A PIRATE’S FITTING END.
Th«* BtrwilXir L’Olonnoi* Wan Tortured 1
to I>«*ath by Indian*. ,
Iu St. Nicholas, iu bis series of
■ketcln s of '‘The Buccaneer* of Our
Coast,” Mr. Frauk K. M < kton tells of
the adventures of L'Olomiois, the
Ft tichiu.m While coiisi in/’ •»• < t.g Hnn
duus L’Olonnois ran his ve„.,el ashore
Mr. Stockton says:
Ah it was impossible to get their
great vessel ufT the sand bunks the pi
rn! • set to work to break her up and
build a boat out of her planks. But
when they began tho work they had no
idea it would take so long to build a
bout. It wns months before the un
wieldy cralt was finished, and they oc
cupied part of the time iu gardening,
planting French beans, which were ripe
in about six weeks, and gave them some
fresh vegetables They also had Nome
ol the ship's stores, and made bread,
thus managing to live very well.
L’Olonuois was never intended by
nature to be a boatbuilder. and when
tho boat was finished it was discovered
that it had been planned so badly that
it would not bold them all, so ibey
drew lots to see who should embark iu
her, for one half of them would have to
stay until the others came back. Of
course L'Olomiois went in the boat, and
1m reached the mouth of the Nicaragua
river. There bis party was attacked by
some Spaniards and Indians, who killed
more than half of them and prevented
the others from landing L'Olnuuoln
and the rust of his men got safely away,
and they might huve sailed hack to the
island whore they had left their com
rades, for there was now room enough
for them all. Bnt instead they went to
the coast of Cartagena.
The pirates left on the island hy their
heartless companions were ren-ned by a
buccaneering vessel, hut L’Olounois bad
now reached the end of his wicked ca
reer.
On the shores where he lauded he did
not find prosperous villages and peace
ful inhabitants to be rubbed, but instead
tie came upon a fierce trilie of Indians
called by the Hpaniarils “bravos,"
or wild men. These people would never
have anything to do with the whites.
It was impossible to conquer them or to
pacify them. They hated white men.
They iiad heard of L'Olouuois and his
buccaneers, and when they found this
notorious pirate upon their shores they
were filled witii a fury sueli as tiiey had
never felt toward any other of his race.
Nearly all of the buccaneers were
killed, and L'Olonuois, being taken
prisoner, was put to death with most
cruel tortures—a fate of which he had
uo right to complain.
DR. LYMAN BEECHER.
The Great Preacher’s Peculiar Habits In
Preparing Hi* Nrrmooi.
Ur. Lyman Beecher’s pecnliar habits,
shown by his method of preparing ser
mons, are illustrated in Annie Field’s
latest book, “The Life and Letters of
Harriet Beeaher Htowe. " In her words:
“If he was to preach in the evening,
be was to be seen all day talking with
whoever would talk, accessible to all,
full of everybody’s affairs, business and
burdeus, till an hour or two before the
time, when lie would rush np into his
Btndy (which ho always preferred should
be the topmost room of the house), aud,
throwing off his coat, utter a swing or
two with the dnmbbeli* to settle the
balance of his muscles, he would sit
dowu and dash ahead, making quanti
ties of bieroglypbio notes on small stub
bed bits of paper about as big as the
palm of bis baud. The bells would be
gin to ring, and still he would write.
They would toll loud aud long, and hie
wife would say, ‘He will certainly be
late, ’ and then would be running np
aud down stairs of messengers to see
that he was finished, till, just as the
last struke of the bell was dying away,
he would emerge from the study with
his coat very much awry and come
down the stairs like a hurricane, stand
impatiently protesting while female
hands that ever lay in wait adjusted hi*
cravat and settled his ooat oollar, call
ing loudly the while for a pin to fasten
together the stubbed little bits of paper
aioresniu, wuicn ueiug uuiy urcppeu
into the crown of bia but and, hooking
wife or daughter like a satchel on his
arm, away he would start on such a
race through the street* a* loft neither
brain nor breath till the church was
gatmd. Then came the process of get
ting in through crowded aisles wedged
up with heads, the bustle and stir and
bush to look at him us, with a matter
of fact, businesslike push, he elbowed
his way through them and up the pulpit
stuirs. ’’

