The tea never have seen the Inside of a I doubt if it was anything more leaves of trees and shrubs.

An oldish man, a thorough sailor, very mtelli* aid the last to find fault, was se? as spokesman, and he put some of . te provisions in a kid, and we followed ;Tnm4o the mainmast. As I told you, it was evident the captain and mates looked for A protest, for all were oh deck. The hams of our spokesman was Herbert, and 0*8 Was English born. The captain came 1 to meet us as we grouped Herbert with hats off, and after us over he shouted out: d?n your eyes, why don't yon What is wanted of me?" ^i?tplease, shr," said Herbert, "we ^^thegrnb." 1 ciDh, you can't? You are probably dis Rppointed. You expected oyster soup, Java coffee, hot biscuit and honey, and your stomachs have gone back on you." , .4*Your honor,' but will yon please smell beef?" asked Herbert, advancing a of the beef, you hounds, you?" the captain. "Did the owners en to sail the ship or to smell of the beef? I sized you up on the . a lot of skulking sojers, and r^h^^piroof that I was right. Yon area s3t?etar~?d mutinous dog?, and now's ^t^ditim? to give you a lesson." v : .:WJUi that the three officers began the ;"'*$tack, never minding who' they' bit, and the watch ou deck forward with 7 The man at the wheel was, I The ship was rtonrng oft before a light breeze, and for fifteen minute 3 the three men bad it their, own way. Then the cap? tain's watch was called, the other sent be? low, and as we came on deck Capt Mc? Kay said: "There, curse yon for a lot of dock loaf? ers. I hope yon have found out who sails this ship,. The man who dares come aft with another complaint will get bis brains knocked out" There were nine of us In the captain's watch, which, as I told you, was really the second mate's watch?no captain standing a watch at sea unless he so wills. Every one of us had been struck or kicked, and two of the men had been sav? agely beaten on the bead and were cov? ered with blood. The name of the first mate, who now went below with the cap? tain, was McLogan. The name of the second mate was Andrews. He was a younger man than the others, and per? haps had more heart, for after a bit, while Herbert bad the wheel, he stopped near him and observed: "The old man is a Uttle*ough, but one of the best seamea out of Glasgow. Yon complained too soon." "But, Mr. Andrews, what are we to do for grub?" asked Herbert "There Isn't a man in the fo'caatle as can eat such stuff." "Well, it's not my lookout what the j owners furnish. Unless yon men want h?1 to pay yon will turn to and make the best of It" . That closed the conversation. Not a man of us spoke of mutiny or even the slightest-resistance to lawful authority. When, onr watch was up we turned in I and went to sleep. 11, for one, cherished the hope that the pro visions would be bet? ter in the morning. The officers had only to taste them to realize that they were to? tally 'anflt> ahd I hoped the captain would do this and thus do away with all cause for farther complaint. As the kids were brought forward at breakfast time, how? ever, we scented the stinking beef long I before It reached us, and we found the biscuit and tea as vile as ever. Having J eaten nothing since the previo as noon, and ] Ml of napping hearty men, yon can imag? I ?A that 'f?wejejsiarp' set. Not a man I *#us, hfcM u*f uwtla swallow that food, and- the kids and pannikins were left standing at the windlass for the cook to carry bac k with their contents untouched. I tte men tooled a* each aft er wtth troubled, faces, but there was no threat of mutiny. We went to onr work on empty stomachs, as also did the other. Watch, andj though the officers knew It, not a ' word was said. The men ehewed an extra quantity of tobacco, and hoped that noon J. would soften, the captain's heart . r Noon brought no change, and when I snppef was served and we found the same I grab placed before us, the men broke oat with curses, If the food bad. been eat? able, don't, you suppose that sailors, who had been from twenty-four to thirty hours Without' eating a mouthful, would have at least nibbled at it? I am telling yon what I afterward made affidavit to. II made repeated attempts to worry down j some of the meat, but each time if was re? jected. Some of the men who got a few I swallows of the tea down were made ] dreadfully sick. Agnin we went snppef I less, but' now the men began to assert that no law of the high seas permitted a . captain . to starve his crew. We would I wait until morning, and, If the food waa not changed, something must be done. (' I am sure the captain expected something to occur that night, for he was frequently on deck, aod the three officers.were more than once in consultation. The cook had reported, as we afterward learned, that none of the supper had been eaten, and the captain had replied: "Well, the dnrned sojers will either eat such grub as I set out, or live on their own i T am telling you truthfully. that not a I word of mutiny was whispered during the I night We made no threats, and had no I