Three years ago I shipped on board the Niger, Capt. Phillips. Our voyage was to Hilo, Sandwich Islands, and back to Paget Sound, whence we sailed. The Captain, officers and crew were, when I joined, Americans and West In diamen: hut, as another hand was wanted beside myself, I persuaded Jack Chester, an Englishman, with whoii I had become friendly, to fill tho vacancy. Jack was a fine-looking fellow, a jovial companion, and had lots of information, which he knew how to use; but, though lie dresecd and talked like a sailor, lie had not been long on board ship before it became plain that hii had not been brought up a salt, Our Captain was a Tartar, and no mistake; nnd as he had the eye of n. hawk, no fault committed by man or boy escaped him. This was especially unfortunate for my English shipmate. He hadshippedon able seaman's wages; but his deficiencies were so many and glaring that our Captain, who seemed to watch his movements more cart-fully than the rest of the crew, often inflicting upon him punishments painful to wit ness. I had a strong attachment for Chester, and stood his friend whenever I could, by taking some of his duties alon? with mv own : but! was not. al ways on hand to help him, so he fell oftener than others beneath tie Captain's displeasure. One night when I was at the wheel the wind rose into a gale. The Captain jcame on deck and set all hands to veef "the topsails. Tho men wefts manning the halyards to hoist away, when poor Chester, instead of letting go the reef tickle, let go tho weather foretopsail brace, and away went the yard, fore and aft. By luffing up smartly how ever, we managed to get checked with out carrying any tiring away. But Capt. Philips, frothing at the mouth, swore he would tan the foolish lubber's hide who had done so clumsy a thing. Saying which, ho rushed at Chester with a piece of ratline, which he brought down upon his head and shoulders, giving them a fearful cut. He was in tho act of raising it again, when a voice from aloft roaral out: "Stay your hand!1' The voice was wonderfully loud and clear, seemingly coming from the main' top. Thvi Captain fell back, and, look ing up, cried in great rage: " Aloft there! " "Halloa! " was the answerback. "Como down on deck," was the Cap tain's imperious order. ' Come up here, and see how you will like it," was the contemptuous re sponse. "Come down, I say, on deck!" foamed the Captain. " Come up and fetch me," returned the voice from aloft. "Who is up there, Mr. Rassom?" cried the Captain, appealing to the first officer. "No one, sir," was the reply, "so far as I can see. All seem present on deck." The Captain's rage was terrible to Witness. "All seem present, Mr. Rassom? What do you mean by that, sirf I ask you again, who is up there?" " lo one known to me," returned the Mate. "All are present: all are on deck." Such was the case. But the Second Mate, without awaiting orders, sprang up the rigging and looked over the top nm, then made the circuit of it, looking all around the masthead, and then re ported himself alone. "Then the ship must be haunted!" cried the Chief Mate. Tho Captain thereupon dropped the rope's end, which he held in his hand and went below. It was evident that he was strangely affected by what had occurred. And so my fellow-countryman escaped further punishment that U1KX1C. But in a few days our skipper had for gotten his fears, and looked about for another object upon which he could vent his spleen ; I had the ill fortune to feel his wrath. He ordered me to make a knot in the end of an old fagged rope to be used in making a lashing. In a little while I returned, saving thatl had made the best job I could out of a rope which was quite fagged out. "Well," said he, "if that's your best, you are as much of a lubber as vonr friend, Chester. But I'll dock you both - w uruinary seaman's wages." I tried to show him that the rope was too mnch worn to make a neat piece of work of it. " Indeed," I said, "itis sadly fagged." " Fagged, is it?" cried he, scornfully. " Then I'll finish it over your lubberlv back." J J " No you won't! " roared out a voice from behind the longboat. The Captain rushedin the direction of the sound, but failed to discover the speaker. Who was that?" he cried, in a storm of wrath, adding, "Xet me know who it is, and I'll thrash him within an inch of his life!" "Will you? Ha! ha! ha!" was the mecking reply, droppi g seemingly from the nmmtop. It was broad daylight when this took place, so we could see that there was no one up there. I was as much startled and mystified ly the occurrence as the Captain.; but neither he nor I, nor any of the crew tx whom he applied, could throw flight thereon. Bnt whoever or whatever ottered the words, mypurpose was served; aKwas Chester's oa a pre vious occasion-, The irate Captain went below, .filled more with fear than rage, throwing behind Km, as he stepped up on the cabin ladder, the rope's end which had so vexed him. Sailors in general are superstitions beings. Whatever can apt easily be niadeoHt or accounted for oa natural Tirmctple Unlaid to:the account of the aaperaatofalr Oar Captain: was no' bet ter iathirrespect than ak crew, for he was.as iBHarate as they, except m the matter ofmwkatioa. and as Toagh and wtaiowa.

