,1. s? THE ' PITTSBURG DISPATCH 'SATURDAY; FEBRUARY' 15. 1890. 10 v? a cloud was to be seen, and soon after dark gloriom moon rose out ol the sea. I sat . on deck smoking ray cigar, and enjoying the tranquility of the scene, while being fanned by the soft sea breeze. The crew consisted of Bartolo, bis cousin, the tall man called Beppo and a boy called GigL For Italians they were not a sociable lot I tried several times to get into conversa tion, bnt they seemed rather to avoid me, and continually -whispered to eacb other in a mysterious way. This somewhat dis quieted my mind, and I could not help re- flectinc th'at I had perhaps done a foolish thin? in trusting myself to their tender mercies. JSo one knew ot my expedition. I had paid them in advance, and they were sailing out of their course to please me. ' What wag to prevent them from murdering in e and throwing me overboard, and then continuing their regular journey without any one being the wiser? I am not nervous, nor do I believe in pre sentiments; but the longer I sat there the more would these lugubrious thoughts creep over me, until, feeling rather chilly, went down to inv cabin. It looked an awful place at night, and more like a vault than anything T could think of. I undid my bag and caueht sight of my revolver, which" I had forgotten until now. This somewhat reassured me, and I loaded it carefully. I then pulled out the life-preserver, and placing these two friend ly weapons by my side I lay down on my bunk without "undressing. Looking up I conld see the broad lateen sail through the hatchway, with the moon shining brightly on the white sheet. All was perfectly still, and I tancied that two of the crew must have gone down to sleep, leaving the third man at the wheel and the boy to look out. I tossed about, but could not sleep; the 1 more I thought it over, the more risky did jny position seem, for, as I said betore, no one knew where I was. I bad been lying down about an honr when I saw the shadow of two men reflected on the sail. I strained my eyes and ears. They were talking in low tones, but I caught the words "Donne, " then "Sara presto finite" What conld this mean, if it did not refer to me? They were evidently pre- - paring to murder me in my sleep, and mv worst fears were about to be confirmed. A cold sweat covered my brow, and I seized my revolver, determined to sell my life dearly. The shadows had now moved away. All was still. I stepped out of my bunk, and taking my h'e preserver in my right Land and the revolver in mv left, I sat in a crouching position to await events. Oh, the agony of those momentsl I could neither stand nor sit, and I dreaded that before long I should be seized with cramp; yet it was imperative that I should keep quite still, if I wished to take my assailants at a disadvantage. It was not very long before the shadows on the sail again reappeared, and this time I noticed that one of them was armed with a long kitchen knife. The thought of the cold steel made me shudder, and my heart stopped beating for a moment. I felt my revolver to assure myself that it was all right, and then saw that the hatchway was dark ened. I had no time for further thought. One of the men was coming down the steps into my cabin. I could see him distinctly, but I was in the dark, so he was unable to see me. I noticed a gleam of steel in his band, and the second man was following close be hind him. How was my time. I brought back my right arm lor a good cut at him with the life preserver, as soon as be should come within reach. A second later I had idled him with a fearfnl blow on the temple I rushed over his prostrate form and ' fired my revolver at the second figure, now retreating up the steps. He uttered a cry of pain and a oath, showing that I had hit him, but still be run on. I followed quietly, rushed up the hatchwav and again fired at him, just as he was picking up a crowbar. This time he fell on the deck, and I now saw the third man and the boy, thoroughly scared, making for the further hatchway. In a moment I made up my mind what to do. I followed them, and having jrith difficulty placed the heavy lid on the hatch, pro ceeded to cover it with everything I could lay hands on the deck. Luckily there was some pig iron lying about, and with these and various other articles on the top of them I was sure that they were safe pris oners. I now had to look to the other men to see that they were incapable of doing further mischief. The one I had shot on deck was Bartolo. Sly two bullets had taken effect, one in the lelt arm, and the other in the leg. I drew him to the side of the ship and lashed him there with some rope, and told him that if he attempted to get loose I should shoot him dead; then, looking into my cabin, I saw Antonio lying where he fell. I repeated my