A CERTIFICATE OF CHARACTER.

One fellow, evidently chief, draw
ing little parcel from the innermost
recesses of his wig presented it to the
captain, eXclaiming airily, "Sydney

skipper discovered piece of paper on
which was written, with date some
six years previous, "This is to certify
that the bearer and his mates are the

master of schooner sailing out of
SYDNEY. The rest of the canoes had
clustered around again on both sides
and in such numbers that the schooner
was the center of n yelling mass of
niggers. This was unpleasant and as
our anchor was barely touching we
hove it off the bottom and set the
foretopsail. The breeze was very
light. But we felt easier.
Meanwhile, the niggers on deck, a
dozen or so in number, were swooping
round. One lot congregated about a
ring bolt, while, hidden in their midst,
two OF them stopped down and pulled
with all their might at the iron ring,
pulled and strained until something
had to give. But it wasn't the bolt.
And then the rest scratched their wigs
and yelled disappointedly. And pres
emily they scored. The carpenters
cross-cut saw was lying on the fore
hatch. \ couple of the visitors
sampled it, and finding that it was
loose and of good metal each taking
hold of an end, sprang overheard.
Diving with the eight-foot saw they
reappeared far beyond the boats MAX

sNEAKING ON BOARD BY THE DOZEN
Trade being brisk, the skipper
knocked up the carpenters rifle,
which was leveled at the swimmers,
and no further notice was taken. Old
shear-bIades were eagerly sought for,
and brought from fifteen to twenty
pound weight of shell. The happy
possessor of one danced around joy
fully, and evidently could hardly be
restrained from trying it then and
there on his neighbours body, dagger
fashion. Everything was handed
over the gangway, where stood four
men armed to the teeth. Others,
with boarding pixies, were posted
along the bulwarks fore and aft to
prod the weather side niggers who
climbed up and shook the nets and

WALKED INTO A HOT TRAP.

old scamp, walking thOughtfully for
ard, with heaven knows what ideas
simmering under his thatch. And
here he fell straight into trap that
Chips, the carpenter, indignant and
vengeful, had just set in the shape of
a steaming cauldrOn OF boiling pitch,
with ladle in ii, and everything nice
and convenient.
The old fellow paused and shifted.
What was this shiny, beautifully
black stuff, with prismatically col
ored shifting hues playing on its sur
face? He looked around. Every body
was busy. He shifted again the pleas
ant, aromatic odor, and pondered
deeply. Then he caught sight of the
cook, whose great mop of curly hair,
black as jet, he had admired almost
as much as his rotund, fat, little
body.
Aha. he had it now. This was
the stuff the white man dyed
his hair! Should he not also give it a
trial? Happy thought! STOPPING low,
until the shear blades hanging from
his neck clinked against the iron pot,
he lifted the big ladle, brimming full,
and carefully poured the scalding
contents over his head. The burning
stuff ran down his face, into his eyes,
| ears and mouth, as with yell that
| woke Oceania, he flew clean over the
six-foot MEETINGS into the sea, follow
| ed by every soul on board, taking no
manner of order in their going.

cannot describe this really beauti-
full church, but will say for the
benefit Of readers who are up in
architecture, that the style is
Romauesque. The building will be
an additional b eauty in Mineral
Point, which is already noted for its
picturesque scenery and its many
beautiful homes.
"The Mineral Point Relief Corps
