BY JOHN STOCKHOT.TVT. Now, . then. Casemate, let's hear from you," said the major. The gunnery , lieutenant Gunnery 'Jack he was called afloat jonsed him self with a start. "I beg your par don, cbaps," he said. "I can thin- of nothing -but that- broken recoil spring of my 4.7. , It's hard lines to be bung up like this Just when you're wanted." Never, mind,. old man," said the ad jutant "-You're made a-hit if she ner- er fires- another shot. - Your men's shooting has been an eye opener."- j "My old -gunner's mate said when I complimented him on a : good shot. Well, sir, with a fixed target and us at anchor,- too, when once we get the range something's got to shift. .If we'd had a few big guns in the Zulu turnout, we should have finished that job a. bit quicker." Were you in that swim, too?" said the major. Yes. said the lieutenant:, l was a young sub then one or , oia uicsy Bra dshaw's boys- from the Shah. South Africa runs In our family. . My old dad was out here, too, in the Kaffir affair. "' I got that from him' he added, pro ducing from his tobacco pouch a rather dirty looking object like a small eye- bolt or a .clock key with a hole In It It was extremely heavy and hard and as far as could be discovered through Its outer coating" of tobacco ash and dust was of some metallic stone." ; "What Is It" said the war corre spondent, "a baccy stopper?" "That's what I use it for," said, the lieutenant "but by rights It's a'charm for saving life." I know a man myself," said the major, "who carries a potato in his pocket to keep off the rheumatism." v- "This might save you from- hang ing." said the adjutant "but it wouldn't help you much lr you were drowning. It's extraordinarily heavy for Its size." "It saved my life once," said the Heu tenant quietly. . "A yarn, a yarn!" said the major. "Order,- please, for the yarn of the mystic , charm that keeps yon ' from harm and alarm. -Pegs round first Now! then. Gunnery John, unfold your curly' tale." "I must begin with the dad," said Casemate. t'He was out in the Kaffir affair, .as I said, in 1852." He was In command of the old Forty-fourtb-" .."Begad! I thought you d got an army back on you," said the major. "Why did you leave us, Jeremiah?" "You've heard of an old chief nam ed Moshesh ?",resumed. Casemate. ' "Yes, but- he ' was farther north, wasn't he?" said the major. "You mean Moses?" "This was a descendant of. his, -1 expect. He was boss of the show among'the niggers here in the early days. He was the original early bird about these parts. Well, a descendant of this old Johnny was captured by the Forty-fourth, and, owing to some bit of dirty work he'd been mixed up -with, our men wanted to chop him Tip. "But the giiv'nor said, 'No, discipline is discipline and a chiefs a chief, al though, like ; the; poor Indian of . un tutored mind, ho clothes him before and goes bare behind.' He gave him a tent to himself and a Bible to read and used to explain it to him In the evenings after fighting hours. "Curious chap the guv'nor .was. I've heard him say that some of the chiefs questions used to keep him awake all night trying to think of-the answers. "However,they got so- thickthat when they parted, the chief. wbo was going dowtt to the Cape for trial, gave him this bit of stuff. He said it was the most precious thing he could give him. It bad belonged to-Moshesh and had been kept in the chiefs family since the time of Ham. I think. It was a safe cure for ague and would guard the wearer against any form of violent death. - - The guv'nor said that as. the result of the trial, was so uncertain the chief bad better- keep it himself. But the old man said he would rather die than anything should happen to the guv'nor and forced it on him.", "Rummy chaps, these niggers,": said the adjutait, "where they take. Yon can fetch 'em with music too. A fid dler can lead 'em anywhere, they say." "Yes, they'll follow -him with bricks," said the lieutenant "I was In a ship once on the west coast that car ried a band, and the seedee boys asked that all the instruments might be stop ned except. the drum. A taste for mu sic is natural to them; like curly hair. "However, to get back, to the charm. The poor old mater, who firmly be lieves in the thing, made me promise to carry it. So I've kept it - In . the pouch and used it as a pipe stopper ever since. , "You remember how. the Shah got into the . Zulu scramble, of course. We'd done four years on the Pacific and were ; homeward- bound, iwlth Pleasure at the helm, - when we were brought up. at St Helena by the news of Isandhlwana. Old Dicky Bradshaw brought us back here on his own,' and three weeks later, we were landed and working our way up to Eshowe. . "There's been some talk lately about first class fighting men.' We've tackled several sorts of them 4n our time, but for sheer pluck the Zuln was second "to none. In my opinion. -Some of them w.ould actually throw themselves ; on ourbayonets so that others could get through, - If: that. Isn't the real