THE ARAB SLAVERS
To this do. there is an occasional cargo of
blacks quiet y picked up on the African coast
and run up the Bed sea, while it is nosecret
that hundreds of slaves are marched scram
tho Boudoir country and openly sold on the
north coast. When eve other nationality
had been forced to quit o nefarious ti'atiic
hr'humau flesh, the Arabs took hold and for
ten years they defied the power of the alli—
ance. When I was first sent out to the east
cecal; as a midshipman on EM. 8. Rover,
every Christian nation was assisting to pre-
,VOrrt thottralfiic, but it goes .withoutf_adlspute
that England was the Only. nation outer--
leg heartily into the work. She has, done
more on sea and land to break 'up ownership
in human flesh than all the rest of the world ‘
combined. In onlyone or two instances on
our station did the Rover receive anything
like hearty support from the vessels of other
nations, and in half a score of cases the crews
of merchant vessels gave us information cal-
culated to assist our enemies.
The Arab craft were not always com-
manded by Arabs. Renegade Americans,
Frenchmen, S ds, and men of other my
tioualities were interested, and it was these
men who gave us the most trouble. They
were old hands in the business, up to all the
tricks and dodges. and they gave us many a
useless chase and played us many a sharp
game. Tire favorite slave craft was the
:lhow, of light draught, great spread of can-
vas, eaail managed, and a fast sailor in any
sort ofa mess, but various syndicates had‘
purchased brigs, schooners and small ships,
and they were flying all sorts of colors and
profeming all sorts of occupations. They
came down the east coast from Juba to So-
fala, a distance of athousand miles, measured
by the trend of the coast. For two years
England had only two slave catchers on this
long line, and it did not require much sharp-
ness to get out a contraband cargo.
The mouth of every river on that coast has
from two to five outlets, and many of them
spray out into long inlets and false channels,
traversing miles of swamp or low land, and
twenty cruisers could not have kept the coast
under strict d. Tire Rover was a fast
sailing brig, but she should have been a
steamer to carry out the programme laid
down for her. .
One day just as we were ready to sail froru
Mnsimba, after making some needed repairs,
on American merchuutman acme in with
three blacks. aboard. They had been picked
up off a raft at sea a hundred miles down the
coast. The Yankee captain brought them
aboard and turned them over with the obser-
vation: _
“I’m a—stunding neutral on this blackbird
uestion, captain. It seems wrong to drag
eso niggers off and make slaves of ’em, but
'our constitution permits slavery. I never
owned one and never shall. but we‘ve got to
have slaves or we can't have cotton and
sugar. These r devils have no doubt got
a story to to 1. Maybe it will furnish a
pointer for you and maybe it won’t. I‘m
a—standlng neutral, as I said beforo. If you
can get anything out of them go ahead.”
We had two or three interpreters aboard,
and it wasn't long before we learned that a
brig called the Lion had put in at the mouth
of the Ziuga, seventy miles down the coast,
and was leading a cargo. The three men
. had escaped from a barracoon three miles
from the coast, reached the water and built
a raft, and, although realist
lives it they drifted out "to money took it,
and had been afloat two days and two nights
when picked up. The brig had not begun to
load cargo when they escaped. Indeed, the
[eighty captives,
while she wanted two hund or over, and
it would be four or five days before her com-
plement was ready.
The brig referred to professed to be a mer-
chantman. We had overhauled and boarded
her twice without finding anything suspi-
cious, but yet we had been told several times
that she was one of the luckiest crafts in the
slave trade. Here was a golden opportunity,
and the story of the blocks was hard] com—
pleted hetero the Rover had made ' We
were in luck in carrying a fine breeze with
us for fifty miles down the coast, then we‘ 'ot
cat's pawsrmd calms, a squall ortwo a it
was evening of the second day be ore we
rounded the point and looked into the blght,
at the west side of which was the mouth of
the Zinga. This bight was seven or eight
miles long by a varying width, being shaped
like a r, with the large end toward the
sea. e still had alight brews-to work un-
der, and a boat was sent ahead to take sound-
ings, and we moved up the blght about two
miles. Then we anchored to wait for another
day.
About 11 o‘clock at’night the tide begun fo
runout, andwith itcame'a land breae, but
the latter blew itself out in half an hour, and
just as two boats had been ordered down to
take their stations where they could intercept
and board the clever if she should comefout.
She might have completed her cargo and
might not, but having run in under" our very
nose, as it were, her crew wouldbeanxious
to the blacks aboardarrdbe affair the
our moment. Asthewluddied awaytho
boats were recalled, and half an hour later a
light .fog settled dowu- on the water and cir-
cu'mscrlbedourvisionto a distance of fifty
feet. Orders were given for stri‘ silence
aboard and during the rest of the night a
mall boot might have pulledallaroundus
and heard nothing to indicate our presence.
When morning came the men were turned up
and with the least blonoise, and we wait-
ed- for the sun to rsc the fog before pip-
ing to breakfast.
In that fog we were a ghostly ship and a
ghostly crew, but after half an hour's wait-
ing the fog began to break up into queer
shaped tongues and rifts and drift away, and
all of a sudden it vanished and left us a clear
vision. A wild ell broke from every en-
listed man a , for there, hardly musket
shot away, almost stationary on the dead
tide, was the Lion, the brig we were in
search of. She had left her moor with
the wind and tide, but the former h failed
her, and the fog coming on bad obliged her
to anchor for the night. sue had been with-
in a. ruilo and a. half of us all night, and bad
lifted her anchor in the early morning to
drift; down with the last of the tide and be
ready to make her oiling with the first ofthe
land breeze. '
The yell of surprise and satisfaction from
our decks was echoed by one of astonishment
and hnto from the siavor. Orders were given
mdropourboats and board her, butatthe
same moment her yawl dropped into the
water,and captain and crew tumbled into it
toescapcus. Therewosallttledelayingot-
ting away, one of her men stopping-behind
for a moment, but when the yuwl headed up
the bight, it was at such a pace as to dis~
couragOus. Wehud twoboatsdown, brrt it
was the other one 'which pursued the yawl
while I was ordered to board the slower on
take possession. We pulled straght for her,
but before we got alongside pundomonlum
broko‘loose. The fellow who lingered behind
had knocked the fastenings of! the gratings
which covered the two hatches in her decks,-
and the blacks swarmed up and over the brig
like so many hornets. ’
Those dusky fellows wcr‘csubmisslveenough
when overawed, but as they came on deck to
find themselves in posscmion they ot rid of
their light chains, and men us from
every foot of the rail. They could not under-
standwhat had occurred, and all ships and
all crews were alike to them. Theyoseined
whatever weapons they could get id of,
put themselves under a couple of leaders who
had robubly been chiefs, and dared us to
board? I pulled back toour craft for instruc-
tions, and was ordered to take one of the in-
that'tbcre.

