The milky sea, as it is known to ma riners, is not yet fully understood. It seems to be most common in the trop ical waters of the Indian ocean, and is described as weird, ghastly and awe inspiring, and as giving the observer on shipboard the sensation of passing through a sort of luminous fog in which sea and sky seem to join and all sense of distance is lost. The phenom enon is probably due to gome form of phospborescence. ? Chicago Post. SLAVERY IN NEW ENGLAND. Brought to r. n Find by (Bio Supreme Court of MnKaapliuaetta In 17S3. Slavery in New England began soon after the settlement of the country. In 163S Pequot Indians were taken from Massachusetts and sold in the West Indies. The vessel returning brought a cargo of cotton and tobacco, says the Boston Transcript. Slaves were most numerous in New England about the middle of the eighteenth century. In 1754 there were nearly 5,000 negro slaves in the state of Mas sachusetts. In 1780, in the declaration of rights, all men were declared to be free and equal. In 1781 a white man in Massachusetts was indicted for beat ing and imprisoning a black man. His defense was that this was the neces sary and lawful correction for a slave, for a slave could not be held in sub jection unless one could punish bim when he went away or refused to work. In 1783 the supreme court of Massachusetts declared that the de fense was invalid. That put an end to slave try in New England. Slaves were mostly household servants, kept large- j Iy by rich people for purposes of dis- I piay- ! Lo n kUi euded. "Doesn't work?" "No. He says he couldn't make fifty thousand in ten years, but he can land an heiress in that time if he gives all his attention to it." ? Detroit Free Press. Pntaiton Ulna Dyiing Out.
