A Sea Captains Revenge.

1t has often been said that there is no
despotism in the world equal to that
exercised by the Captain of vessel
when at sea. This, of course, does not
apply TO yachts, for those are not regis
tered vessels. but sail under a license,
aDd the Captain of such craft could
be discharged by the owner when in
midocean If for any reason the owner
found fault with his management. But
with merchant vessels when once out of
port the authority of the Captain is, by
the laws of every nation, supreme. 1t
is necessary that this should be so. A
ship when at sea represents a number
of different interests those who own the
vessel, those who own the cargo, those
that insure the hull and its contents,
and then last, but not least, are the
lives of crew and possibly of passengers.
There must be responsible directing
head, armed with the legal power to
enforce any order he may think neces-
sary for the protection OF these differ
ent interests, and this authority could
be lodged nowhere but with the Cap
tain. His Judgment may be at fault,
but if, at the end of voyage, he can
make oath that he considered what he
did to be necessary for the protection
of the interests intrusted to his keeping,
it is almost impossible to punish him
for his mistakes. An example of this
arbitrary power was given some years
ago by the Captain of a merchant vessel
sailing from one of our Atlantic ports
The ship was bound on a voyage to the
uaSt coast South o,-ioo ap1 hon.
owner invited one or two of his friends
to go down the bay in her and return
On the pilot boat. When outside the
weather became somewhat threatening,
and the pilot boat was not Immediately
on hand The Captain had long cher
ished grudge against the owner and
saw In the situation an opportunity of
revenging himself. In spite of COM
mands and then of appeals made by the
owner, his friends and the pilot, he put
his vessel upon her course and sailed
out to sea. His involuntary passengers
were, of course, In wretched state of
mind coming, as they did, wholly UNI
prepared for a voyage around Cape
Horn, and well aware that their rela-
tives and friends would have doubts as
to their existence. This led the owner
to resort to methods which led the Cap
tain to construe to be mutinous, and
hence he had the former placed in con-
finement, while the entire party, with
the exception of the pilot, were treated
very much as if they had been common
sailors, so far as their food supply was
concerned. When the ship arrived at
her port of destination the Captain was
instantly dismissed; but that was all
the punishment that could be visited
upon him.

A NEW DRAMATIC STAR.
The Success of Miss Mather as Julie,

The Success of Miss Mather as Juliet.
From the Chicago Tribune
The result of Miss Margaret Mathers first
weeks experience on the dramatic stage has
demonstrated in the most conclusive man
ner that the Judgment OF her manager, Mr..
j M. Hill, was not at all at fault when he de
clared, months ago, that the public would
not be disappointed in his star, and that she
would please the tastes of the most critical
as well as the general mass of theater goers
Public patronage is universally conceded 30
be the only true test of success on
the stage, and in the case of Miss
Mather this particular mark of approval has
been bestowed in a most generous fashion
Night after night McVicker's Theater has
been filed with audiences that went away
pleased and told others to come And at the
matinee yesterday every seat i'm the lower
part of the house was sold before the doors
were open-something that does not occur
twice year And, now that the financial az
well as the artistic success OF the venture il
assured it is not inappropriate to say a word
in praise of Mr.. Hill, TO whom the people
of thiscity are indebted for the very best pre-
sentation of Romeo and Juliet" ever seen i'm
this country. 1t is ag atifying fact and one
full OF promise, to find a manager who an
preciates the fact that the only way 10 make
Shakespeare popular and profitable is by pro
ducing his plays in a style of uniform ex-
cellence, and not by. surrounding star with
q collection of sticks

Raking in the Pot.

For several years many OF the resi-
dents of certain village in Pennsyl-
vania had been predicting that the old
man s. was slowly dying of consump-
ton, and in March last bets of Three to
one were freely offered that he would
not outlive the summer. About the LIST
of April the old man went to Philadel-
phia to be examined by the doctors to
see if his case was as bad as thought
for, and after an absence of several days
he returned home very quietly and called
his eldest son in from the barn and said:
peter, it is generally believed by our
neighbors that l have consumption
Yes, father"
"And that a few more weeks will
plant me under the daisies.
That's what they say, father"
"Well, you get up early tomorrow
and you go out and bet my watch and
my horse and my gun, and my buggy,
and this house and lot, and all the
money we can scrape up and borrow,
that don't turn up my toes for year.
Bet even bet two to one bet any way
you can, for Providence has sent us this
occasion as q harvest"
"But we may lose, father ?"

Lord Macaulay's Parents.

