Them fa a Princess in the Sooth
▲bout whose beauty rumors hum
As honey-bees about the mouth
Of roses dewdrops falter from;
And O her hair is like the fine
Clear amber of a jostled wine
In tropic revels: and her eyes
Are blue as rifts of Paradise.
Such beauty as may none before
Kneel daringly, to kiss the tips
Of fingers such as knights of yore
Had died to lift against their lips:
Such eyes as might the eyes of gold
Of all the stars of night behold
With glittering envy, and s> glare
In da tiling splendor of despair.
So, were I but a minstrel, deft
At weaving, with the trembling strings
Of my glad harp, the warp and weft
Of rondels such as rapture sink's —
IM loop my lyr3 across my breast,
Nor stay me till my knee found rest
In midnight banks of bud anil flower
Beneath my lady's lattice bower.
And there, drenched with the teary dews,
Fd woo her with such wondrous art
As well might stanch the songs that ooze
Out of the mockbird’s breaking heart;
So slight, so tender, and so sweet
Should lie the words I would repeat.
Her casement, on my gradual sight,
Would blossom as a lily might

The Last Man Flogged.
A BTORY OP THE AMERICAN NAVT.
Peter Featherstone was an English
criminal. He was one of that large class
whoarc criminal by instinct, by inheritance
and by acquirement. Boin of criminal
C rents, he soon took to the streets of
ndon, and by the time he was off his
mother's knee he had been imprisoned
and flogged for theft.
Before he was twenty-five years old he
had served five terms in prison; he had
been transported to Van Diemen's land,
and had there suffered, more because of
his good qualities than his bad ones—the
horrors of the absolute despotism of
martial law governing a criminal commu
munity.
In 1851 he set foot upon the docks of
New York, a free man for the first time
since his boyhood. The inhumanity of
society's laws had embittered his mind
against society. Still, wishing to be hon
est, he enlisted as a common seaman in
the U. S. Navy.
The United States war vessel North
Carolina was then anchored at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, having been converted
into a receiving ship. Peter Feather
stone was placed aboard c f her, and there
he entered upon his first attempt at re
foim. He had some experience as a
sailor, was strong, brave and willing, and
soon gained the favor of Lieutenant En
shaw and the boatswain.
Glittering opportunities to return to
crime always present themselves to the
reformed, and Peter Featherstone was
not exempt. He had been known to the
sporting fraternity of London as a
“clever boxer” and a “hard hitter.”
Among his old time friends there was
John McGraw, at one time light weight
pugilistic champion of England. Me- i
Graw had come to New York and
opened a “free and easy” at 85 Division
street, which lie had called the “Old
House at Home.” By some chance he
learned that Featherstone was aboard
the North Carolina. Knowing him to
be a valuable adjunct to a boxing resort,
he planned Petei’s escape from the ves
sel, and after some correspondence the
sailor yielded to the promise of a gay
life.
Among the other visitors to the North
Carolina one afternoon, was a tailor. By
arrangemeut he met Peter Featherstone
between decks and secretly measured
him for a su ; t of clothes. A week later
another visitor smuggled aboard the
vessel a package which Peter Feather
stone received. It contained a suit of
clothes of fashionable make, a silk hat,
a jmir of fins boots, a white shirt, a silk
necktie and a large handkerchief.
In the afternoon of the same day a I
New York swell paraded the deck of the
North Carolina and mingled with the
visitors. One of his eyes was evidently
sore, for whenever a sailor approached
him he bowed his head and pressed his
handkerchief to the side of his face. !
Shortly after he appeared on deck a party
of visitors left the vessel, and among
them was the dapper gentleman with the .
sore eye. As he descendsd the stairs on
the vessel’s side and was nearing the I
small boat below, a sailor on drek hur
riedly approached Lieutenant Enshaw, 1
who was looking over the side.
“Doyou see that man witha silk hat?”
inquired the sailor, pointing below.
