DESCRIPTION OF THE STORM
By Our Birmingham Boy Who Got Dreadfully
Seasick and Wished He Had Never
Left Home.
Basse Terre, St. Christopher, Sept. 29.—
To make a long story short, the wind
freshened, the sky became overcast
with dark, sullen clouds and the sea be
gan to foam and look angry. The spanker
tias taken in, for it was now evident that
trouble was brewing. By nightfall the
wind was blowing a gale. The last
stitch of canvass had been taken in,
and we were running under bare poles.
It was dark and gloomy outside, so 1
kept close In the cabin. Such a thing as
Sleep was out of the question. The little
beat, she is only 140 feet long, was danc
ing a jig; the chairs were rolling about,
the wind howled and water roared, and
as I sat, or, rather,»lay there all alone,
thinking that only one layer of plank
was between me and the great hereafter,
I certainly wished 1 had never left home.
About midnight the captain gave the or
der to ‘lay to.” I crawled on deck to
see what was going to happen. He set
a trisall in the mizzen rigging and turned
her end for end, letting the bow point to
the waves. That was done to keep her
from being “pooped” and make her lay
easier.
I haven’t the power to describe that
storm. If you can imagine in the howling
wind a continuous roar, such as one hears
in the boiler room of an Iron furnace or
the roar of Niagara falls, with a beating
on the masts and rigging sounding like
a train of cars, with the wind screeching
through the rigging and an occasional
boom like the sound of a cannon, when
an Immense wave would strike the bow
of the schooner and rush in a tumultous,
seething torrant along the bulwarks,
breaking over the to'gallant forecas’l and
sending the spray to the mizzen mast
head. She is a staunch schooner, but
she was trembling and groaning in every.
Joint. While I lay in my bunk, being
tossed by the angry sea, strange fancies
came to me.
I thought nr the olu darlty who was
asked whether he would rather be wreck
ed at sea or on a railroad. I couldn't re
press a smile as I thought of his answer,
"If you aro wrecked at sea, whar Is you?
But If you are wrecked on land dar you
Is.” I thought of the fearful tales of
shipwreck that I had read of, but the
horror of which I never realized. I could
hear the pumps working, which added to
my fright, not knowing that It Is a cus
tom to test them at every watch, whether
the vessel Is leaking or not. But with
all of Its hideousness there was some
thing sublimely grand about this storm.
The water was phosphorescent and be
lt 7 lashed Into fury it looked like a sea
of fire.
I dreaded lest a man should be washed
overboard, but nothing happened to any
of them, except the cook, who was taken
seasick. So was I.
It Is difficult to explain the sensations
of that distressing ailment, but now that
It Is over with I am going to tell you
something about it.
As long as the schooner was running
with the sea I was not much affected,
though I must admit that my stomach
felt like the preliminary organization of
the next state convention was taking
place in It; but when we "hove to” the
vessel began to plunge and dance about
like a skiff. She would go down, down,
so swiftly that it. seemed impossible ever
again to lift herself, but as she would
reach the depth, quivering from stem to
stern, a deluge would break upon her,
and, like a thing of life, she would lift
her head and come up to another crest.
My stomach passed swiftly from the pre
liminary stage and felt more like a reg
ular convention, with a contest over_del
egates. The chairman began to rap for
order and the greatest uproar prevailed
among the delegates. I began to feel
worse. The convention within was rag
ing, evidently having seated the wrong
delegation. I appealed to the chair for
order, but wasn’t recognized. At this
point a fight took place over the appoint
ment of a committee on resolutions. A
division was called for and while it was
going on I decided to go below, the last
place In the world for a person to go
when seasick.
I was anxious for my stomach to settle
down to business and adopt some kind
of platform that the gold bugs and sil
ver! tes could stand on. As it was, many
of the delegates were insisting on going
before the people Just as they were, while
my stomach was rapping for order, r
could stay on deck no longer. I wanted
to lie down. As I started below the con
vention got beyond the control of the
chair and the resultant confusion was
terrible. The cabin boy attempted to
come up just ns I started to go down.
