Smith, in Helford'n Magazine. TWO PLUCKY WOMEN. I. THE CAPTAIN'« WIDOW. j In the month of July, 1857,1 j I ran away from a British ship which entered the port of Madras. I was a boy of fourteen, , -« had runaway to sea, and Captain and mates done their very best to fake the ro- j niance out of me. They had succeeded I so well that I shipped ashore, determined to die of starvation before I would re -1 turn to a life on the deep. No effort I was put forth to capture me, and two) weeks later, when I sat in the shade of a j wall one day, hungry and penniless and ( ready to give up, an English woman halted before me and began to question me. She was a small, slim woman, about forty years of age, quick of speech aud move- ment, and I got the idea at once that she was a sea Captain’s wife. I was not far out, us she proved to be a sea Captain’s widow, and was in command of a brig trading with the east coast coast of (’ey- Ion. She happened to be in want of an- other baud, and, utter being told what 1 could do, she made a proposition that I gladly accepted. j j J found tlie brig to be called the Orient. and She was small, but almost'new. j a rapid sailer. The cvcw consisted of an English mate, two Norwegians, a Preach boy who had run from his ship, and myself. Mrs. Sweet, the Captain, stood her watch, aud this gave the mate himself, a man, and a boy in bis watch, while she had a man and a boy only, though the cook had to turn out in her watch if required. The latter was a negro, big and powerful, and sailor enough to steer or go aloft. Mrs. Sweet, as all agreed, was a thorough sailor and a perfect lady, being able to navigate the brig anywhere, and being thoroughly posted in every detail of ship work. I saw on the brig’s deck, almost ns soon as I set foot aboard, a nine-pounder mounted on a carriage, and later on 1 ascertained that she carried a supply of small arms; but I gave the matter little thought and asked no questions. We got away next day after 1 joined, and we had a fine run down the cost to Cape Karikal, from which point we laid our course to the southeast. We had crossed the Gulf of Mananr, which separates the island of Ceylon from the southern end of Hindoostan, when the wind fell to a calm one evening at eight o'clock, and all night long we rolled about without making the least progress. Next morn¬ ing there was a he»vv mist on the water until after sunrise, and it gradually burned away without bringing the breeze we hoped for. When the horizon was clear we saw a bark-rigged craft of three times our size lying about three miles to the north of us. She had come down on the last of the wind, probably bound through the straits, and the currents had set her to the eastward during the night. Those were suspicious days, but the bark- looked to be an honest Englishman, and we gave her no nttentton until about mid- forenoon. Then the French boy, who was aloft, reported that she had lowered j two boats. The glass was sent up to him, and he soon made out that the boats ! were being maimed by armed men, and dark-skinned fellows at that. This [ j looked ns if the bark had fallen into piratical hands, and no honest trailer 1 could havo any honest purpose in arming his boats. ‘ I They took their time about it, and finally headed in our direction. Had there been any wind, they would doubt- lcss tried to lay us aboard. As soon as it was seen that the boats were headed for us Mrs. Sweet called us all alt ami announced that the stranger was a pirate \>ho meant our capture and destruction, She was a little paler than usual, but spoke in a low and even voice, and did not seem to he a bit. frightened. said it was a ease where we must fight for our lives. They would cut our throats if we surrendered,and could do no more if wc fought to the last. She seemed tone- cept it as it matter of eoqise that we would fight, aud she was the first to lend a hand lo clear away the gun. The two boys of us brought up the muskets and loaded thorn, distributed the pikea along the rail, aud then passed up shot and shell and cartridges for the big gun. Every- thing had been made ready for .just such emergency. There were thirty solid nine-pound shot and twenty-two loaded shell in the magazine, as well as about thirty cartridges containing the proper quantity of powder. As 1 afterward learned, all had been purchased at the Government arsenal in Madias. We were as ready as we could be be- fore the boats had pulled a mile from the bark. The mate loaded the gun with a shell, aud placed two others and several stands of grape near at hand. Our brig lay broadside to the north, headed to the east. The boatN must, therefore, pull bow ou to us until close at baud, even if the. plan was to separate and hoard from different points. This gave us a big ad¬ vantage, as we could all lay along the port rail. The gun was wheeled over, the decks cleared of every obstruction, and then we were ready, Mrs. Sweet had a double-barrelled English fowling piece loaded with buck shot. She was nearest the stern. The rest of us had ment muskets, I was pretty nervous, knowing what was at stake, and she noticed this, and kindly chided me, sa\ ing that. I must take good aim, keep cool, and that we should surely boat them off. She called the French boy over and told him the same, but there was no need of speaking to the others. They w:*re as cool ns if it was an every-day matter, and lie I heard the mate say to the cook that was afraid the felhjjK would back ouf.

