A T II. E OF THE VACIF1C COAST.
NigLt waf setting in a clear, star
liglit niiibt as a email armed brig
was wurliDg her waj into a little
bay upon tbe western coast of Mexico.
8 be was a trini-liuilt craft, and Dot
too deeply laden to conceal tbe sym
metry of her dark and exquisitely
modeled hull. Tbe cleanness of her
run, tbe elegance of ber lines, tbe
rake of ber tdeuder masts, and tbe
cut of ber sails, showed ber, at a
glance, to be a Baltimore built clip
per at tbe time of which we speak
some years ago, tbe fastest thing up
on tbe ocean. She was working to
windward against a light breeze, and
bence was unable to exhibit any
thing of ber qualities, though a sea
man's eve would have decided at
glance that she could sail like
witch. Tbe antbe, for that was tbe
name inscribed in gilt letters on her
stern and sideboards, might bare
been a dangerous customer in a brush
for ber armament consisted of ten
brass eigbteens, and ber crew of six
ty nii-ked seamen an abundance of
men to work tbe brn, and serve her
batteries with satisfaction and credit.
Not to keep the reader any longer
in suspense with regard to her char
acter and purpose, we will inform
bim that tbe Zanthe was a smuggler,
and for some years bad been engaged
in tbe illegal game of defrauding the
revenue ol the Mexican republic.
Sbe was commanded by a Scotch
man named Morris, and ber first
mate was a i ankee, answering to
the bail of Pardon X. Simpkins, as
gallant a fellow and as good a sea
man a3 ever trod a plank. It was
her custom to land contraband goods
at different points upon tbe coast
w here lighters ere kept concealed,
and where tbe merchandise was ta
ken charge ol by tbe shore gang
numerous and wcli-appointed body
of picked men, mounted and armed
to the tretb, and provided with
large number of mules for transporting
the goods into t.e interior. The
merchandise, lightered off from tbe
brig, was bidden in tbe rhnpj.arral,
if it came on rbore before tbe mule
trains were readv, and it was
piled up with combustableg, in such
a mariner that, should tbe vigilantes
surprise tbem in cunc;ent numbers
to eflcct a seizure, and overcome re-
distance, a match thrown among the
booty secured its destruction in a
few moments. A smoke by day and
a lire bv nigbt, upon the is bore, was
tbe signal for tbe brig to approach
and come to anchor.
Tbe Zanthe, as we before said,
slowly worked her wav to her an
chorage. Une by ope ber svbite sails,
on which tbe last flush of the sunset
fires bad just faded, were all furled,
and, ber anchors dropped, she swung
round with the tide, and rode safely.
A Bengola light was displayed lor a
moment from tbe foretop, and an
swered by another from tbe shore.
"All right, cap'n," said the mate,
walking alt to where Moirm was
standing, near tbe wheel. "Tbe
critters have seen us, and that are
Grework means that there aim no
vigilantes round about. I spote we
shall bev the lighters alongside airly
in tbe morula'."
"Yes," said tbe captain. "I won
der whether Ion Martinez is with
the shore gang."
"Not knowin', cant say," replied
the mate. "Most likely he is, how-sonidever-'cause
our cargo is valua
ble, and he'd be likely to look after
it."
"You know, 1'ardoQ," said the
captain, "this is to be our last voy
age." "Exactly," auswered the mate.
"Aud 1 hope it will turn out well
for the oweera. For my part, I'm
tired of this life. Circumstances in
duced me to adopt it; but 1 can't say
that in my conscience 1 have ever
approved it. "
"VYby, cap'n, jou astonish me!''
exclaimed tbe mate. "You don't
mean to Ear that yon think it's any
barm to cheat tbe greaaera."
"Yes, I do," replied tbe captain,
shaking bis bead. "And I thiuk tbe
aggravation of tbe offence is, that 1
am an adopted citizen of tbe repub
lic of tbe stars and stripes. I am en
gaged in defrauding the Government
of a sister republic."
"A pretty sort er sitter republic,"
replied tbe mate disdainfully. "A
poor miserable set of thievin' throat
cuitin', monte-playin', bean-eatin'
grifftns. If our Government had bad
spunk, we'd have pitched into 'em
I long ago. And it was only because

