BY JOBS BOYLE O'BEIULY. "Chips," whom I knew for months by 110 other name, was ship's carpenter of the whaler Gazelle, of New Bedford. He was twenty-six years old, six feet high, and strong as a tree. He was the favor­ ite of the ship--and no wonder. He was tender and gentle, perhaps because he was strong; he was peaceful, because he •Wats |>owerful. And the soft word which turneth away wrath, with the gentle hand to soothe a sufferer, are often needed in the whale fisheries. Most of the foremast hands of the Ga­ zelle were rough Portugese lads, from the Western Islands, on their first voyage. They were treated with coarse contempt by the few- American seamen and by the officers. Tlie'only "white man"--as the Yankee sailor loves to call himself--who was kind and patient with the rude lx>vs was Chips; and he was never tired of show­ ing them or teaching them something of what he knew. He was one of those unselfish fellows who did not believe in keeping knowledge to themselves. He had never been to sea before, but during the first two years of this voyage he had attended to so many things "besides his own easy work, that he was considered as one of the best and coolest whales- men aboard. Although exempt from standing watch, he had insisted on doing the dutj' from the first day out. At night, if the weather -were good, he would sit on the main hatch, in the center of a ring of the Por­ tugese lads, and with wonderful patience teach them to make splices and knots, and to speak English. He never tired of doing this or any other kindly thing for them. In the day time, if there were work for him at his trade, he still had them around hiiy, explaining everything as he sawed or planed, as if he wished to make tliem as good carpenters as he was himself. On Sunday, when everyone brought his letters and pictures on deck, Chips showed the only signs of sadness we ever saw. He was the only one on board --except myself--who had neither pic­ tures nor letters--neither face nor word to remind him of home. When the ship touched at some-port with a postoffice, and every one ran for letters, Chips remained aboard--he knew there was none for him. In one of the boys' albums he found a picture of an old, white-haired woman--the lad's mother-- and every Sunday afternoon he asked for that album, and always gave it back when he had turned and looked at that picture. The ship had been two years out when I first saw Chips. Through strange and unhappy circumstances I was afloat on the Indian Ocean, in a small boat, when this New Bedford whaler hove in sight, and ran toward me. The first man to spring out in the mizzen chains, to help me aboard, was strong-handed Chips, with tears of sympathy in his eyes. On deck the captain met me with o]>en hand and heart, and for eight months I sailed with the whalemen, and took part in the good and ill that befell them. Chips and I were friends from the in­ stant our hands struck. Shaking hands is one of the best tests of character. Some people shake your hand so politely that you feel they would care mighty little about shaking your acquaintance; some men slip their hands into yours and make you feel as if you were squeez­ ing a fish; some people's hands are so thick, and fat, and cold, that you might as ivell grasp the fingers of a leather dummy. Most people, and nice people, shake hands as a preliminary to conversa­ tion; but now and then one's hand strikes into a sympathetic palm, the fingers take full hold, the thumbs inter­ lock and close--and when that friendly grasp is over, there is not a word to be said--it spoke all friendly greeting in its own good language. Just such a kindly and grim grip did Chips give me the first time we met. When I boarded the whaler I was in a bad way for clothes; all that belonged to me in the world were the few branded rags that I laid worn in the boat. Sailors are used to such things; and they know the remedy. Every one came forward with his little offering. One brought a hat, another a jacket, another a pair of «ea l)oots, a jack-knife, a cake of t<> bacco, and so 011, until I had a bunk full of marine necessities. ('hips had least to give of all, for he had shipped without a regular outfit. But when he saw all that had been given, smiling at the rough boys as each one handed his offering, he drew me off to his i'wu cubby-hole, and hauled round his own chest. Out on his bed came the contents; and in a minute there was a fair division of all it contained--flannels, shirts, stockings and everything to a handkerchief. "These are yours, and these are mine," sniil Chips; "and I'll make you a chest to-morrow." That's the sort of a man he was in everything. No wonder the boys loved him. and that the one word spoken in the best tones of the ship was the name of the kind-hearted, many Chips. He was ns brave as he was kind. When whales were chased, Chips went down in u beat, aud there was no cooler head among them when the fragile shell was to