Inherited Diseases. Iu the realm of disease the facts of la. hcrltaiicc are most numerous and oro dally accumulating. Here, t^as, they beeoroo ter¬ rible, faterul an-.l overwhelming. No fact of nature Is more pregnant with awful mean¬ ing than the fact of the Inheritance of disease. It min t - the physician on his dally rounds, paralysing his art and filling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greets pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering '.hem desolate. The Furle3 still ply their work of terror end death, but they are not now clothed la the garb of supersti¬ tion, but appear In the more Intelligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease. Modern scleuco, which has Illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, “The sins of the fathers shall bo visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent, of eases of consumption, (hat fearful destroyer of fami¬ lies, of cancer and scrofula, run In families through Inheritance. Insanity Is hereditary in a marked degree, bat, fortunately, liko many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear Itself out, the si ck becoming extinct. A distinguished sciential truly says: "No organ or texture of the body Is exempt from the chance of being thr subject of hereditary disease.” Probably more chronic diseases, which perm: ncntly modify the structure and functions of the body, aro more or less liable to bo i herlte 1. Tho Important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facts—aff. etiug so powerfully the happiness of Individuals and families and the collective welfare of the nation—are obvious to reflec¬ ting minds, and the best means for prevent¬ ing or earing these diseases Is a subject of Intense Interest to ml. Fortunately nature has provided a remedy, which experience has uttestod a3 Infallible, and the remedy Is the world famous Swift’s Specific, a pure vegetable compound—nature’s antidote for nit blood poisons. To tho afflicted tt ts a blessing of Inestimable value. An Interest¬ ing treatise on ”Blood and Skin Diseases” will bo nia'leil freo by addressing Tub Swi;t Specific Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga.

CHAPTER XVII. THE TREASURE. When his pipe was out he rose and mad* several strides about tho eook room, then took the lantern, and, entering the cabin, .stood aw hile surveying tho place. ‘■So this would have been my coffin but for you, Mr. Rodney:" said be. “I was in good company, though,” pointing over his shoulder at tins crucifix with his thumb. ‘‘Lord, how the rogues prayed and cursed in this same cabin! In line weather and " hen all was well, the sharks in our wake lmd more religion than they; but the instant they were in danger, down they tumbled upon their quivering knees; ami if heaven was twice as big r,s it is, it eouid not have held saints enough for those varlets tu peti¬ tion.” ‘'You were nearly all Spaniards?” “Ay—the worst class of men a ship could enter these seas with. But for our calling they are the fittest of all the nations in the world; better even than the Portuguese, and with truer trade instincts than the trained mulatto—nimbler artists in roguery than ever a one of them. 1 despise their supersti¬ tion, but they are the better pirates for if. They carry it as a man might a featherbed; it enables them to fall soft. “D’ye take me?” said, He gave “I hope one this of his slope short, loud’laughs, and won’t increase. The angle’s stiff enough as it is. ’Twill be liko living on the roof of a house. I have a mind to see how she lias. What d’ye say, Mr. Rodney? Shall I venture into the open?” “Why not?” said I. “You can move briskly. You have as much life as ever you had.” “Let’s go, then!” ho exclaimed, and climb¬ ing the ladder he pushed open tho companion door and stepped on to the deck. I followed with but little solicitude, as y’ou may sup pose, as to what might attend his exposure. The blast of the gale, though it was broken into downward, eddying dartings by the rocks, made him bawi out with the sting of it, and for some moments he could think.of nothing but the cold, stamping the deck in his boots and beating his hands. “Ha!” cried he, grinning to tho smart of his cheeks, “this is not the eook room, eh! Great thunder! you will not have it that this ico has been drifting north? Why, man, ’tis icier by 20 dogs, than when we were first locked up.” “I hope not,” said I, “and 1 think not. Your blood doesn’t course strong yet, and you are fresh from the furnace. Besides it is blowing a bitter cold gale. Look at that sky, and listen to the thunder of the sea!” The commotion was indeed terribly up¬ roarious. The rending noises of the iee in all directions were distinct and fearful. Tho Frenchman looked about him with conster¬ nation. and to my surprise crossed