A I'rr,phsUc Dream..
Solve days before the late disaster at
tatatoa the wife of an officer at Mare
Island awoke from her first sleep,
trembling and in tears, and related to
her husband a'fearful,dream experience.
She thought she had been •in her dream
transported to' the island of Samoa, and
Irons the shores' of the harbor of Apia
looked upon the American and German
fleets. Suddenly a storm arese, and the
harbor was swept by a fierce tornado.
Ship after ship went ashore, and the
spectators united in offering up prayers
for the preservation of the remaining
'vessels. Lastly tho Vandalia and Tren-
ton dragged their anchors, and, as the
former vessel was dashed upon the reef
and almost immediately sank, Mrs. ,.,....
witnessed the death of Capt. Schoezl�
maker, Lieut. Sutton and Paymaster
Armes, the three officers who were the
victims of tho actual disaster of March 1&
The picture was so vivid and real that

tiled, thinking only of her, divan'. and
relating it to others, • always insisting
that the vessels and friends so recently
gone from Mare Island must certainly be
exposed to some fearful peril, anti wheel
tho fictitious story of the sinking of the
Nipsio reached us oho concluded this to
be the interpretation of hof~ dream. The
falsity of this story being proved, Mrs,
-- was, of course, disposed to make
light of her vision; but now corneal', tale
of disaster infinitely more sad than the
fiction which agitated our country for so
many days—an event corresponding most
closely, with this apparently proplietie
dream.
In this story—capable of perfect au,

Chance Carter lived iieeetttyfive )ears
a slave and twenty-five te: fred Man.
That is, from the best anybody cam tell
abot t it,
- He's was se nld that he had outlived
everybody wino mlghtit3,w+e told anything
about Ws real ago, Which spanned the
average life of three or four generations.
Away back in the days When Decatur
was a stage road station and Atlanta was
a cross roads village, Mr. William Carter
and his wife came to this section, child-
less but wealthy, and the possessors of
Many slaves.•
Among these slaves was Chance, who
was mores than half free, a good business
man; but a lover of cock fights and -
rougll, country sports.
Chance was a man of middle age, and
had a large family when the railroad
reached Atlanta. Ho was practically in.
charge of the plantation affairs, his mas-
ter relying implicitly on his fidelity and
good judgment in all the affairs COW
ne>cted with his estate. His faith was
never shaken by a single dishonest act
on the part of the old negro,
THE BAND Ole »LATH.
Along in the '40s Mr. Carter died, and
his wife had his body laid to rest on a lot
in the plantation, where she might re-
pose beside hint when the time came for
her to depart. The good old lady had no
one left but Chance. and on the honest
negro she felled still more than ever.
The sons and daughters of the slave•
grew to manhood and womanhood, dead
the plantation prospered. The grave. of
the old master was kept green,
In 1857 Mrs. Carter felt the approach
of death. She felt that the two lonely
• graves would be left unprotected, and
that the stranger would desecrate them„
and that possibly the plawshere tnigbt
rudely break Away the nosey hounds
above their last resting place,
ac.) she called Chance and to hilt made
a deed a gift to thirteen acres, of land,
asking him to, remain there arid look
after the graves of the master and mis-
tress) aa long as he lived. The negro
promised to do so, and he kept itis word.
IQetbody thought of molesting, Uncle
Chance.
Of come, under the laws: existing
prior to. the war, a slave cook!{ not be
freed, nor- could he become a freeholder.
But this old man was a freedman and a
landholder, by virtue of the common re-
spect for the sacreduess of his chargp;
and that public sentiment and empathy
that was not uncommon among the peo-
ple of the south in such cases.
The >est of the property went to dis-
tant relatives, and the inevitable, separa-
tion, which waa ono of the most painful
incidents; of slavery, occurred between
the fathei, and his children,
A, ;ANG VIGIL,
Uncle Chance remained on thaiittle
farm left him by the old mistress, Amid
the shock and commotion, of wear he
never wavered in his devotion, arta Lin-
coln's proclamation fell unheeded en his
ears.
It could do nothing for a maxi, wbu
wvas only a slave so far as his affection:
bound.him. Ana they wore as fetters of
brass binding; him to the memory of
those whom he had. loved and served in
life, and from, whoax,• itl death, he chose
not to he disunited.
After the tear some of the lands passed
into alien hands, and inelnded in the
tract was the henaoof the eld slave. The
new owner set up A: claim, that the thir-
teen teres were Meta by the old negro
without any legal. title, and instituted
suit in the courts, for the recovery of the
little farm,
This, aroused the plc} than, who had
kept. his vigil so long: )tad well, aucl he
consulted ;t; lawyer. Tha lawyer was
Judge W. L, Calhoun, who had cater.
Mrs. Carter's ginger cakes and listened
to Uredo Chance',:; quaint stories when c
little boy.
Although there wva.s really not the
shadow of a title to Chance's holc:'!ng,
the l;,,vyer determined to stand by him
and help, to, presepvo tho little legacy and
enable the old than, to die by the graves
ol" those who had loved and trusted hiul.
And the lawyer won his case by a
speech of such masterly eloquence that
the crowd Lathe court room was moved
to tears.
There was something peculiar about

Ills fidelity in life and in death to the

something remarkable, and there are
