PAUPER SLAVES IK MARYLAND.
Scene of Slavery Days Eevhed.
The NeT York Tflegram of a re
cent date prints tbe following special
from Oakland, Md.:
In the town of St. George, the seat
of Tucker county, in the heart of
Cheat Mountain," overlooking the
beautiful Cheat river, stood eighteen
wretched beings yesterday before a
crowd of some six hundred people.
The crowd was gathered before the
little court house, and included farm
ers, clergymen and townspeople.
These eighteen human beings
some crying, others laughing, and
among them an idiotic girl suffering
from a scrofulous disease, who jab
bered and grinned were paupers,
and they Vere, under the law of the
state, to be sold fQr a term of one
year to ihe highest bidder.
Promptly at ten o'clock the crowd
gathered in front of the court house
and inspected the paupers, while the
town boys on the outskirts of the
throng jeered and tornTented the un
fortunates, this being taken as a mat
ter of course and something that no
parson thought of stopping. Presently
the sheriff or the county mounted
the horse-block, that relic of the
dark days of slavery in ante-bellum
times, and read "the order of the
court."
The auctioneer, a stout, jolly-faced
individual, mounted the block, and,
making a jesting remark which
caused the crowd to roar with laugh
ter, announced that the "goods are
divided into two classes, able-bodied
and invalids," and asked for bids.
The first to step upon the block
was a man seventy years of age.
Turning him around for the better in
spection of the bidders, the auction
eer began: "Now, gentlemen." said
he, "here you have a fine man. fie is
Bound, solid, and gentle as a kitten.
He is good for a big day's work. How
much am I offered?" The old fellow
looked anxiously at the crowd of bid
ders as the amounts offered weie out
bid. Finally ho was .-old to man
named John Anderson for $26, who,
after paying his money, took the old
fellow, who looked sad and weary,
and sighed heavily as he wpnt away
with him.
Among the group of paupers was a
beautiful girl of ten years, who cried
bitterly because she had to leave the
family to whom she had been sold the
previous year. She had neither
father nor mother, or, it she had,
they had thrown her adrift when an
infant. Sho had not even a name,
and the auctioneer facetiously dub
bed her "Sally," wheroat his listeners
laughed immoderately. She sold for
$8.50, and her purchaser was a minis
ter of the gospel
One of the most pitiful sights ever
seen was that of the next pauper to
be sold. Sho was an old woman, and
it was her first year as a pauper. Per
haps she had once been rich in this
world's goods and had a happy home.
At all events she had supported her
self till the present time, and the
question of her past was known only
to herself. No one else knew. No
one cared. She was led to the block
crying as though her heart would
break. When she stepped upon it
she wailed in her anguish: "Jnv God.
J wish that I could die. My husband
and son were killed in the army. Oh,
if I could only die." Sho was sold to
the keeper of a boarding-house at a
logging-camp for $7.
The idiotic girl was sold to a hard
looking mountaineer for the sum of
60 cents per week.
As the next part of the human
foods and chattels stepped upon the
block it showed the white curly locks
of an aged colored man, who laughed
as he looked over the throng with his
good-humored and jolly eyes. "I
golly," said he. as he glanced around,
"dis ver is like ol' times, bress my
soul. He was sold to a farmer
for'SlL
The sale aggregated $113 for the
"able-bodied" paupers, and an aver
age price of thirty-two cents per
week for Jhe invalids. At the con
clusion of the sale the jolly actioneer
with a parting jest to the crowd, step
ped from his stand, and, .entering the
hotel, refreshed himself after his
fatiguing duties. The purchasers,
with their "bargains " as some of
them termed the unfortunates whom
they had bought, started off home
ward. The stories of cruelty to these peo
ple are numerous, and beyond ques
tion or doubt. They are worked to
their utmost capacity. They are fed
on refuse, made to sleep in barns, have
to go bare-footed for ten months in
the year, and are whipped savagely
on the slightest pretext The tales
of immorality are frequent, and too
often true. The children are allowed
to grow up without education, and, it
is said, some of them do not even
know that a God exists. They con
tract diseases which are neglected,
for in many cases medical aid is de
nied them. These poor wretches, in
addition to their sorrows, are the butt
and jeer of every person not a pau
per. They are looked upon as a piece
of goods with only a money value,
varied in accordance with their ability
to perform manual labor.
PACIFIC COAST SHIP TI3IBER.
A third of a century's experience
in the timbers of this coast has pret
ty well determined the respective
merits of the various species and the
comparative position with the recog
nized ship timber of other parts of
the world.
