HE WAS ONCE A PIRATE.


MI. BAYARD APPOINTS A CONSUL WHO
AT ONE TINE GAVE AID TO THE CON
FEDERATE sENMES.
Cleveland Letter in New FORK Mail and Express.
Thomas T. Tunstall, of Mobile, Ala,
who by the Presidents nomination and
the confirmation of the United States
Senate has been appointed United States
Consul to San Salvador. has an interest
ing history He came near being exc
cuted during the war as pirate, and
for many months languished in prison
for having assisted the pirate SemmeS,
of the Alabama. Hoa. Jesse IL. Mac
Math, of this city, who was. during the
war, Consul at Morocco, knew Tunstall
well.
Mr. MacMlth SAYS. in a letter recent
ly written. that Tunstal was removed as
Coasal at Cadiz because of his Southern
sympathies. and then waited in Spain
for something to turn up. He adds:
At this time the rebel privateer Sum
ter, commanded by SemmeS, of Ala.
who was afterward Captain of the Ala
bama, was cruising in the Mediterranean
and on the East Atlantic Ocean, com
mitting denredations on unoffending
American merchantmen. with her rem
devious in the Bay of Gibraltar. In
February, 1862, the Sumter put into the
bay in need of coal to continue her
career of destruction. The day preced-
ing and in full view OF Gibraltar the
Sumter had destroyed the American brig
Neopolitan, within the maratime zone
of the dominions of the Moorish Sultan.
Semmes requested permission OF the
Governor of the fortress TO take on suf-
ficient coal to continue the cruise. This
was refused in view of what had takan
place the day before. ThereupOn Semmes
sent Paymaster Myers, an eX-ofiicer Of
the navy, and Mr.. Tunstall, to Cadiz,
Spain, to procure coal. Tunstall, ever
ready 20 assist the rebels and being well
acquainted with the Spanish officers,
was necessary aid to Myers. They
went on board French steamer which
touched at Tangiar, Morocco, en- rOnte to
Cadiz. They landed at Tangier to see
the curious old city, and our Consul
General, learning Of their presence, i'm
mediately arrested and put them in the
American consular prison and in irons.
They were transferred 10 an American
vessel and landed at Fort Warren, of
Boston. After some months Myers was
exchanged for an officer of equal rank,
and Secretary Stanton gaye Tunstall the
option of remaining IL prison during the
war or leaving the country. He chose
the latter, and until the fall of the Con
federacy remained in Europe. Mr.. Tun-
stall is an accomplished and scholarly
man.

after failing in several instances to pro-
cure the necessary license to wed.
1t was their intention when leaving
Monday to go to Pennsylvania to be mar

his youth would prevent their marriage.
they left the train at Whee,ing and went
to Beliaire, where they stopped at the
Globe Hotel, not registering as man and
wife. Tuesday they uGdectook to get a
license at Beliaire: then going to Wheel
ing they met the same difficulty.

His advice was not needed. They be-
ing about out OF money went to the rel
atives above mentioned. and have since
remained there. The father of the boy
received letter today asking lis permis-
sion to get married. but was refused.
The excitement in this community has
not subsidized, and the many unfounded
rumors going about have caused the sen
sation to assume undue proportions
The families Of the parties are broken
hearted over the affair, and well may be
if they have heard all the runorS.

SELDOM WHAT THEY SEEM.

This is sort OF topsy-turvy world.
No one seems to be satisfied. One man
is struggling to get justice and another
is flying from it.
One man is ordered to eat eggs be
cause they are nutritious, and another is
cautioned to leave them alone because
they produce bile.
Robinson takes sherry TO give him
al appetite, while Brown, who has a
wine cellar, can't touch drop on ac-
count of his apoplectic tendencies.
The prize fighter reforms and becomes
a preacher, while the theological student
leaves his university to become pro-
fessional baseball pitcher.
One man keeps pistol to protect
himself against burglars, while his
neighbor doesn't kee? one for fear of
shooting some member of the house by
mistake.
One rich man wears poor clothes be-
cause he is rich and can do ANYTHING.
while poor man wears fine clothes be-
cause he is poor and wants to create the
impression that he is not.
One man escapes all the diseases that
flesh is heir to and is killed on the rail
road; another man goes through half
dozen wars without a scratch and then
dies OF whooping cough.
The laborer with ten children keeps
out of debt on $40 week, while many
an unmarried bank Official with 500
week can't get along without helping
himself to the bank funds.
Good people die and bad people live.
The man VINO is fat with health can't
get employment, and the man who is
making money hand-oyer-iist has to give
up business on account of i'll health.
You will sometimes see man plant
ing trees around his place for the shade;
and, at the same time, YOU will see an
other cutting down all the trees around
his house because they produce too much
moisture.

BUYING VOTES WITH PENSIONS.

BUYING VOTES WITH PENSIONS.
Cleveland Leader.
Total Disability Black, the Democrat
ic boss of the Pension Bureau, was Civ
en- shaking up in the House on Friday
by Mr. Henderson, OF Iowa, and it is
probable that he viii be made the sub
iect of considerable discussion during
the coming Presidential comHaign. II
is the evident intention of tie Democrat
ic administration to convert the Pension
Bureau into political machine. through
which the money appropriated for pen
sicns is to be distributed where it will do
the most good. Democratic heelerS are
to be rewarded, and attempts will be
made to bribe Republican veterans to
vote and work for the retention of the
Democratic administration in power.
Pension certificates are being issued to
persons who have never applied for them,
and in every case they are sent to Dem
Ocrats who have done work for the par
ty or TO Republicans whose influence it
is sought to purchase. Mr.. Henderson
made this charge on the floor of the
House and sustained it by proof No
less a parsonage than ex-Congressman
Morrison, of Illinois, was included in the
list Of Black benefciarjes. and he had
the manhood to return the certificate.
saving that he did not want pension,
lad never asked for one. and would not
accept one. Thousands Of Democrats
have no doubt received. these unsolicited
certificates and kept them.
When all the returns are III the rotten
ness of Blacks administration of the
pension bureau is likely to be shown up.
The Democrats four years ago could not
find words to express their Indignation
at the management of the pension bu-
reau uuder Commissioner Dudley, who
never did anything that was really open
to adverse criticism, and no sooner do
they get into power than their reform
commissioner proceeds to do just what
they had charged. but could not prove,
against Commissioner Dudley. Any
man or set of men who will use or at
tempt to use the money donated by the
