THE CARROLL COUNTY TIMES.
VOL. XIV.
TIED TO THE MAST.
BY DAVID KER.
“Tell ns a story, papa,” cho
rused half a dozen voices.
“We must have a story.”
“Oh, you’ve heard all my yarns
already,” answered Captain Mar
tingale, laughing. “If you want a
story, this gentleman will tell yon
55
one.
“This gentleman" was a tall,
broad-chested man, with a thick
black beaid which was fast turning
gray, who had come in just before
dinne-, and had been warmly wel
comed by toe Captain. A very
grim fellow he looked as he sat in
the great oaken chair, with the
tire-light playing fitfully on his
dark, bearded, weather-beaten face;
and Robert, tho eldest boy (who
was very fond of books of travel
and adventure), whispered to his
brother Dick that “this man look
ed just like one of the pirates who
used to haunt the Gulf of Alexi
co.”
“Am 1 to leh you a story? ’ ask
ed the visitor, in a deep, hoarse
voice, quite as piratical as his ap
pearance. “Well, then, listen :
There was once a poor boy who
bad no father or mother,no friends,
and no home except the wet, dirty
deck of a trading schooner, lie had
lo go about barefoot in the cold and
rain, with nothing on but an old
ragged flannel shirt and a
pair of sail-cloth trousers; and in
stead of landing on beautiful is
lands, and digging up buiied treas
ures, and having a good ti ne all
round, like the folks in the story
books, he got kicked «n 1 cuffed
from morning til! night, and some
times had a sound thrashing with a
lope’s.end into the bargain."
Bob’s bold face grew very blank
as he listened. He had privately
a great longing for a sailor’s life,
and this account of it (given, too
by a man who seemed to know’
what he was talking about) was
very different from what he had
dreamed of.”
“All the sailors were very rough
and ugly to him," went on the
sneaker, “but the worst of all was
the Captain himself. Ilohad boon
very badly treated himself when
he was a boy, and so (as some men
will) he took a delight in ill-treat
ing somebody else in the same way.
Many a time did he send the poor
little fellow aloft when the uhip
was rolling and the wind blowing
hard, and more than once he beat
him so cruelly that the poor lad
almost fainted with the pain.”
“Wicked wretch'.” cried Bob. in
dignantly. “I hope he got drown
ed, or eaten up by the savages.”
“Or taken for a slave himself,
and well thrashed every day,” sug
gested Dick.
“Oh no, Bob,” said little Helen,
who was si ting on a low stool at
her father’s feet; “I hope he was
sorry for being so cruel, and got
very good.”
The strange guest stooped and
lifted the little girl into his lap,
and kissed her. Helen nestled
<dosc to him, and looked wonder
ingly up in his face; for, as be bent
his head toward her, something
touched her forehead in the dark
nessthat felt very much like a
tear.
“Well,” resumed the speaker, as
ter a short paiue, “the schooner,
heading eastward across the Indian
Ocean, came at last, among the
Maidive Isles where it’s always
very dangerous sailing. Ihe coral
islands, Avhicb lie in great rin;s or
‘atolls’ all around, Hke so many
strings of beads, are so low ami Hat
that even in the daytime it s not
easy to avoid running aground upon
them; but at night you might as
well try to walk in the dark through
a room full of stools without turn
bling over one of them.
“Os course the Captain ha I to
be always on deck looking out,
and that didn’t make his temper
any sweeter, as you may think. So
that, very evening, when the cabin
boy had displeased him in some
way, what docs he do but tell the
men to sling him up into the jig
ging and tie him hand and foot to
the mast.
“But the cowards were soon pai l
for their cruelty. They were so
busy tormenting the poor lad that
none of them had noticed how the
sky was darkening to windward;
and all at on<*e a squall came down
upon them as suddenly as the cut
of a whip. In a mon ent the sea
all round was like a boi'ing pot.
crash went the s lip over on her
side, and both the masts went b\
the board (fell down into the sea,
that u i-), 'carrying the boy with
tnem.
“It was just as well for pool'
Harry that he had been tied t<> the
mas% ortherwise the tea wou'd
have swept him away Lkc a straw.
