COLONIAL SERVANTS.
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."

A N1CAKAGUAN HEROINE.
How a Soldier's Datigrlitfr Defeated
Capt. ZVelson's Forces.
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.

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. Youth's
