THE OLD CLIPPER SHIPS.
Tilt C APTAIN AN1) HIS POSITION ON
I.ITTJ.E KIN*;.
A Fa moan Captain and a Famous Vogajn*
Under Difficulties.
[From Harper 3 Monthly.]
A captain of a packet or clipper was
a Cunard much more important personage than
a captain to-day is. He was an
owner as well as a commander, and he
met the shipping merchants ou terms of
social equality. He was absolute master
of his vessel and ot every man on board
of her. A Cunard captain has no con
tro 1 over his engineer. His income was
often .< 50,000 a year consisting of five
Per cent, of all the freight money, tive
per cent, qf all the steerage-passage
money, cabin-passage twenty-Rve percent, of all the
money, the entire receipts ,
fpt ter carrying from the the British mails—two government pence a and let
two cents a letter from the American
government—and a salary of 6360 per
annum. Moreover, he had the privilege
or taking his wife, and sometimes even
his sister, board free. (Captain Creesv’s
wife could command a vessel as well as
he did.) A Cunard commodore receives
vn if $2,500 a year, a captain of a Ham
burg or Bremen steamship only 61,200 a
year; and while lie and his Cunard
brother have only to navigate their ves
sels, all pares of outfit, being relegated to
the port captain, our old packet or clip
per captain attended personally to
lading, rigging, victualling, manning,
and mauy other prerequisites to a ship’s
orderly departure, superintending and
payiug for repairs, and keeping a regular
business account with the agents, as one
merchant does with another. In this
way"iie became fit for the duties of man
aging a line of vessels. Two of Captain
Tmker s comrades were a son of the late
Professor Leonard Bacon, of Yale Col
lege, and a nephew of N. L. and G.
Griswold, the shipping merchants (No
Loss and Great-Gaip Griswold, the ship
pers used to call them), and in many in
stances also a native of New England,
with all a New Englander’s success-corn
polling pluck, push, and principle. To
day the rates of maritime insurance for
the same class of sailing vessels are fifty
per cent, higher than in the packet and
•clipper eras. Why? Chiefly because
the captains no longer come from New
Euglaud school-houses, nor the crews
fmra New England farms, but usually
from the gutters.
Captain Samuv. Samuels became fa
xnous in the clipper Dreadnought, and
it used to be said that with a strong wind
nothing ever passed her—not even a
steamer. Built Morgan, 111 Newburyport for
Governor , E. D. Captain Bam
uels, aud others, she was named aftev
the famous vessel in Admiral Nelson’s
fleet, her owners sending to England to
, 1 - or,,. 1 liner of *he
which they Dreadnaught, found to be Dreadnought! Her
and not keel was
laid in June 1853 and her first return
trir> from Liverpool made in February into
1854. On that voyage she scudded
celebrity by Cunard°steamer reaching Bandy Hook as
s< zon as the Canada, earlier!
which bad left Liverpool one day
reached Boston. In 1859 she made the
3.000 miles from Sandy days Hook to Rook
Light, in thirteen and eight hours:
and in I860 went from Bandy Hook to
■Queenstown, 2,760 miles, in the un
equalled sailing time of nine days and
seventeen hours. How often a first-class
steamship has been longer in going the
same distance !
Captain Samuels had a phenomenal ex
perience 011 a return in trip from Liverpool
In 1862. While the “tempestuous
forties” he saw a big sea coming, and
shouted to the sailors to hasten forward,
while he put himself under the bill
warks, with one leg around a spkr. The
wave struck, sending him whirling across
the neck, and leaymg him leaning half
over the bulwarks on the 'fiber side,
with a gash Just m his he head about and to one topple leg

over into the water in an unconscious
state .ie was rescued by several of his
men, and on coming to himself was lying
upon a wet sotft in the cabin, on the floor
of which were several inches of water,
his fore-leg fractured, and the bone pro¬
truding through the flesh. As there was
no surgeon on board, the limb captain pro¬
posed to amputate the himself, but
yielded to the remonstrance of hie offi¬
cers, who, by putting forth their strength,
succeeded in pulling the ieg straight,
but could not keep it so. In the confu
sion the men left the wheel; the tiller
was heard surging to and fro. The dis
abled captain gave orders to secure it.
Presently it broke oft* and then the rud¬
der went too. For three days the Dread
nought lay in the sailors, trough of the an angry direc
sea, while the under
tion of thd captain, who was constantly
suffering the most excruciating Successful tortures,
constructed a new rudder.

The Fallacy of the ‘•tree” Lunch,
The sturdy and illustrious mechanic
—the backbone of American prosperity
—j s a believer in and a patron of the
free lunch. It suits him, without in
fo e slightest degree jarring upon his
independence or his self-respect. He

be considerably increased when lie gets
ten cents for a thimbleful. The same
sort of thing obtains in the matter of
lager beer and porter and ales. A large
schooner of lager costs five cents, and ft
pony, about a third of a. schooner, like
wise costs five cents, which is at, the
rate of fifteen cents a schooner. Thus
taking a pony for the “good of the

brief hour drink a good many ponies

not stow away a good many free lunches

countries, notably in England, ferment

At the Wrong House.
Alex. H. Stephens had a keen sense
of the ridiculous, and used to relate
aneedotes from his own experience to
amuse liis friends. One which he was
very fond of telling occurred during
his service in Congress before the war,
when Senator Edward Everett and. M.
de Savtiges, the French Minister, re
sided in adjacent houses on G street,
One evening, as the gifests invited by
j[_ <je Sartigea to a dinner party arrived,
jMr. Stephens earn© with them in even

having invited the well-known Repre¬
tentative from Georgia, asked him if he
desired to converse with him ou any
subject.
"No. thank you. replied Mr.
Stephen.-, who went on chatting with
the other guests.
AI.de Sartiges went to his dining
room, told his butler not to announce
dinner until that little gentleman in the
parlor had gone, ami returned there,

