Somo Stories About Sharks.
SOME twenty-five year ago, when the
writer was returning from China to
England, a ruensmrile of lila, a young
mldithlputnn, balling from Belfast, was
taken 111 of dysentery. The poor young
fellow battled long wlthr the fell disease,
but though he possessed a vigorous con
stitution, and as brave a heart as any
man I ever knew, he could not shake it
oir. During the last ten days of hla
Illness It had been remarked that a huge
shark followed the ship continuously;
the Ill-omened creature was first seen
over the counter, ou the same side of
the ship where was the cabin in which
young II lay dying, and indeed Just
below it. Every one saw it; and o di
cers and men had only to lean over the
rail, and look long enough, and a dim,
shadowy form could be seen moving
stealthily deep down in the calm sea.
Sometimes it disappeared for hours ; and
a hope waa expressed that it bail tftken
itself off. "But no," said one of the
quartermasters, an ancient mariner,
who had passed fifty years at sea, "the
shark would not leave until it had got
what it had come for;" and the old salt
jerked his head to one side to denote
what he meant. The shark became the
subject of dally discourse, both in the
forecastle and on the quarter-deck, and
its appearances were regularly chron
icled. Sometimes it rose near the sur
face, and then it sunk low down, and
looked more horrible in the deep still
ness of the unfathomable sea. All this
lime the weather remained very calm,
and we had scarcely any wind, though
at night it Beemed freshened, only to die
away in the morning.
At length II died, after much suf
fering and a brave struggle against a
hard fate. Within a few hours after his
death this fine young fellow was buried
with all the tokens of respect we could
command.
That morning the Bhark wbb seen at
his accustomed place under the counter,
but after the funeral he was seen no
more, and no one on board the Bhlp,
either forward or aft, could after this
gainsay the observation of the old quar
termaster: " I told you, Bir, he knew
there was a dying man aboard us. You'll
see no more of him ; he's got what he
wanted."
Entertaining this view, it is not sur
prising that sailors regard the capture
of a shark as an act of retributive justice;
for even though the victims that have
fallen into their hands may not have
feasted on a live or dead seaman which
Is extremely unlikely, as they never
miss a chance of devouring human flesh
yet they look upon him as the repre
sentative of his race, and "serve him
out" accordingly.
For several days some sharks had
followed a Bhlp oft' the Brazil coast, and,
notwithstanding every effort, the crew
could not succeed in catching one. At
length a shark suddenly made a snatch
at the bait, and was soon plunging and
lashing his tall in a most furious -manner,
as he found that he had got more
than he bargained for. It was evident
that he had taken the hook, and was so
far secured, but still he was but half
caught as soon appeared. The men on
deck "clapped on" to the line, and very
Boon the creature was alongside, but he
plunged and lashed about so furiously
that it was found impossible to land him
on the deck until he had somewhat
exhausted his immense strength. To
assist in effecting this the mate proposed
to harpoon him, and in the absence of a
proper instrument took the boat hook,
to which he attached a line. After a
few attempts the mate succeeded in
plunging the boat hook in the fore part
of the back, when the shark by a pro
digious effort succeeded In snapping the
line, ami, freeing himself from the hook,
made off with the boat hook sticking
like a flag staff out of his back. He
remained in Bight some little time, evi
dently feeling very uneasy, and then dis
appeared ; but whether he succeeded in
disengaging 'himself from his unwonted
appendage'oould not be ascertained.
The shark is so voracious that in pur
suing its prey it will leap out of the
water, and It also feeds oil its own
species. It has been said that on cutting
open sharks smaller ones have been
found inside ; for this I cannot vouch
from personal observation, though I
have seen a very miscellaneous collec
tion of articles extracted from the stom
ach, such as towels, tooth-brushes, shoes,
half a newspaper, and a ropes end. The
-shark will devour anything, and may
'be regarded as the scavenger of the sea,
thus performing the same office as the
vultures on land.
The shark produces Its young from a
sort of egg, the shell of which is brown,
and resembles leather ; the egg is oblong
shape, with tendrils curling from its
corners. When the term of hatching is
fulfilled, the end of the case is pushed
out by the young shark, which meas
ures seven or eight inches In length.
