pected the shock. We were upon the point of rushing on deck when our ears were gladdened by . shout that we knew came from American throats, followed by a scrambling on deck, and when we ventured to peep above the hatch, what was our Joy to find the ship deserted. Not 6 moment too soon had our deliverAnce come, for less than 6 hundred yards off a line of white breakers was to be seen. Springing to the wheel I quickly put the ship about, and as she lay to our boats came alongside, the men came aboard, and we were safe.
 The cause of the long absence of the boats was that a large school of whales had been raised, and every boat had made fast to one of the leviathans It was a great catch, and 6 few more such would give us a full cargo. However, while we remained in the vicinity of New Guinea, the captain never allowed more than two boats to chase the monsters.
 When. three years later, we arrived at New Bedford, l was entirely satis- fled with the experience l had had in oil hunting, and, although urged to reship as second mate, declined the honor, and am now a sober lAndsman, with little desire for sea adventures.

IN THE DARK.
BY ARTHUR STEVENS.

When kissed her one night in the hallway Twas so dark that nothing was plain; And. not being sure that I'd kissed her, Why, twas right should kiss her again. There was darkness on everything round us: L. vas reaching fin valn for the door, And the while was seeking an exit It so happened kissed her some mere. And wasn't quite sure as left her ta Aether she liked it or not, Rut know that sighed to get back there The farther away that got. And the next tinne called it sO happened That we stood in that hallway once mOe. And the gaSlight fell over and round Us As quietly moved to the door. But her red cheeks So rOgniShly dimpled And her eyes ShOne so wickedly bright, That | guessed wkere her thoughts were
 astraying.

Couldn't Suit Him.

Oscar Wilde declared that he was disappointed in the Atlantic ocean. Some people are never satisfied with anything. We strongly suspect that the following character described by the New York Sun, was just such a sort of man:
 It got noised around the hotel that an old man living out In the country twelve miles had come in to sec Mag ara Falls for the first time, although living near 1t for over forty years. He had to come in on the train with his son, and & number of us followed them into Prospect park to hear the old mans impressions. As they walked he queried:
 "Jim, have ye bin lyin' to me2"
 "No, father" replied the boy, "the falls are right ahead of us"
 "All right, Jim. Don't try 10 pass no groove off on me for falls, you know, for I won't stand 1t. Whats that roaring, Jim?"
 "The cataract, father"
 "Don't ye lie! If it's the cataract, all right. If it's machinery, Pll vol lop ye fur lyin'!"
 He was led down to the point, and for a minute or so he was speeches.. Then he turned and queried:
 "Is 1t real water, Jim2"
 "Yes, father"
 "Don't lie to me, Jim. If find it's 6 panoramy or a made-up thing, it'll be the wuss fur vel"
 "Isn't 1t grand, father1"
 "Sorter but 'taint no nine hundred feet high"
 "Oh, no, of course not"
 "'Taint five miles across, either"
 "No, it isn't"
 "The water simply comes down here and falls over."
 "Yes, father; but 1t is the greatest cataract in the world"
 "Look out, Jiml Pm an old man, but I don't take lies from nobody. Is the water salt?"
 "Oh, mo-"
 at hAin'tl Jim, you've allus led me to believe 1t was, and I'll be hanged if stand 1t! Where's the whiripool?"
 That's below here."
 Cne IS, enG Then you've ueCclVou me ag'ini You made me believe 1t was right here. Jim, we're goin' hum."
 "But we just got here!"
 "Makes no difference. Pve been lied to and deceived, and won't stand it. There hain't half the water nor half the roarin'. you said there was, and the water hain't salt. Jim, we're goin' home. When we git thar Pll Lsk ye to come out behind the house and peel off for a lickin'. thought I'd brought ye up right, but haven't. Pve got to give ye 6 whalin'w
 And the pair turned away and left the park and took a carriage for the depot to wait for the train.

wha, the M,llionaires Gave.

New York Letter to Phila ielphia Press.
 We'll, and how much have the mill- ionaires contributed in aid of the Johnstown sufferers and for the alle- viation of Johnstown suffering2 Some thing like $600,000 have been con- tributed by New York, and 1t becomes rather an interesting matter to analyze the list of contributors and find out what portion of that amount had come from the millionaires who could best afford 1t. Have any of them opened their strong boxes and over- turned their coffers and said prac- tically: "Here, 1t doesn't make very much difference how much we con- tribute. We can't possibly miss it. The occasion is & big one-let us give something worthy the occasion" Have they done anything of this kind2 Not to any alarming extent. What has Jay Gould done2 or George Gould, or Russell Sage, or c. P. Huntington, or Mrs. Hetty Green, or other millionaires who are in the fore- front of Wall street life1 Any one of these could throw 6 million i've dollar gold pieces into New York bay, or spill them into the depths of the Dead sea, and go on living their lives pre- cisely as they are living them now. They would still be able to get the same number of meals every day, buy the same number of suits of clothes, live in the same houses and drive the same horses and pay for all the luxu- ries of mundane existence just as they are paying, or not paying, for them now. It might relieve them of some worry, because they wouldn't have to bother about finding suitable invest ments for this extra money, but 1t could not affect them in any other way or deprive their families of one solitary enjoyment or advantage which they now possess. Has any one of them given the five million dollars they wouldn't miss, or the one million, or the $500, ,000, or the $50, ,000, or the $l0,O0O?
 The published contributions answer this question and answer 1t in the negative. Mir. Gould gives $l ,000. MT. Sage hasn't been heard of at all, although 1t is understood that he made some additions to the stock exchange fund. Out of her $40, ,000,- 900 Mrs. Hetty Green has given noth- ing up to last accounts. c. F. Hunt ington and George Gould may have contributed in some indirect way, but the public certainly hasn't heard of it.

