CONQUERING A SEA-DOG.
Some years ago, when the old ship 'Lightheart'
was new and staunch, and when I
had command of her, there happened on
board an incident, over which I have laughed
many a time, when memory has brought
it back to me. I loaded at Mobile with cotton
and run to Liverpool. Among my crew
was a man named Rannot?Sam, we always
called him. He was one of the largest formed
men I ever saw, aod came from somewhere
in New England. He stood six feet
and five inches in hi? bare feet, and was as
stout and bulky in proportion. He had one
fault, and that was an inordinate pride of
strength. lie was not quarrelsome, nor had
he a revengeful point in his character, and
jet he was contioually pesteriDg and annoying
the crew. Hardly a day passed that be
did not give one or more of them bodily
pain by his freaks. He would catch a poor
fellow by the legs, aod swing him over his
bead, at the imminent risk of smashing bis
brains out against the mast or bulwarks, and
then be would laugh hugely at the poor
man's fright. Sometimes be would seize a
man by the arms, and lay him upon the deck,
and in no very easy manner, either. It was
of no use for the men to remonstrate, for
he wduld be sure to punish them in some
way.
Of course I forbade Sam from doing such
things; but he could not remember my orders
longer than over one night. The love
of 'fun,' as he called it, was fixed too strongly
upon him, and it could not be taken out
of him. He did not realize how unpleasant
his pranks were, nor did he know that the
rest of the crew had grown to dislike him.
They had adopted many expedients to cure
him, but they all failed, and though he had
often been made the but of practical jokes?
auoh as sudden drenching of cold sea-water
while he slept, and other things equally unpleasant?yet
he always paid his tormentors
off with interest. He was, in fact, the worst
practical joker I ever saw, and not a whit,
did he care, so long as he exhibited his herculean
strength, and broke no bones.
When my ship arrived at Mobile, on the
retorn voyage, another cargo of cotton was
ready for me, and I was ordered to load and
be off as quick as possible. But no sooner
was the ship cleared, than my men?all but
Sam Kannot?came and informed me that
they could not go with me again unless Sam
was discharged. I was not prepared for this.
At heavy work Sam was worth any three
other men on board, and always willing and
ready. Yet I knew how the crew suffered
fiCom his thoughtless pranks, and I conld not
ibl&me them. I told the men to come to me
on the following day, and I would give tha.m
an audience.
At first I thought of promising them that
I would see that the old sea-dog did not annoy
them any more, but I soon convinoed
myself that that would be of no use, Sam
would cut up his capers when I could not
see him. and the men would not reDort him
every time he hurt them. But soon a Dew
idea entered my head. I had a brother, who
owned a large cotton plantation on the Chickasaw.
His place was not over fifteen miles
from Mobile, and he had just the man I
wanted?or, he did have when I saw him
last. So out to my brother's I rode that
very night, and the first person I met near
the house, was the very man I wanted. It
was Cato, a negro about thirty years of age,
aDd built after the fashion of a Devon bull.
I knew the boy had the reputation of being
the strongest person iD the State, and I think
heyvas. He was not over five feet ten inches
tall, and though he was built thick and
stroDg, yet he did not show half of his mus?i?
_k? j v,;? i
uuiai puwcr nucu uuvcicu nitu uio ucuai
clothing. His big arms were like iroD, and
his breast and shoulders like a great bundle
of wire done up in raw ox-hide.
I bantered my brother to let me have
Cato for one or two voyages. "Take him in
welcome, said he. "He's getting too important
here."
"What?is he ugly ?" I asked.
"0, no; just the other way. He's too
good natured altogether. He sets the very
8ancbo iDto the other boys. I've made too
much of him."
"But wiil he work ?"
"Yes."
So I got Cato for twelve dollars a month
as long as I wanted him, with the privilege
of having him for one cruise only for nothing.
But I took him "for bettor or for
worse," and agreed to pay for his services.
On the next day I went onboard the ship,
and when the men came to me for my answer,
I asked them if they would sail with
Sam if I would produce a quiet, inoffensive
man who could handle him, and take said man
to sea with me. They said they would. I
knew they would?they would have gone
with me for nothing, for the sake of seeing
Sam conquered. I told them he should be,
and enjoined them to secresy, which they
promised.
When Cato learned that he was going to
sea with me, he was beside himself with joy,
and when I came to tell him what I wanted
of him, he laughed till the tears rolled down
his great black cheeks.
