TUB BOAT THAT NEYE2 WEX1 TO Mi A, Captain Robert W. Andrews recently reached Hartford, Connecticut with his dog Fids. The Captain had just strolled down from Boston. He has walked 10.000 miles in the last four years. He is A7 years of ; age. He lives in Sumter, South Carolina, and left there in April to walk to Boston. He claims 'to have seen all the Presidents, with the excep tion of Garfield. Statistics show that blindness is in creasing very rapidly in the United Htatcs. Between the years 1870 and 1880 'the population increased thirty per cent, and blindnessl 1 10. It costs $25,000,000 a year to sustain an army of over 50,000 blind people on the lowest basis of cost and wages that would have been earned. The chief cause of the rapid spread of this infliction is said to be contagion, Assisted by immigration-, which brings many infectious diseases of the eye into the country. lilies foralj(n on the nai4, Frg.Ua on Hie lonely l.vh, A. tiling of wither nor land, JVyotul the ravi h' in. cvtmt fvh.

When the off urntdi went twdrvar Virt man Mmtrdivl tv each other that it looked as if we had! signed articles with a bad man, but there was no criticism. When supper wa served we found the beef outrageous.' The smell of it was sufficient to tarn a sailor's stomach, and you can imagine that it must have been pretty high. The tea could never have seen the inside of a chest. I doubt if it was anything more than the leaves of trees ana shrubs. Tho ship biscuit, had better . been called ahip grub.

Agaia we went sup rperle, but now the men began to a-' aert that no law of the high seaa per-i raitted a captain to starve hi crew. We will wait until morning, and, if th food was not changed, that something must be done. I am sure the Captain expected something to occur that night, fur he was frequently on deck, and tho three o doers were more than oace in consultation. The ook Iiad reported, as we afterward learned, that none of th supper had been eaten, and the Captain had replied: "Well, the dnrned aojers will either cat such grub aiI act out, or live cm their own fsk I am telling you I -athfally that not a word of mutiny wsi whimpered durinri the mghL We m" . to threat, am The Boston Herald suggests co-opera tion in the employment of physicians The idea is not new but is certainly sen sible, writes the New England Home ttcad. Suppose a number of families pays a fixed sum per, annum for the ser vices of a doctor. in whom they havt confidence. This action on their part assures him a steady income and makes him interested in keeping them well and hearty. He may call on them often in a friendly way, and offer suggestions and counsel without laying himself open to the imputation of wanting to "run up a bill." If a family thus provided for should have a good deal of sickness, th doctor would earn his salaiy from them twice over; if, through his kindly offices, they should have none at all, they would all the more readily pay for the great boon of health. The plan is by no meant chimerical: it could easily be put in practice with benefit to both healer and healed. I had oo plan, bat fet A Story of the Sea.

Many persons will be surprised to hear that the Signal Service Station on the top of Mount Washington is to be discontinued. and had rated as "able' more than once. but in this case. I-wns rated as "ordi nary," and tho pay was to le for such. I was then aliout 23 yeats old, a thor ough Yankee by birth and feelings, and as I had neither parents nor home, I did not cam in which direction I nailed. Now, to help you comprehend what imally happened, 1 want to say that no sailing ship ever left liort with every thing entirely satisfactory to Sailor Jack Ho is n chronio -grumbler, just as tho farmer is, but he means no more bv Irs grumbling. He will kick on tho food, on the weather, on the carp-o, on his Quarters, on almost everything con- nectetl with the shin anu her voyace but it is simply a fa.sluoti,and ho "doesn't expect aiivlxHiy to take him in earnest. Ami I say further that there is no Eng lish, Scotch, German or American sail ing ship arloat to-day in which the Cap tain cares two cents for the life of t foremast hand. The mates are lorn bullies, reiuly to knock a man diiwn on tho slightest provooition, and thy will make tho provocation themselves. Jack may lie cut and bruised and ill, but it is only when ho falls helpless that ho is permitted to. leave lrre watch." Ho is supposed not to have any more feelings than an t, and it would sem as if tho aim of most officers was to make him