Maynard and his companions fired with a cool, collected aim over the friendly cover, and at every discharge a coolie passed to his last account. Their cries of fiendish rage rent the air with re doubled violence at being so long balked of their prey, while 1beir leader, the ex-steward, danced and capered about like a lunatic. The dead bodies of the coolies lay piled one across another, the survivors making no attempt to as sist their comrades. Their ardor had been dampened by the severe check they had sustained, and reti ring from the scene. of the conflict, they held a hurried consultation, a respite that was made the most of by Maynard and his compan ions in repairing and strenghten ing the barricade which had suffer ed somewhat from the frantic ef forts of the mob. An omnious silence had fallen upon the ship, which boded no good to the three resolute men who held possession of the cabin. With anxious hearts and fingers pressing the triggers of their fire arms they stood straining both ears and eyes to discover what might be going on among their enemies. Suddenly a simultaneous yell burst from the hoarse throats of the gang, followed by a united rusli whioh shook the vessel. "Look to the cabin doors, May nard, I will look to the skylight I" shouted Sylvester, in an undaunt. ed tone, and again the crash of firearms, mingled with cries of pain, resounded through the ship. In the meantime the ship, left to the mercy of the winds and 4waves, was driving along be fore the wind with no one to con trol her movements. Both Sylvester and Maynard were well aware that both shoals and reefs abounded in the vicini ty, which added to the anxiety preying upon them. Unless the contest was decided in their favor, and the coolies driven below in a short time, a common death might overwhelm besieged and besieg ers. To add to the perplexities and dangers which appeared to the little band on all sides, night was coming on, and, under the cover of darkness, the .Chinese steward might obtain the mastery by some subtile strategy The whistling of the wind, the dash of the rising waves and the flshing of the canvas aloft were the only sounds that reached the ears of those in the cabin. But it was only for a moment or two that the treacherous calm reigned over the ship. A shout of triumph rang through the vessel, followed by a few rapid orders, then, without a moment's warning, a bale of oakum, soaked in turpentine, was hurled through the open skylight. The burning fragments were scattered about the cabin, and as the flames and smoke followed, a cry -of distr.ay escaped Sylvester's lips. "My God! they have us now," he murmured. And he staggered back pale as death in the ruddy glow of the flames. But the calm deep voice of the mate resounded in his ears, restor ing both confidence and courage. "Give me some wet blankets, captain, bear a hand, we will soon smother the fire. The second mate is guarding the forward door and he is more than a match for the devils. Work sharp, sir, and we will yet gain the day." The two men worked with a will, knowing full well what depen ded upon their efforts. Despite the clouds of blinding smoke which nearly drove them out of the cabin, they persevered fighting the 'new enemy inch by inch, which every moment gained, de spite their utmost efforts. The situation was certainly a desperate one, as inch by inch the blinding smoke drQve them back until they were forced to take refuge in tho forward cabin. "'Tis useless to struggle, May nard. Help may come.". Even as he spoke a deep heavy report reverberated over the ocean. "What was that ?" he asked in the next breath. "It sounded like a cannon. Hark! there it is again I" And the three men crowded close up to the barricade, while a low hum of consternation was hard among the insurgents. "Now is your time, Captain Syl vester. A man-of-war is -bearing down upon us. In less than half an hour we shall be rescued-if w. can hold-ont. The coolies are duties were far from light, so a Chinama, Assam by name, was du ly installed in the cabin. His dark eyes glittered with some strong inward emotion as he stood humbly, even cringingly, before the captain, listening to his directions, but made no other demonstration. The captain took no notice of it, and he was suffer ed to depart without further de lay. Stowed away in the run of the ship abaft the cabin were some $20,000, a portion of the ship's earnings, safely packed in kegs. The fact had been carefully con cealed by the officers from the crew. and as far as the coolies, it would have been adding coals to the fires had they but an inkling of the dangerous secret. On the morning of the third day Capt. Sylvester crawled into the run of the vessel, leaving the door open behind him, his object being to look after the safe stow age of the specie. Without a mo ment's warning he came upon the Chinese steward, who was too intent upon what he had before him to notice the approach of his master. The Chihaman by some means had managed to break open a keg containing the precious metal, and the glittering contents lay-ex posed to the sparkling, avaricious gaze of the wily native. For a moment Sylvester was so taken by surprise, so overcome by a nameless terror, as to be in capable of motion, and large drops of perspiration rolled down his pallid face. Recovering himself he roared out in a voice of thunder, "You infernal scoundrel, what are you doing here ?" And scrambling for ward the irate captain attempted to grapple with the dangerous foe. But the steward, quick as a flash of lightning, evaded the captain's blow, dealt him one as he glided by, and while Sylvester was floun dering around among the boxes and barrels, bewildered and half stun - ned, the Chinese steward sprang through the low door, darted out of the cabin and disappeared on deck. No one took particular notice of the fellow's movements as he sauntered carelesssly along, paus ing a moment by the iron cage which covered the main hatch. The latter was crowded with