again promised himself that if be g3t on land
again he would never go to sea. He clenriy set
tled it in hia mind that seafaring was not hia
and that “a life on the ooean wave and
home on tho rolling deep" was not his idea of
poetry, and he couldn't deny it at alL
Among the passengers was a young man and
wife, and sick baby. The mother was too sick
to take caro of the child, and its tiny wail
was often tx*ard during the dark, gloomy night.
And while all sympathised, hot few were able
to help. The kind stewardess did all she could
to relieve the situation. To-day the sea is
smooth, crrryho ly is over the sea-sickness—
the father is on deck with the dear little baby,
who seems to enjoy the pleasure and gives ex
pression tofts joy by crowing and laughing.
The Huntsville, U one of the best vessels on
the line, and is considered by all the safest ves

is well managed. Oapt. Crowell, the general

seven years old, with his anole who was captain

port on tho globe. A more perfoct gentlemen
never walked the deck of a vessel.. A!any of
tho passengers can never forget his kindness to
them during their sickness or their voyage. All
bands wero vying with each other to make the
disagreeable tuition as pleasant as possible.
The coal beavers on these ocean steamers
have a hot limo of it Tfao thermometer stands
in their department at HO. They are on fonr

pert of tho day; a poor fellow came np from ter
below, »ll covered with sweat and ooal dust,
looking hke an ethiopian minstrel, And with a
fearful oath upon his lips, as he wiped the
sweat from his hfgrimmed face, declared it was
4 ‘hotter than boll'' down there. Poor fellow !
unless be improvos he will find out ho was in
error.
The passengers are now aU on deck watching
the vcisels as they pass. A oouplo of boys
counted thirty-five voasels yesterday, and np to
9 A. it to day, twenty. We also see numbers
of whole* who apontnp volumes of water as they
rise to the surface, and after showing their
bngo proportions sink down into the depths of
tho ocean. Wo also see immense schools of
porpoises bringing their shining linos to the
trarfaeo of the sea.

Crops In mtchell County*

Editors TtUgraph and Messenger: Thinking
a few items about tho crops in Mitohell county
might bo of intorosi, I asenme tho liberty to
write withont farther apology.
Tho prospect* for an ahnndant crop of both
ootton and oorn in our oonnty this year Are
somowhal flattering at prosont. On account of
tho oontinue 1 cool weather this spring, crops
are later taking a start to grow than nsnab But
we feel confident In saying that there hns not
been a innro promising crop of corn and cotton
in MitchoU since tho war.
Oor lands have been well prepared, well
worked, and have an exoellent stand of cotton
and oorn.
No signs, as yot, of tho cotton worm or insect
infestations. And with good seasons for the
next few months, wo bsvo reasons to hope for
bettor times to come. As tboro is yot much
nncortainty ss to the results of this year's crop,
nml tho rocklcssnons among our Southern farm
ers, paying high prioos for Western prodnoe on
long credit, high Interest, and all the contingen
cies of the "time system," to produce a large
area of cotton; and then in tho fall tho price
of cotton is low, consequently tho finances are
depressed. We long to hco tho time whon there
will bo more oorn anil ootton rAisodin ouroonn
ty, and less ootton planted, and smaller debts
contracted. Our citir.enB would then live more
happily with their families, bo more honest, tho
country at large have a strongor financial stand
ing ; for with tho present system of farming in
this country wo can soo no bright shining marks
for tho fuluro in cither its soiontiflo or financial
resources. Moro anon. Yours truly,

