BY CHARLES B. LEWIS. We were lying at the port of F Chinn, waiting for orders when th nese government chartered the Squall to convoy a small but very cargo to the port of Chosen, in The cargo consisted of $100,000 in and most of the sum was fresh fro mint. • 'When Captain White came aboar day and announced the charter, wo h hustle to get things ready to sail o date appointed. Only the three 0 and the cook had boon retained, Th tain saw to getting the kegs of d aboard, Mr. Fenwick brought Bowl cannon from the arsonist and saw to mounting, while I skirmished arounc picked up 10 American and English ors. Under the terms of our chart were supplied with 12 armed China the four cannon and enough cutlass muskets to arm the crow. There wa secret made of the shipment of the t urs, and in those days there were pion piratical junks sailing up and dow China sea. The White Squall was a bark, bui Maine and owned in Boston, and sailed like a top and was commanded man with the heart of a .lion. The after we got the guns mounted an kegs aboard wo cleared for Korea, an ery mother's son of a Chinaman in Fu knew to a dollar how much welled abo For the first three days out the mon drilled at the guns, and wo found the stout and fearless lot of fellows. The nese soldiers were under command Lieutenant, and though he talked very as to what would happen in case wo attacked we sized his crowd up for a lo skulks. They were a half starved, cr ing lot, armed with rnuskets alinos dangerous to them as to an enemy, and left them out of the count altogether w figuring on our chances. On the morning of our fourth day of Fuchau, which was the morning o certain July 3, Wo found a suspicious to ing junk bearing down on us from west. She ran down to within a rail us, established our identity, and then 1 her course parallel with ours. As breeze wag light all day the junk held own, and just at sundown two more cr of her size camp down on us flom the of the Chin -Chin islands. Word n) have been sent on at least three days ah of us. Wo had a turn at scrutinizing e craft through the glass, and Captain Wh said: "They are pirate junks without doubt, and they aro' after the dollars the cabin. They won't attack us tonig but tomorrow morning they'll close Tell that heathen lieutenant to step of The native officer came aft, trying look very bravo. He and his amen h made up their minds as to the junks a were already wisbing themselves back Fuchau. Captain White had been in t ' China trade for 20 years and could spe the language ahnost like n native. "Look here, Ling," ho said to the lie tenant. "Those three junks are full ' pirates." "Yes, they are pirates," was the answ "There must be 100 men altogethe while we have Ioss than 30. -D'you thin we can beat them off?" "Of course not. Wo must give up t dollars-and-hope.thay will eparo•our live It would be foolish to expect to beat the off." "Oh, -that's the way you feel about 1 is it!" growled the captain as his face too on a sterner look. "See here, you squin eyed, white livered heathen, did you ev hear of a country called'tho United Stat of America?" "I hear of Peat," was the sulky reply. "And have you ever heard that we hav a day over there called the Fourth of Jul —a holiday on whin everybody whoops yells, gets drunk, fights and goes to be happy?" "I no hear." "Then you bear now. ' Tomorrow is th day. We shall be in the China sea inatea of the United States, but that makes n difference. We are going to whoop, yel and fight. If those junks attaok us, w are going to lick blazes out of them and have patriotism enough left for firework In the evening. You and your gang are already looking for a hole to crawl into, but let me tell you something more—if you skulk, if you don't stand right up•to the rack and fight like devils, then by the land of Goshen we'll turn loose on you and Wipe you out!" "How --how can 80 men fight 100P" faltered the native. "how? How? Why, go for 'em like a ton of wildcats and never let up until the last one is licked! They won't attack us before daylight, and you've got an night to brace up your backbone. Go back to your men and tell 'em what I say. We'll have our eyes on you as well as the pirates, and I toll you you've got to fight or be shot down." Tho entire crew heard the captain's words, as he meant they should, and they cheered again and again as the native olll- oer withdrew. The five Englishmen among them didn't relish the Fourth of July business to anygreat extent, but they were happy over the anticipated fight, and if the crow of white mon had been 80 wo should have felt no uneasiness. Night ..