Jamet llnckham, in Ilarper't Wrtkly. A CIIAMPIOXOF THE SEA. When I got my rating as able feaman I could have navigated a ehip to any part of the world. I did not enter upon tho occupation through force of circum stances, but because I lo cd tho sea. I had a fair education, s'cady habits, aud served my t rail with an uncle who was a sp'cndid sailor and a God-feuriug man. I should have bicn his mate nfter re ceiving my rating, but he died while we were loading ship, nnd tho owners kept me ashore for a couple of months to look over papers and fix up accounts. Then I could have had a berth as mato. but a strange notion had come over me. Several Captains had been hauled up fur abusing their men, and I had been present at the trials. .ly indignation was aroused by the stories told by the men, and, en couraged by half n dozen philanthropists, I determined to beiome a sailor's cham pion. It was very silly, I now admit, but at that time 1 earnestly believed it was my mission. It was silly for one mnu to hope to work a revolution. Had a hundred ihampions set out, and been backed by owners nnd courts, some thing good might have come of it. My lirst step was to procure the ma rine laws of every country, with All tho rules and regulations hairing upon Bailors' rights. I was very particular in securing definitions of the term mutiny, and in reading laws concerning the rights of sailor.', to be quoted at length bcfoio consuls in foreign ports. I had the help of a lawyer in this work, and he gave mo many hiuts of value. When I was loaded and primed I stowed $ 100 in cash in my pocket and shipped aboaid the brig Adveuturo, bound from Liver pool to the Wo-t Indies. This shin had been recommended to mo ns a good one to begin on, at the l aptam hail been ar rested several times for cruelty, but ah ways escaped conviction through the in fluence ol the owners and thu p.-r urcd testimony of the mates. I was now SJ yeais of age, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighed luO pounds, and was afraid of no cull on bhipboard. I was stout as a bull, a good boxer and wrestler, and had never seen a d.iy's sickuess. As I tum bled aboard the Adventure with half n Soen other sailors, I was determined io do my full duty as far ns possible, und to obey all rules and regulations to tho fullest extent. Hcforj we were fairly under way I saw that we were to have a floating hell. The Captain was n hard drinker and a brute, and tDo mates de lighted to curse aud abue. Aboard of my un.-les ship sailors were treated like men, and drink aod profanity were un known. I was prepared for the change, however, and let nothing ustonish me. I exhibited my activity nnd willingness in getting away, and before the watches weie set it must have been patent to the otlicers that I was a thorough seaman. This should have counted in my favor, and it did for a little while. 'there is always a leader in every crew. lie not only governs the forecast lo, but ho sets the pace of the men, especially those in his watch. If he is active oiid willing, the men will pattern after him to a cer tain extent. If he is a growler and a lag gard, his disposition will affect all. liy tacit consent I was made leader, nud, ti the gnat surprise of some of th'i old sailors, I informed them that 1 had coma aboard to do my full d ity in a cheerful manner, and that I wauted nj growling or shirking. This gave them the pace, and yet it got me into trouble. The of ficers could find no excuse for abusing the crews, and were evidently troubled over it. (hi the third day out, as I was taking my trick at tho wheel, 1 noticed that both Captain and first mate were iu ugly mood, having been drinking too much. There wasu't the si ghtest excuse for grumbling. We h.id a fair wind, every sail was drawing, und everything above aud aloft was tidy and shipshape. The watch on deck were all busy, an 1 I wondered what excuse the Captain could invent ior minting a urenK. it was evident that lie was fishing for one, and the mate was trying to help him. liy and by, after looking aloft, ho roared out : ".Mr. Morton, what lubber have you got at the wheel He is three points otf her course;" "It's Castle, sir," replied the mate. Tho Captain turned and approached the wheel, while the innte, kuowing that a row was coming, skulked forward. I was steering as riuo as silk, aud as tho Caplaiu looked into the biuuac e he had to admit it to himself. This doubtless added fuel to his anger, l r after a minute he growled out: "l!lat you for a lubber, but how dared yon thip aboard as au able sea man" "liecause I am one, sir," I quietly answered. "Oh, you are, ch) Perhaps you are a naviualor a'boi" he sneered. "I can take this ship out and back, eir," I answered. "The the deuce you can '." he hissed after a moment. "If you are a navigator, what are you doing forwaid amoug the men f" "I shipped as an able seaman, sir, bp cause uo other berth was open at the time." "Vou are a cussed liar!" shouted the enruged mau. "Vou came aboard to show otf your smartness and make trou ble. I've had au eye on you, and I'm going lo work up your old iron." lie drew back to strike rue, nnd I o-"ked b'ui U r i