A EERIER OF REMARKABLE ADVEN.
TERM&
By QUttri,
It wos ,my great-grandiatinir, rthijith Quill,
mariner, who related thks• extraordinary story
one evening to a circle of his friends iu the bar
room of the Eagle Dote!, Darby.
Abijah Quill, any great-grandfather, was a
wan of honor, and there can be no doubt that
his stateinents are strictly true.
lily great-grandfather had a white oak leg;
recollect that.
You understand," said • he, " that about
fifty years ago, 1 was a sailor orl board of the
bark 'Sally Straddles,' which was cruising
around in the Indian Ocean trying to find her
way back to the United States of America.
Well, you know, we kept fooling ..around .and
going nowhere in particular for thaw or foul•
weeks, sometimes taking a hurricane, and
a ()mobiles a dead calni, for a change, and
nothing happening to make things lively. One
day, however, white the captain was sitting in
Lis cabin ciphering' out the-exact extent 'of his
individual capacity as a whisky absorber r all
of a sudden he heard a thundering, 'knock on
the bottom of the ship."
" Come in," says he.
But nobody appeared; so,' after waiting a
bit, he makes an observation of the skylight
through the bottom of his tumbler, and says:
"All right; stay out then."
This skipper, you understand, was .a man
who was easily satisfied. You couldn't bother
him much.
But in about twenty minutes in comes the
mate and makes the remark that the captain
bad better come down in the bold, as there
was something very queer sticking •up through
the planks. So the captain and he went down,
and there was the bill of a sword-fish, about
four feet long, fast in the planks.
Nobody knew what it was, and the captain
said :
" Very singular; who rammed this thing in
here 1”' .
6, What's the good of it, anyway ?" .asks the
mate.
"shiver my timbers if I know," says the
Captain.
"It might do to open oysters on," suggested
the mate. ' •
",les' so," says the captain; "we'•ll.go fishing
for oysters to open on it to-morrow."
With that the captain walked off, and ntf
body paid any more attention to it.
Three or four days afterwards the mate
went to the captain, and sayS he :
"Cap., don't you notice that the water's
nearly up to our bulwarks?"
"Yes," says the captain ; "I wonder what's
the reason."
"Perhaps there's an extra high tide to-day,"
suggested the mate.
"Or maybe t.heie's been a freshet some
where," said the Captain.
"It may be that the ship's leaking," put in
the mate.
"So it may. I never thought of that," said
the captain.
Sure enough that ship had been leaking at
the rate of a barrel a minute ever since the
sword-fish struck her, and the captain hadn't
more than got the words out of his mouth be
fore she foundered, and went down with every
soul on board but me, who just had time to
jump into the jolly boat and row off.
And so there 1 was on the raging ocean in an
open boat, and didn't know which way to go.
But I didn't care a cent, and I just hoisted the
sail, and laid down and went to 'sleep, deter
mined to let her rip which ever way she
pleased.
I was waked by the shock made by the boat
striking against something. I got up and
looked over, and there was a sand bank just
three feet long and two and a-half feet wide.
I disembarked immediately, and made myself
AB much at home as if I hadn't been in a
strange land.
After thinking awhile I made up my mind
that I had got to live there, and I might as well
he comfortable. Sol just took my hatchet and
knocked the boat to pieces. Then I built a
first-rate boitse out, of the planks, and felt as
snug as yon please. • , :
My residence here had some disadvantages.
In the first place, there was not much room to
take a stroll, and then there didn't seem much
chance to go into agriculture to any great ex
tent. However,
there I was, and so I didn't
grumble about the inconveniences. I deter
mined, to sell the old island out to the United
titates uf America the very first chance I got,
too I sttifeyed it, and drew out a map of it,with
'all the physical peculiarities of the place marked
upon it..
And then I got up a government of my
own, and when election day came around I
went and voted like a good citizen, and was
never challenged once. Occasionally I would
bold a mammoth mass-meeting .of all the
patriots on the Island, and once I tried my all
fired best to get up a political riot,but it proved,
a failure. I did, however, make several first,-
class speeches, in which I alluded to the
threatened destruction of our free institutions,
and called upon the whole population to rally
to the .defence of their liberties.
And then I always rallied to the defence of
my liberties.
I declared war once, but it didn't seem to
take.
But .one day, while in the midst of making
a fervidmrationott the nuances; - a - waterspout
happened to come along, and the first thing I
knew I was in its grip, whirling and tossing
about one hundred feet In the air. I must
have traveled in immense distance, for when
I began to.come down I saw I was right over
a splendid, , fertile country..
I fell.