terprctcrs back with me and let him explain"
the situation. It was impomible for him to
do so owing to‘ the yells and shouts which
grcemd us. They could see him, and see that
he was not one of‘ us, but when he stood up
and made signs the confusion was increased.
The other heat now returned from her vain
chase, but we had as yet formed no plan when
the land breem sprung up and the blacks bo--
on to make sail on tho brig. There must
have been two or three among them who had
been aboard of a sailing craft, or they were
sharp enough to study out the rig and dis-
cover which ropes to haul on. None of them
dared go aloft, but they let fall or hoisted
away until the breece got a urehaso on‘tho;
hunts and festoons, and then t c jibe were run 2
up and trimmed down almost as well as mile ‘
ors could have done it. We sought to bear-tit “gull
her while so many of the blacks were busy, --
but there were enough deft on guard to
thwart our efforts. If we could have used
our pistols and cutlaiwes we could have been
on her docks in two minutes. but our' orders

What followed the coming of the breeze

ports. The wind come up also and gusty,
showing an atmospheric distur ‘ co inland,

thatsher wake was like a rail fence. The
blacks evidently wanted to rctum to land,
and as she moved- that way their yelling was
tremendous. After a little practice at the
wheel the helmsman kept a better course, but
the breeze gustcd up strong every few min-
;utes, and during these gusts he lost his nerve
and everything was inomfusion. However,
the brig kept advancingiup the‘bight all the
time, and. our two boats followodbehind.‘ ,
She wasziroidi tolerably fair for the mouth
of the river, we had made up our minds

