Copyrighted 1893, by Stevens fe Farrell. A COLONIAL PLANTATION. NOTES ON CAPE FEAR HISTORY. COMPILED BY JAMES WILMINGTON, N. Cv- ARTICLE XXXVI. In an old volume published in Dub- lin 1737 entitled "The Natural History J 01 .oriu iaroima wun an account or the Trade, Manners and Customs of the Christian and Indian Inhabitants, &c, &c." by John Brickell "M.D." we find very interesting reference made' to the Capo Fear section in quaint and curious style from which we quote at length. Somejof the good Doctor's statements may be taken Curh grano salt's notably that of the depth of Cape Fear Barr which he says was 7 fathoms or 42 feet, the remarkable blunder in statinjr that we have no tides and the' error of latitude which is 34. 14.06 not 33-53. Doubtless he took some information on hearsay and much more from better authorities, as Dr. T. F. Wood says that Brickell pirated nearly all of his eo-called natural his tory frein Law son. 'There'is much of interest and value however in Brick ell's narative which is as follows: '-('ape Fear Inlet lyes in the Lati tudeof 33 Degrees 53 minuter, it is the best in all North Carolina, where and can come with safety to an Anchor r. T .-., r;., a-., " L notwithstanding it is so commodious for Navigation, yet few or no Planters settled here till within these few years, but now in all Appearance, it seems to be the most rising Partof all this Province; there being now many Sub stantial Planters settled there and are become very Rich within the space of Nine or Ten Years, it being little fre quented or inhabited before that Time, viz , in the Year 1723. The Planters for the most part Live by the Water side, few or, none living in the Inland parts of the Country at present, though the Lands, are as good and fertile as any that are yet Inhabi- ted; but not so commodious for Car- riage as by the Water, for most part of the Plantations run but a mile back into the Woods, so that between every n;VOr hn trocf '.Tracts rf a. w v - J vm n v awwv vvw v a. i Land lying waste or inhabited only by Wild Beasts. What is worthy of Observation is, That almost every Planter may have a convenient Dock upon his Plantation, and a sufficient Quantity of good Timber to build Ships and Boats withal. The R:cer whereof there are several Sorts, some Bearded, others not, be-. side tho White and the Red, but the White is best. The Rice of Carolina is esteemed as good as any brought to Europe, and is of a prodigious Increase yielding from eight Hundred to a Thousand for one measure that is sown, It grows best in their Wet and wild to be met with, not only to Strangers Land that hath not been cultivated or but likewise to those who by any mis broken up before.

The Sky is generally very serene and clear, and the Air very thin and pure; and though we have but little Rain, yet the constant Dews that fall in the Night sufficiently refresh the Ground and supply the Plants with Moisture. The North West Winds in the Win- ter occasion very sharp and piercing Weather, the NortlrEast WTinds blow- ing in the Winter, bring with them thick Weather and in the Spring some times Blight the Corn and Fruits of -a ' I. 1 a. 1 J a! nn m . a n ri rm i vow a;u i 1 wv nfirii iiiiim .w... .long, oeing carnea on oy we-teny Winds which are tne most pleasant and healthful we have m these parts of the World. And though these Northerly Winds cool the Air in Sum mer and are very piercing in the Win- ter, yet they are of no Continuance. Southerly Winds cause very hot and unwholesome Weather, anq ouen occa . ... eion Fevers and other disorders in thesa Parts. The Spring ajid Fall aro the most 3eliehtful and pleasant Sea- sons of the Year; befng neither too Hot or too Cold7 and though these Seasons W verv nearcinff. vet the Cold is of no Duration, and art in A t h Winds shifting from One point to the other; for Southerly Winds will occasion it to be warm in the midst of Winter, with us in April, and the North East ' Winds will on the contrary make it cold in the midst of Summer. The Weather is generally pretty moderate till after Christmas; then the Winter comes on apace, and continues van- able till the middle of February, ac- cording to the Winds, sometimes warm and pleasant, at other times Rain. Snow, or FVneta hut t.h T. la cnW t ' , seldom so strong as to hold a mans weight. In the vpar 1730. we had the most agreeable and pleasant Sum- mer that has been known for many years, and the Winter most severe. In the Months of August and Sep tember we frequently have very great Storms and Squals of Wind, and it is remarkable for two or three Days be- fore they break forth, that the Clouds 'eem to hang down very thick and pressing towards the Earth, and scarce a breath of Wind to be per celved for the said time they are sometimes so very violent, that they make Lanes through the Woods by thing, as any children in Lurope, and tearing up Trees by the Roots. These those that haye the advantage to be Storms are generally attended with Educated, Write ijood Hands, and most violent Claps of Thunder and prove good Accomptants, which is Lightening, and pouring with Rain very much coveted, and most neces all the time they continue, which are sary in these parts.

