DAILY BNQUmiR • 8UN: OOLUMBUB, GSORGIA, FRIDAY MORNI5G OCTOBER 14, 1887.
A Graphic Sketch of Life Among the
Southern Freedmen.
“Sitlm” of the lelead ol Hilton Head—i Strang
Collection of Ilnnan Incongruity—Cantonm anil
lannere—The Happleet People on the Garth.
Chapters have been written abont the
uegro of the coast. Today we propose to
sketch briefly his general mode of life,
without dwelling upon any one of Ills
characteristics, Let us take the island of
Hilton Head, which is not mauy uiilcs
from Savannah and nearer still to Beau
fort, a dozen miles or more of whose mag
nificent beach is washed by Cululioge
sound and the Atlantic itself. Of the
island itself, it may be said that it is
about seventeen miles in length by about
five in width; that it is barren enough to
grow pea vines and nut grass indifferently,
and that, with the exception of perhaps
500 acres of cleared laud, it is densely
covered with pine, cedar and palmetto, in
whose thickets deer, turkey and smaller
game, notably the raccoon, abound. Of
the people who inhabit it, much more may
tie said. Several weeks ago the writer,
while temporarily seafaring, encountered
a terrific gale off Hilton Head and was
driven upon its arid shores, where he was
forced, whether or not, to remaiu for a
week. It may be well, in order the more
faithfully to describe the manners and
customs of the natives, to Bketcii briefly
our enforced sojourn among them, and
this we will endeavor to do.
“natives" on the beace.
It was late in August when the squall
struck ns. Onr boat was unwieldy and
anything but seaworthy, but with all
sails set we managed to keep her before
the wind, and clumsy as she was we flew
through the boiling breakers at a mad
Tate. We crossed Broad river furiously,
and onr landing, a most dangerons feat
under such circumstances, was accom
plished with marvelous good luck. HaV'
ing drawn onr craft into a creek, where
she found partial protection from the
aale, we turned our attention to the
“natives.” They had gathered upon the
beach in great numbers—men, women
and ehildren—viewing us with gaping
curiosity. Not that the sight of a boat
was a novelty, but that the strange faces
in it awoke astonishment, if not wonder.
The men were brawny, muscular fellows,
dressed in every variety of patched gar
ments; the women wore short frocks,
with no head or foot dress; the larger
children of either sex boasted a single
garment, Mother Hubbard in appearance,
and the younger children, probably from
10 and under, wore only—their skins.
.Amid this collection of human incon
gruity we made onr bow and begged to
be shown to the nearest hotel. An in
credulous guffaw, that rose in chorus
above the howling of the wind, answered
us, and we were pointed to the "lslant,”
-whose barrenness was decidedly intensi
fied by the woebegoneness of the numer
ous log huts that punctuated and em
phasised it.
Except that they were adorned with
clapboard roofs, these habitations were
models of pigpens, with a hole in one end
for a door and a clay chimney in the other.
They had once been clayed over—that Is,
the inch or so of space between the logs
had been stopped up with clay—but the
clay had long since been attracted by
gravitation, and the cracks had never been
refilled. There were no floors; mother
earth was ptenty good enough. There
were some benches and a pine table, but
no chairs Everything was smoke be
grimed, not excepting The Police Gazette
pictures that were pasted about In im
possible places. The f nmiture, other than
that already described, consisted for the
most part of tin pans Rnd cons, pots und
pails, dogs (and what dogs), cats (and oh,
what cats), and an occasional chicken
worth a quarter. There were also odors
of dried fish, and crab like odors, and sug
gestions of mud. There were occasional
optical illusions of watermelon rinds, And
quite often a glimpse of a raccoon Bkin
stretched proudly against some favored
square foot of smoothness. There were
fish scales, oyster shells, and crab backs
abundantly strewn about and plentifully
interspersed with the bones of forgotten
sharks.
CUSTOMS AND MANNERS.
All this wholesome sight we saw with
less of wonder than may be supposed, for
we had been among this people before,
who are a peculiar people, and who dwell
exclusively upon the islands of the Caro
lina coast. Bnt what of their customs and
manners? Well, they live on fish, oysters,
crabs and other productions of the salt
water. They plant potatoes, corn and
cotton and they make enough by this
means to clothe themselves, or more ac
curately to half clothe themselves, bnt
they seldom make anything over. Their
corn and some of their potatoes are put
aside to be eaten throngh the season (or as
long as it lasts rather) with the fish in
prospect, but the fish in prospect is uni
versally depended upon to keep the wolf
from the door. The cotton and the pota
toes, except the remnant mentioned, to
gether with a slim supply of chickens and
eggs, are taken to Savannah or Beaufort
In broken lots and exchanged for clothing
and “part cash." This la a hasty out
line of their customs. As to their man
ners, they have none. They do exact lv
as they please in all things. They dress as
they please, go where they please, and say
what they please after their manner of say
ing it. Their children, male and fcinnle,
are taught to row and fish from infancy,
and many a boat load of darky damsels
have we seen battling manfully (?) with
the waves. And their language! great
Ctesar. It is ear splitting—simply mon
strous. We shall not attempt to describe
it, since we have attempted it before and
failed.