himself. “May the blessed Virgin preserve us!” he said. “Do you say we havo drifted north? If this is not the very heart of the South Pole, you shall persuade me we are on the equator.” “It cannot storm too terribly for us, as you just now said,” I replied. “I want this island to go to pieces.” As I said this a solid pillar of ice just be¬ yond the brow of tho hill on the starboard side was dislodged or blown down; it fell with a mighty crash, and filled tho air with crystal splinters. Tassard started back with a faint cry of “Bon Dieu!” “Judge for yourself how the ship lies,” said I; “this is freezing work.” He went aft and looked over the stern, then walked to the larboard rail and peered over the side, “Is there ice beyond that opening?” ha asked, pointing over the taffrail. “No,” I answered; “that goes to the sea. There is a low cliff beyond. Mark that cloud of white; it is tho spray hurled athwart the mouth of this hollow.” “Good,” he mumbled, with his teeth chat¬ tering. “The change is marvelous. There was iee for a quarter of a mile where that slope ends, ’Tis too cold to converse here.” “There are your companions,” said I, pointing to the two bodies lying a little dis¬ tance before the mainmast. He marched up to them and exclaimed, “Yes, this is Trentanove and that is Barros. Both were blind, but they are blinder now. Would they thank you to arouse them out of their comfortable sleep, and force them to feel as I do—this cold, to which they are now us insensible as I was? By heaven, for my purl I can stand it no longer!” and with that lie ran briskly to tho hatch. I followed him to the eook room, and ha crept so close to the furnace that I thought he had a mind to roast himself. The heat comforted him presently, and he put a lump of tvine into the oven to melt, and this comforted him also. “I can converse now,’.’said ho “Perhaps after all the danger lies more in tho imagina¬ tion tl:an in the fact. But it is a hideous naked scene, and needs no such coloring as tho roaring of wind, the rushing of seas, and tho crashing falls of masses of ice to render it frightful." “You tell me,” said I, “that when you fell asleep”—I would sometimes express his frozen state thus—“there was a quarter of a mile of ice beyond the schooner's stern.” “At least a quarter of a mile,” he answered. • Day after day it would be built u» till i( came to a face of that extent.” I thought to myself if it had taken forty- eight years of the wear and tear of storm and surge to extinguish a quarter of a mile, how long a time must elapse before this island splits up! But then I reflected that, during the greater part of these years, this seat of ice had been stuck very low south, where the cold was so extreme as to make it defj dissolution; that since then it was come away from the wain and stealing north, so that what might have taken thirty years- to ac¬ complish in 10 dogs, of south latitude might be performed in a day on the parallel of 60 (legs, in the summer season in these seas. Tassard continued speaking with the pan¬ nikin in his hand, and Ids eves shut r.a if to get the picture of tho schooner's position fair before ins mind's vision; “There was a quarter of a mile of iee beyond the ship, I have it very plain in my .igbt: it was it great muddle of hillocks, for the ice pressed thick and hard, and raised us, anil vomited up peaks and rock ; t ■ the squeeze. Suppose I have been asleep a week!” Here he opened his eyes and gazed at me. “Well?” said I. “I say,” he continued, in the tone of one easily excited into passion, “a week. It will not have been more. It is impossible. Nevermind about your 1801," showing his fangs in a sarcastic grin; “a week is long enough, friend. Then this is what I mean to say: that the breaking away of a quarter ot a mile of ice in a week is line work, full of grand promise; the next wrench—which might come now as I speak, or to-morrow, or in a week—the next wrench may bring away the rock on which we are lodged, and the rest is a matter of patience—which two—there wa can afford, hey? for we are but is nleiifv nf meat and liquor, and the reward afterward is a princely independence, Mr. Paul Rodney A was struck with the notion of the bed a! ice on which the schooner lay going afloat, and said: “Are sea and’ wind to Uj helped, think you! If tho block on which wo lio could bo detached it might float a bit against its parent stock, hut would not unite again. The schooner’s canvas might bo made to help it along—though suppose it capsized!” “We must consider,” said he; “there is no need to hurry. When the wind falls we will survey tho iee.” Ho warmed himself afresh, and after re¬ maining silent with the air of one turning many thoughts over in his mind, he suddenly cried, “D’ye know I have a mind to view tho plate and money