7 The Ghronicle. : n t-'t 1 Mfc P ... . . r. WILKEBBORO. N. C 'Th Boston- Board -of Education is going to abolish flogging in; the public schools. About 20,000 pupils arc flogged every year. Of all the pests that afflict the South African farmer,' there appears to be none to compare .-with the' prickly pear. It fastens , especially uponj the good lands, and is officially reported to be at this moment destroying portions of the best and most fertile soil, both public and " private, that the colony possesses . In a report upon the cultivation of barley, prepared by M J Tissernn d , Direc tor of Agriculture in France, it is estimated that the world's; annual . production of this grain is 82,000,000 bushels, of which three-fourths are grown in Europe, and the remainder, in the United States, Canada, Chili, India, Australia, Japan, Tunis and 'Algeria. Tho -tal ; value is estimated at about 8800,0,000. ; A New Yorker, who has recently spent some time in the literary circles of Lon- don, says that there must be at least 100 biographies of Mr.; Gladstone already in manuscript, awaiting the event of his death, at which time they will be' ready for publication in book form. Beside - these manuscripts, there are to be found in the pigeon holes of ail the newspaper of -frees sketches of the aged statesman's life, in readiness for the dispatches announc ing the end of his career that may be re ceived at ahy time. It is said that' Mr. Gladstone has seen some of these biogra- pines and sketches, and' he himself has ' prepared memoranda for the u$e of some of his biographers. The census returns show, muses th Boston Cultivator j that, like the Indian and the buffalo, range cattle are becom ing a thing of the past. With the con stant encroachments of the homesteader and the farm, Che mining towns and cities that are springing up all "over what was once thejalmost boundless "range," the days of the vast herds, and to a great extent of .the the cow-boy, are numbered. Thus the evolution goes" on; first the savage and the native buffalo, then the half-wild cattle with their half-civilized attendants ; and then . the farm, the city, f and civilization. Where the vast terri tory in its wild condition supported the few, millions under civilization will lead peaceful' and happy" lives. "Ring out the old, ring in the new." . In the estimation of West Shore "the barbarity of the dark ages never pro duced a more revolting scene than that witnessed in the capital of Spain a few days ago, when the body of a woman who had suffered death bygarroting was left, a horrible and repulsive spectacle, exposed to the vulgar gaze of the public for ten hours. A people that can employ such a brutal method for executing prison ers aud maintain such a hideous custom ot exposure after death to the gaze of the populace, can not expect to make much progress as a nation ,or as individuals. It is to eliminate as much as possible from legal extinction of life all that is brutal in its nature and demoralizing and , embruting in its effects upon the people, that electric execution is urged so strongly by- men of sound thought in this country. To give a criminal a painless death is far less necessary than to give him a , mode of dispatch that shall help'to lessen the brutish and savage instincts in our nature as a people. "For the welfare of those outside of jail, rather than for those in side, the hangman's noose, the guillotine, the garrotting collar and the knout must go where the red hot iron, the rack, the wheel and the headsman's axe have pre-, ceeded them." ' ; . ' ; Distinctly suggestive, observes the New -York Sun, is the lawsuit which has been brought under Benjamin Franklin's will, probated in 1790. This good year of grace is 1890. The sum of $100,000 : is held under, the will to be lent to young mechanics ; to aid them in setting up in their trades. The conditions of industry . have so changed that young mechanics can, no longer set up in trade in the way , contemplated ' by the testator. So the , purpose of the trust fails, and his de- scendants claim the money. But sup pose another 100 years or 200 years to v have passed, and who shall say that we , may not have attainedsto the pressurebf - Chinese life and that we, " too, may not inhibit the use of "power," and get back to the handicraft? - Then who shall take , .the endowments of our technical schools whose occupation will be gone? And at such a day B. Franklin's fund would re- - sume its function. In the past 100 years it has "multiplied twenty-fold,, namely J - from 65000 to $100,000..' " At the same rate of increase the coming century would see it swollen- to $2,000,000. And this would be a pretty sum to help youriir fellows start in life at a tirne whea u steam engine should be a misdemeanant and a railway a public nuisance. T dr; FT1NG XOWK. : :, .

