AND HOW IT WAS WAS: CONDUCTED ON A GEORGIA PLANTATION.
| Interesting Account of a Scene Witnessed
Near Savannah— The Class of People Who
Attended Such Sales—Slaves Valueless
After the War Broke Out.
The death of a gentleman in Philadel- phia recently has recalled the Jast great slave anction in the sonth in 1859. This | ventleman was the clerk of the sale, and
ind he wrote as a memento an_ elaborate circumstantial account of the two lays’ proceedings, and this he did secret- ly, so intense was the desire of the mana- “ers to prevent any report getting to the papers Of the north.
The sale was held at
and
the track, near Savannah, and the negroes were the ; property of Mr. PierSé Butler of Pniladel- phia, His family name wre Mease, but inberit ny a fortune in Jand and slaves | “roan his grandfather, Maj. Pierce Butler | of Sonth Carolina, he changed his name. He very shared his fortune with his brother John, who, after eervice n the Mexican war, died about 1850. Mr. Butler was an inveterate and most unlucky ard player, and spent most of his tiine in Joe Hali’s rooms, Eighth, above Sanscm, and excivsive this city. Hall wa-, de- ) ice his profession, much resp ected and ixed, He died a few years ago, a poor Jethodist minister on the eastern shore. it was in Mr, Hall's place that Mr. Butler nade the losses that forced him to eell his slaves, It is said that on one occasion he eld four dences and proceeded to bet ina :shioa that led Hali to remons:rate, bat tutler langhed at him. With $26,000 up we was called, and Hall held four kings,
Butler inherited the beantifn! old ion now the site of the Sharpless building, i: hth and Chestnut, Philadelphia, and his he was forced to sell, and, in 1859, his creditors began to press for their money vid his agent, Charles Munhead, convey- ueer, of this city, went to Georgia to ar- - uge the sale of It wasa heerless day in October, 1859, when there came trooping into the raee ground 988 vegroes, divided into groups representing families. At the head of that sad proces- -ion was a withered man and woman, bent umost double by toil, leaning on sticks, und with them a giant negro, their only <1: and a well known blacksmith. All w r: marched under the sheds, and negro- .ke, at once commenced to gather sticks a fire, Abont half of them came from he rice fields of Darien. These were pure ‘ongo and in many instances retained their uncouth African language. The rest were far more intelligent in appearance and were from St. Simon island, a cotton plan- t tion,
‘he white crowd was a typical southern one, partly negro traders, flashing in dia- nond shirt pins and gandy chains, and tulli-s from the swamps and ruffianly overseers, many of them northerners. All of these were heavily armed and made an 5 entatious show of weapons, and their oudly expressed wish was ‘‘to ketch, be Gawd, eah, any yankee newspapah sneak that might ventuh on the ground.”
There was not a single representative of the old planter families from the vicinity, as they wera disgusted with the whole vroceeding. It was one of their traditions
hat they had never sold a negro born on their plantaiions, except for persistent wisconduct, and after the sale Butler ound himseif astranger among his form- er associates,
And now the bell in the grand stand rang and the erowd gathered around the portly **Majah” Stone, who, in a speech tluent with adjectives, praised the crowd, the “niggahe,” and our beloved Georgia, tir t among the states—and that was busi- e438 in those haleyon days. There were t-9 lots of lleek humanity, and prices anzed from $260 up to $2,100—this last or a first-rate blacksmith, bought for an state in the ueighborhood. Ten years ater the slave was in the legislature, aud the master’s family lived on his bounty,
the professional traders were the largest biyers, Col. Pate of Vicksburg taking 220. it was announced from the first that no livision of families would be permitted aud this made the sale less profitable, as inany of the members were old or infirm, and to get the good ones purchasers had to take others less desirable. It took two days to make a finish and the proceeds amounted to $303,850. The second day brought in a wind from the sea and a cold fog that swept in waves over the grounds. Che negroes buddled about the fires, cook- ing their bacon and hoe cake, and here Mr. Butler put in an appearance, From a bas carried by a servant he gave each one
f his old servants $1 in bright quarters. \fter all was said in denunciation of the -ale, the fact remained that it was neces- -ary on Butler's part; his creditors ordered t, and one of the most vigorous people in nforcing his claim was,a Philadelphia rent eman who was a leading and oratori-
al abolitionis!.

