It is asserted by friends of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, that if his absence of mind could be cut into strips and pasted together, end for end, it would reacli twice around illimitable space and tie in a double bow knot. Out on the slope they used to tell a story of how he was hasten ing one. morning to catcli a train, when he suddenly stopped and said to his com panion : " There, by thunder, I've left my watch under my pillow." " Let's go back and get it." said his friend. " Hold on," replied ilic Senator, " I don't believe we'll have tine," and he drew the watch from his pocket, looked CJiefully at the face of it, counted the moments,and added; "No, we won't have time," and pressed on toward the station, saying : " Ob, well. 1 guess I can get along for a day without a watch." It is also related that Senator Stewait dressed lmnself at a hotel; one morning, putting his vest on wrong side out, and in a few moments presented himself at the office excitedly rubbing the places when: the pockets ought to be and com plaining that he had been robbed. It might have been believed that tiiese tales were works of imagination had not the Senator himself, one day this week, given teslimony to their truth. The clerk of the Senate was monotonously calling the roll on some question in which Sena tor Stewart was not interested. The Sena tor sat Willi his elbows on his desk, his checks upon his bauds mid his eyes lixetl upor. vacancy, whither his mind had gone. "Nr. Stewart," the clerk called. There was a moment of silence. Sen ator Stewart continued to look at nothing. " Mr. Stewart." the clerk called sgain, but Mr. Stewart did not bear him. A brother Senator sitting near reached over and toiicm d hint. The light of con sciousness was just returning to the dreamer's eyes when the clerk shouted once more • "Mr. Stewart!" " I pas-," said the Senator from Nevada. —AVir Yutk Sun. I'AN A MICHIGAN Alt II ITU ATI O.N, The Pat -American Congress, the iir.i poriatice of the 1 .hors of which was so much dwelt on before it met, has, after s.'vcral mouths of debate, finally ad journed. It has discussed international coinage, tariff and free trade, and sub sidies, and many other topics of interest and importance, but lias arrived at few practical retina. The delegates were indeed powerless to bind their respective governments conclusively to auy course of action, but it was thought that the convention might come to positive an 1 practically unanimous conclusions on many points on which the various governments would, as a matter of fact, ratify its judgment. Such, however, has r.ot. been the fact. But on tic subject ot iuternatioml arbitration—a subject on which it : s Certain y very easy for all the Status of this hemisphere to agree at this day— the convention lias spoken with con siderable vigor and practical un inimity, although the resolutions, which refer only to the acquisition of territory and not to other grounds of international dispute, might well baye beeu made more broad. > They are as follows: First.—That the;principle ot conquest shall not, during the continuance of the treaty, be recognized as admissible under American pub lic law. Second.—That all cessions of territory made during the continuance of the Treaty of Arbitra tion shall be void If made under threats of war or< the presence of an armed force, • Third.—Any nation from which such cessions &hall lie exacted may demand that the validity /of the cessions made shall be submitted to arbi tration. Fourth.—Any renunciation of the right of nr < bltratlon made under the conditions named In the second section shall be null and void. Those conditions are under threats of war or the pres ence of armed force. But limited as is the scope of Ihesc res olutions, their moral influence will be good. There is no longer any danger that we shall attempt to seize by force the land of any of our neighbors, but some of the South American Stales—as Chili, whose delegates refused to approve these resolutions —aie still eager for lai ger territories, and the spirit manifested i by the convention cannot fail to carry some weight. For the delicate and nged and all in whom the vital current is impovished and sluggish, Aycr's Barsaparilla is the very best tonic. It restores the wasted tissues, and imparts to the system surprising elasticity and vigor. Price sl. Worth $5 a bottle. WHILE THE FLOWER CREPT. I leaned o'er a casket, sraaU apd wfcUs,.

