November Is, as an extra on the course.
Every ticket-hoder may retain their own

from the FL Dorado paper tells of their
popularity:
Alba Haywood and his peerless company
appeared al Ellet's opera house last even
ing in a delightful and new program. Mr..
Haywood has appeared here so often and
always to the keen enoyen of FL Dorado's
people, that he has come to be regarded
ore as a personal friend using his talents
for the entertainment of his admirers in
one of their own homes. than as a profess
sicnal out after the cash. The limitations
placed upon imitation of the lily has been
the frequent subject Of comment, and so
there are bounds set upon description of
Heywood's work as an impersonator and
comedian. Eye and ear revealing the soul.
the wit the pathos and the humor of
Haywood which like the boys whistle in
school, "did itself" His personality and
individuality absolutely disappears in the
characters he assumes.
Miss Flora Drescher and his violin were
the joy of musical souls. The divine chords
find a fitting interpreter in her and she
was recalled again and again by the sin
cere encores.
Miss Elise Reimer, pianist. found high
favor with the audience. The spirit OF har-
mony and melody were glorIously blended
in fine feeling and expression. Encore after
encore was honest testimony OF apprecia-
ton.

vance one of the men. The boatswain,
Job Anderson. was the likeliest man
aboard, and, though he kept his old
title, he served in way as mate. Mr..
Trelawney had followed the sea, and
his knowledge made him very useful.
for he often took watch himself in
easy weather. And the cockswain, Is
rael Hands, was careful, willy, old, ex-
perienced seaman, who could be trusted
at pinch with almost anything.
He was great confidant of Long
John Silver, and so the mention of his
name leads me on to speak of our ships
cook, Barbecue. as the men called him.
Aboard ship he carried his crutch by
a lanyard round his neck, to have both
hands as free as possible. 1t was some
thing to see him wedge the foot of the
crutch against bulkhead, and, propped
against it, yielding to every movement
of the ship, get on with his cooking like
some one safe ashore. Still more
strange was it to see him in the heaviest
of weather cross the deck. He had a
line or two rugged up to help him across
the widest spaces-Long Johns ear
rings, they were called and he would
hand himself from one place to another.
now using the crutch, now trailing il
alongside by the lanyard, as quickly as
another man could walk. Yet some of
the men who had sailed with him before
expressed their pity to see him so re-
duced.
Hes no common man, Barbecue"
said the cockswain to me. He had
good schooling in his young days, and
can speak like book when so minded;
and brave-lion's nothing alongside of
Long John! I see him grapple four and
knock their heads together-him un-
armed"
All of the crew respected and even
obeyed him. He had way of talking
to each and doing everybody some par
ticular service. To me he was un-
weariedly kind, and always glad to see
me in the galley, which he kept Is clean
as a new pin; the dishes hanging up
FURNISHED and his parrot in a cage in
the corner.
'Come away. Hawkins" he would
say; "come and have a yarn with John.

And the parrot would say, with great
rapidity: "Pieces of eight! pieces of

till John threw his handkerchief over

CHAPTER VIII.-CoNTINUED.

On our little walk along the quays,
he made himself the most interesting
companion, telling me about the diff
ferent ships that we passed by, their
rig. tonnage, and nationality, explain
ing the work that was going forward
how one was discharging, another
taking in cargo, and a third making
ready for sea; and every now and then
telling me some little anecdote of ships
or seamen, or repeating a nautical
phrase till l had learned it perfectly.
! began to see that here was one of the
best of possible shipmates.
When we got TO the inn, the squire
and DR.. Livesey were seated together,
finishing quart of ale with a toast
In it, before they should go aboard
the schooner on visit of inspection.
Long John told the story from first
to last, with a great deal of spirit and
the most perfect truth. THAT was how
1t were, now, weren't it, Hawkins ?"
he would say. now and again, and l
could always bear him entirely out.
The two gentlemen regretted that
Black Dog had got away; but we all
agreed tAere was nothing TO be done,
and after he had been compliInented,
Long John took up his crutch and de-
parted.
"All hands aboard by four this after
noon," shouted the squire after him.
"Ay, ay, SIR" cried the cook, in the
passage.
well, squire" said DR.. Livesey, AZ
don't put much faith in your discover
les, as a general thing; but L will say
this-John Silver suits me-"

clareG the squire.

