(Copyright 195, WOMbwara Pyle) There aro two piratds %nch of whom are very famous fn this $hifiry—Captain Wil- lam Kidd, of whose adventures and the treasure buried upon tirdencr's island it has already been told=and Captain “Black- beard.” Y Perhaps Captain Kidd ds the more famous of the two, but nevertheltds noariy everyone knows of Blackbeard and! there hardly a strip of sandy beach bet¥bn New Jjersey and Florida that is’ not reputed to hold some- where hidden in its bosor the buried treasure that he left bebind him, and which has never yet been recovered Nowhere in all the history of piracy is there such a terrible, strange, dreadful figure as that of Captain Edward Teach, or Black beard. Listen how the old historian of the pirates describes him “‘Our nero, Cap- tain Teach,” says he, “‘assumed the cognomen of Blackbeard from that large quantity of hair, which like a frightful meteor covered his Whole face and frightened America more than any comet that had appeared for a long tim “This beard was black, which he suffered to grow to an extravagant longth; as to the breadth, it came up to his eyes. He was ace: omed to twist It with ribbons into small tails, after the manner of our Ramidies wigs, and to turn them about s ears. In times of action he wore a sling over his shoulder with three brace of pistols hanging in the holsters like bandaliers. He stuck lighted matches under his hat, which, ap- pearing on each side of his face and oye looked_maturally fierce and wild, and made him altogether such a figure that imagination can not form an idea of a fury from the pit to_look more frightful. Perhaps not one of those old pirates, unle: it was Captain Kidd, was so closely identi- fled with our early colonial history as Black- beard. All of his depredations were com- mitted along our coasts, where his terrible figure would be scen, now swooping down upon some peaceful merchant coaster, now running ashore to devastate some planta- tion or settlement: now appearing in some seaport town to barter or trade with the merchants or planters with the goods that had just been taken from some sloop or schooner off the shore. 1t would be impossible here to recount ail of his bold and desperate adventures along our American seaboard, That which shall be told is rorized and robbed the town of Charleston, in South Carolina. How he and Governor Eden of North Carolina shared the spoils of the French barque ladened with its then Niackbea how he ter- | and bloody story. one. To that one—a small sloop transferred all of his treasure and a crow of forty men, and with it he safled away for the North Carolina sounds But even forty were, In Blackbeard's opinfon, too many to share what had been gained {n thelr piracles. Accordingly marooned nineteen of them on a little sandy land, about a league from the main land where,” says the historfan, “there was neither bird, beast, fish or herb for their sustenanc And only twenty-three were 1eft to share the treasure. At that time piracy had boecome so ram- pant that King George issued a proclama tion pardoning all freebooters who would surrender by a certain date, orrect the evil. Blackbeard and the twe three pirates who now were with him almost the first to take advantage of pardon. After having shared the among themselves, they went up into lico sound and_there surrendered to ernor Eden at Bath Town There Rlackbeard bought a plantation ried a girl of 16 years old (his wife, it s =aid) and striking up a fr with the governor, the colonlal secretary and other dignitaries of the province, lad for while a merry, jolly life of it, ards and spending his money like a lord o for a while he continued his life ashor en, suddenly and appareatly without rea son, his restiess desire for adventure brok out afresh. He called together his mon who had nearly all settled in the neighbor hood of Bath Town, manned the sloop that he had brought with him, and with another vessel safled away out into ocean through Ocracoke.

