An American steamer off
The port of Nassau carly n morning.
anu transferred all her ~passenger who
wished TO go ashore, with one exccp-
'oit' 10 Il steam tender. The exception
was Il traveller who had not heard on
lhe previous night the warning that
every one who wished to 90 ashore for
NlG morning must be ON deck by u
O'Clock. He appeared upon the scene
u moment after the tender had east off.
ms fellow passengers waved their
halldkerchlefs and laughed at him. The
captain undertook to discipline him
roughly.
There is always one fool left be-
hind. he shouted, angrily. You didn't
Know enough To get up when / warned
you 1t would be your only chance Of
going ashore"
but received no Warming meekly
answered the traveller.
This protest called out a volley Of
oathS from the captain. The traveller
bristlcd iii his turn.
1t IS my misfortune to be let be-
hind" he said. But it is Lot u brave
officer who abuses n passenger for his
hard luck. l have travelled under many
laSs, and | am sorry that the first cap
tain to treat me with discourtesy should
be an American"
Before half an hour had passed n sail
boat ran in close to the steamer, and
in response to a signal from the passen-
ger, carried him ashore. Soon after ne
turned the tables upon the captain
and the passengers.
He had letters of introduction to pre-
sent 10 the governor of the Bahamas,
and was Hospitality received by him.
When pressed TO remain over night
he explained that the steamer was TO
sail ut l o'clock for Cuba. The gov
ernOr turned TO his secretary.
Tell the agent that the steamer must
not sail until he hears from me-" ~
the order.
Then the governor explained to his
guest that by virtue of Il mail subsidy
he could detain the ship for twenty
four hours. You can stay overnight
and get off in the morning" he added.
1t was g complete reversal of condi-
tons. At sunrise the traveller had been
alone on the ship. looking regretfully
after his fellow passengers who were
on their way 10 the shore. AT noon
they we're back on the steamer, ana
he was on shore. holding the shin for
his w convenience with the govern
or's permission.
The traveller. however. was merci-
full 10 the captain. He did not detain
the steamer longer than six hours. II
returned to it at nightfall To meet the
captains flashing eye.
Always behind time!' exclaimed the
martinez. You've kept all hands wait
ing since noon
Long enough, I hope was the cool
reply, for you, sir, to learn that civil
jty should be one of the rules OF the
sea. and that the use Of abusive llil-
guage may be at lcast-inJudlclons.

E.caped wild Beasts.

Nothing at the world fair, proba-
b'y. is as interesting TO the average
boy as Hagenbeck's menagerie. 1t Is
the sight of a lifetime To see the
keeper mount one of the growing lions
living fiat on his back or side while an
other lion with mouth open springs
I'M with his fore paws upon his shout
der and laps his throat or cheek with
his tongue and shows his sharp. shiny
teeth i'm 4 way to send a thrill through
the beholder. In the new McClures
Magazine for July is an article made
I'M from material furnished by Karl
Hageubeck entitled Wild Beasts; How
they are Transported and Tanned.
We extract one Of the adventures with
elephants:
But one of the most alarming adj
ventures hat ever overlook me whilst
7 was Transporting animals was that
which occurred once when twelve
elephants broke away from me and
rushed through the streets of Vienna.
The whole twelve had been deposited
in n depot. where they had to rest for
two days. / was taking six OF the Gle
infants to lead them TO the station, II
when nv DICK WIS tuIIcu anu Il was
engaged with these six elephants, the
other six stealthily and quietly pulled
ND the iron rings by which they were
fastened to the ground, trumpeted
loudly, and before j knew what had
happened the twelve animals We're
rushing through the streets OF Vienna.
At last, after n long chase, / caught the
biggest elephant and led it TO the sta
don. the others following quietly
enough. But my troubles were not
over vet, for / had hardly got the first
four into a railway a when the 9th
ers began to howl. The four elephants
a the train plunged and kicked about.
and Mt last they broke their ropes and
ran out of the van followed by all the
others. and into the open streets. Then
began another hunt mp the big fashion
able streets, down little courts int al
leys. once after one which ran into
n big shop, all oyer a big park, and
this went on for three hours until, at
last, greatly TO my relief, l got them

gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

SEnaiIneSS His Fortune.

Most New Workers are familiar with
the figure of Il little newsboy who sits
in Il perambulator at the corner OF
Twenty-third street ana Broadway. He
is always there in rain or sunny
weather, and rumor says that he has
made quite Il little fortune during the
last fifteen years. The other day n kind
hearted lady stopped 10 buy a paper
of him, and as she did SO deposited
fellow looked it over with an amused
coumtenance. He showed it 10 the next
customer, saying:
Now will you look at that? Some
OF them give me rattles," and he
laughed gleefully.
Well" said the customer, don't
you like p~laythings"
The boy looked at the gentleman,
who was quite young, and asked, DO

prise.

said the little fellow. II was thirty

one day walking in Bath with the mar

He excused himself 10 his companion

ut him for a moment, and then ex-
claimed, de~lightedly:

times in his abuse of the aristocracy.

and Il man of Acknowledged impor-

His Strong Hold.

In the ranks of a certain company Of
New York volunteers there was an
Irishman who afforded an immense
amount of amusement as well as con-
siderable annoyance to all who came In
contact with him. 1T was said that the
reception of any order, saw one to
fall in for dinner or for pay, always
found him not quite ready.
He was fertile in to an as.
tonishing degree. He was, perhaps, in
several battles, but that is 10 GER

this freshman appeared at the house OF
his old commander, with n request that
that gentleman would give him a bit
of paper to git him a pinsion Wild"
Not liking fatty TO refuse the request,
which the man had come many miles
to prefer, the commander put him Off
with some evasion; but when the Irish
man appeared the second time, he said
firmly:

Reducing Immigration.

A dispatch from London says: The
reports from the United States concern
ing the temporary financial stringency
and commercial depression have knocked
sky high the boom for which the emf
grafton agents have been working for
several months.
Ever since spring the various emigra-
ton agencies in the center of the city
have been deluging the various indus
trial and agricultural regions of the
country with pamphlets and leaflets di-
lating in glowing terms upon the OPP
portunities for profitable employment
of artisans, mechanics, farmers and
agricultural laborers in the United
States, that country being represented
as on the top wave of prosperity, with
abundance of capital and with labor at
premium.
AS result of the representations nu-
merous emigration clubs have been Or
gained on an installment principle in
the west and north of England, and the
agents have been looking forward to one
of the biggest harvests of recent years in
their line.
Cable dispatches for the past few
weeks, however, have convinced the in
tending emigrants that it is better for
the time being to endure present evils
than to seek worse ones in a new coun-
try, and as q result the boom has ''pe-
tered out"