Ou the very day of sailing I brought Cato
on board. At first the ineu exhibited some
signs of dislike, but when they found what
a jolly, good-hearted old fellow he was, they
gave him their hands. Sam Rannot winked
prodigiously when he saw the new man, and
more than once he whispered to those near
him : " There'll be fun afore long."
On the third day out we had got everything
snug and trim, save clearing and covering
the long-boat, and now the crew could
find time to snooze by daylight. It was in
the afternoon, the wind was from southward
and westward, and we had it upon the starboard
beam, the ship bowling along at the
rate of about six knots. Cato sat upon the
combings of the main hatch, and Sam was
slowly approaching him, not very unlike as
a dog sometimes approaches a smaller animal
which it never before saw.
"Say, blacky, git up," ordered Sara, with
a grin, at the same time looking around to
see if the rest of the crew were ready to enjoy
the sport.
"A yah?yah?wouldn't make a poor feller
h'ist now, ch ?"
"Yes git up."
"Don't."
"I say?git up!"
"Wha' for?"
"Fun."
"Now you jes' look heah, Sam: you
s'pose you fool wid dis chlie, eh ? If you
do, it's all right But I s'pecs you'll git
hurt, and den you'll git mad, eh ?"
This was spoken with the most impetur
able gravity, and the negro slowly arose while
he spoke, looking as demure as a child.
"Who'll git hurt ?" asked Sam, with a
flourish.
"I s'pec's you."
"How ?"
"Foolin' wid me."
"Now you jest set rite down on them
com'in's agin," uttered Sam, at the same
time laying both his hands on Cato's shoulders.
The negroe's brown eyes sparkled, and a
broad grin broke over his face as he felt
Sam's hands upon him; but without speaking
placed one of his huge black paws upon
p the joker's jacket collar, and with the othther
he seized him by the seat of the trowsers.
One deep breath came up from Cato's
throat like the puff of a locomotive?then
the great corde of his neck and arras started
out like hawsers, and when he lifted himself
up, the giant form of Sam Racnot was
swayed aloft above his woolly head. A moment
he looked about him, and he saw the
long-boat behind him, nearly half fnll of
rain-water.
"A-yah?yah, mas'r Sam. Cool 'am off!"
And as he spoke, he dumped the astounded
giant over into the long-boat, and as he let
go his hold, the massive body splashed in the
deep, dirty water.
All the night before it had rained hard,
and as the large boat had not been covered,
and the plug being in, she was of course well
filled. At any rate, there was enough water
to completely submerge the victim. In an
instant all hands gathered about the boat,
myself among the rest. First we heard a
terrible sputtering, and puffing and blowing,
like a hippopotamus just come to land, and
in a moment more Sam's sandy head, all
dripping and soaked, appeared above the rail.
He saw us all standing there with convulsions
of restrained mirth upon our faces, and
for some seconds he moved notahair. Never
before did I see such utter misery?such unmitigated
woe, as dwelt upon that face.?
Edwin Forrest's
Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone!"
is nothing to it. Most truly bad Sam lost
all his "pride, pomp and circumstance."
"'Spec's I didn't hurt you much eh ?" uttered
Cato, with becoming gravity.
But it was too much for us. Poor Sam's
look at the black conqueror upset the cup,
and wo burst. With a deep groan the vanquished
man crawled over on the other side
of the boat and got out, and then made his
way below. Half an hour afterwards he
came on deck with dry clothes on, and hav
ing hung his wet ones in tne rigging to ury,
he turned to where Cato stood. He surveyed
the negro from head to foot several times,
and finally he placed his band upon the arms
that had lifted him so easily. felt of
their cable-like surface a moment, and then
he said, in a sad tone, while he shook his
head dubiously:
"It's no use ! You're atgrcat nigger !"
And that was the last of Sam Rannot's
mischief. His pride of physical power was
broken, for he had found his superior, and
he settled down into a quiet, orderly seaman.
I feared at first that he might seek some revenge
upon Cato, but he was too noble for
that. He knew that he had invited the attack,
and as soon as the first smart of pain
had gone, he and his conqueror were fast
and firm friends.
THE PRINCE AND THE BARKER.