There are; prodigious Water Spouts to be seen in mis Ouniry, wnica are me fore runners and certain Signs of Storms and bad Wether which soon follow after them. These Water Spouts are vast ex- halations of Water running out of the Clouds like little Rivers, attd are . t-f . .i t generally to be met with at Sea and seal the Shores, but seldom or never at Land; and are to be seen at a great Atnr rn.hlino. 11 th r-nln-r in : o the Rainbow; it is said they are dan gerous to be met with at Sea, for fear of tailing upon their Vessels, for wnicu reason when they espie them near at Hand, they frequently fire their great Guns to break them in the Air before they come near the sur- face of tbe Water, as I : have been credibly informed by several Maste s of Ships; for I have never seen them a otherwise than at a great distance There are no reeular Tides in Car ohna.but what are occasioned for the most part by the Winds shifting from one Point to another. The Planters by the richness of the Soil, live after the most easier and pleasant manner of any People 1 have ever met with for you shall seldom hear them repine at any Misfortunes in Life, except the loss of Friends, there being plenty of all necessaries cori- venient for Life; Poverty being an entire Stranger here, and the Planters the most hospitable People that are entire Plantation. These with many other Advantages, such as the cheap ness and fertility of the Lands, plenty of Fish. Wild Fowl, and Venison and other Necessaries that this Country naturally produces has induced a great many families to leave the more Northerly Plantations, and come and settle in one of the mildest Govern mentsin the World, in a Country that with moderate Industry may be acquired all Necessaries convenient for life, so that Yearly we have abun- dance of Strangers that come among us from Europe, New England, Pen 6ilvania, Maryland, and from many of the Islands, such as Antegua, Barba- I nnA K aA Crxt i)t TlOTA 1 I , - ih i xiiii 1 1 a i w iiliiti lii acLbiu uwaw many ui wWu. ku b.u.. areoecorae very xucu in a iew x ., The ji.uropians or c;nrisiians oi urm Carolina, are a straight, tall, well lira b'd active People, their Children beiftg seldom or never tioubled with Rickets, and many other Distempers that the Europians are afflicted with, I 3 -U " V.nm - anu yuu uu wtuum ujr deformed in Body.

The Women are ery faithful, most Houses being full of Little Ones, and many Women from other Places who haveben long Married and without Children, haye removed to Carolina, and become joyful Mothers, as has been often ob- sery'd. It very seldom happens they rais- carry, and they have very easie Tra vail in their Child-bearing.

