A nous CAPTAIN.
A ,î::ke I'I.iye 1 t pou s; Coiiiiiiaii'.UT.
Ciijit.T- 1 '. ot the sloop of w-.il
Concord in iîio West In.lin squadron,
was a cillions c*o ns pou n«l of Immunity.
Fanatically pious, nervous to a il«*oi«*e
approaching actual hysteria, ho kept
liis officers aial crew half the time in
misery.
Une time his ship was nearing the
port of i'ciuucola, ami just at «law n the
Milite sands ot Sauta i'usi island were
sighted close aboard the windward.
The oilicer of the deck sent a messen
get boy into the cabin to announce the
fact.
A inimité later obi T. tusked out, <>]
the cabin half dressed, g ive on - glance
at the s ii f break.ng eh ircwai d a ii.be
Mvay, and shouted :
"Oh, merciful Lor«]—Jicre it is at
last, a b e shore and no chance to claw
oil 1 Call all hands to prayers,—call all
hands to pi nyei!"'
It took the oilicer of the deck half an
hour to persuade the old gander that
there was no danger, that the wind w as
olf instead ot on slime, and the ship
was heading for the Pensacola Bar in
smooth water.
One day in port a !'• w of the mills
put up a big sell on the old man. A
party of then: got permission to |go to
the big bayou, wh re we generally got
fiesh water lor ships in the squadron,
on a fulling tt ip.
They had been gone but a little
while when one ot the conspirators left
on hoard, purposely, went privately in
to the cabin and told Capt. T. that the
fishing party was only gotten up as a
ruse to conceal the leal object of the
party going ou shore. That was to en
able two of the middies, Brown and
Kyan, to tight a duel, tor it was known
they had been quarreling in the steer
age the night before.
"Man my gig instantly !" cried the
captain in nervous agony. *'I must
stop this wicked thing. Just to think
ot it—officers of mine fighting duels!
Man my gig and putina half dozen mu
fines. I'll arrest them both and put
them in double lions.''
In a few minutes his boat was tow
ing as fast as the crew could pull for
the bayou. Old T. stood up in the
stem sheets, urging the men to heed to
tlie oars-—they were on an errand cl
mercy,—to save human life.
The boat was near the usual landing
when the midshipmen were seen- iu a
gioup, and toe old captain, pale as a
sheet, shouted :
"WVre too late—were too late—
they're at it iuw !"
And even as he spoke two pistol
shots resounded,over the water, aud
he saw two of the officers drop to the
ground.
"Oh, merciful heaven, that I should
live to see this!" he moaned. "Why
was I so late ? Oil. men—meu—pull
—pull-that I may get thereto cousole
them ns tney die !"
The boat touched the shore, he leap
ed out and rushed up into the group,
and kneeling down, while tears stream
ed from his eyes began to pray loud
enough to be heard a mile tor mercy
fur the dead or dying.
While he was thus engaged the two
who had been prostrate rose, and the
whole group of reefers with bared
heads waited reverently foi him to get
done praying,
Wlieu he was pretty well exhausted
he looked up, and there stood Brown,
liyan aud the rest, with no sigu of
wounds or injuries upon them.
"What does this mean, gentlemen 7"
he asked iu wonder. "Have my pray
ers wrought a miracle? Have the
dead come to life Î Thank heaven I
was not too late after all !"
And you might have worked a week
to persuade the old man that the whole
thing was a farce and a sell got up for
his especial benefit.
Ho went back to the ship happy,
lie had saved human life.
Poor old man—lie kept getting worse
and worse until the Commodore found
it necessary to scud him home and put
another officer iu charge of the ship.
He was crazy, especially on religious
points.

A New Telephone Discovery.
The Expense of Telephone service
greatly decreased.—Some Remark
able tests without the use of bat
teries
The U. S. Telephone Co., at Mad
son, Iml. has aevised an improve
ment in tlie contruction of tele
phones which bids fair to révolu
tionize the cost of telephonic ser
vice and at the same time an al
most perfect system. The clear
ness and distinctness that results
in the use of their telephones is won
derful. The telephones were tried
on a line twenty miles long, and
a reporter carried on a conversation
which was tar more distinct than
for a few blocks with the ordinary
telephones. There was none of
the infernal humming that is al
most always heard in other tele
phones. Not a sound marred the
clearness of the conversation. The
telephones are made to work on
ehe club system, with trunk lines
and requires no Exchanges. As
the Company sells tlie telephones
outright, consequently there is no
exorbitant rents to pay.
By seudiug your address and a
postage stamp to the U. S. Tele
phono Co., at Madison, Iml., yon
will receive an illustrated circular,
giving description of telephones
with prices, Sic. The Company
have been in operation for years,
and are composed of reliable busi
ness men.
