By this time other radical change. Ind

By this time other radical changes had
come about besides the advent of another
generation. At last Mrs. Trafford had
carried her threats into effect and had
turned her back upon the good society of
Blankhampton for the wider and more
interesting sphere of life In London. Her
little picd-a-terrc had finally resolved it
self into q sweet little entresol ut the 9th.
CT end of Victoria Street to that in which
the Step hen Towards fiat stood. Here
she had already established very much
the same kind of salon for which she had
been renowned in the old city where she
had had such enormous and satisfactory
success in the matter of settling her Girls
comfortably and suitably in life. That
was n phrase which was very often in
Mrs. Trafford's mouth. "Yes-I have
been very fortunate In my girls" she
would say, "for you see they have not
only settled comfortably but also very
suitably"
In London Mrs. Bob became very soon
quite as popular as she had always been
IN Southampton, and being n very in-
innate friend of Lady Lucifer's, she had
the opportunity of knowing very good
people.
Mrs. Trafford and Julia Howard also
knew If not n better set of peop., than
they had known in Blankhampton, at
least q less mixed one, and really the life
which Julia led was what Mrs. Trafford
described rs Unfortunately gay. "Ohl Julia
has no time for babies" she said, with q
laugh, to Mrs. Bob; ut is quite as well
that she has none"
YES, l think it is" returned Mrs. Bob,
who had always been of that opinion.

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

Brasiliano, the Dutchman, expelled
from Brazil nj the Portuguese invasion,
was mother, who, having taken refuge
in the British colony and being anxious
to get on, saw no way so likely to do
it as by turning PIRATE, in which line
he soon distin guished himself by the
the same qualities. "He feared nothing,
avoided no anger 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 Gentleman's Maga-
zine.
Vessel after vessel did Brasiliano and
his friends take, regularly returning to
Port Royal to squander away their
gold in every kind of debauchery. 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 wantonness Of fury.
Whatever tboy got was, however,
spentin..a very short time, the pirates be-
ing quickly reduced to beggary. "They
have been known to spend 2, 900 or 81
900 pieces of eight in n night" On
these occasions wine literally flowed
down the streets. The successful buc-
cancers insisted upon every one partak-
ing of their hospitality; at othe. times
they showered the beverage about the
streets, w%etting the clothes of passers-
by, which seemed to them an excellent
diversion" Some persons objected,
doubtless, but. on the whole, it was con-
sidered good for trade.
When poverty on one occasion drove
Brasiliano to sea again he. like Barthol-
onew, wal captured while calmly "yiew-
ing the fort" Of Campeachy. The gov
ernor determined TO hang him and his
crew, but their captain had the address
to write a 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 we'll known were both
the courage and cruelty of tho pirate
community.
