ia needless here to refer to it, how in
iquitously the old law of debtor and
creditor operated ia the British do
minion. It waa a period ia which
men bad not yet beJrun to recoimiza
the fact that punishment has other
and higher auns than the gratification
of revenge i that even extreme punish
ment is, after aLL but a aeoeaoity that
soma auaii aunor lor the good of all.
The poor debtor, ia those days, boing

moraelessly thrown into prison, and
there left to languish and pine away,

elected, the power of seining the body

established their right to it by die
charging the indebtedness. Gold
smith, by his "Vicar of Wakefield,'
first made the people aware of the
monstrous injustice which, aa ra
garded debtors, waa then perpotrated
under the name of law. Poor Goldy
waa competent to speak of it from ex

The great masses of the people,
however, had from the beginning a
vague idea that this punishment of
insolvent debtors waa right This

UnfortunaUly there ia too muoh rea

of increasing their number i for the
sympathy sometimes rose to the de

Then Would come judgments and at
tachments and the young blood would
be put on the defensive. All kinds
of stratagems would be resorted to in
order to capture him, and sometimes
the bailiffs might count themselves
lucky if thoy did not get shot or
drowned. The bailiffs were regarded
as outcasts, whom anybody might
assault wiuj impunity, and wno re
ceived no respect whatever even
from those who needed thoir services
and were willing to retain them.

hands were powerless to aid them.
Among the most relentless of red
itors waa A broker, whom, for conve
nience, we shall call Snifters. Snif
ters dabbled in stocks, lont money on
bond and taortgage, shaved notes,
and resorted to every other method
of making an honest penny. In tua
course of his business ho turned
many a poor family into the street,
af tor selling their lent bedstead and
c hair. The poor folks hated hitn.
They said that the Cone of the widow
and orphan was upon him.
Among his debtors, however, there
happened to be a Counsellor Rey
nolds. Reynolds had borrowed of
him the sum of one hundred pounds.
Being unable to pay it when due,
be with difficulty obtained the exten
sion on the note, and oidy on aa us
urious consideration. Reynolds was
so exanporated that he was deter
mined to give the old fellow some
trouble.
Snifters called several times subse
quently, but every time Reynolds
contrived, on some pretext or other,
to further defer the day of settlement
At Inst the old follow began to make
an ominous show of impatience.
"W elL air," ho said, rather testily i
"will you please say definitely, otioe
for all, when you will let me have the
amount of ruv notet"
"My dear fellow," said Reynolds,
"I do feel sorry that your little claim
has not been sottlod. Well i it shall
be settled now. Ton know Dr.
Tompkins. I'll just give you an or
der ou Dr. Tompkins. If he has the
money on hand he will pay you, and
if not, he will tell you "it's all right,"
and he will aeud it to your boose.
You may depend on him."
Snifters felt reassurod, and Rey
nolds wrote s
"Dias Dootob : This will intro
duce you t. a friend of tube. Sir. Si
mon .Snifters, 12 BaloWgan Place.
He is aflooted with a very disagroea
ble scorbutic affection, but is so sen
sitive that he will not speak to you
or anybody else about his case. Tho
Ealias of Ins binds are aflooted. and
e is troubled with an irresistible de
sire to scratch them. Say nothing,
but make him up some remedy, and 1
will call and sottlo with you.
Truly Yours,
.Reynolds."
This letter he enclosed, and having
carefully sealed it, told Snifters to
take it to the doctor. A beam of sat
isfaction played over the features of
old Snifters, as he took the noto and
departed for Dr. Tompkins' residence
Dr. Tompkins waa at dinner wbea he
arrived, sud liavlon read the note did
not seem ia sny amiable mood, for be
. , l . . . . . .
bad not had a Its io a week, aod bere
his services were asked oo credit
Snifters, seeing his morose expression,
naturally altriboled it to diasreosble
feeling at being obliged to pay the
mooey. He waa not aurprleed, there
fore, when Dr. Tompkinn, folding up
the epistle, sulleoly addressed lilin in
tbe words, "That will be all right."
Binders was satisfied, and havinit
apologii'd lor the uoessoosb!eoes ol'
ths hur, (the savor of the dinner bad
invaded the doctor's study), he took
his leave.
Io about two h' ore. afterward, a
boy rang tha bell at Mr. Snifters'
dingy residence. Suifters saw the
boy at be approached. He knew it
was Dr. Tompkins' bey. Now he
was sure to set his mooey. lis
haiteued to open the door, and had il
openett I m ss the boy rang tbe ball
"J lie doother styt aa hew tbts is

