that be and his beasts lived in a state of en
mity and warfare which boded no good to
either side.
The gnglish Vice-Admiral Campbelllanded
at Macao., He went to Marasquin for pets
wherewith to beguile his - voyage when Malay
',Pirates were scarce. - Now, among his mon
keys, Polydore: had ' one of especial mark.
Two were male baboons, named licrabouffl
First and. Second; tall, powerful, and intelli
gent as men, but. horribly wicked and cruel;
the other two were chimpanzees, male and
female, called Mococo; and Saimira; mild,
melancholy, intelligent, and beautiful, deeply
enamored of each other, perfectly well-bred,
and holding the 'poet's place in the world of
apes. Mococo was Marasquin'w cf groom."
He waited attable, changed the plates, poured
out• the 'wine,. and, when invited, ate at the
came table; with unfailing grace and distinc
tion. The master's love for the two little
chimpanzees filled the rest of the menagerie—
' the ' objects 'of his severity—with rage and
jealousy.
Now, Karabotifil the First was in love with
Saimita. ,
The Vice-Admiral made some purchases,
and the - ship's crew followed' his example.
Each man bought a male and female monkey,
in - exact imitation of the commander. Ho, him
self, took Karabouffi the First. Mrs. Campbell
insisted on buying Mococo and Sairnira; and,
after a few struggles of the heart, the keeper
of the menagerie—“lnerchant before all else"
—sold her his _pretty favorites; beseeching
the purchaser, however, to keep them out of
the way of Karabouffi the - First: The little
lovers wept like children at parting with their
friend; they clung to him and embraced him
piteously; but, finally, the embarkation of the
monkey host was effected; and Macao confessed
to-having never 'witnessed such a day. The
rage'ofKambouffi the Second, at being thus
deprived of his companions, knew no bounds.
He yelled, howled, and tore about his
cage like a demon; and, from that hour, con
ceived the most deadly ...atred against Maras
gain; but a hatred , that showed itself rather
by, extreme sullenness - and a black kind of
dumb revenge, `than by any overt act of vio
lence. „
A year after this sale, - Marasquin was
awakened one night by the suffocating smell
of fire. He started up to find the whole place
in a flame. His mother could not be rescued;
his menagerie blazing; his superb birds flut
tering and screaming; his magnificent tigers
howling and writhing. .In the midst of all.

demon Karaboidli, with a lighted torch in each
hand. Ile had stolen matches from the pocket
of the gas-lighter ; and,- irr imitation of him,
had turned on the gas, lighted it, and set lire
to the place„ Some one shot as he capered
through tfie flames; but Marasquin was none
the less tinned, and his mother Was none the
leis burnt to.deatb. „
To recruit his fortunes, and re -stuck his
menagerie, Marasquin set mit for New Hol
land, chartering a Chinese junk for the voyage.
But his crew of Chinamen and Laecars quar
reled ; a storm came on, the men got drunk; and
the unhappy junk foundered in mid seas. After
battling with the waves for a miraculous length
of time, Marasquin, half-dead, was cast upon
a small island—the only, man saved of the
whole fillip's company. - Recovering from his
swoon, he found himself lying on the shore,
clone; sot's human being near him, not a hu
man habitation in sight. Gathering his
scattered senses together, he. walked slowly
forward into the interior of the island; when
suddenly he saw a human form at an
immense distance—he made for it—the man,
or savage, fled—he pursued—the savage dart
ed like lightning in and out among the
trees, until at last Marasquin. found him
self at the spot where he first beheld him.
