At Home on the Potomac,
On a hill overlooking the Potomac River,
about three miles from the Capitol, there is
situateda‘strongly built and commodlous
old family mansion. Originally a man named
Van Hook, who was What might be called
the proprietor of quite a district, of the
country around, _made this house his dwelling
place.
trc of a settlemeet known as Union Town.
and it is a. somewhat remarkable fact that
when the place was first laid out there was
inserted in all the deeds given by Van Hook
a stipulation that no negro should ever be
permitted to purchase a lot belongingto the
estate. Despite this provision, the manor
house in question and a majority of the
ground surroundihg it is now owned and 0c.
cupied by a colored man, who was a slave—
a man who bears upon his person scars from
the lashes of ovelseers’ 'whips ; a man who
was at one time 'a fugitive from what was
then called justice; a man who subsequently
won for himself great reputation not only in
this country, but in Europe; a man who is
to-day, all things" considered, one of the
foremost figures in the gallery of America’s
distinguishedcitizens. In short, the mansion
in question belongs to and is occupied by
. Frederick Douglass.
Sitting upon the broad piazza of this house,
won by his own toil, in the shade of over-
hanging magnolia trecs, and full view of
Stanton, one of the most formidable works
erected for the protection of the capital,
viewing also Arlington Heights, the Soldiers’
Home, the legislative halls of the Nation
and the long bridge which leads to Virginian
soil, the enslave, surrounded by books,
papers, and magazines, with well-executed
pictures and busts of Sumner, Phillips,
Garristm, Lincoln; and the rest, near at hand,
spends the time which he can spare from his
official duties as United States Marshall of
the District 'of Columbia. In this house, so
surrounded, he told me the story of his life.
a story full of strange incidents, exciting ad-
ventures. deep sorrow, and many tribulations,
ultimately great triumphs.
II
The Story of a Life.
Frederick Douglass was :born upon the
eastern shore of Maryland, in a half-famine-
stricked district known as Tuckahoe, a dis-
trict which in the olden time was noted all
over the State for the sterlity of its soil, the
Wretcheduess of its negro inhabitants, and
the profligacy, slovcnliness, and dissipation
of the white men, who, by some inscrutable
dispensation of Providence, were for a time
permitted to lord over them as their owners
and masters. The exact date of his birth
Frederick Douglass does not know. As to
who his father was he has never been fully
informed. Upon this subject he'can only
say, with touching pathos : “Genealogical
trees did not flourish among slaves. Aper-
son of some consequen‘ce among freemen,
sometimes designated father, was literally
abolished in slave law and slave practice. It
was only occasionally that an exception was
found to this system. As to the time of my
birth,,’ he continued, “I am equally indis-
tinct. Indeed, I seldom knew a slave who
could tell exactly how old he was. for slave
mother knew nothing of the months. There
was no family record among them. They
measured the ages of their children by Spring
time. Winter-time, and planting—time, and
naturally, little by little, even these designs-
tions became obliterated. From certain
events which subsequently occurred. hoWever,
I'am led to believe shat I was born about the
year 1817. ”
One of the earliest recollections of this
child, who came into the world thus un-
heralded, unrecorded, unprotected by the ties
of family, was his separation from the old
grandmother who had been permitted by his
master and owner to so nourish his infancy
that he might become the more valuable as a
chattel. Tuckahoe was situated some miles
from the so—cnlled “home plantation” and
one day, when he was about 7 years old, the
boy Frederick, by one device or another, was
enticed to leave the old cabin, which to him
was home, and to go to the slave settlement,
where his troubles were to commence.
Arriving at the mansion of the “old master,”
whom even at that early age he had learifid
to dread as some mysterious and ill-favored
personage, his grandmother, weeping bitterly
all the time, pointed out to him number of
children somewhat older than himself, and
assured him that they were his brothers and
sisters. This was {indeed the case—that is
to say, _the same mother had borne them.
