MIGHT HAVE BEEN A KING.
Romantic History of n Negro Who
Died Recently in New Orleans.

Died Recently In New orleans.
A lineal descendant of the African
kings died recently in this city. 1t was
Alexander Rockwell, centcnarian,
who was induced scores Of years ago
to come to America and was sold at
auction as a slave, says the New Or
leans Timcs-Democr3t Eighty-tivc
years ago Alexander WAS locked upon
by many Of the african warriors as
their next leader. An English trading
vessel came near the place for the
purpose of kidnapping natives. The
white men painted glowing pictures OF
American life to the black visitors.
and gave them trinkets that delighted
the hearts Of the savages.
Alexander was not difficult to per-
suade and he was taken on the ship
with other natives. His real name no
one can tell. He was physical prize
and the traders expected good amount
for him. Besides he was Of royal
blood.
The vessel reached America and the
natives were taken to Virginia and dis
posed Of at public sale.
When it came to be known that Alex
ander was of the African royalty there
was some lively bidding for him and
finally he was knocked down to plant
er in Virginia named Beckwell. He
was called Alexander by his master,
because Of his looks and lineage. He
soon mastered the English language,
and on the death of his master he was
sold to a Georgia planter and later to
a Louisianian in Rapides. Alexander
remained there until the outbreak of
the war, and after the battle din quiet
ed and all was harmony he came to
New Orleans and has lived here for
a number Of years.

Some of the Inconvenience a Man

1t was the Sparks family's first night

Mr.. Sparks slept soundly until l

There was no lct-up in the sound as
Mr.. Sparks pulled on bis trousers and
tucked in his night-gown.
'"The fellow must have his foot plant

went barefooted down two flights Of
uncarpcted stairs, while the bell kept
up its tattoo behind him. He was in
an agony lest it awake the baby, con-
tingency that meant no peace until
morning, for the Sparks baby was of
nervous temperament. The bell stop
ped its clamor just as Mr.. Spark
reached the front door and threw it
open. The wind swept in and chilled
his knees, but there was no one there.
He crept angrily back up stairs.
"WhO. in the name Of decency," he
demanded Of Mrs. Sparks, would ring

and then run away? I believe it was