From the St; Louis Democrat.)
A Wimple WCorj of a Well-made Man.
Tho nimplo story of John Heflernan teaches
ns that honesty and patience are suro to be re
warded, more forcibly than that great moral
losson could bo Improssod on our minds by
didaotio disoouroo.
John Hcfforuan was a poor boy whon ho en
tered tho establishment of Messrs. Goldstioks
A Moneybag*; bnt ho brought to thorn a certif
icate from hU Sunday-school toucher, saying
that ho was an honest lad, who could learn more
verses and forget them quicker than auy boy
the oIass. Hia employers wero obliged to test
bis honesty in various ways, but he stood the
teat nobly. When Mr. Moneybags saw him
pick np a pin from the tl >or ho was swooping,
be thought that John might be guilty of takiDg
things, and dropped a ten-eent. shinplaster in
the same pi ace ; hut John honestly swept it out
without noticing it, and brushed it into a oor-
tier, where he could pick it np at his leisure.
Then Mr. Moneybags overpaid him his weekly
stipend by the amount of #1, and waited to see
whst the boy would do. At the desd hour of
night the Moneybags household was aroused by
the furious ringing of the bell. The old gen
tleman imt ou hi.* dressing gown and descended
to the floor, where he found John Heffernao.
with a tvar in his eve and a dol’ar bill in hi
hand. John declared that he could not rest in
bis virtnon» conch after diaooveriog the mis
take, nntil it was rectified.
44 Why didn't yon keep it F" asked Mr. Money
bags. 4 T would not have known that I had over
paid you."
'* iep it?" exclaimed John. "Little do you
kr the precepts that were instilled into my
yo hful breast by my sainted grandmother.
11 at I confess that the temptation was a strong
one. 1 was Having money to buy a Bible for
tny widowed mother, and had accumulated the
«u of fifteen cents. With this dollar 1 oonld
h • completed the purchase, And I admit th&t
I ! iked at it with longing eyes. Bat honesty
nphrd over temptation, and virtue is its
owi reward."
*’Keep Ihe dollar for yoar honesty," said the
her.- volent old gentlemen. "Bay yonr Bible
be happy.’• I would ask yon to merry my
daoghter and would take you into partnership
in the tuual way; bnt it happens that my daugh
ters are nil sons, and you must excuse me for
the present.
John went home, his heart swelling with the
consciousueas of having done his duty, and
made a dollar dear. The next day he invested
that dollar in a cbnekaluck ontflt for the l>eneflt
of the benighted young heathen in the next
alley.
Young Heffernan was then promoted to
d§«k, anJ a tir» dollar bill was once plaoed
temptingly iu his ti'Ach ; bat John was aecarw
in bio honesty, and wasn’t certain that the bill
was a good one. Then he was pat in charge of
the bank deposits, and his character for hones
ty was established.
One day, whon he.was going to the bank, he
looked at the ticket as nsnal, and discovered
that he waa the bearer of $3,000 in currency.
He thuu knew that the time had oome for hon
esty and patience to be rewarded, and he stuffed
the bills into his pockets, and took the train for
ihe Wes'. Ue is now one of the most promi
nent residents on the pacific slope, where he has
already bought a country seat on the eoast, acd
expects to buy a seat In the Senate. Bat he
atilt preserves the ohuckaluck outfit that gave
him hia start In life, and points with pride to
the bank ticket, which proves to his children
that virtue is its own reward.
rOKOUT An A NCIESCC.
The ( oatplrnry lo Hub Ihe Bonk of En
glsoS-A Hare Heal.
The recent departure of Msodonnell, the
forger, from New York in the custody of Ea
gliidi detectives for London, where he will
a’and hia trial for being oonoerned in the s'
ries of forgeries upon the Bank of England
whereby the resources of institution were de
veloped to the tune of a half a million dollars,
suggests a short statement of the facts of the
oase that will be read with much interest:
Dating the autumn of last year four Amen
cans—George M. Msodonnell, A. Biron Bid
well. George Bidwell, and a man by tho name
of Nojes—oame together in England, where
they formed a copartnership for the purpose of
transacting illegitimate business. Macdonnell
bad jnst ft tuft hod a term in Sing Sing for “rais
log" a check on Tiffany for diamond*, when he
rejoiced in the name of Livingntooe; Noyes,
under the name of Kellogg, had served a term