Heaven only could tell who their father
was. Brothers and sisters though they were
however, their presence stirred no pulse of
affection in the slave boy's heart. He knew
no friend in the world, no relative save the
kind old woman who had cared for his
infancy, and with an instinctive dread of
what was to come he clung with the grip of
despair to her skirts. It was only by much
coaxing that he could at length be induced
to mingle with the children. Still he took
no part in their play, but for several mo-
ments stood thoughtfully watching their
gambols. Then, suddenly, one of them
running up to him with a sort of half mock-
ing laugh, sent misery to his heart by crying
out: ‘
“Fad. Fed, 011. Fed, grandma she done
gone—grandma done gone left you!"
It was but too true; the only protector
whom he had learned to love, her own heart
.breaking at the sacrifice, impelled to go as
she did by, the knowledge of the cruel con-
sequences whichgmust follow disobedience,
had abandoned the child to the keeping of
those who assumed to own its soul and its
body. c
It has generally been supposed that even
during the worst days of slavery, Maryland,
bordering asit did upon the free North, was
exempt. from much of the cruelty practised
“Don negroes in the far distant sugar and
cotton States. Upon many of the Msrylagd
plantations, particularly upon those lying
near the great thoroughfares of travel, this
might have been the case. It was 'not true
however, of the estate to which Frederick
Douglass belonged. Thst “home plantation”
on the eastern' shore, lying near no town,
settlement, or village, with no court of jus—
tice or school house in the neighborhood,
with no shadow of law save the law of the
slave-holder and of his overseers, was as
completely a domain in itself as it would have
been were it isolated by wide seas from all
the rest of the civilized world, There was
no public opinion to protect the slaves from
the cruelty of their task masters, there was
no national or State statute to restrain those
task-masters. The overseerer 1n one person
constituted accuser, Judge, jury, and lb only
too many cases the executioner also. It was
upon such a plantation, he being one among
sthousand or more other chattels, that the
subject of this sketch passed the days of his
early youth. q
The bill in question is now the cen#
When his grandmother was forced to de-
sert him as described, with a company of
other slave children, he was placed under the
care of a sort of universal relative known as
“old Aunt Katei" It was the duty of this
woman, a black virago Mr. Douglass has since
called her, to deal out to the childr 11 under
her care the corn-meal and scraps of bacon
which almost exclusively constituted their
food. For some unaccountable reason, she
took a violent dislike to this child “Fred,”
and he has since related that because of her
hostility to him he was frequently. almost 11p-
on the.verge of starvation.
Regarding this timain his life he has since
written: “Want of food was my chief
trouble the first Summer at my old master’s.
Oysters and clams would do well with an
occasional supply of bread, but in the absence
of bread they soon failed. I speak but the
simple truth when I say that I have often
been so pinched with hunger that I have
fought with dog, old “Nep,” for the smallest
crumbs that fell from the kitchen table, and
have been glad when I won a single crumb
in the combat. Many times have I watched
the wailing-girl when she' went to shake the
table—cloth, to get the crumbs and smgll
bones flung out for the cats. The water in
which meat had been boiled was as eagerly
sought for by me, It was a great thing to
get the privilege of dipping a piece of bread
in such water, and the skin taken from rusty
bacon'was a positive luxury."
III
“In the Good Old Slavery Days.”
It will be remembered that one of the
boasts of those whoowned slaves in the Olden
times was that better chattels were better
cared for, more comfortably housed and
abundantly fed, than were the peasantry of
any country in the Old World. The exper-
ience of Mr. Douglass during his bondage
does not bear out this statement. He is
very distinct in his recollection of that time
and with much minuteness relates that the
men and women who were slaves on the
estate of his master received as their monthly
allowance of food eight pounds of pickled
pork or its equivalent in flesh. The meat
was often tainted“ and the fish of the very
poorest quality. With the pork or fish the
slave received 9 e bushel of Indian meal,
which was unbol ed', and of which fully 15
per cent. was hardly fit to feed pigs. This,
in addition to one pound of salt, was the
entire monthly allowance of a full-grown
man or woman, who was required to work
constantly in theopen air, from early morn—
ing till night, every day in the week except
Sunday. The raiment previded for the
slaves-was quite as inadequate as was their
food. The yearly allowance of clothes for
grown slaves comprised two shirts of “tow
linen,” such material as that from which the
coarsest crash towels are made; one pair of
trousers of the same material for Summer,
and a pair of trousers and a wooden jacket
sewed together in the coarsest fashion for
Winter; one pair of yarn stockings and one
pair of shoes of the very worst make.
and who, in consequence, were of no profit
to the masters, were entirely disregarded.
