FRUITS OF THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY ON
LONG IsLAED-The following, says the New
York DAY Book, which we clip from the Long
Island Farmer, is a truthful description of the
intolerable nuisance it represents. Nearly all
these negroes were slaves, and they are just
what and no worse than negro slaves every
where would be, if, like those wretches of Long
Island, they were set free and left to themselves:
aWe, for long time have refrained from
noticing an intolerable nuisance existing in our
village, in hopes that The proper authorities
would adopt some measures whereby the evil
might be abated, by finding no action taken by
them, we appeal to the villagers generally to
urge our worthy trustees to enact some law
whereby our village may be freed from the
greatest curse, in moral point of view, that can
be inflicted upon us-we refer to the congrega.

The PAMPERo.-We learn from the San An.
gustine (Florida) correspondence Of the Savan.
nah Republican, that the taking Of testimony in
the case Of the Pampero commenced ut that
place on the 10th instant We extract the fol-
lowing:
The first witness examined was John King, n
native Of Ireland, one Of the men attached 10 the
expedition, who departed from New Orleans on
the Pampero, and arrived with said vessel at
Cuba; but being taken sick on the voyage, and
thereby disabled, he did not land, but returned
with the Pampero TO Jacksonville. In the latter
town, King lay some weeks at the point Of
death. He srri' ed in very destitute condition,
though his wants were supplied by the charity
of the ladies' Of Jacksonville. His testimony
before the court was very full, and IL is thought
hone ample TO prove the violation Of the laws.
lie described the passage Of the stesmer, her ar.
rival at Cuba, and Identification Of the vessel in
question as the ono engaged in the expedition.
To-day, Col. ii. T. Titus, also Of the expedi.
ton, was called. His evidence as TO the rein.
forcement from Jacksonville, and the departure
and subsequent disarmament Of the Pampero
party in this region, is full and conclusive. J.
G. Henning and Capt Thompson, Of Jackson
vile, occupied the latter part Of to-day in giving
evidence, which was brief, but TO the same point.
The court adjourned over to Monday, when tes-
timony will be resumed. Il is understood that
the argument viii be postponed until another
sitting Of the court
Major B. A. Putnam, Of this place, and Nc
Queen Mcintosh, esq, are the present counsels
for Mr.. Sigur; G. NJ. Call, esq, U. s. district
attorney.
Some fifteen witnesses are subpenaed-
zens Of Jacksonville, persons attached to the
Cuban expedition, apd others. A commission
has been forwarded TO New York to take the
deposition OF Lieut.. Van Vechten, although the
testimony Of King renders it almost superloous.

The Discoveries of the Last
Half Century,.

There has been no period since the COM
mencement of the world in which so
many important discoveries, tending TO
the benefit of mankind, were made as in
the last half century. Some of the most
wonderful results of human intellect have
been witnessed in the last fifty years.
Some oflhe grandest conceptions Of ge-
MUS have been perfected. 1t is remark
able how the mind Of the world has run
INTO scientific Investigations, and what
achievements it has effected in that short
period. Before the year 1900, there was
not sing lie steamboat in existence, and
the application of steam to machinery
was unknown. Fulton launched the first
steamboat in 1907 Now there are three
thousand steamboats, traversing ihe waters
OF America and the time saved in travel is
equal TO seventy per cent,
The rivers of every country in the
world nearly, are lraversed by steamboats,.
In the United States alone there are now
S,797 miles ofrailroad, costing $3.50, 1000
600 10 build. and about $4,000 miles OF
railroad in England and America. The
locomotive will now travel in as many
hours distance which IN $500 required
as many days to accomplish. In 1900 il
took weeks to convey intelligence between
Philadelphia and New Orleans, now it can
be accomplished in minutes through the
electric telegraph which only had lis be-
ginning in 1913. Voltaism was discov>
cred il March, 1900 The electro mag
net in 1921. Electro,yping was dlscov-
cred only few years ago. Hoes prin>
ting press, capable of printing 10000
copies an hour is very recent discovery
but Of most important character. Gas
light was unknown in 1900, now every city
and town of any pretences are lighted
with it, and we have the announcement of
still greater discovery by which light,
heat and motive power may be oil pro,
duced from water with scarcely any cost
Daguerre communicated 10 the world his
beautiful invention in 1889 Gun Gotten
and chloroform are discoveries but of few
years old. Astronomy has added a num-
Ter of new planets to the solar system.
Agricultural chemistry has enlarged the
domain CT knowledge in that important
branch of scientific research, and mechan-
les have increased the facilities for pro-
duction, and the means of accomplishing
an amount of labor which far ,ranscends
the ability Of united manual effort TO a c
complish. The lriumphs achieved in this
las; branch of discovery and invention are
enough to mark the list half century as
that which has most contributed to aug
ment personal comforts, enlarge the en-
Joyments, and add 10 the blessings ofman.
What will the next half century accom-
plish We may look for still greater
discoveries, for the intellect of man is
awake, exploring every mine of knowledge
and searching for useful information in
every department of art and industry

Oh ! family falling snow.

When stars begin to glow.

She secs no more its sudden wave,
Nor hears lis foaming flow.
Chill every song-bird's music,
Oh, silent, sullen snow!

The Phantom Ship.
BY HENRY W. LoSGFELLow.

In Mather's Magnolia Christi,
OF the old colonial time,
May be found in prose the legend
That is here set down in rhyme.
4 ship sailed from New Haven,
And the keen and frosty airs,
That filed her sails ut parting.
Were heavy with good mems prayers.
40 Lord if it be thy pleasure"
Thus prayed the old divine,
To bury our friends in the ocean,
Take them, for they are thine -
But Master Lamberton muttcred
And under his breath said he
This ship is 50 crank and wolty,
fear our grave she will be-"
And the ships that came from England,
When the winter months were gone.
Brought no tidings of this vessel
Nor of Master Lamberton.
This put the people to praying
That the Lord would let them hear
What in his greater wisdom
He had done with friends SO dear.
And at last their prayers were answered;
1t was in the month Of June,
An hour before the sunset,
Of windy afternoon
When steadily steering landward,
A ship was seen below,
And they knew it was Lamberton, Master,
Who had sailed so long ago.
On she came with cloud of canvas,
Right against the wind that blew,
Until the eve could distinguish
The faces of the crew.
Then fell her straining topmasts,
Hanging tangled in the shrouds,
And her sails were loosened and lifted,
And blown away like clouds.
anu inc masts with all their rigging,
rel slowly one BY one,
ana the hulk dilated and vanished,
AS sea mist in the sun!
And the people who saw this marvel
Each said unto his friend,
This was the mould of their vessel
And thus her tragic end.
And the pastor of the village
Gave thanks to God in prayer,
That to quiet their troubled spirit.
He had sent this Ship of Air.