Katu Tari'ito.Bonof the great King Tui Katubua, dwelt, in Viti Levu, which some call Fiji. He was in stature like to the tree nibaka, and a light shone in liis young eyes, so that his presence could be known at night, canoe si>ed with the wind; ids dancing in the war dance brought forth a great shout from the people; his arm broke apart the strongest breakers, and men called him "The King's Arrow." Now when the meke was ended that they had danced on the eighteenth birth day of liatu Tanilo, Katubua called his pen to him and said: "My son, shall my line end with you?" Hutu Tanito answered: "Not so, inv father, for I will marry." Then the king said: "Ratu Tanito, choose aw ife, observing these three re quirement..: First, that she be young; second, that she lie strong, and third, that she he obedient." "My father," replied the young man, "is it not also a requirement that she be beautiful?' The king answered: "Obedience is beauty." "Tni Viti," said Itatu Tanito, "I have chosen a wife. She is young, for she was born on the day I first stood erect. Siie is strong, for she can abide the grasp of my hand without flinching. She is obedient, for she has honored her pa rents. And she is beautiful as the day and lovely as the night. When I see her my heart is as a basin in which the springs surge hotly u)i and fall back in tumult." "Who is the maiden?" said the king. "Her name is Ekesa." the youth re plied. ' She dwells in Vanua Levu, and is the daughter of Savenaka, its king." "Hav you spoken to her of love?" the king tisl cd. "I'o." aid Itatu Tanito. "(' > :ul speak with her concerning her )■: i-nts." said the king. Tui K.'.tubua having thus commanded, Itatu 'unito departed by night in his canoe to Yauua Levu. And on a day he returned and his brow was clear; and be came before the long and said: "Tui Viti, I have performed your commands and have spoken with the Maiden Kkesa concerning her parents." The king, received the words of Itatu Tanito and, looking on his son, said: "Abide now with me and at the end of seven days go again to the maiden and speak with her concerning war and com bats with the shark." And Ratu Tan ito did as lie was commanded and re turned with a clear brow and said: "My father, I have done according to your commands." And again the king commanded him to abide for seven days, and returning to the maiden to speak with her concerning the gods. And it was done as lie com manded. Then said Tui Katubua, "Go now, my 6011, and speak with the maiden con cerning tlie government of men." And Ratu Tariito departed and came to Vanua Lcvu. But when he returned thence his brow was clouded and his eyes were angry, and us he reached his father's presence ho stepped with a tinu step. "So now, my son," said the king, "your canoehasmet with a mischance and lias been dashed against a rock." "Not so," the young man replied, "my canoe is save, oh, father." "1 grieve, oh. my son," said the fa ther, "that your safe departure has been opposed by the king of Vanua Levu, and that lie has sought to make you a pris oner, for our vengeance will fall heavily 011 his people." "Savenaku, king of Vanua Levu, has nowise impeded my departure from his island," said the youth, "nor has he known of my presence there." "And yet anger sits above your eyes," said the old king. Then Ratu Tanito composed his fea tures and said to his father: "Forget, my father, that I have given way to an ger because of a trifle. Ekesa, the maid en of whom I spoke, hag said a foolish thing, and, recollecting it, my spirit was disturbed." " And what said the maiden?" "Truly, she is of opinion that women are of equal spirit and understanding with men, and should divide the govern ment of human affairs with them. 1 think such were her words, but of a verity I heard not certainly, being much provoked, and having driven my foot against a root as we walked." "Then you have quareled with the maiden? " said Tui Katubua. "No," said Ratu Tanito, "I am not a woman. 1 forbore to answer her and after she had spoken for a time, and had sworn she would marry no man who held himself her superior, I left her." Then said Tui Katubua: "Go now, ray son, and take war canoes, and fetch Ekesa before me." "The king commands," said Ratu Tanito. "But father, I no longer wish to marry the girl; and the gods forbid that she should come to harm at my hands!" "No harm shall come to her," said Katubua. "Do you as I command." Accordingly, Ratu Tanito took war canoes and went to Vanua Levu and bore away Ekesa by force. And returning to Viti Levu he brought her before his father, who sat in state, surrounded by sis chiefs and priests. And seeing this srray about her, as though to judge her, Ekesu's eye flushed and she JoLoifid, .de fiantly at King Katubua. "Mighty mon arch," she cridfl, "do not fear me; do not surround youfseif with your chiefs. I mean you no harm, and indeed have cotuefliere against my will, lining brought a prisoner by this youth, one of your, people. Set me free, and chastise hiui, and my father, Savenaka, will thauk you and be your brother." "It. is ray son. Ratu Tanito, who brings you here," said Katubua. "Are you Ratu Tanito?' cried the prin cess, turning to the young man. And alio exclaimed with double force: "Then you are the great traitor!" . "Maiden," said King Katubua, "be as sured. No barm shall befall you. Yet it lias come to our ears that in Vanua Leva the women are the equal of the men. and as this seems a strange thing to us we have desired to see it tested, and especially to inquire whether the women of Vanua Levu are the equals of the men in Vili Levu. For that reason we have sent to bring you here. And we will propose to you three tests which, if you answer rightly and justly, you shall depart home in safety and we will offer you gifts; and, moreover, you shall lead