Declares That the Men Who Fought in
Sea Of Japan Not Thieves.

st, Petersburg, Feb. 15.-"Perhaps

THE LAST SLAVE SHIP.

Many things can be forgotten in forty
seven years and probably few Americans
remember the story OF the slave-shp
Clotilde that was run into Mobile Bay
and burned one dark night in 1859, and
how its cargo of slaves was dumped off
into the canebrakes and left, some to be
picked up and sold. some to wander a.
bout and starve. and some to die OF
homesickness.
Notwithstanding that it all happened
close to Mobile, scarcely any one this
year recalls anything of the facts. Only
in an old scrap book of a friend could |
find a single printed word about them:
and when this friends daughter had
once been to the strange settlement, and
had described some of the peoples habits
of life in a charming little dialect sketch.
the dramatic situation seized upon me.
\ burning desire possessed me to see
these remarkable people face to face A
chase followed among the old negroes of
Mobile. for somebody had said I would
find among them certain man who
knew the road through the big dark
swamp behind the city 70 their settle
ment. The fates were kind and ut last
| found white man who, in the old
Confederacy days had often been to the
settlement, knew the Africans well, and,
in fact, at n certain time had had them
under his control as Confederate
officer.
A drive of half a dozen miles over an
elevated plank road and through q
wilderness of trees and wayer brought us
out to the clay hills by the Alabama
River
There was n cluster Of sawmills close
by in the "piney woods" and beyond
these many negro cabins IN rows But
their occupants were the common neg
roes, working in the mills, and of re-
cent arrival. 1t was little they knew OF
the real Africans" as distinguished from
themselves, After much inquiry, and
much running about the pineys, and the
pathetic looking Confederate breastworks
that still stretch sullenly for mile and
more through the woods, we came to a
few African houses. They were only dill
apidated cabins but surrounded with
truck gardens and rose-bushes. Hardley
a dozen Of the old Clotilde's victims are
alive. though numbers OF their children
live near the settlement and have inter-
married with the common negro.
Few of the captured ones had been
more than twenty at the time Of their
enslavement, and all remember the horr-
ible details rs IL they had been expert
ences of recent time. They were more
stalwart in appearance and of finer ply
sique than the American negro whose
ancestors have been long in bondage
Their eyes were brighter too, their voices
| even softer and more melodous.-S. H.

LICENSES FOR SUMNER HOTELS.
CTrom the Brattleboro Reformer.)

Qrom the Brattleboro Reformer)
The Legislature which convcnes next
Wednesday ought TO give some atten-
ton to the local-option law in reference
to its relation to summer hotel business.
1t is claimed that prospective investors
are unwilling to put their money into
summer hotel properties here for the rea-
son that the existing law prohibits the
sale of liquor to guests of hotels in towns
which vote no on the license question.
In New Hampshire the license law con-
tains provision which allows the grant
ing of special hotel licenses regardless
of a towns vote, guests only being in
cuded in the list to whom the licensee
can sell. Such provision, applying only
TO summer hotels and rigidly drawn,
might be conducive to more summer hotels
| in Vermont.
