, you rutne up. If two of yon come, you're both dead men.' There wasn't much hesitation. Up he come, a wheeziug anil a-sneezing. 'I'ut your bands out,' says I, as he got even with the deck. put 'em right out.' The mate clapped'the irons on his wrists, and I sent him forward to take his seat on a long boom that was lying along the deck. Then I called live more of 'em np the aame way, and set 'em along in a row on the Imom. "' Now,' said I, leaning over the hatch way, "the rest of yon come np on the run.' Up they come, without a second Invita tion. As they comet the fresh air, each one of "em took a long pnll at it, same's if It had been a whisky imttle. They hadn't tasted mything half so good on the voy age. I set 'em ail along on the boom, and there they set, gasping, and looking as foolish as a row o' wet chickens. I forgot tosny that we had been obliged to send do vnand have the big Knglishman hoisted tin by a rope. He couldn't a' got np alone. Then I laid aside my pistols, and placing tny hand quietly in the breast o' my coat, says I to the mate. 'Take the irons oft o' them men.' This surprised 'em, I can tell yon. But I wanted to how 'em that f wasn't afraid of 'em. The mate, he undid the irons, and as soon s all the men were free. I stepfied right tap close tc 'em, and looking 'em right in the eyes, aavs I, ' .Voir get into yonr boats, and take tip that anchor.' " " Did they do it " I asked. " Do it t'1 said the captain. " Well, air, you're seen a flock & sheep aro over a Wall. That's the way these fellows went over the Bide o' the ship. "' I never had a bit o' trouble with 'era after that, and I never knew what had set 'em up to disobeying me, till we got within a few miles o' San Francisco. That evening, the big Knglishman hap pened to be at the wheel. Aa 1 wslked by him, he kind o chuckled. ' What are you laughing at ?' said I. ' Well. ( 'aptain,' eaid he: ' if you won't be offended, I was thinkln- of that time up In the Arctic, when you bad us fellows down in the hold.' 'What about it ' said I. 'Weil. eaid he, " I've been to war. I was in the battle of Chickaroaugy,and in the battle o' Bullitun, but I never was in quit ao mean a place aa that hold, when you threw lAoi Vityuj down there. But, Captain,' said he, " yon never knowed why we made that row?' 'Certainly, I never did.' ' Well, sir, I'll tell you. Three of tis knew we was wanted for breakin' and enterin' by the police, yon know, and that just as soon as this ship got Into San Fran cisco we should be arrested. Tomorrow morning we shall be taken off, but shiver my timbers, sir, we'd rather be taken np a dor.en times titan run fonl o' you again.' " " Were they arrested V I asked. " Yes, said the captain, re-lighting his pipe. "The officers came abard next morning, and took all three of 'em and . I haint seen nothing of 'em since." WSAT BASEBALL COSTS, ntsh-talarled Players PlteTaera the Moat Costly ro n nl Fitting, Priv ileges, Kte. Of tho thousands who daily witness a baseball match, very few have any Idea of tho actual cost of maintaining a first class professional club during a season. Very few ever stop to inquire about the expenses or receipt of a club during the seven months in which the games are in progress, but, are apparently contented in paying their money to see tho high-salaried men play for their amusement. This is probably just a.s satisfactory, as man agers cs well as plnyers. are not over-anx" lous to give any approximate figures as to the los or gains of the speculation. When engaged to play ball for the sea son each player is compelled to sign a con tract, in which tha amount be Is to re ceive, how it Is to Ire paid and other Im pel lnt points, are clearly stipul-.ted. The contents of these documents are known only to the parties interested un less it is desired to make the agreement known. The lowest estimated cost of running a first class baseball club is, as nearly as ran be estimated, about fc 'i.OdO a year. The salary list of tue clubs vary some what, but a representative nine, such as tlie team of New York, Providence. Bos ton or Chicago, averagu lx-tween f'i.Oi ) and $40,000 annually. The average salary aid to individual players is between $I..Vrj and $.'1,500. Some of the men. how ever, receive more than this. In addition to this extraordinary salary list, the ex penses of the players while they are trav eling Is fully covered by the club, as the men are only taxed fifty cents a day. This includes first -clas board nnd other hotel accommodations, as well as various expenses on the road. The expanses for travelling annually foot up to about fio. I'j0, and the number of miles covered