A PECULIAR CUSTOM.

A Hnmhrifloro nnilortTroiiioto Tinny
on his way to the cape in a trading
vcsaei, genua me ionowmg lmeresc
ing communication to the Pall Mall
Gazette: One of the oldest customs of
the sea lately came under my notice,
and in such a way as I am not likely
to forget. As usual, after our 6
o'clock tea. kp wpn KAofprl in tlift
saloon enjoying our game at cribbage,
mien a Diasc irom uie iog-uorn, nc
to awaken the dead, put an end to
our cards. Hurriedly we made for
the deck, where a sight ne'er to bo
forgotten met our eyes. The even
ing was dark and cloudy, the moon
entirely hidden, but the deck was
brilliantly illuminated with blue
lights. From the forecastle was is
suing a procession that baffles de
scription. First walked Father Nep
tune himself, leaning on his arm his
young and beautiful wife, Amphitrite.
Neptune was dressed in long, white
flowing robes that is, a nightshirt;
arOUIld lli.q llnrl fiVArl liia trrav
locks, blowing before the wind in
every direction; his beard reached
below his Wflist: Oil his Itoari hn vni-a
a miter of such tremendous size as to
drive anv bishop wild with envy; in
ins nana ne uore uis trident. His
wife's dress was evidently on the
olan of "beantv unailornoil ." fnr
some red paint, a" small red flag, and
luit vii icu ii.lLiuug-uiilY eia LUHSU-
tuted her costume. Her flaxen hair
in curly masses reached her knees.
Following this august couple walked
the hero of the evening the barber.
Dressed all in white, wearing a hat
the shape of a dice-box, half white,
half black, with curly white hair and
whiskers, he was sublime; but the
Bublime changed to the awful when
one perceived that he carried in his
hands instruments of torture rivaling
in their latent cruelty even those of
the Inquisition. Imagine standing
and gazing upon a bucket of flour
and water mixed to about the thick
ness of liquid glue, of which you
know you will receive a large share
on your head. Recover, if you can,
from that sight, and look again. In
his other hand ho holds a razor of
audi magnitude that it would not be
ill amiss for felling trees, and think
that soon that edge of rough, rusty
iron will be plowing its meandering
course over your innocent jaws.
Following the torturer came two
policemen armed with cudgels and
dark lanterns. Behind them crowd
ed the crew. In spite of the awful
solemnity of the scene, one could not
but admire the dark, cloudy sky, the
sea a blaze of phosphorescence, the
flickering summer lightning, the
grouping of the actors. Halting be
fore the after deck, Neptune, in a
loud voice, with such calm disregard
as to where he put his H's as would
make any classical author turn in
his grave, gave utterance: "Earing
that some of the crew of this ship is
such as they 'ave not yet crossed the
loine, and bin baptoized, my sons, I
ham 'ere to see them done so." Ev
idently Neptune's intercourse with
the British sailors has been to the
disadvantage of his eloquence. The
sailors, at the finish of Neptune's
speech, cheered loudly, while from
their midst stepped the two brawny
policemen, one of whom was a nigge'r
Irom Demerarar, and seized upon T.
Meanwhile the torturer was not idle.
He had soated himself upon a low
stool, with his bucket before him, in
his left hand a brush like a house
maid's broom, while with his right
he was sharpening his razor on the
companion-ladder railings. Alas for
poor T. He stood smiling before his
executioner, who, evidently thinking
the occasion far too solemn to smile
at, put an end to his innocent merri
ment by inserting as much as he
possibly could of his mixture into his
mouth. "While he was engaged in
choking and spitting out what he
could of the concoction, his head was
being covered to such an extent as
to rend, r his features quite indistin
guishable. Then that awful razor
came into use, its broad, rusty edge
scraping away the dough like a plow
in a clay soil. But how difficult it is
to take the dough out of one's eyes
and mouth with a razor-blade three
feet long, one cannot imagine till one
has tried I His Satanic majesty, I
mean the barber, having scraped off"
as much as pleased his fancy, the
two policemen came to the fore
again, armed with hnrkpfs of mid
water, which, utterly regardless of
what part of the victim's bodv re
ceived the water, they threw in quick
succession over him.