haven't licked 'em into spun yarn."
"But suppose, Fardon, we should
be (a chance that, thank Heaven, has
never yet occurred) over-hauled
one of their revenue cutters."
"Tho little Zanthe could walk
away from her like a racer from a
plough horse." '
"IJut supposing we were surprised,
and lay where we couldn't run."
' Cap'n," said Pardon, glancing! "My name," taid tbe officer, giant
along tbe grim batteries of tbe Zanthe, j iDg from a paper he held in hi-; hand.
''do you see them are lovely bull
dogs? And them are sturdy Jacks
what's a sit'.in' on the breeches of
the guns? What on airtb fhey made
for? A couple of broadsides, star
board and larboard, would settle tbe
hash of the smartest revenue cutter
that ever dipped her fore foot in the
water." I
"And tbe after - thought would
Dever trouble yon, Pardon?"
"Never! 'shelp me, Bob." replied
the mate, energetically. "Greasers
isn't human bein's. Besides, it's all
fair play, life, for life, and the gentle
man with the single'; fluke tail take
the loser. Aint they set a price on
our beds? Eight thousand dollars on
your'n, and live thousand on mine?
I never was worth five thousand
down at Portland; ' but if they've
marked me op too high, its tbeir own
lookout They'll never be railed up
on to pay it. But this yellin' a fel

wood, is excessively'aggravatin', and
gets a fellur'a mad up. But, hallo,
cap'n here comes a shore boat. I'll
bet it's Pon Martiner.."
A tow boat, manned by eight
Mexicans, with a muffled figure in
tbe stern sheet, nownulled out tor
tbe brig, and soon laMalongside. On
being challenged, a preconcerted
watchword was given in reply, and
tbe oars being shipped, a couple of
boat books held tbe beat fast at tbe
foot of tbe starboard side ladder.
This done, tbe person in tbe stern
sheets arose and prepared to ascend
the brig's side.
"Petticoats, by thunder!" muttered
tbe mate. "What does this mean,

O, I come furnished with creden

And, chuckling at tbu idea, he put
an extra quia in ins moutn, and
ruminated in a better frame of mind.
Id tbe morning, Mr. Simkins turn
ed out betimes to . prepare for the
landing of a portion of the cargo; aud
be was busied in bis duty, wben au

have startled a less ready and self
possessed man than tbe mate of the
Zanthe.
Suddenly rounding tbe headland
on the Dorth, a cutter, witb tbe Mex
ican flag flying at ber niizzen peak,
and the muzzles of ber guns gleam
ing through tbe port-boles, came in
view of tbe astonished mate. She
stood iiat) the bay, till within rifle
shot of the bow of tbe Zanthe. wben
sbe dropped her sails and came to
anchor.
As sLe accomplished this mannuver,
tbe mate mastered tbe crew, ran out
his guns, which were all shotted, and
then quietly roused tho captain and
brought bim on deck.
"Tbat looks a little wicked, cap'n,"
said tbe mate, pointing at the reve
nue cutter.
Tbe captain shook bis bead.
"Now, cap'n," said tbe mate, brisk
ly, "just speak tbe word, and I'll

ling down on tbe breech of a gun,

'Captain Moreua," said Morris,
"before we proceed to business, d j
me the favor to walk iuto my cabin.
While we are below," he added, "I
trust your men will be ordered not
to maltreat my poor fellows."
The Mexican Captain glanced,
wiiu some surprise, at the formidable
array of men upon the deck of tbe
j Zanthe, and then, afar a few words
iu Spunihs to his beat's crew follow
ed the captain and mate into the cab
in. Captain Moreua was a very 6ne

himself carelessly on the trau.soin,
and laid hiri sword up the cabin

seated themselves on camp stools.
"Senor capitan," said Morris, '"I
trust, though it be eaily in the day,
that you bae no objection to take a

The Mexican assented to the prop
osition, and the steward produced a
bottle, glasses, and cigars.
"Your health, captain," said Mor

"Decidedly," auswered Morris.
"Or working, for life ou tba high

would think preferable to both."
"Cup'n Morris," said the male
speaking in English, ''it strikes me
that our friend in the hairy face is a
leetle grain out in Lis reckoning;!

