CATCHING A CORSAIR.
riUIE RECENT horrible massacre of
J. prisoners by the bandits of Greece
brings to mind the effective service
against the pirates of tho Grecian Archi
pelago rendered by tho late Commodore
Lawrence Kearney, of tho United States
Navy, in tho early part of tho present
century. So successful were its efforts,
that ho received highly complimentary
mention in the I'ritish Parliament.
There were many adventures which
befell tho officers of the ship, the old
sloop-of'-wur Warren while engaged in this
service, some of which were very exciting
as will appear from the following rela
tion. There was considerable excitement in
tho hamlet which lies at tho head of the
little land-locked bay of Milo, one morn
ing, when the Warren appeared off tho
entrance of the harbor with the evident
intention of coming into port.
There was a light breeze blowing from
seaward, and as the ship headed in, with
all sails set, the sunlight gleaming on the
broad Geld of white canvas, the picture
was grand and beautiful.
In a few moments a rumbling of chains
was heard, then the sudden splash of the
anchor, and ns if without an effort she
folded her wings and swung arouud to
her moorings, with nothing aloft but the
delicate tracery of rigging and spars from
which the nimble sailors were fast hur
rying to the deck.
Before night a great change had taken
place in tho appearance of the vessel.
Yards have been sent down, masts bous
ed, and a general dismantling, as if for a
long stay in port, and a thorough over
hauling of the ship had taken place.
It was not altogether idle curiosity
which caused the inhabitants of the ham
let to watch so closely the proceedings on
board. In tho first place, the stay of a
man-of-war in port is always u source of
profit; and, in tho next, the movements
of the dreaded Warren were of too much
importance to the pirates to escape the
closest espionage by their agents and
spies.
The signs of an intention to remain
some time in the harbor wcio therefore
gratifying in a double senso, and before
night n swift felucca had sailed from tho
other side of the island for one of the pi
rates' rendezvous in an adjacent island
with the welcome news.
That night there was musio and re
joicing on shovo, in which some of tho
sailors, who had gotten " liberty," up
roariously joined.
It was late beforo the inhabitants re
tired to rest, and tho first who aroso next
morning naturally turned their thoughts
upon the war-ship. Where was she?
In vain they gazed over the hurhnr, fob
bed their eyes, and looked again. She
was nowhere to be seen.
With tho midnight land-breeze, her
spars and rigging replaced, she had
spread her canvas and flitted away like a
shadow !
The hamlet was soon astir, and in the
wonder and surprise of its inhabitants, it
was hours before the thought occurred
to send advico to the pirates of tho oc
currence. It was too late however to
avail them.
Upon the information of the previous
day, an expedition had sailed, and al
ready one of their largest and best man
ned war fuluccas was hovering on the
path of the merchant-ships bound for
Smyrna.
It was luto in the afternoon that a
largo, heavy-laden ship was descried from
the deck of tho corsair. Her sails were
old and patched, her sides stained with
ironrust, her yards carelessly trimmed,
her rigging badly set up, and all the evi
dence of u long voyage and a rich cargo-
The felucca, which wus to windward
at oneo boro away for her; and. as
soon us his intention was perceived on
boaril the merchantman, his character
was suspected, and there was alarm ex
hibited in her governments. The ship
was got beforo tho wind, and sail after
sail slowly set, as if she was short-handed.
It appeared all too late, however; for the
corsair glided t wo knots to tho merchant
man's one, and in little more than on
hour she was close upon the hitter's quar
ter. To the pirato's peremptory summons
to "heave to !" a hoarse, indistinct reply
was bellowed through an old, battered
trumpet, by a rough-visaged, gray-headed
old seaman, who shook his fists in seem
ingly impotent rtig'e nt the intruder.
This pantomimic defiance Wus answered
by n shout from tho pirates, who now
Swarmed the deck, armed to tho teeth.
Tho helm of tho felucca was put up, and
sho canio rapidly down to lay tho prize
aboard ; but just then she was abreast
and beforo tho vessels touched, a wonder
ful change hnd taken place in the ship !