Kate MAClcary, in New York Letlger," CAPTURED BY 1IALAYS. I saw in a Singapore paper the other day the statement that no less than five trading veisete hail ins from, that port vere long Overdue from the Java Sea, ind that there were grave reasons to fear they had alien into the hands of the Malays. Siich a statement has an odd ound to th j reader who is not well posted m the local ity and its surroundings. The Java Sea, rhich separates Borneo from Java, contains over a thousand islands, great and small.' Macassar Straits, to the east of Borneo, contains . almost as many moie. From Batavia, booking lorth, the Chinese Sea Ls studded with slands for 2000 miles. It is an old say ng among sailors t Wl"lOYl notnrn nvoifnrl T?-v- o V - neant that every man who ever lived on he island should be u pirate." j That four-fifths of the coast people iave for tie last 200 years been engaged n this business, no one doubts. The lalays hold the sea front, while tho Jyaks and other tribes hold the interior.' While piiacy by organized fleets no longer exists, every Malay craft stands ready to d j business on its own hook. I was captured by a single craft, and a fmall one nt that, an:l will now give you the partici lars. The English firm of Warner & Hill, at Batavia, employed three or four smalt trading sc looners to cruise amonjr the islands after fine woods, furs, shells, hides, roo s,' dyestuff, etc. I was left in Batavii ' off an English steamer, my father hav ng died on the voyage, and the firm spoken of gave me a berth on the Orient one of their schooners. She was of dii etv tons burden, and carried a Captain, Jmate, cook, two foremast hands and a boy. The Captain stood his watch tun i and turn about, aud the cook was, on ca 11 as a sailor. This gave us three hards to a watch, which made handling he craft an easy matter. We took out axes, hatchets, powder, lead, hoes, seec s, shoes, and various trinkets, and more or less money, and as an arms- ent we had seven or eight good mus kets. Tli is -was my third trip, and we left Batavia for an island called Anello. This js si uated about forty miles south of ; the southeast point of Borneo, and at that time was an island containing -about 1200 people. "Wo reached it after a pleasant r m, and for the next week were anchored in a bay on the north side. In this time we had secured about half a cargo, an I It the end of the week were ready to rpanchor and sail for another island to the south. . The King of Anello-wanted to prove his frienc ship for us, andtherefore made a banque to which all were invited. No doubt all f would have gone, but that afternoon ! I accidentally cut my ; foot, and it pa ned me so much that I begged to remain aboard as shipkeeper. All thers went ashore at sundown. Ave lay within 200 feet of the beach, and the village was rWht there. Several large fires were built, and I could sec and hear most evervthinsr.' 'It was a warm, balmy night, and after a while I lay down on deck, an J, despite tne noise on shore, went to sleep. , When I opened my eyes 'again sone one was , tying my wrists, having a ready neatly performed that job on my ankles. As I tried to sit up I re ceived a smart tap on the head from a club, ana a' voice which I knew belonged to a Malay warned me to be quiet. I had picked up enough of. the lingo to under stand what he meant, and as I caught sight of Sve or six other figures on deck, and also realized that the schooner was in motion, I lay back and kept quiet. : : The c aft was in the hands of tho Malays: ! They had sneaked into the har bor iradi x cover of f darkness, cut her hempen cable, and she had drifted out with the tide. She must have been a mile off shore when I awoke, for they now proceeded to get her head around and giv her sail. In about an hour tho leader of the gang approached me and cast off rny bonds, and motioned me into fo'castle; . .1 was glad enough to go, for I was in a terrible fright I had aeea Malays about Batavia often enough, but had been told that the real residents f Borneo wete a cruel and savage lot. and that au Englishman, unfortunate enough to .fall into-' their hand could hopo for no mercy. . There was a fine and favorable breeze, and the fellows on deck knew how to handle the craft. She was kept going all night, and no flustered was I that my eyes did not shut for a minute. About 8 o'clock in the raorning;we ran info a har bor on the south side of the island of Laut. which is on 1 he southeast coast of Borneo, and separated from the mainland by a narrow channel, f As the anchor went down I: was ordered on deck. We were in a land-locked harbor, and not over 100 feet off the beach. Right op posite was a large village, and several hundred people had rushed down to the shore to yell and cheer. A dozen sam pans were soon alongside, and into one of these I was, placed and taken ashore. . A white man was no j great curiosity to the natives, even at that day, and I was scarcely noticed as I was conducted through the crowd to a hut in the centre of the villa sje. There was onlv a mat hanging at the door, but they well knew iuab uu juui4 uctutu . kc?i hic i there. It was noon before, they gave me any thing to eat or drinkj and then I waa told that I might walk about the village if I desired. I didn't care to take ad vantage of the offer, but sat in the door of my hut and saw them haul the schooner ashore and land her cargo. There were over two hundred men engaged about ber. While some broke out the cargo, others went stripping her of sails and cordage. Before dark there was nothing left but a bare hull and two masts. The bowsprit and topgallant masts were sent ashore, and everything was taken out except the ballast. . I don't think they left a foot of rope or r chain, and f' every Board or beam they could get at was taken away. The last thing was cutting away the masts. Soon after they went overboard the hull floated off the sand, and they then towed her out of the bay and scuttled her. As fast as the cargo was lanaed it was taken to two large storehouses in the centre of the village, and bad our Cap tain arrived at sundown in pursuit of his craft he' would have found nothing what ever on the beach- to tell him what had occured.' About dark a woman brought me food and drink, and seeing that I was in pain with my, foot she brought brought water aud washed it and then bound it up with some bruised leaves of a soothing ; nature. She quite won my heart by her kindness, and I was led to hope that my lot might not be so wretched after all. As far as I. could see no guard was placed nt the door, nor was any one appointed to watch me. There were as many as fifty sampans on the beach in plain view, and one night's paddling to tho south would have brought inc to an island.