THE OLD SLAVE TRADE, AND WHO Con-
QUOTED IT.-The whole number of African
slaves imported at Charleston, from the LIST of
January, 1904, to the 3lst of December, 1907,
was 80, 775, being an average of 9,314 year.
The number of arrivals of slavers in that pc
rod was 202, of which 20 belonged to Great
Britain, 81 to Charleston, 50 to Rhode Island,
to Baltimore, 3 to France, 10 tc Norfolk, and
l each to Boston, Hartford and Sweden. Of
the slaves brought in, much the larger part
came in the British vessels. They amounted
to 1863. The three French vessels brought
1,078. OF the vessels nominally owned in
Charlestown, the greater part Of the cargoes-
and doubtless the vessels, too, in tact-belong-
ed to non-residents, so that of 1928 slaves
brought by those vessels, only 1000 are set
down as really belonging to merchants and
planters of Charleston and vicinity. Next to
the British, the Rhode Islanders had the
largest share in the business and it is notice
able fact, in this connection, that Capt. Town
send, of the SLAYER Echo is Rhode Island
man-perhaps the son or grandson of one of
these old slave traders Bristol, in Rhode
Island, imported into Charleston, during the
four years, 3 1914 slaves; Newport 2, 449; Prov
idence $50; and Warren $50; making, in the
whole, 8,23S brought in by Rhode Islanders.
Baltimore is set down for $50, Savannah for
300, Norfolk 287, Hartford $50, Boston 200,
Philadelphia 200, New Orleans 100 OF the
consignees of the vessels, 81 were British SO

While, swift as the wing of a swallow, he's out,
And his playmates have answered his call.
1t makes the heart leap to witness their joy!
Proud wealth has no treasures, trow,
Like the rapture that trobs in the pulse of the boy,
As he gathers his treasures of snow.
Then lay not the trappngs of gold on thine heirs,
While health, and the riches OF Nature are theirs.
'Itsnows!" signs the imbecie-"Ah!'' and his breath
Comes heavy, as clogged with weight
While, from the pale aspect of Nature in death,
He turns to the blaze of his CRATE;
And nearer, and nearer, his soft cushioned chair
He breads chill puff of the snow-burdened air,
Lest it wither his delicate frame.

How MAJOR VAN Dorm FELT WHEN THE
CAMANcHEs SHOT HIM,-The Port Gibson
Reveile has seen a private letter from the
above gallant officer, native Of Claiborne,
Miss. The letter was to member of his fam
lily, and referring to his recent desperate con-
fict with the Camanches, be says:
81 charged party Of lndiaNs during the
battle, which lasted about an hour, and after
shooting one of them, got shot myself-one
arrow entering my arm little above the wrist,
and lodging near the elbow; another entered
my right side, passed through the upper part
of my stomach, ranging upwards, cut the lower
part of my left lung, and came out on my left
side. When pulled the arrows from me, the
blood followed as if weary of service and i'm
patient to rob me Of life, spilling like red wine
from drunkard's tankard. 1t was sublime,
to stand thus on the brink of the dark abyss,
and the contemplation was awful. 1 was
doubtful, for some time, if | should survive.

If had died there, he would not have been

MARsHFIELD.-Daniel Webster's late resi-
dence lies about twelve miles up the coast
next to Boston from Plymouth. As all men
know, it is called Marshfield. 1t was formerly
called Thomass Farm, containing some thou
sands of acres. The mansion house is plain,
what is called gambreled building, and, in
many of its details, remains as its great master
left it. Here is his fine library, with his books
and pictures as he had them arrrnged when he
died. Here, also, is his hunting room, with
his fishing tackle and his sea-clothes, old SLOUGH
ed hat, and his sailors boots and jacket. 1t is
told how he delighted to go alone on the great
deep, and hold converse with wind and wave,
and talk with the thunders as if they were his
elder brothers. At Dartmouth College, failing
to obtain some coveted prize, he took the ordi-
nary diploma, and tore it to pieces, saying to
the students around him, ''My industry may
make me great man, but this miserable
parchment cannot" This was the text of
which his whole life was the sermon.-C Core

IPECAcUANHA AND DELIRIUM TREMENs-
The Jail physician at Chicago has had 100
cases of delirium tremens the past year, of
which only four proved fatal. OF his manner
of treatment, the doctor says
"Sleep being the suspended function, and
the one which nature and the system demand,
we use opium to produce it; but although
this medicine sometimes produces the desired
effect, in many special cases, it is often danger
Gus. Chlorotorm have tried in several cases,
administering it internally as well in large as
small doses, also by inhalations, with due eau
ton; but, in my experience, l have not found
it at all to answer my expectations. Ipecacu-
anha, which | have tried in thirty-six cases,
found most remarkably successful, quieting the
nervous system, exciting the appetite, acting
on the secretions, and uniformly producing
sleep. When case is not of too long stand
ing, give it as an emetc the first dose, and
afterwards give from fifteen to eighteen grains
every other hour. Connected with this rene
dy, use shower baths, and let the patient fire.
