CHAPTER XVIII.

WE TALK OVER OUR SITUATION
 That night, as afterward, Tassard occupied the berth that he was used to sleep in before he was frozen. Although had not then the least fear that he would attempt any malig- nant tricks with me while we remained in this posture, the feeling that he lay in the berth but one next mine made me uneasy in spite of my reasoning; and was so nervous as to silently shoot a great iron bolt, so that it would have been impossible to enter with out beating the door in.
 In sober truth, the sight of the treasure had put sort of fever into my imagination of the heat and effects of which was not com pletely sensible until was alone in my cabin and swinging ill the darkness That the value of what had seen came to ninety or hun dred thousand pounds of our money, I could not doubt; and will not deny that my fancy was greatly excited by thinking of it. But there was something else Suppose we should have the happiness to escape with this treas ure, then l was perfectly certain the French man would come between me and my share of it. This apprehension threading my heated thoughts of the gold and silver kept me restless during the greater part of the night, and I also held my brains on the stretch with devices for saving ourselves and the treasure; yet could not satisfy my mind that anything was to be done unless nature herself assisted us in freeing the schooner.
 However, as it happened, the gale roared for a whole week, and the cold was so fright full and the air so charged with spray and hail that we were forced to lie close below with the matches on for our lives.

THE WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT MONDAY APRIL Isss


 The next chest he opened was filled with Jewelry of various kinds-the fruits, dare say, of dozen pillages; for not only had this pirate robbed honest traders, but plca- room as well, that had also plundered in her turn another of her own kidney; so that, as say, this chest of jewelry might represent the property of the passengers of as many as dozen vessels. It was as if the contents of the shop of jeweler, who was at once gold smith and silversmith, had been emptied into this chest. You could scarce name an ornament that was not here-watches, snuff boxes, buckles, bracelets, bounce poxes, vinai- grettes, ear rings, crucifixes, stars for the hair, necklaces-but the list grows tiresome; in silver and gold, but chiefly in gold-all shot together and lying scramble fashion, as if they had been potatoes.
 l was thunderstruck, as you will suppose, by the sight of all this treasure, and looked and stared like fool-as if was in a dream. l had never seen so many fine things before, and indulged in the most cxtravagant fancies of their worth. Here and there in the gilt tering huddle my eye lighted on an object that was 100, perhaps POO, years old-a cup very choicely wrought, that may have been in family for several generations; watch of a curious figure, and the like. There
 
 trunks, and portmanteaus of 100 opulent men and women in this chest; and, so far as could judge from what lay atop, the people piundered represented several nationalities.
 But there were other chests and cases to explore-ten in all; two of these were filled with silver money, third with plate, a fourth with English, French, Spanish and Portuguese coins in gold; but the one over which Tassard hung longest in a transport that held him dumb was the smallest of all, and this was packed with gold in bars. The stuff had the appearance of moldy yellow soap, and having no sparkle nor variety did not affect me as the jewelry had, though in value this chest came near to being worth as much as all the others put together. The fixed, transported posture of the pirate-his little shin ing eyes intent upon the bars, his form in the candle light looking like sketch of a strange, wildly appareled man done in phosphorus, coupled with the loom of the black chests, the sense of our desolation, the folly of our enjoyment of the sight of the treasure in the face of our pitiable and dismal plight, the melancholy storming of the wind, moaning like the rumble of thunder heard in vault, and above all the feeling of unreality inspired by the thought of my companion having lain for eight-and-forty years as good as dead combined to render the scene so startingly impressive that it remains at this hour painted as vividly upon the eye of memory as if had come from it five minutes ago.
 ESQ.," cried the Frenchman, suddenly, slamming the lid of the chest ''tis all herel Now, then, to the business of considering how to come off with it."
 He thrust the keys in his pocket, and we returned to the cook room.

CHAPTER XIX.