below? What say youp* His little eyes seemed to sparkle with sus¬ picion ns he directed them at me. 1 was con¬ fident he suspected I had lied in sayiDg 1 knew nothing of this treasure, and that, ho wanted to see if I had meddled with those chests. One of tho p unities attached to a mail lieing forced to keep the company of liars is, he himself is never believed by them. I an¬ swered, instantly, “Certainly; 1 should like to sc ;!iii wonderful liooty. It is right that wr .Ji-nifil find out an once if it is there; for, suppo.,.': it, vanished, we should be no better than madmen to sit talking here of the line lives we shall live if over we get home.” Ho picked up the lantern, and said, “I must go to your cabin; it was tho captain’s. The keys of the cheats should lie in one of his boxes.” Ho marched off, and was so long gone that I was almost of belief ho had tumbled down in a fit. However, l had made up my mind to act a vorv wary part; and particularly never to let him think I distrusted him, and so I would not go to see what ho was But what I did was this: the arms room was next door; I lighted a candle, entered it, and swiftly armed myself With a sort of dagger, a kind of boarding knife—a very murderous little two-edged sword, tho blade about seven inches long, and tho haft of brass. There were some fifty of these weapons, and I took the first that came to my hand, anti dropped it into the deep side pocacet of my coat, and returned to the cook room. It was not that I was afraid of going unarmed with this man into the hold; there was no moro danger to ms there than here; should ho ever design to uispateh me one place was tho same as an¬ other, for the dead above could not testify— there were no witnesses in this white and desolate kingdom. What resolved me to go armed was the fear that, should tbe treasure be missing—and who was to swear that the schooner had never been visited once iu eight and forty years?—the Frenchman, who was persuaded his stupor had not lasted above a week, and who was doubtless satisfied tho chests were hi the hold down to tho jieriod when he lost recollection, would suspect mo of foul play, and in the barbarous rage of a pirate fa!! upon and endeavor to kill me. It might bo that he was long because of having to seek for the keys; but my own conviction was that ho found the keys easily and stayed to rummage the boxes for such jewels and articles /if value as he might there find. I think he Vas gone near half an hour ; he then returned to the eook house, saying briefly, “I have the keys,” and jin¬ gling them, and after warming himself said, “Let us go.” I was moving toward the forecastle. “Not that way for the run,’’ cried he. “Is there a hatch aft?’ I asked. “Certainly—in the lazarette.” “I wish I had known that,” said I; “I should have been spared a stifling scramble over the casks and raffle forward.” He led the way, and coming to tho trap batch that conducted to tho lazarette ho pulled it open and we descended. Ho held tho lantern and threw the light around him, and said, “Ay, there are plenty of stores hero. We reckoned upon provisions for twelve months, and wo wero seventy of a crew.” A strange figure he looked, just touched by the yellow candle light, arid standing out upon tho blackness like some vision of a dis¬ tempered fancy, iu his hair cap and flaps, and with his long noso and beard and little eyes shining as ho rolled them here awl there. We made our way over tho easks, bales and the like till we were right aft, and hero there was a small clear space of deck in which lay a hatch. This he lifted by its ring, and down through the aperture did he drop, I follow¬ ing. The lazarette deck came so low that wo had to squat when still or move upon our knees. At the foremost end of this division of the ship, so far as it was possible for my eyes to pierce the darkness—for it seems that this run went clear to the fore hold bulkhead, that is to say, under the powder room, to where the fore hold began—were stowed the spare sails, ropes for gear, and a great vari¬ ety of furniture for the equipment of a ship’s yards and masts. But immediately under the hatch stoo/1 several small chests and cases, painted black, stowed sido by side so that they could not shift. Tassard ran his eye over them, counting. “Right!” cried lie; “hold the lantern, Mr. Rodney.” I took the light from hijji, and, pulling tho keys from his pocket, he fell to trying them at the lock of the first chest. One fitted; the bolt shot with a hard click, like cocking a trigger, and he raised the lid. The chest was full of silver money. I picked up a couple of the coins, and bringing them to the candle perceived them to be Spanish pieces of 1739. Tho money was tarnished, yet it reflected a sort of dull, metallic light. The Frenchman grasped a handful