IN THE TROPIC SEAS.
The Ocean BY Night and Day Off
the South American Coast.


Night: Steaming toward the equator,
with Demerara for goal. A terrific
warm wind that compels the taking
in of every awning and wind-sail.
Driving tepid rain. Blackness intense,
bro ken only by the phoSphOresence of
the sea, which tonight displays eX-
traOrdinary radiance.
Our wake is a great, broad, seething
river of fire, whittier than strong moon
light; the glow is bright enough to read
by. At its center the trail is brightest;
at the edges it paleS clOudily, curling
sharp lights burst up mOmentarily
through it like meteorS. Weirder, how
ever, than this wake of strange light
are the long, slow fires that keep burn
ing about us, at a distance. out
in the dark. Nebulous mean
descences arise, change form and
pass; Serpentine forms wrig-
gle by: then there are long, billOwing
crestS of fire. These seem to be formed
of millions of tiny sparks that light up
all at the same time, glow brightly a
while, disappear, reappear and swirl
away in prolonged smoldering.
Morning: Steaming still south,
through vast blue day. Deep azure
heaven, with bluish-white glow in the
horizon; indigo sea.
Then again night, all luminous and
very calm. The Southern Cross burns
Whitley. We are nearing the enormous
shadows of the South American coast.
Morning. The light of an orange-col-
ored sun Eliminates, not blue, but a
greenish-yellow, sickly sea-thick, foul,
CLASSY smooth. We are in the shadows.
livan TO-,
hour: "And halI four, Sirl" Quar-
ter less five. STRIP There is little varia-
ton in his soundings-always a quarter
of fathOm or halt a fathOm difference.
The air has Sickly heavinesS, like the
air above swamp.
And blue sky! The water green
shows olive and brOwniSh tones alter
nately; the foam looks viscous and
yellow; our wake is Ochre cOlOred, very
yellow and very shiny looking. 1t
seems unnatural that blue sky should
hang over so hideOuS a waste of water /;
it seems to demand a gray, blind sky,
such gray and such green being the
cOlors of a freSh-water inundatiOn.
We are only five or six degrees north of
the equator. Very low the land lies
before us; thin, dark green line, Sug-
costing marshineSS, miaSma, pa ludal
OdOrs; and always the nauseOus color
of the water deepenS.
Even this same CHASTITY food washes
the great penal colony of Cayenne.
There. when convict dies, the body is
borne to the sea, and a great bell is
tOlled. And then is the viscOus, glaucous
sea surface furrOwed suddenly by fins
innumerable, swart, sharp, triangular
the legion of the sharks rushing to the
hideous funeral. They know the bell.

Why the Train Ran Slow.

A man was one day making trip on a
"miXed train" on Dakota road, says
the Texas Siftings. Passage on these
trains is never taken except for Jour-
neys of considerable length; walking is
as easy and much faster for short dis
tances. On this occasion the movement
was even more deliberate than usual,
and the passenger called the conductor
to his seat and said:
''ISn't this motion pretty SlOW?'
"Well, we amt flying, Fu admit
that"
"Sure everything is all right?''
81 think So"
"Wheels all greased?"
Eyes, creased them myself"
"TireS all On?"
Eyes. We run through the creek
back here and soaked up the wheels so
they would stay"
ANY spokes loose?"
"No."
''YOu are certain the wheels are all on
the rails?"
'.They was when | come in"
Couldn't be possible that any of them
are off the axle dragging, could it?''
Il guess not"
'.Are we going up hill?"
mo, this is pretty middlin' level"
$40 you always run at this gait?''
mo, we generally hump along a
little faster'n this"
MAY l ask what is the trouble. then?"
Certainly. We found a two-year-old
steer stuck in a treste back here before
you got on, and stopped and helped it
out. You know the rules Of the road
are that in such cases the animal belongs
to the company"
"But l don't see why that should
make you run so laundering Slow"
"Why, you blame fool, we're takin'
that steer along to headquarters; got it
tied on behind, and it amt used to
leadin' and don't walk up very well.
Pm doin' all can; got the brakeman
prodding it up with an umbrella and
an ear of corn tied to the bell-rope. If
you think Pm goin' to start up an go
howlin' along and yank the horn off as
good steer as there is in the territory,
why, you're mistaken, that's all. Us
train men can't expect our pay unless
we bring in some stock once in Whlle."

