(Continued. ) This explanation, and the manrer in, which it was given, removed Mr. Hezel’s apprehensions for the time being. *It was very alarming,” said he; ‘but I suppose you know your business.’ “Nobody betier sir,’ said Wylie. ‘Why, it is mot one seaman in three that would trouble his head about a flaw in a ship's inner skin; but I’m a man that looks ahead. Will you have a glass of grog, sir, now that you are here? I keep that under my eye too; between ourselves, if the skipper has as much in his cabin as I have here, that might be worse for us all than a crack or two in the ship’s inner skin.’ Mr. Hazel declined to drink grog at that time in the morning, but wished him good night, and left him with a better opinion of him than he had ever had till then. | Wylie, when he was gore, drew a tumbler of neat spirits, drank half, and carried the rest back to his work. Yet Wylie was a very sober man in a general way. Rum was his tool, not his master. When Hazel came to think of it all next day, he did not feel quite so easy as he had done. The inner skin! But when Wylie withdrew his auger, the water had squirted in furiously, He felt it hard to believe that this keen jet of water could be caused by a small quantity that had found its way between the skin of the ship and her copper, or her top booting ; it seemed rather to be due Lo the direct pressure of the liquid monster outside. He went to the captain that afternoon as they were heaving the lead, and first told him what he had seen, offering no solution. The captain on this occasion was in an amphibious state; neither wet nor dry; and his reply was altogether exceptional. He received the communication with pom- pous civility; then he swore a great oath and said he would put the mate iff irons: ‘Confound the fubber, he will be through the ship's bottom!’ ‘But stop a moment,’ said Mr. Hazel; ‘it is only fair you should also hear how he accounts for his proceeding.’ The captain listened attentively to the explanation, and altered his tone. | ‘Oh, thet is a different matter,’ he said, ‘You need be under no alarm sir; the thundering Iubber knows what he is about at that work. Why, he has been a ship’s carpenter all his life. Hima seaman! If anything ever happensto me, and Joe Wylie is set to navigate this ship, then you may say your prayers. He is’nt fit to saila wash-tub across a duck-pond. But I'll tell you what it is, added this worthy, with more pomposity than neatness of articula- tion, ‘here’s respeckable passenger, brought me areport; do my duty to m’ employers, and—take a look at the well.’ He accordingly chalked a plumb-line, and went and sounded the well. There were eight inches of water. Hud- son told him that was no more than all ships contained from various causes. ‘In fact,’ said he, ‘our pumps suck, and will not draw at eight inches.’ Then sud- denly grasping Mr. Hazel’s hand, he said, in tearful accents; ‘Don’t you trouble your head about Joe Wylie or any other such scum. I’m skipper of the ‘Proserpine,’ and a man that does his duty to ’z employ- ers. Mr. Hazel, sir, I'd come to my last anchor in that well this moment, if my duty to m’ employers required it. B— my eyes if I wouldn’t lie down there this minute, and never move to all eternity and a day after, if it was m’ duty employers.’ ‘No doubt,’ said Hazel, dryly ; ‘but I think you can serve ycur employers better in other parts of the ship.’ He then left him with a piece of advice, ‘to keep his eyes upon that Wylie.’ Mr. Hazel kept his own eyes on Wylie so constantly that at eleven o’clock, p. m., he saw that worthy go into the captain’s cabin with a quart bottle of rum. The coast was clear; the temptation great. These men were still deceiving him with a feigned antagonism. He listened at the key-hole, not without some compunction, which, however, became less and less as fragments of the dialogue reached his ear. For a long time the only speaker was Hudson, and his discourse ran upon his own exploits at sea; but suddenly Wylie’s voice broke in with an unmistakable tone of superiority; ‘Belay all that chat and listen to me! It is time we settled something. IUll hear what you have got to say, and then you'll do what I say. Better keep your hands off the bottle a minute; you have had enough for the present; this is business. I know you are good for jaw; but what are you game to do for the governor's money? Any- thing ?’ ‘More than you have ever seen or heard tell of, ye lubber,’ replied the irritated skip- per. ‘Who has ever served his employers , like Hiram Hudson?’ ‘Keep that song for your quarter-deck,’ retorted the mate, contemptuously. ‘No, on second thought, just tell me how you have served your employers, you old hum- bug. Give me chapter and verse to choose from. Come now, the ‘Neptune? ” ‘Well, the ‘Neptune,’ she caught fire a hundred leagues from land.’ ‘How came she to do that?’ ————E=== 3 bie that the water came in, and down she went, hissing like ten thousand sarpints, and no- body the wiser.’ ‘Who lighted the fuse, I wonder?’ said Wylie. ‘Don’t [ tell ye it was ‘Somebody?’ said Hudson. ‘Hand me the stiff.’ He replenished his glass, and after taking a sip or two, asked Wylie if he had ever had the luck to be boarded by pirates. ‘No,’ said Wylie. ‘Have you!’ ‘Ay; and they rescued me from a watery grave, as the lubbers call it. You see, I was employed by Downes & Co, down at the Havana, ahd cleared for Vera Cruz with some boxes of old worn-out printer’s type.’ ‘To print psalm-booke for the darkies, no doubt.’ suggested Wylie. *” "(TO be eontinued.) ——-- ae Political Warfare Beyond Sea. A short time ago we referred to the growing custom in Britain of members of Parliament visiting their constitutents during every recess, and discussing with them the questions of the hour, as well as giving an account of their stewardship as representatives. The better known and more influential of the members do not confine their labors to their own cca~ stituencies, but ~ travel through the country, holding meetings and mak‘ng speeches, as opportunity offers. ‘The custom is @ good one, and it is a token for good that it is always beeoming more commou. It takes the people into the confidence of the members. It is one of the best educating processes for both representatives and represented. The fact of its becoming a settled custom will go a long ways towards making mem- bers more attentive to their Parlia- mentary duties, and constituencies more interested in public questions, and more able to discuss them with intelligence and effect, Both parties are resorting to this mode of propagating their par- ticular opinions, and it is perfectly right tat it should be so. The people are a growingly intelligent jury before whom all public matters have to be discussed, just as eventually by that same people all are to be determined. We cannot. too soon and too fully have the same custom established in Canada. There is far too little intercourse in this country between constituencies and their repre+ sentatives. Let all this be changed. It probably could not have a beginning till after the coming sessions of the Federal avd Local Parliaments ; but immediately after let it be begun, and so carried on that any representative who does not every year give an account to those whom he represents ot what he has done, and why he has done it, shall come to be thought seriously neglectful of his duties, and on that account liable to be called upon to resign his position. —_———_——. +9» <> oe - The Canadian Postal Department. The Canadian Gazette of arecent date contains the following editorial paragraph: ‘In one important respect the Canadian Postal Department sets an example which might well be imitated in this country. Complaint is constantly being made of the illiberal treatment to which English new- paper proprietors are subjected by the Post Office department in the matter of postage. Most of our readers are aware of the anomalous regulation existing, according to which the pages devoted to advertisements in any newspaper must not exceed in number those devoted to news, if the said publication is to pass through the post at newapaper rates. Oc- casionally some official thinks it right to put this rule in active operation, with the result, perhaps, that the publisher of a provincial evening paper of Jess dimensions than the Echo is informed that his journal can no longer be accepted at newspaper rates; whilst the Times, even with a supplement, can still be sent from one end of the king- dom to another for a halfpenny. Things are managed very differently in Canada. For since June of last year all periodicals printed and published in the Dominion, and posted from the office of publication, have been carried free to any part of the country. For conveyance to Great Britain the postage is only at the nominal rate of acent per pound, There can be no deny- ing that, in this matter the colony is far ahead of the Mother Country, and Mr. Fawcett, at least, might, with advantage, take these facts into careful consideration. It is difficult to believe that the Imperial Government cannot afford to adopt a policy as liberal as that of the Dominion authorities.” Introduction of Canadian Birds into Scotland. The Marquis of Lorne is anxious to in. troduce the Canadian grouse and partridge into Scotland, being of opinion that, owing to the similarity of the climate of the two countries, the birds ought to thrive in North Britain. His Lordship accordingly commissioned a well-known naturalist in Toronto to procure some specimens for him, for transmission to Scotland. But if the Canadian papers are correct in their state- ‘That is my business. Well, I put her head before the wind, and ran for the Azores; and I stuck to her, sir, till she was as black as a coal, and we couldn’t stand on} deck, but kept hopping like parched peas; fire belching out of her port-holes forward. | Then we took to the boats, and saved a few bales of silk by way of sample of her cargo, | and got ashore; and she’d have come ashore, | too, next tide, and told tales, but somebody left a keg of powder in the cabin, with a'possible the [experiment he is aixivus to long fuse, and blew a hole in her old ribs, ‘attempt was made to import into Ontario ment on the subject, a legal difficulty is likely to be encountered. For recently an from Manitoba several broods of the prairie chicken, when the local Government stepped in and prohibited the exportation, as by the game jaws of Manitoba all such exports are forbidden. The same ruling will, it is thought, apply in the case of the Marquis of Lorne, and thereby render im- ——————— en a ae ew VOL. 14,---NO, 6. = ey ——— +> - -_ State Aided Emigration. State aided emigration does not seem to be so popular in London as, considering the almost destitute circumstances of so many thousands of its population, if would