THE LAST SLAVE-SHIP. Many things can bo forgotten In forty- seven years, and probably few Americans remember the story of tho slave-ship Clotllde that was run Into Mobllo Bay and burned ono dark night in 1S59, and how its cargo of slaves was dumped oft Into the canebrakes and left, some to bo picked up and sold, some to wander a bout and starve, and some to die of homesickness. Notwithstanding that It all happened clo-e to Mobile, scarcely any ono this year lecalls anything of the facts. Only In an old scrap-book of a friend could I find a single printed word about them; and when this frlend'n daughter had once been to the strange settlement, and had described some of the people's habits of life in a cluitmlng little dialect sketch. the dramatic situation seized upon me. A burning desire possessed me to see these remarkable people face to face. A chase followed among tha old negroes of Mobile, for somebody had said I would find among them a certain man who knew tho road through the big dark swamp behind tho city to their settlo ment. Tho fates were kind, and nt last I found a whlto man who, in tho old Confederacy days, had often been to the settlement, knew tho Africans well, and In fact, at a cprtnln time had had them under his control as a Confederate officer. A drive of half a dozen miles over an eievaieu pinnK lonei nnu tnrough a wilderness ot trees nnd water brought us out to the clay hills by tho Alabama River. There was a cluster of sawmills close by In tho "piney woods," and beyond those many negro cabins In rows. But their occupants were tna common neg roes, working in tho mills, nnd of n cent arrival. It was little they knew of the leal "Africans" as distinguished from themselves. After much inquiry, and much running about the plneys, and the pathetic-looking Confederate breastworks that still stretch sullenly for a mllo and moru through tho woods, wo came to a few African houses. They were only till upldated cabins, but surrounded with truck- gardens anil loso-bushes. Hardley a dozen of tho old Clotllde's vlclms aio alive, though numbers ot their children live near the settlement and have Inter married with tho common negro. Few of tho capturod ones had been moro than twenty nt the time ot their enslavement, and all remember tho hoir Iblo details as it they hnd been experi ences of a recent time. They woro moro stalwart In nppcaienco nnd of finer phy sique than tho American negro whoso ancestors havo been long In Iiondage, Their eyes were brighter too, their voices even tofter nnd more melodious.

Tho man who sits by his flrpsldo and comfortably reads tho story of a groat disaster llttlo Imagine tho terrible ex perience through which the reporter may huvo passed In securing tho details and forwarding the narrative to his newspaper office. The story ot the great Southern storm, published by tho New York Times last Saturday, was prefaced by a telegraph operator's note saying that tho despatch, dated Bay Mlnnette, Ala,, was relaying at Flomaton, Ala., on a train wire, tho only circuit working, and eent from a box car by J. B, Calvert, assistant superinten dent of the AVej-tprn Union, while he wns hundllng a forco of 1C0 men. The news was gathered by AVIIllam J. Carver, city editor of the Mobile Register. After telling about tho havoc In Mobile and In small towns, ho gives this account of his fight to get his story to the Times: A hen it became evident that Mobile wns to bo Isolated from tho world by the storm for at least two days and that many persons In other parts of the country wero anxious concerning the welfare of rela tives rind friends, I endenvoieil to obtain a horse and drive Inland. I wns unsuc cessful In my effort. At midnight last night I decided to get a tug. Accompanied by Passenger Agent Pow ers of tho Louisville and Nashville rail way I started for the river. AVhen four blocks from the wharf we started to wade. Soon we were deep In tho water. and at times up to our shoulders. AVhen wo reached the dock wn managed nfter hard work to procuro n tug. The captain was alone. We hired an engineer, cast off, nnd started, after getting militiamen to act as crew. It was with difficulty that we mado headway ngalnst the turhulent eurren'. speeding like a rnceway and bearing with logs, trees and debris that threatened to sink us at every thiol) of the cnglnv The engineer was acting as fireman as well. More than once while tiring ho would gel the signal for the leverse. Re- forn he cnnld ohey the boat would strike sunken logs that, after rising high in the air for a few seconds, would be swp? along in the current. Tho moon, low on the horizon, did not aid ii in avoiding tho logs, but, casting a dim light on tin- whirling waters, it gave us a faint Idea of the danger we were In. Our destination was Mobile river hrldge. 16 mlle up the river. We thought that the wires might bp working, and Mr. Pow pis, who Is an expert telegrapher, might use tho wires. AVe figured on two hours for the trip. Tho captain shook his head .ind said: "It Is suicide," but the captain was under orders nnd he obeyed. Tho tug was pushed uhoad at full speed, nnd all thoughts of danger became subservient to the thought, AVould we reach Mobile biidge? At 3 o'clock a. in., eastern time, we did. Mounting the breakwater and then climbing the girders to tho track, wo succeeded after a twenty-minute search Itr finding tho cable box. Here Mr. Powets, with the wrecker, tried to make a connection. Ho failed. The wires were down, und It looked us If our errand was to ml In failure. We decided to walk track to Hurricane, two and a half miles away Aeccompanicd by the draw tender Lit tha bridge, wo, started. The moon no longer was to be seen nnd we ndvanced, gnidcil by the faint glaro of tho tender's lantern. Mr. Powers and I In-come dizzy as wn stepped from tlo to tie, for they woro wide apart, nrl we saw the frothy river far below dashing madly on Its way to the bay. Rather than be left behind by tho temler, who was a rapid walker, we plucked up courage and hastened along. AVe were not long In reaching the end of the bridge. Then we walked along on the gravel rocks used between the rails. Our shoes were quickly cut and sore feet re sulted from the two-mile walk. AVe reached the bridge over the Tensas River. Here wo paused. No one, as far as known, had tried tho bridge. The water was but a few feet below the rails and looked ominous as the waves dashed against the suports of the structure. After deliberation wn walked to tho mid dle, where the tender told us the storm wns the worst ho had ever experienced. His assurances that the bridge was safe spurred us on, however, and we soon reached Hurricane. Here disappointment again awaited us. The operator was not to be found Mr, Powers entered the oftlco and soon found the wires were all down, It was now 5.40 o'clock and Mr. Powers decided that It was useless for him to continue further. He hnd to return to get out a repair crew on the wires, I decided to go for ward until I reached a win, telling Mr. Powers to wait two hours, then If I fail ed to appear to start back r the boat, Went on.
