"n^dt'rT'rtiny night in the summer of
Jf the deck of the Emily St. Pierre, a
Jush-Iooking sailing vessel anchored off
t the largest wharves in Charleston,
** Y scene of unusual commotion. Site

LlamI the largest cotton firm in the
ij Tier sails were being unfurled,

’" r ; ner The steward, a burly negro,
,1» hid been horn a slave in the family
{Mr Trenholm, was the onlv one who
took things leisurely. Finding the- sailors
Illl5V w liten to him, he stood paring
. ,1,; darkness, whence shown, tar in
Je° distance, the lights of Fort Sumter,
£ further still, a faint glimmer on the
Stable horizon, which he knew came
r'”e or more men-ot-war that were on
r«tch for a cliance blockade vessel.
Thi« negro steward knew every inch of
he harbor as well as he knew the deck on
Lh he stood. The soughing of the
.ind, and driving gusts of rain, together
tith the intense darkness of the night
eemed to impress him unfavorably, and
.wakened some of his innate superstition,
le muttered to himself as a sudden rush
sf wind struck the bellying sa ils.
“1 don't like dis. De soun’ dat wind
brines from de pine barrens is like de
moanin' of a lost an’ wand’rm’ sperrit. In
e ole days Mas'r an’ me sent our cotton
raten dis port in broad daylight. Now we
neaki out vid de whitest an’ de finest dat
nows on de Sea Islands, jes’ like we had
^ er etealin’ somebody’s chickens. No
laealTyin', no sunshine on de deck, no
wavin’ of de bandannas on de wharf, but
„> so—in do dark, sly like er fox, an’
lodgin’ dem forts am gunboats like we
■ouldn’t no longer hole our heads up big
n’ high as enybody. I’ll give Mas’r a
lalk on dis subject if God spars me to
vine back, an’ jes as shore as iny name is
obn Calhoun, dis is my las’ trip under
uch sarcnmstances.”
When Calhoun soliloquized, two men
rere talking earnestly on the wharf. One
ras George A. Trenholm, the head of the
rm, and at that time Secretary of tho
fftssary nf the Southern Confederacy.
[The other was known as Captain Wilson,
the commander of the Emily St. Pierre.
He was called Captain Wilson because he
did not choose to use the name of an an
cient and noble house that had borne the
fleur delis on its azure shield in. the days
of Eourbon ^supremacy in his native
France. The r.miiy St. Pierre had *been
named for the beautiful daughter of Mr.
Trenholm, who, though a mere girl, stood
in the window of the main office of the cot
ton warehouse, lookihg out on the scene
before her. At her side stood a boy of
about ten years, who was also ready and
eager for a journey.
Like Calhoun, the girl seemed to have a
foreboding of commg danger, and silently
held the hand of her companion, ns if she
would like to keep him tit her side rather
than see him go aboard the restless ship.
The boy’s hand returned lier warm and
friendly clasp, but his eyes were concen
trated on the tall, sinewy form of liis father
on the wharf below him. Trenholm was
faying: “Wilson, do not take Leolynwith
you. It is a perilous voyage. Leave him
with me. 1 will bo a father to him if any
thing should happen to you. The sum of
SlojCOO shall be put to yonr credit in the
Bank of England as soon as your cargo
reaches Liverpool, and your success- is
more assured without the child than with
him."
“Kntreaty is useless,” Wilson answered
wmly, “| must hayg i,j m > v ith me. He
must become accustomed to perils. His
forefathers were brave men and never com
menced an enterprise with a forethought
of failure. I am determined to have him
wucated in Europe, and I see no promise
°‘ a better opportunity to take him on a
royage with me. The wind and rain are
'»our favor, and in an hour’s time we
ought to be beyond the forts.”
As he finished speaking he made a high
musical note on an antique silver whistle
i l “ rri ™ on his «atch-guard. When the
foy heard it his eyes brightened, and draw
'll* l,,.S'.rl’s hand through his arm lie
carefully led her down the office steps and
m**™* the two gentlemen. In a few min-
J M ” r - Trenholm returned with his
Mujbter and was driven to his home in
'■Mrleston,
» .1 sa ‘* on the Emily St. Pierre was
tfetched to its utmost tension, and as the
nehor chain rattled over her sides she
ns i Y* y ’ G t sunrise she had safely
Pm*od the eunlioats and Calhoun's uneast-
cs V* 0 "ld have entirely disappeared if the
unheams of the morning had fallen on the
Bag he bad been accustomed to
“ oe ole days” instead of the Union Jack
“«t was unfurled to the breeze as she sped
«»er an open sea.
. . THE CHASE.
t. | days afterwards, however, two large
wsral men-of-war saw and signalled the
auspicious lookinw shin. With sails
h,,. v* 8 ave them a long, hard race,
.'it as they gained on her and brought
l t’t.neavy ordnance to bear directlv on
r sides, she paused and surrendered. An
Pt »t a fight with such odds against
® w °uld have been suicidal. Cant. Wil-
ki”f ec f l ' re d the officers who boarded the
•mrtade-ranner with all the eourtesy of a
i ; n .*" 0 welcomes his honored guests. A
** m 'e»tigation showed them the na-
re and mission of the captured ’ ship,
j ‘Purious Union Jack was hauled
its til t * , . c ,tar * an d stripes soon took
place. The crew were made prisoners
..„ War i. nn d transferred to one of the
»>ering ships. The dauntless Capt.
