From, the Democratic PreSs.
There are a number of interesting
facts relative to early American History
scattered through Holmes Annals.
The editor of the Democratic Press
has read the work for the purpose of Sc.
lscting such matter as may interest the
American people. He submits the result
NO.
Robertson and Anderson concur in
stating that in The year 1906 come slips
of the sugar cane were brought from
the Canary Islands and planted in His
PAMELA, st. Domingo,) where they
were found to thrive SO we'll as soen to
become an object of commerce.
Robertson says that few Negro
slaves were sent to America in the year
1908. In 1903 Negroes were imported
into St. Domingo by the Spaniards
from the Portuguese settlements on the
Guinea coast. The reason assigned
was, that the natives were too feeble to
work in the fields and in the mines. Ii
is clear that in modern times, slaveryis
the offspring of cupidity. Charles v.
of Spain, granted to Flemish favorite
an exclusive privilege of importing into
America four thousand negroes. The
Fleming sold the privilege for $4,000
ducats, to some Genoese merchants,
who first brought into regular form
the commerce for slaves between Afri-
ca and America. A commerce which is
now happily atan end. tits an honor
able fact in the history Of the United
States. that twas the first government,
which prohibited the importation of
slaves.
The first charter for scolony granted
by the crown of England was granted
by Queen Elizabeth in 1917 to, Sir
Humphrey Gilbert. By this charter
he was authorized to discover and take
possession of ali remote and barbarous.

The first English colony ever plant

Virginia, in 1855. One hundred and
seven persons were left, there by Sir
Richard Grenville, underline govern

On the 18th August, 1897, Mrs Dare

THE TATLER's MIRROR


WOMAN. -
Ofall the ladies of.the day,
There's nune more busy or more gay
Than strollng Mrs 'rattle;
From house to house you see her roam,
Leaving her children and her home,
That she may sit and Prattle.
With countensnees apparent sweet,
She all your family viii greet,
Aud so prepares the way;
PRAY neighbor: have you heard the news,
How Mr. did his wife abuse,
And then goes on to say
That she has heard another tale,
In truth, she hopes that it may fail,
But in her heart she lies;
And this she does with SO much grace,
That long before she leaves the place
You're taken by surprise.
You wonder at the dreadfultale,
And With the wretch begin to rail,
Not thinking what you say;
She marks your words With eager eye,
AS from your lips you let themtfly,
And says she cannot stay.
Straight TO YOUR neighbor now she goes,
And prattles over all she knows,
And often adds lie;
She wishes now her name concealed,
And begit may not be revealed,
And then begins to sigh.
Your neighbor now, as weak as you,
Believes the wretched tale Is true, s
Which pierces like adart;
And, as, she, walks upon the floor,
He often thinks the matter DER,
But with an aching heart.
Your friendship now at onceis gone,
Not thinking how the thing was done,
You both prepare for battle;
But when you come to view it well,
You soon perceive It come from hell
BY means of Mrs. Tattle.
The tawny savage fthc wood,
Whose hands are stained with human blood,
Disiains SO base part;
Yet some professors oftbe day,
InSpite of all that you can say,
Dehg hit in this black art.
Like lions roaring for their prey,
They prowl about both night and day,
Your characters to stain;
And being on your rum hent, Gea
They have no peace, bat discomfort
Until they see you slain.
The wretch thatmurders, you despise,
And hang him upibefore your eyes,
IN justice for the same;
And win YOU let the hend gofree,
Who more than takes your life away
In that of your good name
But such professors often say
How they dehgtto sing and pray
Andtaik of things above;
Their sins they say are all forgiven,
And, they are IN the way to heayso,
With hearts replete with love.
In truth these stand ON ruins brink,
And Oftheir danger little think,
SO that they are not grieved;
How wretched must those people be,
Andthat through all eternity
Who live and die deceived.
