HOW A YOUNG ENGLISHMAN WAGER ED AND LOST A BET. Hunklng In with '.h* EmljraiiU—UnlnTlt* ing Surrounding»- Some of the N«d»(*a, Smells an«l Other Discomfort« the Steer age A (lord*. "My doar chap, you'll never do it. I'll wager you a fiver you don't." Buch was the emphatic consolation vouch saved to me by my old college churn when l confided to him my intention of crossing the Atlantic like an ordinary emigrant in the steerage. How vary like a friend! You pride your self on being a stoic. Does be credit me! Not he! With brutal cynicism be laughs your pretty conceit to scorn and denounces you to your face as a rank epicurean. " Well," I cried easily, though not a little mortified, "I'll take you, if only to punish you for your skepticism by collaring your £5." I may here explain that I was crossing from merry England to the Uni*H| States on pleasure bent, and the idea of 'traveling in the steerage pleased my fancy as being a novel oud I flattered myaeif a somewhat plucky experiment. "Nothing like seeing life in all its varied phases," said 1 to myself. A week later saw me at Liverpool. There was hurrying to and fro and trampling of heavy feet. Porters skurried * hither and thither, hearing huge bales aud "all sorts and conditions" of merchandise. Hoarse shouts rent tho air and there was much jostling and more profanity, and little respect was paid unto the corns of man. But as I cast my eyes along the approach whinh led to tho stage they alighted on a procession which flooded my soul with the most dismal fore boding. A nondescript moving mass—which to cali a wagon were to flatter it preposter ously-compared seemingly of a heterogene ous collection of bundles witli Were and tiiore a projection which somewhat resembled a box, was advancing cautiously in our direc tion. By the side of it marched a number of persons who might havo been moving adver tisements for u failed rag shop. They were indeed tho sorriest crew 1 had ever set eyes on. Could this be the company I was to en joy intimacy with for the next ten days! Alas I ray apprehensions were but to well foondnl. For the first time I felt a pang for my £5 note. The city clock» now announced that it was 10:80 and with that all of us were speedily shipped aboard the tender. Wo soon hove alongside that gallant ship, the Crafty, which was to be our home—or our coffin, for aught we knew—on the wide, wide sea. At 3 o'clock tho medical officer came aboard and held a levee, attended by all the crew and all the emigrants. We all filed by him in solemn processiou. Now and then there would come a halt, while a mau or woman, whose apponraueo suggested some iurkisb disease, would lie subjected to rigorous exam ination. By and by tilings began to assume a more settled aspect and to indicate that the hour of our depurture was nigh at hand. Pre* ently the saloon passengers arrived alongside, and with them an army of friends, who ac companied them to their cabins. No sooner had they arrived there, however, than the bell rang and they came forth again like a rushing torrent and streamed into the teudor. A waving of handkerchiefs, a crying of "good-by," the welling of tears to tender eyes, a little liuskinee* of the throat and their adieus were said. The bar was safely passed lato at night, and as we stood away from land we got clear of the fog aud the Crafty was enabled to forge ahead rapidly. On the morrow we glided into Queenstown harbor, which some mariners claim to be the finest natural harbor in the world. Bumboat women here boarded us and until we weighed anchor often became a tiling of misery by reason of their persistent attention. Ouee at sea one's lungs expan*led more freely. It was at this period that I first, l>egan to study my fellow passengers. The respectable folk of the steerage numbered about twenty or thirty, and these were English, American aud Scandinavian. All belonged to the poorer class but were cleanly aud neat iu appearance and of orderly behavior. A marked contrast was afforded by the other emigrants. For the most part their personal uspect suggested the idea that the wells of their country had run dry and that soap was au offeuse to their nostrils. Ani malism was stamped on each man's face, aud there was scare an intelligent creature among them. A certain concession in my favor was made by the steamship company. Instead of l»eing berthed forward with the single men, I was allotted a cabiu aft such as is given to every emigraut married couple. This indeed was a liberal concession, for the single wretches were—well, they were not reveling in luxury. Iu some cases they slept six in a large bunk, with bunks to the right of them, bunks to the left of them, bunks below them, aud bunks above them. The sense of compression was well nigh intoler able. The single women endured a like state of things. The married couples were thus well off in comparison. All went well for a day or two. The meals served were plain, but the food was good, aud there was an abundance of it. But Scripture salth an ending To all goud things must be. And so on the morning of the third day Neptune began to get a trifle uneasy, and as the hours wore on his disquietude increased so alarmingly that the Crafty was unable to maintain her equilibrium and began to stir "with a short, uneasy motion." This set me thinking that it was advisable to prepare for all contingencies, and so I betook rao to my bunk, and there I remained a night and a day. Tlie cabin opposite to mine was occu pied by a patriarch who might have sat for Moses. With him was his family. Nor I doubt not that they were an agreeable fam ily, but they developed a habit of moaning in unison which was not altogether pleasura ble to my unmusical ears. Then my next door neighbors were a family and rejoiced in twins of stentorian lungs. One might have judged that it was the life long object of this pair to sustain a continuous howl. Each seemed to vie with the other us to which could reach the highest note, aud they would sing it out most triumphantly. Doubtless the parents had much reason to lay their hand on their offspring and—bless them, but my own savago breast would not be charmed by their duet. Many other harrowing sounds, too, were borne in on my ears, whiih made me regret my acute hearing and served to undermine my resolution to stick to the steerage. But 1 said iu my strength, "I will remain where 1 am." Vain is the word man! 1 hud hardly made this mental ejaculation ero the last straw was laid on and the camel's back broke. There had already been a curious odor of oil floating about, but now the pitching and tossing of tlie vessel caused a condition of tmugs from which there sprung a most evil effluvia. It was a sort of effluvia that be sieged the nostrils and clung to them eveu when you rushed far from its domain. It was au effluvia that might be felt. Ail too soon I becaiue aw aie of It. it was too much. Moved by a sudden impulse, 1 crept from my bunk. A few bounds took me to the deck and the purser's cabin, and the next minute I was transformed into a saloou W . JB. C. in Kansas City Times. passenger.— granted, Orphan»' Court.

