"No, no." said I. pausing by the capstan, as a teriibie for boding seb;i d me; "it came from the cabin." "There is no one there but the Captain, Cap-tain, Hisiop. and the boy Dill, win) 6ie p3 in the steerage, and they are all three .sound enough by this time," tab! i.ambourne. "Hut the sound was from the cab-In." cab-In." I persisted, hastening aft. At that moment, another cry, loud and piteous--a cry that sank into a hoarse moan, echoed throu:;h the- brig, "piercing the night's dull ear." and ringing high above the welter of the pea alongside, the bubble at the stem and stern, or the hum of the wind through the taut rigging. We all rushed aft to the companion, and at that instant Antonio sprang up t lie cabin stair. By the char splendor of the tropical moonlight we couid see that his usually swarthy visage was pale as death, while his black eyes blazed like two burning coals. He grasped his unsheathed knife, the blade of which, as well as his hands ami clothes, were covered with blood! My heart grew sick with vague apprehension, ap-prehension, and mg first thought was for a weapon; but none was near. 'What have you been about, you rascally picaroon and why did you leave the wheel?" shouted Lambonrp.e. becoming greatly excited; "the masts might have gone by the board what devil's work have you been after below?" be-low?" Then the dark Spanish Creole grinned, as the blood dripped from bis hands on the white and moonlit deck. "Knock him down with a handspike, Carlton," added Lamboiu-ne, who could r.et leave the wheel; "knock him down the shark-faced srwab!" On hearing this, Antonio drew from his breast a revolver pistol, one of a pair which we knew always hung loaded in Weston's cabin, and tired straight at the head of Carlton who dodged the shot, which killed the seaman sea-man named Will White, who stood behind be-hind him. The ball pierced the brain of t'ae poor fellow, who bounded convulsively convulsive-ly nearly three feet from the deck; he fell heavily on his face and never moved again, for he was dead dead as a stone. In its suddenness this terrible deed paralyzed us with horror, not unmixed with fear, as we were all unarmed and completely in the power of this Spanish Span-ish demon, the report of whose pistol brought all the startled crew tumbling over each other out of the forecastle. "Aha. maldita! Santos y Angeles!" said the Spaniard, waving the pistol, the muzzle of which yet smoked, toward to-ward us in a half circle, as a warning for all to stand hack; "did you thiuk to run your rigs upon me? I am Antonio An-tonio el Cubano, and don't value you all a rope's-end or a rotten castano, as you shall find. I ;tm now the captain cap-tain of this ship, and' shall force you all to obey me, or else" here he swore one of those sonorous and blas;inem-ous blas;inem-ous oaths which run so glibly from a Spanish tongue "I will shoot you a!i in succession, till I am the last man left on board; and when I am tired of the ship I can burn or scuttle her. Do you understand all this?" Dead silence followed this strange address, the half of which was scarcely scarce-ly understood by our men. as it was said in Spanish. Basta!" (ava?t) 1 see that you do understand," he resamed; and now j D.-gm rv ooemence. i nrow iais car r:on this bestia muerta overboard." But perceiving how we all c-hrank ack "Overboard with him!" he added, brutally kicking the inanimate body of poor Will White; "or demonio, 1 shall send the first who disobeys me to keep him company." He grasped me by the hand his hateful clutch was firm as a smith vise and then he leveled his pistol it the head of Xed Carlton. For a moment the latter stood irresolute, irres-olute, and then, seeing the black muzzle muz-zle of the revolver within a foot of his head, he muttered a deep malediction, maledic-tion, stamped his foot with rage on the deck, and said: "Mr. Rodney, bear a hand with me .o launch this murderod man this poor fellow overboard!" "Obey!" thundered Antonio. Like one in a dream I bent over the dead man, on "whose pale face, glazed eyes and relaxed jaw the bright moonlight moon-light was shining, and in my excitement ex-citement and bewilderment I nsarly slipped and fell into the pool of blood which flowed from his death wound. I had never touched a corpse before, and an irrepressible .shudder ran through all my veins. But, that emotion emo-tion once over, I could have handled a dozen with perhaps indifference; and there are few who, after touching the dead, have not experienced this change of feeling. - Ned Carlson, with a sound like a sob in his honest breast a sob of mingled raee anf commiseration raised the yet irm body; I took the feet, and throngh one of the quarter-boards, whJh was open, we launched it into r great deep, and as the brig flew Or.