To conclude, this people, we verily be
lieve, is the happiest people upon earth.
What have they to worry or distress them?
What to concern them at all, save tlio
finding of bait and the finding of flsli. and
the occasional catching of a coon, nil of
which is a separate delight ami concerns
them only in so much as it gives them
pleasure. And the man of the world—ol
the different, the widely different world—
who is given to see and reflect upon this
exclusive and peculiar people, can but say
to himself afterward, “here ‘ignorance is
bliss.’ ”—Augusta (Ga.) Gazette.

THE IRISH JAUNTING CAR.
An American Corieepnndent’s Amusing
Experience In Dublin.
The jaunting car is the great feature ol
street life in Dublin. It is the popular
method of conveyance. It will hold two
people on each side besides the driveT.
The regular fare for their use is two shil
lings for the first hour and eighteen pence
for the next. You learn this after you
have paid nil kinds of prices. These
jaunting car drivers are perfectly merci
less in their charges unless you make a
bargain with them beforehond. No mat
ter how liberal you muy thiuk you are in
paying them, these drivers always look as
reproachfully at you as if you were at
tempting to rob them.
The Irish drivers in the streets of Dub
lin are the moBt wreckless of any I ltuve
ever seen. Their horses are tough and
wiry, and are always driven nearly on the
dead run. At the slightest opportunity
the driver forces his horse into a gallop.
As the streets are very uneven nnd badly
paved, riding on a jaunting car gives
much more exercise than ordinary horse
back riding. The first driver I had
overcharged me in such a stupendous
way that he could not keep his face
straight when he named his price. Then,
after roaring at his own avArlce, he
calmly lowered the price himself and an
nounced that he would take so much. I
paid it to him, tolling him that I knew it
was double his fare. After he had re
ceived it he burst ont. in another roar.
“You are right; it is about double, but it
isn’t every day we get a chance,” and
then went off in perfect convulsions of
amusement over his successful strike at
the stronger.
The exoemdvo volubility of the drivers is
marvelous. They won’t drive you well
unless yon let them talk. They get sulky
directly and make it up by extra charges.
They are much better natured to each
other than the English cabbies. The first
night I was ont my driver ran the shafts
of his car full till into the back of another
car. I thought for a moment that he
would take toe>ack of the head car off.
But he backed his horse off, and when the
driver he had rnn into looked angrily back
at him he said: “Look ahead of you, my boy.
Never look behind when you are driving. ’’
And with this he swung out to the right
and passed his friend’s wheel by about a
quarter of an inch; going on the dead
bolt down Sackville street. The aggrieved
fellow grinned at the assurance of his
associate and stopped looking behind.
The last man I had continually called
my attention to the beautiful block Irish
mare attached to his car. He told me
she oould moke ten miles an hour day in
and day ont for years. He would let her
go for sixty guineas. I pretended to mis
understand and said I did not think she
was worth six guineas. This made my
driver indignant, and be spent the next
fifteen or twenty minutes in trying to tip
me off, by whirling suddenly around
corners, or spinning his car along on one
wheel down some dark street or slippery
lane. Bnt yet on the whole they were so
much more Interesting and amtislng than
the English cabbies, because they met
every possible situation with such wit
and with such assuranoe. Wednesday
afternoon I asked one car driver how
much he would charge to drive me out to
the horse Bhow nnd back, about a mile dis
tant. He promptly responded half a
guinea, without a blink. The next man
was ready to go for two shillings. This
extraordinary drop did not decompose the
first driver. He stepped forward as if I
were going with him as a matter of course,
saying in the most contemptuous way, in
speaking of the two shilling man, “He
will not be able to give you such a drive
as I will.” As I was not engaged at that
particular time in buying any fanciful
kind of superior Irish driving at a high
class figure 1 went with the two shilling
man.—T. C. Crawford in New York

The Persian's Lack of Cleanliness*
As the Persiuns ure filthy beyond be
lief in their personal habits, it is no un
usual thing to see a high dignitary giving
himself airs in n coat glittering with pre
cious stoues and resplendent with gold,
while vermin are daintily picking their
way between the clusters of diamonds on
his breast, in full view of his royal master.
