A BOV WHO WAS WILD.

Interesting? Ctory- of Adventures.
from the Xew York Mail and Ecpects.
Pjve yew* ago the wu of Mr. John White,
of Bvnuiisf, was sei.t to sea heenuse he "'as
tvijle wff l. From Melbourne Mr. White
received a letter from the Captain elating his
win had deserted find gone into the interior
of the count'.'. Litter Mr. While received
letter from Ids boy saying he was in
Alelbourne. Month-, passed, and hearing
nothing more, Mr. White sent to the
American Consul to try and get si . news
ot - |,is sou. Ho received a reply that it
voune man answering White’s description
had died in the Melbourne Hospital ot ty
nhoid fever. The family have mournod for
their dead bov. Lust week they were sur
prised by his'rcturu.
Two da vs later, when W bite had been
home long enough to be allowed out of his
parents’ sight for a few moments, ho was
J ue , v.y a reporter, to whom he told
the story of his wanderings. Seven year
uso when he was only nineteen,
hv was about as wild a boy as could bo
found wandering about without a keeper.
‘‘My por.r father tried everything to per
suade mo to keep straight,”' said White,
“hut our morning when I returned from
Yale with ail invitation in my pocket to
keep away from the college in the future,
tli<> old gentloinau lost the last vestige of his
temper and decided to send me to sea. I
did not much mind the prospect then, but if
I had known all I would have to go through
I think I would have cut my throat before
I started. Arrangements were made for me
on the ship Black Hawk, bound to Mel
bourne. Australia. 1 was to live iu the
house with the carpenter and boatswain,
and to take my meals in the cabin at the
second table. 1 did so for two days, but at
the end of that time the Captain ordered me
to go aloft and loosen the mainroyal. 1 had
uot got over my seasickness, and the pros
rieet of climbing to that dlzv.v height was
not pleasant. I started all the same. I had
never been off the deck, but I hod seen the
sailors up aloft, and it looked so easy that I
w-.s quite sure I could do it almost as well
iisthev. When I reaced the top and found
I had to crawl over it like a fly 1 began to
weaken. To add to my troubles, as I
climlxxl higher the motion of the vessel
seemed to increase, and I felt, av, fully sick.
I looked down on deck to ask permission to
descend. Ere I could do so I became dizzy.
I did not wait for any further excuse, I
seized the first rope I saw and slid down.
The Captain was in a towering passion. He
swore at me and clubbed me until he got
tiled, and then said he would not have cabin
grub wasted in such a reckless way. I
could move into the forecastle and see if I
could eat salt horse and hard bread. It took
us 110 days to reach Melbourne, and my
life for that time was a torment. Every
time I went ou deck I was given the dirti
est kind of work. It was so bad that I
made up my mind to run away as soon as
the ship got in port. The first night we
made fast to the long pier at Sandridge I
slipped over the side with my best clothes
done up in a bundle and §2O which I had
brought from home in my pockets, And
started to walk the three miles to Melbourne.
A BATTLE FOR LIFE.
“I loafed around the Victoria Hotel the
first day 1 l eached Melbourne and got in
with a rather tough set. Poker was pro
posed in the evening, and I was done out of
every cent. I had paid a day's board in
advance, so I went to bed and thought over
what I should do. I decided to go to sea.
again. The next day I returned to the same
hoarding-house keeper who had liidden me
away and told him I wanted a ship. He
soon procured me one going to Shanghai,
China. 1 was obliged to ship as an able sea
man. hut I thought they could not find
out how incompetent I was until we had got
to sea, and then they could not throw mo
overboard, so I would get to China anyway.
The trip was not pleasant by any means.
