TAKEN BY" TARTARS.
In 1S7' I was a subdieutenant. in the
Iloval British ' Navv, serving on Her
Majesty V gunboat Tickler, commanded
by First Lieutenant (now Captain) Charles
Napier. We were cruising in Chinese
waters, keeping our eyes open for a lot
of Tartar pirates 'who are the pests of
these seas, and are dreaded by all hone-t
trading vessels. We were Kin; at the
mouth of the Uo-Tou, a small river or
creek emptying into the Pacific, and
Commander Napier had sent me, with a
boatswain named Joe Maxted and a
launch's crew of twelve men, up the
creek to hunt foi and, if possible, to
destroy tiiestrondtoId of a certain Tartar
pirate who had recently, made himae'.f
particularly obnoxious.
Wo ot into the creek ami rowed up
about live miles without finding anything
or an v bod v, and without being molested
in any way whatever. Then I thought
we had gone far enough, but, being
young and panting for glory, I determ
ined to reconnoitre a little further in
land. So, taking with iG Joe .Max ted
and two men, and "iving orders to the
men left in charge of the boat that if we
did not return in forty-eight hours they
were to come in search of us, we started
upon what was undoubtedly a very fool
hardy trip.
The whole river bank on either side
was a deue 'jungle for about half a
mile, Break:ng into a belt of pine forest
and then into the open. Here and there
were narrow catlings down to the rivet
side the river was only about eighty
feet wide, about the width of a 'fairly
wide street and occasionally one came
upon a tiny village with a clearing ami
Small rice farms.'v The inhabitants ot
these villages, we suspected, all took a
-hand in the piratical " excursions which
the Tickler wa- endeavoring to suppress,
but on the present occasion it was the
head man of a small tribe, which even
attacked the village pirates themselves,
that we were after.
It was early morning about 5 o'clock
when we started out upon our ex
cursion. We thought to take advantage
of the cool morning air and, if necessary,
rest in the shade during the intense heat
of the day. Of course we were well
armed We etch carried a Colt's navy
revolver, the men had each a rifle aud
cutlass ami I my sword. Being full
awai'e of the possibility of losing our
way and not getting back to the boat, we
blazed the trees along our route and cut
a path through the undergrowth. We
also kept a lookout' for ambushe. foi
there was little doubt that our pirate
know perfectly well that we were after
him. We were net quite so well" -acquainted
with the country as he, how
ever. We made the discovery too late
and to our bitter cost.
After about two hours' cutting and
hacking at the deu-e undergrowth and
having reached tae belt of . pine trees I
ordered a halt, and we at dowa to
breakfast. For two of our party it was
their last meal. I do not know how it
happened, for-I had risen to my feet aud
was again moving onward expectiug the
men to follow instantly, when I heard
Joe Maxted's voice shouting to me:
"Mr. Martin! Lie. down on your face!
Fiat down for God's sake!"
It saved my life. I jusT turned an in
stant, in time to ?ee my two poor able
bodied seamen on their backs with a
dozen arrows in the body of each, and
Joe on - his face on the gr-xind. lie
whole wood feemed to be alive with the
rao9t horridly-rigged Tartar villains 1
set eyes on. Some had masks on theii
faces and all carried javelins and great
swords. Well, I threw up my hands, i
couldn't do less.
In an instant we were surrounded,
and, leaving the two Uetd bodies where
they lay, we were dragged along until
we came to a large clearing about a quar
ter of a mile awaty, the existence of
which we had never suspected. Here
was a sort ot a village of bamboo huts,
little more than an encampment of about
eighty or a hundred men. We were in
the hands of the pirates we had come to
exterminate. There was nothiug for it.