Captain Edward Teach began his pirate life about the year 1716, sailing from the Island of Providence in the West Indies with a Captain Hornigold (another notable pirate) to the Main of America, taking in course of a month among other prizes a large French and richly freighted Guineaman bound to Martinique. This larg> and pewerful ship Captain Teach took for his man-of-war, rechristening it “The Queen Anne's Revenge,” a name that was to become notable along the Atlantic coast in the two or three years that followed. 1t is not proposed here to tell of the ad- ventures that happened to him in all of that timge; of how he captured vessel after vessel; of “how he fought a famous battle with the man-of-war Scarborough, beating off the king's ship after an engagement that lasted for several houl. It is only needful to say that he joined with him a number of other pirate crafts then sailing under Major Stede Bonnet, and with this fleet fairly swept the sea, sailing away northward until he finally suddenly appeared off the bar of Charleston, South Carolina. 1t was a bright, warm day in the early spring time, That morning the good ship Royal Princess, Captain iobert Clark commander, had set sail from Charleston har- bor for England with a number of passengers of consideration aboard of her. Late in the afternoon a little boat came rowing up to Charleston with the news that the pirates had captured the Royal Princess just off the bay and was holding her as a prize. Blackbeard had come, For a_whole week the pirates lay off the town. The Royal Princess was only the first of their captures. Every incoming and out- going craft was stopped until a_score of ves- sels lay riding at anchor off the bar under the guns of the pirate fleei, and the town was completely blockaded. Eyery prize was overhauled and everything of value taken from it. The passengers themselves were held for ransom and all their money, and even their watches and thew jewelry were taken from them. At last the town itself was visited, One day a boat load of pirates with one of their prisoners landed at the quay where a little crowd had gathered watching them lower- ingly. It is thus that times tells of it “Belng in want of imedicine,” says he, “*Blackbeard resolved to demand a chest from the government of the province. Accordingly Richards, the captain of the Revenge sloop, with two or thres more jirates, were sent up along with Mr. Marks, oue of the prizoners whom they had taken in Clark's ship, to make thelr demands, which they did in a very in- solent manner, threafening that if the town did not immediately send the chest of medi- cine and let the pirate smbassadors without offering any violence to their per- sons, they would murder-all the prisoners and send their heads up to tlie governor and set the ships they had taken on fire. “Whilst Mr. Marks svas making applica- tion to the council, Highards and the rest of the pirates walked the srects publicly in the sight of all people, Whq were fired with the utmost indignation, furst not so much a8 think of arresting them. And o they were forced to- let the villains pass with im- punity. . “The government was not long in deliberat- iug upon the message, though it greatest affront that could be put upon them, yet for the saving of so many people's lives {among them Mr. Samuel Wragg, one of the council,) they complied with the necessity and sent aboard a chest vaiued at between £300 and £400, and the pirates went back to their ships.” How much Blackbeard took from the ves- sels he stopped on the bar in front of Charles- ton harbor; how great was the money for the redemption of the prisoners, no one can tell. Altogether the booty which he gained must have bean very great indeed Adding what was here taken to what he already had, he must have amassed a con- siderable fortupe by this time. This for- tune he determined to secure as much as possible to himsell. Accordingly he man- aged In a very clever way to run all of his the old historlan of those return | | deny the soft impeachment was the | paid | vessels aground off Topsail Inlet excepting other governor. The story that out losing any time. He fitted out two sloops under of Mr. Robert Maynard, first at ant into the mouth of the James river. Maynard sailed down to Ocrocoke inlet the sound and there met about now and then in pirate books, rarely in a true history such as this. Blackbeard opened the battle by firing two under men drifted closer together and finally grappled. As soon as they were near enough the pirates broadsides mto the licutenant’s sloop, the smoke of which he and the king began to throw aboard the sloop grenade: made of case botties fllled with small shot These grenades burst as throwing their contents, together with bits of broken the smoke men boarded the sloop and then followed one of the most desperate hand-to-hand conflicts in and pieces of ron. soon as they had struck the deck, glass, and Under and his in all directions. confusion Blackbeard all pirato history. It is thus that Captain Johnson, one of the chroniclers of these events, describes the con- flict: “‘Blackbeard and the lieutenant,” says he, “fired the first pistol at each other, by which then they en- gaged with swords until the lieutenant’s un- who thereupon stepped back his cut- when one the pirate received a wound, luckily broke, to cock a pistol. Blackbeard with lass was striking at that instant, of Maynard's men gave him a terrible wound in the neck and throat, by which the li tenant came off with a small cut on fingers, They were now closely and gaged, the lieutenant and twelve men against Blackbeard and fourteen, tinctured with blood around the vessel. Though Blackbeard received a shot from the pistol yet thai Lieutenant Maynard he stood his ground ‘and discharged, fought with Ereat fury until he received twenty cuts and ke he fve more shots. At length, as he was c: ing a plstol, having fired several before, fell down dead.” With this the battle was over. utenant Maynard cut off the dead pirate’s head, nalled it at the bowsprit of his sloop and then sailed back in triumph to Virginia, 8o ended Blackbeard, the pirate, to the last, But what became of his treasure?