li. n , whose self possession never
■A '! ln, >*ugge»ted he should be allowed to
am wuli his son on board the Emily
cnli tre ’ ?? a* 1 ® wa " an °hl boat with lie-
iar machinery, and carried a cargo that
J* “‘‘hen es[iecially valuable. To this
“inest the officers assented. They also
to retain the negro steward, who
‘Pressed «n earnest wish to stay. The
w crew was composed of eight extieri-
wli aa dor« besides the two naval officers
0 wtr ® to take the blockade-runner to
New York in the'wake of one of the men-
of-war.
A friendship soon sprung up between the
officers and the suave Captain. They found
the Frenchman was master of navigation;
a charming conversationalist, and was of
invaluable assistance to them in managing
tlie queer craft on which they sailed.
Every evening Captain Wilson amused
them witli wild adventures he had exper
ienced in his journeys of the past few
years, and made himself so useful and
agreeable that the young officers got into the
habit of treating him more as a brother
officer than as a prisoner. They even sent
him below to order the sailors to do certain
work on the ship on several occasions.
The Captain’s pretty boy became quite a
pet witli all the crew, and both father and
son seemed to return with great heartiness
the evident favor with which they were re-
§ arded. Capt. Wilson spent a part of every
ay on the deck with his son, for whose
amusement he whittled al) torts of odd
playthings from pieces of wood. The offi
cers would sometimes pause aud laugh at
the comical jumping jacks and other toys
their ingenious and versatile prisoner hud
carved with his pocketknife for the bright
child, to whom he was devotedly attached.
Capt. Wilson whittled these playthings
every day with remarkable persistency,
and the child seemed to develop an unusual
fondness for them. In the presence of the
officers he would tease his father to come
with him on deck and make him new toys.
One day, as he was thus engaged, he
asked the boy: “Leo, if the occasion re
quired it, could you face great danger
without shrinking, that you and I might
succeed in a difficult undertaking?”
The child’s laughing face grew serious
in an instant as he answered: “Try me.
I can shoot a pistol with as steady a hand
as you can, and I iiave known,” lie added
in a whisper, though no one was near them,
“what yon have been working on while
you pretended to be making my toys. 1
am no baby, as yon know, papa, to care
for such playthingSj but I saw you wanted
to make those odd little things you have
in your pocket.” The man looked at the
child in astonishment for one moment,and
then drawing him to his arms he kissed him
again nnd again. The officer who came
near at that moment turned away and
sighed as lie thought of the probable fate
of the father, when lie should be delivered
to the authorities and held to account for
the contraband business he had pursued
witli such notorious daring that he could
not hope for much mercy. He consider
ately left them together longer than usual
and went into his cabin to calculate how
much longer his prisoner would enjoy the
companionship of his only child.
Tlie man-of-war had long since disap
peared and would reach New York sev
eral days ahead of tho Emily St. Pierre.
Left alone with the boy, Captain AVilson
said: “Follow me closely this afternoon,
and when yon hear my silver whistle,
come directly, but without showing any
signs of haste, into the captain’s cabin. I
am going to put you to a test from which
a man might shrink, but you must prove
yourself worthy of the trust I repose in
you.”
“I will,” said the child, and that in
stant, hearing approaching footsteps, he
brought hack tho careless smile to his fBce
that had grown suddenly pale at his fa
ther’s ominous words, and when the sec
ond officer in command came up he was
apparently absorbed in a pile of wooden
playthings lie hnd scornfully dashed away
a moment before. A little later Captain
AVilson arose nnd walked away, followed
at a short distance by the boy, who car
ried with noisy solicitude his wooden sol
diers and other toys.
Cnptain Wilson went into the command
ing officer’s cabin and found him still bend
ing over the chart. With a pleasant
remark, and a request that his entrance
should not disturb him, Captain Wilson
walked up behind the officer and with a
powerful and quick effort slipped a wooden
gag in his mouth. In a few moments the
dumb officer was securely tied to his chair
with a cord the wily blockader had carried
on his person for several days for the pur
pose.
At n note from the silver whistle the
hoy glided through the door. His father
handed him one of tlie officer’s pistols
and said: “Guard this door till I return,
and if tlie other officer comes in kill him
instantly.” He took the weapon and
calmly stationed himself near the door.
The intrepid Wilson hurried ofi to find the
steward. Ho put a revolver at his head,
stated his plans to the frightened negro
and forced him to swear implicit obedience
to him. The negro readily entered into
Captain Wilson’s plans for recapturing the
ship, and took the ottered revolver to pre
vent tho access of the marines to the second
officer’s cabin. In a few minntes more, by