in the New Jersey Stale prison for a similar
offence, and the two Bidwells had been in da
ranee vile in tho far West. These adventurer*
possessed foods amounting to about $30,000,
which they used as capital in their nefarious
transactions. Their first step was to invest in
genuine bills, so thAt they might get formn and
signatures which they could forge. Having
procured those for patterns, the young Bid well
-'A. Biron) went to the branch Bmk of England
with a proper introduction and deposited the
genuine bills for collection, stating that he was
the agent for the Pullman O&r Company, and
had had many transactions for that company
on the Continent. He said be wonld be in
receipt of foreign bills to pay for rights
which he had sold, and that his headquarters
would be at Birmingham. He opened an
account with the Back of England nndor
the name of F. A. Warren, and endorsed the
genaine bills for discount by that name. The
other Bidwell (George) procured paper to be
printed like the genuine bills, and these conn
terfeiU were filled up by Macdonnell for any
amount of which he happened to think. They
were then taken by Noyes and A. Biron Bidwell
to Birmingham and then mailed to tho Bark of
England for discount in letters signed F. A.
Warren. The bank discounted the bills, and
notified Warren of the fact by letter. Jlere
matters began to grow complicated. A. Biron
Bidwell weat lo the Continental Bank in Lon
don, after they had their plans at the Bank of
England fully nnder way, and was introduced
under the came of O. J. Horton. He deposited
in this bank the ehecks which he drew as F. A.
Warren on tho Bank of England, and vhicb
were paid. As O. J. Horton, A. Biron Bidwell
then drew his cheeks on the Continental Bank
to bearer, and gave them to Noyes, who got the
money in Bank of Eogland notes, which he im
mediately took to tboBink of Eogland and bad
exchanged for sovereigns. Noyes gave the sov-
* reign* to Msodonnell. Maodonntii took them
bac k to the Bank of Eogland and exchanged them
for notes, and with tboae notes the four conspir
ators purchased American bonds which they
sent to this country, and which have since
been fonnd addressed to varions aliases to
the amount of over three hundred thousand
dollars. Bo far, so good for them; their plans
had been very cleverly carried ont, bnt in an
unguarded moment the slip was made that
doomed them all. One of the forged acceptances
was payable so many days 44 after sight," and
thorf fore required the date of tho Bight in the
accept an oe. This had been omitted. The bank
sent it to the acceptors for rectification, the ac
oeptors said 44 forgery,” and then it was discov
ered that the bank had discounted one hundred
and five thousand ponnda of forged acceptance.
Just as this disoovery was made, Noyes ap
peared with a check of Horton for five thou
sand pounds with which to pnrehase more
United States bonds, and he was immediately
taken into custody. In the meantime, A. Biron
Bidwell bad married a young English girl, f»tat-
ng to her relative.* that he was the agent of tho
Fnllmac car company. On NoyeB* examination,
tho managers of the Bank of England stated
that F. A. Warren had represented himself aa
engaged for the Fnllmin ear company. The
relatives of Mrs. Bidwell read this statement in
the papers, and, upon comparing notes, it was
fonnd that F. A. Warren was A. Biron Bidwell,
and upon Bbowiogbla photograph to the cashier
of tho Continental Bank, bo was identified a*
O. J. Hortou. Mrs. Bidwell wrote to her friends
that hor husband was to fake her (o Madrid,
and thence to Oaba, and upon that hint A. Bi
ron Bridwellwas Arrestod in Havana. Macdon-
nell, as it will bo remembered, came to this
oountry, and was arrested upon bis arrival.
This fact was published in tho papers,
and George Bidwell, who bad eecretea him
self in Edinburgh, saw it. Ho wrote u let
ter of condolence to Mecdonnell without a sig
nature, bnt Reeled it with his monogram seal.
The faot of such seal and the postmark on tho
letter wore telegraphed to London,-and George
Bidwell was soon found in Edinburgh and ar
rested. Up to this time the losers by these stu
pendous frauds have recovered $20,000 in ac
ceptances, which are good, $310,000 in bond^
$1,100 in Bank of England notes, $11,000 in
sovereigns, and $3,000 in diamonds—in all, a
little over $345,000.
