4 MILD HAMMERED PIRATE.

An Ex-CIerl WHO Joined the Fierce Sea
Rovers Of the Spanish Main.
1.-THE Buccaneers Of Cur Coast" is the
title Of q series Of rarrative sketches
that Frank K. Stockton is writing for
st. Nicholas. In speaking Of John Is
quemeling, who joined the buccaneers
and became their historian. Mr. Stock
ton says:
Il must have been a strange thing for
a man accustomed TO pens and ink, 10
yardsticks and scales. 10 offer 70 enroll
himself in company Of bloody, Zig
bearded pirates. hut man must eat,
ard buccaEeering was the only profes-
sion open to OR ex-clerk. For some rea-
son or other, certainly not on account Of
his bravery and daring. Esquemcling
was very we'll received By tho pirates Of
Tortuga. Perhaps they liked him be-
cause he was a mild hammered man and
50 different from themselves.
IS for EsqueIneling himself, he soon
came TO entertain the highest opinions
Of Lis pirate companions He locked
upon tho buccaneers who had distin-
guishcd themselves as great heroes, and
it must have been extremely gratifying
to those savage fellows TO tell Esque-
meliug al the wonderful things they
had done Esquemeling might have
earnod a salary as a listener.
Il was not long before his intense ad-
miratior Of the buccaneers and their per-
forIlanccs began to produce in him the
feeling that these great exploits should
net ba lest 20 the world, and 50 be set
about writing their lives and adventures.
He remained with TIE pirates for sew
eral years and during that time worked
very industri0usly getting together ma
terial for bis history. When ne returned
70 his own country in 1872, he there
completed q book which he called 1.-The
Buccaneers of America; or, The True
Account Cf the Most Remarkable As
saults Committed Of Late Years Upon
the Coasts Of the West Indies by the
Buccaneers, etc. BY john Esqnemeling,
One Of tho Buccaneers. Who Was Pres
ent at Those Tragedies.
From this title il is probable that IN
the capacity Of reporter our literary pi-
rate accompanied his comrades On their
various voyages and assaults, and al
though he states ne was present at many
Of "those tragedies be makes no refer
ence to any deeds Of valor or cruelty
performed by himself, which shows him
to have been wonderfully conscien-
tious historian. There are persons, how
ever, who doubt his impartiality, be-
cause, as be liked the French, be al
ways gave the pirates Of that nationality
the credit for most Of the bravery dis
played on their expeditions, and ali Of
the magnanimity and courtesy, if there
happened to besnys while the surliness,
brutality and extraordinary wickedness
were al ascribcd to the English.

One of Life's Misfortunes.


"Never mind, father, blindness shall
not interfere with my success in life" I"
said the young law student, Henry
Fawcett, when his father approached
himself for carelessly destroying all his
sons prospects of advancement.
zone pleasant day in 1858 the two
had gone hunting together. A flock Of
partridges flew over a fence where the
father had no right to shoot; but as he
was moving forward they flew back to-
ward his son. The father. so eager to
bring down a bird that he did not think
ofhis sons danger, fired. Several shots
entered Henry's breast, and one went
through each glass of a pair of speeta-
cles he wore. In an instant he was
stone bind for life.
''But within ten minutes from the
time of the accident which deprived
him of eyesight forever this boy OF iron
nerve had determined that even blind
ness should not swerve him from his
purpose.
"'Will you read the newspaper TO
me?'' were his first words to his sister
when they carried him home.
"He was obliged to abandon law, but
he began the estudy of political economy
with zeal rarely equalled, meanwhile
having friends read to him in his m ,
ments of leisure the works of Milton,
Burke, Wordsworth, all of George
Eliot's novels and wide course of
general literature, for he was deter
mined that his blindness should not
limit the breadth of his culture. -

The Leaky Missouri River.