Their public baths, although they num
ber by the hundred in each of the larger
towns, prevent cleanly habits rather than
promote them. The water in the common
tanks not alone serves for the ablutions
of hundreds, but is changed only twice a
week as a rule, while the towels furnished
are never washed, and only hung out to
fry in the broiling sun along toe mud
walls of the bathing establishment. Dis
eases dne to or aggravated by uncleanli
ness are, therefore, frightfully common in
Persia, even among small children. As
for their clothes, they put them on, like
the Chinese, layer after layer, as the
weather grows colder, and peel them
selves again in the same fashion as the
sun waxes fiercer and fiercer. They
always sleep, men and women, in ut least
ena full suit of clothes, and during the
winter in a half dozen, covering their
heads tightly with a quilted skull cap,
afterward drawing the coverlet over the
bead, and thus preventing the fresh air
from getting into their lungs.—Wolf Von
Schierbrand in The Cosmopolitan.

Georgia's Applied Zoology.
Little Georgie, after his mother hail pre
pared him for bod, while still in her lap
used to say his evening prayer. One
night he said: “I don't want to say my
prayers iu this way,” and getting out of
his mother’s lap he knelt down before her
and, placing his open hands together, re
peated his prnycr. When his father heard
of this he was much interested. He al
ways felt that this was the proper attitude
in prayer in the family and iu the closet.
As nothing had been said to Georgie on
the subject, he thought it was evidence of
a sort of natural religion. “Georgie,”
said his father, "do you suppose God likes
to have yon say your prayers this way
better than the way you used to?” “Oh,
I don’t suppose God cares anything about
It. I was thinking of the kangaroo. ” lie
had lately been to the menagerie and seen
that animal sitting on its haunches with
Its fore feet placed together somewhat as
he placed his hands in saying ids pruyers.
The father, in relating this incident, says
that it took all his notions that it had any
thing to do with natural religion out of
him.—Boston Traveller.
The Sword Dham.
A skillful armorer forged the sword
Dham which came into the possession of
the celebrated Bedouin poet-hero Antar.
That famous blade was made from a
thunderbolt that had slain one of the
chief’s camels, and w hen the smith deliv
ered it, with natural pride, to his patron,
lie observed: “This sword is sharp, oil
chief of the trtfie of Glmylib—sharp in
deed: but where is the smiter for this
sword?” Quoth the chieftain: “As for
the smiter—I am lie,’’ and instantly
struck off ttie smith’s head, so that then
should never tie another sword Dliaml—

Illa Kindness Toward Bl* Clerks—Visit*
Ing the Nick and Those In Prison.
Perhaps something of the senator’s kind neat
of heart may be well shown by bis treatment
of his succeeding clerks when they were UL
One of them was suffering from an attack of
of fever and ague. He occupied a room in tb#
senator’s house. The shakes were followed
by a fever that had drenched the poor fellow
in perspiration and left him exhausted. Ha
had no knowledge of the peculiar nature of
the disease, and thought himself very ill; but
tlie senator, who had seen him from time to
time, pooh-poohed the idea, and urged him to
rise, dress and dine with him when he would
meet some pleasant people. Ho tried to rise,
hut was too weak. The senator said that ho
would s on put strength into him, and bring
ing a bottle of rare old Burgundy and a gob-
let of cracked ice, filled the glass; then rais
ing the poor fellow’s head on bis knees, ho
hold the glass while the clerk drank the con
tents. Its effect was magical; it was a draft
upon his Intent strength, nnd ho was enabled
to appear at dinner nnd play bis part well
with bis knife and fork, and to assist really
in entertaining the guests present.
Afterward another of his clerks was tem
porarily ill, hut so much so that he was
forced to keep his bed. Ho had brought hfs
lie and child with him, and they were liv
ing in such rooms as it was possible to ob»
tain in Washington during the war. While
they answered their purpose, they were not
exactly fitted for the reception of visitors.
One day the lady was surprised and embar
rassed by finding tlio senator at her door,
smilingly demanding to see his sick friend.
The clerk got well rapidly, and was soonabl®
to attend to his business again, and he felt*
that the call was made in ail kindness and
sympathy.
At one time his private secretary became
quite ill and remained so for some weeks.
The senator kept himself well informed os to
his condition, and when he began to get tet
ter, arranged for him a long trip into health
giving regions; auS finding that financial
reasons precluded tiie hiking of the prescrilied
journey, he sent him u check os an advance
payment for future services. The invalid
was ns much encouraged by the senator’s evi
dent belief that he would certainly be ablo to.
resume his functions ns by the trip itself; at
any rate, tetwoen the two ho recovered his
strength, and his family attributed his recov
ery largely to the senator’s kindness.
