SCUDDlKG ll)R BABE POLES. As a rule, a regtilar Eailor's yam minus a fetticcat . triixed up with it ; in some fashion, is aoi.t as-rare a curiosity as a horned horse, or a tetotal lecturer. And v.itlout a wcrnan in the middle, at both ends, and all the - way through it, Jack's salt-water yarn would be as in sipid as a dish cf Dutch 'pepper-pot' wiih the pepper left out. But one March afternoon when we were barging out the butt end of a tear ing equinoztial gale in the middle of the Gulf stream off Hattcras, after we had spun all manner of yarns, with dimity enough in them to Late freighted the Great Eastern, someone remarked that a yarn worth listening to couldn't be spun without a petticoat in it. That decla ration brought out Lieutenant George Wickham In opposition. Gentlemen, sre my yarns worth listening to generally ?' - 'Capital ! Excelsior' A No. - 1' 'The best in the fleet V by the whole wardroom. Well, look here, gentlemen, 1 am just in the humor to reel you off a regular hawser-laid yarn, as true as St- Luke's gospel, ?md as clear of crinoline as this lumtl?r is of grog Jiot a sins of a petti coat about it. I tell you I'll ball you off a better yarn than you ever heard from me. : I'll bet the -cigars for all Diva's for a month I can do it.' Done, lieutenant !' Til take that bet,' sung out the doctcr. So will I !' put in Purser Tom Powell. 'And 1 V echoed Ensign McVail. Very well, gentlemen; stand t'y to Ji?ten, and I am willing you should de cide the thing yourselves after hearing the yarn. I am going to tell you how I caught that clipper frinoline craft of mine, who Avast heaving a bit, lieutenant. There you are, all flat aback before you are fairly filled away on your course,' interrupted Doctor Joe. How is that, Mr. Cut-leg.' Why there's a petticoat in the very first turn of the reel.' 'Where? inquired Lieutenant Wick Lnm, looking astonished. -There? Why on your wife, of iUjl ! ha ! ha !W hat an inhotoHt you :ire, doctor. You're eternally going off before you are loaded. Now, look here, if you'll only put c. stopper on that tongue cf yours, and li-'-rm to the yarn; if yen find a scrap of crinoline or .vJcoat ubi'Ui it, put me 'in fur the damages, and call it two months.' Heave ahead, lieutenant.' 'Belay your jawling tackle, doctor.' 'Now for tbe yarn,' ruled the ward-room. 'Well, gentlemen, when I was just past the twenty-third millstone on life's turn pike, tolerably good looking, and two br three pockets full of dollars, I'd had a rather tough pull of the African fever and went up into the interior of York State where 1 was born, and used to go to school when I was a boy, for the pur pose of lying off lazy like twa or three months, and cruiting ship.. About a mile from my father's, up the road, liwd farmer Collins, pretty com fortably off in ih? world, with a tainlyof mostly-grown up children, among them a girl of about eighteen one of the pretti est girls in seven counties ; but unfortu nately some six months previous to my! going home, Aimira had gone crazed, or Hove cracked, or something of that sort, and as her parents didn't want to send the poor girl off and shut h r up, and very hkely have Tier abused in a mad house, they kept her as quiet and comfort able as t' ey could at home. The crazy srirl went into high tantrums oc afioually, and was pretty hard to handle. But we found oUt accidentally soon after I went honie, that in her wild est, antics, Altmra would always listen to me, and remain as quiet as a lamb while I was with her. So I was often sent for when she went into one of her wild flur ries, and always managed to handle her like a pilot boat. The next farm up the road beyond that of Collin's, belonged to Colonel Eiias Ilewil. who was a sort of rurul nabob, and had one child only Miss Cornelia, nineteen years old, well brought up, edu cated, and in my opinion the most mag nificent female craft that over looked out on a country landscape. I had exchang ed signals two' or three tiries with the little clipper craft, and learned that she was? willinr enourh to drift alon!? down under my lee ; but the old tiger o? a polonel held roe off about five cable's length, not quite willing to allow his daughter to sail in tompaLy with a fore- castje Jack, whose father' whole estate was only a potato patch compared with domain. ' - - - " . fHoweevr, that colonel had permitted Cornelia and I to stand two or three night watches together, and one morning as I was homeward bound after an all nights lookout' with the girl. Mr. Collins brought me to as 1 was passing his house, it.A : . : . u . a i : u 4 iiu iuc imuiiiiniiuu iuui xxiuiua uau been in a tearing-(antrum all night, and that they were entirely worn out wnh her mad antics. ' I went in and found the girl plunging and lathering about the house like a era- zy finback, bat in less than ten minutes I had her as docile as a sucking dove, and quietly in bed in a bed-room cn the low- er floor, communicating with the parlor. Then I