"You are right, Pardon." said

Morena," he added, speaking in
Spanish, "you lave made a small
mistake; you are mj prisoner, sir.
Nay, start not; you are completely
in my power. Pare to breatLc anoth
er word of meuaee, or offer to resist
me, and the Yengador shall go to
Pavy Joues'. Pass me that sword."
Morena, taken bv surprise, obeyed.
"(i' me his toastin' fork, cap'n,"
said the mate, "and I'll lock it up in
my state-room;" which was done al
most as soon as said.
"And, now, Captain Morena,'' said
.Morris, 'just walk on deck aud ex
plain matters to your people, aud
then I'll show you how fast a Yan
kee crew and Mexican lightermec
can uuload a contrabandista "
Thev adjourned to the deck, and
the Mexican captain was compelled
to remain an inactive witness, while
boat-load after boat-load of contra
band goods was landed under his
own eyes, and tne very guns of Lis
cutter. Wben tbe work was fioish
eJ, Captain Mtrris approached
Morena, add said.
Captain, I have a wonl to say to
you. 1 am going up the coast fifty
miles, to land the remainder of my
cargo at Santa Uosara. (jive me
your word lhat you will not follow
and molest me, that you will not
breathe a word of what you have
seen and beard, and I will restore
your sword and release you on pa
role." Tbe revenue captain gave the re
quired pledge, and bis sword was re
stored; aft?r which his men were per
mitted to man tbe barge.
i'And now, captain, one bumper at
partiDg," said tbe bospitible Morris.
"The steward has just opeued a fresh
bottle, and besides, I have a pleasant
surprise for you."
As tbey entered the cabin, Moreua
star'ed back and uttered an exclama
tion as his eyes fell on the beautiful
face and graceful figure of the Mexi
can senorita, who had taken ber seat
at tbe tab'e
"Maria!" be exclaimed.
' Yes," replied the lady., with
sparkligg eyes and heightened color. !
"I have escaped your power. Tbe
man who basely sought to coerce my
inclinations has been ba filed, and
ere another sua has set, I shall be tbe
bride of the smuggler Martinez "
"Malediction!" cried the Mexican.
"Come, come, cap'o," said the
mati, "take a born, and settle your
proud stomach."
''Never," said the Mexican. "A cure
on all of ye!" and be sprang to the
deck, threw himself in o his barge,
and was soon aboard of the cutter.
"As the clipper brig, witb all her
canvass set, and her larboard tacks
aboard, bowed gracefully to tbe fresh
ening breeze, and bowled away un
der tbe stern of tbe Mexican cutter,
tbe mate said to tbe captain
"Cap'n, I wish you'd just let me
give lhat fellur a broadside, if it was
only just to clean the guns, afore I
run 'em in."
"No, no," replied the captain, smil
ing, "honor bnjrht, my boy.
We'll '
keep our word to bim."
"That's more than he'll do to us.'iup aad jagged a pio in tbe baby
answered tbe mate, "or I don't know 1

