The Man With a Glass Eye.

from the Chicago Inter-O Ocean.
Speaking of glass eyes, said an old
lawyer, brings to mind little incl
dent that occurred inChicago. Among
our young professional men Is one
whose brilliant black eyes would at
tract attention anywhere. He gees
much into society, and is quite IA
vorite among the ladies because of his
eyes. One of these beautiful black
eyes is glass, but it seems so much
the counterpart of the other that not
one person in hundred would detect
its artifciality. Among the members
of his profession not one knows that
the young man has only one good
eye.
On one occasion he escorted a
young lady to the refreshment tables
and entertained her with pleasant
chat in way that he thought was
making a favorable impression. AS
they were taking ice-cream he looked
up as she gave utterance to some
startling exclamation, and was sur
prised to see her eyes fixed on him
with a look of mystifed intentness
and horror. She was o well-bred girl,
but something so astonished her that
she continued to look at him in way
that raised the question of his sanity.
A fly had lit square in the centre of
his black glass eye. and remained there,
he, of course, unconscious of it's pres
ence. The spectacle ofSthat eye look
ing at her with a ssfy on it and the
owner making no attempt to brush it
off was too much for his companion.
His explanation, even, was not quite
satisfactory She had believed SO I'M
plicitly in those magnificent eyes that
she has since that time regarded him
as something of a fraud

A Ships Remarkable Voyage.

Captain J. n. Armstrong, now in
co nmand of the bark Kalakaua, load
ing lumber at Port Blakely for the west
coast of South America, was in Seattle
the other day. Captain Armstrong
will be remembered as the commander
who brought the ship Templar from
New York to San Francisco few
years ago on one of the most remark
able passages on record. After being
out for some time, the captain went TO
a foreign port, and for some reason his
crew, excepting the officers, left. Fin
ally two English ships came in, and
from them Captain Armstrong made
up new crew, and after being out
four days, the entire crew, including
the captain and his daughter, were
taken down with yellow fever. The
first mate died. and several OF the sail
ors. Those who had the disease less
violent threw the dead overheard, one
by one. The ship drifted about with
out pilot or navigator for more than
year. The captain, for two years, was
so violent from the raYings of the fever
that he had to be chained to the deck
to keep him from jumping overheard.
He wears the scars from the chains and
lashings to this day. .s.4
During the year that the ship drifted
about, the second mate and three or
four of the sailors recovered, but being
out of sight of land, and not under
standing navigation, they were power
less to do anything with the ship. Fin
ally the daughter regained her reason,
but not her strength. Ole day she sent
for the second mate and asked him to
carry her on deck, (which he did. She
then sent for her fathers instruments,
ard by the aid OF these and her knowl-
edge Of navigation she figured out the
location of the vessel. She then took
the charts from the cabin and traced
out route to San Francisco. She
then practically took command OF the
vessel and ordered the second mate and
SURVIVING members of the crew to make
sail, and gave them the direction in
which to sail. Every day for months
she would be carried on deck to take
the sun and give her orders.
Days and weeks passed and the ship
continued on her journey. Being SO
light-handed the vessel could not be
properly handled and could carry but
little sail, consequently her progress
was slow. After many weary, dreary
months the Captain regained his reas-
on, and when he learned of what his
daughter had done he was greatly sur
prised, and declared that had he been
placed in the same position he could
not have done better. The ship was
loaded with general merchandise, the
cargo being insured for over $4,000, geo.
The long absence of the ship, and no
tidings from her, led The owners and all
interested parties to believe that she,
with all hands on board, had been lost.
Imagine their surprise, after the sup
posed fate of the ship had almost pass
| ed from their minds when one bright
day in summer the ship Templar, with
her cargo all intact, came sailing into
| San Francisco bay.
