Contracts at the South.

There is a great variety of contra Is
by which labor n secured Mt this time ol
Southern plantations, and il il not un'
usual to fnd hands hired several differ
ent ways on the same plantation.
l Standing wages. " This method
consists in simply paving stipulated
sum-say ten or fifteen dollars pei
month-and furnishing regular allow
ance Of meat and meal each week. A
regular allowance consists of peck OF
meal aud three and a half or four pounds
of meat per week; and when the plant
er furnishes this TO the laborer, he is
said to "tind" him. In such contracts
the hands agree to obey all Instructions
usual in plantation life, and work when
aud where bidden, except at night, on
Sunday. and upon stipulated holidays.
Hands thus engaged invariably give the
most satisfaction; but hereto the freed
men in many localities have been 10th
to hire in this manner. The low prices
Of cotton and the uncertainty of the
seasons IRE however, gradually convinc-
ing them Of its advantage and propriety.
2. A mode of contract frequently
adopted in the culture of cotton is work
ing for part of the crop. This plan is
carried into operation in several ways,
some of which may be specified.
~ Where the hand receives half of
what he makes, and feeds and clothes
himself, to which is sometimes added
the condition that the freedman is to
share the expenses equally with his en-
ployer. The philosophy of such a con-
tract is this The planter furnishes
land, mules, tools and houses while the
freedman supplies all the labor and sup
ports himself; but this contract is ruin
Gus to the planter, being more than he
can afford to give.
(2) Where the hand receives one-tf rd
of what he makes, and has his meat
given him. This too, is more than the
farmer can afford, when cotton is less
than 20 or 20. cents pound.
(3) Wien the hand receives one-fourth
of what he makes, and is found" that
is, fed. This is somewhat lair for the
planter.
In each case it is necessary for the
planter to advance all the money requi-
site for the purchase of supplies, and
frequently of such articles as may be
needed for the actual comfort of his Ia
borers. Should it happen that rupture
occurs early in the year, and he loses
his freedmen, small chance is there for
the recovery of the money thus ad-
vanced to them. Such ruptures are
occurring, with their conse-
4uent disadvantages, annoyance, and
loss to the planter, who in labor looked
for reimbursement for all outlays; bat
The labor lost, he has no recourse, seeing
hat the freedman is entirely irresponsi

A Greyport Legend.

They ran through the streets Of the seaport
town,
Thoy peered from the decks Of the ships
where they lay.
The cold sca-fog that came whitening down
Was never ~ cod or white ~ they.
A" flo, Starbuck and Pinckney and Tenterdenl
Run for your shallops, gather your men,
Scatter your boats on the lower bay
Good cause for fear In the thick midday
The hulk that lay by the rotting pier,
Filled with the children IN happy play,
Parted its moorings and drifted clear.
Drfted clear beyond reach or call -
Thirteen children there were In all, -
All adrit IN the lower bay
Said a hard faced skipper, "God help us all
She will not float till the turning tidcl"
Said his wife, my darling will hear nay call,
Whether in sea or Heaven she bide."
And she lifted quavering voice and high,
Wild and strange Az y sea-birds cry,
TIL they shuddsred and wondered at her sido.
The fog drove down on each laboring crew,
Yelled each from each and the sky and shore.
There was not sound but the breath they
drew,
And the lap OF water and creak OF oar
And they felt the breath Of the downs, fresh
blown I... .tf
Der leagues OF clover and cold grav stone,
But not from the lips that had gone before.
They come no more. But they tell the tale
That when fogs are thick on the harbor reef.
The mackerel fishers shorten sail
For the signal they know will bring relief, =,
For the voices of childen still at play
In phantom hulk that drifts Away
Through channels whose waters never fail.
II ia bpt poor shipmans tale,
A theme for poets idle page,
But still when the mists Of doubt prevail,
And we lie becalmed by the shores OF Age,
We hear from the misty troubled shore
The voice Of the children gone before,
Drawing the soul to its anchorage.

WaShingtOn in lSnO.