But the savage had disappeared. While look
ing about for him and searching for his trail,
something large, supple, and hairy, 'dropped
from the tree at his feet. It was an ape ;
who, putting himself before him, seemed to
forbid, his further advanee. Not liking this,
Marasquin broke off a bough with which he
advanced threateningly. The brute chattered
and grinned, then uttered a - peculiar cry. In
the twinkling of an eye, from all points of the
compass, trooped a crowd of monkeys, darken
ing the horizon like it. cloud, and.forming a
' phalanx, round Marasquin impenetrable and in
vincible. Dead with heat and thirst he tried to
retreat, but the monkeys pressed thicker and
closer upon him, so that he could not stir. On
every bough, on every inch of ground; banging,
trailing, walkhig, leaping,—in every attitude
of motion-; of every size, shade, and species,
they surrounded him,
ready to tear him to
pieces on the - smallest pretext. At last, opt—
s, baboon—advancing from the company, came
closer yet toMarasquin. Picking up the stick
which he had let fall, he 'gravely, before them
all; gave the unhappy ex-keeper such a flog
ging`that he - would soon have departed this
life had it been prolonged. But a thought
struck him. His bright rederavat—bought at
a costly price a short time ago—that would do.
HO tore it off his neck and flung it in the midst
of his persecutors. The stratagem succeeded.
What monkey ever resisted finery and red ?
'While the entire mass were occupied in
fighting for the cravat he ran off, often
looking back and ? finding to his joy.
that no .monkeys followed him. At last
be reached a beautiful little lake, to which ho
rushed,•balf.irantic with thirst and delight;
he knelt down on the brink, and drank such
draughts as the gods never received from
Hobo. On raising his head, he found the
whole lake lined with apes, all drinking and all
kneeling like himself. They had followed him
silently, upon the trees, swinging - from branch
to branch like squirrels, and noiseless as birds.
Alarming as his adventure was becoming, ho
could not help laughing aloud at the gro
tesqueness of their imitation. Immediately
all the monkeys laughed aloud, too; and Ma
rasquin was almost deafened. Some fruit
grew tempting, but too high for him to reach.
He flung a stone to bring some down; and
every monkey- flung a stone. In a moment
the ground was strewn with luscious fruit and
brokert
.boughs'; all the monkeys eating ex
actly as Marasquin ate—tearing off the rind,
rejecting the seeds; choosing, selecting, like
eo many distorted images of himself.
Hight drew on. Hoping to profit by this
Spirit
,of imitation, Marasquin made himself
a bed of leaves; and all the monkeys made
themselves beds Of leaves. He then laid
down, - stretched his arms and yawned; and,
turning round, pretended to sleep. But the
monkeys were ' not to -be caught. They
stretched their arms and yawned ; yet, not an
ape among them closed his eyes; on the con
trary, they gathered closer and watched him
with redoubled vigilance. In about a quarter
of an hour two great onrang-outings, each of
which could have conquered ten unarmed men,
came on each side of him. They examined him
all over, smelt him,looked in his hair after
the manner of monkeys, poked his eyes, pulled
off his shoes, which they tried to fit on to their
hands ; then pulled off his stockings, whereby
they got to his feet. They were charmed !
They played with biz toes, doubled them, un
doubted them, grinning and chattering with
delight to find the monster as well made 'as
tbemitelyes; they got hold of his arms and
used them in Dutch-doll fashion.. Finally,
they proceeded to strip him. Marasquinknew
that this would be the signal for death. He
glided his bandit into waistcoat pockets and
seized his pistols. Another moment and his
tormentors , would have been shot; but he
would have stood revealed and torn to pieces,
when 'suddenly a long sharp whistle was heard,
and cric ! eric I—not an ape was to ho seen!
A night - or awful fear passed. Day, at
last, broke. - Marasquin followed the lake and
came to its outlet, where he found tho shore
strewn with half-opened Oysters. The mon
keys bad opened them by watching 'when the
oyster gaped, then• flinging a small 'pebble
between the shells. Polydoro profited by the
invention, ate five or six dozen, sank down on
the strand, 'and slept for- twenty-four.hours.

poor human creature was failing from want of
sleep and weariness,the attendant apes pinched
and scratched him, and pulled his hair, and
drummed on his back, and would have gone to
still worse extremities had he not roused him
self, and resumed his labors. On the fourth
day a bell rang, and all the world rushed out,
Marasquin with them ; expecting surely to find
a human hand this time nearbis. No ! An apo
had pulled the dinner-hell, and apes assembled
to dine at the sound. Marasquin followed the
stream, and found Karaboufli and his ministers
at tables They suffered him to eat with them,
but he relished neither their food nor their
companionship, and profiting by their pre-oe s
cupation, he rambled through the apartments.
