Bat he never seemed to me to change a hair afterward. As I imagine his life, from what I have seen and heard of It, he must have been In every sea, and yet almost never on land. He must have known In a formal way, more officers in our service than any man living knows. He told me once, with a grave smile, that no man in the world lived so methodical a life as he. "Jou know the boys say am the Iron Mask, and you know how busy he was." He said It did not do for anyone to try to read all the time, more than to do anything else all the time but that he read Just five hours a day. "Then," he said, "I keep up my note books, writing in them at such and such hours from what I have been' reading and I include In them my scrapbooks." These were very curious Indeed. He had six or eight, of differ ent subjects._ There was one of his tory, one of natural science, one which he called "Odds and Ends." But they were not merely books of extracts from newspapers. They had bits of plants and ribbons, shells tied on, and carved scraps of bone and wood, which There Appeared Nolan he had taught the men to' cut for him, and they were beautifully illustrated. He drew'admirably.-. ITe had some of .the funniest drawings there, and some the most pathetic, that I have ever !en In my life. I wonder who will aave Nolan's' scrapbooks. Well, he said his reading and his notes were his profession, and that they took Ave ""hours and two hours respectively of each day. "Then," said he* "every man should have a di version as.-well%as a profession. My natural history is my diversion." That took two hours a day more.

Then If anybody was sick- or died, or if the captain wanted him to on any other occasion, he was always ready to read prayers. I have remarked that he read beautifully. T111 THT BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER My own acquaintance with Philip Nolan began six or eight years after the war, on my first voyage after I was appointed a midshipman. It was In the flrsfdays after our sjave trade treaty, while the reigninghouse, which was still the house of Virginia, had still a sort of sentlmentalism about the suppression of the horrors of the middle passage, and something was' sometimes, tfen* tftM',^j- We, were in th Soutt Atlan%, on^ thai business. Fro,nvffie,ttnij J##t believe I thought Np^an w a prt of lay'chaplaina cbapleln^Wth a. blue coat I never asked about him. Ew erything In the- ship was strange to me. I knew it was green to ask Ques tions, and I suppose, thought there was a "Plain-Buttons" on every ship. We had htm to dine, in our mess once a week, and the caution was given that on that day nothing was to be. said about home.. But if they had told us not to say anything about the planet Mars or the book of Deuteronomy, I should not have asked why there were a great many things which seemed to me to have as little reason. I first came to understand anything about "the man without a coutotry"! one day when we overhauled a dirty little schooner which had slaves" on board. An officer was sent to take eharge of her, and after a few minutes he sent back his boat to ask that someone might be sent him who could'speak Portuguese. We were all looking over the rail when the message' came, end we all wished we could interpret) when the captain asked who spoke Por tuguese. But none of tte officers did and Just as the captain waft sending forward to ask if any-of the people could, Nolan stepped but an^aaldThe should be glad to interpret, if the cap tain wished, as he understood the Ian* guage. The captain thanked him, fit ted out another boat with him, and in this boat it was my luck to go. When we got there, it was mch scene as you seldom see, and never want to. Nastlness beyond "account, and chaos run loose In the midst of the nastlness. There were not a great many of the negroes but by way of making what there were understand that they were free, Vaughan had bad their handcuffs and anklecuffs knocked off, and, for convenience* sake, was putting them upon the rascals of the schooner's crew. The negroes were, most of them, out of the hold, and swarming all round the dirty deck, with a central throng surrounding Vaughan and addressing him in every dialect and patois of a dialect, from the Zulu click up to the Parisian of Beledeljereed. As we cane on deck, Vaughan looked down from a hogshead, on which he had mounted in desperation, and said: "For' God's love, Is' there anybody who can make these wretches under stand something? .The men gfive them rum, and that did not quiet them. I knocked that big fellow down*'twice, and that did not soothe him. Alfa then I talked Choctaw to all of tnem to gether and I'll be hanged If they un derstood that as well as they1 so* ffie bay Just In 'sight of Tiome, "arid that he has never seen anybody from home since then. And this one says," choked out Nolan, "that he has not heard a word from his home in six months', while he has been .locked up In. an Infernal barracoon.". ,'AVaugban always" said he grew gray himself while Nolan struggled through this interpretation. I, who did not va rjjerstan~djpjanfthlng of tb$, passion in volved' i w that thie. very ele ments w1% ipeltlng wJth fervent heat and tlMo%thIng was t^poy ,-sbme- where, the negroes, themselves stopped howling as they saw Nolan's agony, and Vaiighan's almost equal agony of sympathy: As quick as he could get words, he said: "Tell them yes, yes tell them they shall go to the Mountains, of the Moon, if they will. If I eall the schooner through the Great White'Desert, they shall go home!". And after some fashion Nolan said SO. Anl then, they, all, fell,to. kissing (To be continued). CLASSIFIED W'l l^'f! NOTICE under- stood the English." Nolan said he could speaV Por tuguese, and one or two fine-looking Krpomen were dragged out, who*, as It had been found already, had worked for the Portuguese on the coast at Fernando Pc^^/x "Tell them they "are free," said Vaughan "and tell them that these rascals are to be hanged as soon as we can get rope* enough." Nolan explained it in such' Portu guese as the Kroomen could under stand, and they in turn to sucn of the negroes as could understand tnem. Then there was such a yell of delight, cllndilng of fists, leaping and dancing, kissing of Nolan's feet, and a general rush made to the hogshead by way of spontaneous worship of Vaughan as "the deus ex machine of the occasion. "Tell them," said Vaughan, well pleased, "that I will take them all to Cape Palmas." This did not answer so well. Cape Palmas was practically as far from the homes of most of them as New Or leanror Rio Janeiro was that is, they would be eternally separated from home there. And their,interpreters, as we could understand, Instantly said, "Ah, non Palmas," and began to pro pose Infinite other expedients In most voluble language. Vaughan was rath er disappointed at this result of his liberality, and asked Nolan eagerly what they said. The drops stood on poor Nolan's white forehead as he hushed the men down, and said: "He says, 'Not Palmas.' He says, Take us home, take us to pur coun try, take us to our own house, take us to our own pickaninnies and our own women.' He says he has an old father and mother, who will die, if they do not see him. And this one says he left his people all sick, and paddled down.4o come and help them, and that these devils caught him in Advertisements in this column cost half sect A word per issue, when paid cash in advance.
