Give promise of a beauty unsurpassed
And lay upon the altar of our view

At noon a full blown r0S6>

“STOP THE SHIP.”
It was a dark, moonless night, in the
middle of December, and the rising
ipSSs The sloping decks silent
were and de
serted, save for the figure of the officer
ou watch, pacinc suddenly up and down
before the wheelhouse, and a little group
of saloon passengers clustered under the
lee of the starboard lifeboat on the quar
ter-deck. There was some half-dozen of
us in all. Two fair Canadians on their
way to spend the holiday’s in the “old
country;”; a couple of young “subs.,”
coming home ou leave from tbeir regi
ment in Halifax; and one other careless
pleasure seeker, like myself, returning
from a visit to the Far w est. We had
been whiling away the evening by
singiug glees and telling stories, until
the quartermaster striking five bells—
10:30 o'clock—warned us that lights
would soon have to be put out.
Not feeling inclined to turn in, I bade
my watched merry laughingly companions good-night,
them clown the com
panion-way, chat and then turned aft to have
a with the second officer who was
keeping the deck-watch.
“You seem to have had a pleasant time
under the boat there,” upon’ he look’ said, after a
few remarks the of the
weather and the speed we were run
ningat.
“Yes, and we ended up with a ghost
storv, which Mr. Lurtontold about his
old grandmother seeing beckon!4 the figuro of her
husband standing her ear

ran under a brick fruit-wall in the hall
grounds. She followed him,and scarce

fell with a crash just where she had been
walking but half a moment before. His

“And do you believe in such things?”
“Not a bit,” I answered, promptly.
“Such things, as you call them,never ap
pear to cool-nerved people in every-day
life, hut only to timid, scared, and ner
vous persons”
“I don’t know that. I am not partic
ularly nervous, I fancy; and yet a queer
thins happened to me aboard this ship
not very long ago,” and he turned to
glance at the swinging compass at the
mizzen crosstrees. “If you care to hear
about it, I’ll spin you the yarn—unless
you want to turn in.”
So lie began his story, whilst the
creaking of the spectre-looking spars
aloft sounded like the moan of troubled
spirits, and the swishing of the water
under the counter kept up a mournful
rhythm as he spoke as follows: in
“We left the Mersey the first week
May, bound for New York, with a full
ship—saloon and steerage both crowded
—and made a quick run, for she is a
fast boat, and the captain never gives
her a chance of getting far off a straight
course.
“We -were five days out, and that
evening some of the gentlemen had got
up a concert, which was a great spirits success,
and every bodv seemed quickest in high at
the prospect of the passage on
record. Of course this was before the
Arizona, Alaska, and Etruria had aston
ished the world by the wondrous smart
runs which they have made. I relieved
Mr. Jones at four bells and took the
bridge, remarking to him, as be turned
to go down the ladder, that it felt un
commonly cold for the time of year,
‘It's leaving a warm cabin makes you
feel it,’he said, wishing me a pleasant
watch, and the next moment I was up
there alone.
“It was a pitch-dark night, and a
thick veil of blackness seemed to wrap
the ship from stern to stern. There was
no wind and the sea was quiet, the still¬
ness only broken by tbe dull, regular
throbbing of the great engines as they
steadily drove her along. I glanced
ahead and could barely distinguish turned the aft
watch forward and then I
and saw the dim form of the officer in
charge of the deck leaning against the
port door of the wheel-house.
“All was right, and I began to pace
slowly across the bridge from side to
side, watching the white gleam of the
phosphorescent water as it raced past
and trailed away into the dark expanse
behind us. I remember thinking what
a nutshell this powerful ship was there
in the midst of the boundless ocean, and
E°w but a thin plateof iron, was between
gauds of fathoms down among all th
hideous creatures that live in tbe sunless
depths. I was roused out of my musing
by the voice of the captain, who had
come up did to see if all times was right, during as he
generally night, several always the
for he was alive to the
tact that he had a valuable ship and pre¬
cious lives under his care, and nothing
ever made him forget it. I have heard
him say to some gentlemen who pressed
him to join them in a bottle of cham¬
pagne to celebrate the speedy arrival of
his vessel off the Irish coast:
“ ‘I am much obliged to you for the
kindness which prompts the request, but
we are nearing land, and this night, of
all others, I must keep a cool head and
a clear eye for your sake and my own.’
“Well, as I was said saying, the captain
came alongside and :
“How’s her head, Mr. Brown?”
<( < W. N. W., a quarter W.. sir,’ I an¬
swered, with a glimpse at the binnacle.
“ ‘Bight it is—keep it so;’he bade me
good night, and I watched him go along
the deck forward to speak to the watch
on the fok’sel.
“Then I began my walk again, and
my wondered thoughts how slipped wife away and home, and I

were. I lived over again in fancy the
days I had spent ashore during my last
leave, and then, somehow, memories of
my boyish days crept in. sensation