I believe that every limn in that was killed. This ought to have dis- couruged the other, but it did not. She was pulled for us as fast as possible, and the stand of grape fired at her went too high. After that discharge we began to blaze away with the muskets, aud 1 bit one of the rowers and almost stopped the boat for a moment. While the mate and negro worked to load the big gun, the other five of 11 s banged away, and we at almost every shot. The boat came on, however, the wounded cursing and the 150 unharmed cheering, side and she was within feet of our when the nine- pounder roared again. She had fired a shell plumb into the boat. It had acted as a solid shot and gone through her, killing and wounding and smashing, and when the smoke blew away only three men were swimming about ou the surface. These we ordered aboard and made secure at once. The bark dropped another boat, but after coming lmlf way it returned. About, noon she got a riffle of wind which did not reach us, and made off to the west for the straits, to be seen no more. When we catne to question the prison- ers, who were lusty-lookiug cutthroats, we found that they belonged to.the Mal- dive Islands, around iq the Indian Ocean, They made no bones about admitting that they meant to capture us, and were surly and defiant over their repulse, They would not give us the name of the bark, aud even after she was out of sight they boasted that she would soon return to release them. At sundown we got the breeze and stood away on our course. That night, during the mate’s watch, the pirates disappeared. All asked knew' where they went, but no one any ques- tions. The two boats contained fully two dozens of them, and their loss must have saddly crippled the bark and completely changed her plans, It. THE captain’s WIFE. About three years later than the date given at the opening of this sketch I shipped aboard of a British ship called the Swallow, to make a voyage from Bombay up the Persian Gulf and back. She was an old craft and a poor sailer, and her crew of twelve men was made up of four or five nationalities. I remem¬ ber there were two Kanakas or Sand- wtcli Islanders, one Lascar, a negro or two, and the others were American, Eng¬ lish, and Dutch. We had scarcely Bombay when the Captain was sick with fever. His name wrs Aldrich, and his wife, whe was a woman of thirty, always sailed with him. Site now took command in a general way, aud this the satisfaction of the mates, though both were thorough sailors. I heard one them say that she could take au observa¬ tion or work n dead reckoning, and I from the orders she gave that she all about a ship. We had good weather and made progress until after wo were Muscat, in the Bay of Ormuz. Then, one forenoon, we <*ot a squall, which not last ten minutes, but which brought down our fore and main to’gallaut and carried away a sail or two. was only a light breeze after the had passed, and we were lying to hard at work, when an Arabian dhow abous 200 tons Ifurden came down the coast. We were within miles of the rocky and mountainous shore, but she was two miles inside of us. She was no sooner made out than the first mate became very anxious, and Mrs. Aldrich was sent for to come ou deck. She took a good look at the stranger through the glass, and as she turned away she queried of the mate: “Can we depend upon the crew to fight ?" “I hope so, ma'am,” he replied. “Have them come aft.” All moved aft, ami I can remember through all the long years just how she looked and every word she said. She bed a worried, anxious look, and no wonder, and there was n trembling in her voice as the said : “Men, you know that our Captain is very sick. Yonder comes a pirate if there ever was one. If he captures u« those who live through the fight will go into the interior as slaves ami worse. If we are all agreed we can beat him off. What do you say?” “We’ll fight to the last [’’shouted one, and the cry was taken up by all. “Thank God!” she fervently ex- claimed, “Give him a brave fight, and uo ouc can be blamed if we are defeated. Sooner than fall into his hands I will blow the old ship sky high and all of us i with her.” Wc had no cannon, but we had fifteen muskets, a lot of cavalry sabres, and the Captain had not dodged about those waters with his eyes shut.' He had, two or three years before, purchased u dozen hand grenades such as are used by the Chinese. These were brought up with the rest and found to be fused and 111 g°°d condition. They weighed about pounds apiece, and each was 11 net, so that it cculd be tossed a distance. We loaded our muskets, took our stations, and were as ready as we could be. The Captain’s wife alter- nated between the deejc and the cabin, Hh was out of his head, which was better for him, and she had his fo1 ' use - The dhow sueaked along until nearly opposite us. All work had been sus¬ pended alolt, and she must have known by this that wc wore ready for her: but she came on just the same. And no wonder. One of the men went aloft with the glass, and he made out two guns ou her deck and a perfect swarm of men. She was going to do a bold thing—run us aboard in broad daylight, She would not use her guns, fearing they would he heard and bring us assistance; hut if that mob ever gained our decks we were gone, Wc lay with our head to the northwest, so she would pass our port quarter first. Here two of the strongest men were placed with the grenades, and two of us with muskets were between them. The others were placed to fire over the stein. Down came the dhow, foot