the eyes on4 saidi "Capt. Strong, if you strike me I shall defend myselt." He held his nrm ready for a moment, nnd then let it fall, seeming to realize that he was in danger. Then it occurred to him that lie was being bluffed before his mates, and he shouted to tho steward to bring up his pistol. Tho weapon was soon handed him, and ho cocked it and turned it to me with: "Now, then, you mutinous dog, get down ou your knees and beg for your life." "Do you know what mutiny is?" I asked of him, as quietly ns possible. "Mutiny is refusal to obey orders neces sary for tho working of the ship. If you kill me, you will go to trial for cold blooded murder." "W-what." he gasped. "And let me tell you something more, Captain Strong. You and the mate nre the worse for liquor, ns the wholo crew can testify. Your licenses can bo re voked for this. This morning you re fused medicine to Urace.who is sullcring with cholera morbus. lean have you fined or suspended for that. Have you a medicine chest aboard, as requited by law! No. There is a fine or suspension for that. You have thrcatene 1 my life without excuse, as e.en your mates must tcstify.nnd I can make vou stnnd trial for it." I said all this in a low voice, and look ing him full in tho face whilo I kept tho brig on her course. His face grew tho color of liver, and then as white as snow. He stoid holding the pistol for a moment after I h id finished, and then turned and walked to his cabin,, where the mate wai soon summoned to counsel with him. The men forward had caught on, and half a dozen of them signalled to me thut they would i-ta.rjd by. I shook my head. It wni not a. , mutiny. I, plain Jack Tar, had certain rights which Captain Strong must respect. It was a fight bctweeu us two. Uefore the Captain reappeared I was relieved at the wheel, and I went forward and armed myclf with a revolver from my chest. I also took tho papers bearing on the case and placed them in my bos un. Then I urged the crew to stand aloof and let me tight it out alone. I deliued mutiny until they understood thoroughly what not to do. Hut there were only two or three brave fellows in the lot; the others had been hounded until they had no sp rit left. They might have gone into mutiny, ior even cowards do that; but when it came to standing up for their righti they were curs. The d2ck-watch were all at work when tho Captain came on deck again. He had his pistol in his hand, and the mate also had one, and the steward followed them bearing several pairs of hand cuffs. "Call tho men nft to witness punish ment I" shouted the Captain, and at the order of the mate all moved aft, while the watch below came tumbling up. When we hud all assembled the Capta.n po ntcd me out and said : ".Men, we have a dangerous fellow aboard. He shipped to stir up mutiny and get us all into trouble a-hore. Fortunately for all of us I have spotted his game nt this early date, and shall now give him his just reward. Custle, stand out." I stepped out in front of tho men. "Steward, put on the handcuffs." Tho steward advanced with a pair in his hnnd, but I waved him asido and said : "Captain Strong, you dare not put those on me until 1 refuse to obey a legitimate order concerning the care of tho ship. Vou have certain powers under the laws of tho high seas, but the meanest sailor also has certain rights." Ho was livid with passion, aud it was only after a great effort that he said : "I will have you triced up and flogged to death! Steward put on the irons!" But tho steward dared come no nearer. The Captain then ordered tho crew to seize me, but not a man moved. The second mate was then ordered forward, but he hud the sense to keep his foot out of it, and lie replied : "If Castle has tho law, let's hear it. I've sailed twenty years without know ing the rights of a sailor, and I waut no trouble iu the courts." 1 saw Captain and first mate look at ench other, and I prepared myself for a rush. They were determined to do for mo, and as the Capta'n handed his pis tol to the steward I ca'led out: ".Veil you nre my wituesses that Ihave not refused to do duty or obey orders. No Captain has a right to trice a man up, and he can be put in irons only for disobedience of legitimate orders. If thev lay bauds on me it is at their peril." They camo with a rush, both were knocked otf their feet inside of ten sec onds. The mate was satitied with that, but the Captain came at me again, and this time 1 give him all ho wauted. Noc u man raised hand or voice, mid I gave thu biute such a drubbiug that he did not get out of his cabin again for five days. Then it was to signal an Knglish man-of-war. We wero boarded by au oiliccr. I was given in charge as a mutineer, and four months later was put on trial at Liverpool. I not only re ceived a full acquital at the hands of tho jury, but was complimented on all sidei, and Captain aud mate were both suspended from duty for u term. Tho nlfaT raised a great talk, ns may be supposed, and it was a seed which could have been well planted. A few sailors did prolit by it to assert their manhood for a time, but nfter a little things went backward and became worse than ever. To-day, despite