Things must have been at sixes and sevens
aboard, for the whole crowd yelled in terror. '

a mile and held straight out. We had now
to pursue the foolish crowd, which we did as

hoped that the seas now getting up would die

THE 'BULL‘ TERRIER.
Ila Ia Bravo as a Lion: and Will Fm
Ally Odds. and Will Stick rm Death.
The hull ten-fer is a capital watch dog, said
a prominent dog fancier of New York. He
never barks, because hefeels that he can deal
unaided with any burglar and in nine cases
out of ten in. is right. It is all tooth with
him, and a robber rarely knows that he is
present until he feels him. But in this lineof
business he is not a favorito with refined peo-
ple. You see, there {are no bounds to the fe-
rocityof a bull terrier when he is once arous-
ed, and the lifeless body of a robber is an
unpleasant thing for the servants to find on a
kitchen floor when they get u in the morn-
ing. I once sold a good terrier to the
widow of a clergyman.
She lived in a lonely house in Westchester
county, and before she had owned the dog a
week a burglar climbed through the base-
ment window. He saw the terrier in the
dining room and man to clamber up on
.' the high mantelpiooe. t was a bitterly cold
night in mid-winter and he clung there
shivering for several hours, while the dog
hungrily licked his jaws underneath. The
lady kept no servant, and when she entered
the room in the morning she was at first ter-
ribly frightened, but the fellow told her such
a pitiful story of his sufferings that she was
moved to courpamion. She gave him 82 and
a goodJnenkfast and allowed him' to go
away. Then she sent the dog back to me, ad-
visingme to shoot him, as such a savage, re-
morscless brute was clearly unfit to live.
Bull terriers and the widows of clergyman
have'no common, ground upon which they
can amicably meet. -
I doubt, too, whether bull terriers, faithful,
brave, strong and watchful as they are, have
very much intelligence. Certainly they have
not us much asthescoteh or theoid fashioned
Skye; I mean the bigisllky haired Skye, from
which the delicaio ttle thing. like a minia-
ture portrait of his ancestors, has been bred
for a lady‘s lap dog. A prominent lawyer of
New Haven bought a fine bull terrier from
me about a year can On the second night
after the dog had in his pomession the
gentleman was a guest at a supper party and
did not reach home until the small hours of
the morning. The terrier met him at the
gate of his orchard, and drove him up an ap-
ple bee, where he held him a prisoner until
‘ the family arose at breakfast time.
The d had only seen him half a dozen
times, on he did not recognize him. This-is
a danger with all bull terriers when used as
watch dogs. They reason slowly, and when
they once reacha conclusion, whether it is .
wrong or right, they cling to ltas tenaciously
asthough it was an opponent‘s throat or a
prowling trump’s leg; and, liken. gun with
an imperfect brooch, they are apt to injure
their owners iniau excess of zeal. Nothing
will boguilc them to forget their duty while
life la’sts,but their sense of smell is very
weak, and a bit of poisoned meat thrown
over the fence is footer-ably sure to clear the
seams for the burglars when they arrive,
reMy for bushes, at night.-—New York Sun.

Gold Extraction Today.
Gold mining is in 111$me still associ-
ated with a ‘fianuel , long booted,
gamblin clam of doubtful manners, who,
whims: shovel and pan, found fortunes in
the streamsofthofarwestoroftholand
of the kangaroo. But this race of miners is
rapidly becoming as extinct as tho rodskin of
California or the black boy of Australia. As
the superficial deposits which attracted the .
pioneers were exhaustod, the “do! machin-
ery and science became (resentful, and a new

modern methods, would pay handsomely. -'
To convey an idea of the perfection. which
has been attained in some of the procemesof
today one illustration will suffice. During a
were (throe months) working lost ear of ,
alluvial deposits or Dayiesford, v toriaH.‘
v51 were treated and ‘
gave an average ' of 18% ains troyof
gold from each ton of gravel. t is to say,
of all this enormous mum of material dug up,
pascd through the apparatus and redeposltod,
only one-eighteen hundred and fourteenth

useless. In other words, an pose an acre 0

which left a reasonable margin of profit.
These results are altogc ,cr' unparalleled
in any other kind of metal mining. As a
rule, the metal or its ore forms the bulk of
the mass treated. Thus, iron often consti-

cent, copper 78 to 08 per cent, and silver
to 00 per cent, while the gold in the case
quoted only amounted to .000118, or a little
over one-ten thousandth part of l per cent.—

