Suicide Of Over Two Hundred Coolies.
Correspondence of the N. Y. world.l
HAVANA November / 1

Correspondence of the N. Y. world.l
HAVANA. November IL.
a drama of the sea" that, in scenes
of horror and incidents of death, stands
forth with unfortunate prominence, has
just been brought under public notice
here.
Since Sunday, two vessels carrying
coolies, have arrived-the Salvedorian
ship Macao, with 400 ColOqaoS ASiattcos,
and the French bark Tamaris, with only
sixty-eight. 1t is upon the latter vesssl
that the s'drama" occurred
Having left Macao for Havana on Feb
ruary 6, with three hundred indentured
Chinese, a Chinese doctor. Portuguese
interpreter, a captain and a crew OF
eighteen men, the vessel sailed to with
in 30 miles of Java without anything
notable occurring on board; but, then
and there, the indentured Chinese re-
volted and killed the captain (Rannie)
and the interpreter.
The crew, powerless to resist the in
furiated Celestials, took the boats, which
they launched, and then abandoned the
vessel.
They were fortunate enough to reach
Java in a few days, and reported the af-
fair to the Dutch authorities. A Dutch
war vessel was at once sent in persuit
of the Tamaris, but had to cruise for
thirty days before meeting her. After
a slight resistance, the mutinied Chinese
in possession of her surrendered, and
the Chinese captain and other Chinese
officials installed on board after the
crew abandoned her, as well as the ma
jority of other Chinese on board, were
loaded with chains and kept in the hold.
The Tamaris was then conveyed to
Padang, where new captain (Casolis)
and the old crew of eighteen men were
put on board, and then she started once
more for Havana.
Of the 800 coolies taken on at Macao,
fffty-five persisted in the mutiny and in
resisting the Dutch war vessel, so that
the second start was made with only 245
coolies on board.
When these coolies ascertained that
they were, after all, to be taken to Cuba,
they became desperate, and at every OPP
portunity jumped overheard. Many,
deprived of the opportunity 10 drown
themselves, committed suicide by actual
starvation.
The feEo de SEEING continued nearly
the whole voyage, so that whe the Ia
maris reached Havana she had, as stat
ed, only sixty Eight Chinese OH board
no less than 232 having persisted during
the eventful voyage of nine months du-
ration.
1t is useless to add that the trip has
been losing one to those who charter
ed the vessel and indentured the coolies.

AN INCIDENT OF THE BORDER RUFFIAN
Wharf.-The death of the Hon. Robert j.
Walker recalls an incident of the Bor-
der Ruffian war in Kansas. While
Walker was Governor of that State, he
made tour through its southern coun-
ties, and was not very heartily greeted
by the Free State men. At one of the
towns where he stopped for the night,
the pro-slavery men held q meeting in
his honor, and wound up the meeting
with huge bonfire. While the embers
were yet smoking, party of Free State
men determined upon treatment of a
different sort. Armed with rifles and
reyolvers, they procured stout rope,
and started for the hotel where Governor
Walker was staying, but before they
called him out they concluded to consult
Mr.. Albert ID. Richardson, who was
then the Kansas correspondent of the
Boston Journal, and a prominent advo-
cate of the Free State cause. They show
ed him the rope, and said:
I'VE have made up our minds to hang
him, and let the Administration know
that its Governors are not safe here"
Richardson counselled moderation,
told them they would only make mat
tiers worse by killing Walker, and final
ly persuaded them to give up their in
tentions, and go quietly to their homes.
Gov. Walker left town the next morn
ing, little dreaming how nearly he had
missed being executed.-NeU York San.

A KANSAS ROMANCE.

Twelve years ago at a town in Ohio,
business man, trusting too much to
the honesty of others, met with misfor-
tunes which ruined him financially.
He left Ohio for the Territory of Kan
sas, where he took and improved claim
until falling health compelled him to
give it up. Undismayed by this second
rebuff of fortune, he went to Council
Grove, where he got position as sales
man in one ofthe trading establishments
there. Here, his i'll luck again follow
ing him, his success was not great, and
he made another move, this time to Fort
Lyon, Colorado, where he remained for
a long time, variously employed as clerk,
hotel keeper and speculator. After be-
coming satiated with life at the border
post he returned to Kansas, selecting u
home near Topeka. Here he remained
for years, varying the monotony of prair-
lie life by rambles into the surrounding
unsettled country. In one of these ex-
cursions he discovered what are now the
Carbondale coal mines, but what have
proved as good as gold mine TO him.
He kept his discovery a secret and quiz
city purchased the land. Since that
time by shrewd management he secured
the location of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad through the lands,
and to-day he enjoys an income of ten
thousand dollars year from the lease OF
the coal lands which he bought few
years ago at Government price. This is
a brief statement of the history of a
we'll known Kansan, who for ten years
seemed persued by the demon misfor-
tune, but who at last triumphed by that
untiring determination which is a part
of American character. He deserves
his success, and it is the earnest prayer
of his friends that the evening of his
days may be passed in quiet, as par
tial recompense for the storms to which
he has been exposed.-LeaUen1cor

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF EGGs.-The
white of an egg has proved of late the
most efficacious remedy for burns. Sew
en- or eight successful applications offhis
substance soothes pain and effectually
excludes the burned parts from the air.
This simple remedy seems preferable to
collodion or even cotton. Extraordina-
ry stories are told of the healing prop

are first boiled hard, and the yoIks are
then removed, crushed and placed over
a fire, where they are carefully stirred
until the whole substance is just on the
point of catching fire, when the oil sep
arates and may be poured of. One yolk
will yield nearly two teaspoonfnls of
oil. 1t is in general use among the col
onists of South Russia as means of
curing cuts, bruises and scratches.