Uevuolds oBioted oot to understand
the suss, but Snifters soon mode bitu
awireof it with violent gestures and
execrations..
lAh., said Reynolds, "ooly a mis

oqs else, and the olotmcot to you."
"Wen,-' said Bollteis. bis lace pur
ple with rage, "all I have to say Is,

"Well I era sorry to say tbat I

outlier, eyed tbe tray, took it on io

iiaats its weight. "Yes," he said, at
last, I think so.1" " ' ' '
"Well, then, take It put It under
your oust aod lake it away with you.
If any one asks Jotl what veu have

uid Boinert at Bret . hesitated, but
evidently belie log that this was bis
only shaoos of seer getting kls hun
dred pounds, be at last agreed to da
as Arysuld directed. He pot ths
tray sodar kla coat, and was already

The thought aovcr oeoorred to old

'Nothing," he answered.
"You lie, you oil eeonfidrol; yoo
have got my master's silver tray,"
end puttiog bU haotl under
Snifters' cost, he caoiht bold of the
plate aod driipued it forth.
Poor Snifters was horrified. The
waittreslijd a polittuinan. Snifters
whs takoa, with ihotruy, lo the police
headquarter, where the waiter en
tared a charge and poor' Snifters was
co.nuiitted.
Up to this time. Reynolds choae
not to appear io the matter. That
evening, however, old Snifters sent
for him.
Reynolds histened to ths jail, end

When they got back to the starting

that a man and Lis team were worth

be likely to do less work while he
was gone. An hour's idle talk would

was determined to save fifty cents

Lewes, Del. He fell overboard trooa
his schoonor. Upon the body being
recovored, and every attempt to re

coffin, and then again in the usual
outer box, and shipped by Adam's
express to the friends of the unfor-.
lunate man in New York city.
It romainod in Philadelphia, from
p. m. to 1 a. n. Upon its arrival
in New York the certificate of the
Lewes, Del., doctor was discovered
to be somewhat informal, and th
advice of the Board of Health war
asked. A was at lost concluded to
open the cases, and when this was
done the man waa found to be a
live. The best medical aid was im
mediately called in, and it was era
long thought possible to remove the
captain with safety to the Bellevne
Hospital, whore be now is. He is?
not only doing well, there- is every
probability of his speody and per
manent recovery. -How he existed;

(ow persons would care to attempt

He will live to tell his strange ex

know aught until his awakening, for
if he was conscious during nis jour

worked upou him that he will live
his term with darkeued mind.
His caso ia a most extraordinary
one, and should have tbe examina
tion of niedicul experts. Doubtless
the ofTlcent of the Adams -Express
office in this city will give aay addi

to study and are eatiable of studv
ing the affair. The beauty and
pleasure of death by drowning has
time and again beoa written of, and
if any are capable of giving their
personal experience of such an oc
currence clearly, Captain Mills caa
do so, for ho was so nearly drowned
that he ranst have known all but the
final gasp of death.
How narrowly he escaped being
buried alive may be imagined from
the fact that up to the time of open
ing the box there was no idea that
he lived. Even then he might have
boon sent to his grave had not the
peculiar flush upon his face attracted
attention. Ouo may well shudder