The boy was unfortunate in choosing n1s
time. He should have come up sooner
or delayed his coming. He stepped po
litely back to let me pass, which was an
other error. He should have beat a hasty
retreat. The convention unfortunately
adjourned Just at that moment and the
cabin boy met the delegates on the stair
way. Poor boy! He beat a hasty re
treat and I rolled Into my bunk.
I sank Into a helpless state of Inertness,
and became perfeotly Indifferent as to
what might happen. I had no appetite
frior any place to put It. I felt as If I was
plunged Into the crater of a volcano—
submerged beneath an iceberg—and had
all the Ills to tfhieh flesh Is heir. I had
a thousand things on my mind, but noth
ing on my stomach. It was an aching
void, which made me feel as If I had
swallowed the Mammoth Cave and was
trying to throw that up. When I
reached that stage I felt a puckering in
my throat, but the captain told me I
would die If I threw that up. I was afraid
at first that I would die, and then I was
afraid that I wouldn't. I wanted to die,
but couldn't. Relief soon came, howev
er, In the form of sleep.
About noon next day I crawled out of
my bunk and went on deck for a breath
of fresh air The deck was so slippery
that I had to hold on like grim death.
It was impossible to dodge the showers
of spray which whirled over the deck, so
1 jiut on my sou'wester. There is a vast
deal of difference between a sou’wester
and a nor'wester. A nor’westcr Is a gale
of wind, but a sou'wester is an oilcloth
coat that sailors wear. The wind had
lull<*l a little, so the captain decided to
run under hare poles. As I was still
feeling weak and faint, I didn’t care
much what he did with his ship.
He set a reefed fore-staysail, her bow
swung around, and off she started before
the wind, occasionally driving her bow
sprit into the udvaneing waves, then ris
ing again like a duck. The huge waves
lowered far above the schooner, ns If
they would overwhelm her, but just as
she was about to be engulfed she would
lift herself gracefully, and the threaten
ing waves would glide harmle*ily under
the keel.
By nightfall the wind had freshened
again, and so had I. In vfact, I was a
regular old sea dog. The captain deter
mined to run her all night, and not "lay
to" again.
I"or forty hours this gallant tar had not
closed his eyes, and during most of that
time both the starboard and port watches
had been on deck.
You see a sailor’s life isn’t such a pleas
ant one, but still there seems to be a cer
tain fascination about it, for a sailor rare
ly ever leaves the sea for. a job on shore.
The norther blew Itself out during the
night, but there tvas still wind enough
for me and an ugly^ea was still rolling
end continued to roll until we struck the
Florida strait and passed in the lee of
the Florida keys, a group of low coral isl
ands, on the largest of which Is situated
Key West.
After It was all over with It was pleas
ant enough to think of that storm In all
of Its awful grandeur; but take my ad
vice, don’t ever wish to see a storm at sea,
unless you have a good boat under you
and a cast-iron stomach. When the cap
tain told me that a storm was coming I
was seceretly glad of It. I had always
wanted to go to sea and witness a first
class storm. Well, I have come, have
seen and was conquered.
ON FOREIGN HUSBANDS.
Views Which Ought to Be Eminently Grat
ifying to Every One.
uTie engagement of Miss Vanderbilt
and the Duke of Marlborough has been
taken by the London Spectator as a text
for quite a lengthy sermon on interna
tional marriages. It Is quite a temperate
discourse, and even quite flattering to
both the men and women of America.
"There is," says the Spectator, In
speaking of the usual English suitor for
American girls, "no reason why, though
he negilds his coronet, he should not be
heartily in love. The American girl is
not a foreigner; she Is ukually beautiful,
with a beauty that all men recognize;
she is as straight tn conduct as any Pu
ritan; she Is. while young, as entertain
ing us any girl In the world,, and her
usual foibles—the first eft which are a
certain superficiality and self-will—are
precisely the foibles which belong to the
aristocratic training. She has no rela
tives who are troublesome, for the Atlan
tic rolls between her and them; she Is
never despised In the circle which re
ceives her; and opinion, which weighs
heavily with both sexes In their mar
riages, hails the bridegroom as having
made a notable and worthy conquest.