"I suppose that all of qh who felt the

an ex-bluejacket of tbo United Htates
uavy now living in VVaxhington, who
wax among the V'andalia xhip'i com
puny at the time of the great naval dis
aster in Apia harbor, Bauioa, in revert
ing to that experience "For three or
four year* after I got out of that me*e
all Mufe and sound the memory of it
Dik'd to gi t tangled up in my head when
X wax asleep, and X would wake to a
tremble and be unable to deep for the
remainder of the night. Xiut time baa
softened the craggier odgex of the re
membrance of that horrifying black
wind, and once in a spell nowadays I
forget all a tout It for two or three days
at a time.
"There was one man in my mees on
the Vandal ia who was never quite right
after we went on the reef. I was ship
mate with him for two years afterward,
and his occasional wildness was plain
to all bands, and men who've been ship
mutex with him since—for he’s still in

ly haunted by the memory of the disas
ter us he was when last 1 saw bim.
This man was a shipwright, and his
name was Turley. Before we had that
bad blow Turley was as cheerful and aa
chipper a man around decks as I ever
swapped yarns with, hut when be got
well of bis broken arms down in Apia
he was a changed man. I never saw
him crack a grin after the blow, and
from a stout, husky fellow he beoame
thin and haggard looking. He recovered
all right physically from the thing, yon
see. hut It sort of twisted bis head and
preyed upon him. He swung his ham
mock alongside of me on the Alert for
two years alter we were sent up to duty
on the west coast again, and it was a
common thing for Tnrley to hop out of
his hammock in a frenzy in the middle
of the night in port or at sea, yelling
like a madman: 'All bands abandon
ship! She’s going to strike!' He created
a lot of excitement up forward by doing
this, hut after awhile the men got used
to it and only turned over when they
heard Turley howling.
“It was the regular thing for the cor
poral of the marine guard at the gang
way to prod i he poor chap awake when
he bad tiiet crazy somnambulistic
spells and put him back in his hammock,
for he’d come out of them as weak as a
kitten and trembling all over. There
were a number of us on the Alert who
were washed np in the Samoan disaster,
and naturally ouce in awhile we’d get
to talkiug about it. But it didn’t take
us long to find out that we couldn’t talk
about It while Turley was around. The
mention of the thing in bis hearing
won Id bring an insane gleam into bis
eyes, end he wonld suddenly begin to
talk incoherently and at the top of his
voioe about reefs and dragging anohors
and all that, so that we learned to
knock off Samoan hurricane talk when
be was around. I don’t wonder much
either. It was an evil enough blow to
nigh turn any man's headgear topsy
turvy. ’’—Washington Star.
me tune in aimka.
The settlements along the Yukon ars
few and far between and consist, for
the most part, of the same elements.
There are the company’s store; tbs huts
and tents of tbe natives; the orowd of
howling dogs; salmon hanging in red
strips burnished with copper tinges in
the sun; little tots of ohildren; chatter
ing women offering baskets moccasins
and trinkets for sale, and here and there
perhaps a squad of uniformed ohildren,
marking tbe work uf some mission—
good looking, oleau looking ohildren,
but, whether Christianised or not,
spoiled for living like natives again.
The problem is, Wbat is to beooms of
thetu? Along the banks are occasionally
wet the rude huts and tents of small
parties of Indians oouie hither to out
wood for the boats or to fish, but, how
ever simple the habitation, it must al
ways have tile cache, or storehouse,
propped upon posts to keep tbe supplies
out of reach of the dogs, for these dogs
can bite through a tiu can and almost
climb a greeted pole in search of food.
Tbe cache should have a place on the
coat of arms uf Alaska it is universal.