Boarding nettings were triced up in
an instant from her bulwarks, and her
old, stained side seemed to open as if by
magic, while a dozen deep-mouthed cau
non protruded from as many port holes,
and in an instant belched forth sheets of
flame and a storm of iron hail, which
tore through tho hull, rigging and sails
of the corsair with terrific effect, strewing
her deck with the dead and wounded,
and leaving her but a wreck, incapable
of resistance or escape.
The survivors, who now saw the " Stars
and Stripes" floating from the peak of the
seamed merchantman, understood at once
that they were in the grasp of the tcrriblo
Kearney, and made signs of submission.
The boats of tho Warren soon rescued
them from tho sinking wreck, and taken
in irons to Smyrna, they were delivered
over to the tender mercies of the Turkish
authorities.
This was but one of many bold and
successful strategems by which nith a
single vessel, Captain Kearney almost
cleared tho archipelrgo of pirates earning
the thanks of Turks as well as Christians
rendering his name famous, and confer
ring honor upon the naval service of the
United States.
Curious i'ncls iu Regard to Sound.
FjnilE following curious observations in
JL regard to the transmission of sound
have been carefully vcrrified by n series
of experiments. The whistle of a loco
motive is heard 3,i00 yards through the
air: the noise of a railroad 2,900 yards :
the report of musket and bark of a dog
1,000 yards; an orchestra or the roll of a
drum, ,G00 yards; the croaking of frogs
900 yards ; tho chirping of crickets, 800
yards. Distinct speaking is heard in the
air from below up to a distance (300 yards;
from above it is only understood to a
range of 110 yards downward. It has
been ascertained that an echo is well ro
fleeted from tho surface of smooth water
only when tho voice comes from an eleva
tion. Other similar phenomena connected with
tho transmission of sound have been ob
served, but tho results disagree, cither
from inaccuracy in the observations, or
from the varying nature of the circum
stances affecting tho numbers obtained.
Such variations occur to an extent of ten
to twenty per cent., and even more. The
weather's being cold and dry, or warm
and wet, are. the chief influencing causes.
In the first case, the sound goes to a great
er, and in the second, to a lesser distance.

Day and Sight In Sweden.
Tho peculiarities of tho day and night
in Sweden strike the traveler very forci
bly, after being accustomed to the temper
ate zone, hi June tho sun goes down
in Stockholm a little before ten o'clock.
There is a great illumination all night, as
the sun passes rouud the earth to tho
north pole, and the refraction of its rays
is such that you can see to read at mfd
night without any artificial light. There
is a mountain at thehead of Bothnia,whero
on the 21st of June, tho sun docs not
appear to go down at all. The steam
boat goes up from Stockholm for the pur
poso of conveying those who are curious
to witness the phenomenon. It occurs
only one night. The sun reaches tho ho
rizon you cau see tho wholo face of it,
and in five minutes more it begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude seventy-two
degrees, the sun does not go dowu for
several weeks. In Juno it would bo about
twenty-five degrees above the horizon at
midnight. In the winter tho sun disap
pears, and is not seen for weeks; then it
comes and remains for ten or fifteen min
utes, after which it decends, and finally
docs not set at all, but ulmost makes a
circle around tho heavens.
In a railroad car tho seats wero
all full except one, which was occupied
by a pleasant-looking Irishman, and at
ono of the stations a couple of evidently
well-bred and intelligent young ladies
came to procure seats, but seeing nO va
cant ones wcio about going into a back
car, when Patrick rose hastily and offer
ed them his seat with evident pleasure,
" Put you will have no seat for yourself,"
responded ono of the young ladies, with a
smile, hesitating, with truo politeness as
to ifccept it. Never yo mind that,"
sid tho gallant Hibernian, "ye'ro wel
come to it. ' I'll rido upon the cowcatcher
to New York any time for a smile from
Bueh jiutletnanly ladies," and he retreated
into the next car amid tho cheers of his
fellow-passengers.