The chief officer, in whose watch I was, took
a dislike to me, and all the nasty jobs about
the ship fell to my share. The Capriati was
a first-rate man, and did not allow any ill
usage,'so I got off pretty well until after we
had arrived in Shanghai,and the Captain had
gone on shore. Then the mate told mo to go
aloft. It was snowing hard. I wont up
with a pair of mittens on my hands. Tho
mate yelled at me to come down. As my
foot touched the deck he struck' me across
the eyes with a piece of rope having an iron
ring on the end of it. I staggered to the
combings of the main liateli and dropped
there with my head buried in my hands, I
felt a bucket of ice-cold water thrown over
in" and heard the mate’s voice telling me to
g't up. I looked at him, and though al
most blind, could see his figure standing
over me with the same rope. In a moment
the hatred which had been growing all the
months since we had left Australia seemed
to rise in me. I drew a sheath knife from
my belt and made one lunge with it. I was
too blind to se<> where I was striking, but
1 felt the blade meet something soft anil
leard a fearful groan and a lu-avv fall,
rnvrv thing seemed strange and indistinct
about me, but I seemed lo hear cries for tho
police, and then I felt the men take hold of
! ‘ ras ’ lllo * nto fhe cabin and ioelc me in a
little closet. In an hour the Captain opened
the door and called me out. I could not see
him very well, bccuuso I won still nearly
bund. His voice, I thought, was not harsh
as it might have been. lie asked me why I
bu.l t-ri -d t.o kill the mate, nnd when I had
told him he ordered me buck into the closet,
i tnt there for hours wondering !f fbe mate
wu s deed. After dark the steward came to
ui‘ with supper. He told mo that tho mate

| VAN TILBERGH’S COLORED BRIDE.
Ho Married Her Out and Out, He Says,
and He is not Ashamed of it.
From file -Yctc York Sun.
New Bui xswicic, April IS.—Young
farmer William Van Tilbergh, of Ilocky
Hill, had been paying assiduous attention
' for more than a year to Lizzie Sim-
I mom, a pretty and intelligent light- mulatto
of it), who lived on her father’s little farm
near the Van Tilbergh place, A month ago
her father sent Van Tilbergh notice to
keep off his promises under penalty
ot criminal suit for trespass. Ho did
not want his daughter to marry a white
man. The notice served its purpose for a
few days, and Van Tilbergh met the girl in
a lane m his father’s orchard without the
know ledge of his parent*;. A week ago a
warrant was issued lor tho young man’s
arrest, because lie had been seen again near
the Simmons liouso. He, however, eluded
the constables, and it was supposed that the
union had been broken off, as nothing was
st-eu of him since last Friday.
Last night some time Van Tilbergh drove
up to tho old colored man’s house, and ho
was soon joined by the girl. Her rapid
movements through tho house aw'oko her
father, and, divining her purpose, he ran
out into - the road after her. Ho was just
too lute, as Van Tilbergh had hurried the
girl into the buggy and whipped up the
hoi-se before the old man reached the gate.
Van Tilbergh took a short drive in the
moonlight, and then quietly drove up to his
father's house. The girl was made com
fortable on the parlor sofa, while Von Til
bergli went to his room. Nobody else in
the house knew ol' her presence. At. day
break this morning the two stole out of the
house and jumped into the buggy, from
which the horse had not been unhitched.
They started for Princeton, where a colored
preacher named Charles Robinson married
them. After the ceremony the couple re
turned to the Van Tilbergh house, where
their presence caused a commotion. Old
Mr. Simmons had been all over the neigh
borhood, uinl had alarmed the people, who
almost in a body had gone over to the Van
Tilbergh house. When tho newly married
couple drove down the road a number of
the farmers threatened to tar and feather
tho yotuig man. He, however, declared with
dignitvi that ho had not dishonored the girl,
blit married her out and out. Old Mr. Sim
mons would not be reconciled until tho
preacher had sent word that the marriage
took place and was legal.
The Vau Tilbergh family are among the
oldest in the State, the property now owned
by them having boon in the family more
than IfOO years. The parents of tho young
man are in a quandary. An effort will be
made to break the marriage. In the mean
time the bride is allowed to remain in the
Van Tilbergh house.
The Goulds and Society.
/■Vom the Indianapolis Journal.
The Goulds have not yet made a move for
entrance into society, nor given tho faintest
indications ot intending to. At the Patti
operas, which have crowded the Metropoli
tan Opera House this week, the ooucededly
prettiest girl in the boxes lias been the bride
of young Georgo Gould. That doesn’t im
ply as much as it at first seems to. The two
extensive tiers of proprietary boxes con
tain, of course, the wives and daughters of
swelldom, not by selection, but by the
chances of birth and fortune. These women
represent the aveiugc of all New York as to
comeliness, and a glass can be swept along
for a dozen boxes tiefore focussing a tolera
bly pretty face. But drop your gaze to the
big erea of orchestra choirs' where a goodly
proportion of the girls have been invited on
their looks, and see how immensely higher
is the attractiveness. Men do like to take
out lovely maidens, and so it is that while
beauty is plenty at the Metropolitan, the
boxes do not contain any thing like their pro
portionate share of it. But Mrs. George
Gould is beautiful anyhow: and, posed at
the front of tho Gould box, she has been the
belle of the Patti wvek undeniably. If she
is ambitious to enter the society which ad
joins her in the boxes she has to curb her de
sires, for Jay Gould has not yet undertaken
to introduce himself to the Vanderbilts mid
the others of exaltation. As several clubs
have declined to welcome him, and the Stock
Exchange will not permit him membership,
it ts a puzzling question how strenuously
society would resist him. A common idea is
that one winter of gorgeous entertainments
would prove irresistible.