Macaulay's father, Zachery Macaulay,
was prodigy of disinterestedness and
self-sacritice man of austere piety
who may be said to have saved his own
soul by his unceasing efforts to save the
souls of others, and who did his work in
life with the ever-present feeling that
the eve of his Maker was upon him.
He was rs sparing of fine words as he
was lavish of good deeds; and in after
life he sometimes exclaimed, when some
great emergency of religious Of phil
anthropic enterprise pressed on his
conscience for efforts beyond his power
"Oh if ] only had my sons power of
speech !"
Yet i'll the company of such men as
Wilberforce, Clarkson, Stephen and
Thornton his mere presence was an in
SEPARATION, and the conversation always
had reference to the opinions and char
acter of him who was the only silent
person in the room.
The piety of his wife was of a less
severe strain, being blended with her
feminine softness and tenderness of
heart; and there is something indie
scribably affecting in letter she wrote
to her son at school In it she tells him
that the first time she saw his dear face,
she repeated this stanza from the cradle
hymn of Watts:
Mayst thou live to know and fear Him,
Trust and love Him all thy days;
Then go dwell forever near Him,
See His face and sing His praise.
The ideals of parents are seeds that
spring up, blossom and bear fruit in
their children. This is especially the
case with the ideals of mothers; their
sons commonly fulfill their desires and
prayers. This is largely true in the life
of Lord Macaulay, which was one of the
most useful of his times.

"Yes-no-perhaps. Tell me some
thing, Mr.. Bolton Why do you rush
off so, and make everybody miserable?"

any one who is miserable?"
mot your sister ?"
"Well. yes. But there are times in
mans life when even sister, though
good, kind one, can't quite satisfy him"

desperately, /" Mr.. Bolton, would you go

1 am very sorry, indeed"

But. you see, il don't cure-it don't help

cried Edith, losing all patience. "Can't
you see anything. Bob Bolton? Don't
you know don't want you to go ?" Her
face was red, her eyes full of tears, her
mouth huttering like roseleaf, as she
spoke.
Bolton was amazed. "Miss Edith |!
You don't-do you ?-What is 1t you
mean? Do you ask me to stay ?"
"Of course 1 do You might see that
much |"
"What for. then ?" he asked, quickly.
ooh, nothing You needn't stay Go
if you like, don't care can live with
out you !" She sprung up to fly, but
Bolton just gathered her into his arms.
But can't live without you !" he
cried. "I'll stay if you'll come and live
with me Say quick, Edith Yes or
MOP"
Yes-no-I don't care I" painted
Edith, very red and embarrassed. But
Bolton gathered her meaning, and in
stead of being the miserable fellow he
came there, was as happy as King.
So was Edith, though she wouldn't have
owned it for the world. She is happy
yet, though she did marry farmer, and
lives in the country over half of each
year.

A worthless wsg was Philo Freer,
Nagabond, acute and queer,
Who did az little "a he could
TO earn u scanty livelihood,
\ laughing, lnckless, lazy tout,
Who hunted, fshed, and loafed about,
or ran ON errands for his bread
Who never had cent ahead
A being nf that curious kind
The traye er will always mud
On c,ming to q country town,
Before the tavern, sitting down.
One day a Snowman passed that way,
Whose name wa Eppanetus Bray
All ea-y-going sort OF man,
no Travelled with caravan
Exhibiting where'er he went
Beneath dusky canvas tent,
A two-legged horse, three-legged hen,
A woman with wondrous wen,
A Tartar girl with fourteen toes,
That balanced b titles on her nose,
A dwarf that danced an Irish jig,
A snake and educated pig,
Aud other things rare and strange,
BY which he shrewdly gained his change
Great things from little nothinRs grow,
Like "Brsy's Behemoth Moral Show"
One sultry day, Freer meeting Bray,
Said TO him, in n solemn way:
- saw about a month ago
A splendid subject for your show
A great attraction you'll admit
The moment have told of IT.;
A man whose face was 0ne-hdt black,
And can put you on his track.
And will, II you will promptly pay
A double to me to-day"
"Agreed," the anxious Snowman cried.
"Then follow me" the rogue replied.
The money paid. Through highways mean.
BY by-ways narrow and uncean-
Freer led the way till Bray began
To wonder where they'd find their man.
At last Freer paused, and, with a eer,
He said to Bray, Behold him here;"
The Snowman gazed from where he stood,
And saw a negro saving wood.
"You see," said Freer, with accent keen,
- Both halves are black and you are green"