The flesh Is seldom eaten, even by Bailors
whose fare for months has been nothing
but salt meat ; the flavor is unpalatable,
and the texture tough and fibrous. 1 The
Icelanders use the fat, which oan be
kept for a long time, in place of lard,
and eat It up with the prepared fish.
The liver affords a good deal of oil, and
in Greenland the skin is used in the
construction of canoes. Sharks' teeth
are frequently dug up In fossil remains,
and specimens have been found of
which the euameled portlou was four
and a half Inches in length, from whence
a geologist has calculated that the shark
which owned this tooth must have ex
ceeded seventy feet in length.
In the year 1831 an American ship
named the " Olympus," anchored off
the Island of Bourbon, in the Indian
Ocean, and some of the sailors obtained
permission to go ashore and enjoy a
walk after the day's work. Night was
coming on, and the quartermaster on
duty, tempted to indulge in a bath by
the tranquility of the scene and the
delicious coolness of the water, undress
ed and jumped overboard from the gang
way. The quartermaster was a good
I swimmer, anu was soon some instance
from tne snip, oblivious or danger. But
the cook, a negro, who was sitting in
the main-chains .cooling himself after
his hot day's duty, chanced to espy the
fin of a shark which was swimming
near the surface of the water on the
other side of the ship to that on which
his shipmate waB disporting himself.
Ills first impulse, after making sure
what it was (for so large was the size
that he thought It must be a plank),
was to call and warn him of his danger,
but it seemed he wisely determined not
to do so lest the news might paralyze
him with terror. So he quickly warned
some of the sailors, and In little more
than two minutes a small dingy sus
pended at the davits was lowered into
the water, and the crew were pulling
with might and main toward their
comrade
Whether it was that only now the
shark caught sight of the man in the
water, or the noise of thi boat attracted
his attention in that direction, the huge
fish turned and made toward the quar
termaster, who, still unconscious of the
fearful danger menacing him, continued
to swim away with redoubled energy,
as the quick click of the rowlocks
warned him of the approach of his ship
mates. Reticence would now have
been misplaced, as, unless he was res
cued within a few seconds, all would be
over with him.
" Williams," shouted out the cock
swain, "there are sharks near you; be
quick get Into the boat, as you value
your life."
Apprehending at leugth the full hor
ror of his position, the quartermaster
turned to the little boat, where alone
was safety, and being a powerful swim
mer, was boou alongside. But the Bhark
was upon him. "Quick! quick 1"
shouted his shipmates, while the bow
man, glancing over his shoulder, threw
in his oar, and quick as thought, Jump
ed up, boat hook In hand, to try and
help the struggling seaman.
" Way enough," shouted the cock
swain, as the boat, Impelled by strong
arms, shot almost over the quartermas
ter, who, after a final effort, extended
his arms to sleze the gunwhale of the
boat, while two of the crew leaned over
on the Bide In order to help him out.
But the shark was not thus easily balk
ed of its anticipated prey, as it was near
enough to make its venture, darted half
out of the water, exposing its prodigious
strength, and turned over on its side,
opened its cadaverous jaws. At that
moment, when all appeared lost, the
bowman, exerting all his strength (and
it so happened that he waa the most
powerful man in his ship), plunged the
boat hook right into the mouth of the
animal, which writhing in agony, fell
back into the water, and snapped the
weapon in two. Turning upon the boat
in its fury, it lashed it with its tail with
such terrific force that it staved it for
ward. The sailors had just time to
draw in their shipmate, wrren they be
came aware of the new danger menac
ing all of them. The boat began to fill,
when deliverance came from another
quarter. Their cries for h,elp, (which,
owing to the calmness of the evening,
were audible a great distance,) attracted
the attention of the crew of a schooner
near the land, who quickly lauuehed
their long-boat, and made toward them.
The shark, lashing the water with
fury and pain, appeared determined to
exact revenge, and remained near the
spot, awaiting 1U prey; but it was
again balked, for just as the little dingey
was settling fast by the head, the friend
ly long-boat arrived upon the scene.
The crew, with Williams, were taken
out of the sinking craft, and were soon
on their way back to the ship, rejoicing
in their escape from a horrible death.
THE SPY'S STORY.