thing;" I 'should like -to know what Is. Bui thev don't smell nice in a scufle. "We used to try a few navy dodges on them when we were in laager. We pretended to abandon a gun once and when they' gathered round, looking down the muzzle, let her go with a long lanyard. The tricks didn't al ways come off. though. - Our Gunnery BILL Jack planned a grand coup once he's a captain now. lucky beggar." "How. was it you pever got shoved tip over It old man?" said the major. "Do you get shoved up In the army for doing your, bit without shouting?" said Casemate. "My guv'nor won't let me go, up. If he knows a Johnny who could give me a shove, he'll ask him as favor not to do it because It might smell unfair." But I'm satisfied. A man that likes bis mates is better off in a wardroom than perked up In a captain's cabin, alone with his nobili ty. I dont want the money. I like my job, and when Tm tired" of It IU go ashore and catch butterflies. "However, to get , back to Gunnery Jack's coup. - We used to be worried a good deal by night attacks! The beggars used to try to rush us on dark nights, and even single fellows sneak' ed their way Into the camp sometimes. 'Jack laid out some mines at one place we pitched, at to welcome them with. One middle watch the word was passed that they were coming, and we all turned out to receive them. "There was some loose scrub a little distance off which bad led Jack to ex pect attaek from that side and to lay the mines there accordingly. We could see dark forms moving about In the scrub and edging toward us, though rather slowly, and after a rather tire some . wait Jack at length shouted, 'Heave herf and touched the key. "The "whole earth seemed to rise up in front of us, and then a shower of earth and stones fell all around. A thing that rather' surprised Jack was the hind leg of a mule which came flying through the air and bowled him oyer like a rabbit He said It was the first time he had ever been kicked by a leg with no mule on it In the morning we found the re mains of no less than six of the camp mules scattered about They had got out somehow through a soft place In the laager and nibbled then way round to the scrub. - Jack didn't do any mors mining." " ... "That reminds me," said the major, "of the mining battalion at Chatham. They blew np a bridge they'd crossed a trench by and couldn't get back again." But what about Moses' charm?" said the, correspondent "Where does that come In?" - : "That was another affair," said Case mate more gravely. "I'd almost for gotten. We used to get single niggers in at night as I said, in spite of the sharpest lookout You can't see' a black man far in the dark, you know. One night I woke and saw a big fellow trying to onbood my gun from the tent pole. - He was a gigantic chap, and. standing between me and the tent door, he loomed like a house. I felt cautiously for my revolver, but he ei ther saw me or heard me, for his arm went up, and just for a moment his assagai stood across the light like a window bar, and then It came straight at me.'' . But the good old charm checked It In midair," said the major. - ' r"Not quite In midair," said the lieu tenant - "I felt a bang that I thought had staved my chest In, and then be was on me. We scuffled a bit, but I got hold of the revolver and let him have, a Mark II just as our fellows ran .in. The spear bad hit the baccy pouch In my breast pocket of -course I was lying down all rigged and it was brought up against the stopper. If s pretty hard, but he made a bit of a mark on it, yon see. The mater's got the assagai at home now with the point turned -up like a bent pin." ! , "The drawback to your , charm " is that it only acts when if s In the line of fire," said the major. "Still it was a let off. old man, and I congratulate you and ourselves, too, that you're hereto spin the yarn." VAnd so say all of us!" sang the oth ers. Navy and Army Illustrated. . A Child's Essar on Seals. After giving the natural history of the animals, a little girl ' drew- hei moraL MIt4s very crueL" said she, to kill seals just because we want to wear their skins ourselves, but It Is rather fortunate for them, as It shows that they were created for some good pur pose." Taught to . trace "good In every thing," the puzzled child had done her best to explain the slaughter of vast rolonles of harmless animals for the sake ' of the skins which had been given them by a loving Creator and had come to the conclusion that it was for the seals' good that, instead of. as she said In her essay, "walloping about on the Ice," they should be skinned for the benefit of man. i " . - . On cross examination It proved that she did not really believe that It did the seals .any; good and that all . her sympathy was with them, but her edu cation had already taught her to try to persuade herself that "everything Is for the best", and to understand that tf our reason cannot reconcile facts With theories It is our reason that la at fault Contemporary Review.