brought the big rocking chair, and anchored myself in it, blocking up the door way, so that ine crazy girl couldn't run the blockade; and told all hands to turn in" and get some rest, I would attend to Aimira. ' The girl was as quiet as a dead dolphin for half an hour or so', and fancying her fast asleep I didn't see impropriety of taking a bit of a nap myself. I had stood a whole nights watch with Cornelia, and I needed it. Well, I went on a cruise into dream-land, and must have stood on that tack for nearly two hours I think, when I thought that ten sea eagles had pounced upen me all at once, and I was wiae awake m u seconu. It was no'thing like an eagle. Only Aimira Collins,- the' crazy girlnot a single stitch of anything under heaven on - .. her, standing before me, looking as wild as a fish-hawk.wi'h her bare arm? stretch ed out towards me, and her fingers crook ed up like the claws of a cat. In a second I laid hold of the w;ld, cfozy creature, and for more than nuar ter cf cn hour thtrre was such a tussle ai I tv-T i.id v itti anything human. Up ai.ci down, over and under, here and there, the girl scratrhiug, biting, hissing, pick ing up and spitting like a wile cat. and I, all the time, exerting all the might and muscle that was -in me to conquer the crazy thing without injuring her. At length, when I was pretty. nearly on my beam ends, I succeeded in subjugating the girl and gelling her back into bed again, naked as she was, I covered her up, and after she had promised me in a way more rational than I had heard her sjreak at any time previously, that she would remain quiet, I dropped into the big cl air, and in spite of all I could do to keep my eyes open, in about au hour. I was fast asleep again. 1 might have slept half an hour, 1 sup pose, and then, waking suddenly, I m.ide a dis-covery first, that my charge had absconded during my nap, and directly afterwards that she had escaped through a window back of the bed, and in about thirty seconds I was out of doors and af ter her. I tracked her bare feet easily enough down through the garden, and across a plowed field in a direction to wards Colonel Hewitt's but in the pasture land beyond, I lost the trail. However. I kept on towards the colonel's, confident that the girl had fled thithef as she htd done several limes previously. Within about three hundred yards of the colonel's housfe, I cdme upon the re fugee. She was bathing in it quiet pool of pure frater, hidden away undef sonie giant old elms and surrounded by wild paltn trees. But I didd's quite lay hold of her there ; her eats and eyes were too quick for me, fwr as I was creeping up cautiously to wards the pool, the crazy water nymph khot out on the opposite side, and giving two or three piping screams, away she went in a straight line toward. Colonel Heivctt's kitchen door, and away I went cracking on all rail in chase. It was noon, and as' we came out into the open land, a hundred and fifty yards from the kitchen door, the girl fiv fath oms ahead, her long, black hair stream ing but behind her, and she, uuder bare poles, scudding like a witch in a hurri cane, there came Colonel Hewett out through a gate by the barn, followed by a squad cf ten farm hands; all tnua.J c;u:iur, ar.d.fiUing into the lane jjt as the crazy givi and I in full cl.ase shot In and across the dcor yard we went, 8 ml as th? runaway pat the first foot on the kitchen pofch I grabbed hef, and the ia stant my arms took in the chase sombody pounced upon rhe from behind. The first flash of thought was that it was Colonel Hewitt, and I turned my head to look. ' No, the colonel was just dashing through the gate into the yard, and there was a duplicate Eve behind, grappling me fast around the waist, whi)e I was holding in my arms well, I may as well come to it at once Cornelia Hewett, whom I had surprised in the pool bathing, and mistaken for the crazy Aimira, who had been concealed closs by, and the moment I gave chase to Cornelia, took after me, overtaking me at the very mo- . . .i .i i iuru. ot my capturing me coionei daughter. Ii must have been a leauiiful display as seen by the colonel aud his clod hoDDers: a vounz saU-water shark I w ' in chase of a Venus just from the water, and he in turn pursued by another rnude naiad, and all three driving away toward the kitchen door like an albicore between to bonitas. The colonel was belligerant at first, but as soon as I explained he laughed henrtily, and hurrying myself and the two shiftless girls into a less public place than the kitchen porch, the first thirg he said to me was; 'Look here, my lad, you have canght the girl fairly, and I guess you'd better keep her.' 