' Hight underneath me were a parcel of Inn
doos, dressed in half a yard of muslin apiece,
all standing around a chief, who was letting
himself out in a war dance. It so happened
that 1 tumbled right on top of the old boy's
skull, dashed his brains out, and reduced him
to an inanimate clod in less than a minute.
All the otber heathens they thought I was
one of their gods, because 1 apparently came
out. of the oks,.and so they all stood around in
a ring, and begunl bowing to me
-46 Good morning," said I, thinking they only
meant to be polite.
Still they nodded.
•' Yes, it is pleasant . weather," I said, not
- understanding them.
Then they ,nodded larder.
" Thank you, Nery well ; how are -you?"
And their heads bowed. more than ever.
" Excuse me, did youtspeak ?" I . said to one
gray-haired old cannibal in a pocket-haudker
ishief and wristbands.
'No use. They kept on bowing. Then I
tw), to understand that they were.avorship
ling, the, so I put on a few ,airs that I, thought
might be becoming ht a papn deity, and strut
ting about, I belted three or ,four of them
overthe frontispiece with a dub. Theyseemed
to enjoy it. , '•
too I went up to the sacred dwelling-house,
and tazde myself a good deal at home ;for
aboutilx months.

Afters while the' priests came, and:wanted
to know if I wouldn't go out and take a rule
on the hob , swing, just to oblige the people.
"Ah you've got to do, ".said they, A' is.to ..raa

" Well, at least yen Will lay' doWn and let'
the car of Juggernaut run over you, and mash
you up into a jelly, won't ..yrou?' ; ! urged the
priests.
I think- not this. mOrnifig. : The., neble
pagan god feels na if it 'wouldn't . agree with
him."
"Our gracious!" said they, "you must do
something or.other. Well, then, spOse'n you
just stand on one leg for twenty years, or
clench your hand until your grow
through baek , Of fit.'
"if 1 do, hang inc.., Yon must think I'm
a jackass, don't yon,?" said 1, for 1 felt mad.
" This will never do," said the priests, "let
us seize Lim anti throw him into the river, so
as the sacred alligator can thaw him up."
So they grabbed me, and took me down to .
the river, and heaved me overboard.. But I
kicked so that the sacred' crocodile go scared,
and never touched inn. So I lust swam
across and seized a boat, and sailed out to sea,
determined to leave that benighted heathen
lafid forever ! '
All went well , enongh 'for seveial months,durL
ing which time I lived on fish and • drank rain
water, until one day, when just within sight
of land, 1 was lying down in the thwart of the
boat dabbling my toes in the water. The first
thing 1 knew a shark.sbot up, clapped his jaws
onto my wooden leg,:and hauled me rout of the
boat into the ocean before I had time to think.
1 soon found that the fish bad jammed his teeth
into the oak wood so tight that he couldn't get
them out again.. • -
. .
So 1 had'that tild'shark right,' Of comae.
He pulled one way and I pulled the other,
but I was the stronger, and in a short time I
landed him high and dry on the beach.
While I was busy unhinging his jaws, who
should come along but a squatty littte man
who says, says he :
" Trliwtiptg dggnypp trmll."
" Yes, I am rather:wet,", says I, thinking I
might venture almost auy remark on an ob
servation like that.
" Gwrillnpg dbllngx whnt," he said, with a
serene smile.
" I believe not," says I, "I am rather too
tired for that."
Bllgghgbw mlly hmptgp dnrrgpp 11," was
what this mate said.
----" Abijah Quill's 'my - name, America's ' my
nation," I remarked, " if that's what you want
to know. •
"Kwinppgllt Ondrrgllwnnd pttlrilwinutig,"
says this man: • -
" Well," 848 1, "I don't care if! do, as long
as you insist - on it. I'll take ruin and sugar
with the chill
Then the man in despair pulls a school atlas
out of his vest pocket, and points to the map of
Great Britain. I understood it right away. I
was in Wales, and that was the reason he
never used any vowels inlis conversation.
And this fellow, you knoW; treated me all
right, and sent me to Liverpool, where I got on
board a ship and came home, and here I am.
"And: -now," says my great-grandfather,
" you take I"'
" BUFFALO BILL."
How Ile was Killed.
[From the White Vine News.]
Levi . ,laizel was buried at Eureka, Wednes
day afternoon. The particulars of his death,
given in the News yesterday morning, were in
correct in some respects, and the story of the
tragedy partakes of the comic. It seems that
Buffalo Bill (although his own name. was
Levi) "had a partner.' This partner (whose
name we have been unable to learn) and Bill
had followed the Flying Dutchman from, the
termination of the trial fbi the right of pos-'
session of the wagon on Tuesday morning
until the shooting took place in the afternoon.
