Heenen heard considerable about; coolie ships, I dreaded the cruise, but I wanted to get home. I went up theriver in a m11 sen' er, and edger %bout eight haws' sail 1 wart put on board the ship. She was of 2,000 tonanbuilt in early California days, and an extra fast sailer. "When I reached the deck I found thet there was no crew and only three other quartermastera, her futl eomplemmat being eight, and she carried when all the crew and offloire were on board about 100 men. A few coolies were on board, and my duty was to keep watch over them. The crew and the remaining tffieere °ante up from Hong Kong and the vessel was soon got ready for de, "Then the brokers began to put the cool. ies on board. Runnerewere seritout into the oteuntry and the coolies nen obtained in any way possible. Some vvere hired and some were stolen. A raid would be made on some little village and a number of young men and boys would be earried •off's. The mandarin who Was governor of Canton made it a death penalty for any one to Steal a coolie, and he tried •to suppress the traffie; but unprincipled Portuguese and roue gade Chinamen would do almost anything for money, and the penalty did not deter them • from man:stealing. "The shiplay within gunshot of the shore, .and one -morning I sew nuke a dis- turbance in town. Eight of thine man - stealers had been caught in the act and these eight; men lost their heads. The heads were duck on polea as a warning to the coolie dealers., - "In due time we got on board 60 coolies and the captain went to Canton to clear the ship. But the governor, knowing that atrocious deeds had been committed on board and in obtaining the coolies, came down with a fleet of men °ewer junks and examined the lot to see if they were willing to go. After he had examined a few he took them all on board aud carried them to Caw tons and we never WM them again. I after. wand karned that they were all put into the imperial army to fight the Tai Ping rebels. "We laid at When:Tea about two weeks longer and had collected about 5C0 more when we heard that the governor intended to make another raid. So a small steamer was chartered and about 350 put on board on a dark night and =rigid down the river to Maema. The rest was put into a ainall vessel called a laroha and thence ptit inbe thn thip Norway. The third mate and four Of bhe crew, armed to the teebh, took charge oe the larch& and went with them. We were told to go carefully and not to allow any one to board us. The next day the gov- ernor came• again and found that the birds had all flown: Seeing that we could not get our cargo there vee left for Macao, and, on arriving, fell in with the United States sloop of -war Hartford. After a ehort stay here word was given, on a very dark night, to get ready for eeis. All of the officer% were stationed on deck with pistols and cutlasses. We were told to do aa we were bid and leak no queseions. All lights were put out, ex cept a large lantern between decks, and perfect quiet remained on board. "About midnight four dark objects were seen approaching the ehip. As they came nearer a lantern wasnun up to the starboard mainyard arm and was quickly arisevered by each larcha showing a light over the bow. The veseels came alongside and thee we saw that their decke were otowded with coolies wader a strong guard. They were quickly transferred on board and put into the hold. When the eau rose next morning we wore just in sight of land with 410 coolies on board bound for Havana. "We went to work arranging our oargo. • They were all numbered by a tin medal hung from the nook by a cord; on one side was a Chined character and on the other its English interpretation. They were fed on rice and fish ; bread made of rice Fuld flour Wail also given them, but it waa so hard you cored pitch it the length of the ship without breaking it. Every precaution we e taken to observe cleanliness, but: we lost thirty on the passage from aides°. This was a great deal less than the average on coolie ships; still the vessel got a, good thing out of it. She paid so much a head for all landed, and the gross amount was $66,500.e A high picket fence was loullt moron the deck, be. hind which stood the guarde. The coolies were allowed to occupy the whole of the spar dealt. All the officers lived abaft this berricade, and every precaution wen taken to prevent any uprising of the coolies, and they were treated an well as oircuminancee would pertain All of the °Soonu were armed. " For the flret ten days Om thing went well, and the officers began to congratulate themselees that there would be no trouble, 33ut the devils were at work plotting -their scheme, We had on board, as afterward found; some twenty-five Luken° piratee who had ehipped as coolies with the ex.

It was their intentiott, In cone of success, to run the ship into some of the islands in the China sea and fitting out her boats, go on a regniar piraticel cruise'killing all that would nob jein them.