Seventy-one years ago the seat of gov
ernment was removed from Philadelphia
to Washington, and President John
Adams, with his family, was obliged to
leave the comfortable and even luxuri-
ous city upon the Delaware to establish
himself upon the lonely and unpromis-
ing shores of the Potomac. woods

reach the city which is only so in name, "
writes the clever and accomplished Mrs.
Adams. Here and there is a small
cot without a glass window, interspersed
among the forests, through which yon

being" OF the first White House she
says "The house is upon a grand and
superb scale, requiring about thirty
servants to attend and keep the apart
ments in proper order and perform the
ordinary business of the house and
stables-an establishment very well pro-
portioned to the Presidents salary !
The lighting of the apartments from the
kitchen to parlors and chambers is a tax
indeed and the fires we are obliged to
keep to secure us from daily agues is
another very cheering comfort. To as

At the close of the afternoon perform
ance of circus in Columbus, Ohio.
Mr.. Charles Fisher made an ascent in a
huge hot-air balloon, or rather the bal
loon went up with Fisher dangling to Il
couple of ropes suspended below. I'M
mediately blue smoke was seen to issue
from point on the side of the balloon,
about one-third the way up from the
mouth TO the top. Experienced eyes at
once detected that the balloon was on
fire, but the eronaut, all unconscious of
his danger, went on with his frightful
performance on the trapeze. When the
balloon was about 1900 feet in the air,
the flames were seen suddenly to burst
from its side, and simultaneously a cry
of horror went up from the great crowd
below. Many turned away their eyes,
and one woman tainted, all expecting
that Fisher would at once meet horri-
BILE death. But whether it was that the
material of the balloon was not veiy in
fiammable, or that the hot-air near the
flame was not very combustible, certain
it is that the balloon did not burn
rapidly. and the aroRaut landed in safe
ty upon the top of slaughter-house,
near the end of the Hooking Valley
bridge over the Scioto, while the burn
ing balloon Lit in the water which
speedily extinguished the flames.

A Singular Career.

A Hungarian named Endre Tagete, o
Fremont, Iowa, lately closed his varie
gated career by taking at one dose thre,
bottles of pain-killer in a most remark
able way. He left a manuscript account
of his life, from which it appears that
he was of noble birth and well educated.
He was engaged in the revolution OF
1913, was taken prisoner by the Aus
trians, and sentenced to be shot but he
escaped and went to Italy, and afterwards
to Algeria, where he lost his money by
gambling entered the French service
and fought the Cabyls for two years, and
at the end of that time he was captured
and reduced to slavery, from which he
was redeemed by female servant of the
daughter of the chief, who married and
converted him to the Mahometan faith.
She died soon and he returned to Eu-
rope, wandering first through the desert,
stealing a camel on which to ri lie, and at
last reached the borders of the Mediter-
ranean, where he took passage on an
American ship to Messlna. He joined
the army Mt Naples, and was sentenced to
serve four years in the galleys. Soon
he escaped and fell into the hands of
brigands, but as he had no money he
was allowed to depart in peace. Then
he went to Genoa, where a Neapohtan
officer recognized him and placed him in
irons preparatory to sending him back
to the galleys. The captain of the YES
sci which was carrying our hero pitied
him, struck off his irons, and allowed
him to Jump overheard and escape but
no sooner had he landed than French
patrol clapped him into prison, and he
was reclaimed by the government at Ma
piles. However, he pretended to he a
French deserter and was not given up,
and in six months was fighting in the
Crimea. He served also in the Franco
Italian war, and four years afterwards
was fighting in this couhtry in the Fed
eral army. When the war ended he set
tied down on the banks of the Wapsi-
pinicon, where he fell in love with farm
er's daughter living at Fremont ; but,
although at first she seemed to return
his passion, she soon grew cold, and
drove him to frenzy. So he bought three
bottles of the pain killer, loaded gun.
and went to the home of his beloved
while her parents were at church, poured
the contents of the three bottles into the
muzzle of his gun, asked the girl if she
would marry him, and when she refused
to do so put the muzzle of the gun into
his mouth and fred, killing himself in
stantly.

If we might piece out picture will
incomplete likenesses, we might indicat
an army as it actually exists in real ser

to the general, who carries in his head

life and doing its offices.
Sometimes there is battlo. The mons
ter then has its vomit of blood; but
when it has coiled again its slow, wound

The motions are inexplicable to the
common observer. Imagine such mons
ter cropping its way through wooded
and intricate country, such as furnished
most of the battle-felds eff our late war.
1t is never visible rs whole. 1t is half
burrowed in the ground, half concealed
in the forest. There is strange hum
in the air but here is an army Of tens
of thousands of men and if it has shed
it's tents in the summer time, there are
when the vast multitude has

bowels of the earth.
We see line of soldiers on the fringe
of the forest, some gashes of red earth,

the brown plain, a line of horsemen pac-