He came upon the kitchens : half-dead with
hunger as he was, the discovery made him for
get his miseries. But the court of the Mon
key-king had been before him, and the larder
was empty. He found, though, some closets,
locked and secured; he opened them, and fell
into the midst of a world of edible wealth—a
very mine of potted meats, essences, jams,
preserves, wines, and, though not edible, yet
valuable wax candles. He flung himself upon
the viands, and devoured the meal of a dozen
men in a trice. But, not to be greedy, he pre
sented his majesty with a colossal pot of quince
marmalade; and Karaboufli the First plunged
himself up to his shoulders therein. By an
inadvertence the closet was forced open, and
the monkey-world began the pillage. Maras
quirt had broken the neck of a bottle of wine,
and drank the contents ; and all the apes
broke the necks of all the bottles of wine they
could find, and drank the contents, too. Hero
was a scene! The monkey-world verging into I
a state of universal drunkenness! Night was
coming on ; it was growing dark ; Polydore,
was becoming mad with horror, when he re
membered the wax candles. Ho lighted one ;
and the apes, seizing the whole store, lighted'
every one in imitation. After nearly setting
fire to the house, they seemed to remember a I
past scene, and, sticking them in the chande
liers, lighted the salon for a ball. So they
had a ball, and Polydore had to play for them. 1
One ape thrummed the piano, another the ac
cordion; Polydore, after having been beaten
about the head, was forced to attempt the
guitar.
Worse than this : When the amusements of
the evening grew rather slack, the unhappy
man was ordered to enliven the monkey-guests
by gymnastics; much of the same description
of exercise as men force from monkeys. In
vain he refused ; he was beaten till he was
black and blue. In vain ho was unsuccessful,'
- and fell instead of climbing to the top of la I
perche ; he was beaten again. He had a taste
now of captivity, indeed, and knew better than
ho had over done before, what monkey a fool
when they fall into the hands of men. -
Karabourn had mysteriously quitted the ball
some time ago. He now returned, bearing on
his arm Saimira, weeping, plaintive, and dis
censolate. It was plain that the king had di
vorced the lovers, and forced poor faithful
Saimira to herself. That was the reason,
then,
why the unhappy Mococo was confined;
that the monarch might both feed hie revenge,
and hold the threat of his hostage over Sai
mire, should she bo recalcitrant and disoblig
ing. The little chinipanzee could only look
her tender plaintive sympathy with her former
master undergoing these indignities. At last
a thought seemed to strike her. She became
gay, lively, coquettish; roused the jealousy
of Karaboufli; flirted openly before his eyes;
until the king, in a passion, dragged her rude
ly from the ball-room; and the whole court
fled in hie train. This was Saimira's mode of
delivering Marasquin.
To barricade himself in the verandah, as
this portion of the house was called, was not
a work of time. In ten minutes Polydore
was safe irons all attacks from the monkey
world outside. He had food and lights here;
what mere did he 'require? He laid himself
down' and slept as ,tranquilly as if ho had
boon In his apartment at Macao. The next
day he ascended a small spiral staircase,whicit
led to Admiral Campbell's private study.
Looking out through the lattice-work, he
saw the whole army of apes drawn up about
his castle, strongly armed with sticks and
bludgeons, silently, and patiently, and watch
fully besieging him. But he knew that ho
was safe, and despised them, Searching
about, he found Lord Campbell's journal,
where, among other things too long to men
tion here, he learned the mystery of the
skeleton. It • was that of a mandrill, tire
former monkey-king of the island, who, dis
puting the admiral's possession, had been first
shot, then hung as a terror to all recusants
and rebels. The journal mentioned where
the rifle was placed, and Marasquin thus saw
himself in possession of a formidable weapon
of offence. On the strength of the good news
he went to dine. But a new difficulty had
arisen—there was no water to be had; and
Polydore was beginning to suffer from the
strong and fiery wine of the British sailor.
This difficulty, though not immediately press
ing,was not wholly despicable. Peeping again
through the lattice-work, Polydore beheld the
besieging army still at their posts, but with an
increase of weapons. Before each ape lay a
heap of stones.
