Did you relate your 'adventures to the

No indeed ! When the goods came they
were delighted with them, affirming that the

And where is that?
r To church,' said Eunice.
When.the old frigate Brandywine lay at
Gkbraltar, the AmeriCan Consul, Mr.Sprague,
cable on, board with a an who wished to
join m,
t the . shipi and after some .ebusultation—
said man was received 14 the captain as a
sort of stevrai d.. he having agreed to work for
his passage on board, and some slight consid
eration besides. His name was J.oe Lattiti•
and he was a regular specimen of the strol
ling Yankee ; but he dresied well, and was
remarkably gOod, looking, !though there Woe
ini.his face a-Peculiar look which indicated •
fui,i, allowing,
however; that the fun had some 1
sense in it. The moment t place&my eyes
uPon the man,. I knew that I had 'seen hirri
before, and when 1 had 'an"opportunity . to
speak with him, I found that he had been a •
performer rof:- legerdemain end ventriloquism
in the United States, midi there I had seen'
hint. He had travel:A through England—
Fiance, and part of Spain, with. his imple
ments of deception, and had just brought up
at-` Gibraltar when nur ship • came in: Ile
brioUght his whole kit on board in a large
efn...st., Which he had perrniss'on to stow in
ate bed-room iwhere it might be kept Perfee.t..
ly dry 11.. had *quite a,' pile'
.of Money
which he placed in•thct pin ser's handsfur safe
kiieping, - blithe would tell none of ha how.
much. But he was liberal and open hearted,
arid it was not long before the crew, blessed'
flip hour that bi ought hint on board,. for he
was- the very
.soul of wit and humor.
jAt length our ship, went to port Mahon
•
aid here our Yankee tars i NS erv,at home.—
One pleasant Morning ,a,party of ,us went o.n .
shore, and Joel.attit was anongpiirnuniber.
Ji.:.e,was dressed hi a shore-going rig, and ap
peared a 'gentleman of . ecinsequence. Near
the middle of the forenoona few' of us enter
ed a cafe, and the only oceupent,' besides the
It! eper, was .a Spanish offi
fii.cer,
W evidently,an . in-
fortry captain; • from his dress. .e called
t
~ wipe, and had it scrved.upon a table next
to the one at Whicli, the officer sat; Joe seated
himself so that his back cainc against-the back
I.of the Spaniaidi—but he did not notice, when
4•sat down - , how close he would be.
Our laugh
,and jest - ru high, and just a , :
Jive said soinethina more than usually
he threwi himself back, find thereby hit the
,
S e with fliree that he spilt a glass
or wine on his' bosom. The fellow leaped,to

the unintentionallnishap he commenced a
tbrrentt of oaths and itivectrii., partly in Span
iel and partly, in. broken ,tnglish. r Ills Inn
.
guage was sAi abusive . that-Joe's tempc`i was
Op in a.moment, and instead of askinfi t' .par
dun; a.s . he Ltd intended, hp **surveyed ihe*ra
.man from head"to foot, and then said :
'Go on cir, your langitage is beautiful—
Very beautifiill fur a gentleman.' •
you call me no gentlemen,- eh r ut
tered the Officer, in a towering passion.
If 1 were gfiing to • call yotkl should call
you a . jackas,!' calmly and eontemptiously
uttered Joe. •
Aha-a-ha' half growled the. Spaniard,
.rol
a ling his black eyes wildly and' fnriously.---:
I i:Now by Santa Maria, yon shallnnswer for
, that. 1 am a gentleman! But you----you
One leetle puppy I ._ Ah-a hh ! Now you' shall
fight ! . ,
Joe would 'have laughed the' matter - Or, but
be found that the captain was determined to
fight, and 'at length he resolved to fight, and.
to accommodate him. The keeper °rale cafe.
Called Me to one side, andknformed me that
the officer waS:Captain Antonio Ifizar, one'of
the . most
_notorious duellists in the place—
that he was always quarrelsome when under
the influence of liquor, and that his compan
ions always, left hint Clone, rather than *have
a fuss with
`Not five ! Minutes before you came in,' ad
ded the keeper,. four 9f, his fellow officers .
left him because they. raw be was ripe for a
fuss.: So you had better get your friend a
way.'
1 pulled Joe away, .and told him all that
had just been told 'me but he only sinned . —
and assured me that derii. was nothing to fear.
I felt:sure at Once, fivm his very. manner, that
he had some Safe fun in his bead, and I let
him go. • •
My name is Joseph Lattit, sir—a citizen
:of the United i'Sates, and general of the order
of Sublime Darkness,' said Joe,;pOmpously,
;turning to the Spaniard. Your name, sir.!'

. .
`•011, you wouldn' t know if ,I. should tell
:you.. I am- simply General of a body of Men
who sold themselVes to a gentleman
who .burns sinners and bereties i down -here.',
And Joe pointed most
,mysteriously down
tovrard the floor as bespoke. .
f.
The Spaniard smiled a very bitter,: sarcas.
tic smile, and thereupon
"Joe took up 'two
large knives which lay upon the bar, and tos
aed Mena, ominfter the other down his throat,
(making several wry faces as they took pas
isage downward. . The fellow had evidently-
Iliever seen anything of the kind done before,

seems that Joe found a boat ready :to

tiOt gone Over three quarters of an hour, and
when he came back he, had - two superbly

' Now select your pistol,' said Joe.
The man took-thetn both, and . 'exatnined

'Alike, and both good, and he told Joe he had

The officer looked first at Job's teeth and
then at the ball. It - was surely thersame One:

'He was unmistakably astoundedY

stepped forward and took the ser SaMC bul- i

caught his pistol balls between his teeth, was
notoeirte . tly the man for him to deal with: =
While he was pondering upon what he had

Joe; took a handful of bullets from i his

And as he spoke, he hurried twav from the
place. After he was gone, Joe beckoned , for .
me to givelhitn the knives. I and

We returned to the cafe, he approached the
keeper. ' ' 1 •

But the poor fellow dared net speak: , 'Joe

Joe picked it up: and went away, laughing.
When we were alone he explained to me the
secret of the pistols.
They were a pair he had - used in his legerde ,

So the apparent, barrel' of the 'Weapon might

Several a thwse Missourians have behn curs.

lt,is quite likelrthat the Missouri forces 'in

attacking Lawrence:\ I. begin' to suspect,
however, that they have i most -wholesome
