The Pirate-F Fisherman.

The fish-market of Havana il
said to be the finest structure
of the kind in the world. Ital-
so interests the traveller by its
romantic association with the
story of Marti, reformed pirate
land smuggler, who built it and
the "Tacon Theater."
During the administration of
Tacon, from 1884 to 1888, smug-
CLING and piracy had grown so
bold in and about Cuba as to
defy the Spanish Navy sent to
suppress the outlaws. Their
leader was a man named Marti,
and for his person, dead or a
live, the Governor-General of
fered large reward.
One dark night man was
watching the sentlnels pacing
in front of the Governors Pal
ace, Havana. As they turned
their backs and separated for a
moment, the man sprang unob-
served through the entrance.
He passed up the broad stairs,
saluted in an imperious style the
guard there stationed, and pass
ed into the Governor Generals
room. The Governor, engaged
in writing, looked up as the
man coolly cast aside his cloak,
exclaiming:
"Who enters unannouncedw
"One who has information of
the pirates"
"What Of them?" said Tacon,
earnestly.
zone moment-I must not
sacrifice myself"
"You have naught to fear.
Even if you be one of them, you
will be pardoned."
"Will you pardon and reward
me if l reveal tie lurking-places
of the pirates, and put Marti in
to your hand?"
Il pledge you my word of
honor" said Tacon.
"Your cxcellency, | am Mar
IT,"
The cool scoundrel then EN-
tered into an arrangement with
the Governor for the betrayal
Of all the smugglers and pirates.
Under his guidance, the Span
sh vessels sailed to the outlaws
hiding-placcs and captured those
who We're not slain.
When Marti returned to l1a-
rana, he was offered the pardon,
which he accepted, and money,
which he declined. In lieu Of
he reward, he asked the monop-
,ly of selling fish in Havana.
It was granted, and he erected
! magnificent stone market.
When he became master of E.
lormous wealth, he built the
tire and named it after the Gov
'rnor-Gereral who had pardon I

FANCIFUL FIGURES
About the Fortunes of Four Rich
Men,. w. Mackey Said to be
Worth Two Hundred and Seven
ty-five Millions.

WI VI AVN AunO4 GU dHO SSbSu
ty-five Millions.
London Globe
The Liverpool Courier gives
some rather interesting particu-
lars as to the four men who are
supposed to be the most wealthy
living. OF these the poorest is
his grace the Duke of West
minister, whose income is set
down at 100000 ayear. TAX
ing it at that sum, the amount
which the Duke can spend with
out entrenching on his capital is
81, 900 a day, 500 per hour, and
81 los a minute. The next
man in the ascending scale is
Senator Jones,of Nevada, whose
income is valued at exactly one
million sterling, giving him the
right to spend, if he likes, 60 a
minute out of revenue. The
head Of the Rothschild family
comes next, with yearly in
come of two millions, and the
expenses which he can defray
thereout are, of course, double
as great rs those Of the Senator.
AT the top Of the list comes
Mr.J. w. .Mackey, with revenue
of % millions, which enables him
to disburse $1,000 a day, $500
an hour, and e5 a minute. The
fortunes of the other three are
insignificant if compared with
the gentleman's wealth. For
they were the growth of many
years, either of successful toll
or lucky speculation, or both
combined. But Mr.. Mackey, as
the Courier remarks, was thirty
years ago a penniless boy in
Ireland. Sixteen years ago he
was bankrupt; and now he is
the owner Of the richest silver
mine that has ever been discov-
cred. There is, therefore, hope
for all the penniless boys in
could Ireland. F" We commend
to them the example of Mr.. j.
w. Mackey, who, it appears, is
now only forty-fve years old,
and if he goes on at the same
rate as during the last sixteen
years will have ample time to
treble his fortune and possess
an income ten times as large as
that of the Duke of Westmin-
ster. Already the capitalized |
value of his property is set down
at 55,0O0,000 sterling, against
the modest 100000 Of the
Duke. Such figures are pleas
ing to the eye and ear, but we
regret to add that the Liverpool
Courier does not by any means
vohch for the accuracy of the to-
tails it published.

"HandsAround the Washrag."
Cincinnati Gazette.


Here is a story vouched fol-
by an estimable lady Of Mount
Auburn. A few days ago her
attention was attracted to the
singing Of a hymn tune in front
of the house by a number of
children. The words struck her
as a little bit out of the ordinary
style. She listened and plainly
caught this refrain, which was
repeated ad Ibjtatm:
"Hand around the washrag,
Hand around the washrag!"
Her curiosity was excited.
She asked the tuneful choir
whence came the song. "Sun-
day school," was the answer.
Were they positive? Oh yes;
they sang it nearly every Sun
day. 1t was an awful nice song.
Would they repeat the next line
after that describing the per-
formance with a washrag! They
did, and the lady, who is famil-
lar with Sunday school music,
recognized a so-cailed hymn
which, in accordance with the
namby pamby style of the Sun
day school songs of to-day, has
an oft reiterated refrain which
runs: orally round the watch
wordI" This, in the minds of
the little ones, had been transla-
ted into "IIand around the wash
rag" And now, query-isn't
there more sense in the children's
version than in the original?"

Tried to Save Her Dress.
IDanbury (Conn } News.1

Occasionally a man gets his
foot caught in a railway track
as train is nearly due. lie
doesn't try to save the boot. He
takes his knife and cuts it off to
release his foot. A woman in
Derby caught her dress on the
track Just as a train was coming
along. Did she give the dress a
pull and release herself? Not
at all. That would have torn
the cloth. She bent down and
tried to loosen the place, but not
succeeding in time, drew her
body back from the rail as far
as the dress would permit with
out tearing, to wait until after
the cars went by. But their
speed was so great that the force
threw her against a bank, cut
ting a deep cash in her head,
bruising her body, and worse
than all, tearing the dress.

the 9Th MARYLAND, and was passed by
Drs. Creek and Perry, of Baltimore.
The reason she enlisted was because she
got into ga little difficulty" She paid
one of the doctors $3.50 for passing her.
She was asked, "Were you wounded
at any time?'
"Yes, sir,'' she replied; al was

and three years in the field. When l
was wounded in the side l went to New
bern, but was not so bad that could

The name she enlisted under was
Henry Williams. She said she was
handy with gun, and rose to be a ser
geant. She marched with the rest, used
a regular musket and bit the cartridges,
"although it was pretty hard on the
teeth" She kept her hair cut short.
When she got into the hospital it was
discovered that she was a woman, but
when she got well they did not dis
charge her. There were six men in her
mess. Her story is hard to believe, but
it is undoubtedly true, and Mr.. Mann
thinks pension should be awarded her.

A Female COlored Soldier.


A VERY curious case has been devel-
oped before Prothonotary Mann, in Phil
adelphia. Ayoung colored woman who
served in the ranks during the war made
application for a pension, stating that
she believed she was entitled, because
of her long service during the rebellion,
and having received three or four
wounds, one of which kept her in the
hospital for a number of months. She
is rather neat-looking colored woman,
giving her name as Catharine Hill and
her age, rs near as she can tell, about
thirty-two. She told such straight
forward story, entering into all the de-
tails of her service in the army, that it
seemed impossible TO doubt her, espe-
cially as she is able TO produce wit
nesses to substaniiafe her story. The
Parliamentary questioned her closely,
and her answers were always ready.
The case was such an interesting one
that it excited more than ordinary at
tention Catharine was in the service
between three and four years, and, al
though her sex was known after she was
in the hospital, she was permitted to
continue in the service, and at the close
of the war received an honorable dis
