HIS ARGUMENT.

“But if a fellow in the castle there
Keeps doing nothing for a thousand years,
And then has—everything! (That isn‘t fair,
But it‘ll—what has to be. The milk boy hours
The talk they have about it everywhere.)

 

“Then, if the man there in the but, you knew,
With water you could swim in on the floor,

(And its the ground. The place is pretty, though,
With gold flowers on the roof and half a deorl)

Works—and can get no work and nothing more.

l"What I will do is—nothiugl Don't you see?
Then I‘ll have everything, my whole life
through.
But if I work, why I might always be ‘
Living in huts with gold flowers on them, too—
And half a door. And that won‘t do for me.“
——Sarah M. B. Piatt in The Century.

THIi WONDERFUL ISLAND.

It was in October, 1859, that I shipped as
second mate on the Starlight, which was then
lying in the port of Honolulu. We left the
port in ballast only, and were two men short
of our complement. Capt. Wheaten was a
Barnegnt man, and the crew all English
speaking people, and for the first fortnight no
ship ever had better weather.

At the end of the fortnight the fine weather
was broken by a rousing gale, which struck
us during my night watch, and all hands had
to be called. We had a hard time of it dur-
ing the first hour, and were finally compelled
to lie to, and it was while we were bringing
the ship to the wind that the captain was
washed overboard by a heavy sea which
boarded us. With him went one of \the
sailors, the hencoops, several spare spars and
booms, and a lot of deck raffle, and by the
time the ship had shaken herself clear of the
foam it was too late to render any asistanoe.
Indeed, it was a serious question just then
whether any of us would live another half
hour. The storm did not break for nearly
twenty hours, and the old ship was so strained
and knocked about that her life was ended.
The gale had scarcely abated when she began
to leak faster than the pumps could throw the
water out, and on the seventeenth day of the
voyage we had to abandon her. When we
had been afloat for four days in the open
boats we were picked up by the American
bark Yankee Boy, bound from Boston to San
Francisco.

0n the 4th day of Sept., 1860, as the Eng-

lish whaling ship Lady Bascombe was near-
ing the equator, being about midway be-
tween the Marquesas group and the Galapa-
gos, and the time being 11 o’clock at night,
she was hailed from out of the darkness, and
five minutes later had Capt. Wheaten
aboard. He had been afloat for three days
and a half on a small but well constructed
raft, which was provided with a sail, and had
carried him safely and buoyantly an estima-
ted distance of 120 miles. The captain was
in good health and spirits, but would answer
no questions until he had seen the captain of
thc Bascombe. The sailors knew that he
must have been wrecked, but that he should
be alone and in such seeming good health in
that dreary spot was a great mystery to them.
Capt. Moore of the Bascombe had heard of
the loss of the Starlight, and when Capt.
Wiicaton introduced himself he created a big
sensation. He was at first taken for an im-
postor; but he had letters and documents in
his pocket to prove his identity at once.
That being settled, he told his story. I have
heard him tell it four or five times over, and
can relate it almost word for word.

When Capt. TVhoaton was swept overboard
he gave himself up for lost. He got but one
look at the ship, and realizing that she was
driving away from him and he was beyond
rmcue, he ceased swimming and hoped to
drown at once. Just then a hencoop floated
within reach, and in a second he changed his
mind and fastened to the float. He was
clear on the point of floating all that day and
far into the night.
ness, but did not let go of his float. He re-
membered nothing of the next day until
about an hour ' before sundown, when he
opened his eyes and came to his senses to find
himself lying on the sands, his float near by,
and the storm cleared away. He was stiff
and sore and bewildered, and he crawled fur-
ther up the shore and went to sleep again,
and it was sunrise before he again opened
his eyes.' An hour later he knew that he was
on an island about three miles long by one
mile wide. It was well wooded, containing
several springs of fresh water, and there was
an abundance of wild fruits to sustain life.
There was not an inhabitant or sign of one,
nor did he find any living thing except birds
and monkeys.

