II. Renodlot, a v, niter hi a Main
Blrt'ct restaurant, says the Lot Augolcs
Times, only reached this city a short
timo ago. Ho has just eeoapod from
a life of slavery, that is according to
his story, a hundred times more sovoro
in every respect than were tho old
slavery days before the war.
"Almost six years ago,"Mr. Benedict
relates, "when I was a waiter in a San
Franoisoo restaurant, I walked down
to the water front and was watching
tho ships discharge, when a stranger
approached and asked me to take a
walk. After having a little conversa
tion with mo ho learned that I wished
to leave tho oity, aud ho told mo that
lie was tricniily with a nurauor of pco
ttle in Honolulu, and that he was oon
tident that I could got work as soon as
I reashed tho islands. I met him the
next day acd he Informed mo that he
had secured thirteen others who would
go and ho introduced me to several of
tbem. Wo all thought it a good ohanoo
to get out of California for a while,
especially as our passages wero to bo
paid, ana wo sailed on a schooner un
der a. Captain Myers. When wo roaoh.
the islands wo did not go into port, but
stopped outside.
A steam launch was noon alongside
and a man, who represented himself to
bo a doctor, oamo aboard. He and the
captain wero closeted tor quite a while,
when tno iloclir came ait and gavo
each one of us a medical examination.
The captain and doctor then loft tho
ship and a few hours later wo weighed
anchor and for two days wo wero sail
ing in and out among islands. Finally
we woro landed at a Urge sucar plan
tation and given to understand that we
wero to work in tho field. Wo learn
ed the next day that the plantation
was owned by two men wbo wero con
sidered the hardest taskmasters on tho
islands. We were told that wo had
been employed through tho captain,
and that wo wero to get $50 a month.
We hesitated about going to work at
first, bat the foreman talked very nico
to us, and after wo had worked a month
we went to the foreman' office to draw
our pay. Iloro we were horrified to
learn that wo had been sold to tho
sugar planters as slaves for so muoh a
bead ; that it would take us just three
years to buy our freedom, it we worked
every day. We wero credited with
25 cents a day when wo worked, and
when wo were too sick to work they
charged us seventy-five cents a day for
board. J. hoy paid so much tor us, and
we had to work our freedom out at tha
rate of 25 cents a day, and under tho
laws of tho island we agreed to this
contract the first day wo worked as
going to work with our own free will
signifies that we were willing to work
for the planters tor our passage to the
islands. Well, wo made a hard kick
against snob .treatment, but there was
no help tor it, as the plantation was
guarded by a company of native
soldiers who were only too willing to
hoot a white slave who attempted to
escape.
"When we refused to work wo were
placed in stooks and whipped until the
blood streamed oil our backs. When
a man wanted to lay off because of
siokness a plantation doctor wai called
in and, and it the doctor said he was
not sick the fallow was either whipped
or killed. I havo known them to take
a man out and shoot him beoause be'
could not work. A man was taken
violently sick one day but the dootor
said he was all right, and the overseer
made him go to the field. He struggled
along until about noon, when be drop

hours a day and no set of men were

I had been there three years I thought

fiweet oidert Yes sir. Here you
are.
A New York tourist was spending
day in a primitive New Jersey hamlet
aud inquired at the village inn for
c'ass of that famous Jersey beverago,
That's good. Just made, wasn't it?"
"Lerame seo. John, when was tbiB
oider raadt-1 '
John replied from the low3r end of
tha room that it was made a little over
two years ago.
"tiuoas you're right, John," returne
tne innkeeper, '-lou ought to know,
as you put it up yourself."
"How did you tnnuago to keep
sweet to long!"
"Easy enough; I put into a barrel
full of sweet cider a quart of milk
about a half a pint of mustard seed
the black seed and six eggu. Mix
them all up together and pour them in
tho barrel. Cider will keep sweet
that way for a lmlf a dozen years,
think it gets better and sweeter the
longer you kerp it. I have another
kUd of cidor you may want to taste.1
The tourist did want to taste it, and
tho Innkeeper Ached out from a gloomy
and cob-webby depths of a Bub-couulor
clonet, a quart bottle which bore such
marks of ago as would havo made the
mouth of an epicurean wine bibber

a lino spray filled tho air with mist and

the sprinkling fluid. The tourist need
eU no urging.
"Why, that doesn't taste liko cider,
neither is it champagne, exactly,
iVhat do you call ui'
'Cider'
"How did you make ill"
"I bottled it throe days ago. It was
fresh, sweet, strained cider then. I
put in each bottle a couple of raiaius
nod a small lump of rock candy, and
if you can find any .champagoo that