" WEVJ'
T T when
now, tell us, old friend,
hen scouting inside the ene
my's lines, did anybody ever detect you
its a Confederate spy V"
"Never. But I was mighty near
being caught up once, and the ouly way
I escaped was by being mistook for my
brother Jlin." Here the smile on hla
face spread into a broad grin, and he
chuckled as his mind went back to the.
serlo-comlclcal adventure. Tom Wood,
or " Uncle Tommy," as he was known
in General Lee's camp, had never been
wltli the army in Flanders, but he had
learned their habits all the same, and
was perhaps as wicked a hunter as ever
shouldered a rifle,
" But I'll tell you about how I liked
to have been caught. It was late in
December, and it occurred to me that I
would take my Christmas frollo by
making a little scout out to my home In
Randolph county. We were camped at
the Warm Springs, and had nothing to
do in camp and I felt lonesome like.
As Christmas drew ou, I got to think
ing about my old woman and the chil
dren at borne. They were away Inside
the lines of the enemy, and I thought
that Christmas would be more like
Christmas to them If I could unexpect
edly drop down among them. So I
shouldered old gun and away I went,
out through Pocahontas and down into
Randolph. I got along first rate on my
way out; saw no Federals; slipped
around their pickets, saw my family,
and after enjoying myself for a season,
started back,
" Of course I kept out of the way of
all the settlements and stuck to the
mountains. I Btopped at nobody's house
unless I knew them to be true-blue
Southerners. One night I came to the
Greenbriar, and just as dark came on a
heavy sleet set in. I was cold, tired and
hungry ,and the only house where I could
find shelter was the home of old Billy
Johnson, whom I knew to be the most
ultra Union man in all that region. I
had no personal acquaintance with him,
and didn't think that he had ever seen
me, so I concluded to risk myself under
his roof that night anyway. It was my
purpose to give him a fictitious name,
for I felt pretty Bure that if he discover
ed that I was Tom Wood, the rebel
scout, I would not live to see daylight.
Mustering up courage, and helped along
by the wet and cold, I sought refuge
under Johnson's roof and was hospita
bly received. While sitting by the fire
warming myself, Johnson kept looking
into my face earnestly, when all at once
he rose from his seat, approached, and
standing directly in front of me, says :
Ain't your nama Wood V
" Here was a poser, and I thought I
was caught. I knew that if he recog
nized me it would do no good to He
about it, so I owned up and said that
was my name. Well,' said he, 'this is
Brother Jimmy Wood, ain't it V
" This relieved me. You see he mis
took me for brother Jim, aud seeing
how it was, I humored the mistake,
though Jim is a blasted sight uglier
man nor me. You see, Jim is a Metho
dist and a leader in the church, and so
is Johnson, and that's how he called me
'Brother Wood.' And then he sat
down and talked over old times and the
camp-meeting in the hills, and I was
willing he should do most of the talk
ing. " I got along very well until we sat
up to supper, when Johnson called on
me to say grace. I had done many a
hard day's work ; had been on many a
lung scout, have been in some mighty
hard fights; but I tell you honestly,
boys, the hardest and hottest work I
ever done was to get out that blessing in
a genteel way. At bed time Brother
Johnson put the Bible on the stand,
snuffed the candle and asked me to lead
in family worship. I read a chapter in
the book, and kneeling down offered up
the first prayer of my life, not forgetting
to pray for the restoration of the Union
and the destruction of its enemies.
Maybe it was answered. I had a good
night's rest, and when I left in the
morning felt better than I ever felt in
my yfe. In fact, boys, I believe It does
a man good to pray a little once in a
while, even if he is forced to it. I mean
to do more of it hereafter."
Wanted Him a Comet.
Young Mr. Latehours was sittino; on
the porch the other night watching a
seventeen year old girl trying to keep
awake long enough to see the morning
star rise. They talked astronomy. " 1
wish I was a star," he said, smiling at
his own poetic fancy.
" I would rather you were a comet,"
she said dreamily.
His heartbeat tumultously.
"And why," he asked tenderly, at
the same time taking her unresisting
little hands in his own ; "and why V" he
repeated imperiously.