thought of the confusion and alarm
which I was about to cause, and how an¬

daring to do such a thing without his
orders. The next instant I rang: ‘Easy
ahead.’ I felt the engine’s throb more
slowly. Yet again I heard, almost mad¬
ly— ‘Stop the ship’.’
“
And without a moment’s further hesi¬
tation I rang “Stop,” and soon the throb¬
bing ceased entirely. I heard exclama¬
tions of surprise from the fok'sel. There
was a rare commotion on the deck as the
captain rushed up the ladder in anxious
haste, but before he could reach my side,
the resistless power had overcome me
again, and I rang down “Full speesl
astern.”
“ ‘In heaven's name, what’s the mat*

tain say as the mighty screw began to
race astern, and forcibly pull up, as it
were, the great ship, which still forged

added—

upon our doom. My yarn is a true one.”

The Freedman’s Savings Bank.
The Inter-Ocean gives the following
history of the Freedman’s Savings Bank:
The Freedman’s Hank enterprise was proposed as
a purelv charitable to encour
a g e f rU! r a lity and thrift among the newly
liberated blacks. Mr. Summer reported

1305, and on the 3d of March, following,
it became a law. The bank was estab

many small depositors, through ignor

77,000 dividends,amounting to $112,000,
were thus forfeited. The cost of “wind

some years three bank commissioners
were employed at a salary of $3,000

of the bank were all turned over to the
Comptroller of the currency, at a great
saving of expenses.
Valuable Gold Nuggets.
Louis Blanding says the generally ac
cepted statement that the largest nugget
ever found in California was worth a
little more than $21,000 is an erroneous
one. He says that J. J. Finney, “Old
Virginia, ” found a piece of gold about
six miles from Downievillo, Sierra
County, on August 21, 1867, that
weighed 5,000 ounces. The gold ol
that vicinity was worth $18 an ounce,
which would'make the value of the nug¬
get $90,000. This ; would make the
Finney nugget the largest piece of pure
gold ever discovered, so far as accounts
go. Heretofore, the Australian nugget
found in the Ballarat gold fields has been
considered the largest. It was valued at
$30,000. Finney, or “Old Virginia,” days,

The Orloff Diamond.
This magnificent gem, which in its
rough state formed the eye of an idol in
a temple near Trinchinopoli, was stolen
by a Frenchman, who ■ escaped with his
prize to Persia, and who, fearful of being
discovered, was glad to dispose of his
ill-gotten gear for a sum of about £2,000.
The man who bovight the stone a Jew
ish merchant, sold it to one Shrafras, an
Armenian, for £12,000, 8hafras had
conceived the idea that by carrying the
stone to Russia he would obtain trom the
Empress, Catharine the Great, a
sum for it. How to travel in safety
with the stone, the theft of which had
of course been discovered and pro
claimed, became a grave consideration.
It was too large to swallow, and no mode
of concealment presented from itself dDcovprV to Shaf
ras that that seemea sppmed secure secure om ai.covery.
The way m which he solved the problem
was remarkable. He made a deep in
cision in the fleshy part of his left leg,
in which he carefully inserted the by stone, closing it
the wound sewing up
with silver thread. When the wound
healed, the Armenian qmrehant set out
on his travels quite aptojeffended, bolijly, and although
more than once evelrtortured rigorously
searched, and a little, he
was obdurate, and firmly denied having
the stone in his possession. Having at
length reached his destination he asked
from the Empress the sum of £40,000 for
the gem, an amount of money which
Catharine was unable to raise at the
moment. We next find the Armenian
Amsterdam with the intention . of
at
having his diamond cut Here tbe stone
was seen by Count Orion, presentation who deter- to
mined to purchase it for
his royal mistress, the Empress Cathar

gem was about £60,000 sterling in cash,
together with an annuity of £.j 00 and a
patent of nobility. Sbafras flourished j
exceedingly and died a millionaire, j

Dr. Jelin Taylor Finds his Wife ami Daugh¬

[From the Cleveland Leader.]
John Taylor was born in this city
about forty-five years ago. He watt born
the son of a Presbyterian minister. The
family resided in Cleveland until a fe-W
years before the rebellion, when they
moved to the South. The Rev. Mr.
Taylor secured a pastorate and his
children became imbued with the South,
ern spirit. Before leaving Cleveland
John Taylor married a handsome young
lady, but the alliance was made without
the consent of his family. His wife
went South with him, however, and at

several months, and when Taylor had re -

Taylor had been but a short tune with)
his family when the rebel Government
again needed his services, and he was
dispatched to England for a second time.
A great sorrow was in store for him, and
when he returned to his Southern home
he inquired for his wife and child. lie
was told by his friends that both were
dead. The war was soon ended, and a
few months later Taylor’s father died in
Cincinnati. His estate was divided
among seven children, and John re¬
ceived $3,000 as his share. With this
money he went to England and studied