Others are so Ingenious that they make up all the waring apparel both for Hus. band. Sons and Daughters. Others very reaay to ueip ana assist tneir Husbands in any bervile vv ork as planting, Pride seldom banishing Housewifery. Both Sexes are most commonly spare of Body and notCho lerick, nor easily cast down at Disap pointwents and Losses, and seldom immoderately grieving at any raisfor tunes in Life, excepting it be the loss of their nearest Relations. By the Fruitfulness of the Women in North Carolina, and the gieat number of. Men, Women and Children, that are daily Transported from Europe, they are now become so pow erful in this and most of the other Provinces in the Hands of the English that they are able to resist for "the fu ture any attempts the Indians may make on them. Add to this the sev eral Indian Kings that at present are in the Christian Interest who pay some small Tribute as an Acknowl edgment of their Subjection, and are ready upon all occasions to assist them whenever they are required to do so; therefore they live at present without any dread or fear of those Savages to what thev formerly did. The Men are very ingenious in several Handy craft Businesses, and in building their Canoes and Houses; though by the richness of the Soil they live for the most part after an indolent and lux urious Manner; yet some are labor ious and equalize with the Negro's in hard Labour, and others quite the Reverse,' for I have frequently seen them come to the Towns, and there remain. Drinking Rum, Punch, "and other Liquors for Eight or Ten Days successively, and after they have com mitted this Excess, will not drink any Spirituous Liquor till such time as they take the next Frolick, as they call it, which is generally in . two or three Months. The Excesses are the occasions of many Diseases amongst them. But amongst the Better Sort, or those of good Economy, "it is quite otherwise, who seldome frequent the Taverns having plenty of Wine, Rum i - and other Liquors at tbeir own Rouses, which they generously make arnoUgst their Friends and Ac quaintances after a most decent and discreet Manner, and are not so sub ject to Disorders as those who De- Dauch themselves in such a Beastly Manner. The former sometimes brinff their Wifes with them' to be nartakers of these Frolicks, which 1 very often are not commendable decent to be bou," . , or During tha past half century since the discovery of Ayer's Sarsaparilla tlie average limit of human life in civilized countries, has been considei- ably lengthened. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is everywhere considered the stand ard blood-purifier, the Superior Medi i cine. A LOATHSOME SPOT. One of the innumerable curious sights of India is the Nuggar tank of I Kurachi. In former times the croco diles which inhabit it roamed the neighborhood at their will, seeking whom they might devour, but so great were their depredations that the authorities were forced to build a wall around their haunt. This is a 'swamp caused by hot eprings, the medicinal virtues of which have been known from early times, and are at tributed to the sanctity of a Moham medan whose tomb is close by, and to whom the crocodiles are sacred. . The tank, as it is called, is about 150 yards by about half that distance in breadth. In this space one observer counted over 200 reptiles, from eight to fifteen feet long, and smaller ones innumerable. They are so tame, in a sense, that it is necessary to poke them with a stick before they will move. Buffaloes are always standing in the water, and are not attacked, but any other animal is instantly seiz ed. "The whole appearance of tho place," says one writer, "with its green, slimy, stagnant water, and so many of these huge, uncouth mon sters moving sluggishly about, is dis gusting in the extreme, and it will long be remembered by mo as the most ; loathsome spot ever beheld" Chamber's Journal.

MILLIONS OF COPPER COINS. There are 1 19,900,000 old copper pennies somewhere. Nobody knows what has become of them, except that once in awhile a single specimen . turns up in change. A few years ago 4,500,000brouze 2 -cent pieces were set afloat. Three millions of these are still outstanding. Three million 3- cent nickel pieces are scattered over the United States, but it is very rarely that one is seen. Of 800,000 half cents not one has been returned to the government for recoinage or is held by the treasury. Congress appropri ates from $100,000 to $150,000 yearly recoining the uncurrent silver coins now in possession of the treasury. These are mostly half dollars, and are not circulated because there is no de mand for them. Not Ions: ago the stock of them amounted to$26.000,000 but it is only about half that now. The money set aside for recoining is . i not intended to pay for the cost of the minting, but it is required to reim- burse the treasury ol tue umtea St.af.P8 on account of the loss in weight .. , A WI11CU Mio silver incut: a uavo ouuoicu by abrasion.

"Among the many testimonials which I see in regard to certain medicines perform ing cures, cleansing the blood, etc.," writes Henbt Hudson, of the James Smith Woolen Machinery Co., Philadelphia, Pa., "none impress me more than my own case. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and became running' sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my good old mother urgvd me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only tho cars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good VI Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am in the best of health. I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sarsaparilla advertised in all parts of the United States, and always take pleas ure in telling what good it did for me."
