and that his popularity is positive and rapidly in-

That's precisely 10 accordance with the informa.

ORIGIN OF SLAVERY.

Mr. Bancroft in the first volume of
his History ofthe United States. gives
an account of the early traffic Of the
Europeans in slaves. In the middle
ages, the Venitians purchased white men
and Christians and others, and sold them
to the Saraeens in Sicily and Spain. In
England the Anglo-Saxon nobility sold
their servants as slaves to foreigners
The Portuguese first imported negro
slaves from Western Africa into Europe
in 1442. Spain soon engaged In the
traffic, and negro slaves abouned in some
places of that kingdom After Alnerica
was discovered, the Indians Of Hispan.
lola were imported into Spain and made
slaves. The Spaniards visited the coast
of N North America, and kidnapped thou-
sands of the Indians, whom they trans
ported into slavery in Europe and the
West Indies Columbus himself, en-
slayed 500 native Americans, and sent
them into Spain, that they might be
publicly sold at Seville. The practice
of selling North American Indians into
foreign bondage, continued for nearly
two GESTURES. Negro slavery was first
introduced into America by Spanish
shareholders, who emigrated with their
negroes. A royal cdict Of Spain author
lied negro slavery in America, In 1903.
King Ferdinand himself sent from Sc
vile City slaves to labor in the mines'
In 1911, the direct traffic in slaves be.
tween Africa and Hispaniol was enjein-
ed by royal. ordinance Las Casas
who saw the Indians vanish away Like
dew before the cruelties of the Spaniardss
suggested that the negroes. who alone
could endure severe tolls, might be fur
I her employed. This was in 1918. The
mistaken benevolence of Las Casas ex-
tended the slave trade which had been
accomplished.
Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng
lishman that engaged in the slave trade.
In 1862 he transported large cargo Of
Africans to Hispaniol. In 1857 an
~.
other expedition was prepared. and
Queen Elizabeth protected and shared
in the traffic. Hawkins, in.one of hisex-
peditions, set FIRE to an African city, and
TOUT of 5000 inhabitants succeeded IN
sciziug 26o. James Smith, of Boston'
and Thomas Keyser, first brought upon
colonies the guilt of participating insthe
slave trade In 1915 they imported .
cargo of negroes. Throughout Massachu-
setts the cry of justice was raised againss
them as malefactors and murderers;
the guilty men were committed for the
offence; and the representatives of the
people ordered the negroes to be restored
to their native country at the public ez=
pense At the latter period there were
both Indian and negro slaves in Massa
chusetts. In 1920, Dutch ship enter
| ed James river, and landed twenty me-
groes for SALE This was the epoch of
the introduction of slavery in Virginia.
For many years, the Dutch were princi-
pally concerned in the slave trade in the
market of Virginia

"sAY YEoU GOT ANY NAILS I'

A tall, gawky looking countryman,
during the height of the business season
last fall, walked into one Of the largest
Wholesale dry goods houses on Broad
way, and entirely disregarding the invi-
tation of the numerous statesmen to in
spect the latest patterns; he strode into
the counting-room where the heads of
the establishment we're sitting in solemn
conversation. After taking a cursory
glance of the room, and surveying atten-
lively the faces of its occupants, he ask
ed with an unctious Yankee nasal twang:
"Say yeou-got any nails ?"
Nails, sir, nails !" repeated the most
dignifed Dombey of the firm. No,
sir, what should we do with nails ?'
WAL, dunno-thought may be
yeou mought Haint you got nails, eh ?'
No sir,n replied Dombey again, with
an emphasis, motioning to the door.
The individual in search Of nails; took
his time about it, and then left the count
ing-room. In turn he asked every clerk
the same question, and received the in
formation from all, that &c nailsn formed
no part of the stock of the establishment.
Waal," said he, going toward the
door, " don't keeps nails here, no how ?''
The principal salesman, whose dignity
was hurt by the idea that any one should
suppose that an establishment where he
had prominent place, should keep nails,
headed the countryman off as he was
proceeding toward the entrance, asked
him abruptly what he wanted.
WANT" said the countryman, as cool
as cucumber, "I want to know of
you've got a,iy ',,a-f-ksP
Nails NO SIR! You have been
told again and again that we've got no
nails--so you'd better 60"
Aint got no nails, eh? Wal, then,

staircase in the widest state of alarm.
What is the matter with the clock p
Goodness only knows replied the old
man its been in the family this hundred
years and never did I know 10 to carry
on in this way before
Whizz bang! bang! went the clock
again.
It'll burst ITSELF cried the old lady,
shedding food of tears, sand there wont
be anything left of it.
Its bewitched,' said the deacon, who
retained leaven of good old New Eng
land superstition in his nature. ANY
how said he, after pause, I'll see what
has got into it
% DON'T cried his daughter, affection
ately seizing one of his coat tails, while
his faithful wife -clung to the other.
Don't, yelled both the women together
Let go my raiment ? shouted the old
deacon. I amt afeared of the powers of
darkness
But the women would not let him GO
So the deacon slipped out of his coat,
and while, through the sudden cessation
of resistance, they fell heavily to the
floor, he darted forward, and put his
hand upon the door of the clock case.
But no human power could open it.
Joe was holding it inside with death
grasp. The old deacon began to be
dreadfully frightened He gave one
more tug. An unearthly yell as of a
fend in distress, burst from the inside,
and then the clock case pitched head
foremost at the deacon, fell headlong on
the floor, smashed its face, and wrecked
its fair proportions. The current of air
extinguished the lamp-the deacon, the
old lady and Sally fed up stairs, and Joe
Mayweed extracted himself from the
clock, affecting his escape in the same
way in which he had entered
The next day all Appleton was alive
with the story of how Deacon Barberry's
clock had been bewitched, and though
many believed his version, some, and es-
peeially Joe Mayweed, effected to dis
credit the whole affair, limiting that the
deacon had been trying the experiment
of tasting frozen cider, and that the va
carries on the cloek.case existedSin dis.
tempered imagination.
However, the interdict being taken off
Joe was allowed to resume his courtire
and won the contest of the old people tc
his union with Sally, by repairing the
old clock, till it went as we'll as ever.
