Shrimpton-on-Sea; or, Won by a Weed. I liV GORDKN STABLES, M. P., n. N. ' SHIUMPTON-ON-SKA lies just at the foot of the Medway, and not a huudred miles from i the buoy at the Nore itselt. Shrirnpton-on i Sea, by the ollicers of the garrison and those i of the flagship, is unanimously admitted to Ibe the dullest place iv existence—it is even I said that the capital town of Kamtchatka jiu mid-winter is a little heaven to it. The I aborigines, who are up to their eyes iv busi ness all the summer, flaying Jack and skin ning Joey, as soon the cold weather comes m I devote their little lives to mild dissipation, in the shape of amateur conceits, where , native taleut shines out strongly, and is duly ' appreciated, apparently upon the scratch-my back-and-l'll-scratch-yours principal, thus : the violoncello vehemently applauds the solos of the first fiddle, and the first riddle claps his hauds and encores the performances of the violoncello, while both together make a loyful uoise when the last notes of the I piccolo die away in the Hall of Harmony. Then in the spring time again, when the | conceit season has psssed away, the people I all take the ague and shake; the shaking ! helps to pass away the time. In summer, I the officers, out of the kindness of their hearts, give croquet parties and claiet cups in the afternoons, and the natives show how well they appreciate these by not only com ing themselves but by bringing all their little gills and boys to devour the buscuits buns and such. And in autumn the flag ship comes out strong, and gives dancing parties in the Ball-called by the Shrimp tonians " hops "—with any amount of ihr ! tations and fizz. The officers who attend these " hops " are next morning remarkable chiefly for ferrety eyes, fat heads, and a muddiness of aspect, attributed to marsh miasmata, and attempted to be dispelled by J uuHSiially large doses of Henessy and Schnanps, partaken of before the sun glints over the loieyard. The only other .source of amusement in Shrimpton-on-Sea may be summed up in two words—oysters and stout. At the time my yarn begins to leave the reel, the old " Pembroke " was flagship at J interesting station, and with the exception of two presently to be mentioned, and whose spirits nothing could lower, the officers were the dullest of the dull. Poor devils, |1 their pulses never beat above sixty, and that, too, with a most provoking regularity of rhythm. So humdrum, indeed, was their existence, that their hearts used to beat "hum—drum, hum—drum" all day loug. The slightest excitement whatever was hailed by them as a godsend. Thus, they ' rejoiced one morning when the ship took fire in the cock-pit, and although there was a trifle over thirty tons of gunpowder in the hold, they felt positive disappointment be cause the fire waa qufinched so soon. And once upon a midnight dreary, when the j startling cry arose that the ship had broken from her moorings, they sprang from theii beds and actually rubbed their hands with J glee. But the " Pembroke " merely floated quietly up the river and was grounded on a mud bank. This.it was generally agreed, was most disgusting conduct of the old ~ tub. She ought to have gone the other way, and taken them out to sea. This would have been glorious fun, because there were no sails bent; and, although steam might have been got up, there was no screw, that useful propeller having dropped off years before, without ever saying by your leave to anyone. So, on this occasion, the officers had to be content with taking a fiendish pleasure in firing big guns and burning blue li"hts, and bringing the whole of Shrimpton down to the beach with their nightshirts On days when wind and tide prevented shore-going, these jolly dogs smoked, played cards, and soda-ed and braudied it on board all day ; or lav looking out of the ports and laughing—as the devil might laugh—to see their own boats smuggling in vain to prevent being blown out to sea, or merchant ships dragging their anchors and drifting on shore. Now, the admiral whose flag floated over this ancient tub lived on shore snugly enough ; but on specially tine days he would sometime come oft, and he seldom failed to briuq friends with him and often a bevy oi ladies. And these last would be accomo dated witu chairs—shade of Nelson I and on the quarter-deck too ! Bnt don't the deal creature*, bless their hearts, turn every thing tapsalteerie wherever they go ? Why, 1 once knew the case of-the wife of a captain of a flagship abroad taking the command from him for a time entirely. She happened to live with her daughters on board, and one day she ordered her lord—l was going to say master, but I can't -down below, then in one hour's time a clothes line was drawn across the quarterdeck, and therefore might have been seen dangling, in defiance of all discipline, ladies' linen, and babies' linen, ,md many little oddmen and endment, thai [ could not even give a name to. One particularly