The Slnarular Historr of Character Who Located - Missouri Farmers) aai With Trained S stakes. m Peculiar Wells For I Jass-lea Bev. Bill Scrogglns was a character In a border county of Missouri jn 1S4-L How he acquired the ecclesiastical pre fix -and what be did under the title were stories which used to be told la the farmhouses of what Is now known as Cass county. " They said he bad been a snake charmer when" he was a young man. that he traveled" about the country as a sort of magician and that he showed farmers with his divining rod where to dig wells. The people of what was then a fron tier country, assembled once a year In their respective communities and held camp meetings. On one of these reli gious occasions Bill followed the crowd with bis bag of reptiles. The minister. an old man whose face was like that of a patriarch, told the story in a sermon of Moses lifting up the brazen serpent In the camp of Israel under the com mand of Jehovah. The Missouri farm er who used to entertain travelers with the recital said" that the congregation was not particularly moved by the ap peal, but after its delivery Bill Scrog glns got up and announced that be bad a bag of real, crawling, hissing. reptiles which , he would exhibit after dinner Just outside the camp ground, and he claimed that be would show" the people some snake ..tricks which would beat the Mosaic story they bad just beard. In spite of the protest of the minister I tbe people turned out to the live snake show, and Bill gave them an exhibition which was a great success. It Is said, or It used to be said, that there wasn't a snake trick which BUI Scrogglns' serpents didn't do. When the exhibi tion was over. Bill told the people that he was a sort of missionary himself In connection with his business of locat ing wells and that he would call on each member in the evening and advise with them as to their spiritual and worldly wants. When he called, his first question was, "Have you got a well?" If the reply was In the negative, and .wells were scarce. Bill Informed the member that he must have one located,, and then he opened his bag of snakes and as they began crawling Bill lifted up his voice and called the people to re pentance. He told them the snakes would do no barm if they (the people) would give him the Job of locating wells. ' It was a tax on human belief, but the MIssourian who told the story vouched for the truth of his assertion that the people gave Bill more orders than h could - fill In one season anl that be broke up the camp meeting. He was the first heretic in the west although the , word was unknown In that country then. He became famous and was In demand. Wherever be trav-1 eled be bad bis bag of trained snakes, and he waxed fat and became Inde pendent. Whenever there was any doubt about the success of any movement the word was passed that Rev. Bill Scrogglns should be summoned. People In that section believed In ghosts, as many more enlightened peo ple believe In them In this day. There was one ghost which bad done a lively business along the highway between the county seat and a river known to this day- as Bear creek. It was the custom of this ghost to chase belated horsemen over the highway until the ford at Bear creek was reached. There the chase stopped. The ghost never crossed the stream. r - v'-' When the fame of Rev. Bill Scrog glns had spread abroad, - It was sug gested that he travel over the Bear creek road and try bis band on the spirit. - Bill accepted the calL lie made a number of journeys before the ghost materialized, and there were people who began- doubting the exist ence of the ghost, while others cited Rev. Bill as one who could overcome anything., and by that token he bad made the ghost take to the woods. The community was equally divided. However, the ghest showed up one night in the midst of a storm and chat lenged Rev. Bill to ride for his life. The . snake ecclesiastic refused, and there was a contest In wblcb Bill's horse was killed, and be was left afoot The ghost got the bag of snakes and escaped to the ford, where Bill over took him on the following day, and the contest was renewed. The ghost un dertook to turn the snakes on Bill, but they refused to act Bill got possession of them and turned them on the splrIL They drove the spirit Into Bear creek and across It, and the spirit fled, and that was the end of the ghost In that country. .. i . BUI returned In triumph to the coun ty seat and told the story. It was re ceived with some doubt, but as years slipped by and nobody was chased people began to believe Bill, and apol ogies came In rather late. But BUI was vindicated. Then.he mysteriously dis appeared. - Some yearsjater a den of snakes was discovered lo what is now Bates coun ty. Mo, the adjoining county on the south to Cass, and in this den was dis covered the skeleton of a man. In the opinion of many the skeleton was none other than that of Rev. Bill Rcroggins. So well was bis memory revered that the bones were collected from the snake. den. and when the first court house was built In Cass county. It Is said, they were placed In a box tinder the cornerstone and were found there years after when the old courthouse was demolished. Brooklyn Eagle.

