J. A. Matm, in Century. A PIRATICAL TALE. A "Put-up Job," and How It Did Not Succeed. A reporter for tho Sun, who was walking along t ho water front on Har lem Hiver, above tho Astoria Ferry, the other day, got acquainted with one of tho men employed on a big bargo that was tied up at a pier. After a abort talk ho was invited down into tho cabin of tho bargo "to aco tho old man." Tho cabin was simply a section of the hold cut oflf by a bulkhead, and tilted for the homo of tho two men who worked tho bargo. These two men wero brothers, and "tho old man" was their father. Ho was over eighty years old, but wax able to read a newspaper comfortably by tho aid of spectacles. Tho cabin had a stove on ono sido, four bunks on tho other, a table, several chairs, lockers and chest. Tho walls wore covered with picture cards and il lustrations from comic papers, and, as the place was scrupulously clean, it was much more attractive than one would have supposed possible while looking at tho rough exterior of the bout. Just over the upper bunk hung a curious gun. Tho old man, seeing the stranger eyeing It, look it down. Jt had a bur rel about two feet long and threo inches thick at the butt Tho muzzle flared like tho muzzle of an old-fushioned cannon. The stock was shaped some thing like the stock of an old horse pistol, except that it terminated in a round ball about one and one-half inches in diameter. Tho barrel was brass and the stock mahogany, brass mounted. There was an old-fashioned Hint lock, by which it might have been tired, the boro of the gnu was ex actly ono inch in diameter, and not rilled. "I got it in Sisel, in tho Culf of Mox Ico, when a boy," said tho old man, "It was made in France, as tho inscrip tion on it shows. That was my tint vovace. ' Tho old man placed tho gun across his knees and began rubbing the brass mounting Willi a piece of oilr llanuel although thev were as bright as if already polished on that day-. hen he was urged to tvll how lie got it, lie said: "1 was on tho brig Merto, a slow tub of about one hundred and twcutv-livo tons. She sailed out of this port bound for ports in ihetiulf of Mexico with an assorted cargo. That was in tho fall of Wo had a lonyr liassane down tho coast. It was eighteen days before wo reached the liahnuia Hanks, but this did not seem to worry the Captain or the Mtpcrcurgo either. lor that matter, Heing tho only boy in the crew of twelve men, I had to play the servant iu the cabin for those two gentlemen every day, and stand my watch at night Is'siiles. Alter 1 d been aboard a lew davs 1 began to notice that tho Captain never talked to tho Supercargo about anvlhing except the carjro and the in surnnee and the specie they were to get at their destination, and the probability of meeting a pirate. The Supercargo's name was Waldo. After awhile 1 learned that he was half owner of the vessel, and that this vovairo was, in some wav that 1 didn't understand, to make a great fortune for him, and that tho t aptain, a sharp-nosed laukee named Norton, was to get a good snare also, wiicu I told the men iu the forecastle about the talk iu the cabin, they listened very closely to wnat was saut about pirates, and all agreed that the lumbering old hooker we were in would stand no show if overhauled by any of tho vessels that were living black Hags down that wav in those days. Why, Mantanas, iii Cuba, was headquarters for tho worst lot of cutthroats ever seen, and tho ofi'ieers in tho garrison even owned shares In tho vessels. "While wo were making across tho Gulf a smart young sailor that never said much came to me when I wm on the lookout one night and said ho wiw pretty sure we wouldn't meet any pirates gojngdown, but ho advised mo to buy some sort of a weapon that would kill every shot, and get it on board without the Captain seeing it, the first time 1 got on shore. That seemed curious to me, but I didn't think much about it. being too busy planning ways to get a little extra sleep, and wishing I could get sick so 1 wouldn't have to work so hard. "Afu r a tedious passago across the Gulf wo reached Sisel, in Yucatan. There was no port there worth speak ing of, but a big pier ran out through the surf, aud we discharged some cargo there. We were there five days. Ono evening 1 was on shore wandering around the forty or fifty rude houses that composed the village w hen I was invited into one of the houses. On the wall of the the ainsrlo room hung this old blunderbuss. When 1 saw it I re membered what the young man hail aid, but the owner wanted a doubloon for iU and I didn't have anr doubloons. I told the sailor about ft the next day. I was greatly astonished w hen ho an onco gavo mo the coin, and in a voice that was very much like an order told me to get the weapon before morning. "From Sisel we sailed to Campeaeby. We had to anchor outside the bar there, becauxo there was only six feet of water over it. We discharged some of tho cargo into the qnror lighters made of the trunks of trees hollowed out into canoes. Then we went to Laguna and to Tamplco, and there we sold tho lust of our cargo. 