tactics of covering up the hatchway to prevent his getting out, and then went to the tiller, thoroughly exhausted after all I bad been through, both physically and mentally, bnt most thankful for my nar row escape. Soon, however, I saw that if bad got out of one danger it was only to fall into an other. I knew nothing of navigation, and was not even aware in which direction to steer. I might run the ship to ground, or a sudden squall might swamp her. I did not know how to shorten sail, and was afraid to interfere with the ropes. What could I do? The moon had now gone down, and it was pitch dark. There was no lamp or light of anv sort about the ship, as f.ir as I could see. With the help of a match I looked at my watch. It was 2 o'clock. I thought ot calling the man and boy out of the hold, and threatening to shoot them if they did not navigate the shin properly, but I myself felt so tired and exhausted that I did 'not dare trust them in case I should fall asleep. On the whole, it was best to leave myself in the bands of Providence. Oh the dreariness of these hours of dark ness and the joy with which I hailed the first streak of dawn I Every now and then Bartolo would give a curreand a groan, and that was the only sound to break the silence of the night. I had placed some water by his side and asked him if he wanted anything, but he only swore at me. I lelt him alone. At last the sun began to rise, and I scan ned the horizon for the welcome sight of .land or a lriendly sail. Alas, there was nothing to break the dull mass of water, and I was still miles away from rescue. The pangs of hunger were beginning to make themselves felt, and I had nothing to eat. -If this state of affairs continued much ' longer I should be obliged to call -up the -man and boy, and in my weak state I lelt I should be entirely at their mercy. I was beginning thoroughly to despair after so many honr of constant watching and straining of my eyes, when about 8 o'clock I saw a speck oa the horizon. My leart leaped with excitement as I instantly turned the helm in that direction. The eperk grew bigger and bigger, until at last I made out the form of a brig sailing toward me. Soon I could make out the flag the American stars and stripes, I tied my hand kerchief to a stick, and made signals of distress. For some time she took no notice, 'and seemed about to pass me. My heart sank. The thought that I was so near rescue, and yet could not attract attention, was awful. At last, to my joy, she hove to and lowered a boat. In a lew minutes it was alongside, and an officer and crew boarded the felucca. The sudden relief to my strained nerves was almost more than I could bear, and it was some seconds before I spoke. There was an expression of horror on the men's faces as they looked round on the scene of bloodshed, the wounded man, and then scanned my face for an explanation. Did they take me for a madman, or a com mon murderer? At last I found my voice. They crowded eagerly round me to "listen to my story, and when I bad finished all congratulated me on my narrow escape. The officer, who was the Captain of the ,brig, hospitably invited me on board bis ship. He was sailing to Marseilles, and .would gladly give me a passage. Needless to say I jumped at hit offer. We removed the covering from the hold And called on the men to come up, but could get no answer. The Captain was in a hurry to continue his course, and would not wait anr longer. Aj I m stepping into the boat, I asked him what we should do about the felucca and its crew. "Well, stranger," he answered, "you're well out of it, anyhow; and I guess we'll now let them alone, to go to the devil their own way, and the sooner they get there the better." I never heard anything more of them. I went straight back to England, and it was some months before I left horn again. Temple Bar. POETiKS OP THE CONGO. Marvelous Eidnraace of the Natives Bad be Waa-ea They Get. From an article under the above title in the February Century by one of Stanley's former officers the following is taken: On the Congo there are no beasts of bur den, there existing merely a manual trans port, the porters being the natives of the Bakongo tribe, inhabiting the cataract regions. In physique these men are slight and only poorly developed; bnt the fact ol their carrying on their head from 60 to 100 pounds' weight 20 miles a day for some times six consecutive days, their only tood being each day a little manioc root, an ear or two or maize, or a handful of peanuts, pronounces them at once as men of Angu larly sonud stamina. Small boys of 8 and 9 years old are frequently met carrying loads of 25 pounds' weight. Throughout the cataract region the gen eral accepted money currency la Manchester cotton cloth made up into pieces of six yards each. The European cost