As they do not own the land, will suffer tead of profit as It advances n valu As th population increases, the value of land will increase and the number of porsons who can afford to own land will decrease There is already started in the northwest an agricultural peasantry which has no future except one of inoreasing rei charges. The sharyp the competition for chances of earning a living the greater rent will the landlord be able to exact. In parts of Burope custom, and in Ireland the courts, limit the demands of the landlord, t in America all rents are rack pents. The tenant will get a bare subsistence, and all else will go to the descendant of the “‘home- steader.” The agricultural population of this country will in fifty years be poor and llit crate, made up of hired laborers on great es- of tenants, and of proprietors of small patches of ground, which they will tivate With the spade and of whose produce they Will eat only what cannot be sold. The sub- stitution of tenants for owners has already had in parts of the west an injurious effect upon highways and schools; the removal of the most intelligent and prosperous farmers from o neighborhood, together with the sub- stitution of tenants for ow will make the icultural population pecu ¢ the prey of demagogues, cranks and political ad- venturers, Such a population will not buy S0 much manufactured goods as the farming populations we have been accustomed to. It may be premature to say that there is a concentration of agricultural landholding, but far as our information goes it points in direction. For many years down to 1880 showed an increase, pretty generally dis- tributed over the northern states. The In- crease is small, only three acres, but the change in direction is notable. The size of farms had diminished from 203 in 1850 to 134 in 1880. Between the last two censuses the number of farms of less than 100 ac increased 231,632, while the number from 100 to 500 increased 312711 It i to be regretted that there is no dividing line between 100 and 500 ac the inferior limit is lower than the “three forties” of a public land state, which is a small farm, and the superior limit is higher than three sections, while, even two sections is a 1 farm. The figures would be far more instructive were there a division at say 320 acres; but without this we find much the greater increase, absolutely and relatively, among the large farms, and this is joined with an increase for the whols country in the average acreage of farms. rms of more than 500 acres increased relatively faster than the farms of twenty acres of less, and the absolute Increase in farms from 500 to 1,000 acres was four-fifths as large as that of farms of from ten to twenty nc Between 1880 and 1890 the average size of farms inereased in the states of New Hamp- shire, Rhode Island, Conneeticut, New Jersey, Hlinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Towa, the Da- kotas, 'Nebraska, Texas, Idaho, Washingion and’ Oregon. California s the only state in the Pacific and mountain group which does not show an Increase In the aver- age size of farms. Of what the Census bureau classifics as the north central divi- sion, Ohlo, Indiana, and Michigan show de- creases In farm acreage, and Missouri shows no change; all the other states show an in- crease. We shall probably find when all the re- turns are in that our farms are dividing themselves into two classes—small farms usu- ally cultivated by tenants, a peasant clas: and largs farms cultivated under the owner" superintendence by hired men, the farm laborer class of England, But the man who owns a farm of three or four sections will find town life within his reach, and much more to his taste, and especially to the tasts of his wife and children, than life in the country, and this means the three agricul- tural classes of England—the owner, who lives in the city or in Europe and enjoys the revenues formerly distributed among a con- siderable number of owning farmers, the ten- ant farmer, who has increasing difficulty in paying his rent, and the farm laborer, who gets not quite enough food to keep him thor- oughly nourished, and who is attached to the sofl, not by law of serfage, but by the iron law of poverty, ignorance and lack of spirit, "The proportion of our people who live In cities increases from census to census, and in the cities it is unnecessary to say that the overwhelming majority of people are aud must be tenants; must be, hecause the con- centration of population has made fthe land {00 expensive for people of small means to buy, So that, whether you look at the city or at the country, the Americans are des- tined in the near future to be a nation of tenants, as the English and Irigh are slready.
