/ came to myself in darkness, in great
pain, bound hand and foot, and deafened
1 by many unfamiliar noises. There sound
ed in my ears a roaring of water as of a
huge milldam-the thrashing Of heavy
sprays, the laundering of the sails and
| the shrill cries of seamen The whole
| world now heaved giddily up, and now
rushed giddily downward; and SO sick
and hurt was in body, and my mind SO
much confounded, that it took me long
| while chasing my thoughts up and
down, and ever stunned again by a fresh
stab Of pain, to realize that I must be
lying somewhere bound in the belly Of
that unlucky ship, and that the wind
must have strengthened to a gale
had no measure in time. Day and
night were alike in that i'll smelling
cavern of the ships bowels where lay,
and the misery Of my situation drew
out the hours to double. How long
therefore lay waiting to hear the ship
split upon some rock, or to feel her reel
head foremost into the depths of the
sea have not the means of computa-
ton. But sleep at length stole from me
the consciousness of sorrow
I was wakened by the light Of hand
lantern shining in my face. A small
man of about thirty, with green eyes
and a tangle of fair hair, stood looking
down at me.
"Well," said he, show goes it?''
/ answered by a sob, and my visitor
then felt my pulse and temples, and set
himself to wash and dress the wound
upon my scalp.
Aye" said he, "a sore dunt Tstrokel.
What, man? Cheer up! The worlds no
done. You've made bad start Of it,
but you'll make better. Have you had
any meat?'
I said could not look at it, and there
upon he gave me some brandy and water
in a tin pannikin and left me once more
to myself.
The next time he came to see me
was lying betwixt sleep and waking, my
eyes wide open in the darkness, thesick-
ness quite departed, but succeeded by
horrid giddiness and swimming that
was almost worse to bear.
The glimmer of the lantern as trap
opened shone fh like the heavens sum
light, and though it only showed me the
strong, dark beams of the ship that was
my prison, could have cried aloud for
gladness. The man with the green eyes
was the first to descend the ladder, and
noticed that he came somewhat un-
steadily. He was followed by the cap
tain. Neither said word, but the first
set to and examined me and dressed my
wound as before, while Hoseason looked
me in my face with an odd, black look.
'.Now, sir, you see Tor yourself, said
the first; ssa high fever, no appetite, no
light, no meat; you see for yourself what
that means

erwork, a skin Of wild beast, stone
pipe, the mocking bird that news for
all the world like a cat, the cardinal
bird that is as red as blood? Take your
pick and say your pleasure"
By this time we were at the boat side
and he was handing me in. did not
dream of hanging back. I thought (the
poor foolD that had found good friend
and helper, and was rejoiced to see the
ship. AS soon as we were all set in our
places the boat was thrust off from the
pier and began to move over the waters,
and what with my pleasure in this new
movement, and my surprise at our low
position, and the appearance of the
shores, and the growing bigness of the
brig as we drew near to it, / could hard
ly understand what the captain said,
and must have answered him at random,
As soon as we were alongside (where

seamen at their work. Hoseason, de-
claring that he and must be the first
aboard, ordered taekleto be sent down
from the main yard. In this / was
whipped into the air and set down again
on deck, where the captain stood ready
waiting for me and instantly slipped
back his arm under mine. There stood
some while, little dizzy at the un-
steadiness of all around me, perhaps
little afraid, and yet vastly pleased
with these strange sights, the captain
meanwhile pointing out the strangest
and telling me their names and uses. 9
But where is my uncle?" said / sud-
denly.
"Aye," said Hoseason, with sudden
grimness, ssthat's the point.
Ifelt was lost. With all my strength
l plucked myself clear of him and ran
to the bulwarks. Sure enough, there was
the boat pulling for the town, with my
uncle sitting in the stern. / gave
piercing cry-"Help, help! Murder!''-
SO that both sides of the anchorage rang
with it, and my uncle turned around
where he was sitting and showed me a
face full of cruelty and terror.
It was the last saw. Already strong
hands had been plucking me back from
the ships side, and now a thunderbolt
seemed to strike me. Isaw great flash

FRENCH POLITICS.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE Socialist union has
issued TO the people a manifesto, which
says:
OpDortUnism has become engulfed in
the Quagmre of bloodshed at Fourmies
and the mud from the Panama scandals,
The system OF delivering up the parlia-
ment and the presidency to a handful of
criminals must be abolished If the repub-
lie is to be a republic of honesty and to
maintain the place it holds with so much
glory in the vanguard of the nations. We
must organize a government by the
people through the medium of universal
suffrage"
The manifesto closes with a call for a
great meeting in Paris on Saturday, that
the people may ratify these demands.
The announcement that General Sausser
Is TO remain on the active list AS military
governor of Paris after passing the age of
retirement is construed as an indication
that the government means TO be prepared
tor any emergency. General SaussIer Is
considered TO be the most reliable man in
the army and would be invaluable in the
event of a public disturbance. There Is
no doubt that the assurance of his con-
tinuance in command has had dampen-
ing effect upon those who would like to
see the capital thrown into panic.
Iu Difference to the overw helming pub
lie demand for further reconstruction
of the ministry. NJ. Ribot has bad Il
lengthy discussion with Admiral Gervais,
chief of the department of marine and
colonies, in regard to accepting the min
istry of marine and colonies, in place of
N. Burdeau. Admiral Gervais declined,
and at the cabiuet council it was decided
to detach the colonies from the ministry
of marine and to attach them to the de-
partment of commerce, under NJ. Sieg-
fried.
NJ Hubbard, the radical deputy for
Seiue-et-Oise, has announced that be will
address the ministers i'll the chamber, and
request that the commission of inquiry
appointed by the chamber to examine
into the Panama scandal hold meeting.
The evidence went to show beyond any
reasonable doubt that NJ. Sans Leroy
was To a great extent, if not completely,
guilty Of the charges made against him.
