V when you think you are a good half ' levant in that it is connected with pil~ high guards both sides of the Mississip- pi all the way down the lower end of the river. and this embankment is set back from the edge of the shore from ten to l'ierhapsa hundred feet, accord- ' ing to circumstances, say thirty to forty feet as a general thing. Fill that whole ' region with an impenetrable gloom oi smoke from a hundred miles of burn- ing bagasse piles, when the river is over the banks, and turn a steamboat loose along there at midnight, and see how she will feel. And see how you will feel too! You find yourself away out in the midst of a vague, dim see. that ' is shoreless, that fades out and loses itâ€" self in the murky distances: for you cannot discern the thin ribs of the em- bankment, and you are always imagin- ing you see a straggling tree when you don’t. The plantations themselves are transformed by the smoke, and ’look like a part of the sea. All through your watch you are tortured with the t' exquisite misery of uncertainty. You hope you are keeping in the river, but you don’t know. All that you are sure about is that you are likely to be with- in six feet of the bank and destruction, mile from share. And you are sure, also, that if you chance suddenly to fetch up against the, embankmentand topple your chimneys overboard, you will have the small comfort of know- ing that it is about what you are ex- pected to do. One of the great Vicks- burg packets darted out into a sugar plantation one night, at such a. time, and had to stay there a week. But there was no novelty about it; it had often been done before. I thought I had finished this num- ber, but ,1 wish to add a curious thing, while it is in my‘rnind. It is only re- oting. There used to he an excellent piloton the river, a Mr. X, who was a. ‘somnabulist. It was said that if his mind was troubled about a bad piece of river, he was pretty sure to get up and walk in his sleep and do strange things. He was once fellowâ€"pilot for a trip or two with George E , on a great New Orleans passenger packet. Dur- ing a considerable part of the first trip George was uneasy, but got over by and by, as X. seemed content to stay in his bed when asleep. Late one night the boat was approaching Helena, Arâ€" kansas; the water was low, and thei crossing above the town in a very blind and tangled condition. X. had seen1 the crossing since Eâ€"-â€"-â€" had, and as the night was particularly drizzly, sulâ€" len, and dark, Eâ€"â€"-â€" was considering whether he had not better have A. called to assist in running the place, when the door opened and X. walked in. Now on very dark nights, light is a deadly enemy to piloting, and you are aware that if you stand 1n a. lighted room, on such a. night, you cannot see things in the street to. any purpose; but if you put out the lightsand stand in the gloom you can make out objects in the streets pretty well. So, on very dark nights, pilots do not smoke, they allow no fire in the pilot-house stove if there is a crack which can allow the least ray to escape ; they order the fur- naces to be curtained with huge tar- paulins, and the skylights to be closely blinded. Then no light whatever is- sues from the boat. The undefinable shape that now entered the pilot-house had Mr. X’s. voice. This said,â€"â€" 01d Times on the Mississ1ppi. An embankment rten Pr fifteen feet “Let me take her, Mr. F ; I’ve seen this place since you have, and it; is so crooked that I reckon I can run it myself easier thanI could tell you how to do it.” “ It) is kind of you, and I siveai‘ I am Willing. I haven’t got another drop of perspiration left in me, I. have been spinning around undiarounil the wheel like a squirrel. It. is so dark I can’t tell which way she is swinging till she is coming around liken whir- ligig.” ' So E-â€"â€"â€" took a seat on the bench, panting and breathless. The black phantom assumed the Wheel without saying anything, steadied the Waltzing steamer with a turn 01' two, and then stood at ease, coaxing her a. little to this side and then to that as gently and as sweetly as if the time had been noon- day. When Eâ€"-â€"â€" witnessed this mar- vel of steering, he wished he had not- confessed! He shared and wondered, and fia'allynsaid, K. said nothing, but went serenely} on with his work. He rang for the leads; he rung to slow down the steam ; he worked the boat carefully, neatly into invisible marks, then stood