my son home with you to be your slave, as a reparation for the wrong done you. This 1 swear to you, and he shall compete with you in the tests." Whereat the princess cried out. "He is ignorant what they are to be," said the king. " 'Tis a fair match. Be hold, he is as much surprised as you are." "And if —if I lose?" said Ekesa. "You shall marry him," said the king. Than thokingsaid: "Princess, are you ready for the first test?" "But," said Ekesa, "I have not yet ac cepted your conditions." "Ratu Tanito," said the king, "behold your wife." "Nay!" cried the'princess, "I am in your power. Propose to ine your tests anil let your son prepare for a life of slavery." Katubua thereupon caused two turtle's eggs to he laid ljefore the princess and said: "Maiden, of these two eggs which will bring forth a male turtle and which a female? This is the first test that we propose to you." At this the princess crossed her arms upon her breast anil laughed scornfully. "This is a test of folly, not of wisdom," she said. "Not all the men in the world could declare of which of these two eggs should Is l horn a male turtle anil which a female." But Ratu Tanito stepped forward quickly and took the eggs into his hand and crushed them. "Of neither." he said. Then Katubua said: "Maiden, though in truth the question seemed idle, yet the youth is right, for a man must know when to net." Next there were brought forth two bowls, each covered with atuatof woven grass. And Kulubuu said: "This is the second test. Of those two howls choose that which is full of water." Ekesa trembled, hut quickly stretched out her hand ami laid it on the nearest bowl, saying, "This is it." "Choose you, now." said the king to Ratu Tanito. But Ratu Tanito crossed Ins arms upon his breast and said. "Not so; for who shall say that both how Is are not empty?" Then the king drew away the mats of woven grass and both bowls were empty. "Maiden," said Katubua, "the youth is right, for a man should know when to speck." Then Ekesa bit her lip and said: "You juggle with me." "Yet," said Katulma. "the youth has detected our jugglery, i.ut here is the third test and perhaps you will still win him for a slave Win li loves a child Wet ter. his father or she who bote him?" Ekesa's eves (lashed, and she drew her self up. "Of a truth, she who bore him," she cried. Ratu Tanito turned and looked upon the girl, and slowly there came into his flashing eyes a tender light, but he did not speak. At this Ekesa called to the king: "Tui Viti, lie does not speak!" "And he is right," said the king. "For a man should know when to he silent." Then Ekcsa stamped her foot and cried aloud in bitterness: "It was a trap! You have warned him what answers he should make and have plotted between you to shame me! Shame rather on you, Tui Katubua!" Ilatii Tanito strode to her side and caught her by the wrist and said: "Go hack to your people. I will none of you. You have dishonored my father. Go hack to your people. Make away there for the princess," ho shouted to the crowd. "Make a canoe ready and set her on the shores of Vanua Levu." But Ekesa's eyes fell and she did not move; only stood in her place trembling. Then Katubua said: "Ekesa, my daughter, the Philosopher Ravoniza lias asked: "When should a woman disobey her husband?" And Ekesa lifted lier tearful eyes and answered: "Never, oh, my father, save when ho bids her leave him." And of the union of Ekesa and of Ratu Tanito was horn the great king Ratu Cakau, whom men called the Seat of Justice, and also Vunivalu, tlio Root of War.—Philadelphia Times. Price, of Turkish Slave. There are actually at Stamhoul about ninety regular slave dealers who buy and sell slaves, or who are the medium of buying or selling. The slaves are lodged in houses known by the public, just as they know the dealers in any Bort of merchandise. The principal slave houses are about thirty. An Abyssinian maiden from 14 to 17 is worth from 60 to 120 liras (a lira is worth about $4.50), but a handsome otie is sure to bring 800 liras (about $1,330). White slaves (Tcherkes) are more abundant. Maidens from 12 to 15 are quoted from 60 to 300 liras, and those from 10 to 20 from 60 to 1,000 liras. The price varies according to beauty, size, complexion and accomplishments. Singers and mu sicians generally bring a good price.— London News. LOST IN NEW YORK BAY. j It was just after New Year's day, about twenty-four yean ago, and New York city was then full of seafaring men, who had servo i in the volunteer navy, and | many of whom had even carried muskets > in the army. American shipping had beep, so to J speak, run off the' high seas, and even : the packet ships-=-that is, many of them —flew the English flag, although they were'owned in New.York as much as in Liverpool. Sailor Town, as the Fourth and part of the Seventh wards of New York were styled then, was full of sailors' boarding houses, many of them places of dreadful repute, wherein Jack was taken to live On his return from sea, fleeced and shang haied—that is, placed insensible on board of an outward bound ship, without any money and with very little wardrobe in his