Dog Storied.
A DOG belonged to a convent in
Trance. Twenty-four poor beggars
were daily served with a dinner, passed
out to them through an aperture in the
wall by means of a tour, or revolving
box. There was a bell rope hanging be
side tho opening. Each beggar in turn
rang the bell nnd received his dinner.
After a time, the cook noticed that
twenty-five dinners were passed out. A
watch was set, and it was discovered that
after the beggars had each received their
proportion and turned away this dog
would go up and ring tho bell and get a
dinner for himself. The authorities of
the convent, learning tho case decreed
that the dog should continue to have his
dinner for ringing for it.
Another case, related by a gentleman
who saw it : A party of huntsmen had
to cross a river, which they did by swim
ming their horses the pack of dogs all
following, except a terrior who dreaded
the plunge. After looking on for a
time with many distressful barks ho sud
denly turned and ran swiftly up the bank
till out of sight. There was a bridge
some distance above. After a whilo the
dog came running down the other side of
the river, and joined his comrades.
There is ono more anecdote worth re
lating, that is not in tho books : I had it
from those admirable gentlewomen of the
old school, the Misses It., long time my
neighbors on the Passaic. They had a
carriage dog that commonly accompanied
in their drives. Their course often took
them across the river, over a bridge four
miles from their residence. Tho keeper
or the toll house hail a big surly mastiff,
that always sallied out aud attacked their
dog, who was no match for him, and
sometimes IJeauju suffered severely; so
that at length ho declined accompanying
them if they took the road up tho river
toward the bridge. The way through
the lawn from their house to the high
road was nearly half n mile. One day
when they came down to the gate, they
found tho dog there waiting for them.
As soon us he saw them take the up river
road ho turned aud ran with great speed
back to tho house. In a very little
whilo ho returned and overtook the car
riage, accompanied by a powerful dog
ordinarily kept about tho house and
grounds and never went with tho car
riage. The two trotted along, side by
side, following the carriage, until they
came to tho bridge wheu tho mastiff sail
ed out as usual. Tho little dog then
held back, and his big comrade went at
tho assailant and gave him a tremendous
punishing, evidently to tho little fellow's
great satisfaction.
Arteiuiis and Betsy Jane.
In an affecting account of his court
ing with Petsy Jano, Artemus Ward
says :
"There were a great many affectin'
ties which made me hanker after Betsy
Jano. Her father's farm jiued ourn
their cows and ourn siuenchcd their
thirst at the samo spring both our old
mares had stars on their forrcd the
measles bioke out in both families nearly
the samo time our parents (Betsy Jane's
and mine) slept regular every Sunday iu
the same moetin' house and tho nabors
used to observe, " How thick tho Wards
and Peasles air!" It was a sublime
sight in the spring of tho year to seo our
several mothers (Betsy Jane's and mine)
with their gowns pinned up so that they
couldn't silo 'em, efl'ecshuntedly billin'
soap together aud abusiu the nabors."
t&B" Tho influence of the mind in ac
celerating or retarding tho approach of
death is exceedingly remarkablo, and in
some instances account for those presen
timents of a fatal termination of their dis
ease, which somo persons seem prophet
ically to entertain. A caso is recorded
of a person who had been sentenced to
be bled to death, but instead of tho pun
ishment being actually inflicted, he was
merely induced to believe it was so, by
water, whilo his eyes w.erc blinded, being
trickled dowu his arm. This mimicry,
however, of tho operation so completely
depressed tho action of the heart, that
tho man lost his life as irrecoverably as if
tho vital fluid had really been abstracted.
flST" A banker lent a graceless scamp
fifty dollars in the hope of getting rid of
him; but, to his surprise, tho fellow paid
tho uiouey punctually on tho day agreed
upon, and a short time afterward applied
for another loan. " No," said tho bank
er, " you have deceived me once, and I
am resolved you shan't do it a seoond
timo."