He not only visited the sick, but those also
who were in prison. The New Bedford
schooner called the Pearl sailed for the north
in 1848 from Washington with seventy-si*
escaping slaves on board. She was pursued
and brought back, the slaves were sent to their
owners, and the captain, Mr. Drayton, with
the mate, Mr. Sayres, were imprisoned in tho
Washington city jail for having tho negroe*
on board of their vessel. Mr. Sumner often
visited these poor men, nnd he also did what
he could for their comfort. He ofteu visited
others who also in his opinion were Improp
erly incarcerated. He had little time for
mere social culls; nnd the time came finally
when his own strength left him to such an
extent that he uvuiled himself of tho privilege
of the oldest memter of the senate—Pater
Senatus he was called—and ho seldom re
turned a call, nnd hardly made one except
from time to time upon a sick friend, or
when tho exigencies of etiquotte made it ex*
tremely necessary.—Arnold Burges Johnson

Naval Strength of the World.
It appears from tho “Universal Register*
for 1887, issued by tho committee of “Lloyd’s
Register of British uml Foreign Shipping,”
that “Great Britain has 0 guns capable of
penetrating 30 inches of unbacked iron, nnd
10otliers which can penetrate 28 inches of
the same material. Italy has 90 guns which
can penetrate 33 inches of iron. France 14.
guns which can pierce 27 inches, and 14 oth
ers able to iKMictrate 95 inches of unbacked
iron. Russia lms 20 guns and Spain 2 equal
to tho penetration of 24 inches of iron, and
no other power has any guns capable of an
equivalent result. In other words, of gum
able to penetrate 24 inches of unbacked iron,
Fraoo bos 28; Italy, 20; Russia, 20; Spain, 2;
and Grent Britain, 22. Next, regarding the
speed of their war ships, wo find the several
powers stand as follows:
“Ships of 20 knots and above: England, I;
France, 1; Italy, 10; Spain, 2, und other
Euroi>eaii nations, 4. Of 10 knots speed
England lias 11 ships; France, 10; Germany,
0; Italy, 2, and other nations, 0. Of 18 knot
ships England has 5; France, 7; Germany, 3;
Italy, 0, and other nations, 0. Our supremacy
is, however, chiefly seen in 17 knot ships, of
which wo have 25, mounting 181 guns;
France, 4 of 20 guns; Ituly, 5 of 40 guns; and
other nations, 4 of 10 guns. England has It
ships of 00 guns that can steam 10 knots,
whereas Franco has 11 only of 58 guns. At US
knots France teats us with 10 ships of 214
guns, as compared with our 12 ships of 126
guns; and at 14 knots Franco has 28 ships of
334 guns, whereas wo have only 15 ships of
252 guns. Summarizing these figures, it up-
pears that with speeds above 14 knots wa
have 80 ships of 705 guns; France, 60 of 60&
guns; Germany, 115 of 285 guns, and Italy, 41
of 201 guns.”
Out of a total mercantile tonnage now
afloat of 90,943,050, Great Britain und her
colonies own 10,539,130. The total steam
mercantile tonnage of the world is 10,531,843,
and of this Great Britain and her colonie*
own no less than 0,595,871, or nearly two-
thirds of tho whole.—Scientific American.
It Was Nothing Serious.
In one of tho city’s most select and quiet
localities, the other evening, cries of alarm
and repeated calls for the police were heard
issuing from a house occupied by a most re-
spectablo family, and tho neighborhood be
came greatly alarmed. All sorts of conjec
tures wero indulged in. some fearing that
murder was iu progress, while others believed
that a burglar had been encountered. Just
as the police reached the house the noise sub
sided, the door was quietly opened, and the
gentleman at tho head of that particular
household came out and remarked to tho
officers that ho was sorry for the disturbance
occasioned; but there was no serious trouble.
A gentleman lodger was exnloring the kitchen,
in the dark, for some refreshment, nnd bad
put his foot into a trap which th** c»»ok bad
set to catch u particularly thievish rodent.

Float Fishing u Hollow Mockery.
Float lulling, tho old fashioned country sort
of angling, is now being reduced to a hollow
mockery by the aid of electricity. “An nr-
rail relic nt has been devised," says Tho
E.ectrician, “by which n pull on the line
closes the circuit of u tiny battery curried in
ti..• ba n of the* rod, and this i- made either to
sound mi alarm or to gently tickle tlu* bund
of tii" fisherman as be groups the butt. Noth
ing now hinders the sportsman from going to
sleep.” Float fishing is evidently the thing
for people who lit:* to carry along a big can