canvas bag. There were a few, a very few, reputa ble sailors' boarding houses there, and the safest place for a mariner ashore was assuredly the Sailors' Home, at No. 100 Cherry street, which had been conducted on the most excellent plan, under the admirable guidance of Capts. Walford and Richardson, who were connected with the directorate of the Seaman's Savings bank. The "Home" at the time of which I speak was full of sailors, some of whom ' were in arrears in their board and most of whom were down to their last dollar. Nevertheless they were well treated, for they were, as a rule, sober men, de sirous of seeking employment and will ing to go to sea if they could get a ship. Among the hoarders were three men, Isaac Reed, an elderly Englishman who had fought the Merrimac in the first Monitor; Harry Elliott, a curly headed lad from Newburyport, Mass., who had just felt that he could "ship" as an able seaman, for he bad turned 21, and had been seven years a mariner; and the third was a Spaniard named Antonio, who had sailed out of the United States so long that lie was very jealous of his citizenship and took great care of an old American "protection" a document similar to that with which all foreign horn stamen in American vessels were , furnished to protect them from being held for military or naval service in their own countries in Europe when they went thither from American ports. These three men were typos of the sea men of that day. They had been filled with the importance of the victories gained by Farragut, and as they hailed from the "States" themselves, were very anxious to obtain berths together, on board of an American ship if possible, or an English one if it must be. Day after day they had struggled from siiippin.- i ft;co to shipping oflice along South > in quest of employment. And d; T day they returned to the Sailors' I: to at No. 190 dejected and disappointed. They had been ashore for more than three months, all their money was gone and thej v erc gradually getting deeper and deeper in debt to the managers of the Home, who, it must be noted, were very lenient with worthy men. Night after night the three poor fel lows sat together in the smoking room conversing in low tones about their wan derings and the morrow's prospects, and night after night they went into prayers and listened to the sweet voices of the young ladies of the managers' families singing the good old fashioned penny royal tunes that Downeasters loved to hear. At last, about the latter end of Janu ary, the three sailors sallied forth one morning determined to take anything that might present itself, and they crossed over to Brooklyn, where a lot of English vessels were moored, almost ready for sea, in the Atlantic dock basin. They boarded a brig called the Elliott, because the name attracted Harry El liott's attention, and he said: "Men, this looks like luck. She's a juicer, but that makes no difference, ller name's the same as mine. Who knows but there may he a berth for one or more of us on her?" Over the side went the three sailors, ami they spoke to the mate, a Scotch man, and learned from him that the cap tain was going to ship a crew the very next day, as the brig was ready for sea. While the lads were conversing with the mate, the captain came down the quay and over the gangway. The work of in troduction and explanation did not take long, and the captain being pleased that these sailors boarded at the "Home" and could not therefore be "packet rats"—a class of voyageur much feared by all reputable skippers because of their habits and lack of seamanship—bade them come up to the British consul, No. 15 Broad way, the next day and sign articles. The three seamen returned to the "Home" that night with light hearts and a prospect of half a month's advance apiece, which would enable them to pay a part, at least, of their overdue board bills and save their good names with the kind managers. To make a long story short, the three men. Heed, Elliott and Antonio, were shipped, and attended the last prayer meeting at the Sailors' Home on Feb. 4, as they were to haul the brig out and se.il on the morrow. The old man and his mates thanked the good lady superintendent of the "Home," after prayers that night, for her kindness to them, and they promised to bring her a lot of "curios" when they returned. "And should we not return, we will expect to meet you on the other side sometime. But if our lives are spared, you will see us here again, and we will not forget the curios." There was a sad and wistful look in the faces of the men as they left the Home, though for a long time they had been looking forward to an engagement to sail. Did they feel a foreboding that their voyage might not end happily? No one can tell. Next morning the brig Elliott was j hauled out below Buttermilk channel I and towed down through the Narrows, while the crew rigged out her jibboom, aet up her topmasts and bent her sails. : Before she reached Fort Wadsworth the crew were able to make sail, which ! they did not do until the vessel got over the bar and just outside.the "station boat," as the pilot boat waits to