A prottr Tough story.
George Kendall, Of the New UrIsan

George hendall, OF tne NJ" Ni'e""s
Picayune, tells the following story
While talking with Captain Wilson,
who is an old salt and good one, l tnd,
on comparing notes, that / sailed or
steamed with him some, sixteen or eigh,,
teen years ago, between Charleston aud
Philadelphia, on the Osprey, then run
ming regularly in that trade. She was q
slow steamer, but staunch one; we had
a species of adventure on board which 1
shall not soon forget. The first morn
ing after crossing Charleston bar, some
where off Georgetown, IL my memory
serves me, we were all, good number
of passengers, quietly enjoying ourselves
under the awnings, the weather delight
full and the sea smooth, when suddenly
the bow Of the steamer struck some hard
substance kchug, checking her up sud
denly, and causing her to quiver rom
stem to stern. All rushed to the sides,
both larboard and starboard, expecting
10 see a huge log or piece OF wreck
pass by; but nothing could be diseov-
ered-not even limb or piece OF plank
There was excitement and wonder on
board, and, as the steamer passed on,
many eyes were cast astern expecting TO
see some kind of drift turn up; but all
was smooth-not speck came to the
surface-the passengers soon returned
TO their books or cigars, and in hall an
hour all was forgotten.
This was about 10 o'clock in the
morning After dinner, while was
talking with the captain, tho engineer
came up and quietly said that something
was wrong. He had on his usual head
of steam; but the Osprey was running a
knot or a knet and half slower than
usual. He had examined every part Of
the machinery, had found all right and
could not account for the falling of.
The mate was called, and he, too, was at
a loss; had noticed that the vessel was
not up to her usual speed, yet could not
account for it. But in looking well over
the bow. the whole thing was explained:
the cut.water of the Osprey, rank and
deep. had struck an enormous trunk
turtle directly in the side, had gone
about half way through the monster, had
fastened to him, and was pushing him
through the water ahead, to the great
detriment of her speed A church door,
showed sideways, could not have impeded
the steamers progress much more than
did this huge turtle, who was, Of course,
lying fast asleep on the surface when
struck. Nor was it an easy matter TO
disengage him. A number of men, with
hatchets and axes, were sent down, and
first cut of the turtles head, which, as
large as a bucket, was drawn on deck,
and taken on to Philadelphia as tro'
phy. The carcass. which was thought to
weigh some eleven or twelve hundred
pounds, was next cut away, and when
once loose from her strange companion,
the Osprey sped on at her usual rate.
In all my nautical "reminiscences, l do
not recollect having read of a similar

CAUDLE CURTAIN LECTURES

We quote the following from poor
Candles eighteenth lecture" in which
he is berated for bowing to q pretty
woman:
"If I'm not to leave the house without
beingsinsulted Mr.. Caudle, l had better
stay in the house all my life.
"Whatl Don't tell me to let you have
one nights rest? / wonder at your inn
pudence It's mighty fine. never can
go out with you, and-goodness knows
it's seldom enough without having my
feelings torn to pieces by people of all
sorts. A set of bold minxes What am
raving about2 Oh, you know very
well--very well, indeed, Mr.. Caudle. A
pretty person she must be to nod to q
man walking with his own wife Don't
tell me that it's Miss Prettyman-whats
Miss Prettyman to me2 Oh you've
met her once or twice at her brothers
house? Yes. l dare say you have-no
doubt of it. | always thought there was
som ething very tempting about that
house-and now / know it all. Now, it's
no use, Mr.. Caudle, your beginning to
talk abound, and twist and toss your
arms about as if you were as innocent as
new born babe-Pm not to be deceived
by such tricks now. No; there was
time when / was a fool and believed
anything; but thank my stars I've
got over that
"a bold mink You suppose ! didn't
see her laugh, too, when she nodded to
you Oh, yes. | know what she thought
me; a poor, miserable creature, of
course. / could see that. No-don't
say that, Caudle. | don't always see
more than anybody else-but can't and
won't be blind, however agreeable it
might be to you; | must have the use of
nay senses. I'm sure if woman wants
attention and respect from man, she'd
better be anything but his wife. I've
always thought so, and to-day decided it.
mo; I'm not ashamed to talk So
certainly not. A good, amiable young
creature, indeed Yes, / dare say, very
amiable, no doubt. Of course, you think
her so. You suppose / didn't see what
sort of bonnet she had on2 Oh a very
good creaturel And you think didn't
see the smudgeS of court plaster about
her faceP You didn't see EN- Very
amiable, to be sure What do you say =
| made her blush at my ill.mannersl l
should like to have seen her blush
'Twould have been rather difficult, Mr..
Caudle, for blush to come through all
that paint No-Tm not a censorious
woman, Mr.. Caudle; quite the reverse.
No; and you may threaten to get up, If
you like-I will speak. | know what
color is, and / say it was paint What do