In the afternoon the Dutchman drove up in
front of a saloon in which Bill and his partner
were drinking, when the pair came out and de
manded a mule from his team. The de
mand was refused when Bill's partner
drew a six-shooter and " welit " for the
Dutchman, who took to his heels, his own
pistol being inside the wagon, near the back
end. Pursued and pursuer., dashed around-the
wagon a few times, when the Dutchman flew
the track and ran into a saloon. Bill and his
partner, having now a clear held, went to work
taking the mule out of the harness. While
they were thus engaged, the Dutchman slipped
out of the saloon, got to the back of the wagon,
and was just getting hold of his pistol when
partner discovered him. The partner
darted for him again, thinking to have another
race; but just as he turned around the hind
wheel of the wagon, pistol in band, the Dutch
nntn let him have it in the arm, and his pistol
dropped. A crowd rushed out and seized the
wounded man, leaving the Dutchman free,who
then ordered Bill away from the mule. Bill
Stepped back live or six iteps,when everything be
came quiet. During this lullthe Dutchman "got
his mad up," as only a'Duteliman can, and;
feeling that he had not given sufficient vent to
his pent-up wrath, he stepped up to one of his
own mules and dealt him a blow on the hind
quarter with the six-shooter. The weapon
glanced, and just as the muzzle came in con
tact with tbe Dutchman's abdomen, the
charge exploded, the powder burning a large
black list across his abdomen, the ball passing
through hiS clothes and striking Butlalo Bill
just above the heart. Bill stood motionless for
a _moment, with an., expression- -of - - intense"
agony on his countenance, then clasped one
band upon his breast, and sank upon one
knee, then upon the other, leaned to one side,
and fell over dead. Some of his friends rushed
for the body and seized his feet, but it was too
late—he died with his boots on.
A Theatrical Bore.
Our attention is frequently called to un
fledged readers and amateur players, whom
we are requested to bear and see and frequently
praise. These persons usually appear in en
tertainments which are given for the cause of
charity, and which, therefore, are not the
'proper subjects of criticism; for charity is one,
of the noblest of causes, and all defects should
be overlooked in work that is done hilts be
half. To invite critical consideration under
such circumstances is to act with 'equal justice
and presumption. We desire to protest against
being victimized in this manner. if
young ladies and gentlemen, lit-.
terly incompetent to read and to act, will
persist in making themselves ridiculous before
their acquaintances, it would seem to be
pru
dent for• them to do so without challenging the
attention of the press. Humility is a virtue.
We commend it to the boys and girls who
think that their souls are on fire with the
genius of Kean and Siddons. Experiments •
in acting, flourish best in obscurity. To put a
hump on your back and call yourself "Richard"
is-not to play the part. The ability to act' is
very rare. The desire to act'is very common.
And the ability and desire are not identiCal.
Young persons who mistake in themselves the •
latter for the fernier make one of •the saddest
of all mistakes. That mistake, we have reason
to know, is often made, and• is .far too
often encouraged by the injudicious praise'
of partial . friends. The results, likewise, we
'have frequently observed.; a warped character;
a broken career;, bitter brooding over unful
filled ambition on the one hand, or the dotoivms
life of a stage "stick," on the other. The
alternative is not inviting, and we, for our
part, shall certainly decline to help anybody
into 13 nch a dilemma. Resides, we have to see
and tolerate bad acting enough on the regular
stage, :without enduring the callow incompe,
item of young ladies and gentlemen, to whoni
'dean ds . and feet are an unmanageable burden,
and who move about before the footlights in
spasms either of lndicrons terror or still more
inilierons

ISOMOILUNGI'ABOVIr NAM VOO.
NAVVOO..
KEOKUK, lowa, Fob. have just re
;turned from a visit to the original centre of
...Mormonism, . Natwoo s ,in Hancock. county,
Illinois. Since the proposition to remove the
National Capital to this place was made, it has
suddenly grown to be a place of some import
-
mace to those who would locate the headquar.
tors of the Government upon the Mississippi,
river, and its location and attractions, as well
• as its. traditions,'May be of some Interest to the
general reader. The city, for it still preserves
its corporate character, is located on the east;
side of the Mississippi river, twelve miles above
Keokuk, and thirty-two miles below Burling
, ten. To reach Nauvoo the traveler leaves the
train on the Burlington di Railroad at
Montrose, a little station opposite the old town,
and at the head of the lower rapids of the Mis
sissippi.. The river is a tulle and admit' in
width at this point, but very shallow, except
in the highest stages of water.