receive pilots from outward bound ves sels is ealred. . The tugboat had left, rfail liad been i made on the brig, and she began to ! gather • way. under a heavy northerly ' breeze, t '■ ' The jvieather at this time, about 4 p. m., looked Very unpropjtious and lower ing, and ,thq brig to for the yawl f robi the statiob boat to take the pilot oIT wbqn, as the maiu topsail w;is llat bpek against the mast, the forward yards braced the other way, a squall from 'north-northeast struck the vessel and nearly threw her on her beam ends. There was no time to be lost. She was rapidly gathering Stern way, and was in imminent danger. The pilot forgot his station boat in the immediate peril, shouted to the man at the wheel to shift his helm so as to bring the brig grouiid on her keel, and then gave the brders to swing the mainyard, lower the : topsail yards down on the caps, haul out the reef tackles, to haul up the mainsail and foresail, run down the jib and clew doiyn the head of the spanker so as.to get the brig under easy working sail. She careened over until her lee scup pers were under water, and the wind blew so hard that the topsails would not run down, lior the jib obey the force upon the downhaul. In a few minutes the whole face of na ture had changed. A blinding snow storm obscured the Jersey shore outside the Hook as completely as a fog, and ves sels to windward were only dimly out lined through the biting flakes. Where had the pilot boat gone? Nobody on board the brig had stopped to ask, fur night was setting down rap idly on the waters and the storm was raging with all its might, the wind veer ing and varying every half hour between north and east-northeast, so that tiie brig, which had not got into "ship shape," with its spare spars, water casks and chain cable loose on deck, adding to the dillicitlties of the situation and the momentarily increasing dangers, was al most unmanageable. The crew, though good seamen, no doubt, with the exception of the three men from the Sailors' Home, did not know each other, and, naturally, did not work well together, and the officers had no knowledge of the capacities of their men. so that they could not order them about with surety. "Lay aloft and double reef the foretop sail," shouted the Scotch captain, acting as first officer for the pilot, who had now taken the wheel, fearful lest the brig should go on the shore under lier lee, over which the rollers were thundering and leaping scarcely a cable's length away. As this order was given another squall struck the brig, and she heeled over as if she would certainly capsize. But the pilot swept her to windward, shivered lier foreyard and brought her up shaking .and trembling like a scared bird in the trough of the sea, while all hands, cook, captain, boys and steward, tried to clew down the topsail yards, haul out the reef tackles, and spill the wind out of the sails by hauling taut the buntlines. "Up, now, men," shouted the captain, "and reef the maintopsail. You can manage that easiest. Goosewing the foretopsail while it is aback," be shouted to the second mate, "and haul the head of the spanker out to keep her steady." Efforts, with more or less success, were made to obey all these orders. But the foretopsail split as soon as the sheet was started, and the jib, which could , not be pulled down the stay, was in rib- bons. Still the fort-topmast staysail, the spanker and the main topsail held on, while the brig plunged and labored and snorted in the sea liko a terrified horse. The men mounted to the topsail yard. The iirst man outside the lift to the "weather reef earring was Antonio. "Luff up, and shake her! Light out to windward!" he shouted to the deck and to the men inside him on the yard. Even as he spoke the brig "broached to," the heavy sail flapped, and, as it filled for ward again with the gale, it tore Antonio from the yard as he held on to the leacli and hurled him far ahead into the sea. He disappeared forever. His requiem was the faint alarm, "Man overboard!" unheard on deck, and the thunderous explosion of the topsail itself, which was blown clean out of the holt ropes hv another squall which struck the now seemingly doomed vessel. "Comedown from aloft! Comedown!" shrieked the captain and pilot to the un fortunate men on the topsail yard,which was being whipped and lashed by the strips of the torn canvas of the bursted sail. The poor fellows tried to do so. Those from the weather side succeeded. Only one of those on the lee yardarm reached the deck in safety. Two had been cut and slashed by the strips of wet, frozen canvas and literally beaten off the yard into the dark, seething waters careering to the Jersey beach a few hundred yards away. These two were Elliott and Heed! Before 10 o'clock that night the wind went down. Next morning the brig cast anchor in the Horseshoe. But the three sailors who two nights before had prayed with, parted and promised to return with many curios for the superindendent's wife of the Sailors' Home, No. 98 Cherry street, lay fathoms deep beneath the waters of the lower bay, drowned in that one day's cruise of the Elliott.—R.