lie laid broadside to a monster nearly :«s long as the ship. Once when the boat was stove in by a sweep of the awful flukes in the death-flurry, one of the ln>ys was crushed by the blow and driven senseless under the water. When Chips came to the surface he counted the heads and missed one, and down in the bloody brine he went among the sharks and fished up the sinking body. He was a mighty swimmer, and, with only an oar to cling to, he held the senseless man out of water from noon till sunset. But, to the story. The Gazelle had l>een cruising for three months a few hundred miles off the coast of Western Australia--the great penal colony of Eng­ land--and during that time had not fallen in with a single sperm whale. One raw afternoon, with a harsh breeze and a rising sea, at last we heard the long sing-song cry, from the mast­ head, " He blows! tlier--re--blo-o-ws!" Four times, at regular intervals of about forty seconds, the cry was repented; and then he knew it was a sperm whale. It was about 5 o'clock in the evening when the first cry was heard, and the -ion went down at 6:30, with scarcely five Ittinutes of twilight. As a rule, on board of American whalers, when whales are Been late in the evening, the boats are not sent down, unless circumstances, such as weather, moonlight, aud so on, are very favorable. In most cases the course of the whales and the speed of their travel are carefully noted. When "on a course " a school of sperm whales will move at the rate of about six miles an hour; when "feeding" they keep o» the same " ground" not moving more than a few miles a day. When seen late in the evening, the ship is steered dur­ ing the night according to the observa­ tions, and often finds the school in sight in the morning, when the boats are at once sent down. This course was not followed on the evening in question. It was not a school we saw, but a "lone whale," and one of extraordinary size. The night promised to be a rough one, and the -whale's mo­ tions were strangely irregular, as if he had lost himself in an unknown sea. There is something solemn tuid mys­ terious in the sight of "lone whales," and marvelous superstitions are current among whalemen respecting them. Though spending year after year on the great waters, whalers become more im­ pressionable to supernatural tilings than other seamen, and long observation of the shoals or schools of the vast creatures they pursue, tends to fill them with amazement and awe when they meet with a solitary leviathan who has aban­ doned all fellowship with his kiud, who lives by his own law--lonely, mighty and terrible. Soon after the cry from aloft, we saw the whale from the deck, only a short dis­ tance from the ship, aud we might have seen him long before had not his white, bush-like spout been lost in the angry whiteness that was fast spreading over the sea. For a moment all eyes were fastened on the long body, like a great, black tube, over which the waves washed. Every face was wonder-stricken at the immense size of the whale. Captain Clifford had been examining him through a glass, which he handed in turn to each of his officers. « "What do you say, Mr. Hussey?" he inquired of the first mate, who glanced at the sim and answered: "Go down, sir; we can doit." "Mr. Joseph?" aud the captain turned to the second mate, an old Portugese of extraordinary size, and perhaps the most famous wlialeniiui alive. "Go down, sir, if we want to get the fellow; we'll never see him again." The two other officers were younger men, and of the same mind. There was 110 time lost in further consultation. "Swing the boats!" shouted the "old man." The lines and irons had already been thrown iu by the crews. A "heaVe, oh!" and a straining sound, and in one min­ ute the four boats struck the water, and the men were settled on the thwarts with the long oars out. The sun was low and large and red, and the whole western sea and sky were magnificent in crimson and gold and black. The picture was one of the finest I ever saw. The rising sea was jet black, except where it was bloody; a brood road of crimson shimmered from the ship to the sun; the long body of the whale, even blacker than the sea, was plainly seen in the ruddy glare; and life was added to the immense scene by the four white specks--the wlialeboats-- closing to a point as they drew near the motionless monster. It was not until the boats had left the ship that we realized how threatening was the weather. Every moment the seas came wilder and heavier against the vessel. Only now and again, as they were lifted on a sea, could we catch sight of the brave little boats. The breeze grew stronger every minute, and before the first boat ueared the whale, was whistling through the rigging iu the wild way that tells of a coming gale. The captain regretted the lowering of the boats, and soon signaled them to return. But the men were excited, and refused to see the signal. Filled to the gunwale, the seas