• I crossed the river in the " regular ferry boat.",
a tolerable skiff, and on landing Inquired,the
way to the residence of Major Hymn', the nts
band of the " martyred" .11ormon Prophet's
widow. (letting the proper direction, I fol
lowed down the bank of the river for a short
distance, and then turned up a broad street or
road which leads Into the town. On the way'
up to Main streed passed quite a number of
unfinished brick buildings, which I afterward
learned had heed started in 1843. The old
• Walls are' n a remarkable State of preservation.
Reaching Main street, I turned to the right,and
passing down it one square,carne to the " Nan
voo Mansion House," the old residence of the
Prophet Joseph Smith, and the present resi
dence of his widow, Mrs. Bycum. I stopped
before entering and made a survey of the ex
ten or of the building. The house is a frame,
two storie4 high, with five or six additions
added on the rear end and north, side, which
gave the whole the air of an old German man
sion, filled with all sorts of little corners, dark
attics'and sharp angles on the outside. The,
• front is relieved by a narrow , portico, which
covers the main or hall entrance. Near by, on
time conier of the block, stands a post from
which is suspended the old sign " Mansion
House of Nauvoo."
Entering the " office," a small room on the
left' ide of the hall, I saw Major L. C. Bycum,
the present head of the concern, seated at a
small table with three young boys, playing a
game of "seven up." I explained the object
of my visit, and asked the Major to show me
around. He expressed a willingness to do so,
but complained of a severe attack of rheuma
tism, which disappeared at once upon my ask
ing him if he bad beard of the proposition to
• remove the Capitol to this city. rHe was ready
in a few minutes, and we sallied forth to in
spect the city.
Yantis* was laid Out in 1838-39: the land
having been deeded to Mrs. Smith, and by her
to Joseph Smith, In trust for the church. The
lots contained one acre each, making four
acres to the block. At the time of the evacua
tion of the city by the Mormons, it contained
about four thousand houses, not more than
live hundred of which are left. Passing up
Main street, we came in front of the house
occupied by Brigham Young. The house is
built of brick, is two stories high, and wears a
very dilapidated look, never having been
painted. It, contains seven small rooms, and
even for Nauvoo is quite an ordinary building.
Young was only an elder in the church then,
and an adventurer among the MOrmons. On
the opposite side of the street stands the house
in which Brigham's brother lived, when here.
It is a neat building, with a square roof sur
mounted -by an observatory. These two
buildings and the " reception house" are the
only ones of note left standing on the level
plain which extends from the hill or bluff to
the:river.
THE: SITE OF THE TEMPLE
is the best point on the hill from which to see
the whole city. and take in, at a glance, all the
magnificent beauty cif the landscape. The
Mississippi river makes a semi-circular curve
to the west. from the upper side of the city,
around to the south side, almost directly to
the south of the point from which it turns to
the west, and the city, six miles square, covers
all the ground within this half circle. Near
the centre of the city, on the highest point of
the bluff, stood the temple of the "Latter Day,
Saints." Standing upon this point, the eye
takes in at a single sweep the entire plat of the
city, following down the gently sloping hill to
the river on three sides, and eastward for seve
ral smiles across the level plain. To the south
ward the view of the river is uninterruptedfor
.eight Miles, and for more than half that dis
tance to the northward. 'I can not describe
the natural beauty of the landscape, nor do I
think any description could do the subject full
justice. The slopes of the hill, which were
once covered with residences and business
houses, are now covered with vineyards, with
here and there an old ruin or a residence.
THE TEMPLE
is among the things of the past, not a single
stone of the building being left to mark the
pia& where it stood. It was inclosed by a
stone wall eight feet in, height, a portion of
which is still remaining, but as the public have
use for these stones they will be caned away.
The binding is Saidleiliave lieen a magnificent
• structure, one hundred and twenty-seven feet
lang,,eiglity,six feet wide and sixty feet high to
the top of the cornice. The spire was one !mu
cked and sixty feet, high, and surmounted by a
beautiful gilt globe, above which was erected a
gilt angel. The temple was burned by incen
diaries on the night of the 18th of October,
'nearly four years after the Monne:ls had
left Nauvoo. The vandals were never • dis
covered until a few years ago, when a dying
woman revealed their names and stated that
they were employed by citizens of Warsaw, a
town in Hancock county, to burn the building.
After the-burning the walls were taken down,
and several large stone buildings erected out of
them.' - The cost of the temple Was one million
of dollars. but it was not quite completed when
Smith was killed .in June, 18-14, though the
corner-stone was laid on the Oth of April, 1841.