Oare JJ& rest at the end of hi evcamg' "flitch, his slawbenrwcre distarbed by a loud and fearful cry, which seemed to eater the cabin by the side Hffct, Wck wasleftoaea for iWfcloh. The cry was heart by WS Second officer oa the Jrt-eckaad by Chester, wbawas t 'the wheel, neither of whom totiki throw light upoa the iiiridcat to.UW Captain, who had rttshsittH 14 UkeSefck m a state ef terror aam deaiamtoa ra. vain for Uw aroductioh of the offender. From that day it was ttelf ft lf tftai Captain Philips fcSf&ented by ap prehemtoaa tit coming disaster. An Me Was fixed in his mind that his ship Was visited by a spirit from the invisible world, which preferred to make Itself heard rather than seen. Ami this idea was strengthened by the fact that when ho was on deck and became aag altne' coaduct of any of Urts tten, especially when hts anger Was made manifest in oaths or Wows, the unseen but'etfer tff lant visitor from afarwoHh, perched apparently oh top o! Ihe mainmast, ut ter th fwlint laugh or decorous warn ing. On these occasions the poor lin would rush off to his caoin with blanched chik Sha tottering limb, and then alde until tho gale in his moral ettuftibilities should subside. That it was angry with no one else but the Csjh tain was clear, from the fact that it never took notice of the conduct of any other person. The Mate or the Boat swain might act as the' liked, or tho men might jl!e and call each other hard names no matter the voice was not heard neither laugh nor moan fell upon our ears. But most of those who lived in the forecastle were far from being happy; many of them shared the fear of our skipper; and I saw that they would rather have braved hh wrath than to be tormented as they were by the " voices of the night" or day. Chester and myself were exceptions. What his opinion was he would not say; hornet all my questions by adroit evasions AS for myself, I had no explanation to give. Thus matters Went on till o were within two days' sail oi the islands. All the while our Captain had been kept from tyranny by his fears of tho voice but now, exasperated by eomn fault in seamanship on the jjatttil Chester, and being the wd for liquor, he hurled a belavitl-pin at him which struck him Oh the head. Clapping his hands there on, he rushed to the forecastle. It was evident that the skipper expected to hear the voice, for ho looked nervously aloft'; but as all was silent !n that dilution, his courage returned, and he desired the second officer to call Chester bakttttnc deck. rJetUng ho a'isWer to his call, the Mate wiiif oelow, where he found the poor fellow delirious. Returning to the deck, he reported him to be in A dangerous condition. This filled tho Captain with fear. Ho ordered that every attention should ba paid him, which was done. That night n. uecame necessary to nave aH nanus on deck to reef, ami white wo were on tho 'ardsj RU awful cry, that of a msiiiac, arose from the bows of the ves sel, and the next moment several of us saw a human form on the rail ttetlr tho foreswitch, and then A loud fiplasu was heard in thtt.wnhlf lihUUr our lee. The CtMtain and chief officers who wAJrtt on deck rushed to the side- A hat was seen for a moment bobbing on tho crest of a wave, the maniacal sd'cnra was repeated, when Captain Phillips himself utloring a dry, fell senseless oh tlm deck. The Mate then hailed us Who were on tho topsail yard " Conic down from aloft ! Clear arniv tho small boat!" '-? We thought ho was as near besidU himself as was the Capuiin j nhu so he was for the motudntj Tor when Ave gain ed the acck he was ready to counter mand the order. Evcrv tjhiwr. wSaaw ful beyond expression; I'ne "wind and water were raging wild; it was impossi ble tor a boat to live in so rough a sea. so, making a virtue of necessity, the search for tho poor maddened fellow was abandoned, amid vows of ven geance against the Captain, and tears for our lost messmate. Forty-eight hours after this we enter ed the port of Hilo. A vast change had como over the crew. The Captain, knowing their peculiarities, had sup plied them wlthinohcy and copious liba tions ofwlllskv: so. instead of reDort- Jnj him to the Consul, as thev declared uiey wouiu, tney were ready to snout nis praise an nay long. In this, how ever, I did not agree; but, unable to bring the tyrant to justice single-handed, I resolved to quit tho Niger. I did so. After hiding in the woods several days I was caught and brought back to the ship. As my adventures as a fugitive are not