a clever and reckless ruse, Wilson had this
officer also gagged and bound flat on his
back in his own berth.
This much accomplished, Wilson went
below with his jauntiest air and told the
marines that tho commanding officer liad
ordered him to go with them into a cer
tain part of the ship to make some needed
repairs nt once. Not doubting the state
ment, one by one the eight men went
down the narrow stairway. As soon as the
last one had disappeared Wilson quickly
closed and secured the hatchway. He
called to them to wait until he should re
turn. He went to the Captain’s cabin ; re
lieved his fearless child of intense anxiety,
told the officer he thanked him for the
kindnsss witli which he had been treated,
and regretted that he would be forced to
keep both him and his comrade securely
hound until the St. Pierre should reach
Trenholm and Fraser’s wharf in Liverpool.
He told how the eight marines had been
made prisoners, assured the commanding
officer that lie should be made as comfor
table as possible, and took the gag out of
his mouth. Then with bis son and the
steward, both henvily armed, lie opened
the hatchway, and called to the wonder
ing group and told them what he had
done; , , ,
Only one man could ascend the narrow
stairway at a time, so they were entirely
at his mercy. He spoke plausibly to them,
promised them immediate liberty and $2. r >
npiece when he should land at Liverpool;
and a plenty of rations duriog the ?o:a$c,
which he assured them would be as brief
as the utmott speed of the Emily ot.
piene could make it. Under the shadow
of the fcftarn and Stripes and at the cost of
almost superhuman, mental and physical
exertion for three days, on the part ot
Wilson and the steward the Emily ht.
Pierre sped on towards Liverpool. At
the end of the third day fi iison became
so exhausted that he was compelled to
bribe one of the marine* to help him
manage the ship. He succeeded and the
man walked up the stairway while his
comrades held back before the three cocked
revolvers above them. This bribed recruit
was constantly watched by Wilson or the
steward or the courageous boy, who never
showed the least sign of fright throughout
the terrible journey. , , ,
The ship anchored off Liverpool harbor
at night. A member of Trenholm A Fra-
sei-’s iiriu came aboard and carried a de-:
tailed account of the unprecedented ex
ploit back to the city, and the Liverpool
Mercury devoted its first page to a detailed j
statement of it. The next morning the t
city was wild witli excitement. The '•
Emily St. Pierre touched Trenholm A
Fraser’s wharf flying both the Confederate [
flag and the Union Jack. She was wel
comed by a mob of people singing “Knle !
Britannia” anil tlie “Southern Marseil
laise.” Wilson war the hero of tho hour,;
and fer six mouths remained iu England j
the guest of number* of her proudest
nobility, at whose dinner tables he re
counted again and again tlie story of the
recapture of the Emily St. Pierre.
He kept the pledges to the Federal of-1
fleers and mariners, and attended to all I
their necessities bofo/e his cargo was nn- I
loaded. The cotton was sold at a fabulous |
price. Twenty-five thousand dollars' was
deposited in tlie Bank of England to the
credit of tlie brave hoy by his father, and
friends in England forced him to accept an
Oxford scholarship. The cotton mer
chants of Liverpool ordered a snug, swift
boat to he built for Captain Wilson, whicn
they presented to him, and in which he
made one other successful trip.
Calhoun returned to Charleston in this
boat, and expressed himself so forcibly on
tiie perils of blockade-running that he was
excused from all future service of the
kind. When tiie stars and stripes again
floated from the citadel in Charleston,
Calhoun said tlie reason he was glad to see
it was because “lie and Capt. Wilson had
whipped the men on the broad ocean jes’
on account of de ole flag floatin’ above de ■
ship.” He brags yet about the incidents !
of that memorable voyage, and prides him- j
self especially on the enthusiastic recep
tion accorded him the“los’ time he crossed
de water.” Whenever the price of cotton
is discussed he becomes oracular, and says
it will never reach the figures at which lie
sold the last cargo he carried to Liver
pool.
Some years after tlie surrender nt Appo
mattox Capt. Wilson became a raving ma
niac. and after a long confinement died in
an asylum in Paris. His physicians said
he never recovered from tli^ intense excite
ment and mental strain incident to his last
cruise on the Emily St. Pierre. His son
was graduated witli high honors at Oxford,
and arrived in Paris in time to catcli a
glimpse of fond recognition in his father’s
eyes before they closed forever.
With the money realized from the peril
ous blockade—running, which Capt. Wil
son had wiseiv deposited ill the Bank of
England to his son’s credit, a portion of the
parental estates were purchased, and now
near the Chateau do St. Lambert has re
cently been erected a beautiful Gothic
chapel sacred to tlie memory of Jean Fran-
cais Leolyn Alexis, Marquis de St. Lam
bert. Under the altar of this chapel rests
all that is mortal of the captain of the Em
ily St. I’ierre.__
PURSUED MY A LION.
RUrRKMK COURT REPORTER.

