The leaden footed minutes stay
Thrice sixty seconds; and it seems
The sun shines only somber beams—
Their golden sheen all changed to gray.
Oh, zephyrs, have ye naught to say—-
No In waftcd from away,
But this refrain that haunts my dreams,

Across the waste no beacon gleams
With light of love to guide my way.

A PHANTOM WAR VESSEL
When recently Eben McLoughlin, the
master of a small fruit schooner plying be-
tween Galveston and Vera Cruz, reported
with unmistakable agitation and terror
that on his last trip he had encountered a
vessel of strange build, filled with men
whose ghastly, terrible countenances
seemed to him those of the dead, it was
laughed at as the ridiculous story of a
superstitions sailor, having: no foundation
except in a brain iireal' by sitong drink.
But on the same day it received such strong
confirmation from Capt. Eric Anderson, of
the Norwegian ship the Fair Hilda, that
the nut Ziorities began to suspect that some-
thing unusual, to say the least of it, Was
afoot.
Capt: Anderson, who had just landed
and could have had no previous knowledge
of McLaughlin’s story, and who is besides
a gentleman of tried integrity, states that
when half a. day out from port, and just at
early dusk, he perceived close under the
bows of his ship a sailing vessel. apparent-
ly rushing down upon him. He shouted
to the man at the wheel to luff, but before
the order could be obeyed the strange craft
swept past within what seemed to him ten
feet, giving him an instant’s’ glimpse of
her decks, crowded with men who struck
him as being most extraordinarily calm
and indifferent to the peril which had
threatened their ship, for leaning over the
tail‘rail or lounging about the deck, not
one even raised his head to glance at the
Fair Hilda.
But the thing which puzzled Capt. An-
derson most was the strange light which
pervaded the ship, and which seemed only
to outline every spar and rope as if rubbed
with phosphorusswithout illuminating her
or casting a- shadow. Questioning the
man at the wheel as to his carelessness in
allowing an accident to become so immi—
nent, the sailor assured the captain that
the strange vessel had seemed to spring
into being all at once right under the Hil—.
da’s bows, and that she could not have ap—
proached gradually without his seeing her,
as he had been gazing straight ahead at
the time, and it was still so light that no
difficulty could have been experienced in
making her out, covered as she was with
full canvas. , '
Capt. Anderson described the vessel as an
old fashioned craft of the kind known as a
f oretopsail schooner with a black hull, and
with mounted guns, presenting so unmis-
takable a warlike appearance as to mark
her as bound on a belligerent errand, and
to am. :20 the captain, who fully expected
to hear on reaching port that some un-
locked for war had broken out since he be:
gan his voyage. The schooner was also
accompanied by two feluccas, and was fly-
ing a huge flag, but owing to the dim
light and the rapidity with which she
passed and disappeared its nationality
could not be ascertained. No vessel
equipped-for war could possibly have any
business in these. waters, and both alarm
and astonishment were felt over her pres-
ence. Telegrams were at once sent to New
Orleans and Key IVest, inquiring if aught
was known at either port of such a craft,
and were answered not only in the nega-
tive, but in a tone of perfect incredulity.
Suspicion had from the first pointed to
Mexico or Central America as the hailing
point of the mysterious vessel, clearly en-
gaged in no legitimate business, and the
seaports of these countries were wired in,
regard to her, but reply was made in. every
case, and with undisguised surprise, that
no such vessel had or could have left un—
seen at any point along the coast. From
the little port of Santa Maria, however,
came an addition‘to the denial which only
served to deepen the mystery. This was
the statement that the same vessel, or one
answering to the description, had been re-
ported seen in that vicinity at intervals of
every few years, but though every facility
at hand had been employed to find out her
errand, or even the slightest fact about
her, she still remained a. problem to the
authorities. No crew had ever been known
to come ashore, and every attempt made
to reach her, howevér slyly planned, had
ended in failure and bewilderment, for,
though in plain view of the land, when
the spot where she had seemed to be
anchored was reached she was found to
have disappeared as completely and with-
out trace as a flock of foam.
It- was thought best to pursue investiga-
tions quietly, and not to make common
talk of the occurrence, but McLaughlin ..
and the crew of the Fair Hilda, who had
also seen the ship that so amazed the cap—
tain, openly declared their belief that she
was a supernatural appearance, and spread
the story, which is now the absorbing topic
about the wharves. The correspondent
visited them yesterday to pick up Whatin-
formation was afloat concerning the mys-
terious craft, when, joining a group col-
lected about an old sailor, by name Ben
Davidson. and familiarly known as “Old
Larboard,” he was entertained by the fol-
lowing explanation of the mystery:
“I’ve bin a-livin’ on this here island
nearly fifty year now, off and on, ’cept-
when a-v’yaging, and this here is the fifth
or sixth time I’ve seen that ere craft stirup
a mighty fuss and wondetiu’, and Pd bet a
ship’s biscuit against a shark’s tooth that
this ain’t the 135’ time by a long shot she’s
goin’ to doit. ‘What is she? She’sLafitte’s
Pride, and she ain’t goin’ to quit thceev
here waters where she did all herdevilment
till the jedgement day sets her free. The