essential to the unfolding of 'my story, I pass them by, and take up the threajiof my narrative. Wo set sail on our return voyage. Capt. Phillips was an altered man. He abstained from spirits, he controlled his temper, and this, with the addition' of a line, steady breeze, made our lives on board happy. But, alas! We 'Were doomed to a sad ending up of the Joy age. Keeping near the land, ariiT a squall laying hold of the ship, we were driven on a lee shore. It was just after midnight when we struck, and the darkness was terrible, and, leaping out of my hammock, I ran on deck. I could see nothing, save the wild waters racing over tho deck. I cried out to my shipmates, but got no answer. It was not possible to reach the after part of the vessel, where the lifeboats were kept, so, acting on the impulse of the moment, 1 leaped into the sea. Catch ing hold of a friendly rock, I was saved? Daylight came after r.i - ii- a i . . . r i . V Jiiu .' nnu y, tiTAtiiutr. ine nrsi; imng rsawwasxno aeaa noay of uoor Cant.

Of course they were there. lie tumbled a ball of yarn, a paper of pins, a half-made garment, a button-bo and a pin-cushion off on the door, made a dire among bodkin, worsted, threads, and darning-needle, and the shears did not turn up. lie stood Iffo work-ljsskirt bu Ms Kefti, but it was no good.

"Now look again that's a good tthth," she replied. " I knw they are right thSPc." The Major got down on hands and knees and looked under the lounge. No shears. Then he stood up and looked on the mantel. The nearest approach to shears there was a bent hair-pin. Then he walked around and surveyed f:ich window-sill, and gavu the work Jasket another racKft. " I tell you there ain't no shears, or else I'm blinder'n a bat!" be shouted from the hall after ho had given the hall tree a looking over. "Why, Major, how impatient you are!"

Detroit Free Press. Forecasting the Weather. In an article on " Tho International Weather Service," in the Popular Sci ence Monthly for January, Prof. Thomp son B. Maury briefly considers the ques tion whether it will ever be practicable to forecast, in part, the character of approaching seasons to predict wheth- erthe cominj winter will be mild or se vere, or tho next summer unusually hot, cool, wet or dry. There are those who maintain that an intimate connection exists between terrestrial weather and the sun spots, and Prof. Maury cites, without naming, a recent writer who, summing up the latest results obtained from the investigations of Mr. Mcldrum and others, concludes that " the solar spots and temperature change in par allel cycles, ana affect everv feature in terrestrial meteorology." Mr. Richard A. Proctor, on the other hand, has " no faith in the hopes which some en tertain of connecting terrestrial weather with1 the solar-spot pe riod." Prof. Maury, however; ex presses the belief that, independently of any considerations of thb kind, the solution of the problem, to an extent, at least, will come with a better knowledge of terrestnal meteorology, and that the requisite 'data for approximately fore casting some main features of the sca saa will ultimately te afforded by the extension of the international simulta neous weather reports.. Thus, the'execp tional heat of, last autumn was preceded by an exceptional meteorological condi- jp. An ioc neaiaer neuiev? iomugiui e signal service -reported that " the barometic pressure, as compared with the means of. the entire country, has been abnormally low." There was, then, in Augasi, and unusual barometic. depreesioa of "trough" covering the interior of the continent as far north as the arctic circle. Into this aerial hol low the air must flow from the sur rounding regioas of high -pressure, which at that time'' were southward in the Gulf of Mexico and in the extra tropical parts of the Pacific A warm Rwre was "'tfcea rolling1 through the country in a northerly direction. Had the extent and intensity of the low pressure fn British America in August beM ascertained by nmultaaeous ob- seryatioas .taken there, oar exceptional aer of tae aotuma cotud, as rot. claims, have been, in ao small foreseen, aad it murht have beao forecast with as much certaiarras aaCoidinary cold ware or hot wave, had fna resorts beea received from the an- per valley of the Saskatchewan before taaeaormoasDarometnc anomaly deTUCfaav so, aiavtaa eoid, wet aereil87t m Great Bntjaa was pre- bj, exceptionar. thennometnc ia tae JSrinsa isles, and ex- reartonsl barometric coadkjoas ia Ice laad.