“Yes.”
“Well, he’s a messmate of mine and
belongs to this boat. His name is
Peter Featherstone.”
“Halt!” cried the officer. Every
member of the party descendirg the
stairs stopped and looked up, except the
young mao in the silk hat.
“ It is true,” muttered the officer.
“ Bring back that man with the hand
kerchief in his hand,” ordered the lieu
tenant.
The young man clinched to the deck,
looking cool and defiant.
“You arc Peter Featherstone and be
long to this vessel,” said the lieutenant.
“I am not,” was the bold response.
The unusual scene attracted “Commo
dore’’ Wilson, chief officer of the boat.
He was commander of a s piadron and
carried his title of Commodore by cour
tesy only, that office not existing then in
the United States Navy. He was an
efficient officer, but passionate, and had
bean dubbed “Bully” Wilson by the
sailors.
“Who is this man?” he asked.
“He is suspected of being a sailor at
tempting to escape,” replied tha lieuten
ant, looking curiously at the defiant face
tefore him. which he recognized.
“Call the roll,” ordered the Commo
dore.
In a moment the long rollofthedrims
was heard and six hundred sailors pou ed
out of the vessel upon the upper deck.
They formed themselves around the ves
sel's sides in regular lines.
The call of the roll brought response
to every name but one. When ‘•Peter
Featherstone" was called no voice mid
“Herd”
. The officers looked at the culprit
silently, as if waiting for his defense.
He st< od in the centre of the deck, his
arms folded, still erect mid defiant. He
saw that he was trapped and his only
desire was for revenge.
‘•Who is the man who reported me?"
he asked, quietly.
“John Kimmons,” called the lieu
tenant.
“Ay, y, sir," replied a young sailor,
•teppmg forward lu front of u mast and

erstone struck his messmate tnree times
in the face. The sailor’s head struck an
iron l*ud around tho mast and he fell
senseless to the deck. As he fell Feath
erstone kicked viciously at hia head, but
in an instant the offender was seized by
the master of arms and two marines.
‘•Put him in irons.” yelled Bully Wil
son. “I’ll flog the life out of him.”
The struggling sailor was manacled
hand ar.d foot and thrown into that iron
barred cage between the lower deck'
which the sailors call “the run.” Here
he was guarded as is a murderer during
his last hours. A sentry, like a death
watch, paced continually before the
cage. — — .
Day by day the sailor awoke to antici-
I pate his impending punishment, but it
1 did not come. He grew restless and im
patient of restraint as the days passed.
He longed for the mental relief which
would follow his punishment. He did
not dread the physical pain. His back
had felt the lash.
He did not know that there was then
pending in the Congaess of the United
States a bill for a law to save him from
the whip. He did not know th it he was
being kept by his commander to be
offered upas the last sacrifice on the altar
of the “cat-o-nine-taiis,” in the event of
that instrument of torture being abolished
from the navy.
One morning, nine weeks after Peter
Featherstone had struck his messmate on
the deck, he was aroused by the guard
and told that he was to be flogged. His
irons were removed and he walked
quickly to the third deck. The entire
crew of the North Carolina had been *
summoned to witness the flogging. The
marines presented fixed bayonels. Com
modore Wilson and the boatswain, armed
with the cat, stood near a gun carriage,
which formed the whipping stocks.
Peter Featherstone was well acquainted
with the method of flogging sailors on
board ship. He walked to the gun car
riage, and with a quick motion pulled
his blue shirt over his head. He threw
it at the feet of the officer and exclaimed:
“Now, I’m ready.”
“Not so fast!” thundered the Commo
dore. “Wait till you get orders. Put
on your shirt.”
The sailor obeyed. Then the officer
read from a paper the charge: “Assault
ing a seaman and attempted escape,” and
asked if the prisoner had unything to
say.