Journalism in the Black Hills, says a
Dead wood correspondent, is not always
the most pleasant occupation to bo fol

when Dead wood, a “camp” and not a
city in any, sense, was wild and often
lawless, and all nights were hideous,
that an election was held, the first, I be*

The » isho P WHberforce, of. En
gland, was tlio most eloquent preacher
on the bench ot bishops, the most ener
getic worker in his diocese, and the
most accomplished and witty leader in
society. Many who were, jealous of his

disliked liis Church princi

and a to sacrifice eoitvifitions
for social success. He acquired the un
dignified and .suggestive nickname of
“Soapy Bam.” But ho never showed
greater presence of mind, or more ready
wit, than in interpreting this nickname
under trying circumstances. He was in
a large and fashionable company, where

A Rood Smoke-House.
The day has gone by when farmers
were content with a little fresh meat at
the time of slaughtering their swine,
and the ordinary fare of pickled pork
thereafter. They want the appetiaing
sugar-cured hams as well, and there ap¬
pears no reason why these should not be
on the table of all who raise pork.
To produce nice smoked meat one
must have the suitable conveniences for
curing the same, hence the necessity of
a good smoke-house. A good smoke¬
house, by the by, does not imply great large
expense; far from it. A space
enough to accommodate the hams and
shoulders to be smoked, that can be in¬
closed and filled with smoke, is all that
is required in the way of a house. All
old farmers know that a sweet, clean
hogshead makes an efficient smoke¬
house, where only a small amount of
meat is to be cured. In many of the
smoke-houses on farms'the fire is mad*
out a stone slab in the middle of the floor.
In others a pit is dug about on© foot
deep in the ground and the tire placed modern in
that. In some of the more
smoke-honses the fire is made in a pit
outside of the. house and the smoke
communicated to the house by means of
pipes. Slab shelves are provided pieces in of
other houses upon which the
meat are laid (Bkins down) during the
smoking process, instead of being hung
up, according to the old mode.
A plan common in some sections is
building tlio smoko-housee ujxm a brick
wall and over a brick arch, through
which a number of holes or spaces are
left in the brick work for the smoke to
pass through. Beneath the arch is th«
ash-pit, and a door opens into this. The
door to the moat-room by this arrange¬
ment is reached with the assistance of
a ladder.
Meat, in whatever kind of a smoke¬
house it is prepared, ought to lie con¬
tinually surrounded by smoke produced
from material that imparts a pleasant
flavor, as good hickory wood or corn
cob6. While the smoke should be con¬
tinuous, 111 © smoking process must not
be hastened to such a degree as to raise
,, , . ... . u . ...
the cr, 0s t the ^moke f f 1 hor
ouglily permeating its entire substance.
In brief, the fire from which the smoke
arises should neither die out or blaao
up in flames, but merely produce em¬
bers sufficient to send up a steady carefully smoke.
Old smoke-houses ought to be
cleaned out previous to use, and the fix¬
tures upon which the meat, is hung or
laid examined, to insure their being
strong enough for their work.
Dakota’* Hanging Farms.
“Yes, gentlemen,” continued the Da¬
kota man, “we have got the biggest
country , the biggest people and the big¬
gest farms there arc anywhere on earth.
What, d’ye think of farms throe or four

kota man leaned back and enjoyed the
astonishment of the mob.

- ' man, who hail taken it all in.

“We don’t do any business but
whi >a<. ”
“1 don’t think I want any of it,” re¬
marked the quiet man. "It. looks to
me. as though there couldn’t be any
houses to live in up that way.”
“That’s so,” murmured the crowd.
“Houses!” exclaimed the genth ‘nmn
from Dakota. “Houses! houses! Why,
when I say that Territory contain#
more and better buildings than all the
rest of the United States put together,
[ am ashamed of myself Houses! lor the mild¬
ness in which I draw it! Gen¬
tlemen, it is a positive fact that there
isn’t a square foot in that Territory that
isn't built over, and in some cases they
have to run poles off the roofs of the
buildings already erected, and on those
poles they have built houses right over
tlie streets and roads. That’s wlmt
keeps us so warm in winter and cool in
summer. The yoJd pul sunlight never
get through.”
“J)o I understand you t hat every foot
of that country is roofed in?” de¬
manded tin quiet man. “Inthat a fact,
or are you gassing?”
“Just as sure’s you’re horn," replied
the Dakota man, promptly into and confi¬
dently. "If a man goes that dis¬
trict, with the idea of building lie’s go¬
ing to he left hard.”
“Jr' that ease,” rejoined the quiet
map, slowly-—“in that case, will you lio
kind enough to explain to me just where
those big farms you have been -peaking
of are located?”
“Stranger,” said the Dakota man,
“stranger, you think you have put a po¬
ser, bill there is just where we utilize
everything that leads to wealth. Gen
tlemen, them farms is outlie tops of