So far from wondering at the English no
ble or statesman who marries in America,
we wonder that he marrlps anywhere
else; he gains so very much, and there
are so few drawbacks to his choice."
To decide why the American girl should
choose a foreign suitor,however,Is a more
difficult task for the Spectator. It says;
“The American suitor Is often as pol
ished as the European; he Is usually
much better cultivated—cultivation not
being by any means the strong point of
the European aristocrat; he is richer
rather than poorer, and while he Is at
least as eager a lover, he Is, by the con
sent of two continents, a rather more
devoted husband. Why. then, Is he
passed over for one who comes from
the outside? We fancy the tradition and
literature and the unaccustomedness
have something to do with it, and that
the higher society of Europe has. for
the American girl, something of the
charm ofVomance, as of an undiscovered
and better country in which it will be
pleasant to undertake an adventure. The
thirst to try the »xnerlment is a natural
emotion with something of poetry in It,
as well as love of adventure, and we
hardly see why the American girl who
elects new, and as she thinks, so brlgfit
a life, should be accused either of snob
bishness or of overvaulting ambition.”
What could be more satisfactory than
this? American girlB are charming—irre
sistible; American men fine, and Ameri
can title-hunters only fired by venture
some, poetic romanticism.
DR. HARTMAN SAYS
Catarrh Causes More Sickness and Deaths
Than Any Other Disease.
If a person has catarrh there Is no
knowing what may happen to him. The
catarrh may go to the lungs, stomach,
liver, kidneys or urinary organs. There
is very few diseases but what catarrh
may cause. Not only does It cause deaf
ness, blindness, sore throat, dyspepsia
and kidney diseases, but the worst forms
of female and urinary diseases. Every
body is liable to it and nearly every
third person has it already. Catarrh,
catarrh, catarrh everywhere. An ordi
nary cold is the first stage of catarrh.
A cough is catarrh of the bronchial tubes.
It is conceded that Dr. Hartman has
treated more eases of catarrh than any
man on earth. He has thousands of
patients under his. treatment all the
time. Most of these patients are treated
by correspondence. A vast multitude are
cured every year. The doctor's principal
remedy Is Pe-ru-na. This remedy strikes
at the root of the disease. Pe-ru-na Is an
internal remedy and cures catarrh wher
ever located. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh
permanently, and prevents catarrh by
curing all cases of colds, coughs, sore
throat, la grippe, Influenza and other
acute catarrh affections.

SHEBMAN’S BECOBD.
His Various Double-Dealings With the Fi
nancial Question.
New York Evening Post.
Senator Sherman's latest deliverance
on the subject of the national finances
ought not to be taken too seriously. It
Is impossible to know, at any particular
time, whether his utterances on the
stump represent his real views or not.
Thus, in 1868, he joined hands with Ben
Butler and George Pendleton in declar
ing that the government bonds were pay
able in greenbacks, and he said that the
bondholders were censurable for demand
ing payment in gold. He was the author
of the inflation bill of 1874 that was ve
toed by President Grant, with the slight
difference that he wanted the greenback
limit put at $382,000,000, while the bill as
passed fixed it at $400,000,000. The vol
ume of greenbacks had been reduced to
$356,000,000 by law prior to 1873. During
the panic of the latter year Secretary
Richardson had reissued $26,000,000 of the
redeemed notes on his own responsibility,
without authority of law. Senator Sher
man proposed to sanction this act of
inflation and violation of law, and report
ed the bill for that purpose. Senator
Schurz moved to put the limit at $356,
000,000, where It was before Blchardson
raised it. Mr. Sherman voted against
the Schurz amendment. He also voted
against the amendment to raise the
amount to $400,000,000, but this was in
serted In the bill, which passed both
houses and was vetoed by the president.
