If we do fall in with them, we shall then see who is the best man. In the meantime I trust more to Providence, and the good brig, than anything else, and mean to keep out 0t harm’s way as far as possible. Send the watch up and have the light sails set, Mr. Handy; we’ll give her a good full, and see if we can’t walk away from danger before there is any chance of its overhauling us." The old cailors laughed, and some- times quizzed him unmercii‘ully ; but I confess that, from hearing him so often speak in this way, I had con- ceived a high opinion of the daring and courage of Scales, and determined in the event of an emergency, to keep as close in his wake as possible. In this way we had a. short and pleasant run to our port of destina- tion; and, 0.] though we kept a bright lookout, we never had oven the most distant glimpse of a. suspicious sail. I have said that the harbor of Havana was full of every description of vessels, Spaniards, Dutchmen, Eng- lishmen, French and American. Some Among the rest I remember there was no one braver on these occasions than an ordinary seamnn, named Scales; Whether in any way related to the famous “ John 0’ the Scales," in the old ballad, I have never to this day been able to ascertain. He was not much of a sailor, even for an ordi- nary one, having come in from the country, and learned all he knew of the art of seamanship in the course of one or two fishing voyages of no very long duration. At any rate, he talked very large indeed, upon occasion of these conversations about the pirates, and sneered at them as cowardly wretches, Whom the first show of re- sistance would appal and heat off. “Let 'om come on," said he, “ and if they are not more than three or four to one, we'll soonshow’em Who's best at a close hug. Who cares, I should like to know, for their black boards and rod caps_and long knives? Such cruel devils are always devilish cowards. Let ’em try to board us, if they dare, and give me a good setting- pole, and I'd knock 'em over the gun- wale as I would frightened fowls from a hen-roost.” On several occasions he overheard these bravadoes of our messmate, Scales; for, although every degree of disci line was strictly maintained in tho 5 ip, yet When a man undertakes to set up his own prowess, he is apt to do so in a tone sufficiently distinct to attract observation. A horrible notoriety has attached itself to the name of Cape St. Antonio, round which the ugly craft of these attroeious villains lurked, though it was whispered that they did not scru- ple to walk at noon-day in the very streets of Havana, and there often ob- tained the information which led to the frequent success oftheir infamous expeditions. We had trusted, how- ever, very much to the “ long legs" of our light and beautiful vessel. and had besides the means, and we hoped the spirit to stand a pretty good pull with any of the smaller craft. at least, should any such seo tit to attack us. The newspapers, for a long time be- fore we sailed, had been full of the details of transactions like those to which I have alluded. We had talked over these things on our outward pas- sage, in our watches on deck and sometimes below, and often imagined how we should behave, in case we should fall in with anything whose force was not so very i'ar superior to, our own as to render it madness to, resist. i I was saying it was in the year 182-, a year memorable for the many piraeies perpetrated in those seas by those ferocious wx-etches who so wan- tonly sacrificed the life 0t many a noble fellow, in the execution oftheir infamous purposes, and whose many brutal enormities committed upon the young, and beautiful and defenseless, have filled the lonely sea with shi-icks which God only heard with pitying ear, and which He, in His own good time, will doubtless amply avenge. } It was in the year 182-, and one of those stifling days, when the very air of the tropics seems too hot to breathe, and almost scorehes you as you in- hale it, and the good brig Sylph, to which I was atta<zhed,vaept into the harbor of Havana, and dropped an- chor in the midst of a most motley fleet‘ which was then and there con- gregated from nearly every nation under the sun. My older brother was captain of the brig. I was ayoungâ€" ster ofless than eighteen, buthad seen considerable service before. I was ranked on the shipping papers as an “able seaman," and although perhaps I ought not to say it, I could at that time hand, reef and steer my trick with the best man that ever stood at the wheel. The brig was a beautiful vessel, and sailed like a Witch. We had been on the same voyage before, and besides lighter armament, for certain reasons we had a couple of four-pound barkers on the quarter- deck, ready to be run out Whenever oceasian required it. A Night in Cuba. RICHMOND HiLL, ONTARIO, CANADA. FRIDAY, JUNE 6, .1873 Every hope was now gone. The effort to Spring from the neighborhood ot'the shuttertd-spar, and the noise of its fall awoke me from my excited sleep. The