us was puzzle, but nothing was done
the companion were burst in, and the
men encouraged each other to attack
the cabin door. Each hung back, how
ever. as there was bit of entry at the
foot of the stairs, with a turn to the
right to reach the door. On account of
this they could not bring beam to
bear, nor could more than one man work
at time. Realizing their disadvan-
tage, and wishing to come at their end
the safest way, they were ready to
make any promise to bring the captain
out. He defied them, and thus two
days and two nights passed.
The brig had meanwhile, been making
good speed to the east, and we now
heard the men growing because the ISL
and had not been sighted On the fore
noon of the third day there were several
violent quarrels among them, and in one
of these the second mate was stabbed to
death and his body flung overheard
The captain had treated me very kind
ly, and we had not suffered for food or
drink, there being full cooler of water
in the cabin when the row began. He
had crackers, sardines and other fine
provisions in his own pantry, and while
i stood watch three hours he stood six.
He said the end would be that both of
us would be killed, and he was impa-
tient for the mutineers to begin their
work so that he might get a shot at
them. On this third day Bristol Bob
stood on the port quarter, while har-
arguing us through the skylight, and
the captain located him, brought his
musket to bear, and shot him dead. We
knew this from what was said on deck.
Half an hour later, as we heard one of
them at the cabin door, the captain
made ready to fire a bullet through it,
and, by some carelessness, discharged
the weapon prematurely and received
the ball in his throat, and he died in
five minutes. l was so overcome that
hid away in his stateroom, and the mu-
tineers no longer had any one to resist
them. The first thing l knew it was
night, and it was SO very quiet that
knew there could be no wind outside.
crept out into the cabin, but every thing
remained as had left it. For two hours
listened for sounds from the deck, but
heard nothing from the mutineers, and
finally fell asleep 1t twas morning when
l was aroused, and then by men drop
ping into the cabin through the sky
light. They belonged to the Scotch
whaler Bruce, which was lying near by,
and which had had US in view ever since
daylight. The mutineers had taken the
long boat and abandoned the brig, which
was driving at her own sweet will, and
to this day not one of the men has ever
been heard of. No doubt they met with
some accident by which all persisted at
sea.-N. Y. Sun.

The influence of the Voice.

Probably no one can ever fully esti-
mate how much influence he is con-
stantly exerting through his tones of
voice. Nothing is so powerful to cheer
the dropping energies of discouraged
group as the inspiring tones of hope in
the words of new arrival. Who has
not seen the immediate effect of glad
and sprightly voice breaking in upon
dull and uninterested party of people?
How their eyes brighten, and their
brows clear, and their forms become
erect! On the other hand, let solemn,
or doleful, or fretful voice break in on
gay and cheerful company, and how
quickly the smile dies on the lip, and
the depressing influence goes round!
The infant who can not understand
word that his mother says is soothed and
pleased, or grieved and frightened by
her tones, and the seeds thus sown of
love and gentleness, or of harshness and
Impotence, are sure to bear fruit in his
later development, and exert a strong
influence in mellowing his future char
acter, and preparing it to contend the
better with the roughness of the world

USE OF KEROSENE.
The Many Ways in Which Housekeepers

The Many Ways in Which Housekeepers
Can Utilize It.
Marks on tables caused by hou dishes
may be removed by kerosene rubbed in
well with soft cloth, finishing with a
little cologne water, rubbed dry with an
other cloth.
When giving the final polish to stoves,
before putting away for the summer,
mix the backing with a little kerosene
instead of water, to prevent rust.
Tarnished paint may be cleaned by
rubbing with cloth wet with kerosene.
Black walnut or any wood finished in
oil may be kept bright by polishing with
kerosene.
Pour a teaspoonful of kerosene into
each quart of boiled starch, for a gloss;
this will also prevent irons sticking to
thin goods.
Kerosene will brighten silver.
Rub lamp chimneys with newspaper
On which has been poured little kero-
sene. This will mako them much clear
er than if soap is used; they will also be
less liable to crack.
To remove rust from steel, rub with
kerosene, and soak for day, polishing
with emery dust and kerosene.
Rub rusty fiat-irons with kerosene.
Kerosene will soften boots and shoes
hardened by water, and render them as
pliable as now.
Brighten zinc with kerosene.
A tablespoonful of kerosene in a boil
or of clothes will greatly facilitate the
rubbing.
Iron and polished steel, when not in
use, may be kept from rusting by wiping
with cloth on which little kerosene
has been poured.
Oil-cloth may be frightened by rub
bling with kerosene,
All soiled spots found around door
knobs on light-painted doors, may be
removed by kerosene on flannel cloth,
with no injury to the paint.
Kerosene poured on red-fannel and
bound on the throat, viii greatly ease a
sore throat. 1t will also heal cuts and
cure chilblains.--Ray Joyce, in Good
Housekeeping.

CALLING BY PROXY.
Some of the Irregularities of Society Ii
at

Some of the Irregularities of Society Life
at Washington.
Very little of the paying of visits by
people in high official life is done in
person. The President makes no calls
The Vice-President does all his cali
ing" through his private secretary,
whose chief duty it is to ride around in
coupe and leave the cards of Mr.. and
Mrs. Morton at the doors of houses
where calls are due. The members of
the Cabinet do most of their calling"
by mail. The men whose duty it is
to do this proxy" calling, 1 am in
formed, have any thing but an easy
time. Riding about in q carriage all
day is an attractive occupation when
viewed from distance. 1t loses many
of its charms when it is practised day
after day, and nearly all of its attract
iveneSs when it is interspersed by con-
slant stoppages along the route Of travel.
Some of these deputy Cabinet officers
make fifty and seventy-ive calls day.
They have many amusing encounters,
for they visit all parts of the city and
pay their respects, or rather the respects
Of their superiors, to people of all classes
and conditions. The receptions of the
members Of the Cabinet are open to all
corners, and all sorts of people make
the rounds Wednesdays 1t is a social
obligation to which all people in high
official life must conform to return all
of the calls that are made upon them.
So the deputy secretaries spin around
the city all day, driving from cottage to
palace, distributing graceful bits of
pasteboard, which the recipients may
place on their center tables as mute evil
dence to the uninitiated that the Secre-
tary of - has called upon them. At
the houses where receiving" has been
thoroughly systematized, the colored
man at the door gracefully holds out his
salver to receive the cards, and watches
the rapid escape of the csrd-bearer with
out surprise or comment. At other
homes when the coupe stops at the door
there are evidences of preparation for
the reception going on within. Chill
dren peep out of the window and run
back with the evident intention of tell
ing mamma" that somebody is about to
call. The seryitor throWs wide the
door to admit the expected guest. Then
there Is a sudden pail thrown over the
expectant community by the bland aH=
nouncement of the young man with the
card case that he will not come In; and,
as the door-kecper accepts the cards In .
rather doubtful way, three pairs of eyes
follow the young man in his progress to
the coupe, and watch it as it whirls
down the street. At some of the lowlier
dwellings it Is necessary 70 push the
cards under the door and fee before the
bell is answered for fear that the am
