ILY [I-XAMINER.

THE PIRATE,

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXVI.

(Continued )

“Why, then, I tell you,.you shan’t!” said Bunce ; “ for I'll be d—d if any one shall kiss Minna, but one, and that’s neither you nor I; and her other little bit of a consort shall ‘scape for company ;—there are plenty of willing wenches in Orkney! hud so, now I think on it, these girls shall go down below, and bolt themselves into a cabin ; and we shall have the punch up here on deck, al fresco, as the old gentleman proposes.”

‘““Why, Jack, I wish you knew your own mind,” said Fletcher; ‘‘I1 haye been your messmate these two years, and I love you; and yet flay me like a wild bullock, if you have not as many humors as a monkey !—And what shall we have to make a little fun of, since you have sent the girls down below ?”

**Why, we will have Master Punch-maker here,” answered Bune, *‘ to give us toasts, and sing us songs. ~ And, in the meantime, you there, stand by sheets and tacks, and get her under way!—and you, steersman, as \ou would k your brains in your skull, keep her under the stern of the sloop.—If you attempt to play us any trick, I will scuttle your sconce as if it were an oli! calabash !”

The vessel was accordingly got under way, and moved slowly on in the wake of the sloop, which, as had been previously agreed upon, held her course not to return to the Bay of Kirkwall, but for an excellent roadstead called Inganess Bay, formed by a promontory which extends to the eastward two or three miles from the Orcadian metropolis, and where the vessels might conveniently lie at anchor, while the rovers maintained any communication wich the Magistrates which the new state of things seemed to require.

Meantime Claud Halcro had exerted his utmost talents in compounding a bucketfull of punch for the use of the pirates, which they drank out of large cans; the ordinary seamen, as well as Bunce and Fletcher, who acted as officers, dipping them into the bucket with very little ceremony, as they cameand went upon their duty. Magnus, who was particularly apprehensive that liquor might awaken the brutal passions of these desperadoes, was yet so much astonished at the quantities which he saw them drink, without pruducing any visible effect upon their reason, that he could not help express- ing his surprise to Bunce himself, who wild as he was, yet appeared by far the most civil and conversable of his party, and whom he was, perhaps, desirous to conciliate, by a compliment of which all boon topers knows the value.

** Bones of Saint Magnus !” said the Udaller ‘* 1 used to think I took of can like a gentle- man ; but to for yeu men swallow, Captain one would think their stomachs were as bottomless as the hole of Laifall in Foula, which I have sounded myself with a line of a hundred fathoms. By my soul, the Bicker of Saint Magnus were but a sip to them !"

** In our way of life, sir,” answered Bunce, “there is no stint till duty calls, or the puncheon is drunk out.”

“* By my word, sir,” said Claud Halcro, ‘“‘ I believe there is not one of your people but could drink out the mickle bicker of Sca which was always offered to the Bishop of

Orkney brimful of the best bunmock that | F

ever was brewed.”

“If drinking could make them bishops,” said Bunce, ‘‘I should have a reverend crew of them, but, as they have no other clerical qualities about them, Ido not propose that they shall get drunk to-day; so we will cut our drink with a song.”

‘And I'll sing it, by—————!” said or swore Dick Fletcher, and instantly struck up the old ditty,—-

“It was a ship and a ship of fame Launch’d off the stocks, bound for the main, Witd an hundred and fifty brisk young men All pick’d and chosen ever s one.”

** would sooner he keel-hauled than hear that song over again,” said Bunce; and con- found your lantern jaws, you can squeeze nothing else ovt of them!”

** By ,’ said Fletcher, ‘I will sing my song, whether you like itorno;"” and again he sung with the doleful tone of a north- easter whistling through sheet and shrouds,--

“ Captain Glen was our captain’s name ; A very gallant and brisk young man ; As bold a sailor as e’er went to sea, And we were bound for High Barbary.”

**T tell you again,” said Bunce, ‘‘we will have none of your sereech-owl music here ; and I'll be d——d if you shall sit here and make that infernal noise !”

““Why, then, I'll tell you what,” said Fletcher, getting up, “I'll sing when I walk about, and I hope there is no harm in that, Jack Bunee.” And so, getting up from. his seat, he began to walk up and down the sloop eroaking out his long and disastrous ballad.

Origin of the Bustle.

A writer in the London Truth says: I sometimes consult great dress-makers on the raison d'etre of sumptuary fancies. One of them, in replying to me anent the bustle, said in substance : ** It had its origin away back, seven or eight years ago, at the Thea- tre de Chatelet, when ‘‘ Milleetune Nuits ” was on there. There were in that extrava- ganza two processes whom an old witch had metamorphosed into a pair of turkeys. Wken retransformed ‘into their original forms they retained some of the turkey nature which most showed itself in their bustles. ”

A Succesful islander.