at' the Centre of the wheel and peered mlandly out into the blackness, fore and aft, to Verify his position ; as the leads shmzh ed more and more, he stopped the en- ginesv entirely, and the dead silence and suspense of “drifting ” followed; when th: shoalest water was struck, he cr‘ucked on the steam, carried her hand- somely oVer, and then began to work her ,warily into next. system of Shoal marks; the same patient, heedful use of leads and engines followed, the bout slipped through without touching bot- tom, and entered upon the third and lastiutricacy of the crossing; imper ceptibly she moved through the gloom, crept by inches into her marks, drifted tediously till the shoalest water was 'cried, and then, under a tremendous head of steam, went swinging over the reef and away into deep water and safety. ' “ Well, 'I thdught I knew how to steer a steamboat, but that Was another mistake of mine.” Eâ€"â€" let his long-pent breath pour out in a great, relieving sigh, and said, ’ “That's the sweetest piece of pilotâ€" ing that was 1% er done on the M issis- SipIJi River I I wouldn’t believe it could be done, if I hadn't seen it.” There was no reply, and he added, “ Just hold her five minutes longer. partner, and let me run down and get a cup of coffee.” A, minute later Eâ€" was biting into a pie, down in the “texas,” and BY MARK TWAIN. comforting himself with coffee. Just then the night watchman happened in, and was about to happen out again, when he noticed E-â€"â€"â€", and exclaimed, “ Dart for the pilot-house, quicker than lightning I" The next moment both men were fly- ing up the pilot-house companionâ€"way, three steps at a. jump ! Nobody there I The great steamer was whistling down the middle of the river at her own sweet will! The watchman shot out of the place again, E â€"â€" seized the wheel, set an engine back with power, and held his breath while the boat re- luctantly swung away from a. “ tow- head,” which she was about to knock into the middle of the Gulf of Mexico ! By-ancLbye the watchman came back and said, “ Didn’t that lunatic tell you he was asleep when he first came up here 1” :6 No H “ Well, he was. I found him walkâ€" ing along on the top of the railings, just as unconcerned as another man would walk a pavement; and I pul him to bed; now just this minute there- he was again, away astern, going through that sort of tightrope devilbry the same as before.” “Well, I think 1:11 stay by, next bimehe has one of those fits. But I hope he’ll have them often. You just ought to have seen him take this boat through Helena. crossing. I never Sa“ anything so gaudy before. And if he can do such gold-leaf, kid-glove, dia- mondâ€"breastpin piloting when he is sound asleep, Whth couldn’t he do if he was dead I” The Tcherkess of the Great and Lit- (1 tle Kabardah breed a splendid race of horses. Brought up in the‘wild steppe. amid dangers and nightly alarms, its apprehensive sagacity becomes ear] y de- l velnped in a high degree. It is a fine I animal, with a strong spine, powerful croop and thigh, and great width 01 shoulders and chest ; the knee-caps are- brcad, the hoof as if formed of iron, head and neck? tolerably light; every- thing seems combined to make them trusty, indefatigable servants to man. The Tchetchents, the most ferocious and determined brigands of the Can- casus (now, fortunately, only in small numbers), used to buy their horses in the Kabardah. They pick out the most promising one-yearâ€"olds, take them home, where they are, so to say, received into the bosom of the family. The receivestheir food when the latter : sits dOWn to a' meal, and they often ' sleep in the same room. The young children will play with them, talk to them, and crawl all day long over and about them ; what wonder if the horse becomes almost as wise as its master? The young boys will sometimes mount him and gallop over the prairies, but no adult thinks of bestriding him be- ;fore he has finished his sixth year. His bones have then become firmly deâ€" Veloped, his sinews and feet are steel, his wind is invincible. He knows his master's Voice and look; nay. he has even some notion of his character. His nerves have from his birth been finely turned to the sound of danger or mysterious enterprise. It knows when its brigand master is on an expedition of risk and unlawful daring. A whis- pered word sends him down into the high steppe-weed or bushes situated near the road at a place where