In reply, the sailor again pulled off his
shirt and approached the carriage. The
boatswain lashed the culprit’s feet to the
timbers of the carriage and his hands to
the hammock hook above.
At a noil from the officer the boatswain
raised his arm, and once, twice, and
again the nine thongs fell upon the white
flesh with a cruel “swish.” At the first
blow the muscles of the sailor's back in
voluntarily contracted and his shoulders
slightly shrugged. Then his head fell
forward, his teeth set and his breath
came fast.
But the boatswain had admired the
pluck of the young sailor, and his arm,
respondent to his sympathy, seemed to
lose its usual strength. The blows, severe
as they were, did not satisfy the com
mander. At the third lash he cried,
‘ ‘Stop!” Then, glaring nt the boatswain,
he said:
“If you don’t do your duty by that
man I will find a man aboard who will
do it by you.”
The sailor turned his fade defiantly
to the boatswain and cried:
“Lnyon! You can’t hurt mo.”
The boatswain understood his superior
officer and was nettle 1 by the boasting
tone of the culprit. He plied the cruel
“cat” as he never had before. The blood
spurted from the lacerated back; the
perspiration streamed from tho sailor’s
face; he gasped for breath, but he ut
tered no cry. and when the whipping
ceased his knees trembled and his arms
seemed to support his body.
He was released, He leaned against
the gun carriage for support; but he was
not conquered. He still looked defiance
at the officer.
“How do you like that?” ask and Bully
Wilson.
“How do I like it?” cried the sailor,
“why my old mother in Liverpool has
often give me a worse licking than that
with a dishrag.”
This sallv brought a roar of laughtci
from the sailors, and the officer was beside
himimsclf witli rage. The rebellious
sailor was again ordered to “the run,”
this time in double irons.
Ontheaftcrncoi of the same day the bill
for the abolition of flogging in the navy
was signed by President Fillmore, anil
became a law. Tho last flogging had
been sanctioned by American law.
Two months later Peter Feather-t ine’s
irons were taken off, and one right at
10 o’clock he was transferred to the ship
Saranac. She was to sail on the following
morning for the Gulf Stream, where Com
modore Wilson was to join the flagship
of the squadron.
“I will take Featherstone with me,”
he is said to have remarked to Lieuten
ant Enshaw. “and I will break him or
kill him.”
“That night, aboard tho Saranac, a
sentry saw a shadow pass him and heard
a splash in the water.
Half an hour later a half dead sailor,
with his bundle of clothes tied around
hisneck with a handkerchief, drew him
self out of the water. He looked across
the water where lay the black outlines
of a ship, and the last man flogged in
the American navy hurled out a curse
and turned his face toward the great
city.— Cincinnati Com'mercial.
Tea as Prepared in the East.
The Ilunnias (Himalayan natives) drink
tei which comes from China in small
packets, made up of the large leaves,
small branches, seeds, etc., forming a
mass reduced to the smallest possible sire
by pressure, and rendered sometime; still
more eompict by a slight addition of
sluep'sblood. The Hunuiastravel great
distances, living only on tea and what
the Hindus call suttoo, that is, flour made
from roosted beans or peas. To prepare
the tea they boil the leaves for some
hours, all night, in fact, if they are in
camp, in a small earthen pot; then they
pour out the infusion into a large b tsin
full of hot water, adding some tail and
clarified butter (ghee), if they happen to
have it. All these naturally make a kind
of soup, and the natives can live on it
several months and undergo severe fa
tigue without taking any other nourish
ment. “The method adopted by the
Mongols ami other Tartar tribes for the
i (reparation of tea in bricks is,” says
ohnston iu his "Chemistry of Common
Life," "it is believed, that which extracts
from the leaves the greatest possible
amount of nourishment. They scrape tlm
tea into fine powder and boil it in the al
kaline water of the steppes, adding some
fat ami suit, after which they pour off
the liquid, leaving the deposit. They
drink twenty, even forty, glasses of this
I liquor ill the <iy, mixing iu it some

THE WHALE SHARK.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE GREAT
EST FISH THAT SWIMS.