THE PROBLEM OF SPECIE PAYMENT.

1t seems to be agreed on all hands
that the country must at least return to
specie payment. Granting the PROPOSE
ton, we ask the question: What does 1T
mean? 1t means the payment, on de-
mand, by the Government, of all its ma
tured obligations in coin; the redemp-
ton of the national bank notes at the
option of the holder, in the same way ;
the liquidation of private debts on the
coin basis and the demonstration and
seduction of the outstanding green
backs, either the whole or part of them,
to the condition of more debts. The
bare statement of the problem is suffi-
cient TO show the greatness fthe change,
as well as its intimate relations to indus
trial and commercial pursuits.
The conditions requisite to this change
some of them absolutely indispensa-
Bile, and others highly lmportant-seem
to us to be the following:
!. The Government and the national
banks must have a sufficient supply of
coin, either on hand or easy of access. to
constitute reasonable certainty that the
effort at resumption will be a success
and not failure.
2. The premium on gold coin must be
so far reduced that greenbacks and coin
are very nearly par with each other, so
as greatly to lessen the speculative mo-
tive for rapid and large presentation
of the former for payment.
3. There must be gradual reduction
of private obligations contracted on the
currency basis, so as not to produce a
sudden revulsion in mercantile interests,
or unduly embarrass the debtor class.
4. The greenbacks should not be fund
ed into an interest bearing debt; but
gradually paid in instalments, at a GER
tain rate of rapidity, beginning with the
smaller denomination, and ascending by
fixed and progressive scale to the
larger ones, till all are paid. This dis
elimination is necessary to provide
against the liability of rush npon the
Treasury.
5. AS the greenbacks are paid, they
should always be cancelled, and never
re-issued in the same form or any other
form of Indebtedness.
6. To guard against any undue reduc-
ton in the volume of the currency as
the greenbacks are retired. provisions
should be made for a sufficient eXpan-
sion of the national bank system to sup
ply the people with all the paper circu-
lation they need.
The productions of the country
must be so far increased as to make its
exports at least equal to its imports.
This state of things would show a pro-
ductive and commercial vigOr in The
body polite sufficient to carry the peo-
pie through the crisis without serious
arrangement or harm.
It is manifested at glance that these
conditions of specie payment are not
now present, and they cannot be made
SO by any device of legislation. They
can only come gradually; and then some
of them must do their work gradually.
The per SdltatDe theory is out of the ques-
ton. The prosperity and trade of the
country are so intimately interviewer
with financial movement that there is no
other way but to make haste slowly.
To derange the currency of the country,
and PROSTATE its trade, for the sake of
getting to specie payment, would be like
killing patient in the effort to cure

The VALUE OF LITTLE THINGs.-From
time immemorial, the British govern
ment have always caused red worsted
thread to be woven into the cordage
manufactured at their roperies. The OBJ
ject of this thread is to prevent piifer-
ing, and to facilitate the recovery of
stolen property. One fine morning il
struck poor man in Chatham dockyard
that iute thread would do as well as
one of wOrsted. The experiment was
tried. The rope with the jute thread in
it was tested in a variety of ways, by
being exposed TO salt water and the
weather for sufficiently long period,
and the result was that worsted was
abandoned. Such is the magnitude of
government transactions that by simply
substituting that thread of jnte for one

TIE GOLDFISH.

The Goldfish is the child ov the oshen.
This ackounts for their being so salt.
They are caught with hook and line,
and bite like steel trap, and hang on
like poor relation.
They are good eating for a wet day;
they are better than an umbrelly to keep
a man dry.
Dried goldfish IL one ov the luxuries ov
life; but Goldfish three times a day wood
weaken my confidence in them.
Goldfish never venture into fresh wa
ter; they would Spite if they did.
l have never been codfishing myself.
but think should like it better than
fishing for frogs.
l think l should ketch frogs well
enough, but should insist on their tax
ing themselves off the hook.
/ had rather take boss humble bee in
hand than live frog. not because am
afraid the frog would bite, but Tam
afraid of their kicking.
Sum people amt afraid to take any
thing with their hands that they can
reach, not even an eel, but if should
get caught by an eel, If couldn't settle
with him right off by giving him the
hook and line, would throw the pole
into the bargain and put for home.
The Goldfish IL said to be an aristokrat,
and to keep aloof from other fish of his
size in the sea, and claims to be rela-
ton of the whales; but this looks to be
rather 1shy.
have noticed that the Goldfish always
has stiff upper lip; but think this is
more owing TO the bone that is in him
than it is to his blood.

The maekrel IL q game fish. They
ought to be well edukated, for they are

They are very easy to bite, and are