the latâ€" ter is difficult, where a convenient ditch is at hand to receive a carriage and its human freight. In breathless silence both wait for what may turn up. A The ears of the Tchetchentsisn Black Bess slily move to every waft of the light wind, and before the man can hear the slightest sound he sees by the demean- orof his steed that business will soon beat hand. Harkl a faint sound of the postal bell (fastened to the poll of the vehicle) strikes his car, he feels for his gun, his pistol, his razoredged sword, the large dagger (kincha), and breathlessly awaits the approach of the travellers. Not a. single thought bes- towing on the probable number or qual- ity of the foe, he stands over his horse, which slowly gathers his feet up be- neath him. At last the moment for action. has arrived. The carriage is just at the right distance from the 'ditch 'or other accidental difficulty of the load-qr soft touch, and horse and man am up. With the bound of a tiger the horse pounces upon the lead» ere, attacking them with hoof and tooth. Simultaneously the rider has fired at the driver; mad with terror the post horses have jumped off the load», percipitating the carriage in the hole, and before its inmates have time , to feel for their revolvers they are eased of at least part of their property, and may thank God if they have not bloken neck and limb in their fall. Beforethey recover from their fright the 'l‘chetchent is already several miles on his gallop home. He has a hard, ride before him, and he, as well as his cunning quadruped, know it full well ; for to-morrow there will be an enquiry about Where Muhamed, or Arsslan Boy, or Moussa, were that night. \Vith a'. calm smile our brig-and friend re- plies to the Russian Grade-Natchal‘ nik’s question,â€"â€"-“ Where should I have been but here? The robbery was com- mitted near the Aknonskoy Stanitzi, 150 versts(80 miles) from heie; and ' what? at nine o’clock you say; why, I was here at twelve, as I can prove, and I could not ride that distance in three hours." The officer, up to Tchetchent’s - tricks, and anything but satisfied, turns to the steed to discover from his a ppear- ance the effects of so severe a ride; but the nag is quietly eating his corn, and - looking as contented and playful as it ~ he knew that his master’s safety de- 3 pended on his brave bearing. U A good many people were recently deluded into going into an apothc- cary's shop in a village to see a red bat, which had been captured, and was on exhibition. They saw it, and it was red, as a. brickbab usually is. Who is at. the wheel, sir ‘1” Russian Brjgands. -y~6o 6.6 An affair of the heartâ€"Aha circula- tion of the blood.

Poor remedies are dear, as good are cheap, at‘ any price you have to pay for them.-â€"â€"Uharleston Courier. A Bridgeport physician While driv- ing out upon an errand of mercy the other day was so unfortunate as to have his cap blown from his head. As soon as possible he reined in his horse, and on going back to look for the lost article, found that a dog had been ahead of him, and was beatinga fast retreat with his prize. The doc- tor, being unable to cope with the an- imal on foot, returned to his buggy and chased the dog a distance of Sev- eral blocks. Then the latter turned in at a gate and the doctor again leaped bareheaded to the ground, but had to run through several yards and scale half a dozen back fences before he recovered his cap. The dog had arrived home and appeared veryfinueh delighted with the race. The doctor also was delighted to recover his head gear, for it was of seal-skin and quite valuable. A reckless Bavarian, who prided himself upon his skill as a marksman, recently bethought himself ofa crown- ing proof of his unerring aim. He thereupon led his son, a lad of eleven years, to a certain spot and pach oii' seventy yards. Upon the boy’s head thus pasted he placed an apple, and retiring with his rifle to the distance of 210 feet, he called upon his friendsl who had assembled to witness the dangerous and heartless act to ob- serve that he should cut the apple in; two, without harming his child. He deliberately raised the weapon, fired, and cut the apple in the middle, leav- in};r the child neither seathed nor frightened, so confident was the latter in the father’s skill. The heartless i man was then about to repeat the ex periment, when the police, secretly informed, it was said. by the boy's mother, came-upon the ground and