by foot, with never a cheer from the crowd of cutthroats on her decks. There was a menace in their silence, but it had uo effect upon us. We were detominad to fight, aud to fight till the last. I got the first shot, and knocked over a K»n on her forecastle, and then ull began to blaze away. She did not fire in return, but forged up on our quarter, and T could see fifty Arabs, each one armed with n crease, crowding against the rail to be ready to board. “Now, heave!” yelled one of the sailors with the bombs, and I with lighted 1 he fuses and heaved away. Before we could tell whul damage hud been done the dhow v, as alongside. She threw her grapnels, but they did not catch, and she rubbed our whole length and went ahead. As wc saw her failure we blazed away again with the muskets, and every ball found a man. She sailed like a witch, aud before she could be checked was a cable's length ahead. She had just put. her helm over when there was an explosion, followed by a great sheet of flame, and we saw that she was hard hit. Confusion reigned from stem to stern in a moment, and we added to it by peppering away at fair range. All ablaze within five minutes, she fell off, beaded for shore, and was run on a reef about a mile away. We saw some save themselves by boards and rafts, being swept in to the shore by the tide, but it was afterward learned that upward drowned, of forty-five men were killed or aud that the loss of the dhow broke up a bad gang of pirates. Mrs. Aldrich was on deck through it all, emptying the re¬ volver into the crowd as the dhow passed us, and when all was over she went down to her husband with face only a little whiter and mouth more firmly set. She did not betray her womanly weakness until she came to thank us. Then she broke down and cried like a—well, just like a woman .—New York Su.u. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. pretty dish op egos.

This gentleman, whose name will be known already by many of our readers from the time of his connection with the Dclaval Separator, was present at the N. Y. State Dairymen’s Convention, held at Ithaca 10th, 12 th of December, aud gave to the meeting some interesting state¬ ments concerning quite a new feature in agricultural progress. The subject of his address was a perfectly new method of utilizing skiiu-mitk and whey, and to prove of what great importance to a na¬ tion like America this question would be. .Mr. W. produced statistical state¬ ments from the United States Department of Agriculture, showing an annual man¬ ufacture of butter in the Stales of not less than one thousand three hundred million pounds, lion and four hundred and fifty mil¬ two pounds of cheese. Counting about of butter gallons of skim-milk to each pound whey and, say about one gallon of to the pound of cheese, the enor¬ mous waste of public wealth could easily be calculated even if no more than one cent's value to the gallon were allowed. With this new method, however, Mr. W. claimed not only had this waste been remedied, tual fact, but, as he could prove by ac¬ the farmer could make a profit of at least six cents a gallon on his skim- miUi, which hitherto had been considered him. quite valueless and almost a burden to The process of manufacture is quite inexpensive. in the The skim miik is curded manner usual in manufacturing cheese, only that a greater quantity of rennet and higher temperature is used, so as to make the precipitation as thorough in as possible. These curds are then placed a common cheese press, where it how¬ ever required undergoes ordinary a harder pressure than is for cheese and after¬ wards put through a simple process of drying dry and grinding, leaving the product of curds as free from water as possi¬ ble. These curds, containing a very high percentage of protein, i. e., that which constitutes the basis of all animal tissue, tnakes it very valuable as an ingredient iu In feeding cakes for cattle, horses or dogs, biscuits poultry food, etc., as also in bread, and other kinds of human food. By mixing only a small percentage of this extraordinary nitrogeneous casein in¬ to what is called compound feeding cakes, Mr. W. stated, cheaper kinds of grains, or ftiilling ing offals, may be used, yet produc¬ cakes superior to the best rape or lin- leed cakes. By adding the same to any kind of feeding take for milch cows, it will render, by its mildness, a finer flav¬ ored butter and maintain the normal live Weight going of the animal, even whilst under¬ a butter test.

A little lad of eleven years of age, in a corner of Germany, has confessed to having been a reporter for the last five years of his eventful life. The lad had been having a “lark” in the streets; the wily gendarme caught him and brought him up before the magis¬ trate, collecting where it came out that he had been material for “his paper,” and that, sinee he had reached the mature age of seven, he had been permanently en¬ gaged cidents, on the staff to collect news at ac¬ festivities. fires, funerals, and all manner of Hard to l>o. tirely To stand perfectly is difficult motionless, of accomplish¬ aud at ease, ment.

He obtains a thread which re- sembles silk very closely, and is equally strong and elastic. It is not attacked by, water, cold or warm, nor by the acids and alkalies moderately concentrated . 1 A great drawback to this silk is that it is! extremely inflammable, but it is possible! that by a change of treatment it may be rendered less combustible, If this is. done the new textile fabric will be one of the greatest value.