It Is true that Mr. Sherman voted against
the bill, as amended, and he also voted
to sustain the veto, but it was a differ
ence of only $12,000,000. The terms of the
veto message were directed against the
bill as well as the one which actually
passed.
It would probably be safe to say that
Mr. Sherman has been, one time or an
other, on both sides of every important
question of finance that has been before
the country In the past thirty or forty
years. He was secretary of the treasury
when the silver remonetlzaton bill was
before congress, in 1878, and he gave his
Influence in favor of that measure by
testifying before the finance Committee
that its passage would be an aid to specie
resumption. We do not overlook the ser
vices he has rendered to the country In
the course of this checkered career. As
senator and as secretary he was largely
instrumental in the resumption of specie
payments, perhaps more so than any
body else, and for this he will always
have due sredlt. The criticism that will
be veiled upon him is that he habitually
misleads people who are less well in
formed than himself when he sees, or
thinks that he sees, a political advan
tage in doing so. The result is generally
more damaging to himself than to any
body else, because In every case he loses
some part of the confidence of the culti
vated and capitalist classes with whom
his pohtical Btrength chiefly rests. In
his recent speech at Manslllon he main
tains that the greenbacks are the "best
form of paper money ever devised." and
he censures President Cleveland and Sec
retary Carlisle for using the gold "spe
ctfltcaUy pledged for the redemption of
United States notes to make good the
deficiency of revenue caused by the Wll
son-Qorman-Brlce tariff law.” This is
simply ludicrous. Mr. Sherman cannot
point to a dollar of gold that has been
paid out for other purposes than the re
demption of legal tender notes; and as
for the Wllson-Gorman-Brlce tariff bill,
that was not passed until August, ISiH,
whereas the sale of bonds to replenish
the gold reserve began lp February of
that year, and could not lfave been avoid
ed without causing national bankruptcy.
President Cleveland, without much pre
vious training In financial matters, pos
sesses the confidence of financiers in a
far greater degree than Mr. Sherman
does now, or- ever did In his palmiest
days. He has achieved this pre-eminence
by telling the truth at all times, and act
ing upon it at all times.

ELECTRIC ROADS.
Effect of Their Increase Upon Distribution
of Population of Cities.
Although the fact of the rapid exten
sion of electric railways to connect neigh
boring towns and cities is generally
known, the actual extent of the move
ment Is not yet realized outside of engi
neering circles. A street railway journal
states that within a year 190 companies
have been formed with the intention of
building an aggregate of 3457 miles of
road, and in some of these enterprises
the construction is already far advanced.
The shortest of these interurban lines is
two miles and the longest between Belle
fontaind and Lima, O., 100 miles. Two of
eigthty and two of seventy-five miles are
among the long distance lines planned.
Among the numerous other effects of this
widespread development, Its Influence
on city rentals is already most signifi
cant. When the electric road came on
the scene the suburban owners were de
lighted. They predicted that the clean,
quick mode of transit would bring up the
price of lots in the small towns near the
cities, and hitherto inaccessible proper
ties, with plenty of trees and grass, and
pure air and sunlight around them, would
bo brought within the reach of the dwell
ers in crowded cities. In this respect the
electric railway has more than fulfilled
its promise. The benefits it has conferred
on poor people and those of moderate
means are Incomputable. Twice as many
of these can now have homes of their
own as formerly. But the advent of the
trolley has had one result that nobody
thought of. It is bringing down the price
of rentals of city property. The country
is growing at the expense of the city.
Few men will live in close, cramped quar
ters when for the same money they can
rent or own a whole house and reach
their city employment in good time. And
so it comes about that the hygienic thin
ing out of city populations, which health
statistics and philanthropy have never
been able to accomplish, is being achieved
silently and effectually by modern me
chanical science.—New York Times.

There is a good deal of truth in Goethe's
couplet:
“Who the poet will understand
Must wander thro’ the poet’s land.’’
