How many of this generation North
jr South know or will believe that a.
late an November. 18G1, Nathaniel
(birdon. master of a New England
Tlave ship called the Erie, waa con
ft vleted in New York city of carrying
' on the slave trade. (See Appleton.)
Juat think of It and wonder. In l8Gt
ur Northern brethren made war upon
tia lHaue we etmlaved the negroes
we bad bought from them, but at tle
lama time they kept on bringing more
A from Africa and begging us to buy
them. How many know that England,
our mother country, aever emanci
pated her alavea until 1S4S. when
twelye million we,re set free la the
DaW Indies and onu hundred million
' f dollars paid to their owners by act
of parliament? It la only within the
laat half century that the importation
f alaves from Africa has generally
ceased. Up to that time every civilized
(Kiuntry bought them and enslaved
them. English tRlefimpa..an(i flergy
" wen said it waa better to bring them
fe.-nv thnn to have them r-nnlhinn In
their barbarism and eaulbalium. And
It -was better. I believe It was Ood'a
rovldenee that they should be
' brought away and placed In slavery,
but the way it waa done was inhuman
and brutal. The horrors of the mid
dle passage, aa the ocean voyage was
called, la the most awful narrative 1
-ever read and reminds me of Dante's
I "Inferno." About half the cargo sur
I vlved and the dead and dying were
tumbled into the sea. The owners said
we can afford to lose half and still
have a thousand per cent profit. Rev.
John Newton, one of the sweetest
poets who ever wrote a hymn, the au
thor of "Amaalng grace, how sweot
the sound, that saved a wretch like
rr-?" "Savior, Visit Thy Plantation,"
"3oiy Through AuotUt-r Week." au.l
many others, was for many years a
il -ck hand on a slave ship and saw all
i! horrors. He became converted, but
a after became captain Qf a alaver
j and for lour yeais pursued u aui
I gvutly and tuitigaied its. cruelty, Thda
he jult and went to preaching and
says In his'. autobiography, that it
never occurred to him that there was
anything wrong or immoral ia the
slave trade where it was humanely
conduct fd. '-Tho Savior said: "Of

them by whom they come."

apivears to Love bee under the sanc

has been on time since the Christian

to be kind to bis slaves. As Bot

"It is not' to our interest to starve out
lates any more than it U to starv
our horse and horneJ rattle." Shortly
after the little cargo that the Wander

a large gardn in Columbus. Ga.. and
was toid that they were docile an 1

REVIEWED BY PRESIDENT

After the Parade.
Washington. D. C.--President Itoose
felt reviewed the Grand Afffty parade
lu bis carriage. He wss carried dowa
stairs from his room on" the seeondi
floor of the temporary White House lot '
an invalid's chair, am! amid tiie cheer
of a large crowd was placed In he ear
rlage. iu which there wss a board t
upport his injured leg. He was ac- ,
rompauied by Secretary Oortelyou and
Colonel Bingham, bis military aide.
As the carriage apics.rod on the a1
nue the President was greeted withi
loud.cheers. The President stopped at
the reviewing siand for a moment until
the marshals of thy parade and Haw-
litis Post, of Minneapolis, the right of
the line, bad passed, and (hen drov
down the avenue to the l'esi Monu
ment at the foot of the Capitol. The
veterans faced the carriage as th
President drove by and saluted hini.
There was continuous cheering from
the crowds ss the ' President drovtv
along.
Less tna.n ttiirtyjiiv minutes were
consumed iu the journey, and when the :
White House was rest bed Secretary
Cortelynu and Colonel Bingham got out
and, much to the surprise and delight
of the waiting orow'ds, Mrs'. Roosevelt
emergen, entered the carriage, and was)
driveu rapidly away with the Presi
dent. President and Mrs. Roosevelt re
lumed to the White House about 1-30
p. m.. having been gone an hour and a.
half. They liad driven through Rock
Creek and Zoological Parks, but kept
clear of the crowds. Several thousand
iK'ople waiting outside the White
House cheered their return
For five hours tiie (.rami Army of th
Republic inarched along Pennsylvania
avenue between crowds which seemed
larger than (hose at the last inaugura
tion of a President. It la ten years
since Washington had a national en
campment. The ranks of the Grand Army haT
been thinned by death: one New York
post, which sent eighty men to the en- '
eajupmeiit of ISii'J. sent only thirty to
this, and In addition there were nunv ;
hers of Grand Army men iu he crowds
who bad attended the encampment, but
were unable to march from the infirmi
ties of age. But, after allowing for all
t!-i t!w number of men in line waa
sill! surprising. Another fact that wa
remarked upon by the spectator was
the tine appearance presented by many
of the pots. Many of them, particu
larly those from the Atlantic States,
marched and looked like soldiers still. :
"Daughters of the Post" were numer-
ous. and Some of them were so prettily
uniformed and marched in so soldierly
a fashion that they sot more applause
thnn tk veterans. One of the "Daugh
ters." attired in louave uniform,
marching vltb some New York
Zouaves, pleased the crowd There
was one female band, composed of
women hailing from Waterloo. Ind., alt
of whom wore long maroon colored
dresses. They played a patriotic air
n they passed the reviewing stand,
and were duly cheered. Indeed, wheir--...
ever ladies occupied a place in the line
they were applauded, notwithstanding
their presence was forbidden by gep
ernl orders.
