MIA Adventures.
The story of the achievement of
Maria Bensley has become familiar
through the recent attempts Mt settle
ment OF the Bensley estate In San
Francisco. The story OF the woman's
personality, as related by the Exam
liner, Is more remarkable. AS one evil
dence of her peculiarities II may be
cited that she wore n coat of mail. The
woman was the wife Of John Bensley,
once financial power In San Francis
co. When he failed and fed, after hid
ing his property, to escape his credit
ors. She remained TO fight them, and
proved herself n diplomat. After sew
eral transfers she got hold of the
Bcnsley property, In turn disposing of
IL 10 fictitious woman, from whom
she had no trouble in securing power
OF attorney. "Mrs. De Tarente" she
called this fictitious woman, and, need
less 10 say, when Mrs, llensley desired
TO dispose of any property Mrs. De
Tarente never dissented. While Bens-
ley was away his wife found herself in
many trying situations, and when she
became widow her peace OF mind was
still disturbed by the opportunities of
creditors and their recourse to the law.
Mrs, Benslcy traced her pedigree back
TO noble families that never existed,
and her pride was based on titles that
were never bestowed. She had few
conHdantes and the enemies her hus-
band had acquired readily transferred
their attention to her. She was wor-
ried. and looked il. She grew thin and
feeble, but lost no whit OF her pluck.
One day Mrs. Bensley was dining at
the Pleasanton when q message was
brought 10 her She read IL, gasped
and tainted. AS she fell from her
chair she struck the floor with clang.
People who raieod the atteuuated

SLAVES IN NEW ENGLAND.
The beginning of Trario In Human Chat

The beginning of Trafic In Human Chat
tets IN tho Eastern States.
In the sixteenth century the system
Of slavery was fast disappearing from
western Europe as being inconsistent
with their duty Tor Christians to hold
Christians as slaves. But this charity
did not extend to heathens and inf
delsl In the latter part of the seven
teenth century the African slave trade
was considered the most profitable
part OF British commerce. New Eng
land naturally followed the lead of
older countries, and her exchange for
humanity of rum, molasses and other
commodities acceptable on the Guinea
and Gold coasts began.
In 1888, says lIarper's Magazine,
Samuel Maverack, OF Massachusetts,
bought African slaves, and in 1850 "a
neager maybe 25e" appears in On in
ventory in Hartford. Ere long every
well-to-do family had its quota of me-
grocs for necessary domestic service
and labor on the plantation" OF the
northern agriculturist, not in large
numbers, as later, on the cotton plan
tations of the south, but one or two, or
even seven or eight In family.
The slaves imported were OF various
coiors, tribes and physiognomies.
Some were Jet black, with features APP
preaching those Of the European; some
were OF tawny yellow, with fiat
noses and projecting jaws. These lat
ter, coming from tho delta of the
Niger, were noted for an indomitable
capacity for endurance, and therefore
esteemed the best slaves. A few were
Mohammedans, among whom were &C.
casionally found persons OF some edu-
cation, who knew Arabic and could
read. the Koran. But the great mass
were pagans, in n condition Of gross
barbarisn. aa

there is nothing haphazard about it
when two trained athletes meet in the
ring Each knows what the other is
trying to do to him, and it is his bust
ness to take care of himself. 1t is folly
to talk about 'schance blows"
All my training for the recent con-
test at Jacksonville was done as care
fully as possible. | expected to go
through twenty rounds with Mitchell
and l tried to put myself in good
enough condition to fight all day if
necessary The event showed that all
this anxiety was perhaps not neces-
sary, but it is an imperative rule for a
man defending the championship of
his country always to enter the ring in
perfect condition.
The great thing to be done was to
bring my power of endurance to it's
best condition. For this it was neces-
sary to take long walks and runs, to
box, to punch the striking bag, to
wrestle and to play great deal of

ure of the thing and its beneficial in
fuence on the health.
To begin with, the methods of train
ing as well as of boxing have changed
vastly since the ancient Mr.. Figg be-
gan to teach the manly art of self de-
Tense. The old London prize ring rules,
under which men fought barehanded
on the turf, have practically fallen into
disuse. They should never be revived,
for they encouraged brutality. Under
those rules game man was virtually
knocked out half dozen times before
he was so beaten that he could not
come to time at the end of one minutes
rest. Under the Queensbury rules,
which now govern championship bat
ties, the man who is knocked down
must be up and fighting within ten sec
onds or he loses the contest. This is
merciful to the conquered, and it does
not prevent the best man from winning.
A great many followers of the old sys-
tenn complain that under modern rules
the inferior fighter may win with a
"chance blow" 1t seems to me that

Gires a Genteel Tonch.

Next to neatly finished details re-

there is nothing that distinguishes
amateur work from professional
more than the pressing. Most peo-
pie only press their goods when
they consider that certain portions or
seams require it, whereas the tailor
holds his goose as of as much impor-
lance as his shears or needle, and
shapes his garments with sponge and
hot iron-quite as much with the
former as the latter. This is particu-
larry applicable to cloth garments"