•closed down with the three junks a mile to windward, and each one of them held its position through the Iong hours. We could have gone off to leeward and made a stern chase of it. We eould have turned back and hoped they would not dare to fol- low. "No, I'll be hanged if I dol." shouted Captain White. "I'm bound for Korea under dhat'ter, and if there were six junks ifietead of three I wouldn't vary a point from :niy course.. ])urn an Amerioan W1tt'II run away from anything on the glotlolis rot rthl" Wo should have daylight at 4 o'clock, ,,and so after midnight we made as ready BO could be. To our great satisfaction the breeze began to freshen just before 8 o'oloek, and whoa the first signs of dawn name stealing over the waters there was wind enough to do with the White Squall aft we Saw fit. ]very flag we had aboard, no matter *hat nationality, eras hoisted, uchau, e Chi - White solid Korea. silver, en the d one ad to n the flicers e enp- ollars 1 four their I and sail- or we men, s and s no r'eas- ty of n the It in she by a day d the d ev- chteu ard. were 111 a Chi- ef a big tvero t of ing- t as wo hen out f a ok- the o of aid the her efts lee ust ead ach ite a in ht, in. t." to ad nd at he ak u - of er. r, k he se m t, k t er es e y d e d 0 1 e 6 and in addition to them the cook was or- dered to make other flags of the cabin sheets and tablecloths, and every blue or red shirt in the men's chests wee also con- verted into bunting. Tho old bark must have bad a queer look to the pirates, and when sho heralded the day with a selato of cannon and small arias, followed by three rousing cheers, the fellows must have wondered what sort of a menagerie they had boon following during the night. Tho cook had breakfast reaely at once, and by sunrise wo were waiting for a ,neve on the part of the. junks. Then the native officer was sent for, and Captain White asked: "Well, are you going to fight?" "11 not too many come," was the reply. "Too many, you slab sided son of a gun1 What difference does it make to us how many they are! Trot out your gang while I give them a word or two!" The soldiers (+tune shuffling forward, and one glance at them was sufficient to prove that they had no heart for light. "You miserable, contemptible trash!" shouted the captain as he caught ono of the gang and lifted him off his foot and cracked his heels together. "Now, then, aro you going to help us? Wake up here and listen to mol You'll Dither fight like devils or we'll chuck the crowd of you overboard to the sharks. Mates, take hold here and help kick some grit into their cowardly hearts." It was the funniest scene over witnessed before a battle. For ten minutes we boot- ed the gang up and down the decks, witir the crow laughing and cheering, and we ceased kicking only when they promised to do their full duty. They were scattered along between tho guns, where our omen could have nn oyo on them, and wo were all at stations when one of the junks flow a signal and the three born down on us. Our cannons were 12 pounders, with fuse shell for the first charges, and there was hardly a whisper among the men as the foremost junk came sailing down to get us within range of her four pound pieces. The captain let her close within about 600 feet, and then gave the word to fire. The two starboard guns were discharged at almost the stone second, and as the MOD knew little or nothing of gun prac- tice it was good luck or accident which sunt the shells where they landed. Both went plump into the junk's hull on her port how and close together and both ex- ploded inside of her. The craft Was liter- ally blown out of the water. It wasn't 80 seconds from the time the ,hells struck her before she was out of sight under wa- ter, and not one of her 40 er 50 men es- caped death. "Now for the next!" shouted Captain White when his voice could bo heard above the cheering, and the starboard watch ran to the braces and brought the Durk around so that our port battery could be brought to bear. As we canto round we had the junk al- most under our bows, and such of our men as were not at the guns, assisted by the Chinese soldiers, opened fire with mus- kets. Wo got a hot fire back, but only for a couple of minutes. Then the big guns plumped their shells into her, and she was simply torn open. She had at least co•'men aboard, and as wo passed her in wearing round about a dozen were 5001) amid the wreckage, which was of itself ablaze. The third junk hung in the wind for 0 moment and then stood to the westward, to escape behind the islands, "Not if I'm a Yankee and a patriot!" exclaimed Captain White as he saw her game. " We've got two, but it's the glori- ous Fourth and we want the third 01)e. Round with heronen, and we'll fiflish this job in shipshape fashion." When we gut in the wake of the fleeing junk, we ran one of the guns forward and opened on her with shell, but for a time she escaped injury and gradually chew away from us. 