I was the next victim, and went
through the same terrible routine,
but at laBt it was all over, and I
issued from the cold-water cure quite
ready to see the fun in treating the
others to their dose. It was a novel
experience, and one not likely to be
forgotten. Then followed the others
who had not crossed the line, some
half dozen of them, but two were
missing. The police were soon after
them, but it was an hour before the
first was found, lying underneath the
boilers in about the temperature of
the place I had wished the barber in
when I was being shaved. All this
he endured rather than face his shav
ing, or, I should say, shaving his
face. He was quickly dragged upon
the scene, and paid the penalty of
hfc fear by receiving a double dose.
Soon after this the other, a boy, was
found concealed in a sail in the rig
KPBi Jltt 2 got" what he deser"
for trying to escape justice. Alter
all were baptized, we had some songs
and dances, the barber being espe
cially good in the latter and giving
us some excellent clog-dances and
break-downs. Poor Neptune had
terrible trouble with his wife, who,
suddenly discovering herself among
a lot of sailors, became "skittish"
naturally, what woman would not?
The songs and dancing finished, grog
handed all round, and with three
cheers for us from the crew, we re
tired to our cabins to put on drv
clothes and to tear out handfuls of
hair in endeavoring to rid our heads
of dough. And. so we crossed the
line.
A Xertk Carolina Coon Story.
It wasn't many Saturdays ago
that a number of gentlemen stand
ing on the streets at Greensboro dis
cussed fox hunting, bird hunting,
and kindred sports. Each one had
told a story, remarkable in a high
degree, when the climax was reached
by one of the gentlemen, who told
the following story;
"Coons! "said" he, with a sneer.
"You don't know anything about
coons in this country. Why you
ought to go to southwest Georgia.
Hived there once, and my favorite
pastime was coon hunting. Early
one morning I started out with my
dogs for a hunt. The morning was
damp and heavy, and we hadn't
gone far before the dogs struck a
trail, and away they went. How
beautiful it was ! Through the under
brush they rushed, crashing, bark
ing, the sounds coming to us like
low music on the morning air. It
wasn't many minutes beforo the
long howl of the leading dog told us
that he had treed.
"We put out after them, going
through the swamps and down into
a canebrake. There we came upon
the dogs all clustered about a cypress
log. They smelled it, and then all
started back as if they didn't know
what was to pay. We drew near
and endeavored to urge them on.
But they wouldn't urge. We went
up to the log, and it seemed to be
moving. I didn't know what to
make of it. The sides of it rose and
fell as regular as the beat of a clock.
We finally cut into it, and there it
was packed with coons. We killed
140, and I don't know how many
got away."
" What made the log move? " in
nocently asked a bystander.
'Oh, plain as day. The coons
were packed so close that every
time they breathed the log would ex
pand." There was a ghastly silence, and
the crowd moved away.
" It wasn't a good day for coons,
either!" he yelled after them, and
putting a fresh chew of tobacco in
his mouth he walked rapidly in the
direction of the " cotton bourse" on
Wall Street, and in a moment more
was buying the fleecy staple with a
serene and unmoved countenance.
Greensboro Herald.
In tke Hospital.
They were walking through the
hospital and came to the stand be
fore the cot of a young man who had
lost one eye, six teeth, had half his
scalp torn off, both legs broken and
three ribs fractured.
" Poor fellow, I suppose you were
run over by a freight train?" said a
sympathetic old lady.
"Or was attacked by a panther?"
suggested a spinister of uncertain
age.
"Or fell into a mace rat or?"
oueried another.
" "No, ladies," replied the sufferer.
" I wasn't in any of those things. I
was in a cane rush at Yale College."
The Judge.
In order to prove that an author
he hated was unknown to fame, a
certain Monsieur X kept asking on
every occasion :
"Look here, have vou ever heard
of that man? "
"Take care," said the lady, in
answer to the much-repeated ques
tion, " you will end by making him
famous."
