SOME O c THE "QUEER THINGS SEEN
'-IN CLD SOUTH STREET.
Uu.lnt Hjurelnad. M'hlrh Iln.e Int*r-
IIUturle.—How Sum. of Them
Were Handled During th. I)r.ift Riot*.
A Peuln.l.llc .Mil Halt.
A battered looking old fellow, wearing
nn untinuated chin lieard tb»< was tbo
color of pickecl oakum, stood on South
street yesterday, gazing at one of the big
clipi>er ships tliut was loadiug prepara
tory to a trip around the Horn to San
Francisco, His gaze was somber. He
seemed in some way discontented with
affaire as they stood. Evidently he was
not pleased with his irauieUato sur
roundings.
“Handsome ship, that, 1 ' remarked a
bystander to the veteran.
"Humph," snorted ho of the oaken
beard. “Mebbe you’re a jedgo o’ ships.”
"Well, no, lint I thonght”
“Oh, you did,” retorts the veteran.
•‘Well, I thort you did. Well, that air
clipper she air well enough for her. I
ain't Rayin' sho ain’t bit handsome to
look at, but I’ve seen a heap better. Thar
wuz the Davy Crockett. She wuz a ship
as was liansum an’ as did hansnm. An’
there wnz—bat what’s the use? Times
is changed an’ ships is changi’d an’ South
street is changed. There’s more wrecks
along here than anything else.
"What d’ye think I seen along here
a while ago? Well, I went in one of
them jnnk shops where they keeps all
Borts of things that they picks up from
old ships, an’ shiver mo ef tliar in that
shop wuzn’t tho figurehead of a ship 1
sailed in thirty years ago. ’Twuz all
battered an’ broke, but I knew it at once.
Well, I bought It, an’ Tin goiu’ to take
it up to C’nettykut, where I live, an'
keep it there. An’ I ain’t goiu* voyagin’
through South street any more. It
makes mo feel like a castaway hulk my-
selft” With this tho ancient one re
lapsed into a Bilence which he would not
break.
TUB OLD STYLE FIOL’BEHEAD.
In ono respect tho old salt was right
enough. South street can Bhow an
abundance of queer relics of wrecks and
relics of brave men who liavo gone doWn
to tho sea in ships within the last thirty
years or more. There are a number of
Bhops that keep ail sorts of queer things
on hand. They pick those things up in
a variety of ways, and there is a consid
erable salo for them.
There are figureheads, for instance.
In the olden time every ship of any pre
tensions had a figurehond. Owners of
vessels vied in their efforts to secure fine
designs, and the enterprising gentlemen
who modeled the representations of fair
maids, sea nymphs, of trim midshipmen
or of admirals in uniform did a right
pretty business. A simple sort of scroll
work has taken tho place of the dashing
figures of tho past
Of courso there aro exceptions. Tho
big English fonr master, the Falkland,
lias an excellently modeled representa
tion of the Fair Maid of Perth above her
cutwater. The clipper ship Seminole
has a Seminole bravo in full war paint,
and there are others. In tho main, how
ever, the old time figurehead has fallen
into desuetude.
Just off South street, before a shop in
which nautical instruments are sold,
there Is tho figure of a sailor that has
evidently seen many and many a storm.
He looks os though ho hod been crimped
and shanghaied times beyond number.
Part of his nose is gone, some one has
made a pot shot at one of his eyes, bat
there is a jaunty, wicked leer upon his
face and an expression that says:
"Here’s a salt ns has sailed, an’ be
blowod to yc!”
effigy of okx. hoijvau.
There aro a couple of old figureheads
to ho seen on South street that have had
very hard experiences on land as well as
on sea. Ono of these is an effigy of Gen.
Bolivar, and was the flgnrehcnd of the
ship of that name.
Originally the effigy was to painted as
to appear dressed in full naval uniform,
cocked hat and all. At the time of the
draft riots the rioters, having nothing
clso to do at oue time, stood across tho
street and fired ballets at him. Ho re
ceived full many a wound that day, bnt
ho stands in hi* placo still, stiff and
erect.
Another figurehead fared even worse
at tho same hands. It was intended tt>
represent Samuel Kimball, of Kennebec,
Me., bnt it left the sea sorno forty years
ago. It was then placed where it now
stands, to call attention to a store. The
draft rioters had rare sport with it one
day. They tied a ropo around its neck,
dragged it hen. and there in wild glee."
Then they made it tho central figure of
a bonfire. Just as It was being consumed
the police came down and rescued it.
It was repaintod, and today, impassive
and dignified, it passes its timo studying
human nature ns it is on South street
But there are other curios to bo found
in this locality besides' figureheads.
There is onr shop where more or less
warlike articles can be found. There
you can sec ugly weapons taken from
Chinese and Malay pirates; yon can find
queer looking weapons taken from na
tives on the African coast or tho war
clubs of .the Patagonians—at leaat yon
will be told they arc.-Now York Mail
and Express.
It is not Jono tho composition wl^ch
determine, tho quality of a bell; very
ranch defends upon its shape. More-
the proportions between its hoight,
th and thickness aro all to be token
into con,,ii,ration. Tho dimensions,
roughly sated, which are deemed to be
tho best fa largo bolls, are ono-fifteenth
of tho diameter in ♦Ei« , an«« and twelve
times therhicknen in height

Dyspepsia
Makes the liTes of many people miserable,
And often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “ all gone "
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu-
Bidtroaa larity ot the ^wels, are
isipirQSS some ofighe more common
After symptoms. Dyspepsia does
p a t| ne not e Lt we *i of itself, it
szauiig requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones tho stomach and other
organs, regulates tho digestion, creates a
good appetite, aud by thus Slclr
overcoming tho local symp- „ 8 ’* 1 *
toins remove* tire sympa-rlOSuftClT A
thotlc effects ot the disease, banishes the
headache, and refreshes tho tired mind.
“ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had but littlo appetite, and what I did eat
Umar*, distressed me, or did me
UtUo good. In an hour
Durn ifter eating 1 would expe
rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling,
as though I had not eaten anything. My trou
ble, I think, was aggravated by my tmalnesa,
which is that of a painter, and from being
more or less shut up In a
room with fresh paint, hast ° ur .
spring I took Hood's Barsa- StOITiaCIl
rllla—took three bottles. It did me an
immense amount of good. It gave mo an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
tho craving I had previously experienced.”