"Oh," she said with a brooding
earnestness that fell upon bis soul like a
bare foot on,Aald oilcloth, "because
then you wouUsily come around once
every 1,500 years I"
He didn't say anything until be was
half way to the front gate, when he
turned around and shook his fist at the
house and muttered between bis teeth
that "by the dads, it would be a thun
dering sight longer than that before he
came around again." But by that time
the poor girl was in bed and sound
asjeep.
D. LOTHROPt CO.'S NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The list of publications which D.
IiOthrop & Co. lias prepared for the fall
and holiday season is longer and more
attractive than ever before, and will
appeal strongly to that class of buyers
who demand good lnsides as well as
beautiful outsldes to the book which
are to He upon their tables or rill their
shelves. No publishers in the country
pay stricter attention to the character
of the works they issue than the Messrs.
Lothrop, and the result is that in their
entire catalogue of one thousand differ
ent titles, there Is not a stupid book, an
uninteresting book, or a book which
does not serve some useful purpose, The
parent or teacher can select from It In
perfect confidence, and commend the
catalogue to the attention of all who are
buying for home or school libraries.
Besides the entirely new books, new
editions have been made of some of the
more Important of. those in last year's
list. Those who purchase for general
reading will find a rich field from which
to choose. In standard stories there is
nothing better than the books of Ella
Far man, Pansy, and Julia A. Eastman
all bright, full of life, and entertaining.
Til rifi 4 Ii nrn a w 4Vn aIiviAkI' nnn r 4 Inon
" Series" and ' Libraries." Of tho latter
the most important is the new Fircnide -.
Library, consisting of 100 volumes care-
fully selected from the entire list, and
intended to form a perfect home library.
The selections are graduated to suit - the
tastes and needs of the entire f.tm)!,.
from the oldest readers down to the little
tot who Is just beginning to pick out her
letters. The price of the library puts It
within the reach of most people, and
even when one does not feel like bearing
the whole expense, half a dozen families
can easily club together for its purchase.
Of the lesser libraries there are The
JJusny Willow, the Sparc Minute, the
George MaeDonald, and a multitude of
others whose names can be learned from
the catalogue.
One of the most charming holiday
volumes of the year will be Mrs. Aman
da B. Harris's How We Went Mirth'.
Nesting, elegantly printed on heavy
paper, with wide margins, and Illustrat
ed ly twelve superb full page drawing
by G. F. Barnes. The binding will be
in harmony with its contents, and alto
gether it promises to be the book of the
season. Another beautiful volume will
be the second in the American Artist
Series, brought out in the same style as
the first. It will contain forty-six illus
trations. Still another is The New Eng
land Story Book, made up of representa
tive stories by popular New England!
authors, richly illustrated and bound.
Clara Doty Bates, an indefatigable
worker for the children, presents a
charmingly written story, leart's Con

George F. Barnes has a series of Nursery
Tiles consisting of 24 original drawings,
bound in oblong quarto form, with
directions for coloring, and there is a
new volume of Babyland,a bright and
attractive covers.
More attention, perhaps, la paid to the
very little children than to their elders
in the way of providing for them fasci
nating stories and illustrated literature.
Some of the issues of the Messrs. Loth
rop are perfect marvels of beauty In out
ward appearance, while some of our
most popular authors contribute their
best work for the delight of tbo little
men and women of the family.
A new edition of Pansy's Picture Bor.k

story by the popular English writer,
Eliza Meteyard ; The Sisters of Olencoe,
a remarkably powerful story ; a fresh
Pansy book, A New Graft on the Fanu

pens, richly and beautifully Illustrated.
Fannie Roper Feudge's India, the
initial volume in Lothrop's Library of
Entertaining History, claims attention,
and so, too,in a marked degree, does True
Manliness, the fourth volume in the
Spare Minute Series. It is made up
from gems of thought selected from the
works of Thomas Hughes, the author of
Schooldays at Rugby, and contains an
introduction from the pen of James
Russell Lowell, and an autobiographical
sketch by Mr. Hughes.
Of the books which boys and glrla
never tire of reading are Johnny's JU
coveries, by Adam St win, and Pour
Feet, Wings, and Pins, by Mrs. Ander-son-Maakell.
Each of these may be
had in three volumes or one. Overhead
is another volume of the same kind, and
is commended by Prof. Waldo of Har

published for teachiug young pupils
lessons in astronomy.
The gift-books issued by this house
