ORIGIN OF SLAVERY.

Mr. Bancroft, in bis first volume of hn.. his.
tory of the United States, gives an account of
tho carly traffic of the Eur0pesns In slaves.-
In the middle ages. tho VeneslAns purchased
white men and Christians, and others, and sold
lhem.to the Saracens 10 Sicily and Spain
In England. the Anglo o-Ssxon nobility sold their
servants as slaves to foreigners The Portu-
guese first imported negro slavos from West
ern Africa into Europe. Ia l442. Spain soon
engaged in the traffic. and negro slaves abound
cd In some places of that kingdom. After
America was discovered, the Indians of His
PAMELA ware imported into Spain and made
slave. The Spaniards visited the coast Of
North America, and kidnapped thousands Of
the Indians. whom they transported into sldvs.
| ry In Europe and the West Indies. Columbus
himself ensaved 500 native AmxIicans, sud
sent them into Spain, that they might be pub
cly sold at Seville. The practice OF selling
North American Indians into foreign bondage,
continued for nearly two centuries. Negro
slavery was first introduced into America BY
Spanish shareholders. who emigrated with their
negroes. A royal edict of Spain authorized
negro slavery in America in 1903. King Fer
dnand himself cent from Seville fifty slaves to
labor in the mines. In 1911. tho direct traffic
in slaves between Africa and Hispaniola was
enjoined by royal ordinance. Las Cassas,
who saw the Indians vanish away like dew be-
| Iore inc crueitlcs OF inc opanihTos, suggeeteO
that the negroes, who alone could endure Sc
we're tolls might be further employed. This
was in 1913 The mistaken benevolence of
Las Cassas, extended the slave trade, which
had been established.
| Sir John Hawkins was the first Englishman
that engaged in the slave trade. In 1885,. .he
| transported large cargo Of Africans to His.
PAMELA. In 1867 another expedition was pre-
pared, and Queen Elizabeth protected and shar-
ed in the traffic. Hawkins, in one Of his OK
peditons, set fire to an African city, and out of
5000 inhabitants captured $50. Jas. Smith
of Boston, and Thos. Keyser, first brought up
on the colopics the guilt of participating in tho
slave trade. In 1916, they imported cargo
of negroes.
| Throughout Massachusetts. the cry of JUS
tice was raised against them as malefactors and
murderers; the guilty mon were committed
for the offence, and the representatives of the
people ordered the negroes to DO restored to
their native country, at the public Charge
At the latter period. there were both Indian
and negro slaves in Massachusetts In 1920 a
Dutch ship entered James River, and landed
twenty negroes for sale. This is the epoch of
the introduction ofSlavery in Virgins. For
many years the Dutch were principally con-
ccrned in the slave trado in the market OF
Virginia.

Charles CatrOI, OF OHTUIIVoIi'
August 2, 1891 Mobile Register.

A Lady had occasion to write to one OF her
amateurs, and used paper which was very
highly porfumed. A few evenings afterwards
he called to see her and spoke of having ro-
ceived tho biiieidour and Of its boing 80 sweet
ly scented. "Ah! yes," says she, "you ought
to smell my drawers" The young man, OF
course, blushed. Discovering her mistake she
attempted to roc,ify IL: "Oh!' says she 81
meant my bureau drawers"
Another young Lady recently remarked that
she "would rather be attenuated to the last dc.
gree of emaciation than to bo one ota more
copulent.'

saturday evening, Aug. IL, 1855, David
Dalton and Mrs. Mary King, of this city, went
before the Town Register, declared their In.
tentions of marriage. and were by him, as Jus
tice of the Peace, duly and LOCALLY married.
Sunday, Aug. IL, tho Very Rev. Hughes. pas
tor of the Catholic Church, informed Mr.. and
Mrs. Dalton, that they were no better than
the beasts of the field, were living q life Of
prostitution, but that he would marry them all
right for $40. and they must pay that or he
would Danish them from Hartford, and that
wherever they went he would have chem ban
ished, unless they paid him the 80. The
man Dalton, being poor, laboring man, had
not SlO to spare, but told Father Hughes he
would (rather than have treuble) pay him @6
or even s6, but that he could pay no more
Rev. Hughes said. No, not cent less than
SlO,' and then took from Dalton the marriage
certificate he had; and although urged and
requested to return il, refused, and turned Mrs.
Dalton out of the house said they should not

marriage certificate. Hughes eaid, i will

the subject of the election of an United
States Senator, which is regarded by
many as the most magnificent buncomb
speech Of the session. The convention
was astounded and taken all aback. The
utter inconsistency of the arguments
made use of-the change of position oc-
cupied by the Hon. gentlemen, and the
z al with which he indirectly urged the
election of man to that high and res
ponsible position, have been objects OF
peculiar interest to many since the time
of the offering of the resolution. Having
been elected as al independent candidate,
we of course accord to Col Watkins the
privilege of supporting for T. S. Senator,

right to adjourn the convention if he

g4y~ We have received a copy of a
bill introduced into the Assembly by
Mr. Ryland, which is intended to pro-
vide cheaper and better mode of dis
posing Of estrays, than the method now
in use. 1t provides that estrays shall
only be taken up by a person at his own
residence, or in his Enclosures and shall
not be driven in from the plains or noun
ta'Ls. When an estray is taken up a
description must be published for two
weeks, and if not claimed within twenty
days, justice Of the peace must be no.
tilted who shall appoint two appraisers,
to value the animal and report under
oath, which report must be entered on an
estray book kept by the justice. Ten days
thereafte, if no claimant appears, copy
of the entry is to be transmitted to the
county recorder. If the property is not
C aimed, and does not exceed S25 in val
ue, the taker up, at the expiration of
six months becomes absolute owner, but
if It's value exceeds that sum it cannot be
sold until the expiration of year The
bill contains other provisions, and is
doubtless an improvement on present
regulations concerning estrays.