A great many years ago or somewhere
thereabouts, when the people of this country
were at loggerheads with England, and
warlike feeling was turned upon the highest
notch against the British, by some means or
other, it so fell out that the Prince of Wales
(afterwards William the Fourth, it is probably)
being in the English fleet off N. York,
thought he would step ashore, take a tramp
around, incog., of course, and see what was
going on. The Prince was a "high lark,"
fond of fun and fashions, and finally found
himself in Boston, where he would have
been a glorious "spec" for some one, had
they known and nabbed his royal highness.
The Prince stepped into a barber's shop?
the building yet extant upon Hanover street,
although the dramtispcrsoncc have all made
their exit?to get shaved, just like other
metropolitans. The barber was out, but buxom
and propossessing wife was on hand, and
I took off his royal higbnesse's beard in as
I ready a manner as could any barber or valet
I tk a nnoratinn nxror + irtf>nl?r I
priDce gave the woman, a guinea, and she
was about to hand over the chaDge, he laughingly
said:
"Oh, lceep it, woman, keep it all, by the
laws ! it's worth twenty guineas to be shaved
by a lass, and such a pretty one, too!" and
throwing his arms about the neck of the barber-ess,
his royal highness vouchsafed her a
most natural and comely kiss. The woman
of course blushed and resisted, and looked
very awkward and wrathy.
"0, never mind that, my pretty, shaver,"
said the royal customer, "and when your
husband returns tell him youv'e bee^ kissed
by the Prince of Wales.
But the embryo kipg.-upon facing the
door to make his exit, vafflfet by the barber
himself, who, hearinjunMphe prince said,
raised his plebian foot^^^ave his retreating
highness, a most formidable kick, exclaiming:
"Yes, sir, and now, when you get home,
i again, please to say that you were decently
kick* <1 by a Boston barber.
The Babes in the "Wood"?Liquor
i with a Body to it.?We clip the follow-j
ing from the Madison Courier. It will be
i seen that the babes were concealed in the
| wood in the body and spirit:
"We learn that a ten gallon keg of brandy
I was found, a week or so ago, in the Union
j rail-road station at Indianapolis. It was un|
marked and unclaimed, and had lain in the
j station so long that the oldest inhabitant |
thereof did not know whence it came. The
ten gallons had not even a 'traditionary history.'
A prying individual belonging about
1 the station bored a hole in the he;:, drank
and pronounced the contents to be the old
French brandy, with a peculiarly rich flavor,
j The editors of the papers, noising about in
: search of items, found this keg; ihey drank
I and pronounced the liqur good. The Un:on
; station was well attended by the editors duj
ring au eutirc week. The principals?the j
chaps as write the heavy leaders?and the
locals might be seen at the station watching
the arrival of every train, 'to see who1
was couihg.' !>ut, alas!' there must be an j
I end to all sublunary things?the brandy 'gin
! cout.' The empty "ask was rolled out, in
j doing which the head dropped out, and lo !
iuside were the remains of two deformed
j babies, united together Siamese fashion.?
' The 'peculiar flavor' of the brady was aci
counted for. The aforesaid editors have
! drank a double portion of mean whisky since^
to wash that 'peculiar flavor' out of their
throats."
The Last Ledger Story.?The Salem
(Mass) Register tells a story of a teaoher in a
district* school in that neighborhood, who
was in the habit of questionfng the children
under his oharge as to what they knew of various
historical characters they happen to
meet with in their books. A few days ago
the name of Washington occured in the morning
lesson, and those who had anything to
say about him were asked to raise their
hands. Of course up went all hands, and.
young America once more paid tribute to
him "who was first," etc.
" Ho never told a lie," shouted one.
"Ate outof a tin plate all through the war."
Never smiled for nine years," cried a
third.
"He was the father of the country," piped
several.
" Edward Everett it getting money to buy
his grave," and so forth.
"Now then," said the teacher, "who can
tell me about Edward Everett ?"
No hand was raised.
The teacher, somewhat suprised?"Is
there no one here who knows anything about
Edward Everett ?"
No hand was up.
"Well, we shall see what we can find out
about Edward Everett before to-morrow."
P. M.?Before school opens, up runs a
girl in great excitement, and the teacher enters
the school room.
"I know something about Edward Everett."
"Well what is it?" asked the teacher eagerly.
"He writes for the New York Ledger."?
She had read it in nice large letters on the
fence as she went homo.
POPPING THE QUESTION.
The Cleveland Plaindcaler has a correspondent,
one Artemas Ward, who is not
much on spelling, but powerful in description.