In most instances neither clothes nor'food
were given them. Mr. Douglass remembers
that numbers of children, from 5 to 10 years
of age, upon the plantation of his master,
were seen constantly destitute of covering as
are the heathens in the wilds of Africa, the
girls being no better provided for than the
boys. The shelter given to the slaves was
not nearly so good as ordinary farmers would
supply -to their dogs or pigs. Even .1110
common laws of decency were outraged in
the imost flagrant fashion. Old men and
young men, girls and women, married and
single, children and gr dmothers slept to-
gether upon the common floor, scantly cov—
ered by filthy blankets, and huddled in each
others’ arms for better protection against the
cold.
Nor was the treatment which the slaves
received frothose who had authority over
them calculated to compensate for the lack
of the physical eomforts described. Whip—
pings of the most. cruel 'description were of
frequent occurrence. Indeed, one of Mr.
Douglas’s earliest recollections was the hor—
rible flogging of an unfortunate quadroon,
girl, who, loving a man of her own color,
refused to submit tolthe embraces of her
master. '
Another instance of this terrible’ time in
his life Mr. Douglass recalls with great vivid-
ficss. Upon the estate of his master wags
woman known, as Mellie—surnames, as it is
perhaps needless to state, were not fashiona-
ble among slaves. This woman waslaccused
by one of the overseers of having been
“impudent” to him, an offense on the part
of a slave regarded as one of the most un—
pardonable. ‘ To punish it the overseer
threatened to flog the woman, and caught her
arm for that purpose. His efiorts toIrag her
to a tree to tie her to it were stoutly resisted-
In lond screams she declared than she would
not be beaten, and, with a fury almost of a
maniac, tried to release herself. Three of
her children, ranging in age from 7 to 10
years, came gallantly to her assistance. One
of the boys left the imprint of his little teeth
in the overseer’s leg. The woman herself
scarred his face with her toil-harned
finger nails, but she fought' 1n vain. The rope
was at last about her arms, she was tied to
the tree, and, with the strength of a giant,
while the agonizing cries of herself and her
children resouuded all about, the cowardly
overseer tore her flesh with the cruel raw-
hide, never desisting until the poor wretch
was almost dead from fright and loss of
blood. Terribly as the woman had been
beaten, however, there was no evidence that
her defiant spirit had been broken. She was
silenced, but not undaunted. And in this
connection it is of interest to' note that one
of the faults which slave-holders frequently
found _with one or another of their chattels
was that he or she was a “silent nigger.” By
evrry means possible the bondmen were in-
duced to makea noise. The sullen silence
.of despair was always dreaded by well- train.
ed overseen, and a slave who could sing
and keep his companions in the field cheer-
fulwas always highly prized. To this fact,
among others, many persons who were fa-
miliar with the inner workings of the insti—
tution of slavery attribute the marked incli—
nation which the bondsmen displayed to be
continually, while working, engaged in
some chorus or song. Regarding this sub-
ject Mr. Douglass in later years, with much
force, said:
~‘I did not, when a slave, understand the
deep meanings of those rude and apparently
incoherent songs. I was myself within the
the circle, so that I neither saw nor heard as
those without might see and hear. They
told a tale which was then altogether beyond
my feeble comprehension; they were tones,
loud and deep, breathing the prayer and
complaint of souls boiling over with the
bitterest anguish. Every tone was a testi.
mony against slavery and a prayer to God
for deliverance from chains. The hearing of
those wild notes always depressed my spirits
and filled my heart w1th ineifable sadness.