Court-Ills Recommendation!.
Atlanta, April —.—Tlie Supreme Court
this morning selected Mr. Henry C. Pee
ples, of Atlanta, as reporter of. tlie court,
to succeed Mr. J. II. Lumpkin, whose res
ignation took place to-day. Mr. Lumpkin
was appointed to this position December (5,
18S6, and his term of office, which will
now he served out by Mr. Peeples, expires
December 1892.
The appointment will give universal
satisfaction, as Mr. Peeples has already
had much experience as one of the clerk’s
of the court.
There were a number of applicants for
the position from all over the State, and
all received high endorsements, but those
received by the appointee were, iu the
opinion of tlie court, the strongest'. He
received flattering endorsements from the
bars of Savannah, Athens, Columbus and
Rome. Several strong letters o f endorse
ment were also received from members of
tlie bar of Macon.
A Milliter's Life Saved Through tlie Sagac
ity of % Dog.
fjom the Belgravia Magaziue.
The narrator of the following adventure
was out in the forest, and wandered much
farther than ho intended. At last his dog
was set upon by a lion, and only got off
with liis life; but a dog's senses are some
times worth more than a man’s judgment,
and in the present instance, half dead as
lie was, the dog saved his master’s life: ’
The children loved my dog, and no ar
tery was cut. 1 shredded some Spanish
moss, bound up his wounds, slung him in
my scarf, and set oaf for home; so far had
we wandered that it was nearer than tlie
corral. I am strong, but tlie sun was hot,
and a dog is heavy on one’s shoulder. No
path led through the forest, and I could
not feel sure, not being an Indian, that I
was following the true course. A hundred
times I thought of dropping the poor ani
mal, but I had not the heart when he
licked ray neck, and I remembered what
his fate would be, devoured alive by ants.
Presently lie became restless, and then he
growled. “It needs many lessons to teach
a fool,” says the proverb. I hit him witli
ray elbow, hut he would not be quiet. He
began to hark feebly, gathering up his
limbs—poor beast I I suddenly caught the
hint and turned. At a few yards’ distance
the bushes softly swayed beside my track!
I looked to my rifle nnd set forward. In
ten minutes the growling recommenced,
and the excitement of the dog grew stronger
and stronger. The brute was creeping upl
I cocked my pun nnd faced round, hut that
beast was quicker! Nothing could he seen
but the waving of tlie twigs. I fired a
chance shot to no effect, and resumed my
way after loading. For a long while all
was quiet. I gained the river bank and
was working down, relieved of all anxiety,
for the spot was familiar.
Beyond n broad belt of reeds and swampy
ground lay the clearing. That w.'-S an
ugly bit to traverse, with a lion at one’s
heels, and I congratulated myself he had
run away. One could not see a yard on
either hand when, half-way through, the
dog growled anil barked and struggled
more violently than before. When I
turned, tlie leaves were all • bending and
quivering but five yanls away. I shot and
hurried on, but the ground was difficult.
In a tew moments the dog again gave
warning, and the reeds swayed all about.
I shot; hut now the dog did not cense to
raise such feeble clamor as lie
could, and I shot as fast as I could load.
The firing saved me. Two vanqueros
resting in the shade knew the sound of my
piece, and came to meet me, hallooing.
The dog was almost choked in convul
sions by this time, and I believe that lion
had just gathered himself to spring when
their shouts alarmed him.
From that time I have understood how
a kind action does not go unrewarded.
For, if I had abandoned my dog that day,
I never should have reached home.