GARRICK AND DIBDIN. nie Fortner Knew the Value of Money ami llld Disagreeable Thing*. In 1768 Dibdin transferrin! his services to Drury 1 Aim, where lie had the usual disa greements with Garrick in regard to money matters. One would hardly be justified in applying the term "unscrupulous" to Gpr riek; but be undoubtedly knew the value of money better than those who served him, and it was not his fault if he got the worst of a bargain. Dibdin signalized himself at Drury Lane by bis writing of the music for "The Paddock," und yet for his share iti the work tie received only £45, while Dickerstaff, tho author of the words, got £1,71)0. As he says himself, however, he was of an ensy and credulous temisn', aud, as we may say for him, lie was also extravagant and Improvident, being indeed a kind of Gold smith of his profession. He parted with most of his early writings without proper agreements, and in consequence got hand somely cheated. His renowned song, "The Waterman," he sold for two guineas ; "Noth ing Like Grog," for half a guinea, end so on. Thus, while lie was always working hard, hit existence for the greater part of bis career little bettor than the hand to mouth one of the third rate professional. Garrick seem* to hnve found him of signal service at the Stratford jubilee, as well as at Drury Lane, yet they do not appear to have at any time pulled well together. The young composer had become indebted to the actor to the extent of £5U, and he tells us that Garrick made him slave at song writing for the .Shakespeare celebration till "he bud lietter gone to a Jew for the money." On one occasion the actor said to him apropos of his debt, "I can take down the pegs I bat make this music;" to which Didbin replied, "Yes, as honest ns you are." At another time Garrick, having previous ly failed to sutisfy Dibilen with some verses for music, produced the words of the ron ileuu lieginuing, "Sisters of the tuneful strain," aud asked Diilhin if I lie piece would do. "Yes," was the reply, "it is tuned so musically that it sets itself. It is certainly the host you have ever written." The ron deau turned out to lie by Jeruingham, mid if Dibdin wits unaware of this fact he, at any rate, got credit for knowing it, for the famous actor never forgave him the honestly expressed opinion. Garrick seems, indeed, to havo boon a tire some taskmaster, and witl^ne rouscionsnoss of superiority in his own line, at least, Dib din must have felt intensely annoyed at the constant mutilations to which his literary and musical work was subjected by the manager. This, however, may have had its good effect, though not exactly in the direc tion intended tty Garrick. Irritated beyond measure by the frequent "improvements" made on his productions, Dibdin resolved to rely on his memory only in composition, and never to put his work on paper until ail altera tions bad been agreed upon. Feeling certain that Garrick "scarcely knew one air from another, and that his criticisms were mere affectation, he was accustomed to pretend to adopt t hem with a good grace. Then, w ait ing till next morning, he would play over the air exactly as it stood before, and receive great praise from Garrick for the docility of his supposed improvements!" Nut a bail plan, say we; there are, we suspect, quite a number of modern Garricks u[>on whom a trick of the kind might well be played, and with )ierhaps good results. — Gentleman's Magazine. Not Dead, but Stranded. "Drummers are capubleof doing .some slick things when they want to." The speaker was nn ex-drummer, aud he was speaking to a Savannah News rejiorter. "I knew a young member of the 'profesh,' " he continued, "who played a good oue on a tobacco house iu Savannah on one occasion. "A severe hurricane passed over the south western portion of Georgia, aud the young drummer huppeued to lie down in that sec tion at the time. The firm here knew that there, and they were alarmed. They wired but were uuuble to get a reply to any ot their dispatches, as the line« in that section wore on the ground. The tracks were washed, end trains did not move for a week. The young drummer, failing to get word from bis house, and, being unable to leave where he was stopping, fell iu with a company of young men, and bad a royal big time. "He had some prize sample cigars, and he opemal box after l>ox, and they were smoked up. lie bud a good ileal of premium chewing tobacco, and the country boys helped him chew it. When the week ended he was with out samples. During the excitement he did not stop to think in what a predicament he would be when be would start out with a »•ore of empty grips.

It (lashed in his mind to put up a pitiful story, and ho sent them this: 'Not dead. Escaped with my life. Samples gono; send more.' It was a grout hit.

They call this sugar "acrose."