The 15cm recurrence, even now, afiiicts my
spirits, and while I am writing these lines
my tears are falling. To those songs I trace
my first glimmering conceptions of the de-
humanlzing character of slavery. ' I can never
get rid of that conception. Those songs still
f0110W me, to deepen my hatred of slavery
and quicken my sympathies for my brethren
in bonds. If any one wishes to be impressed
with a. sense of the soul-killing power of
slavery, let him go to 001. Lloyd’s plantation
and, on allowance day, place himself in the
deep pine woods. and there {let him, in all
Children who were not old enough to work,
once, thoughtfully analyze the sounds that
shall pass through the chambers of his soul,
and if he is not thus impressed it will only
be because ’there is no flesh in his obdurate
heart.’ ” _
The reader of these lines, written by‘ man
who himself had tasted of the bitterness of
slave life, may well believe that the songs of
the bondmen were not quite those outpour-
ings of joy and happiness which even to this
day many an old slave- dealer would have
the pubis belicve.

“MY DEAR LEMOYNE:
“I have been intending to write to you for
along time, but have been to busy. You
never saw such a busy country as th’s. It
just took me off my legs when I first came
out here. I thought I knew what it meant
o ‘git up and git.’ Nobody ever counted
me hard to start or slow to move down in
that country; but there—God bless you.
Le Moyne, I found I wasn't half awake!
Work ? Lordl Lordl how these folks do
work and tear around i It don’t seem so very
hard, either, because when they have any—
thing to do they don’t do nothing else, and
when they have nothing to do they make a‘
business of that too.
“Then they use all sorts of machinery, and
never do anything by hand power that a horse
-can be made to do, in any possible way.
he horses do all the ploughing, sowing,
hoeing, harvesting, and in fact, pretty much
all the farm-work, while the man sits up on
a sulky-seat and fans himself with a palm-
leaf hat. So that, according to my reckoning
one man here counts for about as much as
four 1n our country.
“I have moved from where I first settled,
which was in a county adjoining this. I
found that my notion of just getting a plan-
tation to settle down on, where I could make
a living and be out of harm’s way, wasn’t
the thing for this country, nowhow. A man
who comes here must pitch in andcount for
all he’s worth. It’s a regular ground-scuffle,
open to all, and everybody choosing his own
hold. (Morning, noon, and night the world
s awake and alive; and if a man isn’t awake
00, it tramps on right over 'him and wipes
him out, just as a stampeded buffalo herd
goes over a hunter’s camp.
“Everybody is good-natured and in dead
earnest. Every one that comes is welcome,
and no questions asked. Kin and kin-in-law
don’ I: count worth a cuss. Nobody stops to
ask where you come from, what’s yyr poli—
tics, or whether you’ve got any religion.
They don’ t care, if you only mean business
They don’t make no fuss over nobody, There
ain’t much of what we call ‘hospitality’ at
the South, making a grand flourish and a. big
lay—out over anybody; but they just take it,
as a matter of course, that you are all right
and square and honest, and as good as any-
body till you show up'difierent. There ain’t
any big folks nor any little ones. Of course
there are rich folks and poor ones! but the
poor are just as respectable as the rich, feel
as big, and take up just as muchvof the road.
There ain't ~_ any crawling or cringing here.
Everybody stands up straight, and don’t give
nor take-any sass from anybody else. The
West takes right hold of every one that
comes into it and makes him a part of itself,
instead of keeping him outside in the cold to
all ete1;nity, as the South does the strangers
who go there.
“I don’t know as you’d like it; but if any
one who has been kept down and put on, as
poor men are at the South, can muster pluck
enough to get away andtcome here, he'll
think he’s born over again, or I’m mistaken.
Nobody asks your politics. I don’t reckon
anybody knew mine for a year. The fact
is, we’re . all too busy to fuss with our
neighbors or cuss them about their opinions.
I’ve heard more politics in a country store in
Hosf'ord in a day than I’ve heard here in
Eupolia in a year—and we've got ten thousand
people here too. I moved ,here last year,
and am doing well. I wouldn’t go back and
live in that d-—d hornets heat :that I felt
so bad about leaving—not for the whole
State with a slice of the next one throwedin.
“I’ve meant to tell you, a half dozen
times, about that little Yankee gal that used
to be at Red Wing; but I’ve been half afraid
to, for fear you would get mad about it.
My wife said that when she came away
there was a heap of talk about you being
sorter ‘sweet’ on the ‘niggSr school marm.’