Much can be made clear in an author’s
work by a knowledge of where he or she
lives, for ideas are necessarily largely
drawn from environment. Mr. Thomas
Hardy lives in the heart of his beloved
Wessex,at the quaint town of Dorchester
Mr. George Meredith has a charming
chalet on Box Hill, near Dorking. Mr.
Walter Besant has built himself a
commodious house in Frognal Gar
dens, Hampstead, and in his neigh
borhood are Dr. Parkbr and many
other thinkers and writers. Mrs.
W. K. Clifford, author of, “Aunt
Anne" and other well-known stories,
mostly spends her days in Kensington,
occasionally visiting Haslemere, which
district figures more than once in her
tales. Mr. W. E. Norris lives at Torquay,
a town which is credited with having the
wealthiest inhabitants of any place of it3
size in England. Mrs. ODphant used to
be found at Windsor, where she was
more than once visited by the queen, but
now lately she has been writing in the
south of France. Dr. George Macdonald
rdhides at his beloved Bordighera, where
the inhabitants greatly esteem him as a
distinguished ornament to their society.
Mr. Rudyard Kippling has his home at
Brattleboro, in the United States. Mr.
George Kissing is one of the many brain

EX-TREASURER VINCENT.
He Is Now at Hazlehurst, Miss.. Working as a
Boss Painter.
Hazlehurst (Miss.) Courier.
There are few persons who will not re
call the great sensation produced about
ten years ago when It became known
that Hon. Ike Vincent, treasurer of Ala
bama, and leader not only afnong politi
cians in tha* state, but in the social
realm of gay Montgomery, the capital
city, was a defaulter In the sum of many
thousands of dollars and had fled the
country. It will also be recalled that
after a number of years of fruitless
search he at last returned to the scene
of his former triumph, not to say glory.
Was tried, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of years, being
Anally pardpned by the governor be
cause of 111 health caused by confine
ment.
As the writer remembers from reading
newspaper accounts of the affair, these
lines give an outline of the transaction
that at one time was the talk of the
country, from the lakes to the gulf, and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They
are recalled by the fact that Ex-Treasu
rer Vincent is now and has been for
two weeks past in Hazlehurst, having
taken the contract of painting the Rob
ertson hotel, which Is being done by
workmen under him.
Coming here In this humble though
honest capacity, he might have kept his
identity concealed for an indefinite pe
riod. But it is presumed he did not care
to do so, preferring to reveal his Individ
uality to those with whom he must have
business dealings, and trust to their gen
erosity and charitableness la dealing
with one who had drained the cup of
bitterness to the very dregs, and was
trying In an honest way to recover his
former station among men, or at least
make a new name and character for him
self among strangers In a strange com
munity.
Mr. Vincent is apparently about 50
years old. His whiskers are beginning to
turn white snd on his face and about the
lips are evident lines of care and sorrow.
In conversation lie is most entertaining,
his voice being soft and low and his
words well chosen.
Among other things he spoke of the
transaction that caused his downfall;
how a trusted friend—a banker named
Wolfe—had influenced him to allow the
use of state funds for speculative pur
poses, ostensibly for a few days, and how
the money was lost and ills honor for
feited as the stake. Realizing how mat
ters stood, he left home just before the
meeting of the legislature for New York,
to see Wolfe and to try and get money
to replace that which was lost. Before
going he sent his confidential clerk a
note apprising him of the condition of
things, expecting that the contents would
be kept a secret. Hut the information
was made public, and on reaching Cin
cinnati Vincent picked up a paper, only
to discover that in it he was branded as
an embezzler and absconder, with a re
ward of $5000 offered for his apprehen
sion. Abandoning h£s proposed trip to
New York he went to St. Louis and came
down the river, finally going to the Inte
rior of Louisiana and locating near Mon
roe, where he farmed two years. He
then went with his wife, who had Joined
him. to the Island of Jamaica. Here he
lived until conscience prompted that It
was best to return to Alabama, give him
self up and stand the consequences,
which he did with the result as stated.
