WANTED TO MARRY.
On a wild mountain road between the
Yadkua river and Salisbury, N. C, I came
ujKm a bumble cabin in which resided
tho Widow Watklns and her three chil
dren, the oldest being a boy of 15 and the
youngest a girl of 5. I had heard of the
widow while ten miles away. Her hus
band was a justice of the peace and
something of a religious exporter, and
what be didn't know about the history of
America wasn't worth looking up. His
mala ran away with him one day, and
f'll into n ravine and both were killed.
I lie widow, us one of the natives ex-
;' ssed it, was "the well llxcdcst woman
tuiir counties," having a small farm all
and considerable iersonal projierty.
':Jf a. mile from tlie house I met
Vr-mLih, the boy spoken of. lie was
I iv! icaded, barefooted, coatless, vest
hss, and so freckled that it was liard to
nay what his natural complexion was.
He rose up off a rock as I approached,
mado an awkward bow and said:
'(-'ribLins, stranger."
"Cribbins to you, my boy. And who
mav you by
"Jerry Watkins."
'!?on of the widow, eh?"
"Vaas. De you'n he 'un?
"Yes."
"I rom tho no'th."
'Yes."
"( 'otne to see ma?"
'V : I'll btop for dinner."
"(;k.d on't. Gwino to hev' chicken,
lln Font me out to meet you 'un."
"Many thanks to both of you."
".Say!" ho continued as he trotted
along beside me, "I like von 'un; you
'un wears white shirts and clothes, and
I'll jicrger (lt) you "un know roots from
tree tops, Hev you 'un cum to marry
mar"
I laughed, and ho was much put out
fur a moment. Then he said:
"V.'ish you 'un would. Then I could
hev a pun. If you un will I'll mind
everything you say."
I Vrhaps your mother doesn't want to
marry again.1
- "rings! She'd marry you 'un like

'un v. id ""git me a gun, won't you? Say!
1 taw a I far yesterday. Say! I know
whar 1 could rhoot a powerful lot o'
coons. Say! i ll sjeak to ma fur ye if
you "un will promise tho gun."
1 he widow was at the door to give me
welcome. The second child, who was a
10-year-old girl, was barefooted and
freckled and " towheaded, and. the youn
ger one had on only a single garment
and was rolling in the dirt.
Cum right in an t-quat," said the
widow as wo t-hook hands. "Pete McCoy
was saving lu.t night that you was
heudd this way and would stop. Ar ye
thiritaM- ? May, jostle him over a glass
of buttermilk. We'll cribbins (eat) in
about n;i hour."
We t: l:;-d about the weather, the state
of tho ro.i'ls, etc., as she bustled around
to get dinner, but pretty soon Jerry went
out of doors and called:
"Ma-jina! Cum outer yere!"
"Jerry, vou shet!" replied the mother.