'Just as she is, colonel ? I asked, just as innocenty as a baby. Cornelia slapped me in the face, teaching me something better than that, and then pent out like a shot, taking the crazy girl with her. They came back, however, in about half an hour blushinrr nrptiv reA fint InnLinrr a g00d deal more presentable than they naa done m tne race down the Jane. i The excitement or reaction or some- thincr. cured the cracv rirl: and the mis- c.. - - - - - j a- - m I take won me a wife worth all the angels that ever visited this world.' And the cigars in the bargain,' put in Purser Tom. lYes, I'll be hanged, if those cigars) are not fairly yours, lieutenant, said. the doctor. 'That is the first time that I ever saw or heard of two fascinating young ladies being presented to the pub lic in that fashion.' THE WIKZ TRIAL. The trial of the inhuman monster who was keeper of the Andersonville prison, is drawing to a close. If all the testimo ny in regard to this man's barbarities be true, and there seems no reason to doubt any of it, he will stand in history as the most heartless demon that ever cursed the earth with his presence. One can- r not read the story-of his crimes and out rages perpetrated against helpless pris oners, without a shudder. The villiari must have been sent into the world with out a heart, and if he has a soul it will stjbn be wraped in the flames of hell's hottest corner. In almost every epoch of time there has. appeared some great human monster in crime whose atrocious deeds, committed against his fellow men have tendered him immortal in infafny: In the seventeenth century Jeffreys, of England, often urged on by his master James the H, but in most tases out of pure blackness of heart, butchered, hanged and burned those who were so unfortunate as to come within his juris diction, until the people rose in revolu tion, dethroned the master and sent the inhuman servant to the Tow'er wbere, before a trial could be brought about, death put an end to his miserable exis tence. In the eighteenth century, Rob espierre, in France, ''got drunk with blood and vomited crime." He stands the repres entative mohstef fcf his age and time, and histoiy has painted him as such. But it has been reseived for this age of civil'zation. in a land bostful of its superior intelligence and larger freedom, to produce a cnmonal surpas sing in ferocity all ivho hive preceded him. We have heretofore made ex cerpts frtfril th'e ev'dehcs elicited, and below give & Small portion of what was brought oiit bne day last weak. Geo. W. Gray, an Indiana cavalryman, stated; "That a party of prisoners, in whose company he arrived at Andersonville; were ordered to place their blankets, hav ersacks, &c,. in one place, vihen an offi cer who was mounted dci a gray horse rode up and told the Confederate sol diers to help themselves and let the pris oners hate th remainder. Tbe Con federate soldiers helped themselves and there was nothing left. He was not certain whether the mounted officer was Wirz or not. In June or July 1S&1, witness and a young man named Un derwood, of the 17th Indiau tavalfy, his own regiment, went to the sutler's ient. Wirz was there. Underwood asked for something to cure ht3 wound with. The sutler said he would give it, when TVira.sttid i No, he cannot have it unless he pays me a dollar " Under- wood gave W'irz his only money, which was a ten dollar biir. and unen he asked for change, WiraT knocked him out of the store ; witness was pat in the stocks four days for attempting to escape r he knew a man to dre in the stocks m Au- gust or September, ISO; the negroes took him out of the stocks after he was dead; they threw the bodj into1 a waj- l.ii ij ?. rr i i . i s i ou anu aauieu u en ; tie Knew inui,aiMi to. shoot a young fellow named Wm Stewart, belonging to the Dih jMiit:s- sola Infantr? : he and witness had fr one I O out of the stockade with a dead body which they had lurried. When they met the prisoner he rode up to them and asked them by what authority they were out there. Steward replied tha? th?y were out thereby proper authority. Wirz said nomore, but drew his revol- ver and shot him. After he was killed the guard took from his body twenty cr thirty-five dollar?. Wirz took the mon- ey from the guard? an rode tff, telling them to carry witness to prison. It was witness determination to escape if he could, and for that reason he had ?oue out. but was not attempting to doso. At the time when the prisoners were being removed to the cars for exchange Wirz gave orders lo Lieutenant Davis to bayonet any man who laid down on the road, and witness had seen men who werft rrnwlinr nn thpir harr! nnrf i-nwi to the cars bayoneted by the guards. i vyitnes; Heard one ot them ask irz when he was going to remove the Yan kees, and Wirz replied, "Damn' the Yankees, they will be dead in a few days, anyhow." He had seen a priso- rier who had been caught by dogsT with a part of his cheelc torn offr and bh arms, hards and legs gnawed up so that he enly lived twenty-four hours. Joseph Adler testified to instances of the suflrinsr of the sick similar to those heretofore narrated by other witness. He mentiontd the case of a man who had been assailed by doss. His throat had been torn to pieces and blood was running from the wounds. Wirz and Doctors White and Stevenson were near at the time. Wirz said it served the d -d scnundrel right. The man died cn the spm the same day. Witness also narra: . 