It is a worse thing than any gale that ever blew-—begius fair enough, sometimes; but how doesitend?

TWO DEAF-MUTFS PRISONPRS SURPRISE” A MAGISTRATE, :

Emile Durocher and Stanislaus Giroux, both deaf mutes, were arrested yesterday afternoon on suspicion of having picked the pockets of Mrs. Martin «f a purse con- taining a small sum of money. No sign of the purse or money was found upon them when searched at the police etation. This morning, when brought befire the Police Magistrate, to the surprise of every one present they beyan to sveak quite plainly, although unable to hear a word that was said to thew. The taculiy of speech bad been taught them, they said, in the Asylum on St. Denis street. Previous to. entermyg that institution, they bad never been able to utter a sinigle word, By in ently watching the motions of the lips of the person speak- ing to them, they were able quite readily to comprehend what was said. They

‘seemed overcome by the situation they were

placed in, and earnestly protested their innocence. As there were absolutely no

served out freely; men in good humor— and I have got thiir ear. And now I'll tell you why it won’t suit your little game to blacken me to the crew, upon the bare chance of a mutiny.’

| He paused fora moment, then resumed in a lower tone, and revealed himself the extraordinary man he was.

. j & | ‘You see, sir,’ said he, ‘when a man is. New Features, Incontestible Policies, Prompt very ready to suspect me, I always sus-'

pect him. Now, you was uncommon ready to suspect me. You didn’t wait until you came on board; and began the game ashore. Oh, what! that makes you open one eye, does it? You thought I didn’t , know you again. Knew you, my man, the moment youcame aboard. I never for- get a face; and disguises don’t pass on me.’ \

| It was now Hazel’s turn to look anxious and discom posed.

| ‘So, then, the moment I saw you suspec- |

ted me, I was down upon you. Well, you come aboard under false colors. We didn’t | want achap like yon in the ship; but you

would come. What is the bloke efter! says |

could do worse, unless she went to Old Nick fora mate. it is my man. I have been in trouble myself, and don’t want to be hard on a devil, just because he sails under an alias, and lies as near the wind as he can to | Weather the beaks and bobbies. But one good turn deserves another. Keep your | dirty suspicions to yourself; if you dare to open your lips to the men, in five minutes, ‘or less than that, you shall be in irons, and confined to your cabin ; and we'll put you ashore at the first port that flies the British flag, and hand you over to the authorities, till one of her majesty’s cruisers sends in a boat for you.”

At this threat, Mr. Hazel hung his head

in confusion and dismay.

‘Come, get out of my cabin, Parson | Alias,” shouted the mate; ‘‘and belay your foul tongue in this ship, and don’t make an ‘enemy of Joe Wylie, a man that will cat ‘you up else, and spit you out again, and ‘never brag. Sheer cff, I say, and be durned ito you.’ | Mr. Hagel, with a pale face and sick

heart, looked aghast at this dangerous man, who could be fox or tiger as the occa- sion demanded.

Surprised, alarmed, outwitted and out- menaced, he retired with disordered coun- tenance and uneven steps, and hid himself in his own cabin. | Themore he weighed the whole situation,

the more clearly did he see that he was atte rly powerless in the hands of Wylie. _ Askipper is an emperor; and Hudson |had the power to iron him, and set him on shore at the nearest port. The right to do it was another matter; but even on that head Wylie could furnish a | plausible excuse for the act. Retri- ‘bution, if it came at all, would not be \severe, and would be three cr four years ‘coming; and who fears it much, when it is so dilatory, and so weak, and so doubtful into the bargain ?

He succumbed in silence for two days; and then, in spite of Wylie’s threat, he made some timid attempt te approach the subject with Welch and Cooper, but a sailor came up instantly, and sent them forward to reef topsaile. And, whenever he tried to enter into conversasion with the pair, some sailor or other was sure to come and listen.

Then he saw that he was spotted; or, as we say now-a-days, picketed.

