A Nantucket correspondent of the Boston Advertiser
gives entertaining illustration of the gradual pro-
gress of opinion in this annecdote about shipmate
who accompanied him of his early whaling yoy-
ages: Stiles was simple hearted, transparent young
fellow and when sailed had been paying attention
for some time to young lady, who, he had to
think did fully recprocate bis ardent feelings At
all events the parting, her side, not afec-
tonae as he could wish, and ne was impressed with
the belief that she only kept him standby, in de-
fault of better Offer
'sI don't believe, Stiles would say, with despon
dent shake of his head =" don't believe Ann Jones IL
have me anyhow"
When we had been out few months and had met
with fair success, Stiles tone modified The bur
den of his monologue changed to, We'll, domino
but what Ann Jones IL have me, after all.n
With a thousand barrels of oil under matches, he be
came still hopeful - Chance is pretty good for
Ann Jones, /" be would say: Pretty good now"
At fifteen hundred barrels he had assumed a self
satisfied manner and soliloquized "I guess there's no
danger but what Ann Jones II have me now At two
thousand barrels" Ann Jones n be glad enough
to get me, know"
When we cut the last whale that to fill the YES
sels hold and squared away for home Stiles threw his
hat in the air with wild Indian yell of triumph, !" Til
be hanged if IN hare Ana Jones, anyhow."

Reverend Cooke, it will be seen by
the dispatch elsewhere printed, indi-
Gated upon his return little of that
spirit of repentance, which alone can
charitably dispose the public to ward his
late disgraceful exploit. If the Prod
igal Son had returned heme flourisbing
a revolver and trying to punch the
head Of every newspaper man of the
period who had inserted his name in
the Police reports, we doubt If public
sentiment about his fathers household
would have allowed any contributions
to his stock of Ornamental jewelry or
permitted al extravagant butchers
bill to be run up in order to furnish the
fat veal of paternal forgiveness. He
would more likely have been sent to
the lookup and at an early day con-
signed to the consultations of the chain
gang. And so this theological brother
may learn that confession of the JUS
tice of current criticism will corral the
sympathiss of the public, much moro
readily than cursing the critics.
There is a palpable fraud attempted
ia the dispatch of which we speak. We
refer to the passage which declares that
the friends of both parties arc satisfied
that the lady in the case "has returned
from her enforced tour as pure as when
she went away" The first inclination
is to inquire how pure a young
lady must be to run away with mar
ried man, whether the difference be-
tween that sort of purity and positive
impulity is worth preserving and
whether granting all that is claimed,
it would not be more satisfactory to be
informed that the lady in question
is as pure as when she first knew
Reverend HORACE CooKEi The iAti-
nation of forcible abduction, con.
veyed in the words enforced
tour" is also rather thin. What
ever else there may be in the case, there
is not the slightest indication of the
use of violence. 1t has been palpable
from the start that the parson never
carried that girl off against her will.
Aud yet when we think of the sad
hearts that were wrung to agony
by her disappearance, the intense
modification Of these whose lives she
lighted and whose joy she was, We can
forgive much TO the loving purpose that
would save her fair fame from blot, even
at the sacrifice of truth. Let them pre-
serve her reputation if they can't
is to be hoped her recent experience
will be the guarantee of her propriety
in future-and hereafter let those
who are interested in her and her class,
bestow an intensely watchtul optic
upon the male associates of their wards
and daughters, no matter what STATEN
those associates may fill.

The Most Costly shnckIes Ever Made


We were shown this morning a novel
chain made entirely of $50 gold pieces,
all of the coinage of 1869. 1t was made
for singular purpose. Some fifteen
years ago a man named Clark was sent
to the State prison from New Haven by
order of the Superior Court. He had
been convicted of murder, but it was
proved that he was insane at the time he
committed the deed; so he was only con-
fined to await the further orders of the
court. All this time he has conducted
himself in q harmless manner, spend
ing his time in light work and carving
trtles, but no efforts have been made
for any other disposition of him until
recently, when the matter was taken
up by Mr.. Ii. C.. Dorsey, of Pawtucket,
r. l., known as the Convict's Friend,
who has made application for his re-
lease. The case has been taken in
charge by HGn. f. X. Foster, formerly
State Attornx7 for New Haven county,
who appeared before Jadge Pardee, at
the Superior Court in this city to-day.
Mr.. Dorsey intended that Clark should
be brought into court bound with the
golden chain above referred to, bnt it
was found that his presence was not
necessary. No time has yet been set
tied for hearing of the case.
The chain is composed of sixty. six
twenty. dollar gold pieces-that number,
Mr.. Dorsey says, representing the num-
Der of words in the Lords prayer.
They are oil bright new coins, fresh
from the mint, and have never been
used. The value of the chain is 1890,
outside of the work and links.