Vv'heaton was not only a good seaman, but
a well educated and well posted man, and he
had sailed on the Pacific for many years;
There was hardly an island in that ocean
which he had not set foot on and could rec-
ognize by sight again. After a ,bit he began
to figure on its location, and he made out that
he had been driven ashore on an unknown.
and uncharted island lying very close to the
equator, and in longitude 120 degrees west.
This put him midway, on a northeast and
southwest line, between the Marquesas group
and the Galapagos Islands. He had visited
both groups, and as both were inhabited at
that time he could not have been mistaken in
his location had he gone ashore on any one of
them He found proofs satisfactory to him—
self that the island was of volcanic origin,
not ever 12 or 15 years old, and that the
luxuriant vegetation was due to the tropical
climate. The birds, of which there were
several species, could perhaps have flown
there from some of the other islands, but how
the monkeys reached the spot was a puzzler
the captain never got over. That he found
'em there was proved when he was rescued,
there being two pet animals on the raft.

When the castaway came to walk around
his island he found the wreck of the Scotch
brig McNeil en the cast shore, and the wreck
of the California ship Golden Bar on the
west coast. Both crafts had been reported
lost with all on board two or three years be-
fore. The one was a Whaler and the other a
trader. The captain not only said he found
them, but he had proofs again. He had the
name board of the ship and some papers bc-
longing to the brig. He found and buried the
skeletons of thirteen sailors, and among the
debris of the wrecks he secured a larva

- quantity of clothing, considerable money,
some bedding, a lot of tools, ropes, boards
and planks, and \Yithin a week he began the
work of building a boat to enable him to es-
cape.

I always felt that the old man must have
had a jolly life of it for the ten months and
over he was on what he called “TVneaton‘s
Island,” but he dwelt on the fact that it was
terribly lonely. It went harder with him,
because he had a wife and six children, and
he knew that they would be mourning his
death. He found several barrels of whisky
and a lot of tobacco in the plunder, but he
was not content to sit still and enjoy himself.
He put in two months on his boat, and had
just got her finished when a storm ‘set in and
she broke her moorings and drifted out to
sea. Anxiety and exposure, aided by the
worry about the folks at home, laid the old
mauon his back for several weeks, and he
probably had a close call from slipping his
cables. He got up slowly, and as he had been

 

wasteful with his materials, he found that he .

must turn to a raft if he ever got away. He
worked at it at odd hours, being ill and
despondent, for several months, and when it
was finished he hesitaedt a full month before
making a start, hoping every day to sight a
sail. He had a signal flying by day, and
almost every night he kept a re going, but
rescue never came.

One day, two weeks before he set out on
his voyage, the captain made a great dis-
covery. In a rough, wild place in the center
of the island, where a mass of rock was
thrown up in great confusion, he found a
lump of gold as big as your fist. Aye! more
than that, he found masses of it so heavy that
he could not lift them. These chunks, he said,
were as pure as his big nugget, and that I not
only held in my hand, but saw the certificate
of assay reading that it was 91 per cent. pure
gold. He sold it at the mint in San Francisco
for over $12,000, and that in my presence. In
the course of three or four days the captain
piled up such a heap of gold on his island that
he dared not estimate its value. There was
enough to make a. dozen men rich for life,
and more to be had with picks and iron bars.
Then the demon of avarice would not let
him wait any longer for rescue. Indeed, he
did not want to be rescued. He made

' his raft ready, cut branches and pulled
grass to hide his nuggets, and set sail
with a fair wind to the northeast, hoping to
get into the track of ships bound for the
Sandwich Islands. He was picked up as I
have told you and was taken to the Sandwich
Islands as a castaway, and thence, with
money found on his unknown island, he paid
his passage to San Francisco. It was at this
latter port he found me, and within two
hours after meeting him I had his story. I
had no reason to doubt its entire truth.
Three or four others were taken into the
secret, and we formed a syndicate to go after
the gold. I had had a legacy of $8,000 from
an aunt, and five of us chipped in an equal
amount and bought a schooner and fitted her
out and manned her. Something of Capt.
Ithaton’s wonderful adventure got into the
papers, and there was great anxiety to find
out where we were going. We had ten times
as many men offer their services as we could
accept, and when the story of the big lump
of gold was whispered around two other
craft fitted out to fellow us. We went out
of the harbor ens dark and stormy night,
and two or three days before we were sup-
posed to be ready, and thus gave them the
slip. One of the vessels stood up the coast
when ready to come out, and the other
headed for the Sandwich Islands and was 10%
in a gale. _

As the captain had 89,000 in the enterprise,
and had not even waited to visit his family,
who were only 250 miles from San Knuckle,
the reader must credit him with honestly be,
lieving all he asserted. As I had an equal
amount invested, the reader must believe that
I am writing of things as they honestly
looked to me. How could I or any one else
disbelieve ? There was the nugget, there the
papers and relies, and the English captain
knew of the raft and its lone passenger being
picked up 700 miles from any known. land.

