There is probably no class of people
in the world so full of BUjioretitions be
lief as the avornpo sailor, unless, indeed,
it be the negroes of the South. This
belief in omens of the sea Is not confined
alone to forecastle men, but is to a
greater or looser extent shared by cap
tains and mates. In conversation a few
days ago with a grizzly bearded and
bronzed old mnrincr, who lias trod tho
quarter-decks of ships as master for up
ward of a qnartcr of a century, a re
porter broached the subject of tho super
stition of sailors. ‘‘Do sailors believe in
omens?” said the Captain, repeating
tho reporter’s question, “well you can
bet. your starry toplights they do. They
are tho orankicst lot of men in tho world,
and yon would bo astonished to know
what trifling matters sometimes causes
them to give up going on a voyage. 1
hovo known sailors to predict the direct
calamity of a ship because they happened
toauoezu white going on board. Then
again, if a vessel is delayed in port and
does not sail at the appointed tinin it is
a bad omen, according to Jack’s ideas.
They have good omens too. A fair day
when they ship is a good sign, and if
the sun is shining brightly on tho day
they sail it is a sign that, tho vessel will
have a speedy and prosperous voyage.
A badling head wind leads sailors to the
belief that there is a Jonah on board
and they do all sorts of tilings, such as
burning a piece of an old sail or rope-
yarn and the throwing overhoard of a sea
biscuit to exercise the evil effects of his
presence, and when the wind does shift
and becomes fair they attribute it to

An old ssilor is called “a whale." A
drunken man is referred to as being
"threo sheets in the wind,” no doubt
because he staggers like a ship in a
storm under shortened sail. As to the
use of profanity, sailors are peculiar.
They do most of their cursing in heavy
weather, when sails are being furled and
when the wind is howling through the
rigging with terrific force. Tako him in
/air weather, howover, and ho is a mild
sort of a person, seldom swears and
cheerily braces the yards around to the
ttuie of “Ye ho, heave a ho, for to Hong

A STOUT OF A ORBAT ACTRESS.
i met one day last week, says a news
paper correspondent, an old lady who
told me this story of Ristori, of whom
she spoko in terms of most dovoted
friendship. The story has never, she
told mo, been printed lief ore:
Madame Ristori was playing in the
city of Madrid, in the Royal Theatre,
8ho had carried the audience sway in
the act by her great power, tho curtain
,-„at wh en j\tr. i m o n wore } J?d fallen , on tbe firBt «*. unusually
at. e o ca I n Th re is not n, lon ff npplnuse ocotirred. No one could

and limber ctiHuro laws, as they now
stand, one person may become tho own
er of 180 acres of tho public domain—
160 acres under oach. This is too large
nil amount of laud, in our opinion, for
any one person to acquire in this man
ner. We think thnt tho policy of the
government should bo to furnish as
many of ils citizens with comfortable
homes ns long in tho future as possible,
and 100 ncres is sufficient for this pur
pose. lly giving them this amount it
will not be many years until all our pub-
understand her absonee. The time
came and passed when sho should have
resumed play. What was the meauing

“Madame," she said, “do you hear

“Yes.”
“Thnt Iteil tolls for the death of my
husband; ho will die at sunrise to-mor
row. Won’t you,” implored tho woman,
“plead for me? The queen sits in tho
box yonder.”
The great tragedy queen went to the
Insert off j royal box and begged for tho life of that
man—a man that she bad no particular
interest in, but simply ltoeause he was
going to die, Madame Ristori pleaded
so well with tho queen that with a lam
ed she wrote his reprieve, and he was
saved. Meantime tho truth had crept
out among tho audience, and when tho
curtain rose again tho wholo audience
sprang to their foot.
Tears ran like rain. Hats and hand
kerchiefs were waved, shout after shout
wont up from the multitude—not for tho
tragic queen, but for the woman in
finitely greater—tho woman that pleaded
for a life and not in vain.

“1 remember au old fellow I once I
shipped at Liverpool for tho voyage
homo to New York,” continued tho cap
tain. “Ho was a veritable old sea dog
and the crow at once set him down an
a Jonah. He waH culled Liverpool Jaok,
and was tho queerest chap I ovor saw.
Ho wanted tho voyage prolonged as
much as possible, aud ono day tho men
caught him in tho foretop whistling for
a head wind, aud, sure enough, tho fol
lowing morning the wind shifted and
came dead from tho head. This, of
conrse, necessitated tho frequent tacking
of tho ship, nnd the curses of the crew
wero lond and long. That wind stuck to
us for three days, and the crow decided
to chuck Jack overboard, and I believe
they would have carried tho threat into
execution had not tho wind changed.