natur- ally seem to be. And this may be inferred from the fact that, a short time ago, a meeting was called in London for the pur- pose of sympathizing with the project of state aided emigration, as the only one practicable and possible to relieve the dis- tressing condition of the poorer classes. A motion was brought forward by Mr. Torrens, M. P., which one would suppose was moderate enough to satisfy even the opponents of the scheme, declaring as it did that, ‘‘having regard to the constant-recurring distress and want of employment in our large towns, we con- sider it to be the duty of the Government of the country to provide such means of aiding emigration as will give every man who chooses to go with his family the option of going at a moderate price.” Yet, in proposing this resolution, Mr. Torrens was repeatedly interrupted with cries of *‘Land in England,” ‘‘Emigrate the land- lords and capitalists,” and other expressions indicative of the determination of the audience to seek remedial measures by other means than emigration. The resolu- tion was defeated by a large majority and the following amendment adopted :— ‘That this meeting, in view of the indus- trial depression now prevailing in the United States, in Canada, in Australia, and in New Z-aland, declares against State-aided or State- directed emigration as any remedy for the present distress among the unemployed of London; that this meeting, therefore, calls for a reasonable scheme of home colonization and State employment of labor at home to be set on foot at once, so that the unemployed, who are ready and willing to work, may not see their wives as well as themselves left des- titute or forced into pauperism.”’ screen ceatadlinast The British Telegraph System. The Postmaster General of Great Britain and Ireland has issued his report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1883, _1¢ ap- pears from this report that the number of telegraph messages sent in the United Kingdom during the year was 32,001,026, which is an increase of 746,165 as compar- ed with the number of the previous year. The number of messages sent to London was 12,347,707, against 12,071,034 in 1881-82. During the past year one hun- dred and two post cflices and forty-five railway station offices were opened for telegraphic work, and at the present time the total number of telegraphic offices in the United Kingdom is 5,742. The Govr- ernment intends soon to make a reduction of fifty per cent. in telegraphic charges, and will do so, as Mr. Fawcett says, just as soon as the proper arrangements therefore can be effected. Telegraphy as an appendage to the postal system, or rather as a part of it, is a perfect success in the United Kingdom. High Speed Vessels The American Naval Advisory Board disapproves of the building of high speed vessels for reasons that are not very sound. lt holds that there are so few very fast eom- mercial steamers and that these would be so protected by transfer to a neutral flag, or by some other means in case of war, that it is wholly unnecessary to build costly naval steamers to outstrip them in speed. This might be good reasoning if commercial steamers would not exceed that rate of speed laid down for new naval vessels, or ii other maritime powers would not strive to obtain high speed in their cruisers. But commercial steamers generally are increase- ing their rate of speed and other maritime governments recognise the importance of the fact that naval vessels to be of any good should, as arule, be faster than commer- cial ones. -~—-e,- Agricultural Notes. An Australian not long simce paid $15. - 750 for a ram. The cattle plague shows no abatement in the district of Odessa. Within seventeen days 1,800 head of cattle have perished. According to the latest reports, the small owners and peasants are the chief suffcrers, The Philadelphia Press says that a full- blooded Jersey cow, named Daisy, twenty- five years old, owned by Mr. John 8. Jewell, residing near Princetown, N. J., dropped a fine calf on July 23rd, but had no milk for it. On August lst she dropped a second calf, weighing eighty pounds, and the delayed milk fountain was then deve- loped, so that both calves have now a supply. Taken altogether, this is an ex- traordinary case. The cow's age is itself out of the common, as well as the twin calves, while the cause fora difference of nine days in their ages, and the delay of milk until the birth of the second, muat form puzzles for veterinary students suffi- cient to employ them for some time. Farm-horses should now be carefully looked after. Attention should be given to feeding, and a warm mash of boiled tur- nips and chaff, or boiled barley and oais, may be er occasionally after a bard day’s work. When swedes are sliced the horses will take to them much more kindly than when given whole, although when cooked they are relished better still. Chaffed hey isa great saving, and the horses make a better meal than when itis not chaffed. The stables ought to be cleaned regularly, and the litter removed. It is impossible to keep the air sweetina stable unless the litter and manure are daily taken out of the way. *“[TWENTY-FOUR’ years experience,” says an eminent physician, convinces me that the only way tocure nervous exhaustion, and weakness of the sexual organs, is to repair the waste by giving brain and nerve food. and of all the remedies compounded, Mack’s Magnetic Mediciue is the best.