I.) Jdiirntil, when tho writer of this article was iti Chicago, living within sight of tho Lake Shore llallroad, he counted one evening eighty-five dif ferent passenger and freight trains which came In and went out within an hour. And as he reported his enumera tion, a friend observed : "It seem like a dream. On Chrbtmas Eve, in lWll, I camo from Michigan City to Chicago, by the regular conveyance of a four horse stago coach, directly on the route used by this railroad, and I was tho only passenger.'' TJia stage coach is laid up among vanished things, and now tho lonely passenger of thirty-five years ago would tako his ioumey with a hundred or more to bear his company. To Mrs. Ijtngdou of New Hampshire, whoso husband was a member of Con gress, aro the ladles indebted for per mission to listen to tho debates and pro ceedings of that lody. They had been originally excluded from tho galleries, but when the famous Jay treaty was brought home, there were, heated do bates in the House for and against Its ratification. One night at a party Mrs. Langdon expressed her regret to "Fisher Ames of Massachusetts, tliat fcho could not hear tho arguments, especially his speeches. Mr. Ames gallantly replied that ho knew of no reason why ladies should not bo permitted to hear the de bates. "Then," said Mrs. Langdon, " if you will let me know when you next Intend to speak, I will make tip a partv 01 lauies, ana wn win go ana near yon." It was done, and tho galleries have al ways since been gracedby their presence. A stkono example of a mother's love was witnessed recently in the court room of Missoulian, Montana, says the Virginia (Nov.) Enfcrjfirtxc. TMrs. Adele Tebeau, who, at the advanced age of near 70 vears, this season crowed tho Cour d 'Alettes, over a rough, rocky trail, to be present at her daughter's trial for tho murder of M. M. uroulllard, is a regular attendant on tho court. She is tall and stately, and as she daily comes in and takes her place behind her daugh ter, is the cynosure of all eyes. A dramatic scene took place on Monday when the prisoner wm called to answer the charge against bcr. She hesitated, and the old lady leaned over and said in a low voice, but perfectly audible throughout, tho hushed court-room: " Tcllthe truth, my daughter, if it takes you to the scaffold!" A thrill of ad miration passed over the spectators, and the Judge found it necessary to say: "Mr. Sheriff, keep order in the court." Mastaars la Texas Thirty Tears age. Tlie word mustang is a corruption of mesteno. the Mexican name for a wild horse. Manv vears act) there were I thousands, no doubt millions, of those animals in Texas. In 1819, and for sev eral years thereafter, they were numer ous in the region between tho Nueces River and the Itio Grande. They were found further north, bnt not in such numbers. Immense herds of wild horses could be seen grazing on the prairies. When they saw anyone approaching the leader would often move to the front and make a reconnolssancc. If things did not suit him, he would give his head a pectMertogsv wacel and sound the note of alarm. These demon strations would be followed by prompt movement on the partof the herd, some times to the front, but more' usually to the rear. They would wheel into line, change front, move in line, or in column, with as much precision and order as cavalry. It was wonderfnl to witness how well they were drilled and dis ciplined. In the event a retreat was. or dered, the leader would move in the rear for a while. If any lagged or straggled thev were very apt toieel his teeth,' if not his heels. . On some occa-J siocs a movement to the, front was or dered. It was, a charge inline, or ia column, proadly headed by the leader. This was the case sometimes whea mounted men were insight. The Texas Bangers operating ia that eeeatry were followed, by pack-males, ia charge of a guard. It-was necessary at times to form a hollow square, place the mules inside, and to throw out skirmishers' ttr fire into the aaimaSTTflfaeTeadTer could 'bestrode, laa charge woeld he brake.
