The Heir Coming of Age.

cat a coming OF age ofthe heir there
is great celebration" writes Adam
Badeau in the last OF his papers on the
English aristocracy. at is feast fol
tenants and family relatives, init
mate friends and laborers on the es,
tate. The house is crowded with
guests, and the neighbors of rank
often open their establishments and
assist in the hospitality. There are
booths and marques upon the lawn,
an OK is roasted whole, beer and wine
are abundant, and the best Of humol
prevails. All classes mingle freely,
and the upper tenants are invited to
the dining-room. A speech is made
by the heir. The father and mother
and other relatives stand near, the
flag flies over him, the tenantry and
retainers cheer, the brothers and
sisters are proud, or envious, who
can say which? and the young lord
feels all his grandeur and Importance,
perhaps more keenly than ever again.
There is drlye over the estate,
which is everywhere decorated with
indications OF loyal regard; presents
are made to the poor and their chill.

sometimes even poachers are forgiven
or released. At night the great house
and the villages are illuminated
Everything is done to foster the feud
al feeling that still fingers, and the
paternal system and influence of the
aristocracy are as conspicuous as on
any occasion yet left IN England"

Thrilling Tale of the Rebel Navy.

On the 7th OF July, 1861, the Con.
federate privateer "Jetf Davis captur.
ed the ~. w. Waring" with a valu.
able assorted cargo for Monte Video
and Buenos Ayres. This vessel was
taken about $50 miles east OF Sandy
| Hook. when the crew of the Waring
| were transferred to the Davis, with the
exception OF negro cook, and prize
crew took their places with instruc-
tions to make the most convenient
Southern harbor. The prize-master
was Captain Amiel, a Charleston pilot
and generous, whole-souled sailor.
| Four others OF the crew of the Davis
were placed under his command. As
learned afterward the Waring was
headed for Charleston, and was with
in few hours run OF that city when
her voyage in that direction was
brought to an abrupt termination.
The rude sailors or the Waring dur,
ing the trip had very foolishly divert,
ed themselves by telling the negro
cook, William Tillman, that they in.
tended to sell him when they reached
| Charleston, and add considerable to
their share of the prize money. These
| threats although uttered in Jest, had
SO alarmed Tillman as to drive HIM
almost frantic with apprehension and
led to the terrible tragedy, which
quickly followed.
On the mig ghts Of the 10Th and 18th
OF July, Captain Amiel, with his mates,
Stephens and --, had gone into
the cabin, entirely unsuspicious of i'm.
pending danger, and were enjoying
their last slumbers. Miner, q young
and the fifth man, a foreigner, who
was privy to Tillman's plans, was
in the forecastle. Aiming him.
self with an axe the desper.
ate negro crept noiseessly into the
cabin, and i'll a moment, with three
quick strokes OF the weapon, three
men lay dead with cioven skulls. In
another instant the bloody axe was
brandished over the head of Miner,
| with the threat that unless he assisted
i'll getting the Waring back to n North
ern port he would share the fate OF his
comrades. Submission was unavoid-
able, and although none OF the trio
were navigators, the bows of the War.
ing were turned northward. Being fa.
vored with fair weather and keeping
the shore line in sight, the Warine
made good progress and was picked
up by pilot while 200 miles south OF
New York and taken into that city.
Her arrival created great sensa-
ton, and Tillman became conspic-
uous lion. He was awarded salvage
to the amount, If recollect correctly,
OF $4,000. Barnum, the museum
man, engaged the services OF Tillman,
with his CORY axe, and for weeks he
constituted one OF his principal at