TUSsLE WITH cANNIBALS.
J. Alden TAber, in Boston Globe.

rom MY eArlleSl HleflOEy was always oM the lookout for adventure, and many were the narrow escapes I had from broken bones, or worse, indulging this propensity.
 It was this desire to try some new experience that led, or rather impelled me, to ship on board 8 whaler. This was when 1 was about twenty-three years old. My home was in Spring field, and had been transacting some business for my father in New Bed ford. It was years ago, when New Bedford was rightly named the whal- ing city, and two-thirds of the whal- ing fleet hailed from that port.
 But to come to my story. l had finished my fathers commission, and was wandering aimlessly along the wharves, when I met and got into conversation with & tar who might without dispute have claimed to be brother of old Neptune himself. He spun yarns Of adventure that capti- vated my fancy and sent the ardent blood coursing through my veins. He proved to be the mate of the "Sea Rover,"s fne- looking ship lying at the wharf near by. When l learned that she was to sail that day for the southern Pacific, and also that one of her green hands had deserted, it took but a few moments to decide that I would take that green hands place, and but few moments more to enroll my Dame on her crew list.
 After had recovered from & ter rible sea- sickness and had become rec onciled to the limited fare of the ship -"salt horse" "dunderfunk," "hard- tack" and ropy water, l quite enjoyed the life on the sea.
 We had been out four months with out raising 8 whale, and my friend, the mate, had told nae that must be a Jonah, when one morning the well come cry of "There she blows" came down from the masthead. The ship was laid to, and soon all the boats were lowered, and the cook, cabin boy and myself were left to "keep ship" We watched the flying boats as the sailors bent to their oars, and there was at least one longing pair of eyes IOlOW1uk LuclE course. superstition Is strong among whslemen, and the hint that was, perhaps, the cause of all previous i'll success kept me from being among the blubber hunters.
 We were about two miles from the island of New Guinea, or Papua, where the people in those days rather hankered after roasted white man, but, as many whaling vessels visited them, they hardly dared practice their cannibalistic propensities, so we felt little if any fear from that source. The ships boats were soon lost sight of as they drew behind the land, and we busted ourselves in various ways to pass the time away.
 Some six hours passed, and the cook began to grow uneasy at the long absence of the men, fearing some accident had befallen them.
 Two hours more passed, and still no signs of the boats. was coiling a rope near the mizzenmast, when 1 heard the cook exclaim: "Well, foh de Lords sakel" Thinking he had sighted the boats, went to his side and looked in the direction of the islands. The sight that met my gaze was not pleasing one, and confess to cold chill creeping up my spine.

 sunlight, while their bushy heads gave them hideous appearance.
 "What does this mean?" l asked.
 Dis chile fraid he mean trubble," l" answered the cook. "Sumfn done happen to de boats, am de rascals know we heah, an dey mean ter take vantage ob it."
 "You don't think they will hurt us, do your" asked the cabin boy, and his face grew pale.
 "Don't know. Cain't count on what dem debbles will do. We got to hustle 'roun' lively anyway, an git ready fer 'em."
 Under the cooks direction we pre- pared the matches so they could be secured firmly from the inside, and after collecting all the available muni- tions of war we awaited their near approach with what composure we could.
 When within speaking distance, the cook, who could talk the lingo after a fashion, asked them what they wanted. They said they wanted tobacco, and that they had fruit to exchange for it. As the bottom of each canoe could be plainly seen, and no fruit was in sight, we were forced to think that the visit was hostile one, especially as each native carried lance and the cook ordered them to come no nearer. Two of the canoes kept on, however, and as they paid no heed to the order, we pointed our guns at them, and when within a few yards the cook whispered, "Fire !" and we fired. Our pieces were loaded with duckshOt, and at such short range could not but prove effective. Four men in the nearest canoe fell into the water, and two from the other, while it was evident that & number were quite badly wounded. The canoes quickly returned and joined those that had stayed behind. Wild gesticulations and loud jabbering followed, which soon quieted down, and in 8 short time the entire fleet was headed for the ship. We did not wait for them to come very near before we blazed away at them. We emptied all our pieces, of which we had a dozen, and had the pleasure of seeing quite a number of our enemies fall into the sea but, as no time was allowed to reload, the guns were useless by the time the canoes had come alongside. But we had other s-spades, lances and harpoons, all sharp as razors, which we had brought from below-and these were hurled with frantic strength. They did good ser- vice, and many were killed or disabled, but their numbers were too many for us, ana soon there was 8 score of black heads looking over the rail of the ship.
 Each taking a lance, we rushed for the matches, and hastily slipping through them, made things fast on the inside and felt safe for & time, at least, hoping that our men would arrive in season to relieve us. The black rascals could be heard moving around the deck, and 1t was not long before they commenced to pry open the matches. After what seemed hours to us, their persistent work began to have effect, and we knew that another hid 'ng place must be secured. The cook had plan ready, however, and as the matches gave way, by his direc- tion we concealed ourselves in some empty oil casks in dark corner of the hold and awaited developments. The blacks were unable to locate us, and when we were confident that they had returned to the deck we crawled out from our uncomfortable quarters.
 But now 6 danger that we had not