plan, but yet we all felt that the morning would bring a crisis of some sort ' Dur? ing the night In the-case of both watches, the officers were very abusive, and the men were struck or kicked without the j shadow of an excuse. When daylight I came, and we began to scrub down, the breeze.died quite away, and we lay be-' . calmed. We were at this time about 90 or 100 miles from the British coast I When it was time for breakfast both -watches were on deck, and. as the men I went to the cook's galley to receive their kids and pannikins all three officers showed up on deck. I was at the wheel, and I j saw that the captain and first mate had their revolvers. The kids were taken f 0 r - ward without a word The food had not I been changed, and the men pushed the I dishes away. If there was any growling I couldn't hear it The captain waited about ten minutes, and then seeing that I [ the men were not going to eat, he told the r second mate to order them aft All came j I in a body, aud all bore themselves respect- 1 "Look here, Herbert," said the captain, I addressing the sailor who had acted as spokesman on the previous occasion, "what is the matter with the grab?" I "It's bad, sir?unfit to eat," replied tho "That is, yon lazy lubbers have agreed among you to call it bad, and to make me put into some port??T 1 "Sir, there's never a man of us but I what is willing to. stand for the voyage I and work our best, but the grub, sir, beg j ging your pardon, was spoiled long enough I before it came on board. Will yon please j inspect it, air?" j "Not by a damned sight, and now we'll j see which end of this ship sails the other." I With that he rushed upon Herbert to strike him with his loaded weapon, while the mates seized belaying pine and dacWd I a Id knock down as many men as they I could. The sailors ran forward, and I I heard some of them begging for mercy. I The officers followed them, evidently de J terrnined to wreak savage vengeance, and j it was only when driven to the windlass I that the men turned. It was 0, case of I self defense. I could not well see what I followed, but I heard pistol shots, savage I cries, a great straggle, and, as it now I came on a dead calm, I left the wheel and I ran forward. AX was over when I got to J the foremast The three officers were I dead or dying, Herbert and another sailor I were dead, Md of the remainder of the I men at least five were seriously wounded I The mutiny hod not lasted above five j minutes. For a long time after I reached I the bow the men stood looking around J them without uttering a word Then, at I last, a Yankee sailor named Ben Lobdell, I who had a bullet in his left shoulder, I stood out a little from the rest and said: I "Mates, we have been driven to mutiny I and murder. Aye, every man of you I knows we had to turn to save our own I lives against those officers lying dead. It I has all come about through the bad grub. I shall now order the cook to prepare us breakfast, and after that is eaten we shall I consult as to what is to be done. Meon I while, as In duty bound, I will set a signal I of distress." Th*e steward got the flag from the locker I in the cabin and it was properly set I Then the hurts of the wounded were I looked to, and by that time breakfast was ready. It was served in our dishes and I eaten on deck, and not a man of us had a I word to say. Just as we were finishing I the cook and steward came out in com j pony and hoped wo would spare their I lives. Ben got up and replied I "Don't take us for either mutineers or I murderers. What has been done was j only in self defense. The life of every I man here la as safe as in his own home. I Now, then, the first thing is to see who of I the poor fellows lying on the decks has a bit of life left in him." I "The captain and first mate were dead I enough, as was the cose with the two I sailors, but the second mate hod life in I him. When the men were driven to bay I they turned and used their sheath knives I and the capstan bars. The second mate {had his left arm broken, and had received two stabs. We took him down to his I berth, removed his clothes, and dressed his harte, and when the steward had pre [ pored him a drink he opened his eyes, and I when he found that we were in possession j of the ship he said, in the presence of four I "I expected it would turn out this way, I bttt I had to obey orders. While you have I done for me I bear yon no grudge. If yon draw up a statement of how it came about, I will sign it" j T drew up a statement of fact and the I mate, who hadn't two hours to live, af? fixed his signature, and It was followed by the name of every man in the ship. Before noon he was dead, and after din? ner we buried all the bodies and made the ship tidy. By mutual consent Ben was made captain, and a sailor named Jock I Wonder was selected as mate. It was onr purpose to soil the ship bock to Glas? gow, and not a man wes allowed in the cabin,. nor were any cf the stores dis I tnrbed, except the provisions. The signal was kept flying all day, but owing to the