I "By Jove, that girl in the middle is
the one for me-" said the young man
with the extremely short fall overcoat,
as he leaned upon his cane, and thrust
ing his hand carelessly into the pocket
of his elaborate checked pants,
ratified a few coins. They had been
supplied him but a few moments be-
fore by the trusted old boOkkeeper of
his fathers mammoth mercantile house,
who, with a sigh for the degeneracy of
the age, placed opposite the name of the
son and heir a sum greater than that
earned in months hard work by more
than one employee of the house.
THAT tall one on the inside Is my
style exactly" drawled tall and cadav-
erOuS-lOOking young man, who stood by
the side of the first speaker. His. single
claim to recognition in the set in which
he moved was traceable to the fact that
he possessed certain ostrich-like ca
pacity for secreting about various por-
tons of his anatomy an unusual amount
of liquid refreShment. Aided by a
natural dizziness of brain and feebleness
of imagination, he was seemingly I'M
able to become thanked" and in the re-
mainder of his set could, and on ecca-
sion would, put to bed a score of his
fellows. After lighting another cigar
cite he would go home as dull, stupid
and devoid of sentiment as any early
market wagon which he frequently en-
cOuntered during his prolonged noctur-
nal rambles.
Lets follow them," calculated the
third of the party, dapper little fellow
whose instinct at once detected pros
pect of sharing a substantial benefit
from a possible supper at the expense

the back was worn almost
as sharp as a raZor's edge. After wait
ing some time the old man approached
me with towel in his hand. He jerked
my head over the back of the chair, al

tucked the rag under my neck. Then
he commenced to lather me with brush

been mute. He quickly turned to the

though he was proud of it. Then,
pinchiDg my nose, he tipped my head
back and began his deadly work on my
neck. 1t was all over in less than it

that the shave was clean one, for he

proven to be, was but relative; for a mo-
ment thereafter a trio of elaborately
dressed women, whose carriage was the
perfection of womanly grace and whose
toilets were incompatible, passed by
with look of scOrn upon their faces
for their unfortunate sisters.
But in the eyes of each of these three
whose good breeding was but too
manifest, whose toilets were but a
shade too fashionable, and whose de-
mure looks were seemingly too genuine
not to noticeably contrast with their
conspicuous appearance-was seen that
cold metallic glare which invariably
denotes that the owner has lost that in
effable charm of virtue, and that the
light of love warmed into existence by a
stainless life has been supplanted by a
life of recklessly discreet abandon.
Three well-dresSed men, who were
leisurely sauntering along upon the
sunny side of the street, and comment
ing in language more fOrcible than
polite upon the half-holiday appearance
of the pedestrians, noted the trio of
Striking-loOking women upon the OPP

preSSive admiration. After running
over their fine points with the vOlu-
bility of horse auctiOneer, they turned

MONOPOLY'S LAY.
CHAMPAIGN Nl.l Times.

Qll.) Times.
Ho, all We Western savages,
Who live on corn and pork,
Come up and buy our Yankee goods,
And keep our mill at work.
Come up-we'Ve got the tariff fixed,
You can't buy any cheaper,
Monopoly rules the land,
And we're its conscience keeper.
Your Western corn and pork and rye
Are irst-rate things TO tax on,
And so we lay the duties high,
Your broad and burly backs on.
You like it, too; your Western men
In congress, house and senate,
Stand ready by to vote the tax
AS fast as we can pen 1t.
We tax your coal, we tax your hat,
We lax your bread and butter;
We tax your shoes and socks, your shirt
And don't you dare TO mutter.
And while we bind you round and round
With strong and triple ties,
The tax on wool we deity pull
Across your sleepy eyes.
But we're not at all ungrateful
We would have you know,
Well take the tax from some things
Which bear down on you so.
When HARRISON is elected
You'll receive the news with glee-
We'll take the tax from tobacco
And make your whisky free.

months been the acme of his ambition:
Being always in good humor and
naturally bright and witty, his count
less friends not only overlooked the
fact that he never reciprOcated favOrS,
but forgot that none Of them knew ex-
actly where his home was or what was
his nominal occupation.
Acting in accordance with this sug-
geStion, the trio crossed the street,
passed swiftly up Wabasha, and turn
ing down Fifth street, overlook the oD-
jects of their pursuit within the classic
shades of the district court. Walking
swiftly by with half-turned heads, and
suggestive but not over-contident smiles,
the cavaliers made detOur, and came
face to face with their fasclnators..
There was hurried raising of hats, and
after very brief moment OF hesitation
OH the part of the entire SeXtette, the
incidental pairing off was quickly con-
summated, and three separate couples,
with smiles of anticipation upon their
faces, made their way towards the near

copious draughts of the vintage of the

TO THE CUCUMBER.

The cucumber graceth the festive board
Enshrouded in condiment rare,
And the epicure gleefully rubbeth his paunch
AT the sight OF the treasure there.
The doctor smileth sad-like smile,
And giveth a crocodile groan,
And the marble man goeth out the while
And polisheth up stone.
The undertaken mournfully asks,
What will his measure bef''
And the sexton marketh spot reserved
All under the willow tree.
IT'S hard the times and It's scarce the cash
And so with zestful joy
We welcome watt to the fitful fruit
That giveth the folk employ.