first sight that greeted my eyes was a shaggy, hatless head, glaring through the port-hole, close to Where I was lying. The hands of the owner w'ere upon the vessel’s side, and he was evidently on the point of springing on board from the boat beneath. How many companions he had I knew not: but the thoughts of the SpaniSh ship and my own immin- ent peril, flashed like lightning on my mind. The suddennoss of the transaction deprived meof‘ the power of thought or speech. I had no weapon at hand, nor an instant’e time for re» fiection. Still, it seemed if we could but get round a point of land not far distant, we should be in comparative safety; and the chances were yet not very desperate, when an unlucky shot from one of her bow-chasers struck our foretopmast amidships, just above the crossâ€"trees, and brought it with a thundering crash, end on the deck, within a foot of the place where I was standing. But necessity is proverbally fertile in expedients. Quick as thoughtl They had repaired these damages with great alucrity, and We could easily distinguish, as she neared us, the significant emblems on the omin- ous black flag hoisted at her main, and the savage countenances and red shirt-s oftho impatient crowd upon her decks. For my own part, my position was near the starboard bow port, which, with the others, was left open for the benefit of the free circulation of the air. Lying upon the deck, wrapped in my blanket and gazing upward under the awning to the stars, my thoughts occasionally revered home- wurde, as I reflected upon the hard- ships and evil chances of a sailor‘s life. rrho subject of over evening's conversation, however, was upper- most in my thoughte, us I finally fell asleep only to renew my speculations still more vividly in my dreams. I imagined the brig at sea under press of sail, and clueely pursued by a clipper-built lugger, which seemed to have somewhat the advantage of us in point of sailing. We had made almost superhuman efforts to escape, and had manfully plied our two four- pounders, inflicting occasional, but not very serious, injury upon the spare and hull of our enemy. As usual, Scales took the lead in the discussion of these topics, and my confidence in his resources continued unabated. But even sailors finally get tired of taking, and, one by one, our tired crew dropped into the em- braces of'the drowsy god. The principal, if not the .Only Mil.) ject ol'convera‘ution with us that night, was the stories we had heard during the day, and particularly the murder- ous attack on the Spanish vessel un- der the very eyes of the police, and in bold defiance of the military gov- ernment of‘ the island. Officers lounged on the qustrler- deck, inhaling the delicious air, and assisting their speculations upon the prices of outward and homeward car- goes, with that fragrant herb, which seemed such an absolute necessary of the enervatizzg and drowsy climate; and sailors, collected forward, with many a. long-spun yarn filled up the moments of their sacred limit; The sewbreeze, with its freshenmg and enlivening breath, had long since ruffled the placid and golden wuvo. The noisy port had become compare. tively quiet. Now and then, some swiftly-dipping oars betokuned the return of the captain ofsomo of our neighbors from the town. The day continued hot and oppres- sive, and before the evening breeze set in, without which the climate would be absolutely unendurable, we had rigged am awning on the forecastle, to keep ofi' the night-(laws, propomg, as is usual, to sleep in our blankets on deck. The accommodations aft, however, were respectable enough to enable the captain and mates to take up their quarters below. Amongst other things it was said that, in the very harbor itself a Span- ish ship had been boarded a few nights before, rifled ofa large amount of specie, and several of her crew mur- dered; and that the perpetrators of this during outrage had escaped with- out leaving the slightestclew to their detection. It is not surprising that those things should have wrought upon our imaginations“ findeed, the excitement on all hands was immense, and we only shared in the general feeling. W'e found plenty of our acquain- tancesiu port, and. although we had not as yet much opportunity for con- versation, W0 soon discovered that they had new horrors enough to com- municale. There Were lying at anchor, among the rest, two or three long, low, black, uglylooking s'chooners, which nobody appeared to know anything about. They neither took in nor discharged cargo, but seemed like “loafers from parts unknuwn” among the busy throng by which they were sur- rounded. had just arrived, others were ready forsea, and some, I verily believe, were actually mm. to sail, unless under convoy, or in pretty strongâ€" hauded company, bound on the sauna course. MI Esq. A about of laughter was the reply of the crew, in which I could not; help joining, though sCm-celyyet i'ecovez‘éd from the agitations which had over- whelmed me; but, after