In the hard days when Henry Grady

patronage. A leading merchant who

short editorial on cats, told how cat

fashionable lady Wore a feline. etc. Not

Small boys, white and black, brought
them in baskets and bags. For Il while
the merchant enjoyed the joke. but soon

BY the time he returned the boys from

sidewalk was blockatled. Henry had

on a window sill across the street, ems

In sheer despair, and night relieved him
from the pressure.
But the next morning the catastrophe
was worse. The catalogue was not end

A DUTCH PIRATE.
Feared Nothing and Never Tried to Avoid
Danger.

Brasiliano, the Dutchman, expelled
from Brazil at the Portuguese invasion,
was another, who, having taken refuge
in the British colony and being anxious
to get on, saw no way so likely 10 do
it as by turning PIRATE" in which line
he soon distinguished himself by the
the same qualities. He feared nothing,
avoided no danger and always went
upon the most difficult enterprises"
This. was, indeed, the golden rule Of pi-
racy, which, accidents apart. always led
to success. says the Gentlemdn's Mdga-
zine.
Vessel after vessel did Brasiliano and
his friends take, regularly returning to
Port Royal 10 ~squsnder away their
gold in every kind of debauehery. On
sea or on land nothing could withstand
the valor Of these desperadoes." They
shrunk from no encounter at any odds
and their victories were generally fol-
lowed by "horrid cruelties, with which
they tortured the poor Spaniards after
a manner shocking to relate" partly in
order to get more money, partly, it
seems. in mere wautonness of fury.
Whatever they got was, however.
spent ina very short time. the pirates be-
ing quickly reduced to beggary. They
have been known to spend 1000 or 81
600 pieces Of eight in one night" On
these occasions wine literally flowed
down the streets. The successful buc-
cancers insisted upon every one gartak-
ing Of their hospitality; at othef times
they showered the beverage about the
streets, wetting the clothes of passers-
by, which seemed to them an excellent
diversion" Some persons objected.
doubtless, but, on the whole, it was cor
sidered good for t'ade.
When poverty u. one occasion drove
Brasiliano to sea again he. like Barthol-
omew, was captured while calmly "view-
ing the fort" of Csmpeachy. The gov
ernor determined to hang him and his
crew. but their captain had the address
to write q letter, as from other pirates.
threatening horrid cruelty to any of the
Spanish nation who should fall into
their hands. And this letter had the
desired effect, SO well known were both
the courage and cruelty of the pirate
community.