Tue Commercial Record, of San Fran- cisco, Cal., recently published a sketch and picture of Hon, D. A. Maedonald, (cousin of Lieutenant-Governor Macdonald) one of the several successful Islanders on the Pacific coast. We extract the following:

** By his own endeavor Mr. Macdonald has

achieved the position he now occupies. Well trained, and and early imbued with principles of rectitude, he was enabled to resist all the many snares so plentifully spread for young men out here in early days. He came with one purpose—to succeed, and to build up for himself & name, and in this he has certainly been signally successful. All through the years he has maintained a high place among his associates in business and suciety. Dis- tance and years might separate, but memory was Vigilant, and the training he first had, and the lessons then learned, were never for- gotten. These were his mainstay, and they proved reliable. *““D. A. Macdonald, as the name would de- note, belongs to the Scotch clan of that name, aclan unexcelled in the annals of Scotland for heroic deeds, and wkose latter day sufferings belong to history. He learned the carpenter trade when young, and upon coming here he naturally resumed the busiaess he was famil- lar with. Politically he has made a bright mark. The vote for him, when he ran for the Supervisorship, shows the hosts of friends he possesses. In office he was one of the few men eg ney never pointed at, and his course was such as to meet the approval of those even opposed to him politically. He did the taxpayers great service, and was a power in the Board. Against all questionable schemes he was firmness itself, and no doubt the know- ledge of this very fact prevented many from even being presented.

‘“*Mr. Macdonald came to this state from Prince Edward Island. He arrived here J uly 20th, 1852, after a passage around the Horn of 141 days. The voyage was made in the ship *‘Samue! Appleton,” and as tellow-voy- agers with Mr. Macdonald were several who have risen to high place—J. J. McKinnon, Mr. Harrington, the capitalist, and others. The ship was put into Valpariso, and Mr. Macdonald still carries a watch charm, a two real piece, he obtained there as a teken of the visit. Upon his arrival he at once began work at his trade of carpenter, and continued this until the fall of 1854, when he went into partnership with B. T. Chace. The firm started a mill at Beal and Market, and at Mr. Macdonald’s suggestion it was called Chace’s Mill. The business of mill work was eontinued as above until Mr. Chace’s death, Mr. Macdonald’s brother having, in the meantime, been admitted tothe firm. Mr. Macdonald was appointed administrator and guardian of Mr. Chace’s estate and children, and his careful handling realized certainly a larger return than expected.

“Ten years ago Mr. Macdonald moved to the present location on Spear street, first con- ducting the mill work under his own naime and afterwards merging it into a corporation. Politically, Mr. onald has not been a seeker after place. He was elected twice to the Supervisorship of the Twelfth Ward for the terms 1873-75, first by the Taxpayers and afterwards by the Democrats. In politics he has always been conservative. Of the Cale- donia Club he was First Chieftain for about seven years. He was also Captain of the San Francisco Hussars for severul years.

**D. A. Macdonald has been for 16 years a Twice during that time he served as Vice-President. or many years he was a member of the Finance and Executive Committees: In 1876 he was elected by acclamation Centennial Grand Marshal by the Committee of Two Hundred on motion of General John McComb, General Winn presiding.

“In fact he belongs to very many societies, and is a moving figure in their advancement. He has the proud satisfaction in his retrospect of the past in having nothing to regret. He has labored with all his might, and than this no man may do more. Socially he is sought after, and is the centre of his cirele. He is entertaining, and owing toa retentive memory his recollections are both interesting and in- structive. Among those who have advanced the State of their adoption, and given it the proud place it to-day occupies in the galaxy of States, certainly Mr. Macdonald occupies a prominent and honorable place.”

A Detective’s Bold Scheme.

An Iron Mountain, Mich., despatchsays: About a month age a stranger claiming to be a Methodist revivalist came here and began holding meetings in the Methodist church. He made himself very familiar with the people and succeeded in getting up quite an interest in religious matters. Lately his true mission was disclosed, when he turned out to be a detective and arrested Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Walhaupter for a murder committed two years ago near Jamesville, Wis. They were given a pre- liminary hearing and were released on their own izance. Mr. and Mrs. Search were found murdered in their bed July, 16, 1886. Warren Walhaupter, a sou of the couple arrested in Iron Mountain was in the employ of Search, and discover- ed the bodies. The murderers secured between $5,000 and $7,000 in gold, and there isa standing reward of $1,500 for their capture. A Jamesville despatch says the district attorney asserts that unless the detective has secured a confession or moze important evidence against the Walhaupters than he possesses it is doubtful whether a case can be made out against them. ——_———_<—-o