The Sight that Greeted the Eyes of
a Skipper OIT the California
Coast—Habits of the
Rhinodon.
A San Diego correspondent of the San
I Francisco Call writes: The captaiu of a
! vessel running between an Australian
port and Wilmington, Cal., reported a
| curious incident s-yne time ago that is
| of raoie than passing interest. The ship
was bowling along off the coast, locating
to the eastward, when a large object was
cited ahead by the lookout. It was re
ported as a w hale, and word passed aft
to that effect, but wbe.2 the skipper came
on d*ck it was still in the same position
dead ahead, about half a mile away. The
men thought it a sleeping whale, but as
the vessel drew nearer it was seen to be
a fish that lay in the trough of the sea,
the waves breaking over it, and numbers
of seabirds flying about or resting upon
it. The creature seemed at least fifty
feet long, judging from the ship that
bore away a little to avoid it, and ran
within two hundred feet. That it was
only sleeping or basking at the surface
was evident, as someone put a bullet in
its thick hide and it sank, leaving adeep
whirlpool and numbers of shrieking
birds to alone mark the spot. The fish
was described as spotted or marbled,
having a small top or dorsal fin. and a
shark-like tail. The sailors had never
seen anything of the kind before, and
thought it was some new animal, and
having no apparatus for taking whales or
other large animals, it was passed,
probably serving only as a good founda
tion for many sea-serpent yarns.
From the description I should judge
that the great fish Was Smith’s spotted
shark, rhinodon typicus, one of the most
interesting of all sharks, the largest
known living fish and the largest living
animal,- if we except the great narwhal
whale. For a long time the rhinodon
was supposed to be confined to east
African waters, and I received some
years ago a communication from a gen
tleman in Ceylon giving an extremely
interesting amount of a specimen that
was about twenty-three feet long, cap
tured there, but since then the fish has
been observed in various waters. I be
lieve Dr. Gill claims anew genus on the
Pacific c:iait, though I)r. Gunther, of
the British Museum, considers nil the
forms observed to be identical. In any
case, the fish and its allies, among which
may be included our great bone shark of
the family Cetorhinidte, have a wide
geographical range.
In general appearance the rhinodons
resemble our common basking sharks, but
they differ from them in several particu
lars, one remarkable feature being the
color, which is spotted, presenting a
striking appearance in the water. From
this peculiarity they are called spotted
sharks, while local names are given them
relating to their habits in the several
localities. They are also called whale
sharks, perhaps partly from their enor
mous size, and from the fnct that their
gill rakers call to mind the whale
bone of the whale. The general
characteristics of the family are as fol
lows, and by them the fishes can be re
cognized by seamen on this coast: Sharks
of great size, attaining in full growth at
least seventy feet, color spotted or mar
ble, mouth large and not underneath, but
with the nostrils at the extremity of the
meuth; the teeth arc extremely small,
very numerous and conical, so small in
fact, that in nearly all superficial exami
nations they are reported as being tooth
less. The gill openings are very wide
and prominent, the last one being above
the base of the pectoral fins. The first
dorsal fin is extrtmely small, and placed
a little in front of the ventrals. The
second dorsal is also comparatively small,
and nearly opposite the anal. Both are
without spines. The tail is large and
powerful, possessing a keel,and the lower
lobe is well developed,as in the basking.
The eyes are small, and have no nictitat
ing membrane. In the mouth are fouud
the curious cartilaginous bands or rakers
already referred to, evidently an ar
rangement enabling the sharks to retain
the minute pelajic animals upon which
they feed. These sharks are so common
about the Seychclle islands that organized
fisheries are carried on.