He was at his wits’ end.

He tried his Jast throw. He wrote a few lines to Miss Rolleston, requesting an interview. Aware of the diiticulties he had to encounter here, he stilled his heart by main force, and wrote in terms carefully measured. He begged her to believe he had no design to intrude upon her, without absolute necessity, and for her own good. Respect for her own wishes forbade this, and also his self-respect.

‘But,’ he said, ‘l have made a terrible discovery. The mate and captain certainly intend to cast away this ship. No doubt they will try and not sacrifice their own lives and ours; but risk them they must, in the very nature of things. Before troubling you, I have tried all [ could, in the way of persuasion and menace; but am defeated. So now it resta with yoo. Yon, alone, can save us all. I wiil tell you how, if you will restrain your repugnance, and accord meashortinterview. Need I say no other subject will be introduced by me? In England,should we ever reach it, I may, perhaps, try to take measures to regain ‘your good opinion; but here, I am aware, that is impossible; and I shall make no at- tempt in that direction, upon my honor.’

To this came a prompt and feminine reply:

The surgeon, ahumane man, urged hin to drink sherry, and take a strong exercise.

But persons afflicted with that distressing malady are obstinately set against thore ‘things which tend to cure it, this is a fea-

ture of the disease. Mr. Hazel was no ex- ception. And then his heart had received so many blows,it had no power to resist the depressing effect of his disorder. He took no exercise; he ate little food. He lay, ‘listless and dejected, about the deck, and _ let disease do what it p'eased with him,

The surgeon shook his head, and told Hudson the parson was booked.

‘And good 1iddance of bad rubbish!’ was that worthy’s gracious comment.

The ship now encountered an adverse gale, and,for three whole days, under close- ‘reefed topsails—she was always a wet ship ‘under stress of weather—and she took in a good deal of water on this occasion. On

After working through one watch, the | well was sounded again, and the water was so much reduced that the gangs were taken ‘off; and the ship being now becalmed, ‘and the weather lovely, the men were ‘allowed to dance upon deck to the boat- | swain’s fiddle.

While this pastime went on, the sun, large and red, reached the horizon, and \diffusel a roseate light over the entire ocean,

Narrow Escape rrom A Hornipie Dears, — Mr. Hogh P. Kerr, Conuuetr, st. John, was successful, on Saturday jast, in saving the lite of a passenger near Anayence station. It scems that two «f the passengers, said to belong to Hiil-boro, were ip an intoxicated state and kept moving in and out of the cars while in motion, At the station before men- tion d the accommodeton train stopped on a siing to allow the «zpress to pars, and one of the men Jelt the car to go to the station, While crossiog the track be stumbied and fell across the rails and there jJaid, apparently ‘tunned by the fall, but perhaps, more stupe- fied from liquor. Just at this time the ex- press, in charge of Conductor Triheman, came thundering along. Mr kerr who was stand- ing on the steps of the car attached to the train on the siding, wilh great presence of mind and thoughtiulness, *prang to the unfortunate mans side, and with a super- human effurt succeeded in shoving him off the rails and under the platform, Mr. Kerr had to recross the track im front of the express. There was no time for reflection. With a lively bound he eacceeded in getting out of the way when the locomotive dashed past, touching his coat tails. Both the reseued avd the rescuer were congratulated on their parrow escape from a terrible death. Instead of returning thanks the rescued man showed his ingratitude by indulging in profanity, which so shocked the other passengers in the cars that the conductor removed the unruly fellow to the baggage car in which he rode as far as Sussex where he got off.

Joun SwiyTon, in bis paper, bas been mak- ing some interesting statistical observations relative to the wealth of William H. Vander- bilt. He assumesthat if Mr. Vanderbilt's fortune of $200,000,000 was converted into a solid bar of gold it would require 7,000 very able-bodied men to carry the beautiful ingot. If turned into bright ilten eagles it would tax the capacity of 25 freight cars to traneport the precious metal.