cool ies, and to them he addressed a few rapid, guttural sente.nces, at the same time applying a key to the door which he had purloined from the captain's state room. Glan ing quickly aft, he withdrew to one side, and at that instant a pro longed and terrible cry burst from the coolies, followed by a tremen dons rush up the ladders. With one bound the treacherous native sprang upon the nearest sentinel, and before the sailor, com pletely taken by surprise, could recover, his musket had been snatched from his hand and a blow from the same stretched the poor fellow lifeless on the deck. Like the rush of some mountain torrent the coolies swarmed on deck, carrying everything before them. The sentinels were litteral ly swallowedl up by the infuriated mob of yelling demons, and were never seen again. Maynard, together with the. Isecond mate and a man at the wheel, were the sole occupants of the quarter deck, and upon them, all unarmed as they were the mob rushed. Amid the din and uproar May nard heard the voiceof Capt. Syl vester calling upon him to jump through the skylight. "Jump, my lad, and bear a hand. I have the cabin door barrica ded." The mate required no second bid ding. With a shout to the second mate to follow he sprang through the frail structure, and the next instant the two officers were side by side with Sylvester, who hur riedly thrust into their hands a loaded revolver apiece. There was no time for congrat ulations, the aperture above their heads was darkened for a moment by a huge coolie, who was on the point of leaping after the fugitives when the crack of Maynard's re volver saved him the trouble, and he fell headlong into the cabin. Another and another followed in quick succession, but not a China man succeeded in gaining an en trance alive. -With a yell of baffled rage the coolies renewed the assault, but this time their efforts were direct ed against the doors of the for ward cabin. They speedily yield ed to the shower of blows, and in a few moments were reduced to so many splinters. But Captain Sylvester had not been idle. after recovering from the blow dealt him hy the steward. too intent upon the strange vessel to watch us. We'll make a dash for the main rigging, and under cover of the darkness there will be no trouble. Stand by, Hal pin." CA "I am ready and my revolver also," growled the second mate. "Are you, Captain Sylvester ?" "You have saved our lives; you lead and I will follow." "Then forward, and shoot the first one who stands in our way." fo And with a bound, the three H men cleared the barricade, gained col the deck, springing on the rail be- th fore the astonished coolies knew an what was going on. gr They rushed in a body towards in the three fugitives, but the rapid crack of the revolvers soon quelled de their ardor, and sent them howling ed to cover, while the whistling of TI a round shot above their heads re caused all to look to windward, he where a large heavy sparred ves- th sel, under all sail, loomed : up, the open ports revealing her deck crowded with men. th The coolies could make no use of the muskets they had wrested from the hands of the murdered i sentinels, having no ammunition, of and they had already expended te the charges with which they had been loaded. The then survivors were there- thi fore comparatively safe, and from' cle the main top where they had ta- ev ken refuge, contented themselves in watching the movements of the man-of-war. - ba She was soon within speaking th distance, and, ranging*close along side, took in at a glance the true wi state of affairs. Sheeling under ca the counter, scores of nimble sail- tb ors, armed to the teeth, leaped an aboard, the coolies sullenly retired to their quarters, and in ten min utes the fire was subdued, the coolies secured, and all danger over. Pl A sufficient number of sailors were detailed by the commander ha to work the ship into Singapore, o where a new crew was secured, B and the vessel enabled to continue be her voyage. But it is needless to an add that a sharp and vigilant look out was kept upon the treacherous de crowd.- fai The instigator of the mutiny, the Chinese steward, was placed in double irons, and confined in the run of the ship alongside the kegs sh of gold which he had so much coveted, anxd when he again sawm the sun it was to land on the shores of "the ever faithful isle." sc an His EXPERIENcE.--"NO, sir, I a never regretted marrying Mollie hero. She's been the making of tv me. I was an idle dog when I hc met her and thought of nothing in but spending my money at sa- h( loons just as fast as I earned it. p She was only a poor seamstress, that was industrious, honest, and hi frugal in habits, for she'd had a y hara row to hoe, poor girl I Well be for her sake I1 grew saving and careful, and soon had a little mo- clI ney in the bank. Finally we were married and after furnishing m, two rooms had just a hundred dol- st, lars left. it was not much but itb was our own. That was fourteen months back. Now we have this sh little house. We have carpets on th the floor of two rooms, nine pic- in tures on the walls, and nearly fifty books in that case of shelves up sh there which I made. Our house is small, but there is no envy; no oi fear of the future, fault-finding or selfishness in it. We have near- w ly a hundred dollars saved, besides these things in the hoise. Our ot rent is paid for the entire year till te next spring. We go to church y regularly, attend concerts and th lectures and amusement when the price is not too high. Some- w times the prices are so high we he cannot afford to go. Then we stay w at home, read to each other, have til visitors or go out a little while to re visit a few friends close by. 'I havn't been in a saloon since I ng was married, sir, and will nevero enter one again. I had rather these books pictures, and that or- g gan should be in our house than 01 in the house of the man who makes his saloon attractive so as hi to entice men there to spend their se earnings.