j tho nature of a greaser. One broad-
side from our starboard battery
! would settle him, and save all
' ture trouble, and make everv tbinz
! ph-asant and comfortable on all sides."
But Captain Morris would not lis-
ten to reason, and so the guns were
secured, and tbe ports closed, and
' the little Zanthe went bounding on
! her coursj to auta Kosara.
1 Shu came to anchor in a deep
; bay which she entered at nightfall,
: and almost immediately a shore-boat,
under the command of Martinez,
boarded the brig. The meeting lie -
ttveenllie smuggler and bis bride
was s. affectionate as to "call a tear
even into the eye of Mr Pardon G.
SimpkiDS. Tbe smuggler laughed
loudly wheu he beard of tbe discom
Gture of Captain Moreua, tbe dis
carded suitor of the senorita Maria.
The next day all bands were em
ploye. 1 ia landiuir tbe remainder of
the curo, and at niilit a very wor
thy and accommodating priest caiue
off lrtnu the shore, and united Mar
ti ic Maria in the bands of holy mat
rimony, the nuptials were cele
brated with great rejoiciogs and rev
elry, aud the fun was kept up
till a late hour of the night, when,
the happy couple retired to tbe cabin.
The first faint streaksof dawn were
beginning to appear in the eat t, when
the ever-vigilant ear of th j mate who
never took a wink of sleep while tbe
brig was lying on shore, detected tbe
cautious plunge of oars, and soon be
descried a barge pulling towards
the brig
'"Catch a weasel asleep," said tbe
Yankee to himself; "tnese greasers
dou't know as much as a farrar ben."
And without arousing tbe captain, he
quietly mustered the crew, and with
us little noise as possible, the guns
were run out upon tbe starboard
side, which the boat was fast ap
proaching. A raoi.eat afu-r he bailed. No
answer was given, but tbe light ot
the lantern flashed on tbe arms of a
iarge body of men, and tbe mate rec-
osrm.cd the figure of tbe captain
jthe Vengador in the stern sheets.
j "Sheer off,"' shouted the mate, "or
j by the shade of Gia'ral Jackson, I'll
I blow vou all to lavy Jones."
Pull for your lives," shouted tbe
voice of Morena; and tbe boat bound
ed towards the brig.
"Fire!" cried the mate.
Crash went the guns! The iron
hurtled through the air, and tbe splin
tering of wood, as tbe metal struck
the barge, was distinctly heard amid
the groans and shrieks of the vigi
lantees. In oi.e nnnient it wes all over.
.Morris and Martinez rushed to
to the deck.
"What's tbe matter, Pardon?" ask
ed the former.
"Nothing, cap'n cap'n nothing,"
answered the mate. "Only there
ain't quite so many greasers in the
world at present as there was five
minutes since. Morena broke bis
parole, and tried to board us by sur
prise, and I gin' him my starboard
battery that's ail."
' "Then I'm off for blue water!"
cried the captain.
"And I for tbe mountains!" said
Martinez. "Tbe mules are all pack
ed and the horses saddled. The vig
iiuutes must w ear sharp spurs if they
catch us."
It was a hurried parting tbat of
the smuggler and his bride with tbe
captain and male of tbe Zantbe. But
thny got safely on shore, and the
whole band effected tbeir escape.
The Zanthe spread her wings, and
some days afterwards was crossing
the equator. She was never known
again as a free trader. Tbe captain
and male bud both "made tbeir
piles,'' and after arriving at the At
lantic Mates retired from sea. Par
don G. Simpkins took up bis resi
dence in Boston, and during tbe late
war with Mexico was very promi
nent iu his denunciations of that re
public, and very liberal in his dona
tions to tbe Massachusetts regiment,
to the members of which his parting
admonition was to "give tbem greas