and dropped them, as though, like a child, he loved to hear the chink tho pieces made as they fell. He loved to hear the chink. The next chest he opened was filled with jewelry of various kinds—the fruits, I dare say, of a dozen pillages; for not only bad thi3 pirate robbed honest traders, but a pica¬ roon as well, that had also plundered in her turn another of her own Atdnev; so that, as I say, this chest of jewelry might represent the property of the passengers of as many w a dozen vessels, It was as if the contents of the shop of a jeweler, who was at once a gold¬ smith and a silversmith, hail been emptied into this chest. You could scarce name an ornament that was not here—-watches, snuff boxes, buckles, bracelets, pounce poxes, vinai¬ grettes, ear rings, crucifixes, stars for the hair, necklaces—but the list grows tiresome; in silver and gold, but chiefly in gold—all shot together and lying scramble fashion, as if they had been potatoes. 1 was thunderstruck, as you will suppose, by the sight of all this treasure, and locked and stared like a fool—as If I was in a dream. 1 l!«U never seen w mauy tine uit..„. and indulged in the mo* t extravagant fancies 0 ( their worth. Here and there in the glit¬ tering huddle my eyo lighted on an object that was 100, perhaps 300, years old—a cup very c'. ' My wrought, that may have been in a f for several generations; a watch of c os figure, and the like. There mig i ve been the pickings of tho cabins, true ■ and portmanteaus of 100 opulent men ...id women in this chest ; nr.i' i far as I could judge, from wlint lav people plundered there represented sever . ..alilies. But were other chests and cases to explore—ten in all; two of these were filled with silver money, a third with plate, u fourth with English, French, Kpanish and Portuguese coins in gold; but tin ■ue over which Tassard hung longest in i .I’.uisport that, held him dumb was the smal, st of all, and this was packed with gold in bars. Tho stuff had the appearance of moldy yellow soap, and having no sparkle nor variety did not affect me as the jewelry had, though in value this chest came near to lieing worth as much as all the others put together. The fixed, transported posture of the pirate—his little shin¬ ing eyes inteniprpou looting the oars, his form in the caudle light like a sketch of a strange, wildly appareled man done in phosphorus, couplet! with the loom of the black chests, the sense of our desolation, the folly of our enjoyment of the sight of tho treasure in the face of our pitiable and dismal plight, the melancholy storming of the wind, moaning like tho rumble of thunder heard in a vault, and above all the feeling of unreality inspired by the thought of my companion having lain for eight-and-forty years as good as dead— combined to render if the scene so startingly impressive that remains at this hour painted as vividly upon the eye of memory as if I had come from it five minutes ago. “So,” cried the Frenchman, suddenly, slamming the lid of the chest, “’tis all here! Now, then, to the business of considering how to come off with it.” He thrust tbe keys- in his pocket, and we returned to the cook room. CHAPTER XVII!. WE TALK OVER OCR SITUATION. That night, as afterward, Tassard occupied the berth that hy was used to sleep in before he was frozen. Although I had not then tho least fear that lie would attempt any malig¬ nant tricks with me uliile we remained in this posture, tho feeling that ho lay in tho berth hut one next mine made mo uneasy in spite of my reasoning; and I was so nervous as to silently shoot a great iron bolt, so that it would have been impossible to enter with¬ out beating the door in. In sober truth, tho sight of tho treasure had put a sort of fever into my imagination, of the heat and effects of which I was not com¬ pletely sensible until Y was alone iu my cabin and swinging in the darkness. That the value of what I had seen came to ninety or a hun¬ dred thousand pounds of our money, I could not doubt; and I will not deny that my Fancy was greatly excited by thinking of it. But' .there was something else. Suppose we should have the happiness to escape with this treas¬ ure, then I was perfectly certain the French¬ man would come between me and my share of it. This apprehension threading my heated thoughts of tho gold and silver kept me restless during tho greater part of tho night, and I also held my brains on the stretch with devices for saving ourselves and tho treasure; yet I could not satisfy my mind that anything was to tic done unless nature herself assisted us in freeing tho schooner. However, as it happened, the gale roared for a whole week, and t’ > cold was so fright¬ ful and the air so charged with spray and hail that we wero forced to lio close below with tho hatches on for our lives.