of the cloth paid to these natives for transporting a load to Stanley Fool from Matadi, including rations, amounts at the piesent day to $5 for a load of 65 ponnds. Five years ago the cost was only one-third of this amount; bnt it has increased on account of the opposition of the various trading houses that have established stations at Stanley Pool for the ivory trade on the upper river. AERAIM P0GD0G. His Tery Remarkable Behavior Daring the Sickness of u. Baby. My dog Is a pug, writes Mary H. Barford to the London Spectator. His is a very choice specimen of his kind, and was given to me by the late Dr. Wakley, editor of the Lancet, who was a great connoisseur in dogs. He is devotedly attached to my baby, and always accompanies me in my morning visit to the nursery. On one occasion the child (who is just as fond of him as he is of her) was very ill, and for three weeks was unconscious. As soon as this was the case, the dog ceased to go near the nursery as if by instincthe knew be would not be noticed. Mr. Walters, from Beading, was attend ing the baby, and the dog soon got to know the time he paid his visits. He would watch him upstairs, and when be came down listen most attentively to his report. At length the child was pronounced out of danger. The very next morning up went Master "Sam," made his way straight to the child's cot, and stood on his hind legs to be caressed. Although she had taken no notice of any one for some time, she seemed to know the dog, and tried to move her hand toward him to be licked. He quite understood the ac tion, licked the little band lovingly, and then trotted contentedly away After this he went up to see her regularly, as he had been accustomed to do. THE FEKKSILYAKIA SNAPPER. He Furnishes Nine Kinds of Tender, Juicy, Well-Flavored Bleat. New York San. 3 In Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, and, in fact, every town on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad from the Delaware to the Monongahela that is big enough to have a restaurant or a free lunch route, the snap ping turtle, or snapper, as this pugnacious fresh water chelonian is locally called, is a delicacy that is sure to draw a crowd when ever and wherever it is served. A peculiarity of the snapping turtle is that beneath its formidable shell are hid den nine different kinds of meat, and each one is tender, well flavored and juicy. The snapper does not provide steaks, like the green turtle, although it grows large enough. I have known one to weigh 40 pounds and more, but a turtle of that size has got to be one of great age, and his meat is strong and un savory. The snapper should weigh not more than Irom five to ten ponnds to provide the choicest morsels. With the exception, probably, of the snapper of the waters southwest of the Mississippi, with its three cornered head, knotty shell, and long, thick legs covered with spiny warts, the Penn sylvania snapper is probably the ugliest looking member of the chelonian family we have. THE MAERIAGK L0TTEET. Significance of the Pact That Eve Was Blade of Adnm's Rib. New York Scottish-American.! In choosing a partner for life, Midland people say, as a preventive against unhappy marriages, "Better wed over the mixen than over the moor," which is equivalent to say ing, marry one whom you have known for life. Ovid's advice is, "If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal," which our mother-tongue has pharaphrased thus "Tak a cat o your ain kind, and it'll no scart ye." One thing bear in mind. "A hairy man is a happy man, but a hairy wife is a witch. Briefly, you can not do better than listen to Fuller, "Choose the daughter of a good mother." But, whatever be your choice, always remember that woman was made out of a rib from the side of Adam not out of his bead to top him not out ot his feet to be trampled under him but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm "to be pro tected, and near his heart to be loved. And the ladies on their part will recollect that To change the name and not the letter. Is to change for the worse and not for the, better. GOOD TASTE AN ECONOMIST. Associated With Kindness It Elevates the Lowliest Lot. Xew York Scottish-American.! Good taste is a true economist. It may be practic al on small means, and sweeten the lot of labor as well as of ease. It is all the more enjoyed, indeed, when associated with industry and the performance of duty. Even the lot of poverty is elevated by taste. It exhibits itself in the economies of the household; it gives brightness and grace to the humblest dwelling; it produces refine ment, it engenders good will, and creates an atmosphere of cheerfulness. Thus good taste, associated with kindliness, sympathy and intelligence, may elevate and adorn even the lowliest lot. WHAT THE CEN8D3 WILL SHOW.