'There was a good chance that sho would get away when a shell struck her stern, smashed her rudder, 1111(1 she came up into the wind and was help lees. A white flag was soon run u(p in token of surrender, but a sudden shift of the breeze headed us off, and before we could get down to her sho settled out of sight and left never a man afloat for us to pick up. We had just resumed our com•ete after sailing to and fro for an hour, when the British nian,of-war Torpi(j,gh,00 down on us from the north and hailed to know what it 1111 meant. "Oh, nothing much," answered Captain White as he looked aloft at his flags. "It's just Fourth of July, you know, and as we wanted an old fashionedcelebration we decked out anti then sent three pirate junks to the bottom. Give hien three times three, mon, for Lexington, Bunker Bill and a few other things!" Tennyson's Early Poverty. In letters to Emily Sellwood, who after- ward became his wife, we get hints of Lord Tennyson's slender means in early man- hood. He writes from Warwick in 1840: "I got into the third class of carriages in the train to Leicester. It is a carriage entire- ly open, without scats, nothing but a rail or two running across it, something like pees of cattle. * * * Warwick (that. is the cas- tle) not to be seen till Saturday, as the family are there. Almost afraid I cannot stop as long, as it is very expensive lodg- ing at an inn." After this date wo are told: "AII correspondence between Alfred Tennyson and Eiuily Sellwood was forbid- den, since there seemed to be no prospect of their ever 'being married, owing to that unfortunately "Eternal want of pence Which vexes public men." It was not until 1850 that Tennyson felt able to marry. When "In Memoriam" was to be published, Moxon "had promised a small yearly royalty on this and on the other poems," and the biographe. adds: "And so my father had decided that he could now honorably offer my mother a home. Accordingly, after ten years of separation, their engagement was re- newed." They were Harried on the 11311 of .Truro, the month in which "In Memo- riam" was given to the public. In after life the husband said, "The peace of God came into my lifo before the altar when I wedded her." The son's tribute to his mother is very beautiful, but too long for quotation hero. "Isabel" is said to have been a tribute to his wife, and we need not remind the reader that two of his most exquisite son- nets, "Dear, Near and True," and the dedication to his Last volume, "The Death of tEnono, " wore addressed to her. Glee of his plain tests of manhood is "the ohly- alrous reverence" for womanhood. He once said, "I would pluck my hand from a man, oven if ho were my greatest hero or dearest friend, if 11e wronged a woman Or told a lie. "—Critic. Hard to Reconcile.

IThe Couneil elect of the township of Mullett, viz, John Brigham, Reeve; Alex, Leitch, Deputy Reeve; John Laobam, Jobn Wilson and Robert Ferris, Councillors, met in Hill's hall, Londesboro, on Monday Jan. 10th, wade and subscribed the usual statu- tory deolaratione and commenced busi- ness. A tender for the township print- ing from the Times Printing Co., of Peterborough was read and laid over. 'fenders for the supply of rook elan plank 16 ft long and 24 inches thick will be received by the Council up to 2 p. m. February 15th to be delivered as followr3, 2000 feet at Jas. Snell's, 2000 ft at Leitch's, 2000 ft at Lasham's, 1000 ft at Brigham's, 1000 ft at Ferris' and 2000 feet at Wilson's. The usual by-laws for fixing salaries and appoint.. Ing township officers for the year were read and passed. A number of appli- cations for the officers of Tax Collector, and Asseasor were received and the fol- lowing appointments made:—Auditors George Stephenson by the Reeve, M. Braithwaite, by the Council; Assessor, John F. Staples, Constance; Collector, Robert Smith, Harfock. The Local Board of Health, George Watt reap- pointed for 3 year,, and Dr. Agnew, Medical Health Officer. The township Treasurer handed in the new Municipal Cash book for the inspection of the Council this is the system of Municipal account keeping introduced by J. B. Laing the Prov. Auditor, and to be kept all over the Province by Treasurers and Corporations having a population of 15,000 and less. By this system balairees in hand and in bank can be seen at a glance, and in that respect is quite an improvement on our old method—on the whole it seems to be an excellent plan, but much better adapted to town than township corpora- tions. Meeting of the Council will be held on or about the 15th day of each mouth during the year except as otherwise ordered by the Reeve, JAMES CAMPBELL, Clerk. m-'�yzm.�sw.nxm,aawas.+y✓�,rere�.-:ymz�*aesv.u.,wa<_ v Nice Isn't It To get up to buil'1 a fire these cold Inorning, strike a light, and hear your neighbor's clock strike t'3" Don't sweat'.