ANT1BOTR TO T1MIC.
Tha beau box owos a debt of un-
pcakable gratltudo to a Boston chemist
for tho discovery of a method whereby
tho femalo charms may be ibdcfihitcly
preservoJ. Henceforth, remarks a cor
respondent of tho St. Louis Globe
Democrat, tho dear orcaturcs will suf
fer no annoyanco from wrinkles or
baldnosp, such affections being ontiroly
dono away with by the invention afore
said. Tho agent employed to conceal
or, 1 should rather say, prevent
these ravages of time, is simply tho oil
of sheep's wool. It Is obtained by
tecplng tho clippings of tho animal in
hot alcohol. Tho "wool fat" being
precipitated,-appears in the shape of a
uoauiuui yenow grease, which turns
bl&ek.iti'tirritf but never gets rancid.
Its effect '"when applied to tho cutlolo
is a most peculiar one, its substance
being at enco absorbed through tho
pores, and in this manner it acts di
rectly as a nutrient of the fatty tissues
undorneath. Rubbed upon the skin of
an infant, it produces an artificial
plumpness, and a wrinkled surfaco to
which it is applied soon becomes as
smooth as a young girl's oheek. A
certain elderly gentleman of my ac
quaintance, who still ofloots some of
the virtues of youth, bought an ounoe
of tho stuff a few weeks ago, and by
using it conscientiously, has almost
obliteiatcd tho crow s feet which bad
formed a network about bis temples.
Tho wool fat also prevents baldness,
by supplying to the hair an.cloment to
ita prowih the lack of whioh causes it
to wither and fall out. Liko most
new disooveries this marvel In the
rapeutics is exceedingly anoifnt. It
was known two thousand five hundred
years ago to tho urccks and ltomans
under the namo of "Oesipus,' and was
used by them to render supple the
oints of competitors in athletic games.
fhy samo chemical substance, Btrange
to say, is found in the sbapo of a fatty
secretion ot the human bile. It is ob
tained also, from peas, beans and other
vegetables. Physicians use it as a
baso in tho compounding of ointments,
the medicinal ingredients of which are
convoyed by its agenoy through tho
skin.
Since its virtues wero known in her
day, why should we not suppose that
Helon of Troy, who at forty when
sho was carried off by Paris was the
most beautiful woman of har time, em
ployed somo preparation of wool-fat to
obliterate the marks of age. Who
knows if tho rounded oharms- of Cleo
patra were' not preserved by some such
unpoetlo means.
A Powerful Remedy.
In the village of O , in Central
New York, lives a eharp-tongued old
bachelor whom I havo known for
twenty five years as "Undo John."
Uncle John is something nt. a charac
ter aboit town, and not destitute of
Yankee wit and shrewdness. Ho used
to make and vend in an' amateurish
way a certain oough 'mixture, the
merits of which he preached to his
friends with great enthusiasm, war
ranting the remedy to cure' any cold
in twanty-foilr hdurs"or no pay." Oho
of his old friends, whom we will call
Ike, being afflicted with a severe
coughing oold, Uncle John used bis
pest ettorts- in argument, persuasion
and Boallv vehement ana profane
scolding, to get him to try the remedy.
But ike could not be induced to
"chance it)" Not long after this Uncle
John oaugbt a bard oold himself,
which waa accompanied by a most dis
tressing cough that shttok his poor old
trame unmercifully, ft did not, how
ever, prevent his coming down-town
and "settin',"' as he called it, in Ikfe's
market. The cold hung on for a week
or moie, and the cough bad grown ho
better, finally ono day Iki resolved
to brave Uncle John's sharp tonglie
and tease bim a little about his failure
to rid himself of the oold, and the fol
lowing dialogue ensued. You aro io
understand that uncle Johns replies
were interrupted with violent cough

Oolumbus and Vespuool-
Thero is also muoh to be said abo.ut
the different way in which tho letters
of Vespucci and Clumbus would afftot
the literary taste ot the age. As
nave said, tno tetters ot uoiumbus are
infinitely more attractive to tho read
erof to day, The devoutly religious
spirit of tho writer, his mingling ol
practical shrewdness with child-like
credulity, his artless relations of the
dreams and visions which induced him