The first authentic capture of the
rhinodon in America was reported by
the Italian naturalists who were making
a tour of the world on the man-of-war
Vettor Pisiani. While lying in the Gulf
of Panama, near Taboga Island, they
saw several large sharks, and Ijegan fish
for them. Several boats were sent out,
■with spears, and after a long chase one
of the monsters was struck, and soon
they were rushing across the bay at a
rate of several miles an hour. For three
hours the shark towed four or five boats,
upsetting one and endangering all sev
eral times. Finally the foremost crew
succeeded in hauling alongside, and by
repeated lancing it was killed. The
crews of nine separate boats were re
quired to tow the animal to the ship,
where they hoped to hoist it aboard ;
but this being fouud impossible, it was
towed ashore at flood tide, and was
thoroughly examined when high and
dry at ebb tide. The length of the shark
was about twenty-nine feet, and the
greatest circumference about twentv-one
feet. The natives, who called the shnrk
tintorera, stated that they had observed
the sharks before, but that thev were
comparatively rare. Photographs were
taken of this specimen, with sailors
sitting in its mouth, giving a good idea
of its huge proportions.
As large as it was it was only a third
the she of some observed at the
Seychelles, according to Professor
Wright, of the University of Dublin.
The first one ever captured was killed
by some natives Capetown, where it
was examined by Sir A. Smith, and
finally it was found that the tisli was
quits c itnmou about the Scvehelles; but
when the report came that "they attained
a length of seventy feet it was doubted.
Professor Wright investigated the mat
ter and fouud by personal experience
that this length was not exaggerated,
and that the rhinodon was "truly the
largest fish in the world. At the
Seychelles they are culled chagrin, and
are generally found from twenty-five to
fifty feet in length, occasionally attain
ing seventy. Wheu of the latter size,
they are greatly dreaded by the natives
us well as the whalers. It seems that
when struck they far exceed the whale
in agility, sounding with murvelous
speed, so that there is great danger of
limits being either jerked under water or
torn in pieces.
A whale is obliged to rise after a cer
tain time to breathe, but the rhiiiodou ••an
descend to an enormous depth, exhaust
ing more line thhi a (mat cm carry. Pro
fess ir Wright stales that several fatal ites
have on urr-d, natives frequently being
jerked overboard so quickly that tlmir
disappearance was not mmoi by tlteir colil-
line before it could be cast off. With a
lurch the stem of the craft sprang into
•ir, and in a second she had dis ippcored.
The men, who had flung themselves over
j board, were picked up by other boats,
an l aiattempt waimadetofollow th- di-
I reetion taken by the animal and beat: but
neither came up, and three days later
the large boat was found six or eight
miles down the coast. Everything had
been torn out of her, even the paint worn
off as if she had been scraped. Evidently
she had been towed under water for miles
at a high rate of speed, and dragged over
the rocks at the bottom until fina lv the
line broke.
The rhinodon has a curious habit, ob
served in the Seychelles region, of rising
under the fc?ats and lifting them out of the
water, spilling the occupants by rolling
the craft over. This often happens to
large native boats, and it is probably
done in curiosity or play, as the same
thing is often done bv wha es.
Nice Mince Pies.
While the Fifth Wisconsin were
camped in Virginia in the winter of ’t>3
they were sometimes in the habit of jay
hawking, and acquired such a reputation
that in a short time they got credit for
everything of the kind that occurred.
The Colonel of a certain Vermont regi
ment determined at length to put up a
job on them. His name lam not at lib
erty to use, but he was a brave and gal
lant officer and known far and wide
throughout the whole Sixteenth Corps as
Colonel Aunt Liddv. Colonel Aunt
Liddy called some of his boys together
and instructed them to kill and dress a
certain very fat dog in such a manner
that it wouid look like sheep, and let the
Fifth Wisconsin boys have a chance to
steal and eat it; “and then, boys,” says
he, “we’ll have a good one on them.”