Days missed. Polydore portioned out his
provisions, and found that ho could live for
three years, at the least, on the Vice-Admi
ral's stores. But for water? Not a drop!
Champagne and fiery wines in abundance, but
of pure water—not a drop. This wine-drinking
made the temperate keeper ill and mad. After
about a month of it, in a fit of frenzy, he rushed
to the arm-chest, seized thirty rifles, loaded
them all, broke out two-loopholes in the wall,
and prepared to deal death on all who opposed
him in the search for water. But -what a
sight met his eyes! He had last looked on
two or three thousand apes; now, there were
twenty thousand, at least, apd their stone
heaps had risen into mountains, piled up higher
than the top of the bell-tower. Maddened
and in desperation, Polydore fired; and the
battle began , Each rifle was loaded with six
balls,' and each: shot slew multitudes; but
multitudes appeared to take the places of those
who fell ; while, like hail, name thundering

STEAM MACHINERY FOR SCREW PRO
FELLER BLOOP-OF-WAR.
NAVY DEPARTMENT
November 10, 1857.
SEALED PROPOSALS, endorsed "Proposals for
Steam machinery for Screw Propeller eloop-of-War,' ,
will be received at this Department until 8 o'clock the
18th December next, for the complete construction of
the Mow machinery and appendages, and placing it on
board a screw propeller ship of war building in the
United States navy yard at Philadelphia.
The often must be for a specific cum for putting the
whole in successful operation • must include all patent
fees for any arrangements that may be proposed ; state
the time in which the work will be completed, and be
accompanied by the usual guarantee required by law.
The name of the establishment In which the work la to
be executed must be stated.
The details of the design and Arrangement of the ma
chinery will be left with the party whose proposition
may be accepted as combining the greatest number of
advantages, keeping in view simplicity of construction,
readiness of access for adjustment when in operation,
and not being subject to derangement in the working
parts; it being the object of the Department to obtain
the moat speed and power with the most economical
consumption of fuel and the greatest stowage of coal
which thb space available for that purpose will admit.
The boilers to be of iron, with telescopic smoke-pipe,
which must be placed at the greatest practicable dis
tance from the mainmast; the propeller with the con
nections for hoisting, to be of compos ition; the ma
chinery for hoisting, for pumps, apparatus for ventilat—
ing, and appurtenances of all kinds necessary for the
parted working of the whole, to be of the most ap•
proved kinds. The coal•bunkera, shaft passage, two
athwartships iron bulkheads, a distilling Apparatus for
fresh water from which can bo made not less than 1,1000
gallons per day; all the tools and duplicate pieces ne
cessary and satisfactory for an efficient cruising steam
ship-of-war must be included in the proposition, and a
list of them must be furniehed.
. .
The woad and carpenter work (except the boring out
the deadwood for the shaft) necessary to adapt the ves
sel for the reception of the machinery, hollow, and ap
pendages, will beprovided at the e x pense of the Navy
Department, and it will permit the use of such facili
ties aa it may have for hoisting the heavy machinery on
hard.
For the accommodation of the entire steam machinery
and the fuel, there will be allowed in the body of the
ship the entire apace, under the forth deck, commencing
at 1746 feet abaft the mainmast, and thence extending
forward a distance of 66 feet; the greatest brea4th in
side clear of the plank under tho beams being 42X feet,
and the height from the top of the timbers to the un
der aide of the beam amidships being 13 feet 9 inches.
Within this space it is expected to carry coal for thir
teen days , full steaudng, the daily consumption of which
the bidder will state in his epecifications ; and the
weight of the machinery, water In boilers, shaft, pro
peller, and appendages, whh the tools and spare work,
must not exceed 940 tons, of 2,240 pounds.
The distance from the aft side of the mainmast to the
aft-side of the forward stern-post will be about 100 feet,
and the distance between the forward and the after
stern-post will bo 7 feet ; the depth from the load water
line to the top of the keel under the propeller will be
1046 feet.
Steam-ongine manufacturers who desire to bid can
obtain a copy of the 'motion of the vessel upon making
application to the Department.
The proposal must be accompanied by full specifica