A Horse’s Ear for Music.
From the Massachusctt's Plowman.
,The following story is told by Fred Grant:
In his last year at West Point ho held the
position of Captain of Artillery. One day
the visiting officer, who happened to he lus
father, Gen. Grant, held an inspection and
drill. After the cadets had assembled on
the parari.'- ground, it was decided to give
the commands by bugle call. The officers
would then deliver them by word of mouth
to the men. Fix'd Grant had a notoriously
bad ear for music. He had never been able
to master a single tunc, and worse still, had
no idea of time. When the announcement
of the mode of giving the orders was made,
he rushed up to a comrade and said: “Great
coolness! What shall 1 do? I can’t tell the
difference between the ‘charge’ and tho ‘re
treat.’ ”
His friend advised him to change his
horse for Mazeppa, a horse of one of the ser
geants. She would carry him through. He
nastily did so, and watched evpry movement
of Ills animal during the ensuing evolutions.
When the bugle sounded “forward” the
knowing animal advanced and the command
was accordingly given to the men. When
the call of halt came Mazeppa stood like a
rock, and the proper order was issued by the
officer. In this way the horse, by its ear for
music, told its rider the orders of the day
and carried him safely through the compli
cated movements of tho drill.
He Thought That He was in the Land
of the Free.
From l/te Norwich Bulletin.
A fresh appearing German called at a
Norwich barber’s shop on Monday and had
his hair cut, his five shaved, and his mous
tache dyed. He was very particular to tie
fixed up in genuine American style. After
the tonsoriul artist hud got through with
him he inquired for a drug store, and was
about to leave without settling, whenhowns
reminded that tho work came to hoc. Ho
then said:
“1 have no money. Charge it to the
Castle Garden.”
The follow look'd honest and without
guile, and all that could lie made out of his
action was that lie had misconstrued the
word "fr xi” as applied l<> America, and con
cluded that in this country a man got any
thing ho called for for nothing. Every one
present laughed, and tho young German was
allowixl to go free.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1887-TWELVE PAGES.
A Fault B’inder.
From the Few Or [cum Timcs-Dcmocrat.
All husbands find fault with their meals.
I know this to lx? tine, because Mr.
Bowser says so. I think it nothing strange
when Mr. Bowser sits down to his dinner and
begins:
“Humph! Same old corned beef!”
“Yes, my deal - ; it’s the same corned
beef you ordered as you went down this
morning.”
“Oh, it is! I didn’t know but it was some
I ordered a year ago! What do you call these
things!"
“Potatoes, of course.”
“Potatoes, eh! I'll try and remember that
name, And what’s this!”
“Cabbage, my love."
“Oh! I didn’t know hut it was wood-pulp,
my love! Was this bread mode since the
wars”
“Certainly. It is only two days old.”
“Humph! Buying some poor coffee again,
I sec! Look at that! That stuff looks as if it
was dipped out of a mud hole!”
“But you ordered this very coffee yourself
only night before last.”
He growls and eats, and oats and growls,
and I’ve got used to it. It is only now ami
then that lie proceeds to violence. The other
day he expressed his fondness for pumpkin
pic, and I ordered tho cook to make two or
three. We had one brought on at supper,
and as soon as Mr. Bowser saw it lie sternly
inquired:
“What do you call that performance
there? When was it born, and where is it
going to?”
“Mr. Bowser, you said you wanted some
pumpkin pie.”
“Yes.”
“Well, here it is, anil as good a one as you
ever ate; I made it myself, after mother’s
favorite recipe.”
“Mrs. Bowser, do you call that a pump
kin pic?”
“I do, sir.”
“Then I want to-be branded a fool! What
do you take me for, anyway! Don’t you
suppose 1 was eating pumpkin pies before
you wero born?”
“Why isn’t it a pumpkin pie!”
“Why isn’t a boot-leg a boot? Where is
your other crust !”
