THE MYSTERIOUS NOBLEMAN

A few months since q seafaring man was
lost over board from the schooner Hera. on
me passage from Boston to Melbourne. who
proves to have been the English Earl of
Aberdeen, who has been missing for some
year5-having left home in 1866 and shipped
on board a vessel as common sailor In
the spring of that wear he visited his uncla
at Fredericton, N. b., but was quite RESTLESS
during his visit. The uncle used every
means to induce the Earl to give up his row
ing lite, but in vain. The Earl was next
heard from in Boston, whence he wrote his
uncle that he was about to sail for Buenos
Ayres. This caused his relative much un-
casneSs, and agents were employed to find
INN. They ascertained he had shipped be-
tore the mast on board the barque James M
Churchill, Of st. Andrews, N. B., command.

eognlzcd him by the description. Mr.. G.
has forgotten the name signed, but feels con-
ildent that the sailor was Aberdeen.
1t IS not known whether he really perform
Ell the voyage in the James NJ Churchill.
but 1t IS known that he sailed several vow
ages IN the coasting and West India trade
and thus acquired an intimate KNOWLEDGE Of
working schooners. His career has been
traced along the coast from the easternmost
parts of Maine to Pensacola. At one time he
sailed in Richmond, Maine, vessel. Final

lie joined the ship several days before she
sailed, and it was observed that his powerful
build enabled him to do the manual labor of
two ordinary men. On the sixth day out he
fell overheard and was drowned. His friends
in Great Britain, very anxious to have him
return, sent commissioners to this country to
lind him, and after great amount OF search
ing traced him to the Hera, and soon after
ward learned that he had been lost over
board. They are now procuring testimony
mat he was the man who had shipped under
the name of George II. Osborne The testi
mohy obtained seem to prove undeniably
that George IL. Osborn and the Earl of Aber-
deem were one. Various reasons are gwen
Tor his strange alienation from friends and
home, the most probable of which is that
disappointment in a love affair was the
cause.

81 The Orangeburg Nccs says emphatically
that whore farmers do not get what hands
they want this year It's their own fault"
Much land has boon sold to colored men, who
pro building and settling upon 1T; but this
docs not hinder farmers from contracting
with these very men. A gentleman in the
county has rented lands to families all around
him. The men Of these families are to work
in his contract for one-third, as heretofore.
The women are allowed to work the land
rented to the family, the owner having lien
on their crop for the payment of the rent
The owner, also, by the terms Of the contract,
at certain times can call on all the hands at so
much per day to work in his crop. This far
mer always has many hands as he wants.
BY this arrangement, says our contemporary,
the colored man has his home his family
working for him and for themselves. The owner
of the land has hands for all the land he wants
to plant for himself, and the rest of 1t is
rented out to good paying tenants. Now,
even suppose the land is sold, instead of
rented, to these families, the same plan can
operate, and the same security is given for
hands for the planter, and lien secures the
payment for the purchase OF the land And
this latter is better, inasmuch as the security
to both is permanent and not temporary, for
one year. The colored man is settled and
happy, and the planter has hands around him
ready at his command. Mutual forbearance
and kindnesses on either side will secure con-
tentment and prosperity to both. The col
ored man is not avaricious-he is satisfied
with comfort. By this means he realizes the
wish of his heart-to have home. He is
elevated as a man and laborer. He has
every inducement to be honest as man an d
industrious as laborer. He is rendered
contented and happy. 1t takes very little to
make him happy, and he has right to be
happy. Without some such plan as this, the
same difficulty will arise each year for hands.
And il will increase every year, for the col
ored man is resolved to have home and O
start in life.
These calm and sensible words are well
worthy of general consideration. Colored
labor is the only labor that we can command;
colored people have the political control of
the State. Surely, then, it is wiser to make
the colored men our friends and fellow-labor-
ers in common cause, than to aggravate the
distrust and dislike which are already too bit
ter and too deep for the good of our State and
people.

THE WHITE MANS FRIEND.

From tho NJ 7. Tribune ~
In that episode of the protracted debate on
the Virginia question in the Senate which
particularly marked the 18th of January, an
affecting incident occurred we'll calculated to
revive many fainting souls and to energize
many weary minds of the Caucasian persua-
sion. 1t has been matter of complaint that
during the deliberations of the Senate upon
the Virginia matter, so much should have
been said of sable and SO little of lighter
colored Americans; and, upon the day men,
toned, Mr.. Trumbull had expressed mild
doubts of the true friendship of Mr.. Sumner
for Americans of African descent, or rather
of the real value of that friendship; and Mr..
Sumner had, of course. responded, most un-
necessarily, we think, however briefly. It
was Just at this time that the white man,
neglected and despised and made of little
account, pushed aside in the Senate with all
his interests and hopes, his historic dignity,
his coloress cuticle, his straight hair, his fine
facial angle, and the unexceptionable curve of
his shin -bone-it was just then that this
melancholy member of the human family
found friend And such friend ! One
who in his own person may be supposed to
represent all the virtues, all the pre-eminent
abilities, all the ethnic .superiority all the
gifts and all the graces of the Anglo-Saxon
racel Need we say that we refer to Mr..
Senator Salisbury ?
For long time the eminent white man had
wearily listened to the never-ending, still
beginning talk ABOUT the ''niggers," until
the Hon. Willard Salisbury could bear il no
longer. He rose, and, what is more remarka-
BILE, he stood in his place, to utter his protest
against this exclusive attention to Ethiopia
'sGentlemen all talk" he said indignantly,
'sofa their devotion TO the negro they are
always telling us how much they are attracted
to him; the poor white race seems to have no.
body to say one word for it," Then, with an
infinite pathos he added, Nobody seems to
care for the white man now" The words
went forth like q wall They sighed and
swelled like the death-song of once great
people. They seemed like a farewell to fast
vanishing greatness, to glories which have
illustrated the annals of the world, and to a
fecundity which has done so much to replen-
ish it. Nobody cares for the white manAnowl" "

solemn announcement, did not burst into
tears; that all these white Senators did not