They would exterminate us We had
not a chance. Our men wouldn't come
after us for two days. There was nc
hope of a release. We uiisht just , a
well make up our minds to it.
l"p to this tune vve had been so far
api;i;, sep.ir.tted by our guards, t'uat we
rouM -.iot sneak to each other or suggest
any plans. When we reached the clear
ing, however, we were brought togeth
er, and marched before the most villain
ous looking rascal I ever set eyes on
evidently the chief of the baud. Joe
was filling the air with the most lovely
aud choice selections from his truly mag
nificent vocabulary of Billingsgate, aird
calling upon each and every separate
Tartar to let him have the use of his
hands and the cutlass and meet him on
fair gound. What would they do with
us? We were very soon to know.
With a hospitality we could riot un
derstand, the chief signed us to sit
down, aud presently a great dish of de
licious rice was placed .before us and we
were, by signs, invited to eat. Out
morning trip had made us botu hungry,
notwithstanding that we. had already
had some breakfast, and not! even the sad
memory of the death of our comrades
could prevent our "ptchiug in." Then
came bowls of most refreshing, sparkling
spring water. What, would come next '
We noticed, as we finished our repast,
a fiendish grin spread over the features
our host. He made a sign and said
something which we, of course, did not
understand. Two fellows came no and
4
evidently said all was ready, for it an
other few Avords we were seized, made
to stand on our feet, our arms bound se
cuiely to our sides, our ankles tied to
gether and we were tl ragged off. -
Presently we came to a spot where not
a tree of auy kiud formed the slightest
protection from the sun's '"rays, and where
at a distance of about six feet apart we
saw two large, deep holes.
"Now, what are they going to dof"
asked Joe.
.1 had no time to auswer, for in a min
ute we were dumped, feet foremost, one
into each hole. Then the beggars began
shoveling the sand soil in on top of us.
'They're going to bury m alive l"
aaid Joe.
It was worse thau that. Thit would
have killed us too soon. They only
buried us to the necks, leaving our heads
free, but so securely fixed in the soil
that we looked like a couple of living
heads on a magician's table. Great God !
hat horribly couceived torture was
this! While we were buried helpless
there a brute came and with a sharp kuift
carefully shaved a round patch from t tic
tops of our heads, then another smeared
ome sticky substance thereou. Were
they yoiug to set fire to c.sf Worse ever
than that!
1) not suppose that all this was dont
in silence. By no means. A horrible.
yelling, jeering, hooting . crowd sur-
rounded us, and how they came and spat
in our faces and slapped us with fi tt
pieces of bamboo. This went oa for a
couple of hours, and the sun was beating
down upon us with almost unbearable
power. Then the flies came in myriads -
and bit and stuDg us. Then carme a cry
from Maxted, which I quickly echoed:
"I'm bursting! If this don't stop
soon I'll burst!"
The rice and water we Lad swallowed
was swelling, and the weight of the sol
creating an enormous lesistaaee out
agony wa intense. '
"Great God ! Why didn't we tell the
men to eouie sooner f
Then poured forth the cheeriest word?
of encouragement to rue a man could
think of.
"They'll ne.ver obey you. sir; they'P
get anxious and come."
Hi words were prophetic. They were
hardly out of his mouth when wV heard
the heartiest British cheer I ever heard
ring through the clearing - then a volley
and another from t; d British rifles,
and then the short snapping of the rc
vol vers and then I fainted,
I A week later, lying in my cabin ou
the Ti ii!er, I heard how one of the men,
angry at not bein 4 choen to make the
inland excurision "with me, had followed
us a short distant e through the forest
lie had seen the attack and at diet
scauipeud ba. I; to the boat. Heali.iuy
that ten men would be of little ust

down the river right back to the Tickler
and reported my capture to Commander'
Napier, whohad come himself with a
brigade to my ivm n with the result

was shot or cutlassed in the attack. Not

Hew Some Builders Build.
A glance at the business directory
will reveal the fact that there are many
hundreds of persons in this city who
follow the calling of builders. Few of
them are rich, all of them are hard
workers. The development of the upper.
