William, the elder brother, contested
the suit warmly, and 1t was only upon

her reputed parents. 1t was shown in
evidence that Peter Simmons had In

AMSTERDAM.

Amsterdam, like Venice, Is built
upon piles, and its streets are nearly all
accessible by canals-evea to the doors
Of many Of the dwelling houses and
stores. Like the Queen of the Adriatic,
writes traveller, it has its three hun
dred bridges, but yet it is no more like
Venice than I to Hercules. Amsterdam
is all reality and Of the most practical
character in its aspect, while Venice is
like a midsummer nights dream. There
are sections Of the thickly peopled por-
tions of the place that present the out
door aspect Of humble life, so noticeable
in the Italian cities, though the indi-
viduality Of the two races, so to speak,
could hardly be wider apart in external
Gspect-One dark as night, the other
blonde and bright as the sunshine.
never saw such an array of rosy cheeks
and fresh compilations as the Dutch
women exhibit in thestreets of Amster-
dam; they present a very strong con-
trast after travelling in Southern
Europe. There, as throughout Ger
many, the women divide the heavy
work with the men; they steer the
large merchant crafts that navigate the
broad canals they row the smaller
boats side by side with the husband or
brother, even using the long propelling
poles at the shoulder, walking along
the gunwales of the heavily-laden
crafts. Many Of the streets Of the city
would be quite handsome, with due
allowance for Dutch architecture, were
it not for a proclivity which the nhab-
itants evince for painting their houses
black outside, giving rather funereal
aspect to the long range OF facades in
many Quarters. AS nearly all mer-
cIlandise is transported by the canals,
there is a noticeable absence of all sorts
of vehicles except dog-carts and pas
senger vans; consequently a Venice
like silence pervades the scene. The
queer aspect of the low countries, as
presented in the form of hundreds of
wind-mills, is not wanting even in the
very city itself.

ADULTERATED TEA,-A case which
threw some light upon the coloring of
tea, came before the Court OF Queens
Bench in London recently. A grocer,
carrying on business at Birkinhead,
had been convicted of adulteration, his
green tea having been faced with Prus-
sian blue and gypsum. On his part it
was shown that the ten as sold by him
was in the same state as when it cam e
from abroad; and it was stated that the
"green' tea imported from China was
invariably painted and faced in this
manner. The Justice said atradesman
could only be protected by putting up
in his shop, 81 sell tea from China
adulterated with Prussian blue and gyp-
sum-" or he should tell the purchaser
that he was selling such. The convic-
ton was affirmed.-English paper.

THE Semitic In the last hours Of the
session did many sensible things, and
among them passed the bill authorizing
the coinage of ftwenty-cent pieces. This
will rid the Pacific Coast Ofa nuisance.
Two and a half cents is not a large
sum, but as matters stand it Is quite
possible for any ordinary man to lose
that amount twenty or thirty times per
day the whole year round, unless he
likes to risk black looks by giving dime s
where 'sbits'' are demanded, "a thing few
men care to do. The coinage Of TWEEN
ty-cent pieces win do away with a the
loss that comes from the reckoning by

Our Cooks Revenge

Early In the summer Of lS43 1 took
passage on board the ship Hunter, at
tar oniy' - s-si;asae % run with her as
sisted Of twenty-one men, ~isss-ssess,
in the forecastle, and there were eight
Of us aftin the cabln-the captain and
his three mates, the supercargo and
three passengers. Thetaptain's name
was John Martin. He was a native o.
the State Of Maine, a stout, impulsiVe,
true-heafted sailor, about forty years Of
age. His three mates were excellent
sailors, the supercargo was a perfect
gentleman and an extensive traveller,
and my two passenger companions
were men whose good qualities of heart
had long appreciated.
The crew Of the ship were mostly
good-looklng men, but there was one
that struck me unfavorably-that was
the cook. He was an African, us blacI,
as night, and went by the name ofMax
Condor, a powerfully built fellow, with
a breast and arms like the gear of a
mill. But it was his head-his face
most attracted my attention. The base
Of his skull was. large, while the top
dwindled away almost to the apex of a
cone. From ear to ear the skull was
broader than have ever seen in any
person. His face was also peculiar,
possessing all the special African char
acteristics, but it had a sort of vacant
cunning, II recklessness and indiffer-
ence Of look seldom seen. But he was
a good cook, and as yet no one had
difficulty with him.
The eighth day out we passed the
southern cape of Sicily, Passaro, and
before dark had left the land on our
starboard quarter. At sundown the
wind veered, and soon lulled away al
most to dead calm.
Mr.. Clarke, said the Captain address,
ing his first mate, we are going to have
a blow out of this.
think so, sir, returned the mate.
One of those regular screamers of the
gulf. But we've got plenty of sea-
room.
So we have, added the Captain. But
you may send the light spars on deck,
and think it well to send the top
gallant masts down.
1t would be safe enough, think.
Then would have it done at once.
All hands were called to shorten sail
and prepare the ship for storm. As
the light sails were all taken in, prepa-
ratiOns were made for sending down
the spars, and the men set to work
with will. The foretop-gallaut mast
came down, and then the men went to
the main. They bowsed away on the
rope, but the heel OF the mast had
rswelled, and they found hard work to
raise it so as to draw the fid. The cook
sat in his galley as composed as though
nothing was going on. One Of the
men espied him, and the query was at
once started, why he could not come
out and lend hand.
All, forgot the cook, said the Cap
tain, who heard the remarks Of the
men. Here, Max, come out and lend
a hand to the mast rope.
Bat the negro did not stir.
Did you hear, Max? asked the Cap
tain, moving nearer to the door of the
galley.
/ Yes-I heard, replied the cook, look
ing coolly up.
Then bear a hand and man the mast
rope.
But cook did not move yet.
Are you going to obey me? asked
the Captain, while the blood mounted
to his face.
faint my place to pull and haul,
continued Condor.
Its your place to obey, said the Cap
tain very calmly, yet with a slight
trcmblc in his voice.
