As we were returning to the brig, ,
which had now been warped alongside
the mole, when passing through the
street which contains the great hospl
tal, we heard the sound of trumpets,
and saw the glittering of lances with
long streamers above the heads of a
dense crowd of people of all shades of
color—black, yellow and brown—and
we had to doff our hats with due re
»pect as they passed, for In the midst,
surrounded by a staff of officers, epau
letted and aiguletted, their breasts ,
sparkling with medals and crosses, and |
each of them riding with a cocked hut ;
under his left arm, came the present
Captain General of Cuba a marshal of !
the Spanish army, Don Francisco Bar- i
rano de Dominguez, attended by an
escort of mulatto lancers, all mounted
on Spanish horses >
He was a fine-looking man, and al
though aged, had all the bearing of
what he was. or, I should say, Is—
a grandee of old Castile.
On returning to the Eugenie we „
found Antonio the Cuban working
among the crew as lustily and as a •
tlvely es any man on board. Weston
now offered him remuneration for the
time that he had been with us, with s
a hint that he might find a berth else
where; but our castaway evinced the
greatest reluctance to leave tho brig
and begged that he might be permit
ted to remain oil board, as three of !
our best hands had been sent ashore,

Bo short-Blghted Is man that Cap
tain Weston, despite the dislike of the ! }'
of
crew and the advice of Marc HMlop,
ardered that the name of Antonio be
entered on the ship's books as fore
mast man.
Three weeks after our arrival the
brig was careened to starboard, when
clear of all the cargo, and had her
copper scraped and cleaned,
eratlon which the constant rains of the
season greatly retarded.
There was much in Cuba to feed
an Imaginative mind, and mine was

seemed as If there was an evil spirit

went right within or about her.
The crew sulked and quarreled

something unfortunate occurred. Hal

yards were thrown aback;and In one
tagt- lnKtance the briK nearly lost her main

"You seem to dream a great deal, •
Antonio," said Weston, with a keen
glance, beneath which the Spaniard i
quailed.
''SI, Senor Capitano," he stammered.
"How Is this?"
"I am very fond of dreams," he re
plied, with a bitter smile on big lip
and a scowl In his dark eye.
"Have you pleasant ones?"
''I cannot say that they are always
so, but I should like to procure them." j

"And what is It you mean, mlo cap

"A good conscience," replied Weston,
with a peculiar emphasis.
A black scowl came over the Span

the rim of his hat, darted a furious
glance at his chief accuser, the white
haired eeaman Roberts, and to end
the examination walked forward.

In the Wide World Magazine, Rich
ard Hicks, an old-time actor, tells of
his natrow escape from being hanged
on the stage of the Queen's Theater,
Dublin. He was playing the part of
Achmet, a particularly villainous
character, who, after a long career of
crime, Is, to the general satisfaction of
the audience, captured by two British
soldiers and promptly hanged. "One
night, while struggling with my cap
tors, tbe rope slipped from my shoul
ders and knotted Itself round my neck,
Just as I was being hauled up," says
Mr. Hicks. "Never ehall I forget that
awful moment. Directly I felt the tug

word could not escape from my twitch

noise. Frantically I kicked and strug

enough, beyond a choking, suffocating
sensation, and I could hear the tu
multuous applause of the audience,who
were hugely entertained with what
the

Then a terrible sensation, like molten
lead rushing down my spine,
vaded my body, and I thought my legs
were bursting. I gave another mighty
struggle and strove—ah! how I strove
—to scream. I seemed to behold a
mighty rush of green water, and my
ears were filled with the roar of a
cataract. I have a dim recollection of
seeing a great crimson gun shining
dimly from behind the waterfall, and
I can remember falling Indefinitely
through space. Two days afterward I
recovered consciousness, and then I
suffered Indescribable agony. The suf

It was accompanied by an unquencha

In my body and limbs."