that night, I will do Scales the justice to say that I never heard him allude to the subject again. - I forgot to mention that, after we had begun co getsomcwhat composed, happening to cast my eye into the mainq‘igging, I saw our friend Scales jump out of it on deck, with an air at onee ofdeiiance and generous enthu- siasm for the various interests likely to require his interference for their defence. He came forward with great uhicrity, and seizing a handspike which one of the crew had dropped, flouriahed it with infinite spirit round his head, and cried with a command- ing tono,â€"~ “ \Vhere' are these pirates ? If there are any here, let them come on I” ' ' In the meantime the disturbance was by no menus confined to our own vessel. The idea of pirates. was upon every mind; and the tumult thus oc- curring at the dead hour of" night spread on the wings of the wind. We could hear the mustering on board of the various craft throughout the haâ€"r her, the sacres and santissima tfiidadâ€" astrm, John Bull’s national imprccw tion. and the hoarse dunner and blitzen from the clumsy galliots, which had somehow or other contrived to get there from what used to be the domin- ions of their High Mightinesees, the States General 1 The echo flew from one ship to another till it died away into the far distance. The city itself roused with the uuwonted sound. The drums beat to arms in its gun-i some, and the watchful sentinelon the rumpurts of the distant and gloomy More, heard its last reverberations, and paused and listened on “ his lonely round.” But all at length be- came again quiet, and with hearts re- lieved from the ueuul agitations ot'the occasion, we once more addressed our- selves to sleep. The story was soon told. It seems that Holiday had conceived the idea of visiting one of his messmates, who belonged to a vessel lying at no great distance from us, and not choosing to ask lcave,in order to avoid observaâ€" tion had taken the jolly-boat and sculled away upon his expedition. He had returned late, and as silently as possible; but when he reached the brig, the force of the current had driven the boat's bow against the ves- sel’s side. This was the noise which had awakened me from my uneasy sleep, and the appearance of Holiday‘s head immediately afterwards through the open port, had thus aroused my fears and occasioned all thetcrrorand confusion which ensued. ' “What is the matter, then,” said the capta’m), “and what. is all this foolish rumpus about ?" “ Pirate? said he. “ Good Heavens! There um notpimtes here, 1 hope, but what are in your imagination.” "VWas that you. lack ?” cried I, (jumping on my feet as though a mountain had boen lifted from my bosom, and feeling my side, as the sudden thought of the knife crossed my mind) “and was there no pirate after all ?" “ Harry, Harry,” said he, “ what is the matter with you ? What the devil gotinto you to beat me about so with your infernal blanket? You almost knocked the very breath out of my body 1” I could have remained in this con- dition but for a moment or two, for when I again opened my eyes, there was a confused sound about me of loud voices and of stamping of feet ; the captain was running forward with cutlass and pistols in his hands, and the mates, also armed, were close at his heels. The crew were coming down from the rigging and various other places of refuge, and one of them was lifting me in his arms and chafing my temples with his hand. AL first I started at; h1s resemblance: to the supposed pirate; but soon re-l cognized him as Jack Holiday, one of the best, and heartiest of our Ibremast hands. At length, by one strong efibrt, he threw himself on the deck, and, at the same moment, grasped me power- fully by the arms. He screamed out something, I knew not what, in o. choked and broken voice. I gave up all for lost. There was evident scram b- ling about the decks. I supposed his gang was close behind him. 1 felt his knife plunging into my side, and fell breathless and senseless upon the deck. But this could not last long. The excitement ofmy condition, as well as my incessant exertions, were fast exlmustingmy strength, and the per- spiration streamed from every pore of my body. On the other hand, no doubt the current was sweeping the boat from under the feet of my oppon- ent, and it belioVed him to free him.- self from his unpleasant predicament as quickly as possible. was on my feet, and seizing my blan- ket by the ende with both hands, I made the bite of it fly across the in- truder’s face and eyes with a rapidity and. effect far beyond the powor of adequate expression. Indeed, so ef- fective was the discipline of the blan- ket,_acr053 the mouth of our friend, the pirate. as fair] y to takchis breath away; and although it; was evident he had made various efi‘orts to speak, it was impossible f0v him to mtelfian ‘ artieulate syllable. ‘ It is stated in the Philadelphia papers that these ladies were expelled an the request of a majority of the male students.

