gro squatter. The cabin was structure
OF poles which man could have pushed
over, aud the roof was simply a lot Of
straw and weeds and bushes thrown
upon the rafters and held down by
large limbs. The one room was not
over twelve feet square, aud in this,
with no floor but tbs bare earth, lived
a family Of nine. There were tWO straw
beds, one chair. ono old table, three
plates. one knife, one fork, two spoons
and a bowl. It had been raining and a
part Of the earthly floor was a mud pud-
die. The family had about five pounds
OF meal and three or four of bacon, aud
of all the patches one ever saw the great
est show vas right there. The old man
trousers, eleven on the other, seven on
his vest, and his cotton shirt was also
patched in a dozen places with red,
yellow, and white and blue WOODEN.
The old w0man's dress looked like a
crazy quilt, and two of the boys had
only one trousers leg apiece.
"Great Scots but how do you live?''

ing the horse.

A SEA CAPTAIN ; kEvAaGR.

1t has often been said there is no des-
potism in the world equal to that exer-
cised by the captain of a vessel while az
sea. This, Of course, does not apply to
yachts, for these are not registered yes
sells, but sail under q license, and the
captain of such q craft could be dis
charged by the owner when in mid
ocean, il for any reason, the owner
found fault with HIS management. But
with merchant vessels, when once ont
of port. tho authority of the captain is
by the laws Of every nation, supreme.
It is necessary that this should be SO.
A ship, when at sea, represents num-
Der of different interests: those who
own the cargo, those who insure the hull
and its contents, and there are the lives
of the crew, and possibly of passengers.
There must be responsible, directing
head. armed with the legal power to en-.
force shy order he may think necessary
for tho protection of these different in
terests, and this authority could. be
lodged nowhere but with the captain.
His judgment may be at fault, but il at
the end Of q voyage he can make oath,
that he considered what he did to be me-
ce6sary, for tho protection 0f the later.
ests intrusted his keeping 1t IL almost
impossible to punish him for his mis-
takes. An example Of this xAy6itqayY
power was given some y0aYsag0b by the
captain Of Qnerchant vessel smiling
from one of our Atlantic ports. The
ship was bound on voyage TO the west
coast Of South America, and her owner
invited ono or two Of his frienda 10 10
down the bay in her and return in the
piIOt boat. When outside. tho WoatlaAr