WE TAKE X VIEW OF THE ICE.
 For seven days ohe gale ragged with uncom- mon violence; it then broke, and this brought us into the first week in August The wind fell in the night, and I was awakened by the silence, which you will not think strange if you consider how used were my ears to the fierce seething and strong believing of the blast. lay listening, believing that it had only veered and that it would come on again in gusts and guns; but the stiffness con- tinued, and there were no sounds whatever save the noises of the ice, which broke upon the ear like slow answers from batteries near and distant, half whose cannon have been silenced.
 I slept again, and when I awoke it was 7:3O o'clock in the morning. The French man was snoring Justify. I went on deck before entering the cook house, and had like to have been blinded by the astonishing brilliance of the sunshine upon the ice and snow. All tho wind was gone. The air was exquisitely frosty and sharp. But there was heavy sound coming from the sea which gaveme to expect the sight of strong swell. The sky was Q clear blue, and there was no cloud on as much of it's face as showed be- twixt the brows of the slopes
 My attention was quickly attracted by the appearance of the starboard cliff over against our quarter. The whole shoulder of it had broken away, and I could just catch view of the horizon of the sea from the deck by stretching my figure. The sight of the ocean showed me that the breakage had been pro- digious, for to have come at that prospect before I should have had to climb to the height of the main lower masthead. No other marked or noteworthy change did de- tect from the deck; but on stepping to the larboard side to peer over spied split in the ice that reached from the very margin of the ravine-I mean to that end of it where it terminated in cliff-to and past the bows of the schooner by at least four times her own | length.
 returned to the cook room and went about the old business of lighting the fire and pre- pairing the breakfast-this job, by an under standing between the Frenchman and me. falling to him who was first out of bed-and 1 in about twenty minutes Tassard arrived. "The wind is gone," said he. "Yes," I replied; Git is bright, still morn l ing. have been on deck. There has been great fall of ice close to-
 .Does it block usg'
 l "No; on the contrary, it clears the way to 1 the sea; the ocean is now visible from the deck. Not tAHt it mends our case,n added
 ssBut there is great rent in the ice that puts i fancy into my head; I'll speak of it later, l after closer look"

An Unconstitutional Bill.
Ex-JUsrIoE srRoNG's OPINION OF SENATOR
BLAIR's SCHEME.

Ex-Justice William Strong, of the
United States supreme court, now on
the retired list, is delivering his usual
winter course of lectures on the consti-
tuition before the Columbian law school.
The lecture for Tuesday night last was
on the fret clause of the section s,
artlc /: "The Congress shall have
power to lay aud collect taxes, duties,
imports and excises, to pay the debts
and provide for common defense and
general welfare of the United States. y
In the course of his remarks the ex.
justice was asked by a student if, in
his opinion, the Blair educational bill
was constitutional. His reply was:
do not see how it car be constitu
tional. 1t is my opinion that tina,
measure was unconstitutional, but il
was in reply To question and not as 9
part OF my lecture. ! had no intention
or thought that my remarks would be

Somebody's Darling.
A SENATOR'S WIFE WHO MAKES HER
LORD SLIGHTLY RIDICULOUS.

WASHINGTON. January PA good
DIAL of amusement is furnished this
winter by the wife of a certain Senator,
who always calls her husband "Dar-
ling" He isn't such one as the term
would ordinarily applied to, being big
and burly and not very nice about his
person, but she seems to think it is q
pretty pet name, and USES the term OF
endearment on all occasions. Whether
she is addressing him in private or
public, or whether she speaks of him
to othrrs, she always says Darling"
AID does it so frequently that when
Darling is referred to now every
body knows who is meant.
Darling has such bad cold" she
said to another Senator's wife the other
day, that am going to put him to
bed when he comes home"
Darling went to the Capitol early
this morning." she remarked to another,
ITO attend one Of those horrid commit
tee meetings. What dreadful things
they are l positively hate them.
Why, Darling says that if it wasn't for
his COMMITTEE wo k he could spend lots
of time with me-"
The other Senators have scaught
on,' 30 to speak, and now seldom al.
lude to their colleague by any other
t-rm-in his absence only, Of course.
On. Senator came very near making q
bluuder the other day by using it at
the wrong time. He entered the com
mittee room little late, and as he took
off his coat and gloves looked around
the table, at which half a dozen or
more Senators were seated, and asked
where's Darlingi"
There were some frantic gestures
toward bookcase at the other end OF
the room and the late conner blushed
deeply aud looked alarmed. Darling
was behind map-rack, where he
could not be seen, and if he overheard
the remark he showed no sign.
