Wanted e Die Rich.

Many years ago. according to one
OF the yarns OF the sen told by marin.
ers who claimed to have been pres.
ent, a little British ship having on
board large consignment OF Spanish
dollars for a house in Rio Janeiro
was wrecked on the brazilian coast
Hoping to save some OF his precious
cargo the Captain ordered one OF the
casks containing the gold brought on
deck. but the vessel was SO badly
wrecked by the continuous pound
ing on the rocks that 1t was soon
found necessary to take to the boats
without any OF the treasure. As the
last boat was about to leave the ILL
faxed craft, one OF the officers to
make sure that no one was left on
board, went back to make a last tour
Of the ship. To his surprise, sitting
beside one OF the casks with q hatch.
ct In his hand, he found one OF the
sailors.
Hurry up!" cried the officer.
1--WE came within an ace OF going oil
without YOU"
"I'm not going" replied the sail.
or, giving the cask q hearty whack
with the Ratchet, bursting 1t open,
and laughing with delight as the coin
poured out around him. 'I've al.
ways wanted to die rich. I've been
poor all my life, and this Is my first
and last chance. Go ahead, I'll stay
here with my fortune"
Argue as he might, the officer
could not persuade the fellow to
leave the gold with which he played
as child with marbles, and he final
~ had to leave him to his fate.

Nickel Steel Frame3.

The construction of the yacht VAL
kyrie III. Is at last definitely known.
She Is OF composite build, with keel,
stem, sternpost and deadwoods Of
teak; frames, stringers and ties OF
nickel steel and wood planking. The
keel was cast about March / the
wood keel has been bolted to the
lead, and the stem and sternpost set
up, the frames riveted and set up
and the ribbands run. In model the
new boat Is similar to Britannia and
Valkyrie, a keel cutter. but with her
leading features carried to q greater
extreme.
The original report that she was
to be plated with nickel steel was
doubted at the time, and now the
wisdom OF the doubt Is shown. Nickel
steel has greater tensile strength than
plain steel, and therefore allows the
use Of a smaller and lighter frame.
Ailsa's frames are also OF nickel
steel, and 1t would not be ut
all surprising to find that the frames
OF the new Herreshof cup defender
are OF the same material. Exact in
formation on the latter point Is not
obtainable, but the cup defender !
frames are certainly very light In
color for plain steel, and come much
nearer nickel steel in looks.
They are also OF unusually small
size, and this would seem to further
indicate the use OF nickel steel.

JoHNsoN's INAUGURATION.
The Wee President Yves Not Sober
When Ne Took The Oath.


Noah Brooks tells the following
story In his personal "reminiscences
OF Lincoln in the Century:
All eyes were turned to the main
entrance. where, precisely on the
stroke Of IL, appeared Andrew John.
son. Vice President elect. arm in arm
with Hannibal Hamlin, whose term
OF Office was now expiring. They
took seats together on the dais Of the
presiding officer, and Hamlin made u
brief and sensible speech, and An.
drew johnson, whose face was cxtraor-
ordinarily red, was presented to take
the oath. 1t Is needless to say here
that the unfortunate gentleman, who
had been very i'll. was not altogether
sober at this most important moment
Of his life. In order to strengthen
himself for the physical and mental
ordeal through which he was about
to pass he had taken a stifl drink Of
whisky In the room Of the Vice Presi-
dent, and the warmth Of the Senate
chamber. together with other physi.
cal conditions, had sent the fiery
liquor to his brain. He was evidently
intoxicated.
As he went on with his speech, he
turned upon the cabinet officers
and addressed them us "Mr. Stan.
ton," mr.. Seward" etc, without
the official handles to their names.
Forgetting Mr.. Welles' name, he
said. and you, too, Mr."-then
leaning over to Col. Forney. he said.
what 10 tho name OF the Secretary
OF the Navy?' and then continued US
though nothing had happened. Once
In while, from the reporters gal.
lery, could observe Hamlin nudging
Johnson from behind. reminding him
him that the hour for the inauguration
ceremony had passed. The speakers
kept on, although President Lincoln
sat before him, patiently waiting for
his extraordinary harangue to be
over.
The study Of the faces below was
interesting. Seward was as bland
and serene as o summer day; Stan.
ton appeared to be petriHed; Welles'
face was usually void Of any expires.
sion; Speed sat with his eyes closed
Dennison was red and white by turns.
Among the Union Senators Henry
Wilson's face was flushed; Sumner
wore q saturnine and sarcastic smile (;
and most OF the others turned and
twisted In their senatorial chairs a,

preme Bench, Judge Nelson only was
apparently moved, his lower iaw
being dropped clean down In blank
horror. Chase was marble. adamant
granite In immobility until johnson
turned his back upon the Senate te
take the oath. when he exchanged
glances with Nelson, who Their
closed up his mouth.
When johnson had repeated In
audibly the oath OF Office, his hand
upon the book. he turned and tool

audience, said with loud. theatrical
voice and gesture, II kiss this book