WHAT ABE I0UR IDEAS OF A LIBRARI? The Southside is to have a free library. It is now a surety. The generous Carnegie has so committed himself, and has made such an offer as part of his donation of $1,000,000 for free libraries in the city. The final action of Councils in accepting the offer will be merely a form, as opposition could hardly be advanced, and the city could not afford to do otherwise. The need of a library on the Southside, above all other sections of the city, has been uppermost in the minds of all for years, but for the past few months the constant work of the good citizens to place the South side Hospital on a solid basis and provide for its future has driven the question of a library out of notice. Further More, no prospect of the Southside obtain ing such a needed institution had been given until the news came so unexpectedly that Carnegie's benificence was not to ex tend wholly to the Old Citv, but to be so broad as to take in all sections. WELCOMED BY ALL. It can be said trulv that in no other sec tion of the city was the news received so gladly. It has been a subject of conversa tion ever since the first announcement. That a library will be appreciated on the South side is a question easily settled by a visit to the peopleot the different library associations in different sections who have shown their willingness for self-help and a desire to learn all that is possibly mirrored in printer's ink by gathering together a few books, rarely over 100 or 150. They have been struggling along as best they can, and now it is gratifying to them to "learn that soon their thirst for good reading can be as suaged. Mr. Carnegie expressed himself as desir ous as having the libraries so managed and containing such bookras will best serve the purpose of furnishing a fnnd for the intel lectual improvement and enjoyment of the people. In thns building and equipping a library many things are to be considered. The commission, already named, will com mence their labors soon after the final action of Councils. WHERE SHALL IT BE? Chief among the things to be considered is that of site. Where shall the Southside building be? Already Mr. Christian Bor ner, the well-known butcher of South Twenty-fonrtb street, has started the ball rolling. He thinks it should be on the bill at the head of South Twenty-eighth street and backs his conviction by an offer to con vey to the city a lot in that location 140x140 feet as a site for the library. Some think the location a good one and the site is surely an excellent one. Others think differently and say it is not near the center of popula tion. Where do you think it should be placed? This is one of the questions The Dispatch puts to the people of the South side. Send in yonr answers with reasons directed to the Southside office of The Dis patch and the answer will be printed in the special Saturday edition. Other questions also arise. What kind of books would be yonr advice? It is stated that the branch libraries are to have rooms for the meeting of scientific and other so cieties looking to the advancement in edu cation of the arts and sciences. What so cieties would be candidates for such favors on the Southside? What are your ideas of what a Southside library should be in gen eral? Everybody send in their answers, written on one side of the paper, and all will receive notice. THE BOX IK THE TRAIH. Sometimes It Isn't Brst to Tell Fairy Tales to Little Folks.

Ssw fork Ban.: "When I was in Chicago a few years ago," said the manager ot a large tourist excursion business yesterday, "an elderly lady cams into my office one day and asked me to pre pare a trip to tbe Continent for her husband and herself. I set to work on it the follow ing morning, and had just about finished the schedule whtn a man came rushing in, in troduced himself as the husband of my pre vious day's caller, and told me to stop my work. He said he did not want to go to Europe, and he wouldn't go, and he would be blessed if bis wife wss going either. "I threw the schedule' away with some mild objurgatory remark about female ways, and started in on something else. Half an hour later in came tbe lady and said that I was not to bother with what her husband said. She left a $100 guarantee with me ,to finish up the itintrary, and I went ahead. "When the starting day came around the husband walked in to see me, paid up like a little man, and