This uirible revelation added to our di-'TP.ay. ; We were now in a desperate predicant predica-nt nt. without a captain or mate to ! r .avi-ate the bug and at tire mercy of ' a weti-ar::i"d dosp'-rado, to whom hom-I hom-I i.-ide was a pa -time; thus, all who ; had handled him so severely on the i night we crossed the line began to fee! 1 no small degree of alarm for their own safety, being certain that more blood would be shed the moment he came on deck, Al! dressed themselves with .the utmost ut-most expedition, and it was re'-oivel to hub! a council of war. I.am!);.;iriie was sliil at the wheel: and to he prepared pre-pared for any emerge m-y, he resolved to reduce the canvas on the brig. So the royals were taken down, ail studding-sails taken in, and the topsail3 were handed; all this was done as quietly as possible, lest any sound might arouse the fund who seemed now- to possers the Eugenie. I.ambourne ventured to peep down the skylight, when he saw Antonio drinking brandy from a rase bottle without troubling himself with a glass. Then the Spaniard proceeded to attire himself in the brst clothes of Captain Weston: he forctd open several lockfast places, and took from them moi ey and jewelry, which he tor.eealed abit bis person. What his ultimate object could lie in performing perform-ing these arts of plunder on the open sea. we could neither conceive nor divine, but on chancing to glance upward, up-ward, be caught a glimpse of Tom's eyes peering down. There was an explosion, a crashing of g'ass and a ball from a revolver, fired upward, grazed Tom's left ear and pierced the rim of his sou'-vvester as a hint that our Cubano had no intention in-tention of being overlooked in his operations op-erations below. We heard him close the cabin door with a bang, and after locking it. throw himself on the floor behind it, with the intention of sleeping, probably, proba-bly, but with the full resolution that no one should entr without disturbing disturb-ing him: and in this way. after examining ex-amining his pistols, be reposed every night afterward while on borrd. "By Jirr.go! I thought the killing o' them birds would lead to bad luck somehow," said Henry Warren, an o!d foremast man. with a reproachful glance at me, as he threw the two albatrosses al-batrosses overboard. Wc now held a solemn conference to meet the emergency which was certain to come anon, and to consider the best means of subduing and disarming ths culprit. "Whoever goes nigh him in th cabin, either by the door or the skylight, sky-light, risks being stabbed or shot," said Tattooed Tom; "so we mut go to work some other way, shipmates, and that other way must be considered." "We might close and batten the skylight sky-light and eompnnionway, and then starve or sracke him out." suggested : one of the crew, Francis Probart, cur i carpenter. ; "Smoke him out?" echoed Tom. j "Yes. as we do rats." j "By what?" ; "Fill a bucket with spun yarn and j greased fiax, with sulphur and bilge- j water ain't that the medical com- ! pound for rats?" "Nonsense." said Tom; "you would burn the ship " "As he has often threatened to do," said Carlton, "and may do yc-.." A most extraordinary scheme was proposed by one man that we should launch the longboat, throw into her seme bay? of bread and gang-casks of water, unship the compass, double-bank double-bank the oars, and shove off for the coast of South America, after scuttling the brig and leaving Antonio to his fate. We were in a horrible state of perplexity, per-plexity, and I seemed to see constantly before me the gashed bodies of my two kind, brave and hospitable friends Captain Weston and Marc Hislop lying in their berths dead and unavenged, un-avenged, with their destroyer beside them! We had the capstan-bars, and with these it was proposed to assail him when next he came on deck. Then we had the carpenter's tools, among which a hand-saw, an auger, an adze and a hatchet, made very available weapons, and these, with the old cutlass cut-lass and harpoons which figured on the night w-e crossed the line, were speedily appropriated. I was armed with a heavy claw-hammer, and, vow-irg vow-irg firmly to stand by each other, we resolved to lynch Antonio the moment mo-ment he came out of his den. ' While we were thus employed la i devising the means of punishment, the dark Bhadows of night passed away; i the morning sun came up in his trop-: trop-: ical spiendor, and the blue waves of ! the southern sea rolled around ua in light, but not a sail was visible on their vast expanse. The crew seemed pale and excited, as thy mifiht well be, and with buckets buck-ets of water we cleansed "the deck frcm the b'.ootl that stained it. The morning: advanced into noon, and the vessel was steered her due eoue. for the wind was still fair.

