A WORD TO GIRLS.
How a Young Lady Ought to Behav
When Man Proposes.

How Young Lady Ought to Behave
When Man Proposes.
We must give ali the nice, modest girls
we know credit for not consciously eudeav-
oring to catch husbands, says the author of
"The Five Talents of Woman" II men fall
in love with them and desire to marry
them, and they are the right sort of men,
and the girls can love in return, well and
good-thcy marry, and hope to be happy
ever after, but they will not run after men,
or think in every thing they do or say, 'Can
/ catch a fish with this baitl'
1t must, however, be confessed that there
are girls who, instead of making them
selves useful and calmly resting in their
maiden dignity, think only of getting mar
ried, and use questionable means to
achieve their purpose. Forgetting the
proverb, ''The more haste the less speed"
this sort of girl not iufrequently assumes a
fast style of talk, manner and dress, in
order to make herself attractive TO the Cd
posite sex. In dong so she makes a great
mistake. Fish may nibbie ae her bait, but
they will not allow themselves to be caught.
A loud girl may attract attention and have
half an hour of popularity, but she is a type
ofthe Observation-Disclosures Of some of her sex
Men of the baser sort may amuse them
selves with her, but no man worth having
would think of marrying her.
There is a liberty that makes US free and
liberty that makes Us slaves, and the girls
who take liberties with nodcsty Of speech
and manner. and who cross over the bound
airy into masculine territory, are not laore
free. but moro slavish than before. And
the appreciation of mon, which Is the end
- view. is lost by the means taken to gain
IL. Whatever men may DC 1..~--,- YES they
like gentlencss, modesty and purity in act
aud thought in women They want their
WIVES to DC better than themselves. They
think that women should oe the c0nsefva
tors of all that is restrained, chivoirous and
gentle.

LAST SLAVE CARGO.
Colony of African Negroes StiH Living
on a Georgia Plantation.

on = NEcotSha ElsABtaIfOn.
Probably the most interesting character
hereabouts, says the Augusta (Ga.) CIrOi-
fcie, is a negro man who was oneo of the
cargo of the Wanderer, the last slave ship
to bring TO this country load of captives
from Africa Lucius Williams, as he was
christened by one OF the young ladies Of
the family into which he was sold, or - Um-
walla." as he was called in Africa. lives in
a small hut on the outskirts Of Hamburg,
across the river from here. Since freedom
he has earned a livelihood working gar
dens, saving wood and embarrassing. He
was a little surprised when asked about his
early life, but talks well. once he has be-
gun, requiring to be questioned frequently.
however As Umwalla, he was born IN
Guinea, according TO his story, not far from
Liberia One day, when he was about ten
years of age, ne was sent to his aunt to
carry her some pinders to plant. When he
was going through tho woods two strange
black men seized HIM and bound his hands
He cried terribly, and they soon gagged
him. They sold him 10 a native, who took
him TO Liberia. There. for the first time in
his life, he saw white man, and he was
terribly frightened at him.
Umwalla was then taken to the Wanderer,
where a large number of captives had al
ready been stored away in the hold. The
passage over was fraught with untold ter
rors to the young savage. a storm was en-
countered, and for days the hold was fas-
tened up, and numbers of the negroes died
from sickness caused by the foul air. There
were number of ferocioUs men among the
cargo who had to be kept in chains.
When the Wanderer approached the
South Carolina coast she Was sighted by a
Government boat and given chase. During
the night she dropped anchor of Pocataligo,
and the cargo Of negro men and women was
debarked.
Umwalla, or, as be was afterwards
called, Lucius, was taken to "A Carolina
plantation near Beech Island, and put to
work there.
Lucius is very fond Of the white folks"
as he styles the family of his old master
and mistress, and frequently calls to see
them-walking several miles TO do so.
The style of punishment followed among
his tribe was 10 break the culprit's neck
by sudden wrench from forled stick.
Lucius tells, in his quaint way, of the inter-
esting features Of slavery. Nonegro woman
was permitted, however gorgeous her toilet
otherwise, TO wear vail or gloves. Negro
men were neither perm tied to carry a
walking-cane nor smoke a cigar on the
streets. They could not remain away from
their quarters after nine o'clock at night
without permit from their master.
He is not lonesome here. for on neighbor-
ing plantation on Captain Ben Tillman's
place-are many negroes from his old
home, and they frequently meet and con-
verse in African. They do not attempt to
impart the language to their children, he
says, and of course all vestiges of it, save
what they have engrafted ON the Southern
patOis, must soon die out.-AuJ,lstd (Gd)

General Pryor said that as a viola