that I couldn't possibly see how I could

CaiU FurreJl Tells tlie Story In the I'res
enee of tho Kins He Ate tlie Furs uutl
loiiuue of a MiHHionary Iirouglit to
Tliln Country as a Slave In 1S57.
The party boarded the Lord of the
Isles and wero soon discussing some
good Santa Cruz in tho cabin of Capt.
I' a n ew. -
"I was midshipman in tho F.nglish
navy," said the captain, "serving on
board her majesty's good fehip Scorpion
thirty years ago, when slavery was still
an institution of this country. The
Scorpion was dispatched from the Med
iterranean to join tho Atlantic squadron
in tho Uight of Denin, and had orders to
put down the slave trade, then unusually
active, lie-fore wo had leen three mouths
on tho coast wo cantured half a dozen
dhows. Wo wero informed by a mis
sionary that there was a camp or depot
noont a mile inland, wlicre blaves and
ivory wero exchanged for ruiu ami
money, and as our instructions were to
extirpalo tho evil wherever it was to be
found, 500 marines and blue h.ckets of
tho squadron wero marched to attack
tiiisuciot. llio resistance wo encoun
tered was merely nominal, and I believe
our small force could have taken all
Central Africa..
"Now it happened that Carambo IV
king or bultan of western Foulah, had
died a few days before the attack, and
bis son (permit mo to introduce to your
majesty a reporter of The New York
.-itar; Jiis son, i say, succeeded him as
Carambo V."
Carambo smiled in a melancholy sort
of way at this recital, and tears came
into his eves, width ho turned away Ids
head to conceal.
"Tako another drop of Santa Cruz,
Caramlio," suggested tho captain. The
king complied, and tho captain con
tinued his story.
the icrca in battle.
'Intelligence of tho breaking up of
camp, and of the consequent stoppage of
supplies i:i cash, rum and muskets,
reached Carambo by carriers early next
morning, ami burning with ardor to
have revenge, and signalize tho begin
ning of bis reign with a victory, he
marched an army down to tho coast,
which reached our camp four days I iter,
and promptly began an assault. To do
his majesty nothing but justice, stripling
as he then was. ho led his savago legions
like a hero, and though his warriors fell
thick and fast around him, he jumped,
spear and buckler in hand, right intoour
line of rifle pits with his weird war cry
of Amoo! hai! hai! hail fchai! AmoQ!'
lie was wounded on tho right temple
with a sv.oid. and captured after a des
perate struggle, while those of his party
who did not disperse were also taken
prisoner's. It was an ugly gash you got,
Carambo?"
"Y'cs, Massa Farr'!," said Carambo,
turning the right side of his face toward
the narrator, and showing a 6car stretch
ing from tho outward corner of tho eye
down to the jawbone. The mark was
barely perceptible, but it was there, and
no mistake.
".Before Carambo left his capital for
the attack," the captain continued, "he
had ordered the roasting and eating of a
Portuguese missionary priest. Did you
eat any of him, Carambo?"
"Yes," answered the king, simply, "I
ate his ears and ids tongue."
MYes, I remember. It was for this
that, while wo released his subjects after
a day or two, we took the monarch him
self prisoner to tho Island of Ascension.
o also learned that ho had sacrificed
fifty of the late king's wives on his tomb.
and was about as sanguinary a touds
man generally as might be picked up in
Central Africa."
"I was tho Napoleon," spoke up Ca
rambo, proudly, as he gulped down an
other snifter of Santa Cruz.
CIIECKINO A ROYAL CAREER.
"Possibly. I visited the island two
months after, and found Carambo hand
and glove with the royal marines who
garrisoned tho place. lie had learned to
smoke, and drank all the rum he could
get with great gusto, lie wore a pair of
long Wellington boots and a grenadier's
big shako, which were all he did wear,
and enough, too, in that hot climate.
Tho shako was distorted into the 6hape
of a crown, and with this on his royal
cranium he stalked about the island, and
accepted tho title of king with infinite
grr.ee. 1 saw him dozens of times after
tlu's when calling in for coal and water,
and found him growing so demoralized
that I wrote to tlie admiral, who, in turn,
represented his case to tho government,
with tho result that ho was released and
sent heme, on swearing allegiance to
Quern Victoria. That was the last of
Iuei I saw until I met liim on tho wharf
uair an nourcgo, running a cotton truck.
Perliaps Carambo can tell us how he
came here,"
This Carambo did in very bad, but
stiil Intelligible, English.
It appears that in his absence his sub
jects choso another king, who marched
poor Carambo down to the coast with
1,500 others and sold him to American
6lavers. Ho was again sold for 1,200 at
auction in Richmond in 18o7 to a planter,
who treated him kindly. Lie was among
those arrested by Gen. Butler as contra
band of war in 1S&2, and of course made
free by President Lincoln's proclamation.
For tho rest, he came north after the
war, -worked in various capacities, but
being a man of great strength lie finally
decided to -work along shore until he
could make money enough to run a kal
somining establishment.
"But your name is not Carambo now?"
queried tho reporter.
"ily name is always Carambo," an
swered his -Foulan majestv with dignity,
"but they call me John Howard, and I
live at 4 J Lligh street."
"Here," said the captain, philosoph
ically, you have a king in your midst,
and yet you do almost royal homage to
every lord or soi-distant lord that comes
along. It is very singular." New York.

claring that if their husbands will not go
out they will not, either. A just or gen
erous man f.i averse to keeping bis wife
at homo simply because ho considers
soc ial entertainments of any and every
kind stupid and disagreeable, lie knows
that she delights in them, and that for
her to relinquish them is a ositivo sac-
niice. l here is no more reason why 6he
tthould stay away than why he should go;
a. id, therefore, he goes, but goes reluc
tantly, with ill will, and, as it were, by
compulsion.
It may seem singular that she should
iHTinit him to, knowing as she does how
baleful the thing i;. It seems downright
sehis'i in her and women arc rarely
seliish but she believes that sho cannot
ali'ord to release him: that her frequent
ing Koeiety without him is the beginning
of their separation, of their leading dis

Her Ik lief may not Ie correct, but it is

At j!T;y rate, sho maintains it, though

what sho is trying to avoid settled dis
content with her and tho conjugal con
dition. It wero bettor she should let him
obey his propensity than thwart it thus;
for alienation would be slower with free
dom than with fetters.
What a deal of mischief is society, fri
volous, hollow, insignificant society, cap
able of doing! The dragooned husband
feels that ho is a social impostor; that he

dragooned their lieges for several seasons,

Men love freedom above evertiiing;
and when they havo it they are more

any way curtailed. Husbands who have
been exceedingly disagreeable at home,
so long as tli ey havo felt constrained to
dischargo social duties in their own per
sons, havo behaved quite decently after
turning over those duties entirely to their
partners. The average woman gets rid
of her romance and sentiment by five or
