A character that committed suicide in a later work of this work's author was described in this work as having "the melancholy air and intellectual abstraction of a Hamlet". The title character, once seen "a-talking to a jaybird", enjoys listening to a song about "the Arethusa, Seventy-four" sung by the sailor "Man-o'-War Jack".  A "noted wag" named "Boston" arranges a satire of a church service in this work, but that is stopped when [?] Stumpy declares himself godfather and christens the title character "Thomas". This story ends when a flood kills both Kentuck and the title character, who'd been nursed by a donkey. For 10 points, identify this story in which Cherokee Sal dies while giving birth to the title character, a work of Bret Harte.