'I heard tho Supercargo say that we had had a very prolitable voyage so far. There was over fourteen thousand dollars in specie on hoard, besides a lot of Inuifro, cochineal anu logwood. We reached across the Gulf into the longitude of the Uahamas without ever seeing a sail; but one night, just after we'd sighted Moro light, a big hloop, ranged upon our weather quarter and hailed us. I was below at the time, but the young man was on deck. Ho Jumped down into the forecastle and shouted Pi rates!' Then he hauled mo out of my bunk. " 'Out with your gun,' says he. " 'It ain't loaded,' says 1. " 'Yes it is,' he said, and sure enough I found it was when I pulled it from under my mattress. Then I went on deck. Tho Captain and tho Super cargo were storming about ordering tho men first one way and then the other, and making a great mess of at tempting to point the nine-pounder we had amidshms at the sloop. While the men worked tho young sailor called ono of them to ono sido and asked him if ho was ready for tho fight, and was told that he was. Then the young man came to me and whispered that it wouldn't bo much of a fight, but that 1 should stay near the fore rigging, and whenever tho sloop sent a boat over to us to fire into it. Just then a big jet of llame burnt from the sido of the sloop, and a cannon ball whirled through the maintopsuil and carried away tho foretopsail yard to leeward. Then tho Captain and the Supercargo shouted together, ottering to surrender and begging for quarter. In reply, they were gruffly told to hold their tongues. A few minutes later a long bout, with six men in it, started for tho brig, aud was soon almost along side. Then the young sailor turned to his companion and said: " 'Now.' They both lirod big pistols at tho boat, and one man in it tell over into tho water. " 'Quick; lire at her.' yelled the young man to me. At the same mo ment Captain Norton, with an oath, rushed at us and asked what we meant by shooting after we had surrendered. In reply ho was knocked half way across tho deck by tho young sailor, who said something about 'hanging the skunk.' Then ho snatched my old blunderbuss and dropped another man in the boat. Tho rest of our crew were thundurstruck, and tho boat's crew wero trying to head around when tho young man yelled: " 'Avant there; comenboard tho brig, or I'll blow you out of the water.' Iheyntonco began to obey. Mean time ('aptain Norton showed signs of returning consciousness, anil was unceremoniously dumped into the forecastlu on tho order of tho young sailor. The Supercargo had lied to tho cabin when ho saw tho deadly ellect of the sailor's fire, llo was ordered out on deck after tho Captain had been thrown into tho forecastle, but ho didn t obey. 1 had gone aft with tho young sailor, and wo could hear groaning in the cabin. A look through tho skylight showed Waldo on the floor with a knife in his breast. He had committed suicide. Tho sailors In the small boat came alongside soon after, and climbed over the rail. They were unarmed, but a few old muskets were on the boat thwarts. They helped to get the body of the dead man out of the boat when ordered to do so. Ho looked very much like tho man lying dead in the cabin, ami, Ui fact, proved to be his brother. "Was ever such a pirate story as that told before r said the reporter. "Yes," sa d the old man, "but not often. I here were lots of just such pirates as Waldo and his brother, but few such bright fellows as the younir sailor. This pirate business was a ut up job to beat the insurance companies. The vessel and her cargo had been in sured for m (it'll more than they were worth. Waldo went out and made a reasonably prolitable voyage, aud his brother, in a Matan.as sloop, waited near Moro light to capture the whole outfit. Of course there had to be some show of resistance so that the crew could testify about it. Hut one of tho .New lork insurance people was sus pieious and sent the young sailor aloiH to watch matters. He was intended merely as a witness for them, but bo had the courage to ntlack tho conspir ators single-handed. The Waldo who was killed in the boat had an inch hole tnrougn mm irom ins gun. 1 never learned anything about tho other man who was shot iu tho small boat, but he was probably an innocent sailor. Cup t:u Norton, who was in leajruo witli the pirates, made his escape in New 1 ork harbor. e made a srreat sensa tion when we got there. If I had only known how to take care of the shiners they gave me on shore to reward what they called my bravery I would not now have to live in an old bargo like this. A". 1'. Sun.

A Pretty l'ennylvnl Maiden FurnUhM Town Hit. Ann Crawford chanced to be a pretty girl and so Connellsville, Pa., was built. Zachariah Council, a Hardy young Virginian, without much silver to jingle in the pockets of his homespun trousers, but with a great deal of hard sense under his coonskin cap, journeying through the trackleis woods of the farthest frontier that me wnne man had thrust into the Indian country, came one evening in 1771 to the cabin of Captain William Crawford. This gallant pioneer had built his log home on the pleasant Hat just opposite this placo, in the shadow of an oak-grown hill be hind, and facing to the shallow cross ing of the Youghioghcny. The geo graphical points of this early settlement still survive in the recollection of a few old citizens, but all the other traces of it have passed away. The little