Then he lost conscious-~

 

There w'a’sn’t the feast difficulty in ilidk'ing
others believe, either. I think we could have
raised $200,000 capital if there had been need
of it. The trouble was to keep capItalrsts

d s ulators out.
a’nWhlieleufton had no sooner been rescued than
he asked for the Englishman’s latitude and
longitude. Then he figured on the direction
and strength of the wind and the progress of
his raft, and he had the location of hIs Island
down to within five miles. I have had nuncrs
and geologists tell me that no gold was ever
found in a volcanic upheaval from the sea. If
not, where did the captain got that big lump?
There is no geld 011 any charted 1slaud In the
Pacific, and he certainly could not have drift-
ed to or put off on his raft from the coast of
South America. It is easy enough to sneer
at a story, but not so easy to get around cold
facts.

We had a fine run to Honolulu, and re-
mained there for a week to make some needed
repairs and lay in more provisions and water.
Capt. “’11an there met a fellow captain
named Bridges, who commanded a New Bed-
ford whaler, and without a suspicion of what
he ‘was doing this man greatly discouraged
us. He had just come in from a long cruise,
which the chart showed must have taken him
very near the unknown island. He had not
sighted it, but the logbook reported that
when in that neighborhood something like an
earthquake had occurred. Indeed, one did
occur, and a new island was born to the Gal-
apagos group. The ship rocked violently in
mid-ocean, and a sort of tidal wave came
near being her destruction. Next day the
whaler encountered my green trees float-
ing about, and he said to Capt. Wheaten that
he had no doubt some island had been over-
whelmed. He had no suspicions of our er-
rand, and related the above simply as an ad-
venture. However, from that hour we all
lost heart. Figure as we would we could not
shake off the conviction that it was the un—

, known island which had been destroyed in

the same manner it was born.
After a long and tedious run from the
Sandwich Islands we finally drew near the

, location. Then for days and days we sailed

to and fro, and at length realised that the
island had gone. It was not there to enrich
us and to prove the captain’s story, but still
we found proofs. We discovered more than
100 trws floating about as we sailed this way
and that, and after we had given up all
hopes we made a still greater find. The boat
which Wheaten had made and lost turned up
there on that vast expanse of sea. It was
sighted from the masthead one morning, and
two hours later we had it alongside. It was
waterlogged, but floating well enough for all
that, and its find was the strongest link in
the whole chain. We hoisted her on board
and brought her to San Francisco to exhibit
to the silent stockholders in our enterprise,
and that relic was the only thing we could
show them.

That’s my story, gentlemen, and if you’re
unsatisfied you are no worse off than your
humble servant, who lost his all in the vent-
ure—New York Sun.

TRAFALGAR SQUARE.

HORRIBLE CONDITION OF THE POOR
PEOPLE OF LONDON.

 

A Story of Frlglitful Poverty—An Ameri-
can Lady’s Experience—A Starving
Family—The Camping Ground of an
Army of Pauper-s.

The horrible condition of Trafalgar square
at night grows worse. Despite the rain and
cold shivering wretchos continue to cover the
stones of the square every night, and the
place has recently become the resort for curi-
ous gay young bucks. After dining out in
the Strand, they pass by there to throw down
a few coppers and to heighten, perhaps, the
appreciation of their own blessings by :
glimpse of the extreme of misery. Travelers
also, especially Americans, who fill the huge
hotels about the square, visit the place regr.
larly as one of the sights of London. Many
astory will seen be told in America of the
frightful poverty of London, and the listen-
ers will have the satisfaction of knowing
that the facts cannot possibly be exaggerated.

I talked with an American lady who went
there at night with some friends and was
frightened into hysterics within a few
moments. She is a charitable young mar-
ried woman, who, by the way, was recently
a visitor at theWhite House. In a. moment
of sympathy she handed a coin to a poor
man. In a second, she said, the entire pave-
ment seemed to rise up and come rushing at
her. She had not noticed that the whole sur-
face of the square was covered with stretched
out men and women, many of them almost
half naked, of whom a half hundred had
crushed and struggled round her in the hope
of charity. Fortunately the policemen, who
are regularly on duty there, came running
up, and no serious result followed the impru-
dence of displaying money in such company.

