CHAPTER Viii.
The Earl.

The Earl
The night passed quietly: and the
day came along draped in sober gray
with a long ead-colored swell freckled
by some sea-fow within gun-shot of
I the quarter. In the afternoon Of this
day. the sky being gray and dry and
the sea-line clear sail sprang up
right ahead. The two captains were
at dinner when the boatswain put his
ugly face into the skylight and report
ed her. Both came up leisurely
than small draught. Pope with his
radiant spyglass under his arm He
leveled it at the sail; Crystal peered
at her through the brig's telescope.
Shall we attack her or pass her
with civil salute?" said Pope
Speak, Crystal"
The square man considered. When
ne spoke his speech was slow. his de.
livery solemn, and he looked fierce
with his scar
I'm for passing on" said he. For
more, I'm for putting the briggs helm
over, and giving yonder vessel a wide
berth"
What de say, Grindal?" said Pope,
rounding upon his boatswain
This is a clear sea" answered the
boatswain and a fust-class oppor-
tunity. I'm for boarding her taking
all she's got that's worth having, re-
moving her people, then sinking of
aer. afterwards transferring her crew
10 the first thing we can pick up
oound west or south"
"Im of Grindal's mind" said Pope
Right. if you sink the vessel" in
ferjected crystal.
So the order was given for the guns
10 be loaded and the small arms
served out. They loaded the carron-
AIDES, and ran them out. The two long
guns were also loaded; the boats were
seen to, all was made clear for action.
Host the ensign said Pope.
Haul up your courses, and lack the
tore-topss Dowr hsllupc."

CHAPTER viI.-Continued.

Crystals face cleared little and he
smoked thoughtfully and in silence,
Pope eyed him askant. somewhat
darkly. but on meeting his gaze his
face lighted up with one of his fine
cordial. Irish smiles. 1t was clear
from this and further discourse they
held that they had. as yet formed no
plans after they had obtained as much
plunder as would satisfy them.
The crew made merry in the dog
watches that evening. wearied as they
well might be after the labors of the
night. Just before sundown the boat
swain Grindal urched through the
yellow sheen to the quarterback.
Captain Pope" said he, the men
ha'n't seen their flag yet. Is there
any objection to its being hoisted, that
they sail under?"
Certainly" says Pope with great
heartiness. pipe all hands aft and
let them salute the flag with a glass
of grog apiece"
Grindal chirruped somewhat tipsily,
and the crew came tumbling on to the
main deck. A bucket of gin was
drawn and the hands were ordered
not to drink till the flag tloated over
them.
Pope went TO the hag-locker just
abaft the wheel and took out little
bale of stuff that was like pail rolled
up. He bent this weired flag to the
main-royal signal halyards. Then took
a turn round his hand and shouted
to his man to bring him and Crystal
a glass of grog. He then addressed
a few words to the pirates, and,
tweaking the line he held the flag
at the masthead broke and blew out
large, glossy, and black at the ravens

The whole ships company roared
out three cheers. and then drank, the
captain and his mate drinking with
them.

continue flying. After it had fioated
aloft five minutes, it was hauled down,
rolled up and slowed away. The men
went forward, and one produced fid-
die, and many of the sailors turned
TO and danced in the beautiful fading
light.

A notable step in the educa
tional annals of Mississippi is the
University Normal and Training
School for teachers cow being
held at Oxford, with between
SIX hundred and seven hundred
teachers in atten dance. The
management has engaged a large
corps of Americas most talented
educators to deliver special lee 7
ture courses during the term,
and it is expected that marked
improvement in the standard of
school teachers in Mississippi
will result from a continuation
OF this system.

There is no doubt of the fact

Somewhere, Sometime.
By B R. IVY.