the romance of poets and novelists, the average salt water sailor :g a cringing coward. The law gives him every right, but he dares not Maud up to a single one. He has less, personal independence than a Stale prison convi t. My second voyage, which had to be made under another . name, as all cap tans had been warned against me, vtus from Liverpool to run 1 lancisco, in the bark Knchantress. Just why Captaiu and mates let mo alone 1 never knew, for others who did their duty as well were grossly abused, but I wus not even threatened during the voyage. Before we had been a week out the mate broke a ninn's nose with a belaying pin. Next day he cut open a uiau's sculp in a terri ble manner. n the third day the Captaiu knocked two men down, break ing several teeth for one ot them. Tho secoud mate, a day or two later, kicked a sailor in the side and broke two of his ribs. When we arrived at San Frau cisci I took thirteen of the men, all of whom had suffered personal violence ami three of w hom had to go to the bospitu', mid, wem pi-fore th JJnlish. Cousul! He sent for the captain nnd mates, heard their statements, and then dismissed US' with the threat of sending us to prison if we made any further ndo. I went to tho United Slates authorities, secured the arrest of the ollicers, and the enptuin was lined 40(l, the first mate :i.jO, nnd the second $2"i0. And yet, on the return voyage which was with a new crew every man was beaten like a dog, nnd the ship went into Liverpool with half the crew unnbie to pull a rope. I made a third voyage before the mnst before taking a berth as first mate. This was on the brig Good Intent, bound from Plymouth to the Canary Islands. Weleftpoit one man short, simply to save money for the owners. Our bread was full of weevils nnd worms,nnd the pork so tainted that nil open barrel of it scented the whole brig. We had not tho boats required by law, and we iind no medi cines aboard not even a dose of salts. Here were five derelictions which made the master amenable to law. Within a week the two first officers got so intoxi cated thnt they could not take nn obser vation nt noon, nnd for three days our position was unknown to them. The Captain, whdo drunk, upset a lamp and set tho cabin on tire, and his chief oiliccr, while in tho same condition, fell over board nnd narrowly escaped drowning. We forfeited our iusurnnce no less than three times, and for the lust u00 miles of our voyage we ran by sights, which I took myself and worked out. There wasn't a day without its brutnl treatment of the men. two of whom wero fired upon by the Captain, and yet when we finally made port not a sailor could I get to join me ;n n legal statement. Tho brig, cargo nnd all our lives were in con stant menace, every right was denied to us, nnd men were never more brutally used; and yet the Captain nnd his mates were permitted to escape without even a complaint. jVeo YerA Hun.

How to utilize every scrap of p iper,evcry piece of twine, rope or old boot ana sheet ot mouldy paper, is tho occupation of 10,000 people I..Mmwlitirv on ttiia litlmliln lull rpmlinpr. ' 1"-7 "'" ativc employment. There nre, according to the latest, sta tistics, upward of 200 junk shops in this city, which give employment to 11,000 persons. The modus operandi or each is as varied as the personality of the p'oprietors. In some, carts are em ployed to travel from door to door nnd collect the refuse, while others employ the ordinary bag and a stout stick in the col'ection of garbage to be curried to headquarters. In some of the larger shops on Tenth avenue ns many as eighty men are employed in collecting and sort ing out tho various articles whi h find their way into these places. In a wcil regulated junk shop business methods nre as systematic as civil service rules. Kvcrything within its walls ftom the ceiling to the cellar has its own fixed price. While paper No. 1, which com- Crises the trimmings and clippings of ook paper, sells at three cents per pound. The No. 2 pattern, which is composed of circulars and spoiled sheets, fetches fro.n two to two aud one half cents, nnd book covers half a cent per pound. It may be asked to what use the juuk ware is converted '. Some valuable old garments which find their way here nre unseamed and ripped open and sold at the rate of fifteen cents per pound to manufacturers of shoddy. There are at present two large iron yards in I.croy street where scrap iron, which is pur chased at half aoent per pound, is melted and made into light sheet iron, after ward sold to telegraph wire manu facturers. Broken stoves, which are ex cellent material for telegraph wire, sell at five cents a pound. Old bottles are washed out and resold to the trade as new. Old hats are stripped off aud reopened. The East Side manufacturer who purchases hats originally from the junkman for tea cents resells them in rejuvenated shape for $1 or $2. Old shoes which sell for a dime ure resold to Baxter street shoe makers, who use them in making up now ones, to sell nt fl a pair. Kailroad tick ets after serving their particular pur pose, being mutilated, cannot be used again. They are sold to the junkmen I for a