considered as ono of tho worst ‘hoodoos’

forecustlo men. Its prescuco forolclls
an approaching storm, and this sign hard
ly evor fails. A seaman would as soon
think of swimming across tho I’acillc
Ocean ns to molest ono of tho chickens.
Then, again, it is bad luck, as sailors
soy, to kill these gulls that follow sliiph
out at sea, as thuy aro considered tho
harbingers of goisl luck. If dolphins
aeoompany the vessel, it is also consid
ered a good omen.”
A singular incident happened sonic
jenm ngo on bonrd an American ship,
A few days out from Now York, a booby,
a bird somewhat like a gull, but much
smaller, alighted iu tho foretop, and ono
of tbe sailora went up and caught it.
Tho booby wns brought on deck, where
it was attacked by the ship's dog. Tlio
animal flew at the bird, which drove its
bill down tho dog’s throut, and thus tho
two remained until separated. The
booby was thrown overboard and was
not seen for some tirno, when suddenly
it reappeared, perched in the fore-top
again. A sailor went aloft and captured
it, and it was brought down and taken
into tho forecastle where tho sailors held
a trial aud tho bird was sentenced to I
death. Tho executioner was the car
penter, and tho unfortunate) booby was ;
beheaded. Tho dog disappeared lifter
the encounter, but immediately after tho
bird was killed it canto on deck and began
running around iu u circle. This was
continued for some time, when suddenly
it made a dash for tho stern of tlio ship
and jumped overboard. Even tbe cap
tain, a Boston man, was affected by the
incident, and for several days the deepes-1
sort of gloom prevailed among those on
board, and a majority of the crew pre
dicted Bomo disaster before the end of
the voyage, and none felt eutirely easy
until the port was reached.
In addition lo being superstitious,
sailors havo queer names lor things on
shipboard. His bunk in tho foroaatio lie
terms his pew; ho says “aft” for “abat”
and “fornst” for “forward.” Tlio cap
tain is known as tho “old man,” the
carpenter aa “oliips” and the cook is the
only man abaft the foremast that has the
distinction of having l ia office men
tioned iB connection with liis name, and
day-boards around on vacant lots, rushed
out of tho corner yard, knocking Jones
into tho middle of tlio street, audsoatiug

"Look here,” said Jones, gotting up j
slowly out of tho dust, “I call this taking |

that way of doing things! Howover, I

A Glass of Ilcor.
Stories of llio Cyclone.
Remarkable stories aro told of tho lost
eyclono in Georgia. In Chiploy, when ! J?!j a * ed
Mrs. Luuford was found tho morning ■ tonutson s
after tho eyclono, site wns lying aiuid tho !
wreck of her homo, Iter infant child !
clasped in hor arms with an embrace so '
stroll" that the strength of four men wns I
required to releaso tho child from her I
grasp. Though the homo of Dr. Thorn
ton was scattered like chaff before tlie !
wind, his wife and babe, that was lees ,
than two weeks old, were blown somo
distance, and yet were left upon the I
feather bed without tho slightest injury. !
Mr. Irvin was quite sick iu bed on tho !
night of tho storm, but when tho crash
came and his children wero buried be- j
neuth the timbers, ho rushed amid tho
ruins aud with superhuman strength lifted
largo timbers from upon them. It took j
four men to handle somo timbers after- t
word thnt ho had lifted alone. Mr. Leo
Alford was standing ngii'iist the door,
: his children clinging to him for protec
tion, when the winds siezed him and
hurled him moro than a hundred yards
“Mamma," said Bessie Ashton,
“didn’t you say that a glass of Inter j
made a porsou feel good; and that it
was healthy and harmless?”
“Why, yos, Bessie, I think I did,” ,
Answered 'Mrs. Ashton, slowly, some- ,
what puzzled ut Bessie’s question.
".Mrs. Thompson don’t, think so,
mamma. The poor woman just orios
nearly all tho time.” |
“Cries?” interrogated Mrs. Ashton,
in surprise, for sho believed her neigh
bor to bo ono of the happiest of women,
Yos, mamma, cries all tho time,” rtv
ssio, with emphasis. “Mr.
Thompson’s checks looked puffed away
out, nud his faco is always ho red. Sho
nays ho is cross and scolds continually.
But ho didn’t used to l»o that way. He
only drank one glass of beer then; now
he can drink six nnd eight, and ho gets
mad at everything. It don’t soem to
mako him fool good or look healthy.”
Mrs. Ashton’s countenance assumed a
serious change.
All an Accident.
“To show yon how accidents may oc
cur,” says the oditor of London lYuth,
“I will toll you a case in my own expe
rience. Ono of the best known men on
the press sent mo n paragraph, its basis
xvas political, but it contained a reflec
tion on an individual. 1 passed my pen
through the reflection. The printer,
however, imagined thnt I meant to un
derline it, and printed it in itnlios. The
individual brought an action. I, of
course, acoepted the responsibility, aud
did not Htato in my pleadings what had
really oocurrod, for I thought that peo
ple would say thnt I was trying to got
out on a subterfuge. Well, we each
spent nltout £300, when I came to the
conclusion that my best plan was to