calm we did not move half a mile. Just I at sundown a steamer ? enmo up with us, I sent a boat aboard, and when told of what I had happened she put several men aboard ? and got out a tow line and made fast to us. It was thus we returned to port, tail the news of our arrival and the mutiny kicked np a grand excitement. We were . at once put under .arrest, as we expected to be, and for the first week or two all the talk was to the effect that every man of us would be hanged. It didn't seem to occur to the people at large that wo could have any defense, and we were condemned long enough before the trial came on. The owners of the ship were rich as well as penurious, and they wanted us executed as a warning to other sailors. However, when the trial came on the gen? eral public got something to open their eyes. Our lawyers had had the provisions inspected by medical men, and had saved samples for the jury. The medical gen? tlemen affirmed -that no human-stomach could retain such provisions, and recom? mended that the owners be promptly prosecuted. Then wo had the name of the mate to the statement of facts, the testimony of the steward and cook, and it was shown that we had set a signal and. "behaved ourselves in an orderly way. ~ The case was decided in ten minutes, arid every man of us. was set at liberty. There was talk of suits against the ship? owners, but they sent an agent around to each one of us with a ?10 note, and we made no move- againBt them. Our trial 'arid the facts brought out brought to light other facts, one of which was that British sailors were treated-worse than curs, and were fed mostly on condemed stores. A social and political agitation resulted, and from it grew the government inspectors and the laws which give Sailor Jack the rights of a human being. . The move which PlimsoU made against overloading I -was an offshoot of our mutiny, and I have heard it declared that our adventure was the best thing that could have happened for sailors on any ocean.?New York Sun. Hainan Kemalns as Medicine. Such details as all these are apt tc sound to us strangely unreal as we read them somewhat in the-Jight of travelers' tales, with reference to. for away lands; but it certainly is startling whenj for the. first time, we realize lliow exactly descrip-"* tive they are of the medicine lore of our own ancestors?in truth-, to ithis day wo may find among ourselves some survivals of the -old superstitions still lingering in out of the way corners. Thus it Is only a few1, years since the siiull of a. suicide was used in -Caithness an a drinking cup for the feurebf -epilepsy. ' Dr. Arthur: Mitchell knows of d case in which the 'body of such a one was disinterred in order to obtain her skull for this purpose. It was, however, accounted a more sure specific for epilepsy to reduce part of the skull to powder and swaHow it. Even the moss which grew on such skulls was deemed a certain euro for various diseases. Nor was this simply a popular superstition. In the official Pharmacopoeia of the Col? lege of Physicians, of London, A. D. 1678, the skull of a man who has died a violent death and the horn of a unicorn appear as highly approved medicines. Again, in 1724, the same pharmacopreia mentions unicorn's horn, human fat and human skulls, dog's dung, toads, vipers and worms among the really valuable medical stores. The pharmacopoeia was revised in 1742, and various ingredients were re? jected, bnt centipedes, vipers and lizards were retained. Nor were these strange compounds pre? pared for human subjects only. In the "Angler's Vade Mecum," published in 1681, anglers are recommended i to use an ointment for the luring of fish, consisting, among other horrible ingredients, of man's fat, cat's fat, heron's fat, asafoetida, finely powdered mummy, camphor, oil of laven? der, etc., and it was added that man's fat could be obtained from the London chirur gcons concerned in anatomy. ?Miss C. F. Gordon Camming in Popular Science Monthly. _' Trying to Get a Drink; "Ah, good morning, good morning; fine morning," glibly uttered a man as he walked up to the bar ha a popular down town saloon. The bartender did not meet his advances with any degree of cordiality. "I'm one of the profession, you know," continued the visitor. "An old bartender myself, and I want to stand you off for a drink." "It don't go," replied the knight of the iigger. "The bartender racket is played out," and the visitor walked away with a sheepish look on his face. ' "That fellow,'' continued the dispenser of red liquor, as he deftly stirred up a whiisky cocktail,. "will try that same game at. a dozen dif? ferent places. Sometimes it will work, though at most saloons he will be refused. You have no idea of the number of times we have to refuse people credit. They adopt all sorts of schemes and devices to beat saloons out of drinks, but this ap? pealing I'm-a-barten der-my self racket is the latest one out. I probably give away a dozen or fifteen drinks a day, but if I complied with every request the figures would run up to 150. Sometimes I give a man a drink because I really think he needs it. I've seen men so nervous that I actually believe that nothing but a drink wordd prevent them from an attack of the snakes. When a man is as far gone as that it would be inhuman to refuse him whisky." "Do they ever return and pay you?" "Ob, yes, quite often; they're not all dead beats. We don't lose much by giv? ing credit, because we regulate our credit on business principles, and though I be? lieve a saloon bill cannot be collected by law, yet men will often pay their bar bill before they settle with the grocer."