' A sranvmc FAMILY.

George Matthews, the son of James Mat-
thews, of The Buifalo Express, went with his
bride to see if it was as bad as hadbeen de-
scribed. The first group he came upon on
the outskirts of the camp was a woman lying
asleep on the bare stones with a young baby
in her arms, while a man walked up and
down beside her muttering and cursing to
himself. These were respectable lookin
people, Matthews says, though half cloth
and probably starving. He gave the man
some silver, and waking the woman and tak-
ing the child in his arms, the man said:
“Thank you; you are extremely kind,” told
his wife to thank the lady, and started, act-
ually nmning, to a stand near, where hot
coffee, bread, butter, etc., could be bought
for a few pence. Matthews did not care to
have his wife see anything more, and stopped
his investigations. '

For several days past a large number of
thepoor people have continued throughout
the day in the square, after having spent the
night there. Hundreds of them are to be
seen there new all day long. What they eat
and how they live is a mystery. Policemen
are regularly detailed to patrol what has
become the recognized camping ground of
poverty. The inhabitants of the camp are
made to keep close to the high stone wall
bounding the Pall Mall side of the square.
From Pall Mall hundreds of spectators look
down all day long at the curious sights—
women stretched at full length sleepingin
their rags, and men quarreling over the to«
bacco or coppers occasionally thrown down.
Last night there was unusual jollification and
feasting in the camp. Men drove up with a
wagon full of bread. The way in which it
was seized and devoured showed plainly how
goat is the misery there—London Cor. New

ork Sun.

 

Senator Stanford's Horses.

C Senator Stanford has perhaps Inore money
in horses than any other man in the country.
A friend of his tells me that his stables at
Palo Alto cover ten acres, and that he has
thirty or forty one acre lots surrounded by
walls which he uses as circuses, or places in
which to keep his brood mares. He keeps
011 the average 800 horses at Palo Alto. and
breeds here some of the finest colts in the
country. His average is nearly a colt a day
the year round, and during the breeding sea-
son he has often as many as a dozen births in
twenty-four hours. It takes 150 men to care
for these horses, and some of the finest,
which are worth 3%,000 or $30,000 apiece,
have a man allotted to each. The man stays
with his horse all the time, and in fact sleeps
with him.

.,« At the Palo Alto farm the horses do not
have ordinary stalls. They are kept in boxes
or circuses, and there is a corps of veterinary
surgeons there. Senator Stanford is a home-
opathist in regard to his horses. He does not
give them strong medicines when they are
sick, nor does he allow them to be whipped.
Iiis horses know him, and they run up to
him when he comes home to California from
the senate and put their noses against him.
He has a country seat within a mile of his
stables and he drives down every evening
and takes a seat on one of his race tracks and
has his jockeys exercise some of his favorite
horses before him. He will often have five
or six horses in sulkies driving abreast about
the ring, and at times there Will be a dozen
on the track, some going this way and some
that. The tracks are 100 feet wide and be him
a. number of them. He has his horsestrained
every day in the year, and this, in connection
with the good climate and their careful
breeding, has made them among the best in
the world. His horses have taken the prizes
at a number of competitive races within the
pastfew years, and the batters are not afraid
to bet upon them, because they know in his
case there will be no jockeying.

Speaking of jockeys, Stanford has eighteen
or twenty jockeys at this Pale Alto farm,
and Mrs. Stanford has established a school
for them and the other children connected
with the stables. It is held at night, and
many of the jockeys are profiting by it.
Senator Stanford has a boarding house here,
at which he keeps his mel. The food is plain,
but good, and the senator often eats with
them—Washington Letter.

A Philadelphia Man Abroad.

Some men use their mouths for a footstool;
that is, they never open their months unless
they put, etc, etc—you know the old maxim.
I heard one of that kind talking today. He
was from Philadelphia and had just met a
lady (unmarried) from the same place. She
wasn't as young as she was ten years age,
but that is none of our business.

“Ah,” he said, with a smile of recognition.
when she told him where she lived, “ah, so
you are from Philadelphia?"

“Yes," she replied with the true Philadel-
phian pride. _

“I am from there, too," he continued.
“Have you resided there long?”

“Oh, I was born therel"

“Indeed! You’ve lived there a long, long
time, haven’t you?”