West side of the city and the Annexed
District has been the cause of so many
launching out into this branch of busi
ness. .A prominent builder told a Mail and
h'j-res. re porter the other day that some
so-called builders resort to all sorts of
schemes to procure money enought to put
up a structure aud pay the laborers He
said that one of these builders who can
scrape tip a few thousand dollars will
buy a lot worth $7000 or $8000, making
a small cash payment, giving a mort
gae for the balance. Provided with ISs
lot, he can go to one of th? inauy loan,
associations, and by agreeing to pay an
exhorbitant shave, beside the itteresi,,
procure what is known as a "builder's
loan."
The cellar is then dug aud the foun
dation laid. Credit can be had for
bricks enough to put up the basement o
ground story, and arrangements can be
effected with a dealer for brown-;tone.
As soon as the first story is up, the
builder at once proceeds to raise more
uionav by mortgaging it. With tho
money he receives he builds the second
story, which, as soon as completed.-he
mortgages, applying the proceeds to the
construction" of a third story, and follows
out the same line of conduit if a fourth
story is needed. When the building i
completed it is patched with three or
four more mortgages.
It is then put on the mark-it aud a
tip the mortgages, and after giving the
builder a few hundred dollars from his
oro'its. outs it in the market. The
1 - 1
builder goes ou the hunt for another lot
upon which to put another builliug, sat
isfied with a small profit. The man
with the money who buys up the mort
gages is the one who reaps the benefit.

A new mind -reader has been discov
ered at Glasgow, Ky., or rather4 discov
ered himself accidentally, not long since.
He is Flavins T&Vlor, the son of; Dr. F.
J. Taylor, a ;iagow physician!- Hi
age is nineteen year-, and some account
of his doings ha been eitt to the Coh-rier-Jmtrmil
by Or. 1. C. Sutphm, au
other of Glasgow's physicians, who is
familiar with the young man's case, and
has made, a .study' of .mind reading, as
well as what is termed "muscle read
mg," by performers who claim to be
guided by the thrills of the muscles of 5
the subject. Or. Sutphin gives some
speculations at length tut the alleged dis
tinction between mind reading ami mus
cle reading, and arrive- at the ,,n. lusioii
that, though there nm'be ti i- kery ami
imposture used by some people, there is
such a thing as mihd reading and no -uch
thiny; as muscle readim- lb- ouotes
from Stuart Cumberland, aa F.ugiish
mind leader, who claim-- I that he was
guided by the muscles, aiid who. in a
performance before the Khedive of
Egypt, wrote a Word thought of (the
name of the Khedive's sou. Abbas, on a
piice of paper in Arabic, u language of
which he knew nothing, a id this with
out a moment s he-utat ion. Cuu.beidaiul
said this was muscle re.; bug, but. Dr.
Sutphin details a similar test, wit It. young
Faylor which, he claims, shows the mind
must bear it part in such a test as well
Us the musch-s. He is willing to say that
Mime things may be lon" iv muscle read
ing but that others cannot. Dr. Sutphin,'
in his aecouui of vuny. Taylor's per
formance, s.tvs.
"We may eonec-i. all that Mr. Cum
berland says tit' muscle reading, may
agree that all his feats were performed by
it, yet when it is attempted to .include
all mind reading in this, then it will be
found that this cannot be done. Then
is much of mind reading, indeed, that
could not be explained, nor, In faJ-t, be
accomplished l)y muscle read in if. Tuis
s fully, proved by a lately developed
mind reader here in the place in which
I live a young man, Flavins Taylor,
nineteen years of age, sou of Dr. F. J.
Taylor, a prominent physician and I 'eli
sion Medical Kxarniner. It is not im
probable that in marly every instance
the gift oL mind reading has been of ac
cidental discovery ou the part of the tint
possessing it , and thus it was accident
ally made known to young Taylor.