crews she carries is them bloody pirates
that used to carouse over this here island,
and who sent many an honest sailor man:
to Davy Jones’s locker underneath these
here daucin’ waves. Lord, Lord, to think
0’ them a—tryin’ to stop her and board her,
as I hears they’re plannin’tol Might as
well think 0’ ketchin’ and holdiu’ one of
ten year’ ago I run into the ’tarnal thing
myself right out here in the bay. The
Robert Lee was lyin’ out .a piece, agoin’ to
sail next day, and I’d shipped aboard her
as bos’n; but the evenin’ ’fore I got leaveto
go, ashore ,to tell my‘Nance good—b , and
‘me and‘Kit Reeves and old Du'mps,the
second mate, and I b’lieve Andy Harper,
the cabin boy, but I forgets nov; war
pullin’ ashore a little ’fore dark, but plenty
light ’nough to keep out o’ the. way 0’ tugs
I and other craft, when all to onct Kit-
Reeves, who was steerin’, fetched a horrid
screech and 1 seed a schooner right ahead
9’ us loomin’, up white .3 a ghost, for all
her canvas was set, though there warn’t a
breath of air, and with a blue light a—play-
in’ round her sheets and lines.
“She was right on to us ’fore we could
get the oars out o’ the writer, and I looked
for the bump next minnit, but, sirs, as I’m
, a. sinner, we shot plum th’ough the black
hall 0’ the ghost ship, and I tell you,
‘ though, it didn’t take us longer than
’tvmuld to sneeze, every man 0’ us came
out a shiverin’ and shakin’ and cryin’,
with our teeth a rattlin’ and the hair 0’ our
heads a. standin’ up like a out when it’s
riled. For ’twas like bein’ dipped in ice
water. and that so black ye could see no
daylight on either side 0’ it. Leastwise,
that’s as near as I kin’ come to tellin’ how
it seemed, though that don’t make ye un-
derstand the awful awfulnoss of ‘it, but I
knows I’d rather face a naked saber than
the like . o'ain.
"Old Dumps be war onsensible for mor’n
an hour, and Kit Reeves, gone plum crazy,
tried to jump overboard, and would a-done
it if I hadn’t a belt him tell he got sorter
calmed down. When we shot th’ough the
spook vessel I ’gin a. look up at her, and
I’m a Dutchman from Amsterdam if I
didn’t see a row 0’ faces looking over the
sides at me, and hear ’em a—laughin’ and a—
screechin’ like mad and pintin’ their fin-
gers at us; but them faces was the worst,
for they warn’t jest the phizzcs 0’ dead
men but 0’ men that had been dead so long
that the flesh done turned green with cor-
ruption and grave mold. But I didn’t get
mor’n a glimpse 0’ them, for the next min-
nit-the ship was gone like a puff of smoke.
“She visits this here port ’bout every ten
years I make it, and I reckon in between
whiles goes cruising round the spots where
she ust to scuttle honest ships. I’ve heern
0’ her onct or twict down on the Mexican
coast, and a sailor named Abe Tucker told
me last year, I think ’twas, that she scared
the life out o’ the watch on one o’ the Mal-
lory steamers off New Orleans; but the
céptain, who war one 0’ .these here cock
‘sure know alls, swere they was all drunk
when she was reported.”
That ”Old Larboard” was right in his
opinion that the ship is a supernatural
visitor is beginning to be shared by even
'the most intelligent and skeptical of the
community, who have totallyfailed to find
any natural explanation of the appearance.
A party of young people enjoying a cruise
about the bay in the steam yacht Rosemary,
,ered the phantom ship lying at anchor
about two miles out, and passed within
100 feet of her. They say that she was
ablaze with a pale bluish light which cast
no radiance about, and that the clash of
arms and the shrieks and words of com-
mand could be distinctly heard, and occa-
sionally a body would seem to be thrown
overboard, for the dull splash of water
parted was discernible, as at intervals the
bay for a space of twenty feet around her
would appear blood red, and which was
not to be attributed to the sunset sky, as
the hue was too-deeply crimson for a re-
flection.
Last week every available boat was out
scouring the bay looking for the phantom
bark which answers to the description of
the Pride, Lafitte’s favorite vessel, and
which is believed to have foundered near
here,with_:treasure to the amount of $7,000,-
000 in gold, jewels and goods, in the midst
of a drunken riot among the sailors after
the death of the pirate chief, after which
they returned and carried ofi the booty he
had buried on the island, near the site of
the village Campcachy, which he built.
In regard to previous appearances of the
ghost ship Capt. Louis Billings says: .
“I never told it before for fear of being
laughed at, but that vessel helped me to
run the blockade in ’64, though she scared
me so bad in doing it I did not thank her
for it. It was late one October evening
that I sighted the Federal boats; lying 01f
Tthe harbor here, and I was wondering
what they meant by taking no notice of
me, when I saw that they were firing at a
foretopsail schooner about half a mile dis-
tant, which was flying a. big black flag,
and taking no more notice of the pepper-
ing she was getting than a duck of a
shower, but was apparently lying motion-
less, though she was carrying a full head
of canvas and the wind blowing some-
thing that wasn’t very unlike a gale, and
a stiff one.
“Pretty soon-one of the gunboats—I heard
afterward that itwas the Niagara, but I
may have, been misinformed—evidently
made up its mind to see what the schooner
meant by Suchextraordinary behavior, and
"went for it likea battering ram. I watched
it with a. good deal of interact through my
keeping .up' its fire ’as it went, seemed
rather disconcerted as it drew near the
black flag, which serenely waited for it
withoutfurlingamfl orma’uning a gun,