The two men on the bridge were knoched off, but managed to escape through the crowd and get up to the meintop. The coolies knew that three men were in the cabin, and that: piece they were trying to reach, I dropped the wheel, leering the vesitel to take care of herself as best she could, and, drawing my out- lasts, rushed into the orovrd with the other quartermaaters on duty, and met this wild mob on the after. honse. They had scoured hand epike, belaying pins, and anything they could get for weapons, and old Sing HI was swinging a sailemakern bench over hie head. We checked their adveame and were in a few seconds re.enforood by the reat of the officers, who had jumped from their berth e and rushed hate the fight It was out and timid. One fellow with heavy capstan bar struck at my head. I tried to parry with my cutlass, but he struck with such force and the bar was tio heavy that he broke down my guard, and the end striking inc on the he laid open the tioalp and knocked me down, but before he bad time to raise the bar again my companion juniped over me as I lay, and, swinging hie outlese over his head, struck the pirate a heavy blow, which spilt his akull, and he fell dead alongside of me ; and then lifting me up he maid: cGo for them ; you are not dead yet, but we all shall be if those devils get the upper hand of us.' I went in, &dug the best I could, but I bled so freely that I was blinded from the loss of blood. At last we neared the top of the house, and the carpent- er and boatswain with the revolvers began shooting into the 2rowd, end they all die appeared below. They could not make out what was the matter when they saw us firing pistols without atopping to load, and con. eluded to get out of the way: " It seemed a long time, bub I do not sale pose the fight lasted ten minutes. As aeon as the upper de* was (neared we liberated the crew fastened in the forecastle and gave each one *musket with a fixed bayonet, Twenty of us, headed by the boatswain, went down between decks and rescued the remainder of the crew. The mollies made one rush, but were met with fixed bayonets and when they found our ranks would not brenic they retreated aft again. We then muetered all heads and found that the casti. algae on our side were the third mate, who had a bad wound, and the two men that were knocked off the bridge and badly bruis- ed. A man WaB put at the wheel and the ship again took its course. The crew were then arranged along in e, row of about twenty on each aide of the •ves- sel with a quartermaster at their head, every mem with a musket and bayonet. The coolies wore then driven on deck one by one, and as they came out of the hold they were met by two of the quartermasters and myself, and if we could swear that we saw one of them in the night he was stripped naked, handcuffed, and carried to the guar ter -deck. Seven men stood guard over thane with striot orders to shod the first one showing any signs of being ugly. The others were told to teke their ones down, as no Chinaman will fight with it down. We did not know this at the time, but over after no coolie was allowed on deck without first unfastening his cue. We found that we had forty prisoners and that six had been killed in tile fight, among whom was the leader, old Sing Hi, who /pad changed his name to Sing Lo. The mutineers were then brought to the main deck and trioed up to the rigging and the pickets of the barricade by their shackled arms, just so they could bear u, small portion of their weight on the balls of their feet. A bundle of bamboos was obtained, and the flogging began on the bare back, four dozen blows being the allowance. The boatswain was a very powerful man and did most of the whip. ping, and he oould fiog scientifically. After the first dozen stripes were laid on he woulkt by ordeouts take out a piece of flesh with every blow, and the blood would flow in a stream down the fel lowes back, and before theliogging was fin ished the blood poured in a dream from th- veseeln scuppers. • He whipped about term ty five coolies when his strength gave out and the mate and aailmaker finished the rest. During this torture sortie would ticreeeh for mercy, while others would Q0!50 in their language and even turn and spit at the one flogging them; but in most cases aftee abOUB onehalf of the blows had been struck their heads would fall forward and no sign of life could be seen except a shudder of the body when the blowe fell. After the flogging they were taken down, their backs washed off with eel water two cages were built juet off the bar- ricade, and a 'still greater punisher et t to them WAS inflicted. Their cues were cut off and their heads shaved bare. !This completely broke their spirits, as a Chinaman would rather suffer death than lose his eue. Then, shackled together by twos and without any clothing whateter, they were put into small oases, Whine they never Id8 till the end of the voyage except to take a salt -water bath once a week, and then under a strong guard On arriving At Havana they were clothed and turned over to the brokers. Here they were put up at euction and sold for from $600 to $1,100 eech, "1 wan pettedly sansfied when the last one WAS sold. I slid nob want any more coolie lowliness.

The contagion of greatnees has given name and fame to three places in Scotland, for, without the memory of Burns, Ayr would be only a small country town with a good name for °heed, Mew:Mine a village noted for nothing but poverty and dirt, and Dam, (ries a fair sheep market. But the shadow of genius fell upon them and they ere lemma tal as the name of the poen who gave tlaem fame. The town of Ayr had something of a history of its own before the coming of Burns. During the Scottish wars for independence it was a basis of military operations against the English. Here, or, at least, in this neighborineod, Wellace began that career which made him the idol of his people. Here during the Puritan wars, Cromwell achiev- ed a vidory, and built a fort, tearing down O church to use Its material. But all these things are so completely overshadowed by the accidental circumstances that Burns here first saw this light, that nine -tenths of those who read of Ayr, know no more of its pre. vious history than if it had none, than if it had been born on the same day as Burns. To all intents and purpoees lb was, for its sole importance to everybody but its own inhabitants, arises from its conneetion with Tan GREAT row OF SCOTLAND. This fad, however, is hardly relished by the people of Ayr; it is a bustling town of 8000 population, near the centre of.a coal district; it exports coal and cattle and cheese, has good streets and hotels, and gas and water in the houses : has a town hall with is steeple over 200 feet high, and a Wallace monument almost afi tall and quite as ugly, and its busy people scarcely like the idea of their town being known only an the birthplace of a drunken gauger, who bated the persons, and set a ball example to the bairns. The town itself has few reminders of the poet save a statue, but in the outskirts Of what was the Sootch vii/age as Burns knew it 'he reminiscences came thick and fent. The Doon, or '6 Bonnie noon," as Burne at. feetionetely terms it, is unchanged, and flows between its wooden banks aa plaoidly as when, a &lid, he sported along its shores. The " tne, Brigs" are still there, the new Brig, which is now newer than it was when Burns saw it, having been taken down and rebuilt since his death, and the "Auld. Brig" which the hand of the restorer has spared and allowed to remain just as it was when Tam's mare lost her tail on the night of his eventful die. It stands in romantic Becht. sion, in the midst of a group of trees and ()ashes which shut in the pretty stream, and but for the presence of a cluster of peasant ooteeves near by, would be so retired as to encourage the suspicion that witohes still linger in the neighborhood, and that the "genius of the stream," who stopped the quarrel • between the two "brigs,' may at any moment reappear with his crowd of attendanta so graphically dericribed by the poen Farther on the reed and past "the stoma, where drunken Charlie broke 'is neck -bane," is Alloway Kirk, save for the finger of time, just as it was. • " Oa that laight: a obild might understand the dell had business on his hand," Alloway is an exceedingly small church, eoareely more than 20 by 30 feet, =detail& in a yard full of graves.