At an Adelaide street residence the servant went to the door, met a perspiring per-spiring and scowling letter carrier, and took in a basketful of mail. It was the third such lot of the day, and there had been a like delivery for a week. "Dump it into the furnace," roared the young man who is at the head of cho fami y. "I'm going to see the postmaster, post-master, write the head of the department depart-ment at Washington, and get out an injunction. I'll see if there is not some way to abate this nuisance." "But there may be some other mail; somethir.g that we want to read," interposed in-terposed a gentler and feebler voice. "I don't care if there is. I don't care if there's a draft or a postal order in every other envelope. Chuck the whole outfit into the furnace and don't lose any time doing it. Whoever's working work-ing this rig on me may think he's smart good and plenty. It's the coti-foundest, coti-foundest, meanest, smallest, most impertinent im-pertinent thing I ever heard of."

He comes w hen he pleases and goes when he gets ready. One way a hornet shows his smaitnass is by attending to his own business, and making everybody who interferes with him wish they hac done the same thing. When a hornet stings a feller he knows it, and never stops talking about it as long as h'is friends will listen to him. One day a hornet stung my pa (my pa is a preacher) on the nose, and he did not do any pastoral visiting for a month without tailing about that hornet. Another An-other way a hornet shows his smartness smart-ness is by not procrastinating. If he has any business with you he wil' attend to it at once and then leaves you to think it over to yourself. He don't do like the mosquito, who comes fooling around for half an hour, sing, ing, "Cousin, cousin," and then whei he has bled you all he can, dash away yelling "No kin." A hornet never bleeds you; but ifhe sticks you, yon will go off on a swell. I don't know anything more about hornets, only that Josh Billings says: "A hornet Is an inflamible (Josh was a poor speller) spell-er) buzzer, sudden in his impreshuns, and rather hasty in his conclusions or end."

Xetcliborliood Are Hein;r Rapidly Tnkea Up tiy Former Residents of the United State. The following extracts from a letter written to Mr. Bsnj. Davies, Canadian government agent at St. Paul, Minn., give an excellent idea of what is said of Western Canada by those who have gone there during the past two or three years. "When we first arrived here and took i up our nomes on tne prairie near Dalesboro. Assa., for a short time we had a fit of the 'blues,' but now all hands are settled to business, hale hearty and contented, enjoying th. finest winter we have ever .seen. We have got very comfortably situated, with considerable preparations for a crop, and all hopeful. I think this is a very fine country, and if '.he past se.i-J se.i-J son's crop is not an exception, which ! they claim no;, I belk-ve this is going i to be the wheat fish! of the West. 1; : is filling up fast. In this township last ; spring there were q :.:ri;;.'-,.'ci.:Dv-: of land vacant and tod-ty there is no: one. I can stand at my house and count ten houses where there was no; one last spring, with sb; more to go tilth til-th is spring. This is only a .-::;mplo o: what is going on ail roan 1. We interna to build a church next summer, right close to my place, so we will 1 strictly in line. It would have amused you to have been here 1 ;st spring. There were crowds of laud-seeker, and sometimes some-times in he spring tha prairie is not very inviting, and of course lots were discontented. There was one in the crowd who jumped on me for patting a letter in the paper, only for which he never would have come here, ari l he was very hostile, but eventually he got a place and today claims he would not take a thousand dollars and move out. so 1 am glad he is satisfied. "Well, my dear sir, as Arthur Finney Fin-ney is about to move out in March, with his family, and also one of my sons, anything you can do for them to assist them along and to make things smooth as possible, wil! be ,'reatly appreciated by me. I wi.l close for this time, and will write from time to lime to let you know we are living. Drop us a few lines to let us know how things are moving in St. Paul. "Yours Respectfully, "ALEX. CAMERON."