Sir: I wis not present at ihe meet ing of the Populist State Executive Committee in ' Rileigh, but 1 have read an account of what took place at Ihe meeting, and your speech particu- larly, with surpprise, .chagrio and dis may. I-wetot into the Populist party from principle, believing that there was a distinct work (or that party to do in the" State and Nation."1 " I hive re- mained in the party for the same rea son though conscious that it has often made. serious blunders and. that, it has laid itself open to severe bu justifiable criticism. I was content to believe that its faults were such as with grow ing age and strength would bev, over, come, faults grounded in circuras'ance rather than in deliberate intention. With this reflection I have comforted myself to the past, have stuck lo the party organization and have .conscien tiously striven to 'hold it to the " aims and ends conceived and embodied n its declaration ol principles, believing I that whatever issue of grave import might arise the Populist party would be found favoring the right. Now, sir, the people of North Caro- lioa are confronted by the most seri- our crisis Mn their history, since the lime when the State's intelligence and worth scouraged ignorance, vice and dew achcry from its high places," a quarter of a century ago. It is pro- posed to right a wrong done the State j through force, fraud and fanaticism, at a lime-when her worthy citizenship was impotent and' when, her protest was considered good cause for fresh in dignities and more high-handed - out rages by the aliens and renegades who held a bayonet to her throat while they despoiled her. For thirty years the State has worn the fetters riveted upon ber limbs ib her boose of weakness and has done it patiently, hoping io the end that they would drop away of their own weight or would be struck off when the animosities engendered of war and blood had raced . away, and when a new generation in the unioo should see conditions lo a perspective not distorted by passion and hate. The hope has been vain, and the State has now taken up for herself the wotk of removing the incubus that has de layed her progress and menaced her peace ami safety. In this undertaking she has a right to expect that eery son who has nursed at her breast will stand shoulder to shoulder in her defense, ' Under such conditions what do I find is the attitude of the Populist or- Ramzation I do. not sav part), of I which yoa, Mr. Butler, are the ackoow. ledged-leadeif--1 ,bnd tnat at- your instance that organization has adopted a resolution placing it io irreconcilable antagonism to those. who would right this wrong of thirty fears staoding. in your speecn to the committee yoa tell them that you will "whip this gang from the State." What ygtog," Mr. Butler, is it that you "propose to "whip from the State"? It is the men whose forebears have made the State great in peace and terrible in war from the day that it was carved from the wilderness and claimed from savagery. Did, it occur to you wheayou were buttering this jiunty threat that those 'men have never been ' whipped" in all their his tor)? They are mortal , and roiybe killed; they - can not be cowed. Their number j limited and.. they may be overpowered; they can not be whip ped. : ' J - And who, sir, . compose, four cohorts that are to go gaily forth to whip the men and the sons of- the- men who marched cp to the redoubts at Gettys burg? Not the rank and file' of the Populist party1 Tbe,y, re white men and will staotTwiih their"' brethren for a what man's rights and and , a while roan's Stale. ; They are honorable men and . will stand for the State's good name. They are Intelligent men r n1 will stand with the men who make up 99 per cent of the State's intelligence. Thy'are free men and therefore, ir, are not tob- made the , chattels of a petty cabal that bargain to e!l ,tle State infamy to eel cfikej for theco- selves; to enrich themselves with Ibe price of her prostitution. They are chivalrous men and, therefore, will fight with those who have always pro tected the virtue ol our women. Your army is made up of no.ooo negroes officered by the few white men who have li-ed by trading oo their votes and who are caturaliy enraged thai any one should be . about to end that traffic. Negroes and renegade whites, Mr. Bailer, may do what British veterans failed to do and what th: battalions of Grant never did but 1 ooub. ii. You are at liberty, air, to tell your self if you can find a purchaser. There are some who believe your Kirch . la that particular has been rewarded.; il is no wild inference from year conduct. You can cot sell the men who compose the Populist party. You may attempt to betray them; they have corse to ex pect that at your hinds. You can cot lead them withio the line of your negro and renegade army. What price, Mr. Butler, has been offered you? The Senatorship again, doubtless, when yoa have "whipped" decent white, meo out of the State." Yoa will not get it nntil yoa accomplish that undertak ing, and none would then be more eminently fitted for the position. Ne groes and renegade whites would per haps find yoa to their liking. lathe eyes of all others yoa are contemptible. Who shall blame yoa, therefore, for casting in your lot with those who, alooe, do not shrink from your leadef. ship?. . A. C Cattx. THE TWO 1NYITAT10XS.