went away with his tick ets, but be offered no explanation as to his change of mind. "In the lall of that year, over our cigars, tbe husband told me the story: "She didn't say a word to me on the sub ject, "said he, "after the day I called on von to countermand her orders, and I swelled with pride to think how easily I had knock ed the idea out of her head. On the Sunday morning before I called on you again we went to church as usual, and after the ser mon and just as I was preparing my mind for dinner, the pastor nearly stnnned me by announcing that my wife and I were to start for Europe in a few days, that we wished the prayers of the congregation. All eyes were turned on our pew at once, and everybody joined in the requested prayer. What could I do but look thankful? I bad a bad 16-minutes' walking home, and I didn't enjoy dinner a bit; but the funny side of the affair struck me in the after noon, and before lone I was congratulating my wife on her cleverness, and looking forward with interest to the journev my self." GOOD SPONGES COME HIGE Many People Cannot Tell a Turkey Cap From a Common Reefer. Good sponges have become so expensive that they are a luxury to be enjoyed only by those well-to-do. Of course you can buy a reef sponge cheap, a small one costing only a few cents, but if you want a Turkey cup sponge large enough for bathing purposes you will have to pay $4 or f5. "Sponges come in all sizes," says Charles Wood, a buyer, in the Boston Qlooe. "The largest one I ever saw measured 20 inches across. These very large sponges are apt not to be perfect, and they do not bring so good prices as smaller and more perfect ones. The larg est of the more perfect kind measures abont 14 inches across the top and 9 inches through, such a sponge being worth about $20. It is too large for bathing purposes, and too expensive to be nsed in washing car riages, and is kept by dealers for a chance customer. "A good size bathing sponge is about 8 inches across the top and 6 through, and is worth $8. The expensive sponges are bought principally by physicians and den tists, and are used much in administering ether. There are very many people who cannot tell the difference between 'turkey cups' and common reef sponges, and they are astonnded at the difference in price. They are asked $8 for what they think they can get just as good for 25 cents. There is a sponge from Florida called sheep's wool, which, in the opinion of many buyers, is as good for all practical purposes as the silk sponge and much cheaper. They are used mainly for washing carriages, although they make a good bathing sponge. "Beef sponges come from Cuba and Nas sau, turkey cups from around islands of the archipelago. Sheep's wool and reef sponges come in 10, 20 and 40 pound bales, and the finest of the former, known as Bock island goods, sell wholesale at from $2 80 to $3 15 per pound. The turkey cups are sorted at London and Paris into three qualities and sent to us in bags. They are sold by the piece. ACHAR1TIIXBOS10K. The Poor People Entertained and Fed for a Nickel Each. Arlo Bates1 Boston Correspondence. A charity which has been very quietly but most efficiently introduced in Boston, is the People's Entertainment Society. It has one course of entertainments running in the North End, the poorest part of the city proper, and one in South Boston, in a neighborhood a dozen times as bad as any thing the North End can produce. A hall is found and such talent obtained as will please the audience and can be afforded. The tickets are sold for five cents each, the holder being entitled to a enp of coffee or a glass of milk. Of course the entertainment is not of the most exalted order. It consists for the most part in imitations of instruments or animals, character songs and sketches, and the milder and mocuous sort ot variety business. Jug glers are in favor, and the imitation of a cat on the back fence seems to appeal to tbe very depths of the aesthetic in the soul of the North-Ender. The main thing is that these poor creatures are kept amused, in a warm and clean place, for a couple of hours.-ud to my thinking the fact that they pay for entrance is one of the most important features of the scheme. Ot course it would be better if it were possible for the patrons of these courses not to know that there is any charity connected with them, but that is hardly practical. Before They Quarreled.