As most of the earlier constructions
were small, and for looal business,
sufficient time has not elapsed to ac
curately determine the lifetime of a
ship built of Pacific coast timbers
when engaged in general business in
all parts of the world, but sufficient
jg known to give them a leading posi
tion with other recognized ship tim
bers. The yellow flrjof this coast, or what
is generallyknown as Oregon or Pu-
jjet sound pine, is jusuy ceieurmtju us
theiesding spar timber of the world,
possessing more strength and greater
elasticifo" as compared with its weight
than any known timber, the growth
of -which is sufficient in size or sup
ply for use for that purpose.
The use of iron and steel is more
rapidly displacing perhaps the use
of wood for spars than the hulls of
ships, but in the use of wood the
choice supply of the spars of the fu
tnre is year by year centering in Pu
get sound.
The English navy has in times past
drawn its supplies of spars from
Puget sound, and large quantitief
have found their way from there to
the Atlantic coast, for which destina
tion a large ship is at present load
ing on the Sound. One of the prin
cipal means of distribution of Pacific
coast spars is through the wheat and
merchandise fleet that visit this
coast, take advantage of cheap sup
pjies to renew here all bad or doubt
ful spars they have in use. besides
taking with them a full supply of
spare spars to meet inraro contin
gencies. The merit of the yellow fir is not
confined -exclusively to its use for
pars, but the same characteristics
that recommend it for spars, viz.,
lightness, strength, elasticity, and its
great length commend it for all long
itudinal parts of any construction,
but particularly so for the construc
tion of ships in which all of those
qualities are particularly desirable.
The question of weight of mate
rials employed in the construction of
a ship is an clement of much greater
importance than is generally conced
ed, for it Is true of all bodies floating
on the water that they displace ex
actly the same weight of water as
their own weight, or in the case of a
ship the total weight of itself (outfit
included), and if loaded, the cargo;
hence, in the case of two ships of ex
actly the same size (whatever the
form may bo), the hull of one of
which weighs 100 tons less than the
other, the lighter ship will carry 100
tons more cargo on the same displace
ment and with the same degree of
safety as the other sliip.
It is this that gives the iron ship
its chief preference over a wood ship
or its increased earnings proportion
ately to its size. The use of mate
rials giving the greatest strength for
the minimum weight, then is an ele
ment of the greatest importance to
the ship builder, but particularly so
to the owner, and measured by that
standard, the yellow fir stands prom
inently ahead of all competitors, and
for keelsons, ceiling, clamps, water
ways, beams,decks and bottom plank,
has no superior; for, in addition to
the great strength of each individual
piece used in the construction of a
ship, the strength of the total con
struction may be vastly increased by
the diminished number of butts duo
to extra lengths of onr Pacific coast
timber.
There aro, however, other parts of
a ship for which other qualities than
those possessed by yellow fir are de
sirable, for which there are several
varieties of timber in use and found
to give satisfactory results.
The best known of our native woods
and most generally used, where a
hard and close grain is desirable, as
for stem, sternpost, rudder stock,
windlass, bitts, etc., is the laurel,
which on this coast attains a size en
tirely unknown elsewhere, but is un
fortunately restricted in locality, and
compared with the abundance of the
fir, in limited supply.
The superiority of the laurel, for
such exterior parts as mentioned, is
generally conceded, but some earlier
experience of the government with
the steamer Saginaw, built at Mare
Island, of mixed timber (of which a
portion was laurel) and the efforts Of
rebel officers to condemn the same in
China, in the early part of the rebel
lion, had a great influence in retarding
a just appreciation of a timber that
really has so much to commend it
Laurel, however good it has proved
for exterior work, has always been
looked upon with, much suspicion
when enclosed in a ship's frame, or
excluded from the air, and has rarely
been used in such places, except in
government vessels and from them
are we chiefly to derive experience in
its use.
Some fourteen years since, the U.
S. Pcnsacola had large repairs at
Mare Island navy yard, and I think
has been most of the time since in the
Pacific waters, returning to the At
lantic in the early part of the present
year.
As is generally the caso with a ves
sel returning from a long cruise, the
Pensacola has been submitted to a
thorough inspection and survey, dur
ing which a most thorough examina
tion was made by the removal of
plank and boring of the ship from
end to end.
The result of that survey is best
giving by quoting tha words of the
U. S. Naval Constructor Hichborn,
who was on the survey, and who says,
"she was found to be in the best con
dition I ever saw a vessel after a
cruise. The laurel timber put into
her at Mare Island fourteen years ago
was in every way as sound as at that
J time, proving its superior qualily, and
all the planking, decking, etc., were
perfectly sound. The ship reflects
credit on California materiil and
workmanship."
Such testimony as this, with our
local experience with these materials,
should establish for them a oharaoter
worthy of their excellence and if the
competition of iron ships is destined
to drive our wooden deep water fleet
from the ocan, we, on the Pacific
coast, may yet console ourselves with
the fact thau we have not only the
best, but the cheapest materials to
maintain our coasting fleet Veritas,