AN INDIAN's IDEA.-"If we give up our barren Black Hill country and go south to this strange land," said the chief Spotted Tail, at the Washington big talk, "what secu rity would we have that the white men would not come in a few moons and drive the poor Indians out ? If we can't retain land that has belonged to our fathers, where we were born, and where our chil dren were brought up, what guar antee have we that we will be suf fered to keep that which you give us again ?" When they were told that there was no money to give them for their country, Spotted Tail said : "When I came here expected to find everpbody rich. All the people you send out to us have heaps of big pockets, and they keep on filling them till they are satisfied, and then they go away. I thought everybody got rich in Washington; but I find everybody is poor-so poor that they want to take the poor Indian's land and give him nothing in return." Spotted Tail is a very remarkable looking Indian, and in dignity and true native breeding has more than once set the secretary of the interior an example in po liteness which he might have imita ted. PICKING THE EAns.-Picking the ears is a most mischievous practice ; in attempting to do this with hard substances an unlucky motion has many a time pierced the drum and made it as useless as a pierced India rubber life pre server ; nothing sharper or harder than the end of the little finger, with the nail pared, ought ever to be introduced into the ear, unless by a physician. Persons are often seen endeavoring to remove the "wax" of the ear with the head of a pin ; tbis ought never to be done; first, because it not only endangers the rupture of the ear by being pushed too far in, but if not so far, it may grate against the drum, excite inflammation and an ulcer which will finally eat all the parts away, especially of a scroflous constitution ; second, hard substances have often slipped in, and caused the necessity of painful, dangerous and'expensive operations to fish or cut out; third, the wax is manufactured by na ture to guard the entrance from dust, insects and unmodified cold air, and when it has subserved its purpose it becomes dry, scaly, light, and in this condition is easily pushed outside by new for aatis of wax within - SK &TING ON WHEELS. THE BELLES OF BRIGHTON GONE MAD OVER A RINK. A thrifty Yankee has opened a skating rink at Brighton, En gland. M. D. Conway, who vis ited it, thus writes: In front of it stood (it was about four in the afternoon) several scores of carriages, with liveried servants, and some of them mark ed with devices indicating the presence of aristocratic families. The rink covers about one acre of perfectly smo:>th stone. A fourth of it is divided off into what is termed the "nursery," being devo ted to those who are just learning. All have to go through the "nurs ery," for it does not follow that the skater on ice can skate on wheels. On the larger section the scene is most singular. Con siderably over a thousand gentle men and ladies are gliding about sometimes hand-in-hand, or arm in-arm, sometimes the gentleman leading backward, as he holds both hands of his fair partner, and at all times manifesting plainly that here is the paradise of flirtation. The accidents are fortunately few, for a fall on this stone pavement can be no slight matter. A noted belle of Brighton is at this mo ment laid up by an acccident suf. fered at the rink. All her upper teeth were pressed through her upper lip, the teeth becoming dis located, and she has been under the combined attentions of the surgeon and the dentist for a week. A second beauty has bro ken her thumb, and a third her leg; but they are reported to be hero ic, feeling that they suffered for a great cause, and complaining on ly that some little interval must elapse before they can again fly over the rink. One thing was es pecially observable, I thought, that no company of English ladies ever appeared out of doors in such real ly beautiful costumes before. It is true that when I selected, by the invitation of a Brighton friend, the lady that seemed to me the most beautiful and best dressed I was informed that she was an American; but the com placency with which I learned this did not prevent my saying that there was not an ugly or ill-dress ed woman among the gallant six hundred. There was not a high ly colored, not a sensational, not a "loud" dress among them. The dresses were short, though not so short as is usual among fair ska ters in America, and they were all free from any heaviness. There stood on the sides of the rink look ing on, a few ladies dressed in the "tight" French fashion, which is just beginning to appear among us, but that fashion was in strong contrast with the loose draperies of the skaters. If the new f'ash ion should become general over here there will have to be a spe cial skating costume for Brighton, for it is difficult to see how in the tight style any of the young dames could perform the graceful curves and brave evolutions which now excites so much admiration. I am told that the physicians de clare that for sanitary advantages the seaside air and bath are of little importance compared with this new exercise, which is grad. ually finding its way to all places of resort. The rink has already raised the price of real estate in Brighton, which has now become the city of butterflies. I suppose there never before were gathered elsewhere on the earth so many rich people with so much difficul ty in finding something to do with their money, and who so needed what the fortunate Yankee has supplied to them-a perpetual amusement. WHEN TO DO THE MENDING. Some years ago I heard the head of a family say she never did her mending until she needed the gar. ment. Indeed, I have often seen children fretted because a button was wanted or a string missing about their clothing, which had been hastily put away without examination. I urge that all oth er work should be laid aside when the laundry basket arrives, that the housewife may see for herself that each piece is in order as it is sorted; and if not, it should be repaired on the spot, not laid away in the drawer till to-morrow, for, nine chances out of ten, it will then lie there until needed. This system takes seldom more than one hour a week, even for a large family ; and it is altogether the most convenient in every way.