No sooner advised than done. That
night some of our boys were tempted by
sight cf the mutton, and of course
brought it into camp. By some means,
however, after arriving in camp they
were led to smell a large “rat,” and an
investigation showed the boys had been
sold. They held a council of war at once
and eagerly discussed various plans for
turning defeat into victory. One of our
men had the reputation of being one of
the best cooks in or about headquarters.
At his suggestion we obtained flour and
bought a lot of apples, by the assistance
of which l:e speedily conve-.ted the
dressed dog into in a savory smelling
component of as lino a looking lot of
mince pies as ever came into camp. Men
were sent out to peddle them, who “hap
pened” to find their way first among
Aunt Liddy’s men, and it is needless to
say the stock was exhausted before the
peddlers reached anybody else. Aunt
Liddy, having a particular liking for
mince pies,'bought half a dozen, and we
chuckled to see him smacking hi3 lips as
he swallowed big mouthfuls. Shortly
after this a detail of us Wisconsin boys
were ordered out on fatigue
duty, and Aunt Liddy and
his brave Veimonters were sent out as
our guard, and of the barking, yelping,
howling that I ever heard, that beat all.
The Colonel called for an explanation of
such conduct, and was informed that we,
as a regiment, had no liking for dog. but
were riot disposed to quarrel with those
who did.
The Colonel looked down a moment,
puzzled, and then with a half amused
look, and half suspicious, called out:
“Who does like dog?”
“Well, nobody, Colonel, unless made
up into nice mince pies!”
The Colonel wheeled around to his
men, and exclaimed: “Boys, this is a
good one; we will have to.let the Fifth
Wisconsin alone after this,” and you may
be sure they did.— Chicago Ledger.
Selection by the Sea.
An observant rambler along the shores,
will, here and there, note places where
the sea has deposited things more or less
similar, mid separated them from dissim
ilar things—will see shiDgle parted from
sand; larger stones sorted frem smaller
stones; and will occasionally discover
deposits of shells more or less worn by
being rolled about. Sometimes the peb
bles or boulders composing the shingle
at one end of a bay, he will find much
larger than those at the other, interme
diate sizes, having small average differ
ences, occupying the space between the
extremes. An example occurs, if I re
member rightly, some mile or two to the
west of Tenby; but the most remarkable
and well-known example is that afforded
by the Chesil bank. Here, along a shore
some sixteen miles long, there is a grad
ual increase in the sizes of the stones;
which, being at one end but mere peb
bles, are at the other end great boulders.
In this ease, then, the breakers aDd the
undertow have affected a selection—have
at each place left behind those stones
which were too large to be readily
moved, while taking a.vay others small
enough to be moved easily. But now, if
"We contemplate exclusively (his selective
action of the sen, we overlook certain im
portant effects which the sea simultane
ously works. While the stones have been
diffeiently acted upon in so far that some
have been left here and some carried
there, they have been similarly acted
upon in two allied, but distinguishable,
ways. By perpetually rolling them about
and knocking them one against another,
the waves have so broken off their most
prominent parts as to produce in all of
them more or less rounded forms; and
then, farther, the mutual friction of the
stones simultaneously caused, has
smoothed their surfaces. That is to say
in general terms, the actions of en
vironing agencies, so far as they have
operated indiscriminately, have produced
in the stones a certain unity of cliaracterr
at the same time that they have, by thei;
differential effects, sepa-ated them, the
larger ones having withstood certain vio
lent actions which the smaller ones could
uot withstand. —Popular Science Monthly.

A TEKRIHEE ACCIOENT.
Fl.e 3lcn Crushed to Death in Wheeling,
West Virginia.
A shocking accident occurred at the Ohio
river railroad tresde, opposite Thirty-second
street, Wednesday afternoon. At five o’clock
a hand car, bearing Section Boss Ed Faust and
f.ur hands, was passing over the trestle.
Faust endeavored to check the speed of the car
as they went over by pressing on the brake., but
losing his balance, fed forward in front of the