He said itns innocently as a stupid man
could, but the young woman didn’t accept it
so, and half an hour afterwards he was ask
ing me what made Miss Blank treat him so

unkiudly. '
Of course I told him—Foreign Letter.

out lnfiaming healthy organs. Physicians prescribe
and recommend Purine in the above stated com-
plaints and we are constantly receiving the hi heat

WASTE.

To one he sent his strong man‘s heart laid bare,
Quivcring with hope and fear. A cruel hand
Seemed pressing hard upon a torn, hot nerve!
Nothing he kept, not even his fierce pride.
Unfaithful to another—to her true,

Complete surrender of his heart and life.

 

The second letter was indifferent,

Save for an old time name he knew she loved;
Ho snatched a fading flower from his coat

And crushed its purple blood against the words,
That she- might know, for all his city life,

He still recalled her love for violetsl

The one to whom he wrote with lashes wet
(Ills pleading was so strong and passionate),
llcad with fierce scorn his letter—flung it by—
And. later, answered in a mocking tone.

The other died. Upon her broken heart

We: found a locket with his face inside—

A tender word. out from his letter—and

A violet.

A FIRST BATTLE RECORD.

The Sixth Alabama's Desperate Charge
Ufidor Gordon at Seven Pines.

One day in the spring of 1861, when the
clans of the Confederacy were gathering,
there trumped into Montgomery, then the
temporary capital, a company of gaunt, wild
eyed, jeans clad men. As they marched along
in irregular files, with an every man for him-
self air, somebody on the sidewalk called out:

“What command is that?”

"Independent Rifles," wasthe reply shouted
back from the ranks.

“Independent Rifles,” a spectator echoed
with a grin.

“Raccoon Roughs," came from the free and
easy ranks; “I reck’n that’ll suit you has."

Every man in the company were a coonsk'in
cap, and “the Raccoon Roughs" they were
from that time on. The command had been
recruited from the miners and mountaineers
of the northwest corner of Georgia and the
northeast corner of Alabama, They were
neighbor! and fellow workmen, when mei-
atiafis lapped ever sate lines. Their oaphin
was John B. Gordon, at press-till. governor
of Georg . but he didn’t hold the position
long. “ Raccoon Roughs" were mobil-
ized with some other companies and became
the Sixth Alabama, to the command of which
Capt. Gordon was elected.

At Sewn Pines the Sixth Alabama re-
ceived its baptism of fire. Before that there
had been Elmo skirmishing, but this was the
first battle, and, as Governor Gordon describes
the scenes, they make up for the regiment a
first battle record which probably is without
parallel on either side. A shade comes over
the governor’s expressive face and his voice
grops to lower tones when he talks of that

ay.

“I sturbd on the charge," he says, “with
600 men in my regiment. When the fighting
ended at nightfall 306 of the we lay on the
field dead or wounded. My lieutenant col-
onel was killed. Of forty-four commisioned
oflicers only thirteen came out of that day's

. fighting unscathed.

“I had a brother with me—e. boy,” Gover-
nor Gordon continued “He was shot through
the right lung, but he recovered, only to die
with Stonewall Jackson at macaw.

holes in my clothes when night come, but was
not wounded. One ball Inked am my
chest, and would have shattered my right
armifIhadn’tituplifted topeint with my
sword a movement I wantedmy command to
make.

“The Sixth Alabama," the governa- went
on, “was opposite a portionef the Redeml
line which thatside had no idea would be
taken. We made the dealt in the forenoon.
There was a charge across the open field, per-
haps a. distance of 500 yards. Then we came
to breastworks behind which the ,Pedenls
were as thick as they could stand. As we
went over their lines we found the evidences
that they had no idea of being driven back.
Cookingv'vasgoingon, and inahouseameal
had been prepared for an omoen’ mesa. We
followed them back of the works and into a.
swamp where a great many trees had been
felled. It was impomble to go ahead, and
there we stopped, stood in the waiver up to
our knees and fought till dark. I had to de-
tail men in theretohold the heads of the

“No,” replied the governor, after a little

‘ Great as Gotham is, unquestionably as is
its metrqaoiitan chamomr, all abiding as is
its, domination in commerce and in trade, it
must be conceded that the foreign element
has so long held possession of our municipal-

channel of influence and of rule. that the
native spirit, the pride of home, which have
done so much to adorn Boston and to make it
beautiful among its sisters, here has absolute-
ly settled into a rut of indiflerence, and the
few public efilgies we have are just this side