They have had a very dreadful
lime at Perkins's witb Perkins's baby.
It seems that the child was very rest
less and troublesome at nigbt, and
they couldn't manage to make it
sleep even by dosing it with pare
goric aud other narcotics. Perkins
at last got perfectly desperate. He
remembered reading somewhere an
account of the power of mesmerizing
persons, and it occurred to him that be
might mesmerize tbe baby and keep
it quiet in that manner. He hadn't
any great hopes of success, but one
night while Sirs. Perkins was down
stairs getting some sugar to put in
the paregoric, Perkins rubbed tbe
child's evebrows and made some
passes with bis band, and to bis grat
ification the baby suddenly went to
sleep.
When tbey awoke in the morning
the child was still slumbering, and
Mrs. Perkins said - she guessed it
must have gotten a tooth through,
which made il feel easier. Perkins
said that he thought probably it had.
After breakfast be went up stairs
to see if it was awake yet, but it
wasn't, aud so, after giving it two or
three rough shakes without arousing
it, be went down to get bis bat to go
to the cilice. Mrs. Perkins called af
ter him:
' Pon't slam the frout door to wake
up tbe baby."
And then Perkins did slam it fear
fully, and he went away with gloom
in his heart and a horrible apprehen
sion that tbat baby would never
wake up.
"What in ibe thunder 'd we do if
baby should stay asleep and live to
be fifty or sixty years old and not
get awake once?" said Perkins to
himself.
Tbe thought was maddening. It

ble smile at his attempt at joking.
"Mr Perkins you ought to be
ashamed of yoorself to trifle with
such a matter. I believe tbe poor
child's going to die, and I want you
logo right straight for Ihe doctor."
Perkius put on his Lat and started,
and in half an hour ho reached the
house in company with Pr. Gills.
The doctor examined the child care
fully, and said tbat it was a tery
queer case, but that in his opinion it
must be under the influence of opium.
"Pid you give it any wbile 1 was
asleep last night Mr. Perkins?" ask
ed Mrs. Perkins suspiciously and
tearfully.
"No, I'll take my solemn oath tbat
I didn't," replied Perkins.
"It is extraordinary," said Pr.
Gills. "I think I will go and rail
Pr. Brown and consult with him
about it."
Then Mrs. Perking began to sob,
and Perkins felt ibat be was almost
a murderer. He followed the doc
tor down stairs, and wben they reach
ed tbe ball be said:
"Poctor, if 12 tell you something
you won't give me away on ii!"
"No."
"Well, doctor, I mesmerized the
baby!"
"You did!" exclaimed the doctor
in an astonished tone. "Well, why
don't you rouse it up again?"
"I don't know bow; that's the
mischief of ii! Can't you find me a
professional mesmerizer to come and
do it?"
"Tbe only one that I know," said
Pr. Gills, "lives in New Orleans. He
can't be got ia less than four days."
"By tbat time," shrieked Perkins,
"tbe baby '11 be dead and Mrs. Per
kins '11 be insane! What under
Heaven are we going ta do?"
"Well bunt op Brown; maybe be
may know." j
So tbey started after Brown, and
in a little wbile tbey revealed the se
cret and took him to see the baby.
Pr. Brown slapped his hands together
and rubbed its forehead, and all of a
sudden tbe baby sat up and began to
cry.
"What do you think was the mat
ter with him, doctor?" asked Mrs.
Perkins, joyfully.
"Why, your busban I says be mes
merized the -child," said tbe doctor,
thoughtlessly betraying the secret.
Then Mrs. Perkins looked at Per
kius as if sbe wanted to assassinate
him, but she merely ejaculated "Mon
ster!" and flew from the room. She
refused to speak to Perkins for a
week, and he has remarked to bis
friends:

consequences ot tne first duel, ami
"still there were more KieLmonds in

A relative of the first victim, aa ed
itor and successful duelist, give out
a threat that he was coming to town
to avenge the death of his cousin.
His great courage aad desperate
fightiug qualities had been frequently
tried, and were so well known that
something desperate must be done to
meet the riiirreaey, and if possible
to slop any and all future challenges.
Tbe editor arrived in town, and lost
no time lu seuding his message,
which was as promptly responded t'x
Early in the morniugof the same day
all of the arrangements were made
for a meeting at six o'clock the next
morniug.
After making some necessary ar
rangements ij case of death, the
cashier went to bed aud slept until I
a. m., having all this time forgotten
the almost worshipful love aud de
votion of bis wife ami ouly child,
who were in profound ignorance of
bis desperate enterprise. He silently
kissed tbem, and then the husband
aud father stole away t.) attend the
bloody business. Oa arriving at the
appointed rendezvous he found a
trench dug six feet deep, two wide,
and twelve feet hug. Ini,o this dou
ble grave tLe two principals descend
ed, each armed with six shootinsr na
vy revolvers and Laving bowie
knives.with instructions to commence
Griug at the word advance and finish
tbe blood work witb their knives, if
tbeir pistols failed to accomplish it
At the first shot the editor was mor
tally wounded. He drew his knife
and with the ferocity of a tiger
sprung toward his opponent just as
be had fired his second shot He
wardetl off his blow with his pistol,
which had a deep cut in it made by
the heavy knife, showing what a des
perate blow had been aimed at his
adversary who fell dead at bis feet.
Tbe cashier's mind was so much dis
eased that ha could dot attend to bu
siness, aad by theadviecof his phy
sicians took a vacation and change of
scene. He come to this city and
died in a lunatic avliim a month af

About a year ago the ladies of a
certain Port-as Society maJu a larc
quantity of shirts, trousers, and socks,
and boxed them up and sent them to
a missionary station on the Wesi
Coast of Africa. A man named Kid
ley, went out with the boxes, and
staved in Africa several months.
When he returned the Porcas Socie
ty, of course was anxious t hear
bow its donation was received, and
Kidley one evening met the members
and told them about it in a little
speech. He said :
"Well, you know, we got the clothes
out there all right, an.l after a while
we distribited them among sr.me of
the natives in the neighborhood. We
thought may be it would attract
them to tbe mission, but it didn't, and
after some time had elapsed and not
a native came .o church with thoe
clothes on, 1 ent out on an explor
ing expedition to find out about it.
It seems tbat on the first day after
the goods were distributed one of the
Chieis attempted to mount a shirt.
He didn't exactly understand il, and
be pushed bis legs through the arms
and gathered the tail up around bis
waist, lie couldn't make it stay up,
however, and they say he went
around inquiring in his native tongue
what kind of an idiot it was tbat con
structed a garment that wouldn't
hang on, and swearing some of the
most awful heathen oaths. At last
he left it drag, arid that night he got
his legs tangled in it somehow, and
fell ov r a preeipiee and was killed."
'Another Chief who got one on
properly went paddling around in the
dark, and the people imagining that
he was a ghost, sacrificed four babies
to keep off the evil spirit
"And then you know those trous
ers you sent out ! Well, they fkted
one pair on an idol, and then they
stuffed most ot the rest wiiu leaves
and cet them up a- a kind of new
fangled idols, and began to worship
them. They say' that tbe service
were very impressive. Some of the
women split a lew pairs in half, and
after sewing up tbe legs used them to
carry yams in, and I saw one CLief
with a corduroy leg on bis bead as m
kind of helmet
"I think though tbe socks were the
most popular. AH the fightiog men
went for tbem the first thing. They
filled the ii with sand and osed tbem
as war clubs I learned tbat they
were so pleased witb ibe efficiency of
those socks that they made a raid on
a neighboring tribe on purpose to try
them, and they say :bcy knocked
.bout eiehtv women and children on
the head before they fame home.
Tbey ask me if 1 wouldn't speak to
you and get you to send out a ftw bar
rels more, and to make tbem a little
stronger so's they'll last longer, and I
said I would.
"This society's doing a power of
good to those heathen, and I've no
doubt if you keep right along with
the work you will inaugurate a gener
al war all over tbe continent of Afri
ca, an I give every body an idol of hi
own. All ibey want iseooujch soi k.-
and trousers. I'll take them wbun I
go out again."
Then tbe Porcas parsed a rescluilon
declaring that it would, perhaps, be
better to let the heathen go naked
aad give the clothes tft tbe poor at
home. Maybe that is tbe better way.
