The Slave Trade an It How In.
There are several clafwes of slave-dhows to
b met with, but differing mprely in siza
and wrctohodneas from the small open boat,
whose owner, in addition to a cargo of rice
or roots, ventures on speculating with three
or four slaves, to the large-decked two
masted southern dhow, with two or three
hundred in her hold below; or the still
larger fighting-dhow of the north, roofod
over with bamboo and grass, and defended
by ninety or a hundred brave aud determined
Arabs. Of the nrnt class was the first dhow I
ever saw chased. I remember how bright the
day was, for there was not a cloud aa big a
a man's hand in the sky, so the sun had
it all his own way, and right fiercely blaze J
he down on the waveless ocean, for, saving a
cat's-paw here and there, the wind had diod
away entirely. All morning we had been
steaming steadily northward, and wero noarly
on the Lino; our hopes of a chase were faint
indeed, for the ocean nil around was silent
and deserted, and destitute of life or sign of
life, with the exception of one very lazy dol
phin sunning himself on the surface of the
water. The captain was lolling over the bul
warks, and gazing listlessly at the strango
shore along which we were coasting round
sandy hills and "braes," treeless, bare, and
barren when he was startled into life by the
Krooman's voioe from the masthead: "A
sail, sir, right in below that point of land."
"Go ahead at full speed. Keep her away.
Clear away the port, Armstrong.
Two men were placed in the bow-chains, to
prevent unpleasant consequences from run-
sing on shore. We would have soon been'
withan hail of the dhow, had not fortune
seemed to favor her, for just then a light
breeze sprang np, carrying her in towards
land. By-and-by we were near enough to
lire; and first one, then another shot tore up
the water ahead of hor. But the dhow kept
on unheeding. This looked so suspicious
that the next order was: "Firo at her."
This was done, and repeated thrice, but either
the dhow had a charm, or our gunner a squint,
for one ball fell to the right, the second was
too high, and tha third a beautiful specimen
of ricochet. A well-aimed shell, however,
burst right over her, and dropped down the
dhow's sail, and by-and-by we were alongside.
I shall never forget the appearance of the
gallant captain of the wretched little craft,
lie was a perfect Yahoo of niggors; he stood
bolt upright, astern, with the tiller in his
hand, with the sun shinning on his well
oiled body, enough to have broiled his brains
if he had any. lie was blubber-lipped, pig
eyed, and pock-pitted. A young half-caste
Arab his wife crouched at his feet, timidly
clasping his knees; while his crew consisted
of one baboon and one perfectly naked boy.
From the captain to the baboon, all these
seemed paralyzed with terror. We learned,
through our interpreter, that it was fear alone
that caused them to flee from us, being con
vinced we would hang them for they didn't
know what.
Most of even the moderately well-armed
dhows will rather ilee than fight; but whether
they fight or flee, they do so to the very last.
We once got word of a dhow that intended to
creep out from the north of Zanzibar under
cover of the night. We had two boats wait
ing conveniently and gave her chase; and a
long chase it was, too, for the dhow was lite
rally riddled with our bullets and her sail
blown to ribbons before we got up with and
boarded her. There could not be a living
thing on deck, we thought; and we were
right, although no one was killed, for they
had put the dhow before the wind, lashed the
helm amidships, then gone below, and lain
there safely enough all the while. There
were sixty slaves on board.
The prize-money is paid according to the
tonnage five pound b to a ton; or according
to the number of slaves five pounds a slave.
The measurement of the vessel is often in
trusted to a petty ofhoer; and if he does err
and I don't say he doesn't he takes good care
it is on the safe side for himself and the
shij 'b company.
It is not often now-a-days that a large ves
sel, Spanish or Portuguese, falls to our lot;
but it is indeed a delicious sensation to be
bounding away over the blue Indian Ocean
after a suspected three-master. The excite
ment rises with every knot that is gained,
and culminates with the first shot that is
fired.
Of course a great deal of emulation exists
between the different vessels engaged in
slavery-hunting, and the chagrin is great
among the crew of one vessel if some rival
gets a pnze that ought to have been theirs.
Such, at least, was ours, after following a
large three-masted vessel for the space of
three months. During this time we boarded
her thrice, and at last gave her np in despair.
One week afterwards, she was taken as a law
ful prize by the saucy wee Ariel. They had
found what we failed to find slave irons,
stowed away in bags of flour and peas.
Chamber1' Journal.
A Clerical Mrarniinj.lan.
In many parts of Ireland a warming-pan
is called a "friar." Not many years ago an
unsophisticated girl took service in the town
of . Poor thing! she had never heard of
a warming-pan in her life, though she regu
larly confessed to the friar.
It bo happened that on a cool and drizzly
night a priest took l&-nngat the inn. lie had
travelled far, and bein weary, retired at an
early hour. Soon afterwards the landlady
ordered the girl to put the friar in No. 0. Not
dreaming that by the word "friar" her mis
tress meant the warming-pan, hastened to the
priest, who was comfortably settled in bed.
Up went Betty to the priest, "Your rever
ence must go into N. (.'
"How? why?" asked the priest, alarmed at
being disturbed.
"Your reverence must go into No. 0."
There was no help for it, aud the priest
arose, donned a dressing -gown, and went into
No. .
n about fifteen minutes the mistress
colled to Betty, "Put the friar into No. 4."
Betty Baid something about disturbing his
reverence which the mistress did not under
stand. Ho she told the girl iu a hh.trp voice to
do as she was directed and she wotUJ always
do right.