Even as it was, he was almost sti
fled by the bursting of the waves
over his head. He was still pcer-
ing into the darkness to try if he
could see anything of the ship,
when there came a tremendous
crash and a terrible cry, and then
dead silence. The vessel had
been dashed upon a coral
reef and stove in, and the sea,
breaking over her, had swept
away every man on board.
“But storms in those parts pass
away as quickly as they come; and
it was not long before the sea be
gan to g'j down, the clouds rolled
away, and the moon broke forth
in all its glory. Then Harry, find
ing tuat the rupe which tied lr‘s
arms hud been a good deal strained
by the shock that carrid away the
mast, managed to free one hand
and unbind the other arm and his
feet. Just then a face rose from
the water within a few yards of
him, and Harry recognized his en
emy, the cruel Captain.
“There he was, the man who had
abused, starved, and beaten him,
dying, or just about to die, almost
within reach, of safety. Though
barely twice his own length divided
him from the floating mast, so
strong was the eddy against which
the Captain was battling in vain
that he had no more chance of
reaching it than if it had been a
mile away. A few moments more
and he wouid have sunk, never to
rise again; but the sight of that
white.ghastly face, and those wild,
despairing eyes, was too much for
Harry. He flung out the rope
that he held; the Captain clutched
it, and in another minute was safe
on the mast, rescued by the boy he
hap been so cruel to.”
“O—oh! said Bob, drawing a
long breath.
“I’m so glad!” piped Helen’s ti
ny voice.
“About sunrise,” continued the
guest, “some natives who were out.
fishing in a small boat, caught
sight of them and came to the res
cue. The Maidive islanders are
much better fellows than the Ma
lays, farther east, and they took
good care of them both for a I
month or so. till at last an outward
bound English brig that had be<sn
blown out of her course touched at
the island where they were, and
took them off."
“And what happened to them
after all?” asked all the children at
once.
“The little cabin byy,” answered
the story-teller, “became as smart a
seaman as ever walked a deck, and
got the command of a fine ship by
and-by; and now; (laying his hand
upon their father’s shoulder) “here
he sits.”
“Papa!” cried the amazed chil
dren, “were you the poor little
boy?”
“But what became of tho pom'
Captain who was so <-ruel?” asked
little Helen, wistfully.
“Why, here he sits,” said her
father, grasping the story-teller’s
hand, “and lie's the beat friend I
have in the world.”

In the matter of temperance,

We may get pretty tired waiting :
for the day of our emancipation,
but it is certainly unwise to make
the cause of temperance obnoxious
by feeding it to the people day

at night to ask them if they have
violated their solemn obligation.
You may convince a reasonable
human being, butjon can not teach

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1885.
HOME of THE VAN BURENS.
How Ex.Piesident Spent hi?
East Days on Haith.
N *‘w York Worid.
Kwdewwok, N. Y, April 18.—
Ihe writer, having been a resident
of this village for 40 years, had
inany opportunities of seeing ex-
Preident Martin Van Buren, and
observing his inner life after his
return from Washington to the se
cluded retreat known as “Linden
"aid, situated two miles east of
this place, although he was reticent
and secretive. The farmers ir. the
vicinity of his residence enjoyed
many chats with their distinguish
ed neighbor, but they weie not
enlighteneed as to his political
views, his conversation always tur
ning on other general subjects.
The grave of the ex-Prcsident is
situate in a cemetery a little north
of the village of Kinderhook, the
background of which consists of
large native forests A plain
granite shaft surmounts it, and the
inscription contains in addition to
the date of his birth and death, the
words “Eighth President of the Uni
ted States.” No Enclosure sur
rounds it, and in close proximity
arc the graves of many descen
dants from old Holland families.
Mr. Van Buren was a faithful at
tendant of the Reformed Church
of this village, although he was
not a member, and his religious
habits wore unknown. He was in
the habit of entering the church a
short time after the audience l>ad
become seated, and his appearance
naturally excited attention as he
marched with dignified tread up
the aisle to a large box pew near
the pulpit. Distinguished guests
frequently accompanied him to
church, and the gaze of the rural
congregation was often estranged
from the minister to look upon the
features of Henry Clay, Thomas
11. Benton, Preston King, William
L. Marcy, Silas Wright. ex-Gov.
Troup, and scores of other distin
guished men who have passed
away. Mr. Van. Buren was in the
habit of riding daily on horseback,
and for a number of years after
vacating the Presidential chair
rode a beautiful thoroughbred bay
horse, which was presented to him
by John Randolph of Roanoke.