ticedallntonce the gunboat threw itself
bodily upon her, and I said to myself,
‘Lookout, now?’ when tomy amazement
the Federal'vossel seemed to shoot clean
through the other as thmugh a mirage,
and the'schooner faded in a-blood red mist.
“The other blockadersmust have been
absorbed in watching the affair, too. for I
am persuaded they never even saw me,
though I wasxiu full' view of them. -It was

ROME, Feb. 3.—~Italy is passing through

at Turin that there would be no new taxes.
An Event of Grave Significance.
LONDON, Feb. 3.—The Staig‘qird says:
“The fall of Signor Crispi is Fifi event of
the gravest significance, but it will not
exercise the remotest influence on Italy’s
foreign policy or the solidity of the drei-
bund. A bridle will have to be imposed on
the insane and inexplicable waste of Italian
money in .'-'\frica., which we fully believe
was the main ingredient of the irritation
that has resulted in Crispi’s fall.
"‘It is not in Italy alone that Lord Salis-

culated on popular vexation with the fail-

BERLIN, Feb. 3.—Signor Crispi, who re-
signed 011 Saturday because of an adverse
vote in the Italian chamber of deputies on
the spirit tax bill, entertained Count Her-
bert Bismarck on Friday, and it is rumored
that he then expressed doubts of his being
able to remain in power. In political circles
in Berlin the news of Signor Crispi’s down—
fall was received with regret, though with
composure, as it is believed that his fall
will not affect the dreibund or Italy’s
foreign policy.
_ l’arnell's Declaration.
LONDON, Feb. 3.——In a speech at Ennis
yesterday Mr. Parnell declared that Ire-
land had stood fastvto her claim to be sov—
ereign within her own domain. He refused
to admit any English veto. As in 1880 he
told the Irish people that they would win,
and events had proved the truth of his
words, so in a few days they would know
the truth of his declaration that they had
won a. settlement of this question that
would be everlastingly creditable to their
patriotism. They would gain a parliament
with real power to protect the interests of
every class, to settle the questions of land
and police, and to disarm and convert the
constabulary into a civil force under the
control of Ireland’s elected representatives.
The Standard interprets Mr. Parnell’s
speech at Ennis yesterday to mean that
Dillon and O’Brien have consented to unite
with him in cxtorting guarantees from the
Gladstouians. The Healyites, it says, will
be compelled to acquiesce or be hooted
down. ‘
The Times says: It would be interesting
to know whether Mr. Parnell’s utterances
were merely a bluff. It will be strange if
Ennis should prove a second time to be the
theatre of a. deliverance that is historic in
the fortunes of Parnell.
DUBLIN, Feb. 3.—The Freeman’s Journal
says: Seven times in the past seven weeks
Irish meetings have pronounced in favor
of Mr. Parnell. \Ve hope that soon the
reunited ranks of the Irish party, amid
the rejoicings of the Nationalists and the
despondency of the British c0ercionists,'
will re—enter the fight in behalf of Ireland.
\Vhat the Pope Thinks.
PARIS, Feb. 3.—The Figaro publishes an
interview with the pope in which the holy
father is represented as saying that if the
conservatives of France saw that it was
possible they should establish something
better than the republic. Otherwise they
should adha-e to the republic, which would
then be what they chose to make it. His
holiness believed it better to accomplish
something fairly well than to tolerate
things which were very bad. To support a
good republic was to fight against the in
auguration and establishment Of a. bad
one. The formation of a Catholic party in
France the pope believed to be an agree-
able dream, but only a dream. .
The Portugal Revolt.
LISBON, Feb. 3.—The Oporto town hall
was subjected to a. two hours’ bombard-
ment, and firing ceased only when it was
found there was danger that the building
would be completely wrecked. The dissat-
isfaction of military sergeants because of
failure to receive promotion at the same
time with the juniors is now said to have
been the principal cause of the revolt.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 3.—It is said that l
the Alliance leaders are already beginning i
to talk of Senator-elect Peffer as the Alli-
ance or third party candidate for president
in 1892. Speaker pro teni. Matchett re-
marked that such a thing would not be at
all out of the question.
Said he: “Kansas is going to be the lead-
er in the Alliance movement. The elec- .
tion of a United States senator and five
congressmen before the party is a year old ;
is a. greater victory than was 'ever achieved .
by anew party in any state. It puts Kan- E
sas in the front in this great movement,
and this state may be called upon to fur-
nish the presidential candidate. If Kan- :
sas names the leader in 1892 it is probable
that it would be the new United States ;
senator.”