Up went Betty, and the nuhippy priest,
despite his angry protestation, wan ooligod
to turn out of No. 0 aid go into No. 4. iiat
a little time elapsed ere iho gul was told to
put the friar into No. H. The poor prie
thinking that every one was mid iu tha
house, and, sturdily resolved to quit it t'.io
next morning, crept into the damp bbecU of
No. 8. But he wus to enjoy no peace Iher.t.
Betty was directed to put the friar into No.
3, and with tears in her eyes she obeyed.
In about an hour the landlady conclu lod t
go to bed herself, and the friur was ordered
into her room. Wondering what it meint,
Betty roused ap the priest, and told him th it
hemustgointoNo.il. The pdtiout mouk
then crossed himself, coanted Lis bands, a-id
wentintoNo.il. It so happened that the
husband of the landlady wus troubled with
the "green-eyed monster." Going to bed,
therefore, before his wife, his suspicions were
confirmed by seeing between his own sheets
a man sound asleep.
To rouse the sleeper, and to kick him into
the street, was the work of a few moments;
nor was the mistake explained until next day,
when the priest informed the inn-keeper what
outrages had been committed upon him; and
he learned, to his astonishment, that he had
been serving the whole night as a warming
pan. Tlie I'Oiinder of iTIaMgacliiiNctt.
Mr. Talfrey, in his History of New Eng
land," gives the following account of the re
fusal of the sturdy colonists of Massachusetts
to allow tho creation of an aristocracy in
their province:
"Hutchinson has published in his history,
'Certain Proposals made by Lord Kay, Lord
Brooke, and other Persons of Quality, as
Conditions .of their removing to New En g
Lmd:' 'That the commonwealth should con
sist of two distinct ranks of mon, whoreof the
one should bo, for them and their huirs, free
holders;' 'that for the present the Right
Honorable Lord Viscount Say and Sele, tho
Lord Brooke, who had already been at great
disbursements for the public works in New
England, and such other gentlemen of ap
proved sincerity and worth as thoy, before
their personal remove, should take into their
number, should be admitted for them and
their heirs, gentlemen of the country,' etc.
"To comply with such proposals was impos
sible, and the answers, it seems, were de
ferred nearly two years. These answers are
a model for address:
" 'Tho great disbursements of these noble
personnges and worthy gentlemen we thank
fully acknowledge. But, though
that charge bad never been disbursed, tne
worth of the honorable persons named is so
well known to all, and our need of such sup
ports and guides is so sensible to ourselves,
that we do not doubt the country would
thankfully accept it as a singular favor from
God and from them, if lie should bow their
hearts to come into this wildorness and help us.
When God blesseth any branch of
any noble or generous family with a spirit
and gifts fit lor government, it would be a
taking of God's name in vain to put such a
talent tinder a bushel, and a sin against the
honor of magistracy to neglect such in our
public elections. But, if God should not de
light to furnish some of their posterity with
guts nt tor magistracy we should expose
them rather to reproach and prejudice, and
the Commonwealth with them, than exalt
them to honor, if we should call them forth,
when God doth not, to public authority.' "
Parisian Modesty.
The affair of the Carpeaux group (a group
of voluptuous dancers, placed before the
facade of the new Opera, in Paris, and which
lately excited so much opposition) is, it ap
pears, definitely settled; not, however, with
out turbulent debates. The sculptor has pro
tested to the last against the affront offered
to his work, and finally he wished to take,
himself, to the Emperor an appeal against
the decibion of the Minister of Fine "Arts.
But that good time when the sovereign's pri
vate wish prevailed against every subordi
nate decision is past; the Ministerial decree
has been maintained, and M. Carpeaux has
been offered, upon his so-called immodest
group being transported into the interior of
the Opera, the commission to execute the
work destined to replace this unfortu
nate production. M. Carpeaux, strong in
his talent and in the . support which
a large portion of the press has not failed to
afford him, would accept no compensation,
and has refused the new commission which
they offered him. The condemned work will
therefore be removed in spite of him, and, as
it was paid for in advance, it will remain at
the disposal of the authorities. M. Gnmery
is to supply the fourth group for the facade.
There is in all this much inconsis
tency and arbitrariness. At the most,
they can only justify it by the fact that the
statues of Carpeaux occupied some inches
more room than had been allowed them, but
as no great defect in the ensemble of the edi
fice had resulted from this, the circumstance
is far from legitimatizing the injury done to
a sculptor of talent by the offhand manner in
which a work which, may be, offends certain
prejudices, but which recommends itself by
its virile energy to all diletantli, has been
treated.
A California Romance.
Eighteen years ago, says the Troy Times, a
young man named Charles Corey, of Lansing
burg, left that village for the then distant
chores of California. He left behind the
friends and companions of his youthful days,
and dearer than all, one to whom he had
plighted his troth. The name of the lady
was Jane Hull. Corey arrived safely in his
new home, and at once engaged in business.
For a time he wrote regularly to his betrothed,
but suddenly suspended the correspondence,
and the supposition existed that he had found
a grave iu the Far West. After the lapse of
a lew years Mifs Hall married a man named
Goodwin in Cohoes, the union existing during
aperiod of seven years, when the husband
died. It seems, however, that Corey had not
lost sight of his early love. When her hus
band died he wrote to her again, sent her
money to relieve her necessities, and after a
time came on here and renewed his pledges
of affection. These were not rejected, the
old love still burned brightly, and once more
he returned to California. A short time since
ho wrote for his betrothed to come on, and
sent money to defray the expenses of the
trip. On Monday last Mrs. Goodwin started
for San Francisco; and if no ill-fortune at
tended her on the journey, to-day she will
reach her distant haven and be united ia
marriage to the object of her girlish affec
tions. FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFE
