The First Slave in America.

Not very far from Tokay, on the
Cape Fear river, is the site of an
other old southern homestead,
Owen hill, in whose family grave
yard is the tombstone of the first
slave to whom all American master
voluntarily gave his freedom. This
slave WAS Omereh, an Arabian
prince of the Foulah tribe, who
was taken captive by q victorious
negro tribe and sold as a prisoner
Of war to a SLAYER off the coast of
Guinea. Omereh ran away from
his first master, Il South Carolina
cOtton-planter, and was caught and
put in the Fayettevillejail to await
the arrival of hls owner.
In the meantime Governor Owen,
of Owen hill, heard of the erect,
handsome slave, who had written
all over the walls Of his cell in un-
known characters. His curiosity
was excited. He went to the Jail,
saw Omereh, knew at once that he
was not II negro, and surlniSed
from his bearing that he wls a per-
son of some dignity in his own
country. When the cotton-planter
came to claim his property he read
lily accepted Governor Owens check
for the full value Of the slave he
could neither understand nor man
age. Omereh WAS taken to Owen
hill, was taught to speak English,
his strange history was told to his
master, and he was converted from
his Mohammedanism. Governor
Owen offered him his freedom, and
he lived in comfort at Owen hill
until he died at an advanced age
and was buried as q member at the
family, in the family burying-
ground. A slab Of marble marks
his grave.-Cor. Washington Post.

The True Friend.

A certain merch ant had three
SOILS. When the Youngest came Of
age he called them together, and
said to them i'll voice husky with
emotion:
"Now, boys. yon all go out into
the world and acquire IL knowledge
of human nature. At the end Of
heyear you will return, and the one
who has acquired the best friend;
will receive this magnificent dia
mond ring"
The young men having taken the
ring to il ieweler and satisfied
themselves That 1t was not a Cali.
fornia diamond, accepted the situa-
ton and started out. AT the end
of the year they returned, looking
somewhat the worse for wear. The
old man immediately issued his call
for mass meeting, and they gath
cred around him. He called for
the reports from the various com
mitteeS.
The first one lifted up his voice
and said:
II had an affair of honor. [ got

he SWAN off and let me have the

the case of the other brother, his

I o,,o.ttar of Roses is Made.

yMEN5r of roses ofcommerce is
protSiss.a1.-Sson a large scale in the
Turkish provence of Roumelia, aud
principally on the warm southern
slopes Of the B llkan. The same
article is also made in Tunis, India,
Persia and the south Of France, but
the quantity produced is small and
the prices so high that very little is
exported. The Roumelan altar is
made from the Rosa damaSena by
distillation. The color of this rose
is generally red, though sometimes
white, and blooms in May and June.
The flowers are on trees that aver
age about six feet high, which are
not only planted in rows, bnt ten
ded zealously from autumn till mid
summer. The flowers when in full
bloom are plucked before sunrise,
sometimes with, sometimes without
the calyx, but only in such quanti-
ties as can be distilled on the day
that they are pluckcd. The still is
plain tin apparatus, from which u
loug curved tube is directed through
a tub Of water and into a large bot
tie. The still stands on a stone
hearth, and usually IN the shade of
trees near ~ running steam. The
firing is done by wood. The still
holds from twenty-five to fifty
pounds ofroSeS, which are covered
with twice that quantity of water
are boiled half an honr. The DIS
titled liquid that passes over into
the bottle is alIowed to stand, when
the altar rises OH the surface and is
skinned of, the water ultimately
being sold as rose wafer at Con-