- They reasoned correctly, how ever. I did not have the nerve to risk it. A boy at sea in a canoe without food, water or compass would be as badly off as anion tho Malays on shore. Next morning, after breakfast, the head man sent for me. He was a chap of great dignity; and evil look, but the capture of - the schooner had put him in rood humor. He-asked me where she belonged, hpw long she -had been out, and many other questions, by which he sought to ascertain what sort of an in vestigation might follow. He examined my foot, which was now alcost well, and then called in an attendant, who conduct ed me to ' the storehouses. The hoes, axes and hatchets were without handles. and I was now given to understand that I must go to work and fit them up. wasn't much of a mechanic, but wa pleased enough with the job." I over hauled the carpenter's chest for tools, and then started into the forest to search for timber. A dozen or more half-grown boys followed me, and while some of them were inclined to play mc tricks to get up a laugh, they offered me no vio lence. Indeed, at tho end of half an hour we were all on a friendly footing. I found a tree which is called 'back ya" in Borneo, but which lias the grain and fibre of English elm. There wa one axe with a 'handle, we having used it on shipboard.' This I, had brought along, aud I j now . proceeded to fell the tree, which was about a foot thick -and very straight and tall. The boys were as ton-, ished j beyond measure at my way of handling the axe. The Bornese use a hatchet, and strike while squatted on the ground. It would have taken a man two hours to accomplish what I did in fifteen minutes. j I found the wood easy to rive, and that day began a task whi;h occupied me for the next three months. During this time I was fairly well used, though given none too much to eat. The man who had first planned my work for me con tinued to be my boss, and once a day, at least, jcame around to see me. As none of thes Bornese would use a crooked han dle inanaxe, I had to make them all straight. ! The village j waivery compact, the houses almost touching each other, while about twenty acres of land to the' north i of it was under cultivation. It was the ? villaire jrardenL and one day tfter I had : ... I . I finished my job and was working in this J gaiden the woman who had exhibited such (kindness on my first arrival came out to me and j told mc that I had been sold to the ruler of another island to the east of us. And hour before her coming I had seen a large native craft put in, and could not! doubt that she belonged to my new owner. . The woman's object in warning me-was that I might take to the woods, but I hesitated to go. I knew the forests to abound with venomous reptiles and savage wild beasts, and I would be defenceless. And, too, I had heard that theDyaksand other interior tribes were as bad or worse than the Mai lays,' and to cut and run would mean walking into their, hands. It was in the afternoon when the woman came out. I continued work until almost sundown, and then decided to hide out and see if I could not steal a sampan during the night and be off . Our ruler was giving a feast to the other, and revelry ran high. It was owing to this fact I made the movo I did, hoping I would no br missed. " , It had come ten o'clock at eight, r.n J I was about 'to quit rny bMirg place iod i go to the beach when there came a sud Ltn aa awful explosion. I wis on my reel and wis thrown down, and daring ihejnert minute the air seemed, to be choked with flaming brands, while many boards and sticks fell around me-- When I stood up and looked down into the vil lage I saw only a great heap of debris, and! that was on fire. I at once hastened to Uie spot. A few people were rushing aroond ina crazy way, and others were Ijidg oa the ground and shouting over the pain of their injuries.-. I could not ace-fone single hut standing. I soon fig ureijl out what had happened. The liquors and the powder' were kept in the same storehouse. Some one had been sent for more drink, and his carelessness had caused an explosion. No one paid tnej slightest attention to me, and after a few; minutes I' ran down to the beach. There were plenty of sampans there, and I selected one and hastily shoved off. The Taig craft 'was at anchor below me, and when I had passed her it occurred to me Xhat her crew were all on shore, and that I could board her and secure pro- i9ioas. j. pui aooui bdu ran alongside. bad was taking care of herself, and, as I felc her tugging at her anchor, and re alized that the tide was going out, the tnougnt came to me to take her. I didn't wait to reason about it, but ran forward and began sawing away at the hempen cable with the old pockctknife which I had ; brought with me to the island and carefully guarded ever since. It soon parted, and at the vessel drifted out: of the bay I worked her around with her head off. shore. She was what is called a Kampoug, fitted for both rowing and sailing, and, boy that I was, I gave her enough of the big mainsail to sod her off shore at the rate of four or five miles an hour. When daylight came I coupd not see the island from the deck, bub before sunrise I was alongside of a Jaa trader coming up from the South and! among friends. It was three months before I got back to Batavia, and it waa only then that the firm knew how the schooner was lost. Captain and crew had believed that she slipped her moor ings and drifted out to sea to be lost. A year later a Malay, who had a brother in the village destroyed, told me that not over a dozen people escaped death or serious, injury.