CHURCH AND STATE.
Movement to Establish a Church Censor
ship of l'olltical Conduct.
Atlanta, April 2.—During the last
prohibition campaign, D. H. Kent, fore
man of Block’s canay factory, and a prom
inent member of the Fifth Baptist church,
made himself quite conspicuous ns an ad
vocate of the wet ticket. He made several
speeches at public meetirgs in the city and
in the country district, which seemed to
have considerable influence. In taking
tills position lie naturally made some ene
mies in his church.
To-day he was served with notice that
charges were preferted against him for
conduct unbecoming a member of the
church, in tlie advocacy of tiie return of
the return of the liquor traffic. He will
he called upon to set up a defense, nnd
show cause why he should not be expelled
from the church.
Mr. Kent, who is it young man of con
siderable independence of character, lias
no njiologies to make, and will fight the
matter to the bitter end.

Itecelver—To bo Heard on April 7t!i.
Atlanta, April 2.— Harney Hatcher,
who, it seems, has, until recently, been
filling the editorial chair of the Christian
Index, has filed a bill against James I'.
Harrison and Dr. J. 8. Lawton, asking for
an injunction and tlie appointment of a
receiver. Hatcher, it seems, owns an in
terest in the publication, hut not enough
to secure to him a situation on the paper
provided the other owners come to tiie
conclusion that they could get along with
out liis services.
A short time ago Hatcher was put out,
and now claims that he has no voice in the
management of the paper. He claims that
tlie Index is the organ of the Baptists of
this section and is a fine piece of property.

bill, designated tlie 7th instant as the day
upon winch he would hear the application
argued.

Honor and glory shall he o’er, /
Anil fame, e'en time shall be no more.
Kingdoms shall crumble, and tbe high

But some things perish never.
Some thlngi shall live forever;
Reason shall perish nevermore.
Memory shall keep her treasured store.
And will shall live, Imperial will,
And love or hate, for good or 111,
This mystery being, I,
This conselon* self, shall never die—
Some things shall live forever.
Borne things shall be forever;
Truth shall be changeless blessedness,
Justice abide, and righteousness.
And peace—and Heaven lie their abode,

Shall sin with truth run parallel,
And hell eternally be hell?
Some things shall lie forever.