forget his manhood. The ditch diggers in any country live better than the aver ago sailors. Jack's hours are longer than any workingman's, his pay is less, I and there isn't a day from tho time tho voyage is begun until it ends that his lifo is not in peril. And to cap the cli max, he is a man to put up with every thing. He exiects voor grub, plenty of abuse, a great deal of dirty weather, and a close shave for his life about onoo in sojoften. He wilt stand more bulldozing than a black slave, and more abuse than an ox. Mutiny at sea is a rare occurence. The American Marine docs not average one in five years. This isn't because' the provocation is lacking, for that ex ists, on almost every ship every day, but because Jack is willing to liear to tho last moment before he turns. In my time I have known sailors to cut their throats, hang themselves, or leap over board to end their wretched lives madoi wretched and unbearable by a bullying mate. A soldier would have shot down. his officer in such cases. A slave would have ran awav. We were not out of sight of the coast before it was found that both mates were. ' ) can' rot the grub." mlo of every 6hip that Jack may come aft with his complaint. He was ex pected to in this case. The captain was on deck when he should have been lelow. He looked for a kick against the provisions, and he proposed to shut the grumblers right up. After a fore castle conference it was decided to ap peal to the captain. Not a man of cither watch could touch the provisions. An oldish man, who was a thorough sailor, very intelligent, and the last to find fault, was selected as spokesman, and ho put some of tho provisions in a kid, and wo followed him to the mainmast. As I told you, it was evident the cap tain aud matai looked for a protest, for all were on deck. Tho name of our pokesman was Herbert, and he was Lnglish lwrn. The captain came for ward to meet us as wo grouped around Herbert with hats off, aud after looking us over he shouted out: Well, d n vonr eyes, whydon't you speak up ? What is wanted of me?" "If you please, sir, said Herbert, we can't 'eat the grub." "Oh, you can't! You arc probably disappointed. You expected oyster. soup, Java coffee, hot biscuit and honey, and your stomachs have gone back on you!" "Your Honor, but will you please smell of this beef V asked Herbert, ad-: yancing a ster- "Smell of the Ui f.you hound, you!"j howled the Captain. "Did tho ownersi engage me to sail the ship or to smell of tho forecastle Uff I sized you up on tho start for a lot of bknlking aojers,1, and hero's proof that I was right. You are a lot of d d mutiuous dogs, and It has always been interesting to -watch J bullies, the Captain a tyrant, and our wuiu uo pur crew were far! it uas always uecn imeresung iu waituj . th. .Wpheric cbang reported I Tho from that station, but the authorities have regarded these reports more as cu riosities than as Wing of any practical benefit. The altitude is so great that the changes there rarely I affect the lower atmosplieric strata.

During the summer season the, - statiiou will be maintained simply to accommodate visitors to rxmoun tains, hut it is to be dispensed vJ , j Ztlag the '"'winter as" a-needless expense. Speaking of the talked -of introduction of the newly invented electrometer, Lieutenant Woodruff explains the object of the iu strument to be the foretelling of the appa rent approach of thunderstorms by several hours. The electrometer has not as yet been brought to a state of perfec tion which yields practical results, but a . series of observations is 'being taken by all. the stations, under all conditions of atmospheric pressure, and by a compari - son of these, with the help of the electro meter, it will be possible to. predict with accuracy the approach of storms ci ; the . character named. This will, of course, be of great benefit to all classes of people, - and will greatly increase the usefulness of the Signal Service. ' ' - ..' above the average in point of looks and seamanship. As we were mustered to be divided int ) watches I was surprised to note the tine bearing of the men. It was just such a crew as a Captain could feel confidence in during a long and perilous voyage. If there was a shirk now's the time to give you a lesson With that the three officers began the attack, never minding who they hit, and driving the watch on deck forward with the others. Tho man at tho wheel was, I lelieve, the only man who es caped a Mow, while not a sailor raised liia hand in reply. The ship was run ning off