BY R. IVY.
Somewhere In the realms of space
unknown now to mortal keen.
We shall find resting place
Where mortal vision hath meyer seen.
Sopewhere we shall be known
In physical or in spirit form,
For life In all is truly sown,
But the mystery is stiu unknown,
Somewhere it will bud, and bloom again,
For God is truth, and it will survive,
In JOY or bliss or in some pain
For from all death life will arise.
Sometime, we know not when.
The key of mystery will be revealed,
And that which row is hidden here
Will no longer be concealed.
Shall the life we live be again?
Or shall some other in its place reign?
query we Oft ask in vain
As flashes the thought through the orain.
No life has ever yet been lost
Simply transformation comes, tossed
Though by mystery and doubt we are
Sometime we shall know nothing is lost.
Sometime il will be explained
For God is love. and He loves us dear,
Why we suffer and toll in pain,
Its all for good in another sphere.
Sometime if the world should pass away
And all Is matter to vapor formed,
In truth we still can say
Nothing is lost but simply is transformed

which they did, and in II hours tho

Wahalak.

A boom has struck our little
sister town-not a staggering.
Dragging affair, but a working.
h sting. get up and get. there
movement has hit Wahalak sure
and, better still, it is there to
stay.
Northern money, com bined
with Yankee energy and inge-
nuity, is converting our oak
t m b ber-all of it-into legs,
rounds, backs, &C., OF chairs.
Every part OF the chair is manu-
factured, polished off and pre-
pared for putting together. Lit
tie saws, big saws, cutoff saws,
turning lathes, are whizzing,
buzzing and ripping, keeping up
a verltable pandemoni u m-so
much noise that the writer, who
lives at Scooba, couldn't wait for
the train but took the cross. tie
route away from there, fearing
that he might catch the conta-
gion and actually go to work
himself.
But, to quit my chatting, the
work is being done and heap
OF it. Oak OF every description,
timber that we heretofore con-
sidered worthless-pine oak, red
oak, white oak, post oak, all is
used. Even the bark is helping
to convert the muddy waters OF
the Wahalak creek into steam,
the motive power of the plant.
Mr.. K Ugh t, the pleasant
spoken, affable secretary and
treasrrer, has bis brecches pock-
cts sss.slly lined with the filthy
lucre, prepared to pay off the
hands every Saturday evening.
Mr.. Enock, the hustling, bust
ling foreman, is everywhere-ex-
cept in the way o! the saws,
keeping the workmen and ma
chinery wing in m 9th
grooves. Mr.. Knowlton looks
after the lathes, keeps the blades
sharpened, sc. Mr.. Wagner,
the general manager and in
structor, is a capable man who
seems to thoroughly understand
all the details of the business.
All of the above mentioned gen
tlemen have their families with
them. They are here to stay as
long as the oak timber within
radius OF ten miles holds out.
Yankee like, they prefer white
laborers, and all the young men
and boys who are wanting u loD
and will go there prepared to
get right down to work, can be
accommodated. But you will
find when you contract with
them that you must go to work
they have all the bosses they
need just at present. [ noticed
four young men---students at
the A. & Mt h ere, besides
quite number from the sur
rounding country. But, don't
you forget it, they have pulled
off their standing collars, cravats
and cuffs, donned their overalls,
and have got to be so blamed

tice You during working hours,
which isfrom 7 Il nj till 6 p. m.
barring one hour for dinner.
Quit cutting a $500 oak for
a 10 cent coon; or, better still,
after you have finished eating
the coon, 60 and interview Mr..
knight, at Wahalak. lie wants
the whole tree, all of it except
the little twigs and leaves, and
as [ said before, he has the mon
ey in his breeches pocket to pay

The report circulated that the Penn

THE ELEVATED ROAD

Trains will be running over a portion
of the elevated tracks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in Wilmington by December LIST.
This statement was made this week by an
official of the road who said the work OF
filling in beneath the tracks from Land
lith to the Brandywine bridge was now
progressing rapidly. 1t has already been
almost completed to Vandever avenue
and now the most important thing is the
completion of the bridges over Vandever
avenue, Fourteenth street and the
Brandywine. The first two will not re-
quire much time, but the masonry work
on the big elevated bridge over the river
will occasion a great deal OF work and
will of necessity have to be done more
slowly. 1t is the intention, however, OF
the contractors to have it finished before
the cold weather interferes with the
mortar and cement. BY the first OF
December the road ON the south side OF
the river will have been completed to
Fifth street, where there is an approach
to the elevated from the surface.