I knew that she was sick at your house when
I was there, and so, putting the two
together, I ’llowed that for once theremight
be some truth in a Hosford rumor. I kicked
you, which she wouldn’t stand a speck about
doing, even if you were the President, if
didn't come up to her notion. I’ts a mighty .
high notion, too, let me, tell you ; and the man
that gits up to it ’11 have to climb. Bet your
life on that 1
“But that’s all no matter. I reckon you’ll
be glad to know how she’s gettin’ on ’out
here, anyhow. She come here not a great
while after I did; but, bless your stars, she
wasn’t as green as I, not by any manner of
means. She didn’t wan’t to hide out in a
quiet part of the country, where the world
didnt turn around but once in two days.
‘No, sir! She was keen—just as keen as a
razor-blade. She run her eye over the map
and got inside the railroad projects somehow,
.blessed if I know how; and lhen she just
went off fifty miles out of the track others
was taking, and bought up all the land she
could' pay for, and got trusted for all the
credit that that brought her; and here she
is now, with Eupolia building right up on
her land, and just a busting up her quarter-
sections into city lots, day after day, till you
can’t rest.
“Just think on’t, Moynei It’s only three
years ago and she was teaching a nigger
school there ‘in Red Wing; and now, God
blessyou, here she is, just a queen in a city
that wasn’t nowhere then. I tell you, she’s
ateami Just as proud as Lucifer, and as
wide awade as a hornet in July. She beats
anythingI ever did see. She’s given away
enough to make two or three, and I’ll be
hanged if it don’t seem to me that every
cent shc'gives just brings her in a dollar.
The people here just worship her, as they
have a whole lot‘of them Red Wing niggers
here, and has settled them down and put
them to work, and made them get on past
all expectation. She just tells right out
about her having taught a nigger school down
in llEIosford, and nobody seems to think a
word on’t. Iiyfact, b’lieve they rather like
her b’etter for it.
' I heard about her soon after she came
here, but, to tell the truth, I thought I was
a little better than a ‘nigger tcacher,’ if I was
in Kansas. 801 didn’t mind anything about
her till Eupolia began to grow, and I came
to think about going into trading again.
Then I came over, just to look around, you
know. I went to see the little lady, feeling
mighty ’shamcd, you may bet, and more than
half'of the notion that she wouldn't care
about owning that she’d ever seen me before
But, Lord love you! I needn’t have any
fear about that. Nobody ever had a hearter
welcome that she gave me, until she found
that I had been living only flft miles away
for a year and hadn’t let her now. Then"
she come down on me—Whew i I thought
there was going to be a blizz‘, sure
enough.
“ ‘Jordon Jackson,’ said she, ‘you just go
home and bring that wife and them children
here, where they can see something and have
a rest.’ , °
I
“I had to do it, and they just took to
staying in Eupolia here nigh about all the
time. 801 thought I might as well come
tco; and here I am, doing right well, and
would be mighty glad to see an old friend if
you could make up your mind to come this
way.‘ We are all well, and remember you as
the kindest of all. old friends in our time of
need.

fore, and never ’llow to do it again.

Dr. Prime’ 1: little granddaughter got into
his lap about New’Year’s time, and after
taking the pen out of his hand, asked him,
dcmurely : “Grandpa. how. long have you
been writing in this way? Ever sinc‘ was
a little dot, you have been writing, writing,
every time I come; did you always write
just so ?” Then her grandfather told her
how long he had been writing for other
people’s pleasure and profit. “The“ first
piece that I ever wrote for The New York
Observer was printed in that paper April 7,
1838. From that time to: this, about forty—
two years, ’with a brief interval, I have" been
writing‘every week»- and almost every day,
for The Observer. It is curious to see how
much one writes in such steady IWork.
Suppose a minister writes sixty pages every
week in making his sermons (less than ten
pages a day, and he can easily writs ten pages
in an hour or two,) he will write 3,060 pages
in a year, 30,000 in ten ydars, or 120,000 in
forty. I have written on an "average more
than five columns each week for forty years,
or 10, 000 columns“ 1n all; at least 150 volunies
of 400 pages each.”