bright and beautiful day, the admiral came off quite surrounded with a galaxy of female loveliness ; very much to the delight of two officers at least—namely, the young surgeon and the lieutenant oi marines. These two were bosom friends, mJ held each other's secrets in common. • The marine, Lieut. Beardsworth, was a3 gay md dash ins a soldier as ever you could wish to behold. Well did he look in his clothes of "old and scarlet, and well, perhaps, he knew it. i The two cronies generally had a farewel coat together every evening, after the others had retired. Well, on the evening of this particular day this young soldier seemed unusually quiet. " What's up, Sammy ?" said the surgeon. " Is it your dbbts again that are troubling you. boy ?" "No not this time," said the soldier smiling or trying to smile ; " it's in love I am, downright deep, too. Did you see that fairy wee thiu<» with the blue eyes, that sat near the capstan ?" "Yes Sammy," said the surgeon, " I saw you bending over her chair, I even saw you squeeze her hand. But you shouldn't have looked so insinuating, Sammy." Sammy lighted a cigar, smoked and eyed the beams abore for some little time, in a kind of delightful reverie. " And what's more," said the surgeon, " I saw her aged and hirsute papa twigging both both your looks and hers." " Oh." cried the lieutenant, with what might be termed the ferocity of eagerness, " he's an old buffer—a downright old buffer, doctor. He's as rich as royalty, and and as cross and sour as old Nick. But that dar ling is his only chick and child. Look here, my friend, this is how the land lies ; I'm in debt a thou. or two ; old Milikins has s daughter, and old Milikins has money, ana1 I mean to marry old Milikins' daughter, and pay off my debts with old Milikins' money. " Bravo !" said the doctor, " It looks as simple as six penn'orth of copper. But how is it to be done?" But Beardsworth heard him not ; his handsome face was turned once more towards the beams above ; they were beams of hope. And his eyes spoke volumes ; volumes also issued from his mouth—volumes of smoke. Mow, it had been remarked of Beards worth, by all who knew him, that if he had any pretext at all for stopping on board of a Sunday, he generally did so. But from the very day he first met with Milikins and his daughter he turned out a constant church attender. It was remarked by everybody, too, that instead of going straight down to his boat after service, he used t« loiter at the gate of the churchyard until. Milikins came out, and, of course, his daughter. And, in spite of all that Milikins could do in the way of grunting and snubbing him, this daring young soldier used to walk side by side all the way to Milikins' door with tlie pair oi them. And, if dear blue eyes ever could tell tales, Miss Milikins was far from objectino to her adorer's company. ° Thus things went on for a month or two and it was noticed that the postman often brought Beardswar|h pretty little notes written in a pr^ty female hand, which seemed to greatly exhilarate Beardsworth • and which, having read himself, he invari ably pushed across the table to the vouna doctor. s _ But during a fortnight in which old Mili kins was laid up with a cold, Beardswortli's wooing seemed to have made wonderful progress, for at the cud of that ti.mo he told his friend the surgeon— " She loves me 1" And his eyes sparkled as he spoke, M^ovos me, and me only, though ojd Miljkins wants to marry her to somo stockbroking son of. a sea cook, old enough to be fathor. And to-morrow I mean to meet old Milikins face to face, to beard the beggar in his den, and if he won't con sent to our union, I'll run away with. feer. 1 hat's the only alternative." Beardsworth's mission to Milikhis was not a success, so Beardsiworth. meditated extreme measures against Milikins. With the fol lowing result One bright moonlit night a gig might have been seen pulling rapidly away from the admiral's pier, and putting out to sea. In, the stem sat the surgeon, and besides fcim were Beardsworth and his intended bride— the latter all aquiver with fear and joy. On the same evening, snd not an. hour afterwards, might have "been seen another boat, rowing rapidly away from the same pier and being steered in the self same djrec, (ion. " Now, pull, men, pull" croaked an old man in the stern sheets, "pull as if for life; it's a twenty pound note to each of you if my daughter really is in the other , Joat, and we to overtake her. Pnll I Bay



