THE SLAVE SHIP ERIE.

The slave ship Erie. which arrived at New
York on the 81, was captured by the U. S.
Steamer Mohican, about so miles of from
the river Congo. The Erie's officers supposed
the Mohican to be an English man-Ofwar,
and hoped, by hoistinc the American flag,
to evade examination.
When the Mohican drew near, the Erie at
FIRST refused to show any colors. A blank
cartridge being fred from the Mohican, the
American ensign was run up on the Erie,
and she hove to.
Lieutenant DGnaiGgt0n, who went on
board, could find no one who would allow
that lie was in any command. " Who has
charge Of the ship?' said the naval man,
becoming 4 little excited. No one enlight-
enine him, he at once ordered the flag to
be hauled down INV boys, give three
cheers" cried Lieut.. DunningtOn, leaning
over the ships side, and addressing his boats
crew; g for We have a genuine prize, and
no mistake" Cheers from the man-of wars
men was the response. No sooner were these
heard than all the matches Of the Erie flew
oreu, and her crew, who had been keeping
the darkies quiet below, rushed on deck, and
exclaimed in regular chorus; ITS all up
with US, boys" Mr.. Dunnington peeped
into the lower apartments, and beheld a
whole mass o. woolly heads. Every black
eye IN the ship was bent on the unexpected
intruders, who tool, hasty survey of the
ship and PROCEEDED 70 regulate matters gen.
orally. Extra men from the Mohican were
then sent for and put on board. and the
returning boats took back to the steamer
the crew Of the Erie. Three persons, suppos-
ed to be the captain end m ates, were brought
home for trial. The slaves were sent to Monro-
via, whcro they were kindly received by Rev.
John Seys, who distributed them amongst
the Inhabitants of Monrovia, who promised
to treat them kindly. They were perfectly
naked when taken, and were delighted with
the disposition made of them. They clapped
hands, sung, shouted, and raised q jolly
time generally.
The Erie was built at Warren, R. l., in
September, 1910, and was owned for time
by Mr. Ralph Post of New York. She is
regular " cotton ship " in appearance. Her
fitting up was most artistic: she had slave cof-
f.rs, u sufficient quantity ofwater and vinegar
in casks, placed fore and aft, to last 900 peo-
pie for 60 days, and an exceedingly large
quantity of rice, pork, beef, farina, bread,
and peanuts, of which a good portion was
given to Mr.. Seys at Monroyia.
The Erie had 897 slaves on board, when
captured, 90 of whom died during the IA
days run to M0nrovia. She was only II
hours from the slave wharf when the Mohi-
can seized her No other craft was ever
captured on the African station with so many
egroes.

THE IDEA OF WEALTH

It's said that JONI JACOB AsroR, who
never was worth half as much as his son
now is, advised man who had made a
good start in life, not 10 try to be 1CealttH
adding: "It's only a yexation; a man
who has four or FIVE hundred thousand
dollars, is as well off as if he were rich
The millionaire was right, or if he erred,
it was in the height Of his estimate. We
can use a little money for our personal
needs-not much; and as to the rest, we
can give away little-not a great deal,
if we give it wisely. After that, the re-
mainder is burdeD--a sheer load, which
wears a man out in the care Oft. Suppose
the case Of a man worth between forty and
fifty millions of dollars. and there are not
few such in the world He would re-
ceive on this property, if 1t were made
productive, a round income Of five per
cent, or s2,250,000 per anuum. Now,
we h ave no clearer idea of two millions Of
dollars than we have Of forty millions. 1t
is a great deal Of money; we must reduce
it again, to make it manageable.
We will suppose that the income Of the
reader is e2,400 per annum,which is much
above the average. If he receives it re-
gularly at the end Of his days work, It
will be six dollars and sixty-seyen cents
per diem-a sufficient sum, on which a
large family maybe supported and children
educated. with something to spare for the
poor. The difference between this amply
provided person and Mr.. AsToR, Is, that
the latter receives something more than
$4,000 every day.
If the six dollar man thinks he works
any harder than he Of the six thousand,
he is much mistaken ifhe thinks that the
other enjoys more substantial comfort, he
is equally in error
We should have a great deal Of consid-
Grafton and sympathy for rich men. TheiI
roses have thorns, and are finer to look at
than to have in the hand. The owner q
the shining parterre is, after all, not q;
well off as the careless passer-by, who Gu
JOYS all its beauties without one Of its re
sponsibilities.
Wealth belongs to some men, Just as III
tellect belongs to Others. They would be
rich anywhere, just as their enyious neigh
bors would be poor anywhere. At an a
grarian meeting in this city about twenty
| years ago, gentleman of property OBJ
tanned hearing, and forcibly argued this
point. Addressing sailor near him, whC
had been prominent in the proceedings, h'
asked :-''What would you have me d'
with my money!" Divide it equally
among us all, replied Jack. "That woull
give us about $40 each, and tomorrow
should have $3.50 ofmine left, while your
would be gone. What then 2" "Shive
my timbers!" exclaimed the sailor, II