liefore a light breeze, and for fifteen minutes tho threo men bad it their own way. Then tho Captain's watch was called, the other sent below, and as we camo on deck CapL McKay said: "There, curse you for a lot of dock loafers, I hope you have found out who sails this ship. The man who darea come aft with another complaint will get his brains knocked out." There were nine of us in the Captain's watch, which, as I told you, was really the second mates wstch, no Captain standing a watch at sea unless he so wills. Every one of us had been struck or kicked, and two of the men had been savagely lieaten on the head and were covered wi tli blood. The name of the first mate, w1k now went below with the Captain, was McLogan. . The name of the second mate was Andrews. was a younger man than the others and perhaps had more heart, for after a bit, whilo Herbert had the wheel, he stop ped near him and observed: "The old man is a little rough, but one of the best seamen out of Glasgow. You complained too soon." "But, Mr Andrews, what are we to do for grub?" asked Herbert. "There isn't a man in the foYastle as can cat such-fctnff." "Well, it's not mv lookout what the owners furnish. Unless you men want h 11 to pay you will turn to and mske the best of it." That closed the conversation. Not a man of us spoke of mutiny or even the slightest resistance to lawful authority.' When our watch was up we turned lit and went to sleep. I for one cherished the hopo that the provisions would be better in the morning. The officers had only to taste them to realize that they, were totally unfit, and I hoped tliej Captain would do this and thus do away with all cause or further com plain L, As the kid we. brought forward at breakfast time, however, we scented tho m. ft - J we-all frit lUM morning would bnmr a crixis of souki sort. During the night, in the ca ol, both watchm. the officers acre very abusive, and tho men were struck of kicked without the shadow of sn excu. When davliaht came, and wo lwgaii to scrub down, the brrexe died quite awsr. and wo lav becalmed. We were st this . point ninety or a hundred mile from me jinusu coa urn i hiw for breakfast both watches were on deck, and, as the men wmt to the eooVs gallery to rcccivo their ki-U and panni kins all three officers showed up on deck. I was at the wheel, and I saw that the Captain and first iut bail their revolvers. The Kid were taken forward without a word. The food had not been changed, and the men pushed the dithca away. If there wait any growling I ooulJn t h"ar it. Tim Captain waited shout ten minutes, and then seeing tliat the men were not go ing to eat, lie told the second mate to order them alt All came in a iiy, and all bore themselves respectfully. "Look here, Herlert, "d the Csp tain, addressing the sailor, who had acted as spokesman on the previous oc casion, "what is the matter with the grub?" It's bal, sir unfit to cat," replied the man. "That in, you lazy luhUYs have agreed among you to call it ld, and so make me put into some jrW "Sir. tberw's never a man of us but what is willing to stand for the voyage and work our licftvut tho grub, sir, begging your pardon, was spoiled long enough before it came alioard. Will you please to inspect it, sirf "Not by a damned, sight, and now well see which end of this ship sail the other." With that he rushed ujmn Herbert to strike him with his loaded weapon, while the mates seized Inlaying pins and dashed in to knock j Vin as many men as they could. . .ie sailors ran forward, and I beard me of them beg ging for mercy. Tl.f officers followed them, evidently determined to wreak I savage vengeance, and it was only when driven to tho wiuiIIam that the men turned. It was a raw of. vlf-dcfenc could not well see what "follomed. But I heard pitol idiots, .itagt? eric, s great struggle, and, a it now came on a davl calm. 1 hit th" who.-1 anil ran forward. All was over when I got to the foremast. The three officers wer dead or dving, IbrU-rt and another sailor were dead, and 1 1 the remainder pf the men at least five were sriooly wounded. The mutinr had not lasted above five minutes, l'or a long time after I reached the Imw the men stood looking around tliein without uttering a Word. Then, st 1-w.L, a Yankee sailor hamed Ben LoUl.-ll, who had n 1 Millet in, his left shoulder, std out a little from the rest and said : "Mates, we have Un driven to mutiny and murder. Aye, every man of you knows we had to turn o sae our did lives against thce offitT lying dead. It has all come about through the td grub.
