One evening party of old ship
masters met at a social supper. Af.
ter the cloth was removed, and the
wine began to circulate freely, some
Of the older captains com enced
spinning yarns about their own ad.
ventures at sea. Among the number
was Captain Sutter, as line a man and
good sailor as ever trod deok. It
was observed that he drank nothing
but water; and when it became his
turn to entertain the company with a
story, he began as follows:
Well, shipmates, to show you why
don't and can't drink with you, so
that you won't take my refusal as a
mark of GOODNESS or disrespect, will
give you a chapter from the story of
oarly sailor life. 1t is very impor.
tant chapter, too; for on the incident
I am about to relate the whole of my
subsequent manhood was built.
l was very young when l went to
sea, and at the age Of fourteen con
sidered myself quite sailor. When
/ was eighteen I was shipped on
board an East Indiaman for long
voyage. There wore six of us on
board Of about the same age, and we
had about the Same duties to perform.
The ship-the old Lady Dunlop was
. large one, and our crew was large in
proportion, there being Gfty.two, all
told. We f'boys," as we were called
messed together, and In all other re.
spects were separate from tho rest OF
the Grew, just as MUCH as the officer:
were. Our captain was noble.
hearted, honorable man, kind and
geneous, but yet very strict.
Now we hoys had learned, in the
course of our travels, to drink ou,
grog as well as any sailors. When
We gould get on shore we would inva
riably indulge in our cups, and not
unfreqpently would we como of in 9

entirely from drinking himself, bu

Where Nancy oft corrted.

How TRUE.-Don Piatt writes to
the Cincinnati Commercial:
"The wonderful energy exhibited
by the southern people in struggling
up from the utter ruin that followed
the late civil war is one of the mar
wells of the day. While contending
against the laundering, unjust acts Of
reconstruction, originating in hate
and continued through greed, that
deprived them Of voice and vote in
laws now involving the business ino
terests of the entire country, the peo-
pie have struggled manfully and with
success to certain extent to restore
the national prosperity Of their re-
gion. In this no aid whatever has
beon given by the General Govern
ment. On tho contrary, it's acts havo
been aggressive to the last extent,
and it is no exaggeration to say that
the Government Mt Washington has
wrought more Injury to the South
since the war than it was able to Of
feet during the conflict of arms.
ct is the strangest folly that ever
affected d blind people" J" '9 2"' +

The Missionary Record on Reform.

Speaking of tho reform movemcn
in this State, the colored editor of til
Missionary Record-popularly know
as Daddy Cain-explains how the tw
races were separated in sympath
three years ago; and recognizes i
this movement wish to bring thor
back into accord. Assuming that tn
whites are the moro active of the tw
just now, he says: "We certainly an
preoiate their feelings in that direc
tion, and do not object to their at
tempts to regain the confidence of th,
people. There are but few, if any
objectionable features in their meet
ing or resolutions. They demand JUS
and honest administration of govern
ment. They demand low taxation.-
They demand economy. They demand
honesty. All of these are reason
able and. just demands, and wo second
these demands with all our heart
We believe there is not Republican
in the State, who desires q good gov.
ernment, but will concur in these de.
mands. On these points we are all
ageed."
Note this language we'll. It is sig.
nlficant: III is the language of one
thoroughly aroused to the Infamous
administration which he has been do
nouncing so trenchantly of late.
Note the separation Of Republicans
into two classes.-those "eUAo desire a
good government" as all honest men
do; aud those who do not.
This latter class is the one at which
he is aiming his denunciations. 1t is
the one at which the Reform party is
directing its artillery.
"A few weeks ago the Miss,onaru
Record denounced these corruptions
in high places, and the rings that are
wrestling the hard-earned dollars from
our impoverished people. In Satur-
days issue it touches upon this matter
in this vein:
"The willful waste of the public
moneys in certain directions, the for
nation of oliques in and through
which this great waste is perpetrated,
are the most damning features of this
mlsgovernmcnt, and wanton extrava.
gance. We have heard Of the vibrat-
ing curses which have fallen upon our
head, since we called attention to this
81 p.hJ"c', d few weeks ago. We ad.
wise those gentlemen keep perfectly
cool; sc know enough of their tran
saotions, to hang them; and when they
push US to the wall we will tear of
the garments from their deformed
political carcasses, and exhibit them
to public gaze in such manner that
they will be confined 80 deep in their
Political graves that Gabricl's trumpet
will never awake them."
No doubt Daddy Cain knows some
OF those stunning facts which closed
the lips of Senators when Leslie on
the floor Of the Senate challenged
them to ask him about the land com.
mission moneys. The grave Senators
were silent that night ard to-day,
when Daddy Cain denounces them,
they are mute.
What power on earth can keep
closed all these lips during the coming
campaign. Q
Not all the bribery, bayonets, Win
chester rifles, and executive brigand-
age, nor all the dragooning, both mill
tia and constabulary, Of the Scott
ginss.-Guardian.

THIEVES GONG TO LAVA few days
ago Thomas Bryant, who has lately arrived
here from Richmond, deposited the sum OF
$3.50 with Francis jenkins for safekeepmg.
The latter keeps a cook-shop at the corner
of East Bay and Market streets, which is
said, among those who know, to be a gen.
eraI receptacle and deposit for plunder ac-
ouired by gang of thieves infesting our
city. Jenkins subsequently refused to de-
liver the money upt to his baiior on demand,
who forthwith instituted suit against him
for breach of trust and grand larceny before
Trial Justice Magrath. In default of bail
Jenkins was locked up in Jail, and he has
now employed a lawyer to get him out.
Bryant has likewise retained counsel, and
is in jail also. He says that he obtained
this money in Richmond. where his share
Of the plunder, on the division among his
gang, who robbed the Bank of Richmond
Of $4,000, was 81 1000. OF this he spent
$50 on his passage hither, and $40 subse-
.quently in the city. He has two witnesses
likewise in Jail who can prove the fact that
he deposited the $3.50 with jenkins, which
the latter denies. A hdbeds corpus has
been issued to bring jenkins before two
other trial justices for the purpose of re-
ducing the bail, which Is. now fixed at
81 800. The sheriff claims all the time al
lowed him, and no return will be made un-
til tomorrow Charleston Ne1nsT =
