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.” Bill Nye on Drunkards. In the matter of temperance, writes Bill Nye to the SanFiancisco Ingleside, 1 may say that no one would pick me Out as a radical on cither side of the question. It is my doctrine that the evil of intem perance will wmk its own destruc tion when the proper time comes. 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 times, and then waking them up at night to ask them if they have violated their solemn obligation. You may convince a reasonable human being, butjon can not teach him a great truth by paintfng it on all the board fences in I the civilized worl 1 and then running bi n i ito those board fences till yon have smash ed his nose several times, and taugt him to despise both you and the cause you represent. The above solemn chunk of phil osophy was written . for me by a warm friend, who told me that when I got tired of writing mere f'oth and foam and so flishness for the amusement of a sorrowing world, and wished to put tog -ther a few sentences of seas • to sur prise the public with, he would be tickled to death to came around after office horns and write me a few without charge.

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. Chas. D. Baler, Publisher, Editorial Room Temperance Ad vocate, Atlanta, Ga. “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 Swift’s Specific “is a wonderful remedy.” R. Al. R. Charleston, S. C. Feb. 5, 1885. Treatise on blood and skin dis eases mailed free. The Swift Specific Co.. Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga, 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 the old and reliable Dr. Bull’s 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. He Followed, the Doctors Instruc tions. “Why, doodle, what have you i been doing? Y our face is as red as a beet.” “Doctor, you told me to keep my head cool and my f» et warm, didn’t you?” “Yes” “Hot air rises, dmi’t it ?” “Yes.” “And cool air descends.” “Certainly.” “M ell, I’ve been standing on my head in the corner there all the afternoon."—Chicago News. Railroad Intelligence.—When Alajor Converse was laying out the line of the Sunset route to San Antonio, he one day took observa tions with his instrument near the I cabin of an old negro on Cibolo I creek. “Bos s , am de railroad gvvin- j ter rorne ncah my house?” “It will j go right through it,” replied Con verse “Hit will?