by eacli .lu! is about 7. SOU. The nxt large item on tho expense list Is the renting of suitaiil- grounds. As many of the clubs have this year been compelled to find new quarters, the expense of fitting them up with grandstands and other requirements will somewhat increase the bills. Tho renting, however, of grounds amounts to about tlO.ontj a vear. In addition to thU the services of tne gatemen. nshers. ticket takers, and other attendants amount to &t.0uo. Advertising and various oth-r items will bring the total for the club fully up to $00,000, the amount stated, if not more. Kach player in thelngne is compelled to furnish his own uniform, as well as the bats he plays witn. In the American Association, however, the club furnishes the uniforms. The first vearortwo aclub seldom more than pays Its expenses. To start a new club require additional ex pense. Theexpcnse of securing the release of a good player from the club he previ ously played with must le taken into con sideration and a higher salary must lie offered to induce him to make the change. When the release is secured, advance money is pnld in order to prevent his sign ing with another club. The advance of money Is often a mere speculation, as the players subseauently prove iiusnt isfactory ami the club is so much out. Thousands of dollars are paid ont through the ad vance system every year. When a good nine becomes a drawing card it pays well, but not before that. The salaries of the best paid men run abont as follows : First and third base men average from J.ouo to 3.0OO : second base men, f .'.oit; shortstop, tS.OCO; outfielder. fri'Ui 11,500 to S.isou according to their ability at fielding and balling. A good catcher rarely receives less than f'J.ooo ami often as much as 5,000. The pitchers are the mot expensive plavers in a club. The position is the most liifllcult to fill and the game depends largely upon the power of his delivery. Haabourn. the champion pitcher of the Tagne last year. Is content ed to remain with his own nine at O.ViO. McCormick and bw, who was recently reinstated, are being paid fc.-'iOO each for this yenr's work, in addition to the pay ment of the flue that was Inflicted by the League managers. Sweeney will cost Manager T,ucns even more than this sum. O fourke was in duced to leave Buffalo and join the New Yorks, by an offer of fo.OOO, but be won t get over $4,500. Kwlng and Ward, of the New Yorks. receive abont 1.600. Mnllane, tif Cincinnati, has cost that nine 5,0OO. ilecker, Louisville's great pitcher, and the champion of the American Associa tion, Is demanding from $3,500 to $4,000 for the season's work. Calvin gets 55,OuO from the BufTalos, whose salary liat is not far from $13,ooo. In all of the principal clubs there are plavers whose salaries run from $'J,500 to $3,500 a year. Where the money comes from is appar ently .a great mystery. The league clubs usually make money. The I ieague charges fifty cents admission to their games. In the league the home club is compelled to pay the visiting nine thirty and one third per cent, of the entire gate receipts of very game. The visiting club only al lows nine persons to pass in frceof charge, and all above that number have to be ac counted for by the home managers. In addition to the admission fee abont one half of the patrons pay an extra quarter for a seat in the grand stand. This the visitors have nothing whatever to do with. When it is stated that In the larger citiea the interesting games between the strong clubs draw from I..'in to 1 0,ooo persons, the mystery will be somewhat solted. Then, the various privileges that are let out on the grounds amount to considerable. For instance, the bar nnd refreshment coun ters turn in from $.s,u to at.ooo a year; while tl:e contract for selling score cards is not as small as might be supposed, nnd the grwmd, if it is a good one. is seldom nnnsed. When baseball is not being played upon it, other clubs engage it for athletic and all sorts of sports. Dnring n season fifty-six chanpionship games nre ?layed on the home grounds. These are nterspersed with exhibition games. A Tvotable Male. The sale of the water-colors and draw ings left by Gustavo Do re, took place in Pari not long ago. The prices reached were by no means high. The illustration of Iynlon life fetched sums ranging from 170f. to iWOt. Two large drawings of Ep mm races and a water-color drawing of a Whitechapel beggar girl attained the last named flgnre ' The sketches of incidents of the siege of Paris were more eagerly bid for than the london subjects, but the best prices were obtained for the views of Swiss and Pyrenean scenery.