The humblest person received rec
ognition from him as he rode by,
and his h.it was often lifted as a sa
lute. After the liberation of slaves
in this many of them contin
ued their residence in this place,
and Massa Van Buren was regar
ded as their true friend, and they
halted with uncovered he ids as he
passed by, always receiving from
him due recognition of the same.
Mr. Van Buren never paid an in
debtedness until a bill was presen
ted, and then responded promptly
with a check on a bank, which was
torn irregularly from a stub, This
was done in order that he could de
tect a forgery by simply matching
the check with the stub.
One hot day while riding along,
after lifting his hat to a friend, a
cabbage leaf dropped from it. “I I
have a right to wear that," said he,
alluding to the report that cabbages
were extensively grown on his
farm, whereas there were no more
cultivated by him than by
others.
AVhenever a subscription was s o
be rai-ed in the village for any pur
pose the committee al ways got the
ex-President’s signature first, al
though the amount subscribed was
generally small, but no one pre
sumed to contribute more than the
President, and hence the wealthy,
but penurious took shelter behind
the distinguished contributor’s sig
il iturc. Whatever “Matty” gave,
as he was familiarly called, was
considered the maximum sum.
The ex-President was much cen
sured at one time for having sign
ed a petition and written a letter to
the'Governor of the State asking
for the commutation of the sen -
tence of Henry . Tanner from exe
cution to imprisonmpnt f >r life, as
he was an old man. It was a wife
murder of a most aggravated char
acter, and having been committed
in this village excited much inter
est. There is no donut that the in
fluence of Mr. Van Buren affected
the fate of the murderer. In this !
connection it may be stated as the;
only ca-e on record where the mur
de/er was permitted to attend the
fZneral of his victim, which was
held in a clin ch. Os course he
was in the custo ly of an officer.
W hen Air. Van Buren held the
office of President of the United
States the question of nepotism ;
did not receive the attention which I
it excited during the terms of Gen.
Grant and the appointment of his
brother Lawrence as Postmaster at
Kinderhook was ”egarded as a nat
ural sequence of the power gran
ted. After the retirement of the
President his influence was used to
retain his brother in the post office,
and the applicants for the position
were worsted in every effort to
oust him. During the time that
Montgomery Blair hold the posi
tion of Postmaster General the in
fluence of Mr. Yaußuren was used
through Francis P. B'air to retain
his brother in office and it was not
until ex-Gov. Dennison was ap
pointed’his successor that the Re
publicans could effect a removal.
After Andrew Jolmson bc<*aine
Piesident, the brother Lawrence
gravitated to his old position and
held it until his death. Dr. John
P. Beekman, a physician of much I
prominence and a resident of the
village of Kinderhook, was fre
quently visited by Mr. Van Buren,
and it is supposed that he alone
was cognizant of the views of the
former on the exciting political
questions of the day.
The ex. President was known to
be penurious and would haggle ov
er the cost in small dealings. He
had occasion to send a telegram to
Gen. Scott, who then resided in
New York, declining an invitation
to dinner, and was quite vexed at
the rate, GO and 4, which would be
considered rather steep for TOO
miles now a days.
A minister of the Gospel indulg
ed in a horse trade with Air. Van i
Buren, and no doubt thought it a '
pardonable sin to get the best of a
dicker with one who had a reputa
tion for so much craft and shrewd
ness. He succeeded in getting the
best of the trade with the ex-Presi
dent, who was indignant, and no
doubt would have sought redress
by law had it not been for the
standing held by both parties.
OUR FORCE AT PANAMA.
18 00 Men With. 30 Guns Ready
for a Scrimage.
Savannah N< \vs.
Washington, April 21.—The
Secretary of the Navy has received
a telegram from Admiral Jonett,
at Colon, stating that the Swatara
had just returned from Cartagena,
and that the Colombian Gen. Vila
writeshim that he will soon come
io the isthmus and re-establish a
constitutional government, when
necessary barracks will be erected
for the. accommodation of the
men.
HOUSING OF THE MEN.
They are now comfortable at the
barracks at the bridge where L’ent
Elliott has a marine guard <>£ 50
men. On Sunday night thj guard
there discovered a man applying
dynamite to the house of the canal
officer at Alatachin. Capt. Hun
tington, with 150 me.i and a bat
tery of 3 guns, has suppressed the
troubles and yield d good service
to the interests of peace at Pana
ma. The first battailion, consis
ting of 320 marines and 50 sailors, (
with fl guns, under command of
Col. Haywood, is comfortably
housed in large warehouses of the
canal company and has complete
coinmmd of all the appioaches to
the lailroad and canal property at
Panama station. The members of
the battalion have no communica
tion with the town. The health
of the officers and men is excellent '
—only two, with light fevers, he- (
ing on the sick list. There has (
been no trouble with the natives,
and none is expected. The United
States steamers Tennessee, Al
liance and Swatara are at Aspin
wall. The Galena is cruising in
the vicinity of Carthagena, and the
Powhatan is at Pathport. The j
Yantic is expected to arrive there
shortly. The Shenandoah is at
1 anatna.
1,800 MEN WITH 30 GUNS.
The force available and within j
easy call for more service numbers
1,800 men with 30 guns
, A Fjreudi man-of-war and an I
English man-of-war are at Aspin
wall. Two English and two French
war ships are at Panama. The '
peace commission from Panama I ,
reached Buenaventura on Friday, j
Their mission was ign >red. and •
the canal launch conveying the mem
hers of the commission was can-
< 11
tured. The war ship Boyaca is
towing an English hulk, and the ,
canal launch is towing the Italian
bark Geneva, with 1,000 men on
board, who will attack Aizpura at I
Panama. The revolutionary lead J
er avers that he will resist this
force, and states thaf their pres
ence is an invasion of one sover
eign State by another, and is not a
national effort to enforce authori
ty. droops ars reported to be em
barking at Buenaventura for this
place. Serious trouble is expected,
and, it is believed, can only be
averted by foreign intervention.
The canal work is hindered. Busi
nest> is being destroyed, and the in
habitants are in a constant state of
alarm. Many families are leaving
the city.
America’s force on the isthmus.
Panama. April, 21.—The arri
val of the ste imer Acapulco places
a very strong force of American
marines and sailors on the isthmus.
It was expected that the landing
of this force would cause much ir
ritation, and this was true—more
feeling on the subject, however,
being displayed by the French than
by the Colombians. The latter
understand the cause of the pro
ceedings better than the former.
; All opposition has now ended. The
American force is distributed as
follows: Two battallions, consist
ing of 274 murines and 140 sailors,
with a batterv of Hotchkiss and
Gatling guns, and a Dahlgren ho—
i witzer, under command of Capt.
Higbee, a~e stationed at Aspin
wall. Capt. Collum’s company is
at the Protestent chapel and hos
pitals. Lieut. Harrington and his
detachment aic at the light house
point and at the general siqxu'in
tendent’s residence and offices.
Lieut. Allibone is at the Royal
Mail wharf, and Capts. Reid and
Muse are at the Pacific Alail
wharf.
Capt. Reid's company furnishes!
a guard to trains on the Panama
Railroad, making six trips daily
wit!: armored cars with Gatling and
Hotchkiss guns.
a critical situation.
The situation last night and to
day has been critical. Hand bills
have been issued inciting the na
tives against the foreigners. Gen.
Aszpura is quoted as saying that ‘
he would not fight in the city. •
The cathedral towers are being
loop holed, and it is reported that j
a quantity of dynamite has been 1
placed in the cuartels and soldiers’ i
quarters to be tired in case of de
feat. Well-known criminals, liber-!
ated in the recent fights, are now '
seen in the hotels and elsewhere.
Fireing is frequently heard on the |
streets at night.
Relief from Malarial Poison.
For six months past I have been
affected with a very serious case of
typhoid malaria, which I contracted
on my orange grove in northwes
tern Florida. 1 tried several reme
dies, but everything failed me.
Two weeks ago I purchased a bot
tle of Swift’s Specific, which has
proved a sure cure for this dread
ful malidy.l had almost given up
hope of ever being well again, for
I had tried so many remedies, all
of whch had failed to do any good.