The introduction of bells into western Eu-
rope ls usually set down‘at about A. D. 550.
However, one Clemmetti, abbot, or, as some
say, bishop of Wuine, is tlronght to have
used one in hismonastory as early as 400
A. D. History records the fact that Beno
dict, abbot of Wearmouth, had one which
be obtained in Imxéommd on a campanile
nearhischurchin . They hadbeeninuse
in France more than 100 years at the time
of Benedict‘s enterprising venture. Pups
Sabiniaus, who ruled from the our 604 to
the year 60!, A. D. first estubislied rules
concerning the rin of bells. His ordi-
nance declamd that thoy should be rung
ev’ory;hour, awamlng to the people to be
ready fOr the hours of worship. Germany
was almost 600yoars behind France in the
matter of bells, there being nonoin that
country prior to the beginning of the Elev-
enth century. The first hell put up in Eng-
land was that at Croyiand Abbey, Lincoln-
shir'e, in the year 9-5. ~
For years after the introduction of bells
intothc Britishlsies onlyhand bellsof rude
construction were used. St. Patrick’s bell,
the Clog-arreadbaohta Phatraio, or “thebell
of Patrick‘s will,” is still preserved among
other relics of untold value at Belfast, Ireland.
It is hand made, of co almostsix inches
in height and exactly five hes broad and
four deep. In the your 1001 a case madoof

Billiards.
- King Louis XIV was a grrnt lover of bil-
liards, and his magnificent nobles in their
grand per-u use, his marshals and generals,
matched th skill against their royal mas-
ter's about some elaborately inlaid billiard
table in the royal salons of Versailles. One
Chantillard is recorded to have gained a higi.
office of state from his skillet billiards, which
the king delighted to witnem. . .
When the French urine was introduced
into-England, at will gtimo the regencyin
trance , . light something like peace and
good w between the two nations, it soon
superseded the old fashioned game. It was
played, according to contemporary accounts,
“only with masts and balls, ' the mast being
the massc, or mace, an instrument still to be
'mot with in billiard rooms.
With the mace the ball is pushed and not
struck, and English players adhered to the
mace long after it had been superseded on
the continent by the cue; And the mace was
considered the lad 's weapon even up to re-
cout times. The Trench amo was played
with two white balls, and 319 pla consisted

He calls out the name on the topmost letter;
a shrill voice on the confines of the crowd in-
timates its destination, when half a dozen
hands are stretched out to receive it and it
is primed over the heads of the crowd to the
fortunate recipient. ,
The bush is renewed after each announce-
ment; the postmaster has constantly to repeat
his demand for silence, in which he is of
course joined by such of the crowd as hairs

proceeds the crowd gets naturally noisier,

The great feature Of the exhibition of plate
and jewels at the palace Schivuraenberg, in
Vienna, is the contribution of the Duke of
Cumberland, who has sent a; large portion of
the celebrated “silver treasure" of the house
of Hanover, which includes the entire fur-
niture of a saloon in solid silver—chairs,
tables, cabinets and mirror frames. There is,
Miles, the dinner service which belonged to
the bishops of Hildesheim, and also on im-
mense silver arbor, with hanging flowers and
bunches of are all of silver. This was
manufactured a Augsburg in 1103. There is
a huge cloth of solid silver and a number of
Vases and tankards and the table. ornaments

family plate is said to weigh twelve tons al-
together, and his hereditary jewels are valued ,
at £300,000, besides those which were he-

these suspicions were accentuated ilr consc-

of thesuspected men were seized, solemnly

This descends when snow is loose and has
