From the New York Globe. 
A stubborn wight was Capting White 
And in his ways quite sot, 
And oft he took a quart of rum 
And drunk it -boilin’ hot. 
““What’ll ye have?” asks Capting White, 
Downin’ that scaldin’ brew, 
Then all of us, to be perlite, 
We says, ‘““‘The same as you.” 
Then up the deck and down the deck 
The capting he would swell, 
And holdin’ fast he’d climb the mast 
And howl and whoop and yell. 
“I’m plumb insane,” roars Capting White, 
A-turnin’ kind o’ blue, 
Then all of us agrees perlite, 
“We feels the same as you!” 
And oft when Capting White was took 
With such a merry whim 
He ust to chase the Chinese cook 
Intent to murder him. . 
“T’ll slaughter him,”’ says Capting White, 
“And then I’ll kill the crew,” 
We answers up, to be perlite, 
“We thinks the same as you.” 
And one fine day the capting he 
Got mighty full o’ grog, 
And tumbled plump into the sea— 
And him a old sea-dog! 
“T hopes to die!” yells Capting White, 
A-wavin’ at the crew, 
We answers him, to be perlite, 
“We hopes the same as you.” 
Consul Mansfield’s Big Game. 
Tue diversions of United States consuls <are, 
as we have more than once noted, varied and in- 
teresting, even if not always caléulated to bring 
the flush of pride to the cheeks of home folks. 
Last week we dwelt on the activities of some 
of our representatives in the Orient. To-day the 
scene shifts to Africa. Robert E. Mansfield, now 
consul at Valparaiso, but formerly at Zanzibar, 
has told his Indiana friends, with pardonable sat- 
isfaction, that he had the honor of shooting the 
Queen of Zanzibar one day, when practicing with 
a new shotgun in a jungle near the scene of his 
consular exertions, The Queen, with her attend- 
ants, was bathing in the bosky woods, when, 
without warning, “about thirty birdshot” peppered 
her from an unseen source. It behooves Kings 
and Queens, as well as the common herd, to stay 
indoors and barricade the windows when the 
American consul goes gunning. i 
Mr. Mansfield did not tell the Queen that to 
the represeniative of the United States she was 
indebted for this delicate attention. He asked his 
Government almost immediately for transfer to 
another. port, and was sent to Valparaiso. . Any- 
way, he had brought down the biggest game that 
he could hope for in such a circumscribed sphere 
as Zanzibar—New York. Evening Post.