TIIK LATK VICTOR III GO was a genius nnd had a most extraordi nary career. Bom at Besancon, France, Feb. 28, 1W, he died May 22, 1SH5. Before he was seven years old he had seen Paris, Rome, Florence and Naples. He early developed a marked preference for litera ture. . At fourteen he had written a trag edy and two lyrical poems of merit. He left school when 18, and lived with his mother until her death. In lf-J he gave the world his first book. Soon after this he produced the play HernanL"' Ho was worth just fifty francs. He received 8,000 francs for the play the first night of its run. Of his later dramas" Hny Bias" received the most attention, ami had the greatest vitality. He did a great deal of literary work up to 142. when his fertility In this direction was checked by family bereavements and political activity. His public life was a stormy one, especially during the Commune, when he stood for liberty and was a bitter enemy of Prince Napoleon. From 1W1 to 'SI, Hugo wrote much, his most Important works being novel. A famous one, " I.es Miserable, " was published simultaneously la ten lan guages, and another, " The Trnvaillonrs de la Mer," contniu passages remarkable for descriptive powor and dramatic In tensity. Hugo was severely tried by do mestic troubles in the prime of manhood, and it seemed to develope a rare fondues for children, which centiuoed with an in creasing strength until death. This was wen illustrated by an episode In the cele bration of his Sfith birthday, when a depu tation of children called to congratulate him: also by the atlection lavished upon his grand-children. He left a fortune of 4,000,000 francs, and gave $10,000 to the poor of Paris. Of Hugo's genius and worth there are numerous estimates. In all department of literature he won tha highest honors; Indeed, he was the recog nized head of Franco in this respect. Ills w-as a grand and noble life, and all man kind should revere his memory. As poet, novelist, dramatist oliI polemic writer, Victor Hugo was foremift In his time.bnt his trne greatness finds root In the princi ple of freedom and courage. ASEX3 FHOM THE VESTAL FIBE1 Rome Itecant Discoveries at the Tem ple o f Vesta In Home. A highly interesting discovery lias Just lteeu made on the Forum by the cele brated German arcua-ologist. Prof. II Jordan, author of v Topographs der Stadt Rom im Alterthum," in connection with some excavations which he has obtained tho permission of the Ministry of Publio Instruction to make around the remains of the Temple of Vesta. Since tho discov ery, some 10 year ago. of this shapeless wreck of what was little else than tho more concrete core of the Podium, noth iug has leeu done to ascertain the exact line of the level on which it stood, or what. If any, remai ns of the external features of tho stonework existed below the actual level of the Forum there. The object of lrof. Jordan's excava tions was to clear up theso obscurities, and especially to ascertain the exact peri meter of the temple, which would give also IU exact position with reference to the House or the Vestal. This he ha succeeded In doing ; but in the progress of the work he made the unexpected discov ery, just within the outline of the Podi um, of a rectangular hole, measuring one meter on each side and two meters in depth, and lined on the sides and at the bottom with large slabs of peperluo stone, oral SO centimeters in thickness. The bottom in perfectly closed, and the want of any aperture In it ahows that it could have had no communication with the ewers. Prof. Jordan 1 of opinion that this place is neither more nor les than the recepta cle for that refuse wLlch was allowed to accumulate duriog 12 months, anil then on the 15th of June, was carried through the Porta Stereoraria, and according to Ovid, (" Fasti," book 6, line 700, thrown into the Tiber. If Jordan's opinion be cor rect this refuse, therefore, notwithstand ing the foul name given to it, (see " Var ro," line 632, must have been simply the ashes of the sacred fire kept ever burning in the Temple, which were themselves considered aa too sacred to be thrown out daily on to a common dust heap. And with them may also have been the sweep ings of th Temple, which probably were held in no less reverence than those of th Holy House of lxreto are in our own days. To bear the definition which Jordan ha Just given of his discoveries around the Temple of Vesta, illustrated by plans and sections, all the Cerman, Italian, and French archaeological notabilities in Rome, including Mommsen, (Jregorovius, the two De Rossis, Fiorelli, Gaston Boissier, Leblant, Director of the French Archu o logical Institute at Rome; the learned Countess I-ovatelli. Prince Odescalchi, Baron Von Keudell. the German Ambas sador, and, of course, the learned Secre taries Henzeu and Helbig, assembled at the German Archa-ological institute, and not one diasentlent voice wa raised in op position to Jordan' opinion, either there or afterward at the scene of the excava tion, to examine which we followed him on to the Forum.

Melt all to gether in a kettle, over a moderate fire, and when well mixed pnr into a vessel of cold water to harden. When stiff enough to handle, grease the hands and then pull and work the wax until It is white, or amber colored, and of even quality throughout.