There is the old story of a British
railway. A traveller had left his wrap
in a railway carriage, and the guard,
opening the door, inquired:
"Is there a blacl: macintosh here %
NO" answered one of the big high
landers inside; there is no black Mack
intosh, but there are six red Macgreg-
ors."
This story would almost seem to have
been copied in another railway story. A
clerical passenger looked up from his
book.
"Have you read lambs Tales?' asked
he.
NO" said the man opposite, who hap
pened to be n commercial traveller, "but
I have black sheepskin rugs."-Gen-
tleman's Magazine.

been doubtful as to the crew, but that
is only guess; for, as you shall hear, we
had not long the benefit of his opinion.
We were all hard at work, changing
the powder and the berths, when the
last man or two, and Long John along
with them, came OFF in a shore-boat.

he saw what was doing, $50 no,

"Ay, ay, sir" answered the cook;
and, touching his forelock, he disap-
peared at once in the direction of his
galley.
That's a good man, captain" said
the doctor.
VERY likely, sir" replied Capt.
Smollett. Easy with that, man

were shifting the powder: and then
suddenly observing me examining the
swivel we carried amidships, long

he cried, "out o. that! Off with you to

THE VOYAGE.

All that night we were in great
hustle getting things slowed in their
place, and boatfuls of the squire's
friends, Mr.. Blandly and the like, COM
ing off to wish him a good voyage and
a safe return. We never had a night
at the Admiral Benbow when l had
half the work; and l was dog-tired
when, a little before dawn, the boat
swain sounded his pipe, and the crew
began to man the capstan-bars. I might
have been twice as weary, yet I would
not have left the deck; all was so new
and interesting to me-the brief com
mands, the shrill notes of the whistle,
the men bustling to their places in
the glimmer of the ships lanterns.
Now, Barbecue, tip us a stave,"
cried one voice.
THE old one" cried another.
"Ay, ay, mates" said Long John,
who was standing by, with his crutch

POWDER AND ARMS.


The Hispaniola lay some way out,
and we went under the figureheads and
round the sterns of many other ships,
and their cables sometimes grated be-
meath our keel and sometimes swung
above us. At last, however, we swung
alongside and were met and saluted as
we stepped aboard by the mate, Mr..
Arrow, a brown old sailor, with ear
rings in his ears and a squint He and
the squire were very thick and friendly,
but / soon observed that things were
not the same between Mr.. Trelawney
and the captain.
The last was a sharp-loolxing man
who seemed angry with everything on
board, and was soon to tell us why, for
we had hardly got down into the cabin
when a sailor followed US.
Capt. Smo.lett, sir, axing to speak
with you" said he.

ders. Show him in said the squire.
The captain, who was close behind

the door behind him.
"Well, sir" said the captain, "better
speak plain, l believe. at the risk of
offense. | don't like this cruise; don't
like the men, and don't like my officer

state began to become European
ized." The family was always scien-
tific, and the present count is the
first of his line to take to politics
and diplomacy rather than the pro-
fession of his ancestors. At the
same time, few men in secular life in
Europe can boast his attainments
in the way of scientific and classic
knowledge. His diplomatic work for
Russia in the orient ranks with that
of the best talent in the world. He
was the cars representative in the
plicatons which followed the
Chincse-Japanese war, and it was he
who secured all the important con-
cessions to Russia recently granted
by the Chinese emperor. His reward
for these distinguished services was
the embassy to Washington, now con-
sidered one of the highest diplomatic
stations by the governments of Eu-
rope. Count Cassini speaks seven Ian
guages fuently, including a few ori-
entail tongues, and he is rapidly ac-
quiring English for the purpose of
better facilitating his work in the i'm