his slaves,
Out ofthe sale of one of the groups arose a series of tragdies tat fitly illustrat- ed the tendencies of negro trading. Most of the men iu this business were fighters. they knew they were despised and avoid- ad by gentlemen, and so exacted a certain mount of respect socially by their readi- ness to resent an insult. Tom Pate, a well-known Vicksburg trader, bought at the sale a man, his two sisters, and wife, with the guarantee that they shouid not be separated. Disregarding this Pate sold the sisters, One to Pat Somers, a brother trad- er, and the other to a resident of St. Lonis. What legal rights a negro had in the south were well protected. Somers was told of he guarantee, and he sent the girl back to Pareand demanded his money. A quarrel was the result and Somers was shot dead. Teu days later his nephew killed Pate and died fiom the wounds received, The feud was kept up until every male bearing the name of Pate was wiped out and then the war liberated the sisters, who were alive in St. Louis in 1887.
Butler sold in time, A year afterward his slaves would not have bronght $1 xpiece. He died in 1867, and without sus- picion of having been poisoned by some of
}.is negroes on the plantation in Georgia.

PETER’S MISTAKE.
He Really Lost Money on That $24 Ia- vestment.
History tells us that 268 years ago, or in 1626, Peter Minuit bonght Manhattan Is- land from the Indiaus, and paid for it $24 in merchandise.
It has usually been thought that Peter took advantage of the ignorance of the un- tutored ravage, and made an excellent bar- gain for himself.
No doubt but that Peter thonght it wasa good trade, particularly when he consider- ed the vaiue of lots after the streets would be laid out, Central Pari: impreved, Brook- lyn Bridge built, and che island had a population of 2,000,000; for Peter was a shréwd real estate specniator, and looked a long way ahead with a correct, prophetic eye,
Notwithstanding all of Peter's shrewd- ness and foresight he made the mistake of his life, and lost millions of dollars by his purchase. He didu’t stop to figure ia- terest,
Since 1626 the rate of interest in this country, where money has always been in demand, has ranged from six per *snt up to highway robbery. It will be conserva- tive to say that eight per cent is a fair average.
Now, if Peter had loaned his $24 at eight per cent compound interest, from then until this date, what would its value be compared with the value of Manhattan Island.
At 8 per cent. compound iuterest money will double once in about nine years, Now, there have been twenty-nine times nine years, and seven years more, since Then, if he had loaned his $24 he would have hed nearly
$400,000 at the end of the first 190 years, ana more than $200,000,000 at the close of | the second century, while in 1894 his prin-
cipal of $24 wuuld have grown tu be $20,- 000,000,000—the value of land man

ly and a second later the staf fell heavily
on the stage as thouzh in a faint. The

ager, cowiug to the front, stated that owing to the sudden and dangerous illness of the leading actoa the performance could not go on. A free entertainment would be given on the following evening to make up for the shortening of the play. The audience began to file out quietly and ths hall was nearly half empty when a burst of fire came through the curtain. The suanty, for it was little more, had caught fire behind the scenes and the stage man- ager's idea was to get out the bulk of the audience before a panic set iu, He suc- ceeded so well that, although, of course, the building was burned to the ground, no one was hurt and the men who had been checring the actors a few minutrs before helped to save adjoining buildings by stretching wet blankets cver the roofs,” —St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Finesse.
Old man Sam was sitting one morning in front of his cabin enjoying the warmth of the sun, while his two little grandsons piayed about his feet.
Just then two young sons of his former master, who were visiting in the »eighbor- hood, strolled up to have a chat with Sam. After talking with him awhile they nand- ed him a bag of tobaceo, and a handful of cigars, and were about to leave when they observed the clildren, and» one of them asked whose they were,
‘“‘Dem's my gran’sons, Mimy’s boys,” re- plied Sain.
A sudden thought seemed to come to him
as he jooked at the young men, and a crafty
look crept over s face as he adde
‘Deys hat a you a diew, Mars’ Milton, ‘cause dey's twius, jes’ like you is.” <
The brothers commented on the fine
looks of the children and their wonderful difference in size, tor twins.

The young men smiled and gave each child a quarter as they left
They had searcely turned the corner of