MR. JOHN IFFT INTERVIEWED "I can hardly explain to you how I got into the condition I was in. It came on me gradually, and before I realized it my con ition was a very serious one." The writer had found Mr. John M. Ifft at his pleasant home at No. 62 Grant alley, Allegheny, in the Sixth ward. "I am quite willing, however," Mr. Ifft continued, "to do my best in giving an ac count of my trouble. It was tally six years since I first noticed it, and during that time not for a single day have I felt like a well man, or been an hour Iree from some kind of pain or sickness. "To begin with, it was a slight cough that troubled me; my nose wonld be stopped up on one side or the other. My throat wonld have a raw, uncomfortable feeling. That was called catarrh of the head and throat by those whom I consulted about it. I tried by every means I knew to get rid of that, bnt instead of getting any better the tronble seemed to be extending all the time down into my chest "I found myself losing flesh steadily. Sometimes I would pick up for awhile, and I would think I was getting better, bnt then in a little while I would find myself falling away faster than ever and a good deal worse than I had ever been. '"wmmmmm Mr. J. M. Ifft, 61 Grant alley, Allegheny. "There was a constant dropping from my bead to my throat. It was especially bad when I laid down. Often I would have to sit up in bed in order to get my breath. The mucus would gather in large quantities in my throat, almost smothering me. I could not sleep, and wonld get up more tired than when I went to bed. Until a short time ago I was working on the Man chester Street Bailway. When I went to work in the morning I would have to cough for at least two hours before I could clear my throat and chest of the mucus that had col lected daring tbe night. "My eyes were affected and became so weak that I could not see to read. There was a doll pain across my forehead and ringing; bnzzing noises in my ears. My hearing was seriously impaired. 'I wonld get dizzy frequently, so that when I wonld co abont my work spots wonld seem to swim before my eyes, and everything would seem hazy and dim. This wonld most frequent ly occur wnen arising snaaeniy, or alter exert ing myself. At such times my heart would palpitate violently, and this would be followed by flow and Irregular beating and a sensation of falntness. "The least exertion wonld tire me and make me short of breath. I could, not walk even a short distance without suffering pain. My ap petite failed me. For five years I was never able to retain my breakfast in my stomach. The constant conghing In the morning wonld causit a nauseating feeling and compel me to vomit. "I had tried so many doctors and remedies without gaining any relief that I had become discouraged and never expected to get well One day 1 read of a case similar In many re spects to mine that had been treated and cored by Drs.

The statement given below is from one of the patients residing out of tbe city who was treated from the office of Drs. Copeland & Blair. The gentleman In question Is Mr. Will iam Barnes, of Hickman, Fa., a thriving town on the Pittsburg, Chartiers and Yonghiogheny Railroad, about IS miles ont trotn Pittsburg. Dnring a recent conversation with the writer, ho said: "Fire years ago my trouble first made its appearance, and it continued to crow steadily worse until I was at last in a very serious condition. My bead and nose were first stopped np,and there was a dropping from my head to my throat. I wonld get op lu the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed tbe nicbt before. I could eat but little, and hat I did eat laid like a heavy load on my stomach. "At last the tronble extended to my chest. There wonld be sharp pains stabbing like a knife right over my heart. My lungs became affected and I had a dry, backing cough. I grew weaker and weaker and was unable to do any work. 1 lost all sense nf taste and smell. 1 was advised to go to England. I went there, and spent a great deal of money, bat derived no benefit. I became disheartened and hon estly believed my trouble would soon cause my death. "I was advlsod while In this condition to try Drs. Copeland Ss Blair. I bad read of tbe great good they Mere doing, so determined to see them. "Tbe result has been a great surprise to mc I improved rapidly from the very first. I soon regained my sense of smell and taste, I hare no more tronble with my heart or pains In my chest. I can eat well and feel refreshed by my sleep. I can work all dav and feel good at night. In fact, I am. perfectly well. I owe my recovery to Drs. Copeland & Blair, and shall be glad to speak with anyone about my case." Reiultof Home Treatment. Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hal ton, Allegheny county. Pa., commenced a course of home treatment for his catarrhal tronble, under the care of Drs. Copeland & Blair. At tbat time his trouble had assumed a very aggravated form. He stated to tbe writer as follows: "My nostrils would clog up. My bead ached constantly. X had severe pains in my chest. Tnere was a dropping of muens from my bead to my throat. I had night sweats. My heart wonld palpitate rapidly, and be followed by a slow, irregular beating and feelingof falntness. I was dally growing weaker. The slightest exertion tired me, and I was unfit for work." "How do you feel nowt" "Like another being. All tbe symptoms I have described to you hare disappeared, and I feel as well as I ever did In my life." Last May, Miss Lottie J. Forker, of 299 Arch street. Meadville. Pa., placod herself under treatment by mall with Drs. Copeland & Blair for her catarrhal trouble. On June 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is do ing me good. I do not feel so tired, and my. headaches hare ceased." August 28 her letter stated: "I feel quite like a different woman from the one 1 was when I commenced your treatment."