Several months ago an itinerant mind
reader-exhibited in this place, and young
Taylor attended his performance. lie
turning home he playfully remarked to a
young man who had accompanied him
that he thought he would make a goo I
mind reader, and that if the other would
blindfold hint and hide something he
would find it for him. To hive a little
amusement In- was duly blindfolde 1 and
told to find a book which had be!i hid
den in an a-J j iice n I room. He grasped
the hand of the young man who had
hidden the book, but was utterly s.ut
prised to find" that not only the look,
but also its place of concealment were
impressed on his mind. He readily took
the voting man to th place where the
book was and handed it to hiru. After
this, there were more or less treqiknt
tests r-f bis powers in finding things thus,
while ail hidden articles were always
prompt? Io ate i by him. InN-r ningie l
with these J --ts were other-, such ar
williug him to do certain things. .Say,
for instance, that it was willed for him
to take a particular flower of a number
of tlowei, in . vase in the r en an! t
hand it to a 1 ..-rtain. y 01 lady present,
to remove the atc!i fnm't th- pocket of

however, profees to have done thing .rsn: art of it are as cool as ice. Then
quite t-qttal to this by taocle reading, voU riJJlV 03 parts of it as if oa tra
being dir. cte i in ta;m by the muscular .n,aud. it wou'd not le safe to feature
tremors of the hand kept inclosed in hi. j nl on xt for j. ,,,v rjt- ia at ft9J mo.
In this way, he say, he only followed tu(.ul anij ;itrovv j:.t , boiling mud
directs, aal Knew nothiug really of the tuIe enough. I l.i 1 a narrow escape on
miud, and on! did a the tremors di- oce 0 tUe ,rm.H one day, and shall
reeled. He did, in other words, pre- j never forge; "
ciselT what the Land he was holding
would h.ive done, directed by the indi
vidual. In this, of course, therr was no
mind reading, but a guidance only by
muscle signaling. Suppose, however, it
was required to take, nfd of the hand
aud next tell-any particular thought of
the minl not find anything or to - do
anything that the hand of the individnat
might do, but simply to take tht hand
and sa. not act out, what the thought
was--then this could otilv be gotten di
rect fro.ii the mind, and in no other wiv,
fts mere, muscle reading, in this CAy
would simply lx imjHUsible. In this
case it would be necessary to see thought
itself, to tell what it was which the
thrill of the mucles would no admit of.
Anl yet young Taylot can do this. He
has bctti mentally requested, for in
vtante, to play a certain air on on the
organ, one of a number pUyed ly him.
When t atching hold of the hand to know
what it w.a. he would go to the organ
and ph 'it, uing both hand for the
purpos . Had he been plaviug by tlirec-'
tion only of the muscles ot the hand, he
could not have let g the hand before
bf'iii.iutng to plav and plaved with' both
o
hainLs.
"Hut he has done better even thau
this. Auy figure, or any number of tig
tires, being though of, he has readily
anitoun t-d w hat it or they were, calling
them out .ingl v or in t ombinatiou as de
sired. For instance, suppose that the
figuriv' "1, .5, and s were eparately
thought of. .Then these were promptly
told out one by one, and announced kin
gly a thought of; or suppose, again,the.se
were thought of as then this num
ber, or .":'S, would be told. Some time
ago, knowing that he did not understand
Latin, I improvised a hhort Latin sentence--'est
utihi voluntas ut legi9 meant
ineutem' and asked him to tell rue what
it was. This was nude out slowly, but
quite at curateU , the words being spelled
out, letter, by b-ttur. It is proper ti say,
too, that these were alb 1 out at once
without goiut; over the alphabet and yet
ting at them in ihis way, one by one, on
the onler of 'table rapping.' Nothing
was said, really, more than to call out
the le'.ters in their proper order.
"Without mentioning other feats of
this young man, the question next occurs,
CjMiti what other ground can we explain
this ttlliug of figures and calling out
Iitiu than upon the silent impress of
mind upon mind This is the explana
tion, in fact, that young Taylor gives of
his 'mind reading,' as it is called, or that
he only interprets everything by impres
sion. He knows nothing of muscle read
ing, feels nothing o( the sort, sees noth
ing, hears nothing, is not aware even of
anv particular exaltation of the percep
tion, but simply tinds-ct-rfain thoughts or
wishe, of another itupns-ed on him. Hi
great ditficiiity, he fays, is to get a corn er"
impres-ioii from -some who either lack
concentration of mind or allow the too