Several years ago. when Judge S then of the Superior court, waa holding his court at Forsyth. Monroe county. C's.. two brothers, residents of Gwii,.:oi.f. conntv, were brought before him charg-d with horse-stealing. The caxe against the men was plain in. dead. The old man from whom the horee waa stolen and his wife and daughter were introduced, and each in turn on the stand swore strong and strikingly alike as to the theft, the identity of the horse and both men. Absolutely nothing in rebuttal could be produced by the counsel for the defense, except the testimony- of a woman, the young wife of one of the prisoners, and the daughter of the old man from whom the horse was stlen. Her story, as told by the attorney, was ao strange and un reasonable that he begged uho would not go to the stand with it, fearing its effect upon both Judge and jury. To tho pleading of the lawyer she turned a deaf ear, and rising without being bid, said aloud: "My innocent husband's lllierty is at stake. I must, I will speak for him." Judge S , who np to this time had not noticed the woman, now owing to tho manner of speech and seemingly intense sympathy and lovo for her husband, called her to the stand, ruling that "she could testify in behairof her husband's brother, and make a statement for the husband." The bible waa handed her, and she kissed It with a smack that might have been heard a block away. Then tremblingly removing from her head its old shaker coveriug, and very carefully unwinding a mnch-worn and tattered Gwinnett veil shawl which she held in her arms, she ex posed to the view of a greatly surprised audience a two-months'-old baby boy, who was hid away somewhere in the folds of that huge shawl. Tho unwinding process eomplotcfl, iie hnrriedly deposited both baby and covering In a heap on tbe table In front of hoc, and with a decree of determi nation in her face expressed only tu the lines of Shaketapore, " I shall wheu Ciwsar says do this, it is perforrmd,'' she fronted the Jury. Said she; I )ntre sworn to tell the truth. I UBdapstatnd fully the enormity and incannean of a lie, I am a God fearing woman, and J fcalifrre every word la that good book there m the table, and if what I tell yon innr -amtxmt this cams be not true may God tn fci wrath this moment strike me dumb re I utter another word, and make me suffer tha most vlolont doath that could befall a human! May I torn from this "stand' when I have finished and look upon that baby mine, my only one, whom I love next to my husband, bettor than my life, and find It cold in death I "Two years ago my father, who sits over there and now accuses my huslinnd of stealing his horse, sent to Gwinnett county for me, insisting that I should come and nurse him through an attack of rheumatism. He and my mother had al ways leen very hard with Tom itny hus band) and I. but Tom now persuaded me to go, saying it was my father who was Bick, and it was my duty to go to him. I went and remained two months or more, until he recovered. While at my father' tho glanders got among the stock in the neighborhood, and after awhile a colt lie longing to mv father caught the disease. A consultation of the familv was held, and It was tlually decided to kill the colt, hoping thereby to prevent the remainder of the horse on the farm from catching IX. I pleaded for the colt's life, and told my fhther to put it by itself, away from the other horses, and I would feed atuji try to cur It. He did as I askod and I nursed the colt back to health. When I was leaving home, going back to my hus band, my father told me, in presence of both my mother and sister, ns I hnd saved thecolt' life he would give it to me ami wonld keep it for me. as he had good pas tnrnge, until it grew large enough to work. Here the matter rested, and I thought no more of it until two weeks ago. when I received a letter from my fathor, stating thnt the cold was ready to work, but my mother and sister were'nn willing for mo to have It, He said he thought It best for me to send mv hus band and his brother after the colt, telling tlietn to take It from the pasture and not to let my mother aud sister know abont It. " Owing to onr extreme poverty and need of a horse. Tom decided to do as my father bid. and last Thursday night a week ago he and his brother reached onr home in Gwinnett with the colt now grown to be a horse, the same that I nursed through the ' glanders' at my fa ther' two years ago. the name that my father then gave me In presence of my toother and sisters, now there bv his side, and the same, judge, that my father now aavs mv hufbnnd stole from him. ''This is all tbore is of it," she said, and dropping her head, which, through the recital of her story, had been as erect as the "' proudest steed of the prairie." she slowly left the stand. "The letter." of course, was asked for, but could not be produced. The woman said she had lost The jury wore ont only a few mo ments, returning a verdict of guilty, and the men were sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. A the last words of the sentence were uttered by the judge the wife sprang to her feet, and facing her father ana young sister, from her lips fell psuch a curse as filled with horror all who heard it. Turning next to her husband, she gave him a long, last embrace, ana held up the babv for him to kiss. Then to the judge she said ; ' I will Ami the letter, air, and bring it to you." and with a heart- broken look but firm step she passed throngh the crowd to the street. The prisoners were sent off next day to begin their servitude, and soon the scene In the court-room, the sad face of the wife, the baby, red shawl and all were forgot ten. Several wee later a woman entered the judge's office in Forsyth, her face flushed with excltemene and beaming with joy. It wa the wife of the man tfonvictod of horse-stetvling. She had found "the letter," and had walked with her baby in her arm all the long way from Gwinnett to Monroe to bring it to the judge. Judge S .after closely ex amining th document, w as satisfied it was genuine, and took Immediate teTs to secure more evidence in the matter. This wa easily aocomplrshed. and the father of the woman, on being confronted with th evidence procured by the Judge, Anally ad mitted that he hnd written the Tetter. The next tain to Atnlnnta brought Judge S- with it, and no time was lot in sub mitting the matter to the governor, who instantly issued a pardon for the two men. Only a few short years have passed since this occurrence, but time enough has intervened for th wife's prayers to le Tiwrred : time enough for the persons who swore awny her husband's good nnme and liberty to have reaped an over whelming cup of misery, degradation, and shame.