He gives the following episode in his courting
experience:
Genz?Ime in a sad & senttermental
Mood ternite. I thawt at 1st Id kourt the
Muze & did so try to do, but the Muse fused
to be kourted & so methinks I'll let mi
thawts express themselves in prose & speaking
of kourting remiues me of how I wood
and one Mrs. A. Ward, which I desay will
interest readers of yure valuable paper.?
Twas a carm still nite in Joon, when al natur
was husht & nary Zeffer disturbed the
serene silents, I sot with the objek of mi
heart's affekshuns on the fensevuv her father's
pastur. I had experiunsed a hankerin
after hur for sum time, but darsun p reclame
mi pashun. Wall, we sot there on the fense
red as the Baldinsville skool hous when it
was fust painted, & lookin very cimpul, I
make no dowt. My left arm was okupide in
ballusin myself on the fense while my rite
was wounded afiekshunitly round her waste.
Sez I, "Zusaner, I thinks very much of
yu," & I side deeply.
Sez she, "Howyou do run on."
Sez I, "I wish there was windows to my
sole suz yu cood see sum of my feelins."
I pawsed heer, but as she made no reply I
continured in the following strane.
"Ar cood yer know the sleeplis nitcs I
pars on yure account, how vittles has seast
to be actractivc to me & how my limbs is
shrunk up yu woodn't dowt me not by no
meens. Gaize on this wastin form & these
sunkin ize," I cride, jumping up & I shud
hav continered some time longer prooiy, nut
unfortinetly I lost my ballunse & fell over
in the paster ker smash, teeriu mi closo and
severely damagin miself ginerally. Suzannar I
sprung to mi assistants & dragged me 4t'i in
dubble quick time. Then drawin herself up
to her full hite, sed :
'<1 won't listen to yur infernal noncents
eny longer. Jest you sa rite out what you
are driven at. If you mean getting hitched
Ime in!"
I considered that air enuf for al practical
purposes and we went to the parson's at onct
& was immejitly made 1.
It is stated that the following notice
is posted over the bridge in the town of
Athens, Georgia:
"Any person driving over this bridge: in a
pace faster than a walk, shall, if a white
person, be fined five dollars; if a negro, receive
twenty-five lashes?half the penalty to
be bestowed on the informer."
The above reminds us of the following:?
In the colonial days of Virginia, the penalty
for shooting a deer out of season, was forty
stripes, or so many pounds of tobacco, one
half to the informer, the other half to the
King. A poor man just emerging from a
long illness, and without food in his house,
shot a deer in violation of the game law.?
He was arrigned by a malicious informer before
a neighboring justice. The sympathies
of the neighbors and of the magistrate were
with the poor man, aod the feeling ran high
against his accuser. The case, however, was
a plain one, and the magistrate was compelled
to pronounce sentence. "I find the ac-'
cused guilty," said he, "and the law must
have its course. The fine he is unable to
pay. I order, therefore, the other penalty?
forty lashes. Take the informer out, and
give him his half, and if KiDg George ever
comes along this way, give him his." The
sentence was executed "with a will," and
amid loud applause.
ggy There are seven reasons why farmers
are healthier than professional men, viz :
1. They work more and develop all the
leading muscles of the body.
2. They take theirexercise in theopen air,
and breathe a greater amount of oxygen.
3. Their food and drinks are commonly
less adulterated and far more simple.
4. They do not overwork their brain as
much as indrustrious professional men.
5. They take their sleep commonly during
the hours of darkness, and not try to turn
day into night.
G. They are not so ambitious anc do not
wear themselves out so rapidly in the contest
of rivalry.
7. Their pleasures are simple and less exhausting.
"What's your buisness, my friend !"
said Mr. O'Grady to a rough-looking specimen
of the Emerald Isle,? 'Sure," returned
the latter, "didn't Mulroony's wife tell me
your honor was wantin' a boy?" "And do
you call yourself a boy ?" asked the barrister.
"Why, do I look like a girl ?" was Pat's
quick rejoinder.
A druggist seut his Irish porter into
the darkened cellar; soon after, hearing a
noise, he went to the opening and called out:
Patrick, keep your eyes skinned.'
?Och ! divil an eye,' roared Pat, 'but it's
my nose that's skint intirely !'

SINGER'S SEWING MACHINES.
Prices Reduced to $50, $75, $110, and $125.