lashing over them every mo­ ment, on they went where only a thing so nearly perfect as a whaleboat could keep afloat. As the first boat swung round to run down to leeward of the whale, the red sun stood fairly 011 the black field of ocean. Talk about tbe bravery of soldiers in battle, or of men ashore in any enter­ prise you please; what is it to the bravery of such a deed as this? A thousand miles from land, six men in a little twenty- eiglit-foot rthell, coolly going down in a stormy sea to do battle with the mightiest created animal! It is the extreme of human coolness and courage, because it is the extreme of danger. The sol (her faces one peril--the bullet. The whale­ man, in such a ease as this, has three mighty enemies to fight--the sea, the gale and the whale. We saw the harpooner of each boat stand up as they came within heaving distance, and send in his two irons. All the boats were fast l>efore the monster seemed to feel the first blow. Then came the fight, the cruel and unnatural fight between vast power and keen skill. Tlie black water was churned whiti* as the flukes struck out in rage and agony. The sun disappeared and the gale screamed wilder in the rigging. We could 110 longer see Che IKMUS from the ship. The few men on 1>oard clewed up the light sail and took a reef iu the top­ sails, aud by this time the night was dark as pitch, and the gale had whipped aud howled itself into a hurricane. It was fearful to think of the four small boats out iu such a sea .as was then running. We 011 the ship had to cling to the rail of the rigging; the terrific strength of the waves swept the heavy vessel alxmt like a cork. I saw the cap­ tain's face a moment as he passed the binnacle lamps, and it was absolutely de­ formed with grief and terror--not for himself, brave old sailor, but for his boys in the boats. "Who's at the wheel?" he shouted; "6end a steady man to the wheel." "Ay, ay, sir!" answered in the dark a deep quiet voice; "I've got the wheel." That was Chips, and I walked aft to be near him. Just then a long hail came through the darkness, and we saw the flash of a boat's lantern on the lee quar­ ter. In a minute more a line was flung aboard, and we soon had one crew safe on deck. It was the mate's boat. "Where are the others," was the first question. "Fast to the whale," was the answer, "and there are no lanterns 011 the hoat." One of the men from the l»oat relieved Chips at the wheel, and he went forward to rig lanterns at the fore and main tops. When this was done we stood together 011 the forecastle, looking and listening fox the boats. Suddenly he turned to me and said: "We're going to lose some one to­ night. While I was at the wheel, it | seemed to me as if something whispered in my ear that we're going to lose one j man to-night." I I said he was growing as superstitious as old Kanaka Joe, and he answered: ! - "I can't help it. It did seem that I heard that whisper, and so plain was it that I nearly dropped the wheel in terror." Another shout from the sea cut off j further talk, and we soon had two more | boats at the davits. The absent' one ' was Mr. Joseph's, and we knew "that | through thick and thin he would hold I on to the whale. It was hours before ! we found him; and when we did he re- ! fused to cut liis line from the carcass. ! The captain cried to him that we could j not hold the whale in sucn a sea, but ! the whaleman «ried back: ' , 'He's a hundred-an'-fifty barreler; i and if you don't take the line aboard, | we'll stick to him in the boat!" Soon after, ns the gale was moderating, | the line was taken in, passing through a j strong iron brace screwed 011 to the star- j board rail just forward of the gangway I amidships, from which it was taken back 1 aud made fast to the windlass bits at the j foot of the mainmast.

The proof against him was pretty strong, and when the Prosecuting Attorney arose he showed exactly how the defendant lifted the chickens from the roost. He described the surroundings and the excited haste of the prisoner, until the charged man aiwo said: " Jedge, I reckon you'll let me say a few words." No objection was ex­ pressed,-HIKI the man continued : "Jest sign me down guilty." " Do you plead guilty ?" j , " I reckon I'd, jest as well. This fel- j ler is derermined that I did steal the ' chickens, an' rutlier than dispute his word, fur he seems to be a clever sort of feller, I'll let it go his way." "The question is, did'you steal the chickens ?" " No, Jedge, 1 was at prar-meetin' on that night, an' can prove it, but rutlier than make the young feller feel bad I'll let him liUve his way." " You say you were at prayer-meeting on that nignt ?" "Yes, sir." " Which night ?" " Why, on the night I stole the chickens." Ten minutes after his declaration he was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. ______ THE .Northwestern Lumberman men­ tions an experiment which miNy- have im­ portant results for lumbermen and grist- millers.

