Bill NOakes' Trial.
by MARK TWAIN.

CAPT. NED BLAKELY-that name
" will answer as well as any other fic-
titious one (for he was still with the living
at last accounts, and may not desire TO be
famous)- )--sailed ships out of the harbor of
San Francisco for many years. He was a
stalwart, warm-hearted, eagle-eyed veteran,
who had been a sailor nearly fifty years
a sailor from early boyhood. He was a
rough, honest creature, full Of pluck, and
Just as full of hard-headed simplicity, too.
He hated trifing conventionalities-" busi-
ness'' was the word, with him. He had all
sailors vindictiveness against the quips
and quirks of the law, and he steadfastly
believed that the first and last aim and
object of the law and lawyers was to de-
feat justice.
He sailed for the Chincha Islands in COM
mand of guano ship. He had fine crew,
but his negro mate was his pet, on him he
had for years lavished his admiration and
esteem. 1t was Capt. Ned's first voyage to
the Chinchas, but his fame had gone before
him--the fame of being man who would
fight at the dropping of a handkerchief,
when imposed upon, and would stand no
nonsense. Il was fame we'll earned. Ar.
rived in the islands, he found that the
staple of conversation was the exploits OF
one Bill Noakes the mate of trading
ship. This man had created small reign
of terror there. At nine o'clock at night,
Capt. Ned, all alone, was pacing his deck
in the starlight. A form assembled his side,
and approached him. Capt. Ned said
"Who goes there ?"
"Tm Bill Noakes, the best man in the
islands"
"What do you want aboard this ship|'
"I've heard of Capt. Ned Blakely, and
one of us is better man than 'tother-I'l
know which, before so ashore"
"You've come to the right shop-I'm
your man. I'll learn you to come aboard
this ship without an invite"
He seized NoalSes, backed him against
the mainmast, pounded his face to pulp
and threw him overheard.
Noakes was not convinced. lie returned
the next night got the pulp renewed, ant

was satisfied.
A week after this, while Noakes was ca
rousipg with sailor crowd on shore, Al
MONDAY, Capt. Ned's colored mate cam'
along, and Noakes tried to pick a quarre
with him. The negro eyaded the trap, anC
tried to get away. Noakes followed hin
up; the negro began to rnn; Noakes free
on him with revolver and killed him.
Half DOZEN sea-captains witnessed th'
whole affair. Noakes retreated to th'
small after-cabin OF his ship, with tw'
other bullies, and gave out that dealt

SOWING.

Are we sowing seeds of kindness
They shall blossom right ere long.
Are we sowing seeds Of discord?
They shall ripen into wrong.
Are we sowing seeds of honorl
They shall bring forth golden grain.
Are we sowing seeds of falsehood3
We shall yet reap bitter pain.
Whatsoever our sowing be,
Reaping, we its fruits must see.
We can never be too careful
What the seeds our hands shall SOW.
Love from love is sure to ripen,
Hate from hate is sure to grow;
Seeds of good or i'll we scatter
Heedlessly along our way;
But glad or grievous fruitage
Waits us at the harvest day,
Whatsoever our sowing be,
Reaping, we its fruits shall see.

NETWORK. FRIDAY. MARCH s, 1872.

Mrs. Garvey is the person TO whom the success oil
the negotiations ia due for without her influence
over her husband il would have been i'm
possible TO induce him TO return. Mrs.
Garvey was formerly cash clerk at Frederick's
photograph gallery. and very shrewd business
woman, and when she learned abroad that Tweed
Connolly and the rest attempting to cornpro-
mise and avoid the consequence Of their crimes she
urged her husband to return and save himself and
property. She finally returned to the city in Janu-
airy last, and attempted. at first, to combine with
Tweed and the rest in the compromise which they
were seeking to effect, but finally she went
10 the Attorney General and opened nego-
tiatoLs with him. She made "a good bargain" "
with the General, and about a month ago Garvey
himself returned the city and TO his residence at
No. East Forty-seventh-st. Here ne has been kept
in close going about the city only in his
carriage, and never to public places. The reappear
of Garvey put end to the efforts at compro-
mise of the suits the Attorney General now feels
confident of recovering all the money traced to
Tweed and his fellows.

In Police circles the temperance OF GarVey haS
created the most profound establishment. There
were few among those who knew him well who be-
lieved that any inducement would prevail on nm 10
come back either in the character Of witness or de-
PENDANT On one point all seemed agreed, however
that being here, and in the hands of those engaged
in ferreting out the frauds in which he was con-
cerned and with the Diet ais of which he Is so con-
versaut, he would tel all he knew concerning them
In other words he would make clean
breast of the transactions whereby the city was
swindled out of many millions. 1t was uni
versally conceded that he was the most important
witness that could have been procured at TINS stage
Of the proceedings against the citys plunderers'
not even excepting William Hennessey Cook
the reputed youcherthief Garyey, it i
alleged has no moral courage, and will impleate all
concerned with him in his swindlng transactions II
thereby lie can save himself, even at the
cost of making restitution of oil MS
share Of the robberies. None of the heads OF
the police were present at the Central Once
last night. and it is understood that discreet silence
concerning the temperance Of Garvey Is preserved
by the most of them. The proceedings of to-day u
looked forward to with the utmost interest.
