Romantic Experience of A Piunce i.y" Slave A Strange Story i of the Old Plantation Days.' r From Farmer ami Mechanic. On a high bluff overlooking the Cape Fear River was the country seat of Governor Owen Owen Hill. In the rear of the house were miles of aromatic, health-bearing pine forests, whose dark forms at this season of the year were covered with a profu sionof the fragrant yellow jessamine. The perfume of these flowers is sweet er than the orange blossoms or mag nolia, and the boatman on the river could detect the delicious oders for many a mile after lie had passed O.ven Hill.. To this . retreat Governor John Owen," oi North Carolina, used to come when wearied "' with political cares.. This old home was the flavor ed resort of his. wife, and children, and here they insisted on ramaining as much as possible. While Governor Owen was at Owen Hill, the genial and gossipy captain of the Fayette--ville steamer that plied between Fay ettevllle and Wilmington would stop his boat at the landing at Owen Hill and tell the Governor the news of the two towns. In this way Governor Owen heard of a runaway slave who had been caught toear Fayetteville, lurking in the woods. The fugitive could not speak one word of English ; bat spoke fluently, and with grace ful gesture, a langua eno one could understand. He was placed in jail to await developments, and the discovery of his master.' The walls of his cell, so the captain of the steamer related, were covered with strange characters, traced iii charcoal or chalk, which no scholar in Fayetteville could decipher. The negro who waited on him in jail- a? well as the astounded jailor, had car ried the news of this strange creature into the town, and clergymen, teach ers, lawyers and judges had tried in vain to read the writing on the wall. Something in the man's bearing made the jailor treat him with" considera tion, and the negro servitors looked upon hi mas a "conjuror." His hair was straight- His features and form were as perfect as those of an Apollo Belvidere. The boatman's story made such an impression on both -Governor Owen and his brother, General Owen, who lived on the opposite bank in a home almost as beautiful as Owen Hill, that they determined to'go with the talk- n and see this negro the r Oovern thin -'Si r-.v a 11(1 in A low lirinh a-.'uiii;i Aai mu rptylwl inffn MfTrtTrffnTorijli had escaped from a cruel overseer near Charleston, S. C. ' Jle had been taken nrisoner bv nesrroes off the coast of Africa and sold to white traders. A Charleston planter had purchased him from these traders and sent him to his cotton plantation. The overseer was a coarse, brutal, ignorant man ana, threatened to strike Omeroh. This was too much for the high-spirited Arabian, who, as was afterward as certaiued, was 40 years old, and had been a hereditary prince of the Fou- lah tribe in Arabia, i .Being neet footed, tall and strong he succeeded in escaping to North Carolina.' Here he was arrested, and I have a dim recollection of hearing that the she- ritf thought his explanations, made in Arabic, were theravijgs of a lunatic. In the meantime' Governor Owen had become so much interested in Omeroh and the interest seemed to be mutual, for the poor captive was Instinctively drawn toward the court ly gentleman who treated hiiii so kindly that when the Charlestoniau came to claim his property, Governor Owen paid him about $900 or $1,000, and became Omeroh 's master. Wil lingly he went with Gov. Owen to Owen Hill. He. he was -allowed to wander at will, and a neat cabin was furnished him. Here was patiently taught to speak Engl ishj and told his own story to his noble hearted master. Omeroh was a devout Mohammedan. Under the careful tutelage of Gov. and Gen. Owen aud the Presbyterian clergy, who were always at home at Owen Hill, he became a christian. The English idioms puzzled him, and he asked Gov. Owen to . get him a Bible in his own tongue. 'This re quest Gov. Owen complied , with at considerable expense aud trouble. After Omeroh 's . death this Bible in Arabic was presanted to the' library of Davidson College, .'where it can now be eeen bearing the marks of Uncle Moro's constant use. "Uncle Moro" was the name by which he was addresrsed by the children of the family. He was baptized by the pastor of the Presbyterian church in Fayette ville, and became a member of that church. His membership w as after ward transferred to the First Presby terian Church of Wilmington, N. C, of which church he died a communicant- Soon after he became a Presby terian Governor Owen offered him his freedom. Omeroh declined it. - He said he had a w ife and child in Arabia,. hn li:id Vouhtless forirotten him. and that lie feared he could not convert his tribe by going to them. He was insfalVd head butler at Owen Hill. Olteu he. would siton the- broad v r- andahs of th house and let ; the chil dren climb on his knees, while he would tell them Strang stories of his native Arabia.

There . is no doubt, however, that he is the nflit remarkable of his tribe ever broughf to this country, and is now perhaps the only one of - his , nation Jiving in tiie United States. One of the same was sent back to Africa as early" as 1733 by Oglethorpe, another was ran somed and sent to Liberia in 1838; besides these, not more than two Fou 'ah's were known in 185,5 within the limits of the Southern States. Ome roh was brought to this 'country in 1807, just before, tlie final abolition of slave trade." ; ' Omeroh used to write quaint j sent ences in Arabic on paper and nail it on the pine trees around Owen Hill, telling the neighbors they must not take him away from his good master. The neighbors were never any the wiser, for Uncle Moro's Arabic was unintelligible to them, and Uncle Moro soon learned that Governor and General Owen would, protect him in , every way; Years after Uncle Moro's death a member of the family receiv ed the following from a devout mis sionary : "Did I ever tell you how the Lord carried out the desire of good old Uncle Moro's heart, and made him the means of sending the Bible to his tribe iu Africa? If not, here it is: The interest taken in the good man led to care.

Both when it ' was ready, then the way was opened, Uncle Moro's long prayer had been answered, and the Bible is in the hands of the most intelligent and least known tribe of the interior of Africa. I know you will feel a deep interest in this, for is it not a great measure the fruit of the deep piety of your own household ? I Jiave one of Omeroh's manucripts framed and hung in my study," Uncle Moro was forty years old when Governor Owen bought him. He lived at Owen. Hill for forty nine years. When, he died, as was the ca"e during his life, his remains were treated with as much-respect as if h3 had been a member of the family. He sleeps in the family graveyard Jit Owen Hill and his photograph is yalu4 ed by all the surviving -decendants of Governor and General Oweri as that of a cherished member of their house hold and friend., I ;.. Governor John Owen, Omeroh's master, was, when a 3'oung man, a member of North Carolina's House and Senate. He was elected Gover nor iil28. Iii 18301 he ?came witfi in one vote of defeating Hon. Willie P. Mangum for the U. .S'. Senate. The, contest between these two"" gentlemen became so exciting that it would have ended in a duel butfor the interfer ence of friend.