T. r. Spearman writes Of "Queer
American Rivers" in ST. Nicholas. Mr..
Spearman says:
With all its other eccentricities, the
Missouri river leaks badly, for you
know there are lealy rivers as we'll as
leaky boats. The government engineers
once measured the flow Of the Missouri
away up in Montana and again some
hundred miles farther down stream To
their surprise they found that the Mis-
souri,. instead Of growing bigger down
stream, as every rational river should.
was actually 90, 900 second feet smaller
at the lower point
Now while 20, 900 second feet could
be spared from such tremendous river
that amount Of water makes consider
able stream Of itself. Many very cele-
brated rivers never had so much water
in their lives; hence there was great
amazement when the discrepancy was
discovered. But of late years Dakota
farmers away 10 the south and east OF
those points on the Missouri. sinking
artesian wells, found immense volumes
Of water where the geologists said there
wouldn't be any. So it is believed thas
the farmers have tapped the water leak
ing from that big hole in the Missouri
river away up in Montana, and from
these wells they irrigate large tracts Of
land, and naturally they don't want
the river bed mended. Fancy what a
blessing it is when the weather is dry
to have a river boiling out Of your we'll,
ready to flow where you want it ever

work that river can be put to irrigs-

isn't that queer way for the Missouri
to wander about underneath the ground2

The Gibraltar of Florida.

Since the Civil War very little has
been heard of the Dry Tortugas, says
the Sedaiia Capital. The map of Flor
ida shows the low coral and sand island
called Dry Tortugas TO be sixty miles
west of Key West, upon which the
United States many years ago built
Fort Jefferson, the largest fertilization
in America.
Dry Tortugas was to be the Gibraltar
of the Gulf of Mexico. When Spain
sold Florida to the United States for S.
000,0OC the bunch of sand keys called
the Dry Tortugas was thrown in for
good measure. 1t is rather singular that
the place now affords the assembling
point for the fleet which is watching
Cuba. jefferson Davis believed in the
Monroe doctrine. He fathered the idea
of an impreguable fort on the largest of
the Islands, from which the United
States might dominate the Gulf. The
first appropriation was made while
Davis was Senator from Mississippi.
He pressed the work as Senator, and
later as Secretary of War until mag
niiicient fertilization, as the theories of
warfare went in those times, had arisen,
completely covering ten or twelve acres
of Garden Key. The fort was built
with view to foreign complications.
Until the squadron rendezvoused
there the other day, Dry Tortugas had
no place in the news columns and al
most no place in the memories of this
generation. The massive structure rises
from the shallow water of the key 10 a
height Of sixty feet. II is surmounted
by parapet so elaborate as to give a
castle-like effect. A hundred feet out
from the base is low wall, inclosing a
moat. This outer wall was intended to
stop an attack by small boats. In the
defenses of fifty years ago the engineers
of sea-e0ast Notifications always had ia
view attempts to scale the walls. The
outer wall and the mOat were intended
20 keep small boats at such a distance
that the occupants might be picked of
by rihemen on the parapet. Fort jeff
erson was well built. The masonry is
forty years old and in perfect preserva-
ton. But where wood was used the
realization Of decay is impressed The
great Parrots on the barbette, careened
10y the rOtting Of the carriages, point
their muzzles at all angles and in all di-
rections. The time was when -four hun
dred cannon frowned in the portfolios.
Now the wild ducks swim in the mOat,
and the easemates know only the roar
of the surf Fort jefferson has no gar
rison, not so much as a eorpOral's guard.
II is the most magnificent military
ruin on the continent. The visitor can
walk through vanlted chambers half
mile and wonder IL the coast fortifca-
tiOns upon which the millions are being
spent at this time win be as obsolete
when the boys OF today ara graz

The Rl.hep and tho c.sbr.

The Irish Ecclesiastical Journal tells
this story: Last week an Irish bishop
was driving home to his hotel in the
city from a suburb Of Dublin. with
lady and one of the junior clergy as his
escort. 1t was late at night. dark, windy
and rainy, and the cabman drove away
merTily, but after some peculiar turn
ings and ten minutes driving the cab
was returning whence it had started.
The wherefore was evident, as the cabDy
was drunk. However, home had to be
reached. and his lordship, a man Of ae-
tion, jumped out Of the cab. mounted
the box and drove at a good round pace
into town. On reaching his destination
the right reverend prelate said he
thought he ought 10 be paid, senti-
ment in which the cabby acquiesced
with the utmost good humor. but poclE-
eted his fare notwithstanding To be
driven home By bishop on cab. adds
