The Band of Help They Had Early New England. In Menials Were In Some Cases Tram ported Convlcti and Malef ac- -tors Who Sold Themselves ; Into Servitude.. Domestic service in . America has passed through three distinct phases. The lirst extends from the early col onization to the time of the revolution; the second from the revolution to about 1H50; the third from 1850 to the present Jtirne. During1 the colonial period service of every kind was performed by trans ported convicts, indentured white servants or "redemptioncrs," "free will ers," negroes and Indians. The first three classes convicts, redemptioners and free willers were of European, at first generally Knglish, birth. Protests were often made against Ahie method of settlement, both by the colonisis themselves and by English men, but it was long before the English government abandoned the praetice-of transporting criminals to the Ameri can colonies. x Of the three classes of whites, or Christian servants, as they were called to distinguish them from the Indians and negToes, the free willers were evidently found only in Maryland. They vvere received uuder the condition that they be allowed a certain number of days in v. Lich to dispose of themselves to the 'greatest advantage. It if, impossible to state the pro portion of servants belonging to the two classes of transported convicts aud re demptioners, but the statement is ap- I parentlj' f:;ir thai the rttituptioners who said themsclvc3 into sci '. Ico to pay' for the cost cf their jiCsag-e constituted by far the larger pcrtto:i. Tiiccc ware found in r.il the colonics, though more numerous iu the sen thorn and middle colonies than in 2o? .England. In Virginia and ilarylaud they outnum bered the negro slaver, until the latter part of the seventeenth century . In Massachusetts , apprenticed servants, bound for a term cf years, were sold from ships int Uoston as late as 1730, while the general trade in bound white servants lasted until the time of the revolution, and in Pennsylvania even until this century. The first redcnitiorlcrs were natural ly of English birth, but after a time they were supplanted by those of other nationalities, particularly by Germans and Irish. As early as 1718 there was a complaint of the Irish immigrants in Massachusetts. . . . It has been said that a great majority of the redemptioners belonged at first to a low class in the social scale. A con siderable number, however, both men and women, belonged to the re spectable, even to the so-called upper class of society. They were sent over to prcvcLc disadvantageous marriages, to secure inheritances to other members, of a family or to further some criminal scheme. Many of these bond servants sold themselves into servitude-, others were disposed of through emigration brok ers and still others were kidnaped, be ing enticed on shipboard by persons called "spirits." The evil of "spiriting away," both children and adults, be came so great that in 1CG4 the commit tee for foreign plantations interposed, and the council created the office of register, charged with the duty of keep ing a record of ail persons going1 to America as servants, and the statement that they had voluntarily left England. This act was. soon followed by another fixing- the penalty of death, without benefit of clergy, in every case where : persons were found guilty of kidnap ing children or adults. But even these extreme . measures did not put .an end to the evil; and it is stated that 10,000 persons were annually kidnaped after the passage of the act. The wages paid were, as a rule, small, though some complaints are found, especially in New England, of high wages and poor service- More often the wages were a mere pittance. Elizabeth Evans came from Ireland to serve John ."Wheelwright for three years. Her wages were to be three pounds a year and passage paid. Margery Batman, after five years of service in Charles town, was to receive a she goat to help her in starting life. Mary Polly, accord ing to the terms of her indenture, was to 6erve ten years and then receive 'three barrels of corn and one suit of penistone and one suit shirts of dowlas and one black hood, two hif ts of dowlas and shoes and hose convenient."

It is well known that Lord Nelson, the hero of Trafalgar, had but one eye, and it is commonly supposed' that he lost it in the ordinary fortunes oi war. Such, however, is not the truth, if. the story current in Nicaragua may be believed. In, 17S0 England sent out an expedition to enforce her claims to cer tain lands ad joining the isthmus. .The poin cf attack wps Fort San Carlos at San Juan del Norte. " Two hundred sailors and marines under the leader ship of Capt. Nelson were Inr.-d'ed. The cowardly garrison cf Spanish soldiers deserted the commandant, but he re fused to leave. His daughter, Donna Rafaela Mora, a girl of 15, remained by his side and determinedi to do all she could for her father and for her coun try. She took up her position behind an embrasure, seized a gun ar.d when the party advanced' fired directly at their leader. He fell, lis eye pierced by a bullet. His followers were instantly thrown into confusion, and the garri son, seeing its opportunity and inspired by this young heroine, re turned to duty and succeeded in driving the English" forces back Ho their boats. ' . Donna liafaela Mora was decorated by the king of Spain, commissioned a colonel in the royal service and pen-, sioned for life. , ' Nelson's btiographers merely state that he was repulsed at Fort- San Car los, and claim that he lost, his eye in Corsica. The foregoing story has, how ever, been considered authentic, and by reason cf it Gen. Martinez, the grand son of Donna Rafaela, was sufficiently popular to be elected president of the republic in. 1857 by a grateful people. Brooklyn Eagle. Italian Paiier. - The manufacture of paper, cardboard and kindred articles is becoming in Italy an important"and growing indus try, the annual exports amounting to $2,500,009, an increase of 00 percent, in white and packing paper within five years, and of 25 per cent, in cardboard. Piedmont, Lig-uria, Lombardy and Ven etiaare the principal centers of this manufacture, but there are a number of mills at other points. There are now about 450 paper miils, employing some 20,000 horse-power, and 20,000 hands, over 50 of the establishments manufac turing wood pulp. Detroit Free Press. Icc-ISrenlilng Snips. Vice Admiral Makarow, of the Rus sian navy-, has been studying the con struction anduseof powerful ice-breaking ships. At a recent meeting of the Imperial Geographical society at St. Petersburg, he expressed his . belief that with two such ships, each of 10,000 horse-power, acting together, a line of free water communication could be kept open in winter to the port of St. Petersburg, and he added that they could even force their way through the glacial ocean if the thickness of the ice did not exceed 12 feet.