The method which is adoptad for procuring water will doubtless be eventually followed by all the lake cities ot‘uny considerable size. ‘leve- land has done so already. ’l‘o Chi- cago belongs the honor of making the first attempt. New machinery had to be invented adapted to the exigencies of the occasion. It can readily be imagined that it requires no little ingenuity to bring out the end of 21. tunnel through the deep waters of a lake two miles from shore, without getting any water in it. In this case it was accomplished by the sinking of an immense iron tube nine feet in diameter, undoi- great length. The construction oi“ this tube and ita successful placing in position required the invention of a special process. To Mr. Ur. R. Brainâ€" hall, the engineer who had the spe- cial charge of the sinking of the shaft, belongs the credit of oVeremn- ing the dilfieulty. a city of three times its present size. Itstucilities tbr‘enppreseing tire will be unsurpassed, and now that Chicago river water is turned. into the Gulf of Mexico, there is little danger of its impurities ever reaching as 1hr out as the crib. Under the very able and satisfactory management of E. S. Chcsbrougli, city engineer, there have been no mistakes made, nor any casualties so far in the construction of these water tunnels. Except for the delay caused by the fire every- thing hue gone along smoothly, and every one has confidence that the present enterprise will terminate as successfully as the former. When the néw works are in full operation the water supply of Chiâ€" cago will be more thgn adequate for From the tunnel there are to be nine or more shafts reaching to the surface of the g‘ound for tire purâ€" poses. 'l'he water of course will rise in them to the level of the lake, and, should the pumping wurks give out, will be Cilblly accessible to the engines. This land-tunnel, as well as its lake connection, is to have a ver- tical diameter in the clear of seven feet and two inches, and :1 horizontal diameter of seven feet. Its capacity will be over 100,000,000 gallons per day. It will be lined with heavy masonry, a foot thick, and of the best materials. Jan. 1, 1875, is specified as the date of its comple- non. By the great fire the water works were destroyed, and the city left Without. means for checking the flames. It was, therel'ore, deter- mined to have different sets of water works, and in ditl’erent parts of the city, whereby the danger of ax simi- lar destitution might be guarded against in the future. The epot ee~ leeted for the new works is at the corner of Ashland and Blue lulund avenues, three and five-sixths miles from the old ones, and to reach it the new tunnel is to be extended under the city, river, large business houses and all. Already the bids are in and the award of the contract under con- rsiderution. It is estimated that the cost will be somewhere in the neigh- bourhood of $1,000,000. Among the many very important. engineering enterprises of the day there is one in which Chicago is particularly interested, and which has received comparatively little notice. It is no less than the con- struction of a tunnel six miles long, seven feet in diameter, and seventy feet below the level of Lake Michigan. Two miles of it is beneath the lukefand four miles of it will run in a direct line under the city of Chicago, more than half way to the Western limit of the corporation. Its object is to furnish a supply of pure water fully adequate to the waan of a. rapidly-increasing population for many years to come. 1 Woman as a Dentist.

The famous Austrian diamond, once belonging to ‘ the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was long thought a bit of rock crystal, being of a beautiful lemon-yellow color. It was sold from a stall in the market- place of Florence, and brought a few pence. Then there are stories about the cutting ofdiamonds. An infinite deal depends on the cutting. The Koh-i-noor is said to have lost three fourths of its weight in the cutting. A late‘pbilosophcr wanted a. piece of diamond for a philosophical purpose.