SUNDAY READING.
A Story of Ingratitude.
A SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER
who had endeavored for some time
to impress upon the mind of his scholars
their obligation to lovo Christ as their
Saviour, finding them indifferent to His
claims of their love, narrated tho follow
ing story.
" Two years since the ship A
sailed from New York for New Orleans,
having onboard several passengers, among
whom was a man named Thomas Smith.
Several days alter the ship sailed she en
countered a storm iu which this passen
ger was washed overboard. A rope was
thrown to him from the ship, but he
missed it; a second rope was thrown, but
ho missed that; tho third and last rope
was then thrown to him, nnd he was
sinking amid the waves, but he missed
that also. Ho was hopelesely sinking;
meanwhile the ship driven by the winds,
was sailing onward in her course, leaving
him behind to perish. He could not
long survive the fury of tho billows that
wero passing over him whilo he swam,
struggling to save his life. All hope for
sook him, and he saw no escape from a
watery grave. Exhausted and weary, he
was about to desist from further efforts
to save himself ; his fate seemed inevita
ble. " Just then a noble sailor (who had a
wifo aud three children dependent upon
him for support,) seeing his desperate
condition, and no one but himself could
save tho drowning man said : "lie shall
not drown ; I will save him, if I perish
in the attempt," and instantly plunged
into the foaming sea and swam to his
relief. Soon he reached him, and by
superhuman exertions succeeded iu bring
ing him within reach of ono of the ropes
that had been thrown from the vessel,
which the drowning man grasped aud was
drawn up safely ou board the ship ; but
the noble sailor, overcome by tho exhaus
tion of the efforts ho had made, was un
able longer to resist the fury of tho storm
and perished in his generous undertak
ing. " Tho passenger who had thus been
rescued from a watery grave manifested no
gratitude; and made no mention whatever
of his kind preserver, though he had per-
.ished in saving him. During the whole
voyage he juever onco expressed any re
gret that this sailor had lost his life for
his sake, and treated with utter neglect
tho sacrifice made to rescue him from his
porilous situation. After his return to the
city of New York, where tho widow and
orphan children of this sailor were living
in want, ho did nothing for their relief
ho did even visit them in their sorrow,
loneliness aud affliction ; he did not even
send these orphan children word that he
had been saved by their father ; or ex
press any gratitude or thankfulness for
the act. He never mentioned to an ac
quaintance or friend this noble' act of the
generous seaman, who gave his own life
to save hint. No one ever learned from
him what this sailor had done for him
by no act or word did he ever recognize
his obligation, but dismissed the subject
from his thoughts, and seemed totally to
have forgotteu that he had been rescued
from drowning by tho exertions of this
disinterested mariner. Ho lived forhim
self and thought only of himself and of
his business nnd his pleasures.
" Now, boys," said the teacher, what
ought to have been done with such a
mau, can you tell, Charlie?"
" Ho ought to have been chucked over
board again," was the reply.
The teacher said, " Such is your judg
ment Charlie, aud so men judge one
another in respect to the duties they owe
each other. But do you know, Charlie,
that you are that passenger V
Header ! yon, who are still outside of
tho fold of Christ, you are that passenger.
Jesus Christ gave His life to save you
from what is far worse than drowning;
to save you from eternal punishment for
your sins against God. To save you he
suffered aud died upon tho cross. To
save you his hands and feet were pierced
wheu ho was nailed to tho cross. To
save you from tho consequcuces of your
sins ngainst Him, Ho suffered and died
but you are not grateful to Him fortius;
you make no montton of His love, or tho
sacrifice He made for your sins; you da
not eveu express regret that your acts
of sin caused Ilhu to die; you do not love
Christ's cause, or II is children: you do
nothing to advance the interests of Christ's
Kingdom : you will not profess your ob
ligations to Ilim before, men; you dis
miss tho subject from your thoughts, and
like tho ungrateful passenger, are living
1 for yourself and the world.