The sexton sari ib has been buried over and over twenty or thirty times, so that no grave can be dug without dis- turbing the remains of slumbering natives of Ayr. Even now the vicenity has a ghostly reputation, and though the gas lamps of the city are only a few hundred yards away, the Alloway ghosts are still ocassionally seen From the road by the church a long and window could be seen, a fact that enabled Tam to discern the flickering lights in the church, and on nits side of the re- fide wall there are two or three smell openings, through any. one of which the frightened horseman might have beheld the witohen dance. But all ehe windows are now walled up, for the leterier he been divided by e peration wall. and the building is used as a burying place by two prominent families cf the neighborhood. Their names are un- known to fable, and there seems to be some thing incongruous aboue the aseuranee with whit% bhey lay their commonplace bones in so ptetical a locality. Close by is the hottee in which Bares was bora, a stone cottage, like dome of others in Ayr and the vieinity, with two rooms, one used as a family room, thaother as a kitchen. No worde can give an idea of the poverty of the surroundingo, and lifter seeing in what ciroumstanoes the poet spent his early days one Oall not help wondering how even a genius could emerge from such squalor. Avr has now a grand monument to the poet—a me morial building, with a basement story, surreounted by a Greek temple. In the basement room are many relies of this; gifted man, inoluding the l3ible he gave es a parting present to Highland Mary before she left the neighbor. hood for her illskted journey.

From Ma,uchline it is but an hour's ride by veil to Dumfries, whom the poet ended his ahort and unlaeppy career. After leav- ing the railroad station you go down to long, nob particularly straight nor °leanly street, °idled by the name of Shakspeare, and leav- ing it; where it ie narrowest; and dirtied, dive into an allay and come oat on an open insulin by the River Nith, the sheep market. Among the houses that line the river side there is one that bears an inecription stat- ing that "in this house the poet Burins lived when he first male to Dumfries." But he did nob occupy the whole house; one mom was enough for his straitened means, and here, amid the foul odors from the market place, he and his spent some weeks. But fate had worse in store, The house by the market was too expensive; he left it and went with his family to live in a single *oom in one of the lowest, meanest alleys in the town. Now it is called Burns street ; then it was Mill Hole Brae. Less than 10 feet wide, no eidewalka, a gutter in the center, densely peopled with the poorest of the poor, it is one of the last places on the earth where a poet might be expeoted to locate. One room in the building, now occupied by an indus- trial school, Waft tenanted by the family, while a small closet, with a single window, was used by the poet as a study and • for the receipt:ion of hie few booke.

At the top of the hill, not far from the entrance of • the miserable alley, is the Globe Inn, where, with such compan- ions as he could find, Bums passed his evenings, at a late hour leaving the m.andlin mob and stumbling down the alley to his wretched lodging% In the alley he wrote his last song, "Here's a Heelbh to Ane I Lo'e Dear," and died. His body was placed in a plain coffin and carried to the ohnrohyard of St. Michael's, the big red, freestone ohuroh in the better part of the town,and there interred. The sexton of St. Michael's will thew you the mausoleum erected years after tbe death of the poet. It is a Grecian structure, with little taste displayed in its comitraction, and beneath its pavement lie the remains of Burns of his wife and others of his family, Just above the poet's grave in a marble slab, out in a high relief, representing the poet leaning on his plow, and with upturned face regarding the muse of song hovering above his head. The whole sculpture is in exclais itely bad taste, the plow being the only part of the subject that ie done with even tolerable skill. In the charoh you will he shown Burns' pew, in the corner of whieh, behind a big pillar that concealed him from the stern gaze of the minister, the poet either dozed away the intolerably long sermons of thist day or noted, with watchful eye and ready wit, the falling of hie neigh. bars.
