Painting White Girl 10 Make her Q
.-- Slave. ad
One day last week, a gentlemau Of this
city hailed an up.country boat. the Cora
Andersen. as she was passing Greenviile,
Miss, whittier he had gone on business,
to return home. Shortly after being un-
der way our Natchez friend observed
pensivo looking little girl, aged about Q
or 10 years, whose black hair and yellow
ish brown skin would indicate that she
was a mulattress. There was something
about her that Interested him, and he in.
auired ofthe captain concerning her. He
was informed that she was slave belong-
ing 10 a man on board, whom the captain
pointed out, who said be was taking her
10 New Orleans to sell her, he having
bough, her for Sleo in Northwestern Mis-
sour on the borders. Our Natchez friend
eyed The little girl and the border man SO
closely as to attract the attention OF tho
latter, with whom he was soon engaged
in conversation concerning the child inter.
rogating him in such a manner as TO elicit
answers not always agreeing with previ-
Gus statements, and evidently alarming
him. This was suspicious. s,
The little girl was taken aside and ex.
amined. She said she was an orphan, and
had been taken from an asylum in New
York by this man; that her hair was light
and her complexion brunette; that THE
man told her he was going TO the South
with her, where, as his adopted child, she
would have a good home; that black hair
was preferred in the South, and prettier
than hers; and that he had taken her 10
barber and had her hair dyed black
lie also told her that il she would allow
him 10 put some yellow dye on her skin,
that her complexion would become much
whittier in few days, and that he had put
the stain on. On hearing these statements
the girl was taken charge Of BY the cap
tain, and potash, soap and water being
applied, the dyes we're taken off and the
light hair and light complexion brought
to light. The pretended master was seized
by the excited passengers, who were about
to deal with him summarily, but it was
. finally arranged 10 lock him up in state
room until The boat should land. In the
meantime the boat had passed St. Joseph,
and when few miles below that town
rounded to take on wood AT this point,
how or in what manner is not known,
the border ruffian escaped from the boat.
leaving his baggage behind. The giri
was taken by the captain Of the boat 10
New Orleans, and placed in one OF the
orphan asylums in that city.

Dread Of Servile Insurreetion in South

Tho Charleston correspondent of tho
Now York Times, while admitting that the
Secessionists proper are determined TO carry
out their projects TO tho end, says that tho
people are growing frightened. He writes
There is lingering apprehension OF an.
archy which startles men in the homo OF
their families, surrounded by hundreds Of
pegroes, in whose minds they know not
what is going on. Though little 10 con-

lily is now experiencing tho darkest forebo-
ding. If the plan for armng ths State is
carried out, a very small share of the adult
male population will be left at home. Who
is TO guard the women and children en- the
plantations 1t is scarcely possible that
Carolina should bo able to command the
means to guard her coasts from raids by
Aboltionisis, and tho haters of her instltu-
lion. whom she will not fellowship in the
Union, but 10 whose evil dispositions they
in a great measure subject themselves by
going out. Said to Que of tho chief ar
cbitects Of Secession
"Who will protec: you from the hundreds
of John Browns now lying in wait for an OPP
portunity to ronow, only more successfully

But there is not entire confidence on that

THERE are thirty newspapers published

THERE are thirty newspapers published
in Brazil four daily papers are pubiished
in Rio, OF which the Journal is the largest
and most valuable. being the Official paper.
Its daily circulation is about 5000 at Ss4
per annum, while The others have circu-
ation OF 5000. 1000 and 5000, less
in size and lower in price. A daily, pub.
lished at Pernambuco, is of great size,
also, being with the Journal double:
sheet. 1t is easy to see the influence Of
Government in the Spanish Republic and
those published in the Portuguese mon
archy, the first being full OF discussion
and life acd sometimes marked by ability.
while the latter contain no independent
idea, aud are mere vehicles OF news para.
graphs, Government edicts and legislative
proceedings aGd advertisements. The
Journal OF Commerce OF Rio is the only
paper worth reading in Brazil

DEATH OF THE DscOvEEEE OF BAKERS ISLAND.
Captain Michael Baker died at South Dartmouth,
Mass, on the 3lst ult. The commercial and agri-
cultural world will long hold his name in grateful
remembrance, as The discoverer of guano on New
Nantucket, now called Bakers Island.
The discovery was on this wise. On board of
the ship commanded by Captain Baker, in the year
1911, there was an orphan, named Warren Wilbur.
This young man was fatally injured by falling from
the lookout aot, and his dying request of Captain
Baker, who watched over and cared for him as if
he had been his own son, was to bury him on land
and not in the ocean. Captain Baker promised to
do so if possible, and being in the vicinity of Bakers
Island inferred him there. In digging the grave
lie discovered what he then thought to be most
remarkable kind of soil, the dust of which so en-
veloped and choked the men that they were COM
PEELED to abandon the place first attempted, and
choose another nearer the shore, where it was not
SO dry. Thus while engaged in performing an act
of kindness, which always characterized his life,
sprang there up business for thousands of ships;
and the basis Of food for millions of men.