THE plain reason why Singer's Sewing-Mnchines
have always sold readily at a higher
average price than any other, is that they are bet
ter, more durablej more reliable, capable of doing a
much greater variety of work, and earning more
money. Long-continued popularity is proof of
sterling merit. In the purchase of what are called
cheap Sewing-Machines, thousands have been
deceived and disappointed, but with Singer's
Machines there is never my failure or mistake.
singer's new family sewing-machine,
the price of which is only $50, is a light and elegantly
decorated Machine, capable of performing,
in the best style, all the sewing of a private family.
It has secured a great reputation during the
few months since it was first offered to the public.
singer's transverse shuttle-machine,
tn ho onld nt. 575. is a Machine entirelv new in its
arrangement; it is very beautiful, motes rapidly
and very easily, and, for family use and light
manufacturing purposes, is the very best and
cheapest Mnchinc ever offered to the public.?
These Machines are being increased in number as
rapidly as possible, and, yet the demand for them
cannot be fully supplied.
SINGER'S NO. 1 STANDARD SHUTTLE-MACHINE,
formerly sold at $135, but now reduced to $110, is
too well known all over the world to need any
description. Every sort of work, coarse or fine,
can be done with it.
SINGER'S NO. 2 STANDARD SHUTTLE-MACHINE.
This is the favorite manufacturing Machine
every where. The size of the Machine gives ample
space for almost every description of work,
which together with its admirable"working qualities,
gives it a decided advantage. Price, with
table complete, $125.
Since the great redaction in the price of these
Standard Machines, .on the 1st of October, 1858,
the sale of them has increased fourfold.
All of Singer's Machines make the interlocked
stitch with two threads, which is the best stitch
known. Every person desiring to procure full
and reliable information about Sewing Machines,
their sizes, prices, working capacities, and the
best methods of purchasing, can obtain it by
sending for a copy of 1. M. Singer ? Co'a Gazette,

Viz: That Prof. Wood's Hair EeBtorative
Will preserve infallibly the growth and color of
the hair, If need two or three times a week, to any imaginable
age. Perfectly, restore the gray, cover the bold with
nature's own ornament, the hair; make It more soft and
beautiful than any oil, and preserve the scalp free from all
disease to the greatest age. Statesmon, Judges, Attorneys, i
Doctors, Clergymen, Professional men and Gentlemen and
Ladles of all classes, all over the world, bear testimony that
we do not say too much In Its favor. Head the Mowing,

prof. 0. J. Wood?Dear sir: Some time last summer i
we were induced to use some of your Hair Restorative, and ,
Its effects were so wonderful, Wo feel It our duty to you and
the afflicted, to report it. " ?
Our little son's head for some time had been perfectly covered
with sores, and some called it scald head. The hair almost
entirely came off in consequence, when a friend, seeing
hL? sufferings, advised us to use yonr Restorative, we did 1
so with little hope of success, but to our surprise, and that of
oil rtttr fn'nn/lo a vfqwtv f.tir nnwllaoflnna vomnwnrl thn rlloAftBA

entirely, and a new and luxuriant crop of hair soon started
oat, and we con now say that our boy has a healthy a scalp
and as luxuriant a crop of hair as any other child. We can,
therefore, and do hereby, recommend your Restorative, as a
perfect remedy for all diseases of the scalp andiair. We
are yffUra respectfully,
Geo. W. Hiooinbotham, Saiuh A. Hiooinbotium.
Pro. Wood?Dear Sir: My hair had for several years,
been becoming prematurely gray, accompanied by a harshness
which rendered the constant application of oil necessary
In dressing it. When I commenced using your Hair Restorer
about two month ago it was in that condition; and
having continued its use till within the last tbreo weeks, it
has tnrned to its natural color, and assumed a softness and
lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced by the application
of oils or any other preparation I have ever used. -1
regard it as an Indispensable article for every lady's toilet,
whether to be used as a Hair Restorative or for the simple
purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have permission
to refer to me all who entertain any doubt of its performing
all that la claimed for it.

Prof. Wood?Dear 81r: By the advice of a friend of
mlno, who had been using your Hair Restorative, I was induced
to try it I had tne fever, some time last May, and
nearly every bairln my head came out. Now my hair has
come In a great deal thicker than ever it was. Nothing but
a duty and sympathy that I feel to communicate to others
who are afflicted as I have been, would Induce me to give
this public acknowledgement of the benefit I have received
from Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative.
Yours Respectfully,- A. R. JACOBS.
