If you consider the circumstances of
the case, it was the only thing that he
could do. But Pambe Serang had been
hanged by the nec till he is dead, and
nobody cares v bether he was right or
wrong.
Three years ago, when the EIsass-Lo-thringen

at Aden, and the weather was very hot
indeed, Nurkeed, the big fat Zanzibar
Btoker who fed the second right furnace

ashore. lie departed a "Seedee boy,"
as they call the stokers; he returned the
full blooded Sultan of Zanzibar his
Highness Sayyid Burgpsh with a bottle
in each band. Then he sat on the fi ra
hatch grating eating salt nh iindoniom
and singing the songi of a far country.
The food belonged to Panibe, the Sp
rang, or head man of the Lascar sailors.
He had just cooked it for himself,
turned to borrow some salt, and when
he came back Kurkeed's dirty black lin
gers were spading into the lie?. A se

a stoker, though the stoker draws better

When money failed, a kind gentleman
told Pambe to become a Christian; and
Panibe became one with great speed,

and Nurkeed thrust the en pty pewter
rice plate into Pamba's hau l. Pamb:
beat it into a basin over Nurkeed's
woolly head. Nurkeed drew his sheath
knife and stabbed Panibe in the leg.
Pambe drew his sheath knife; but Nur
keed dropped down into the darkness ol
the hold and spat through the grating at
Pambe, who was staining the foredeck
with his blood.
Only the big white moon saw th;s3
things; for the officers were looking
after the coaling and the passengers
were tofsing in their close cabins. "All
right, "said Panibe and went forward
to tie up his leg "we will settle tho ac
count Liter. " He was a Malay, born in
India, married once in Burmah, where
his wifa had a cigar shop on tho Shwe
Dagon road; once iu Singapore to a Chi
nese girl, and once in Madras, to a Mo
hammedan woman who sold fowls. The
English sailor can not, on ing to postal
and telegraph facilitiss, many so pro
fusely as he used to do; but native sail
ors can, being uninfluenced by the bar
barous inventions of tho Western sav
age. Pambe was a good husband when
he happened to remember the existence
of a wife; but he was also a very good
Malay, and it is not wise to offend a
Malay, because ho does not forget any
thing. Moreover, in Pambe's case blood
had been drawn and food spoiled. Next
morning Nurkeed rose with a blank
mind. He was no longer Sultan of Zan
zibar, but a very hot stoker. So he went
on deck and opened his jacket to the
morning breezs, till a sheath knife came
like a flying fish and stuck into the wood
work of the cook's galley, half an inch
from his right armpit He ran down
below before his time, trying to remem
ber what he could have said to the owner
of the weapon. At noon, when all the
ship's Lascars were feeding, Nurkeed
advanced into their midst, and baing a
placid man, with a large regard for his
own skin, he opened negotiations, say
ing: "Men of the ship, last night I was
drunk, and this morning I know that I
behaved unseemly to some one or an
other of you. Who was that man, that
I may meet him face to face and say
that I was drunk?"
Pambe mensured the distance to Nur
keed's naked breast if lie sprang at
him, he might be tripped up, and a blind
blow at the chest sometimes only means
a gash on the breast bone. Ribs are
difficult to thrust between, unless the
subject is asleep So he said nothing,
nor did the other Lascars. Their faces
immediately dropped all expression, as
M the custom of the Oriental lien there

one day he was roused from semi-stupor

kind gentleman; and going out he called,

Pambe beckoned with his left hand.
His right was under his pillow. Nur

stooped over Panibe till he could catch
a faint whisper. "How beautiful!" said
the kind gentleman: "how these Orien

"Spit him out," said Nurkeed, lean
ing over Pambe yet more closely.

Six Remarkable Poker Hands.
Rex" writes to the Boston IltrahL
At a social game of poker last night in
one deal, with six playing, the firm
man drew two cards and got a full
hand of three ntiocn and two nines.
The second uiuu drew one card and
got a flush of hearts. The third man
drew one card and filled a straight oi
kins high. The fourth man drew two
cards and got the four aces. The liftb
man drew three cards and got four
eights. . The sixth and lat man drew
two cards and got a straight Cush ol
spades with seven high. As these
were remarkable hands to come out io
ouedeal and all drew eard and no
pat handi, I thought you would like to
publish them, as it was without the
shadow of a doubt a straight deal.

Tlifl history of a certain American

The young son of a farmer in a small
town in Massachusetts had his hand
crushed in his father's cider mill and
being thus unfitted to gain his liveli
hood by farming was sent in due time
to the academy to commence a prep
aration lor n professional life. Ho
died a member of the United Hates
senate.
A l!oy who belonged to another branch
of tho same family in the vicinity of
Boston, cut his knee badly and was
long confined to the house. His kind
pastor supplied htm with books and
perceiving that he had a natural
aptitude for study taught him Latin
and finally induced his parents to send
him to college.
The young man was graduated at
Harvard and became a minister of the
gospel. One of his sons wa-i a genend
in the army of 1 H 1 2 ; another served
his country in congress.
The son who entered college bad six
sons who were college educated men
