A BOV WHO WAS WILD. youne White, c: “ racuso, Relates an 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 , ’ more scared at the sight Of lus own ,!l '' ” t,mil hurt, and advised iuc to got ou* alia runaway. He gave me a lew dollars, uinl said a sanpnn would bo tinder the bows w had an hour. I suspected he was acting Captaiu’h orders, but I thought is toasKun question*. When the time came I tried the door. It waj unlocked, and with my shoes in my hand crawled rnougli the cabin and out <m dock.

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.

M. 11, Is**/ A Ju u . : >l UMguma atraat 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 why tho devil l can’t work some scheme to rafx- a pas-!