1 tL-: rase of a sick man who asked Wrrz f.r f -.d. Wrirz struck him on the head with a riding whip. The man went into fit nnd died two days after. Of the seventy men who -accompanied the witnesi to the prison, all died but twelve. He heard Wirz order a sentinel to fire at a man who had cross ed the dead line, and instructed him to fire whether the man was over the dead line or not. The sentinel shot the man in ihe breast. 1V. H. Jjnhings, a colored soldier, testified that his wound was not dressed after he was tak5n to Andersonville. He was whipped by Wirz for not going to work when he was unable t- do so. Turner, the man who had charge af the dogs, gave him thirty lashes orithe back. He was then put in the stocks- for a night and a day with nothing to eat cr drink- lie could not walk. Witness saw a man who had been shockingly bit ten by tha dhgs and who died soon after. T. N. Way, belohing to an Ohio regiment testified thit he wis punished for fifteen minutes by being tied by his thiimbs, his toes barely touching the ground, he Mttehlpted to escape and was recaptured. ncoafatrin Wirz, a . the latter said. "Well, .you re batck again." tVheess replied "I guess -o." Wirz then Said, "101 going Ij take tare of you this time ; I'll put you m the stocks four days." Witness then saiJ jokingly, ''I had rather b earned than walk." TherJ Wirz replied, "lou g d d d son of a b b, if )Tou give me any of your lip I'll shoot you." He wa3 theft put in the stocks for eight days. His head and feet were fastened in the stocks, his back to the ground and his fac8 exposed to the sun. The punish ment was inflicted because he had at tempted to eicape. He knew personal- ly about the hounds, as he had been cay tared three or LCfr times by them. A young fellow named Freddy was caught by the foot and afterwards torn all to pfece& ly the dogs. In September 16G4, while forming the line, s siclcrrran could hot find his place and rau up to the line, when he was met by n irz wnh the exclamation, "You Q d d n Yan kee son cf a b -h, jf you don't .get into line I'll shoot you." He struck the man ntk Im A rtT vi3 tl L r tl " s A KiiVl cftrw A feet. The man was too wea to get up agaiu. Juhn H. Sterns testified that shots were frequently fired aro thy stcckade I y ih9 sentry. He faw in August five mert wbo bad received. Fgunshot wcusda' and were sent to the hospiiaf.' "Ha de scribed the shocking (cctdhlcacf ihff prisoners who were placed in 'hospitals. Some- were alincst niked, and. h? re numbered one man nheri the meat of fensive filth had got between the man's clothes aud skin, penetrating his hoae and mouth, causing him ih most intense paiu as was evidrtit from his sctions. oi!(-rs became delirious from diseasS. Amputations were frequently perform ed, iesultinaf almost invariably in death. He did not remember any ci3ecf recov ery where ampuiati-onLad been perform ed. .Tne effect cf vaccination was sy philis. . ' 7 '" Alexander Kermell, a prisoner at An dersonville, testified that he had efced men with ball nnd etiain and seen them bucktd and gagged and in stocks. ' A man who belonged w a Pennsylvania regiment was put in the tu cks about the 15ih of February last about four o'clock in the forenoon,' and was brought back to the sfoetade next :orui5et nvnP oVTcfk. The man did not eat, anything after he came in. and told hira he had thoroughly chil'.td. lis soon died in consequence of xpesure lo the weather. Another man to his kn.w ledge died from ii juries received in the chain gang. Wm. W. Sjcctt ici'.ifud to the cruelty cf Wirz in the latter ran of August. A bick man aikeu Wirz t j seud him to the hospital, vshen the latter cursed hin and hit him a violent blow ca the head. ,Tfcff man went lo his tent and died in a da 6f two after. The witness mentioned? another ca?e. One of the guatdthrew' a brickbat, which struck Wirz on the ' shoulder. Wirz, without . stopping" to make inquiry, drew his' revolver ar.dV shot a Union man. : ' '' '. 1 ' ' j Abner A. Kelky', of the 4th1 Ohio, tes tified that wLen he and his fellow:prij oners were taken to Andtrsonville, they were robbed ofblankets, canteens andj watchei,- which wereremoved to Wirz'a headquarters. Thy were never re turned. A crazy man having been shot the sentry was. asked wh) he did so, when he replied that ha was acting un der orders of Capt. Wirz. The latter bn being asked by a prisoner whether he expected the men to live on shch rou'guf and unwholesome feed, 'replied, "It's . good enough you d -d yankees." Witness in August, 1SG4, aw a sick man at the gate with a sore on him aa large as the. crown of his hat, full of fcaaggot and fly blown. The man had been at the gate . twenty four boors.'- The sur treoii asked Wirz to have him carried to the hospital. Wrirz said "No, let him lie there and diij."