interfered to prevent the continuance of such a dangerous experiment, and arrested the father, imprisoning him for a number of days in punishment for his toolbardinels. Miscellaneous Items; Curious tales have been told of re- markable dreams, but seldom has‘any- thingr more amusing been related than the experience of a. gentleman who a short time since professed to be a dream- er. The story, which appears in a Melbourne paper, runs as follows :â€"A colonist, living in the capital of Vic-l tnrio, was visited one afternoon lately by n “vgcntlenianly-looking stranger,” who presented a note of introduction. The stranger was at once rcccivied with effusive kindness, and invited to spend the afternoon at the suburbhn resi- dence of his host. The invitation was accepted, and in each other’s'society the two newly-made friends passed the evening. Night at length drew on unâ€" noticed, and return to the city being difficult at such an hour, the stranger was asked to stay. At breakfast next morning,r he appeared greatly perturbed, and, on being interrogated, admitted that he had had a dream which some- what agitated him. He had dreamt, in fact, that at a place which he minutely described, he had seen an old man bury three small bags of gold, each enclosed in a preservojar; did his host know any such spot? “To be sure,” was the reply, “it is not a quarter of a mile away; we will go at once.” Go they did. and, what was more astonishâ€" 2 ing, discovered three bags, precisely as related by the dreamer, these bags con- ‘ tnining what appeared to be gold, in lumps, worth between £300 and £400. Of course it was agreed that the sum should be divided between them, and thus, with their treasure-trove, they proceeded to Melbourne, the host being entrusted with the metal for the purpose of disposal. As the strangerwas in want of some cash meanwhile, his friend at his request, advanced him a cheque for $500, and promised to meet him fer a. final adjustment ,of their relative claims in the afternoon. Need it be added that the stranger was heard of no more; that the: gold turned out to.;bc spurious ; that the note of introductiOn was a forgery; and that just now the Colonial police are anxiously enquiring for the genial old man who buried the bags, and then dreamt that he saw them ‘l “Mankind,” it has been re- marked, “is divided into two classes â€"-»f00ls and rogues." The old saying was somewhat exaggerated, but it is clear there are some of each class in every quarter of the globe. A Dream and its Consequences. An Oregon paper relates this story : â€"“ A few days since ane of; Portland's principal business men hzid'occasion to visit Roseburg. where he tarried over night. After retiring to his room he fastened the door with a chair, but fail- ed to put the window down, and went to bed. Just as his ‘weary brain had ceased to ._t_hrob, and he was sailing into dreamlund in the arms of Morpheus, he felt a sudden jerk at the pillow whereon restedhis devoted head. He raised up in bed, and looked and felt round in the darkness, but discovered nothing. He again lay down, and rruched about the same spot' in the ‘ hind of Nod, when he was again started to a. sitting posture. ~AnOther examinâ€" ation resulted as before, and again he sought exhausted nature’s Sweet restor- er, balmy sleep. In a, few moments he felt the pant-4100118 glide‘ from beneath the pillow, and heard them fall heavily upon the floor, the silver coins rolling merrily about. The gentleman sprang from the bed and seized his pistol, thinking to have a first-class burglar to toast for breakfast. No sooner had he ‘ touched the floor than a. pet coon, ? which had entered at the window, mis- I took one of his limbs for a. fence post, and up he went. This was too much lor the gentleman, who, rushed from the room, down the hall, into the din- ing-room, out the back door into the yard, back again through the sitting- room, like a mad-mad, pistol in hand, culling for help. By this time the house. was aroused andcalne to his res cue, and had the meeting in the hall been transferred to some secluded spot it would have passed for a convention of ghosts. The coon Was captured and . turned out of doors, while the unfortu- nate individual returned to his room to dream of burglars, coons, nudiassassâ€" ins. Even the gentlest lamb éould‘ not stand the curious sensation of a coon shinning up his leg in‘the dark.” Mr. *Spurgeonon the French and German War.
