a Silent MAN.

Capt. Stone, Of the steamer Canada,
now in this port, is probably the most
silent man afluat. Sailors who have
been with him many months say they
never heard him speak. Hc writes
his orders to his officers, and if they
fail in carrying them out, he rcpri
mands them in writing. Yet he has
the reputation of being orc of the
most skillful and prudent captains of
the Cunard line, and remarkable for
his powers OF personal endurance
When ut sea he rarely leaves the
deck, night or day, more than an hour
at time, and nothing appears to
escape his notice. Still he docs not
speak, either to his officers or passcn-
gers. Ona recent passage two wag<,
who were passengers in his ship, no.

that he deliberately took an onion

Stone with the left.

US the tears followed the onion, |

This was too much for the passen-