“But pumpkin pies never have any upper
crust.”
“Don’t they? Mrs. Bowser, you can de
ceive the cook, for she is a. confiding for
eigner, and you can stuff most any yarn
down our poor little baby, hut don’t'try to
bamboozle mo. It won’t work. I'm glad bu
yout- sake that my mother isn’t here to laugh
nt you.”
In two days I U.'ulalclUir from his mother,
affirming that there, was no upper crust to a
pumpkin pic, and I brought my own mother
over in the ilesh as a further witness,
but w-hat did Mr. Bowser do but loudly ex
claim:
“Bosh! You old women have forgotten
half you know! You are thinking about
pudding and milk, you arc. Of course then
is no upper crust to’ pudding and milk, aid l
never said there was.”
Ho cost me a good girl last **veek
hv one of his whims. I happened to wonder
aloud during the evening if she had put
her bread to raise, when he promptly in
quired:
“Mrs. Bowser, do you know why bread
raises ?”
“Because of the yeast.”
“But why does the yeast expand tho
dough?"
“Because it does.”
“Exactly. You also live because you do,
and that's all you know about it! You ougnt
to be ashamed of your ignorance of natural
philosophy. I’U see if the girl knows any
better.
Ho went out and inquirod:
“Jane, have you put tho bread to raise?”
“Yes, sir,"
“Do you expect it to raise:”
“Of course.’’
“Why don't you expect it to fall?”
“Are you running this kitchen?” she
sharply demanded.
“V irtually, yes. My object is to see
how well you arc posted on natural philoso
phy. Why does the bread raise instead
of 'fall?”
“Because it’s a fool, and I’m another for
staying in a place where a man is allowed to
hen-huzzv about tho kitchen! 11l leave in
the morning!”
And leave she did, and nil the consolation
I got from Mr. Bowser as he came up to
dinner was:
“It’s a good thing she left. She might
have mixed some thing together which would
have caused our deaths. Come, now-, hurry
up the dinner.”
Mr. Bowser has improved some in the
direction of taking care of the baby. I can
now leave them together as long as fifteen
minutes without fear that one will kill tho
other by trying some experiment. They laid
been alone about seven minutes the- other
day while I was up-stairs, and when I came
down Mr. Bowser seemed quite agitated and
whispered to me:
“I've suspected it ail along!”
“What?"
“That our child is somewhat of amon
strosity! Look at that!”
And he pointed to a soft spot on
the child's head where a throb could be
detected.
“Every child has tho same,” I replied in a
reassuring v oice.
“Oh! they have, eh! Whot infants’asy
lum have you been matron of? Perhaps I
married tho mother instead of the daugh
ter! I tell you that’s a freak of nature,
that is, and I shan't bo surprised to come
home any day and find a. horn beginning to
sprout.”
How to Get a Pass.
From the Albany Argus,
A highly interesting conversation was
overheard (unintentionally of course) on a
Delaware and Hudson Canal company’s
train, bound Moutu a low days since, ns to
the projK-r method of obtaining an animal
pass over that company’s road. A passen
ger entered the car at nn np-uorth station
mid soon sighted a fric-nd occupying a seat
at the rear cud of tho car. The two gentle
men ut once asked how the world was using
them, respectively, which was followed l.y
one of them asking the other if ho hud ob
tained liis pass yet, and the following dia
logue then ensued:
“No, T haven’t, hut I will tell you, I have
just obtained judgment for a client of mine
against the company for a good round sum,
ami I think if I go to work in the right man
ner I can make them shell out.”
“Is that so? By George, you are a lucky
dog; hut bow cn.li you work it and do justice
to your client I”
“Oh, that's easy enough; I'll tell him that
the best tiling to do is to take iialf tho judg
ment, and save the large expense of going to
the Court of Appeals with tho company:
thut will satisfy him, and tho company will
ghvllv pay ft , and I will suggest that a \ma
will do mo for the 1 silane j of the amount
and give the road a receipt in fu!l, cud they
lietwr do it, for I have just found out where
I can get. two good eases against them, on 11
will put the screws right to them if they
don't twine down.”
“AU right, old follow, go for thorn. lint
| say! hold on! how about this new law—tho
company will take the darned tinss up in
April.”
“That’s easily wronged. You they
can ap|slint mo their attorney lor this sec
tion of the country. That makes moan em
ploye, which will cover the whole thing!”
"That's si. you’re solid, say! 1 wonder