The chase |soon exciting, but It was soon evident to everyone tbat the pur" suing boat was fast gaming on the other" and would eventually overtake it. ' The only one iv the boat who was rcallv I cool and collected was the doctor. H e jj.S not, like his friend, deemed pursuit impro bablu, and so he Lad come pieparcd for aii emergency. " Now, look here, Beardsvvorih," he saw' "from this moment 1 shall take char»e of this boat, and if you do exactly wh;it °I hi 1 you, all will be right. Pick up and" un f o 5 that little parcel at yoar feet." a Beardsworth did bo. A midshipman', jacket and cap and vest. " Now," continued the doctor, "I' m Bn . Miss Milikins won't object to become a nX of a middy for once iv a way." And with her long hair hidden in the jacket, the cari cocked jauntily 6n the back of her head little touch of burht cork on the upper W Miss Milikins's disguise was complete. No, not complete, iorthe moonlight mad? it as bright as day. She must smoke. Good heavens : Though cigars were pl etl tiful, there was but one solitary match i" the boat. Would it light ? The men lav on their oara, the officers held their breath But fortune favoured them. The ci«ar »« lighted, and several more, and when Beards worth's bonnie bride smilingly took her weed and began to smoke, she looked the express picture of the provokiugest little mite of a middy ever you saw iv your life. At the time of my story the Fenians were threatening Shrimpton-on-Sea, and the shin ping all around it, with quite a conglomcra tioa of devilry, to prevent which armed guard-boats rowed round the coast evert night; and this fact the doctor determined to make the most of. The advancing boat was new hailed, challenged, and finally or dered to come alongside. '•' We are the Fenian guard-boat," said the doctor to old Milikins, "and cur order* are imperative. Your motions are snsni cious : we, therefore, make you prisoner Two oi our men must accompany you to the dockyard." The ruse was completely successful. Old Milikin's splutterings were all in vain. JCq daughter of hi? could be seen on board and fromthemiddy's mouth rose smoke in cloud* Two men were put on board the suspicious craft, then the other boat with its precious freight held on its cc-une rejoicing and never drew oar until safe in Margate Beardsworth married Milikin's daughter' and Milikin's money paid Beardsworth's debts ; for the best of the fun i 3 this • Milikins couldn't live without his daughter and so forgave both her and her daring hua< band. Tills is a true tale; Mrs Beardsworth herself lives to confirm it. And she ia one of those dear, sensible creatures who never object to smoking, for sure enough, wasn't she Won by a Weed ?—" Cope's Touacca Plant." A SINGULAR CHARGE. A rather singular charge of malicious woundinghas been brought beforethemaois. trate at Leeds, against an acrobat named Holtum. Herr Holtum's specialty was the catching a bail fired from a cannon, and as the genuineness of the feat was doubted he offered $250 to aDy one who could do the trick. This offer was accepted by three men. One was a man named Fenton. Hot being a professional base ball catcher, he allowed the ball to strike him on the head with such force that he had to be carried to the hospital, where he lies at the point of death. 'J he other competitors for the. §250 were anxious, iv spite of the accident to their predecessor, to "seek the bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth ;" but the audience showed such signs of disapproval that Heir Holtum refused to allow them to run the risk. In consequence of Fenton's injuries Herr Holtum now finds himselt ia the hands of the law. He will probably be convicted. The whole trick consists in aim ing the cannon at the right place, the ball being projected by a spring, which is freed at the same moment that some loose powder is flashed in the gun ; the smoke and noise delude the spectators as to the speed at which the ball travels, and, if the'cannon is pointed directly at the hands which are protected by thick leather gloves, the trick is a compara tively easy one. It is alleged that Heir Holtum, in order to save his §250, delibera tely aimed at the young man's head, for which piece of practical jocularity he is likely, should Fenton die, to be severely punished, INTERVIEWING AN ACTRESS. From the " Bo3ton Post." Maybe the reporter didn't know how to interview an actresj, and maybe that'B why he had 80 much trouble. Having sent up his card and been admitted to her presence, he stated his business, and she Baid, languidly. "l"m sorry you've come; I don't fancy you news paper men, and hate being intarviewed."Mayi>a he Knew this wan just said for effect, and that she wouldn't miss the interview for a heap, bat he replied, " Oh, well, then, I won't trouble yon. Sorry I intruded, Good day," However, she got to tho door first and sa'-d, "Ob, nowyou're here, I'll oblige you-" And he answered. "Oh. no;I wouldn't trouble you for the world.* " But it wont be ver.r much trouble;" "Well, never mind; I don't care particularly about it." " But—but—in—faot—it will be a pleasure. I only object because reporters always ask the same questions, and then dont print juat what yousay." "Well, I'll try and do better, than that." and they seated themselves. Then he aeked: "How did you celebrate your 31th birth day V "Kh?"—jumping uc—" what d'ye mean sir ? You're a mean wretch to ask such a ques tion."