cent a pound. Old corsets sell at three cents a pound aud nre used in tue manufacture of white paper. Iu short there is scarcely a remnant or fragment of anything imaginable which they can not use. The majority of junkmen are of Irish birth or extraction, though not a few Germans have lately fallen into tho UilU ness. Italians, who are mostly unlicensed ragpickers, foim a colony by themselves. They collect the garbage from dumps nnd ash bur: els, which their more wealthy and high toned brothers-in-nrms would refu-c to touch. This dirty stuff must be washed, and on account of this many respectable junk dealers refuse to buy it. They also pick cinders, bones and other refuse. The ciudcrs are sold for coal to tho not over particular neighborhoods, uud the other stuff to wholesale Italian junk dealers, who wash it preparatory to its shiptueut to the tendering establish ments. Tho Germans, who reside on Eighth nud Tenth nvenues, between Sixtieth and Kightieth streets, employ dogcarts. They collect coal, calilage leaves, or any other species of waste, which they use principally as food for t'.e ducks and geese which they keep In lnrge numbers. Cabbage leaves and lard drippings fatten them sufficiently tor their purpose. The Irish junkmen, who comprise by far the largest, as well as the wealthiest and most aristocratic class, reside on Green wich and Fourteenth street.ncar Avenue A. One of these, who may be daily seen in tattered clothing behind a pu h tart, owns two brown stoue houses in Harlem, nnd yet he lives in a miserable little hovel whoe floors never knew the touch of a carpet. Lucky fiuds are often made in these collecticus. Perhaps the most remark able was the discovery of tlie secret cor respondence relating to the marriage of Jeromo Bonaparte and Miss Patterson, of Baltimore, and subse jiient negotia tions between the families, in the waste paper warehouse of the bride's father. From the letters found in this strange m inner the entire history of the negotia tions between the Patteisotis and Napoleon, and of their failure, was col ic, ted, aud thu result published in book form iu 1 H":t. It afterward transpired that the wholo mass of voluminous cor respondence was obtained iu an ush barrel.

Tlie easiest way to dry lace curtains after washing them is take a dry, sunny day. fasten them to the line by one edge with clothes pins only a few inches apart; then gentlypull and stretch them until dry. If quilts nre folded or rolled tightly after washing, then beaten with a lolling pin or potato masher, it light ens up the cotton and makes them se un soft nnd new. Stair carpets should have a strip of thicK paper placed uiub r them over the edge of every stair (which is where they first wear out) to le sen the fr ction of the carpet asuint the boards beneath. Strips of old bed f)uilts put under a stair carpet deaden the sound ol footsteps besides making the carpet wear longer.

Now, for the benefit of such, 1 will give our plan: Hnng the fowl by the feet by a small cord; then, with a small knife, give ono cut across the upper jaw, op posite the corners of the mouth; after the blood has stopped running a stream place the point of the knife in the groove in tlie upper part of the mouth, run the blndc into the back part of the head, which will cause a twitching of tho muscbs. Now is your time, for every feather yields as if by magic, and there is no danger of tearing the most tender chick. Before he attempts to flap you can have him as bare as the day he came out of the egg. Brushing Children's Hair. Fiequent and thorough brushing of the hair is extremely desirable. It not only improves temporarily the appear nnce of a x-hildj but tends nt the same time to keep the scalp in a healthy condition,. It stimulates the growth of theliair,'-and prevents it from becoming dry and harsh. Care should be exercised in selecting a thick, soft brush, and due attention paid to the manner in whii h it is used. There is a right way and a wrong way of doing many things, nnd in brushing the hair the latter is too frequently employed. The mother or nurse who assumes this important duty muse take plenty of time and give her undivided attention to it. If the opera tion be performed hastily orcarelc-sly the child soon learns to dread it; while on the other hand, if it is always asso ciated with a few p'casint words,n short fairy tale or something of the kind, tho operation will give pleasure to both of thu pa: ties concerned, and the beneiicial resu.ts will soon become apparent. A comb is an implement of doubtful utility in the nursery, and certainly one which is capable of doing as much harm as good. For purting the hair a coarse comb with blunt, rounded teeth may be used; b it for dealing with the inevita ble snarls which so often appear in the best regu'uted locks, a bnh. supple nientei by gentle lingers, should only be used. Under no consideration should a comb be allowed to come in contact with thu delicate sc dp of a child, and the use of a tine-toothed instrument of torture, such as was formerly in vogue, ought in this cuiightened ago to be relegated from the nursery to a chamlicr of hor rors ltti'iyhatil.