A mysterious story is told by i New Haven journal. A knot o girls stood chattering in a factory and began to talk of sudder deaths. It is not a very edifying subject for young ladies to con verse upon, and as the - talk weni on, nearly the whole knot became very much depressed in spirits One spirited girl, who was noi thus affected, placed on the work bench near one of the young girli a common land-turtle. The girl turned and saw it, gave a shriek which sounded elfish in intensity and immediately fell to the flooi in a faint, as though she had beer dead. This apparently led to a touch of horror in the minds ol the other girls, some of whom grew white in countenance, with a. set expression on their faces and for an instant, not a word or cry was uttered. Soon the same kind of thing happened to another of the girls. She fell to the :door in what looked like a dead faint or the trance of a person ~ex hausted by prolonged mental ex citement, leading to exhaustion Shortly another girl was seized with the same kind of an attack and she, too, yielded to the in fluence and was numbered witi those who had already given away One after another of the girli fainted and fell until no less that seven of the young ladies hai been brought low. The affair wae so unexpected that consternatiom or at least deep interest was showi by the workmen employed in th< men's department. Some of then grew pallid and tremulous as i with sudden fear, and pretty sooE one of them was taken with at attack similar to that which af flicted the young ladies. He ap parently summoned all the forcei of his mind and body, to resist th( mysterious tendency, but he, toc yielded and fainted away. Th4 thing began to look serious. Wha ailed everybody? was the questioi with everybody not immediatel2 affected by or under control of thi singular nervous dispensation, an< at this.juncture so painful was th sense of apprehension, that whel the foreman ordered a stoppage c the work and a dispersion of th work people to their homes, great relief was felt. All wer required to move off quietly, an by this judicious treatment n further demonstration became poi sible. GENIUs.-Alexander Hamilto remarked to an intimate friend "Men give me some credit for gi nius. All-the genius I have lie just in this: When I have a sul ject in hand I study it profoundla Day and night it is before me. explore it in all its bearings. M mind becomes pervaded with i Then the effort which I make th people are pleased to call the fra: of genius. It is the fruit of labc and thought." Mr Webster oia replied to a gentleman who presse him to speak on a subject of greg importance: "The subject inte: ests me deeply, but I have n( time. There, sir," pointing to huge pile of letters on the tabl, "is a pile of unanswered lettet to which I must reply before th close of the session (which we then three days off,) 1 have n time to master the subject so a to do it justice." "But, Mr. Wel ster, a few words from you woul do much to awaken public attei tion to it." "I? there is so muc weight in my words as you repri sent, it is because I do not eve allow myself to speak on any sul ject until my mind is imbued wit it." Demosthenes was once urge to make a speech on a sudden an great emergency. "I am not pr pared," said he, and obstinatel refused. The law of labor equally binding on genius an mediocrity. FUNNY NOTIONS ABOUT NEw PAPER.-An exchange says: There are no business men i the world so subject,to the sponj ing process, as publishers < newspapers. It really seem that public corporations, societie; and associations in general, an many persons have a funny n< tion about printers. They thin we ought to print, puff and pub,lis: all for nothing, that is, free gratih In other words, they seem astor ished if we ask half price onl; for an obituary notice, card c thanks, tribute of respect, a pei sonal communication, or anythin else that only interests a few psi sons and not the general readel They forget that it takee mone3 to pay the compositors-to) bua ink, type and paper, and lastlj they often forget to even thani you for gratuitously serving then C the pblic.
