A Taoiturn Captain.

We have a treasure in the captain
of the Champlain. Ihave the impress
sion that he knows great deal and
that he must have vast amount of
knowledge stored up, because he is
niggardly with it and never voluntar-
lily squanders any. What pleasure
it is, once in awhile, to meet a taci-
turn man, after suffering from the
voluable inanities of the loquacious
bore, who interrupts your thoughts
with remarks regarding trivial things
remarks that require no comment
or answer from YOU, but that side
track or derai your train of thought
and make you wish that there were
not half so much of the English lam
guage as there is. From the dismal
background of such verbose chatter,
our captains silence stands out in
blessed relief. He confines himself to
few nautical phrases regarding sails,
and sheets and helm, that he fires at
the crew from time to time, and curt
remarks regarding objects on the wat
er or shore that he makes, not to
Murry or myself, but that he inciden-
tally drops for our benefit, if we care
to catch them. For instance, when
rounding bend in the river we come
abreast of a pile of cracked and fall
ell masonry, he says: "Old fort: Indi-
an name-built by French-took by
British" Again, as we pass wreck
near Quebec, and before we can ask
IA question, he says: English ship
West India-sugar-collission-bust. /"
He then relapses into silence so pro-
found that we can hear his corns ache
up in the forecastle.
| would rather listen to the captain
keep his mouth shut for an hour than
listen to many more cultured man
talk for a whole day. Yesterday
morning he went ashore to purchase
eggs and milk at farm house. As
he came rowing back in the tender we
observed that he was breathing hard
and had an angry look in his eye.
The other eye was closed and SUR
rounded by large swelling, so that
there was no look in it at all. His
trousers were badly torn below tho
knee, and there were scratches OH the
naked log that obtruded itself through
the rent. AS he stepped aboard he
touched his cap, pointed to his lacer-
ated trousers, and said: Dog" then
to his damaged eye and said, Man"
Log of the Champlain.

Old Uncle Peter Simmons was in
his day one of the richest Of ante bel
lum planters. He owned and worked
more than 800 slaves, and nearly all
the river bottom lands along the Oc-
mulgee river between Hawkinsville
and Macon, Ga, were tended by his
men, says the Detroit Free Press.
He was sportsman and spent the
greater portion of his time hunting
about his plantation or fishing up and
down the river. He had been born
and raised of poor parents right upon
the Indian frontier. when the Greeks
held the greater portion of Georgia,
and had lived here all his life. He
usually had negro boy along when
he hunted to carry home his game.
One day in the latter part of the
year 1885 while hunting in the swamps
about six miles below Macon, his at
tcntion was attracted by singular
noise. He hastened to the river, when
something, the like of which he bad
never seen in his life, came slowly
around the bend below him with fire
and smoke and much putting. He
jumped for his gun and climbed the
nearest popular tree. "Skin up that
ar tree, Sambo," yelled old Peter to
the little darkey. "All right, massa
what is it?' "One of them ar tariffs

He sat upon limb with rifle in hand
until the thing went out OF sight
around the next point above him 1t

the Ocmulgee as far as Macon.