Would to God that all the afflicted
people residing in the malarious
counties of Georgia, Florida and
Alabama would read this and try
S.S.S. instead of dosing themselves
with quinine and mineral remedies.
I feel it my duty to suffering hum
anity to write this certificate, foi- it
may be the means of many of my
old friends trying this great remedy
as I have done. So strong is my faith
in it that in every case where the
directions are Followed I will guar
an tee a sure cure or forfeit one
hundred dollars.

“it is a wonderful remedy.”
For many years my blood was ii.
a bad condition, manifesting its
character by a scrofulous breaking
out on both my ankles, which caus
ed me considerable suffering as
well as great annoyance. Seeing
the name of Rev. Jesse 11. Camp
bell, of Columbus, Ga., attached
to a certificate concerning a cure
by Swift’s Specific., I wrote to him
about this remedy. His icply was
that “it is a wonderful remedy.”
I tried it and found the action very
much as described in the directions.
I used about one dozen bottles, ob
serving a steady and almost
daily improvement from the start.
I was entirely cured of this disa
greeahic and distressing disease.
That has been nearly a year ago,
and I find no signs of the disease
returning, and am icady to testify
with Rev. Air. Camplvell that

A Different Difference.
Mr. Bobaround has just told the
baker it was not the over produc
tion but the under consumption
that ailed this country.
“How much for this bread ?"
“Ten cent? a loaf.”
“My stars, man that‘s too
much !”
“No; the price of bread is all
right. It’s the value of money
that’s gone wrong."—Chicago Her
ald.
A doctor at Richmon 1 says that
if people will take a bath in hot
whiskey and rock salt twice a year
they will never catch a cold. Un
til somebody has tried this row
remedy we would say stick to

Cough Syrup.
Led by Example.
Professor Felix Adler say>: The
man who desired to see his children
grovr up bettci than himself would
not faii t«» improve his own lift
and -'haracter, so as to set them a
good example. I r a parent souglit
to curb the angry passions of a
child, that parent would most <»re>
fully guard against any ebullition
of temper such as would set an evil
example. If it was sought to have
the children avoid slander, no en
couragement at the table or in the
parlor would lie given to those who
meet only’ to rend their neighbor’s
character. Avokkal would be the
feast of those moral cannibals who
feed upon the reputation of others.
The moral nature and individualK
ty of children, Professor Adler
continued, should be ’•arefully stud
ied and respected. They arc. it is
true, lame of our bone and flesh
of our flesh, but we are only the
channels through which the river
of life is transmitted.to them. Some
parents make a point of trying to
mould their children into
ductions of themselves. But every
child has a right to its own
individuality. For instance, if a
boy shows a talent for art it is a
grave question as to whether it be
wise for the boy’s father to say:
Oh, I don’t want my boy to be a
painter; I mean him to be a law
yer.” Or, again, a youth shows
an intense passion for study, but a
friend of the father has an opening
in his counting house, and so the
instincts of genius are sacrificed to
the dollar. ’Thus the individuali
ty of that life is destroyed and the
particular message with which it
was intrusted to deliver to the
world is lost.
The Power of Love.
The Rev. Dr. Charles 11. Park
bust says: Love may be a sentiment
but it has lodged in it a powei of
strong effect. It is not merely a
state of feeling, but a potency of
feeling. The love of God is the
secret of Christianity; it is not a
new set of doctrinal ideas, hut a
new spirit within us. There is an
orthodoxy of opinion and an ortho
doxy of life A man may
be a great deal better or a
great deal worse than his creed.
Subsfantive moral worth ts not in
die opinion. A man may believe
m the sun and yet live in a cellar.
Things spiritual and things physi>
cal are much alike. There is pow
er in the explosive, but without
the bullet there is no effect. The
sword cuts according tu the
strength of the arm that wields it.
You give a dollar to a needy man;
the gospel value of the gift is de
termined not by what you have
turned into the dollar. Civiliza
tion witlmnt love does not make
men civil. L ngospelized intel'i
gencc is dangerous. Love is a do
mestic power. Prosperity aggre
gates men: affection congregates
them. Intellectual consciousness
is a mail’s consciousness of him
self; Chiistian consciousness is a
man’s consciousness of himself,and
the next man. Even a frozen
crystal will melt into a ear when
you breathe upon it.
