"Well, boys. it's no use." said one
of the men; che is too much for us.
Here goes mine"
And over, one after another, the
knives went into the sea. The Cap
tain discharged his pistols. An apol-
ogy was demanded from Finnigan,
who had just insulted the Captain
The ruffain said he would never ask
any mans pardon, and the Captain
dealt him blow that sent him head
long down the forecastle, in front of
which he had been standing. He was
found lying at the foot Of the ladder,
and was hauled on deck with rope
and placed in charge of a doctor. A
knife was found concealed in his
shirt, another knife was found in
Sweeney's boot, and third under
Casey's jumper. The rest of the men
were searched, but had noweapons.
Nov, men, let it be understood.
You are to jump when you are spoken
to, and instead of walking, you are to
run to obey the orders given. / will
treat you as you deserve. The last
order gave you, and which you dis
obeyed, was, Haul taut the weather
mainbrace.' now repeat it: Haul
taut the weather mainbrace?"
With one voice they called, "Aye,
aye, sirl" and ran to obey. They
hauled on that brace as if they would
spring the yard.
Delay there, men," the Captain
sang out; and then: "Boy, tell the
cook to get the mems coffee ready
Whitehorn, turn the men to holyston-
ing deck"
Finnigan came out of the doctors
hands and still refused to apologize.
He was ordered to be bucked and put
in the sweat-box. In less than half
an hour he cried mercy. He was un-
shackled and led to the quarterback.
Men," said the Captain, listen to
what your recent leader and bully has
to say. He would have led you to
murder and to the gallows."
captain" he said. 81 have had
enough. To say this does not make a
coward of man when he has found
his master"
"That won't do" said the Captain.
"You must take back your insulting
language"
"Well, then, Captain, whoever calls
you a coward is a d. liar"
"Leave out the d. You know
that swearing is prohibited, and if
there is to be any l claim the first
privilege. Now, down on your knees
and holystone."
AYE, aye, sir"
The mutiny was over, and better
crew never served a ship during the
rest of the voyage. When the men
were paid off in New York, they hung
around the dock, twirling their hats
and waiting for something. Under
standing what they wanted, the Cap
tain spoke to them, and concluded by
saying:
"When I am ready to go to sea
again, if any of you want to ship, |
shall be glad to take you"
They gave three rousing cheers for
the wild boat of the Atlantic" as
the Dreadnaught was called, and ex-
pressed their willingness to sail to the
ends of the world or to h with him.
The Captain babe them goodbye, and
with God bless you, Captain" they
left the ship.

WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
BE A WOMAN.

BE A WOMAN.
OFT I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with son on duty,
Urging him TO be man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with love words quite a. ready
Points che out the other duty,
"strive, my dear, TO be a lady"
What's ladyi Is it something
Made Of hoops. and silks, and airs,
Used TO decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs
IL Il one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human
IL tits this to be lady,
It's not this 10 be woman.
Mother. then, unto your daughter
Speak Of something higher far
Than to be mere fashions lady.
"woman ia the brightest star"
II you in your strong affection
Urge your son to be true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be woman.
Yes, a woman Brightest model
OF that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind and soul and body
Blend 10 work out life's great duty,
Be a woman, naught is higher
On the gilded crest Of time;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holisr name.

OFFICIAL VOTE OF FLORIDA.

The official returns from all the coun-
ties have been received at the Capital, and
the FLoHIDIAN to-day presents to its read
ers the first complete table of the official
vote of Florida for 1888.
There is one interesting feature about
the vote Of Florida of 1888 as
compared with the vote of 1884:
While Cleveland gains 1892, Har-
rison has 1874 less than Blaine
had in 1884, and while Fleming has 8, los
more votes than were cast for Perry,
Shipman falls 1850 below Pope's vote in
1884. Cleveland over Blaine in 1884,
1913; Cleveland over Harrison, 1901
Perry over Pope in 1884, 4,242; Flem-
ing over Shlpman, 1870. DR.. Craw-
ford received the highest vote IN 1888,
having $50 more than Fleming and 874
more than Cleveland. Lamar ran next
to Crawford, being only llS below him.
DIR. Crawford has the largest majority,
l4,476. The highest vote cast was for
Governor, 66,74O. The vote for Presi-
dent was 6c,646, "a less than for Gov
ernor. The vote for Congressman is &C.,
$40, 276 less than for President and $40
less than for Governor
For Congress-Davidson's majority in
1884 was 2,72O; in 1885, 7,lO4, in 1888,
l0,lo7. Dougherty's majority in 1884,
LIP in 1886, 1920; Bullock's in 1888,
3,195. The highest vote in 1884 was So
OLA. The vote of 1888 shows an increase
of 6,726 over the vote of 1884, while the
registration for 1888 exceeds the vote
cast in 1884 by 2s,432.
Every candidate on the Republican
State ticket runs behind the vote for
Blaine and Pope in 1884.
Alachua casts the largest Democratic
vote and Duval the largest Republican
vote.
Leon county gives the largest Demo
cratic majority, and is, therefore, the ban
ner Democratic county for 1888.
Col. Wombwel was the only Demo
crat on the State ticket TO receive a ma
jority in Monroe county.