7,11}: ARSENAL,
which was the depositary of the arms of the
" :cativo() Legion," is still standing, being used
as a pthate residence by Mr. - Baum, an exlen-
-sive wine-grower. This building stands near
the site of the temple, is built of white stone,
and istll;ec stories high: Near it is the old
powder it ngazine, which Mr. Baum has War
vented into a wine cellar. Near the arsenal I
was shown the place where, Boggs, the Mis
sourinn. 'Wag , killed. Oa ittle circumstance
which led to the arrest and subsequent death of
the Prophet. The Mormon side of the story
is that smith was drilling the Legion, and,
during .some- of the exercises with their arms,
one was accidentally diScharged, and Boggs
was no mgre. The cry was raised throughout
the adjoining counties that Smith had 'ordered
him to be shot,and,upon this rumor, the Latter
Day PrOphet Was 'arrested and, lodged in jail
in Carthage, Where he was murdered by a
mob. , • •
• After the Mormons Went away the houses
and property were occupied by: squatters, who
subsequently purchased it from Mrs. Bycum
(➢irs. Smith), the original sale by Smith having
been declared void by the Courts.
Joseph Smith, Jr., who would probably have
fallen heir to the city, is now residing at Plane,
-a beautiful little town on the Chicago, Burling
b it mad Quincy Railroad.
AS A SITE FOR THE CAPITAL
Nauvoo is unequalled by any locality in the
West. The beautiful white granite with which
the Mormon Temple was built was„...qturrried
within two miles of the temple sitx3; and there
is enough left to build a dozen cities. - The vast

Stormy sericite in she Hoiden it'ounell.
A correspondent of the London Tames writes
from Borne that: , • , .1
I ought to have, told, you more of what I saw
and beard on Tuesday, for, as now appears, it
Wag something out" of. the way. The voices
ware very loud •3 the bell rang several tithes ;
there was a'false breakup; the doors opened,
the Swiss Guard, the servants of the bishops
and cardinals 7-4: best of • them—and a con
siderable crowdof people all hastened to the
entrance of the Council Hall; the doors were
closed again, and remained closed for ten
minutes ; then out came the Fathers, all ex
cited, some looking determined, most very
uncomfortable. I did not write all this, be
cause if nothing'came of it I should have been
presenting you with a tuare's nest. But here
is the explanation. The speaker was G'hilardi,
Bishop of Mondosi, the r same mail who same
years ago preached in the Duomo at. Milan,
and gave such offence that a bomb - was
fired under the pulpit, llisspeechswas a studied
and very unsparing philippic against the
leaders of the 'Opposition. The tone at
first was that of a homily, paternal and Unc
tuous, but Ghilardi soon follOWed in a more
natural - vein. Ile told the Galilean and :the
Gerinan chiefs that they were creating discord
in the Council, and then proelaithing it to all
the world. This, he said, was intolerable, and
an end must be put to it. Such men were
converting a most auspicious design into a
scandal and cause of offence. Ile charged
them with pride, ignorance, and downright
impudence—impudicizin—and, as far as , he
could venture to say. it,,,with heresy. The:ob
jects of his attack found it rather too much
for their patience, and exclaimed, in a great
variety of languages, that they had had enough
of this, and would listen no more. The Le
gate rang his bell several times, but each side
took the rebuke as addressed to the other, and
the more be rand his. hell, the louder Ghilardl
declaimed, and the More, too, did the French'
and Germans try to shout him down. They
took to stamping on the floor and to beating the
benches;--and I must remind you that among
other privations the Fathers are sitting on hard
boards covered with Brussels carpeting. Then
all at once they rose up, as if to rush out of
the ball, addressing angry ejaculations to the
Italian as they passed the pulpit, and, it is posi
tively asserted, shaking their fists at him—more
likely the bundles of Schemata I saw them
grasping, with something like a quiver of emo
tion. .71t. the appearance of the flying crowd
between the two screens, the door-keepers
threw open the great doors, but by the time I
bad got there, with , everybody else in the
church, the doorS were closed again. The Le
gate had managed to recall the fugitives, though
the Aleclaimerwent on,and did goon, they say,
even when the Council,atter a formal dismissal,
was finally leaving the hail. This I give as I
am told, but of course it must occur to every
Englishman that after Dupauloup and Stross
mayer had been allowed to have their say, it
s% mild have been at least wise to let Ghilardi
have his. But scandalous as the scene is .said
to have, been, they tell me that something
worse is likely to happen before long.