?Chi? cago Herald. A Horrible Ball Fight. A fearful spectacle was witnessed at Dax on the Adour, France, a few weeks ago. A band of Spanish bull fighters had Introduce* a powerful black steer upon whom Joselto, the matador, aimed a blow, but missed, and he was run down by the brute. A cry of ' terror arose. But Jo Belto was up again and seemed unhurt. He now succeeded in stabbing the bull at the chest, but the animal stood its ground. A second and third thrust had no better effect, although the man succeeded in pushing his weapon to the hilt into the animal, from which the blood ran in tor? rents. That was too much for the spec? tators. They began crying with pain, howling with disgust, and prepared to finish the cruel Spaniard. Several times ho still succeeded in piercing the steer with his sword, but could not stop the animal from constantly charging against his enemies. Now glasses and bottles and chairs were hurled by the spectators upon the Spaniard, who ran nwny, hand? bag his sword to another man, v, ho also pierced the bull again and again without finishing him. Several men then attacked the beast with swords and lances, and finally brought it down. But the spec taclo had been too much for tho auditory. There arose a fearful, cry of vengeance upon the Spaniards, and the high and strong inclosure was being attacked. The Spaniards, however, were fortunate enough to make their escape before the lynching parties could loy hold of them.? Chicago News. Prophecy Concerning Germany. It is declared that Prince William is tho kaiser's favorite. The people regard him as the next emperor, for the feeling is a settled one that the crown prince will not live to succeed the kaiser. Though young, he shows strength and courage, and in his own family brooks no interference. His wife is a year his senior, and a thoroughly German woman. The people say there will be no English influence from her, as from tho crown princess, who has been English from first to last?a clever, woman in many ways, but not clever in conAeal ing her lack of sympathy for German cus? toms and the German people. Then there is the prophecy brought for? ward by the German people, who are somewhat superstitious. Germany is to be greatest, it says, under a young ruler who has but one arm, and has four sons. He is to succeed an aged sovereign, carry on a great war successfully, and prove an? other Frederick the Great. The Germans see in this the destiny of Prince William, who was born with one nrm, partly de? formed, short ami stiff. And they see in his character all the requirements of the prophecy, even down to the four eons. But the power of Germany wanes after this ruler, and she is then to go down aud become an insignificant nation. So runs the prophecy.?Berlin Cor. New York Sun. Growing Demand for Watches.

A FATAL MISTAKE. ? ? i lg * *? A \ " The Cleveland (Ohio) Press, of February 23d, 188^ pub lished au account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med? ical men tniougnoiifcftie whole country, Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs., King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom? ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with' a ^ slight de? rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed ""by a "peculiar indescribable dis? tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as. a faint "all gone'* sensation^ a sticky slime collecting about '?the ieethj- .causing a disagree WbleMaste." This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became col(? and }?t?j&j a v ooH perspiratfortj,iTnerje. was"a constant tired and lan? guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to re? tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem? edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patient's life an. operation was justifi ' able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, l?83, the opera? tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Di\ I'errierj Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. CapUer, and Dr. Hailiweil of the Police Board. The operation consist? ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an examin? ation of the organs was made, but to the honor and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The pa? tient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the euects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia ana Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been liv? ing to-day.