I had not taken six steps from the spot when something strange occurred. The ship steadied, as if the wind had ceased. There was no sound greater than the 1 storm; but, instead, there seemed to fall j suddenly a stillness. I ran amidships j and grasped for the line in the dark. It | was gone! A rush to the rail, and all j was clear. The strain had torn out the j brace. The mighty pull of the whale | astern had jerked the line straight, like ! the cord of a gigantic bow, aud the cap- ! tain, who had beeu standing on the rail, | was struck by the flying rope and thrown i senseless far into the sea. All this had been seen by the men in j the boat before any one on board had • realized the affair. In less than a min­ ute the cry of "Saved!" reached us from Mr. Joseph, and, in a shorter time than can be imagined by a landsman, the boat was hanging at the davits, and the injured commander was being cared for in his cabin. Rum and hard rubbing are the potent remedies on a whaler, and by dint of these the captain opened his eyes in a quartei of an hour. He had been stunned, but not seriously injured. He was amazed at first at seeing the mate and myself standing over him with the rum bottle. But without a word he realized the situation. "How is the weather?" he asked "The wind has gone down," said Mr. Joseph. "We're under foresail jib and reefed topsails, aud running right away from the whale." "Gone?" said the old man. * ' 'Gone," answered Mr. Joseph ruefully. "Stanchion dragged, and the line parted, and eight thousand dollars went without an owuer." "Tell Chips to see to that broken rail," said the captaiu, closing his eyes drowsily. "Ay, ay, sir," said the old second mate, as he stamped on deck. | I heard him stop at the after-hatcli, j where the boat-steerers and the carpenter [ lived, and call "Chips" two or three | times. At last there was an answer in | another voice--not Chips'; then a round i of hurried feet ou deck, a shout down | the forcastle; and a shout back in answer. j There wsis no Chips there. i Two minutes alter, a heavy foot came I aft to the cabin stairs, and Mr. Joseph, \ j with a white face, entered. !

"Chips is gone, sir," said the old sailor, with a tremor in his rough voice; '•Chips was knocked over l»y the line, and we've gone four knots since it parted. I've put her about, and we're running down again." There was dead silence. We all knew the search was hopeless. No man could swim in such a sea: and we had a thought, though no one spoke it, that brave Chips had l>eeu killed by the line before he touched the water. All night we beat about the place where we thought it had occurred. The wind and sea fell, and the moon came out in great beauty to help our sad search. Every man on board staid on deck tiil the sun rose, and then we looked far and vainly over the heedless swell of the sea. Chips was dead. The rough Portu­ gese lads found it hard _to beiieve that the kind heart and strong hand of their friend had gone forever. We all knew that the best man in the ship was taken away. Two years afterward, when I found myself in Boston, I took from my saered things a letter, which I had found in Chip's chest.

S A P O N I F I E R Is the "Original" Concentrated Lye and Reliable pMi' William Pitt. The brilliant life and sad death of "William Pitt, England's great Prime Minister, seem a satire upon personal ambition and popnlar gratitude. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer when but 23 years of age, and for eighteen years ruled Great Britain. The colli trast of the brilliant beginning of hifj public life with its somher ending is painful to read. Pitt died at his house, Putney Heath, and in a very neglected state, none of his family or friends being with him at the time. One who was sincerely attached to him, hearing of hU illness, rode from London to see him. Arriving at his house, he rang the bell at the entrance-gate, but no one came. Dismounting, he found his wav to the hall-door, and repeatedly rang the bell which no one answered. ' He then entered the house, wandered from room to room, till at last he discov­ ered Pitt on a bed, dead, entirely neg lected. It is supposed that such was hit poverty he had not been able to pay the wages of his servants, and that they had absconded, taking with them what thev could.--(hire a liVffc. Marrying for Money. There never was a time when heiresses were in so great a demand, or when worldly mammas smiled more approv­ ingly on the attentions of prosperous young men to their daughters. This fact has been very plainly shown at all the watering places this summer. In truth, the demand is so active and so manifest that what supply there is grows shy, and wealth is tending to ally itself with wealth, both to strengthen its posi­ tion and to eacape merely mercenary importunities. Where there is money on both sides, it is felt that matrimony is safer ; and perhaps it is. Young men who are on the hunt for heiresses do not deserve to be encouraged; and young women who put a money price on their affections may well be left among the unsold goods.