one roomed cabin of Crawford has rotted away; the wide-mouthed chimney which once flung out iu blue banner of civil ization above the tree-tops has crumbled to the earth; the building of bridges has taken away the natural usefulness of the crossing. Pretty much everything is changed In appearance but the water, which patters and ripples over the stones of the shallow pretty much as it bubbled and gurgled about the tall booU of IJradaock's grenadiers when they waded across here in 1755 on th,cir way to the slaughter; and tlie crossfig place is called Draddock's Ford to lus day. Captain Crawford, whose after his tory and terrible death are one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of the frontier, was a noted man. He had carried the chain for young George Washington in Virginia when they were both stout lads of eighteen. The two young men, who were both strong, vig orous and excelling in athletic sports, grew much attached to each other, and remained fast friends to the day of Crawford's death. Colonel Washing ton, even then a noted man, had visited Crawford's homo here in 1770, the year before Connell came, and he and Craw ford had cone down the Yough, Monon- gahela and Ohio rivers as far as to the mouth of the Kanawha, on the lookout for land which Washington wanted to buy. But I am keeping the young lady waiting. Council was hospitably en tertained, of course. He had a travel er's appetite, but when young Ann Crawford bent before tho fireplace to turn the venison steak, which was cooking for supper, ho noticed that the cheek the light llamed on was redder than the maple-leaf which the frost hart kissed; that her waist was round and slender and lithe like the hickory sap ling in the wind; that her hair was blacker than the bearskin ot his sail die, and her eyes as deep and tender as a fawn's. Anyhow, he was in no hurry to be gone next morning. He was looking for a good place to locate, he said, and might as well look about that neighborhood for a day, especially as Captain Crawford was a Justice of the Peace and surveyor as ,well, and could give him much valuable information. So the young Virginian staid and staid, looking at neighboring tracts of land a good deal, but at pretty Ann Crawford a good deal more. At last, with plenty of mossy log, and moonlight on the Yough, and zephyr in the trees, no doubt, young Connell asked the lovely Ann the old, old-fasluoneit question, and with the usual hesitation and the venerable blush that is worn to this day on all such delightful occasions, and yet never gets threadbare, Ann said she would. And so they were married, and, after living near the old folks for several years, moved across the river some time between 1773 and 1778, and built a cabin near the spot on which the lransallegheny House now stands, on a tract of land which was desig. tinted in Council's warrant of survey as Mud Island, which includes the site of the iiresent borouch of Connellsville. William McCormicK, who had also married a daughter of Captain Craw- ford and located here in 1770, was the first .settler in Connellsville, and his grandson, Hon. Provance McCormick, still living, is the oldest citizen of the place. Connell was a shrewd man, and saw that he had all tho requirements of a thriving town here except inhabitants. It was the bead of the boat navigation on the Yough. Here the emigrants and travelers to the west, coming over the hills by way of Bedford, camped down, built themselves tlat-tioats and made ready to continue their journey bv water. They needed accommodations and supplies, and there was profit to be made out of them, So Zachariah Connell took out a char ter and laid out the town of Councils' ville in 1703. lie made special provis ions for the accommodation of these travelers, giving a plot of ground beside the river, in the heart of the town, to be forever free for the use of the inhab itants, "and for travelers who may erect thereon temporary boat-yards, or L may from time to time occuoy the same, or any part thereof, lor making any vessels or other conveyances for the purpose of conveying their property either to or from said town." This plot of ground still lies open and common, though it is many years since the last flatboat, with its load of household goods and farming imple ments, and milch cows and children grated over the shallows of the Ydugh. The railroad has succeeded to the river as an avenue of travel, aud it has even been suggested by some that it is en titled to administer on the assets of its predecessor also, and tako possession of the old boatyard for a depot. Cor. Pittsburgh Di.Httch. Origin of the Term "Idiot." Tho Greek word Litotes signified a private person as distinguished from those holding office or sharing in the management of publio business, and the English word idiot originally had the same meaning. Bishop taylor says: "Humility is a duty in great ones as well as ukoU." Iu next mean ing was that of a rude, Ignorant boor or rustic. It now signihes one born without understanding or mind, a natural fool. Idiocy should not be con founded with lunacy or insanity, both which terms are applied to the con ditions of persons whose minds are dis eased. St Louit Globe-Democrat. LEVI ISENSTEIN. A Sad Encounter, Showing- That Een WUeat of V May lt MH. Levi Isenstein is a genial gentleman who keeps a clothing store on South Clark Street. He is a man of diversi- tied talents, and in addition to his ex tensive clothing trade he is always pleased to seo any needy persons who have any jewelry they would like to leave with him for safe keeping, in con sideration of a small amount of cash. Mr. Isenstcin is also a wit and a philosopher. The first record we have of any of his sayings is the remark he made after witnessing a performance of "Richelieu." Being a man of business he is not in the habit of squandering his money on theater tickets, but on this occasion, he had been presented with a couple of complimentary tickets by one of his customers, so ho took his son Jacob and went. On his way home he thus delivered himself: "Shaky, mv poy, ucse snow-nciors don'd know noding. Don d you pelief dem, Shaky. Ven der shentlcman in der play say der vas no such vord as fail, don he make himself foolish, und don'd you forgot it. Shust hear your fader spoke, Shaky. Der piggest vord in der language vas fail, und uer smaller der pw-shent to der greditors oer pig ger de vord. Shust don'd forgot dot, Shaky, und ven your old fader vas der ground under, und you found you can fail for ten cents on der tollar, don'd vait till ter-morrer ter do it." The next time Mr. Isenstein displayed his wisdom he was riding on the cars, with his two sons Jacob and Isaac. The conductor attempted to collect full fare for Jacob, and this brought out a remonstrance. "Dose tvins on der udder side vays shust halef, aitit it?" "Yes," responded the conductor. "Und dey vas den years old each. Ish dot so?" "I guess so. "Veil, den you took von whole fare for tventy years. Isaac, he vas free und Shaky he vas sobenteen. Dot's tventy. aint it? Veil, den I pays you ono whole fare. Py shimmy! you feller you don't sheat me nod if I don'd for got myselluf." It was not very often that Mr. Isen stein forgot himself, but once in awhile he did. One morning he found a counterfeit dollar in his pocket. Ho was completely broken up a dollar, a counterfeit dollar. He could not under stand it. "Pyshiminy," he muttered, "I vondcr if I aint got some sense at all." Then to his son: "Shaky, run quick to Mr. Mosenbaum'8 over, un puy tventy live cent segars." In five minutes Jacob returned with the cigars, and Mr. Isenstein went gayly about his work. The dollar was passed. That afternoon Mr. Isenstein was rummaging in the cash drawer, and he ran across the same dollar again. "Shaky, Shaky, come here quick!" he cried. "Don'd you got some sense! Vere'd dot tollar come from?" "Mr. Mosenbaum come der street ofor, und bought a pair of suspender braces." "Vcl, took it back und puy me twenty more segars. So hellup me Moses, purty soon I got so many segars, I ha'f to givo von avay or I make myselluf sick." . Jacob returned shortly, and said: "Mr. Mosenbaum vont took der tollar." Mr. Isenstein grasped the money, and rushed across the street. . "Py shiminy! Vy don'd you took dot tollar?" ho exclaimed. "Do you think I make myselluf a foolish. Dot tollar vas counterfeit." "Veil, you dot tollar back took. My poy Shaky took dot tollar from you. "Ish dot so? Do you tink I make myselluf a fool pecauso Shaky do. Veil, 1 don'd guess I do dot." "Py shiminy, so hellup Isaac, you took dot tollar back, or I make it so warm for you as never vas. You shust hear mo spoke." "Veil, Levi Isenstoin, shust you let mo toot a vile. You took dot tollar und put it in yon car, und go mit it to do dooce, und if you dou'd go purty quick I kick you owet of my shtore." ' Then for about five minutes the air was tilled with dust and bad English, while Isenstein and Mosenbaum rolled over on the floor and pulled each other's hair. Then Mrs. Mosenbaum came down stairs and took a hand in, and Jacob came across the street to help his father. When the smoke of battle cleared away Isenstein lay in the gutter moaning the lo.-s of his dol lar, and Mosenbaum lay under his counter bewailing the damage to his store. Isenstein has gone into a decline, brought about by his inability to get rid of the dollar. It is thought he will recover. The-Rambler. A Royal Autograph. The Governor is in receipt of the autograph signature of his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Japan. The signature bears a striking resemblance1 to the hieroglyphics of a Chinese tea box, only it is written upon the finest Bilk, gorgeously illuminated with gold upon a cardinal red background of une silk. Three truly Japan cranes are pictured, each making a flight through space to cast a glance upon the imperial signature written among the stars and shrouded in fleecy golden clouds. The card is of very durable material, and is wrapped in creamy rice paper almost as hlmy as a gossamer s web. The whole is encased in a box of spotless white wood, upon the cover of which is the engraved "signature of his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Japan, made at Tokio, July 13, 1885." The auto graph was secured by our Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordi nary at the Japanese court, John A. Bingham, and is a contribution to the Aldrich collection now in the State Li brary, where it will be on exhibition. Dei Moiucs Leader.
