All PIRATE.
MS5. stcde Bonnet Turned from Farrn-
ing to Freebooting and Became
A Greedy RObDer.

Early in the eighteenth century there
lived at Bridgetown, in the island Of
Barbados, a very pleasant, middie-aged
gentleman named Maj. Stede Bonnet.
lie was a man in comfortable circum-
stances and had been an officer in the
British army. He had retired from mill
itary service, and had bought an estate
at Bridgetown, where he lived in com
fort and was respected by his neigh
bors.
But for some reason or other this
quiet and reputable gentleman got it
into his head that he should like to be a
pirate. But besides the general rea-
sons why Maj. Bonnet should not be-
come a pirate, and which applied to all
men as we'll as to himself, there vas a
special reason against his adoption of
the profession Of a sea robber-he was
ar out-and-out landsman and knew
nothing whatever Of nautical matters.
He was fond Of history and well read in
the literature of the day. He was ac-
customed to the habits Of good society,
and knew a good deal about farming
and horses and COWS and poultry.
But Notwithstanding his absolute I'M
fitness for such a life, Maj. Bonnet was
determined to become a pirate, and he
became one. He had enough money to
buy a ship and to ft<her out and man
her, and this he quietly did at Bridge
town, nobody supposing that he was
going to do anything more than start
off on sonae commercial cruise. When
everything was ready his vessel slipped
out of the harbor one night, and after
he was sailing safely on the rolling sea
he stood upon the quarter deck and pro
claimed himself a pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girded on a great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the coast
Of Virginia.
Bonnet's men were practiced seamen,
and 80 when this green hand" came
into the waters of Virginia he actually
took two or three vessels and robbed
them of their cargoes, burning the ships
and sending the crews ashore.
This had grown to be a ommon Gus
tom among the pirates, who, though
cruel and hard hearted, had not the
inducements of the old buccaneers to
torture and murder the crews of the
vessels which they captured. 1t was
called "marooning," and was somewhat
less heartless than the old methods.
AS Bonnet wished to adopt the GUS
toms of the society in which he placed
himself, when he found himself too far
from land to putthe captured crew on
shore he did not hesitate to make them
walk the plank, a favorite device of
pirates whenever they had no conven-
lent way of disposing Of their prisoners.
In one branch Of his new profession
Bonnet rapidly advanced. He soon be-
came a greedy robber and a cruel con-
oueror. lie captured merchant vessels
all along the coast as far north as New
England.-Frank r. Stockton, in St.
Nicholas.

TEEX LOVED TIE NEGRO.
A Soutlaern Father and Son Defend
Their Former Slave, Who rs
Wr0ng3Y Accused.

Gen. Barnu1n, of Abbeville, S. C., had
a body servant before the war who aped
him in everything. Peter SO loved his
master that he grew to talk like him,
act like him and almost look like him.
He lives to-day, the heart Of hospitality,
the soul Of honor. One Sunday two
white men drove up to the dooro of his
cabin and asked if he had any liquor in
the house. He said be had about a
quart. They offered to buy. He re-
fused to sell, but, just as his old master
drink. Having drunk they handed him
a half dollar. Of course, like his mas
ter, he declined the coin. The scoun-
drels went to town and swore out a COM
plant that he was violating the dispen-
sary laws.
1 happened to be in G%reenvillc the
other day when the trial took place, and
saw a revelation. Peters counsel was
Gen. Darnum's son, adiutant general Of
the state under Gov. John Gary Evans,
and the chief witness for the defense
was the general himself, who had come
over from Abbeville, distant about 100
miles, to say a word for his former slave.
The general took the stand and his son
said:
"What is your manner?
81 am Gen. Barnum, sir"
"Where do you reside?"
"In Abbeville, sir"
GLOW long have you known the de.
f~erdant?"
"~sixty-ive years, sir"
"What is his reputation"
"As gocd as any mans in this court
room, cir"
"Would Won trust hi1n?"
'Trust Peter? Why, I'd trust him.
with my life, my honor!" :
The jury didn't leave their seats.
The scene "sorter touched me up.'' Il
met young Barnum and asked if he re-
ceived anything for his services. "Ac-
cept a fee from Peter?" he said, in
amazement. "Why, sir, I'd as soon
think of charging my father"
"You and your father came 100 miles
to clear this old negro?"
Eyes, and we would have come 1000
or 10000. Old Peter was a second ia
Their to me. He raised me. When was
we'll he played with me; when [ was i'll
he nursed me. When I was a boy I'd
rather sleep in Peters cabin than in my
w bed at home, I'd rather take q
snack with Peter in those days than
dine with the president"
I'm afraid we Yankees don't under
stand the "nigger' question yet.-N. Y.

who was responsible for the cattle dy-

north, and made an agreement with a
young chief to guide us there.
We reached the village about 8 o'clock

middle OF the circle were a dozen men

trees and the foliage of cereal called
mealies, like Our corn.

whereupon the circle began to move
around slowly, the women grooming a
weird dirge and clapping their hands
the while. This is called "Ukwombela,"

Suddenly there was movement In one
part of the circle, and through the line

eyes strained, while he fairly gasped for

moment thrillingly tragic.
The priest walked into the middle of
the circle again to the beating of the
drums, and looking all about the circle
twice, finally fixed his gaze In the oppo-
site direction from us. Every eye fol-

said but that part Of the circle fell
back leaving one poor wretch standing
alone.
After this the whole camp bounced
on the witch and tore off his charms,

his weapons. At the same time a chief
came over to us and said that white