Children pqisoned with'TObacco.
In one of the schools of Brooklyn a boy
thirteen years old, naturally very quick and
bright, was found to be growing dull and
fitful. His face was pale, and he had ner-
vdus twitching. He was obliged to quit
school. Inquiry showed that he had become-
a confirmed smoker. of cigarettes. ‘When
asked why he did not give it up he shed tears
and said that he had often tried but could
not. The growth of this habit is insidious
and its effects ruinous. The eye, the brain,

nothing but a cigarette,” is really “It is
nothing but poison.’! German and French
physicians have recently protested against
it. And a convention of Sabbath and secu-
lar teachers was recently held in England to
check it, It .was presided over by anemi—

The Danger of Good Times.
David Swing in the Alliance.
It will be a great mistake and a great, mis-
fortune if the return of good times shall
bring back the old fervor for property and
for adventure, which helped bring on all the
old panics and troubles. Memphis is round-
l'y denounced because, having had an awful
epidemic only last. summer, it did not, all
through the subsequent winter and spring,
toil earnestly to prevent a return of the pes-
tilence; but our prosperous north will de-
serve as much rebuke should it neglect any
wisdom or effort that might tend to prevent
a return of the old yellow fever of specula—
tion and adventure. Mortgages are a pesti-
lence and debts are a regular cholera. Estaes
die under them. Churches sicken and have
,to be sat up with at night, individuals pine
away, wives and children become dishearten-
ed and the financial grave digger is busy day
and night. Swamps and dii'ty houses were
the black death of Europe; debts are the
plague of America.
Should the dawn of‘good times become
also the dawn of a new vanity and extrava-
gance the end of another five years will find
the good times all gone again and the millions
which the farmers and workingmen now
possess or may possess all garnered ,up in the
money bags of a few companies which had
money to loan, and the gulf between the
many and the few will be wider than ever.
Let us not draw too much on a rosy
future, and under the new inspiration of the
times, rush out and buy more land, and more
costs, and bonnets, and gold watches. and
'pianos than we can pay for on the spot, and
not even all we can pay for unless the case is
one of clear demand.
In Wisconsin a few years ago the hop trade
set the state wild. The girls and boys picked
hops or grow them until the village churches
rustled with silk dresses on Sunday,and every
girl' In the state began to take music lessons,
and each fond parent bought for his frame
cabin a piano, and then set about to build a
house that would blend with the “Chicker-
ing,” or the “Hallet & Davis.” Now there
is no law in nature that limits the growth of
fools to Wisconsin, and no law which asso-
ciates silliness and hop poles. Tremendous
crops of wheat may wake up the dormant
foolishness of a community, and the more
thought that gold is coming over by the keg
full, may inflate thousands of human hearts
far beyond the strength of their material.
The hearts broken by love are not half so
numerous as the hearts broken by speculation
on borrowed funds.
But there' 1s a vice versa to this kind of
talk. Do not suspect the future and become
stingy. 0n the contrary we must all buy
needful and good things. Do not put off
your wife’s new bonnet until her patience is
perfectly exhausted; and do not put off the
new'house‘until you and she are so old that
you are just on the point of needing no house
at all; but seek the golden mean between a

Hubbard’s Newspaper Directorymublished
in New Haven, gives some interes ' g facts
as to the newspapers (classing all periodical
presses as such, of the world. There are
about 30, 000 such. publications altogether,
and at least half of them are printed' 1n the
Enghsh language One-third of the whole
000 are..published in the United States-
rmany has 5,000 ; Great Britain has 3,000;
France has 2,500, and it: shows how Paris
is France,that half ,of' the 2,500 are pub-
lished in that city. Zurich in Switzerland is
the greatest place for newspapers in the
world. With only 22 inhabitants, its four
dailies have a circulation of 26,000, more
than one to every inhabitant, though it is a
statistical theory that about ten people read
every newspaper printed. Besides these
dailies, Zurich has twelve other papers, and
the aggregate circulation of all is“ over 70,-
000. Milan 1n Italy (Italy is where the first
newspaper was published) has 275, 000 in-
habitants, and has more newspapers than
Boston, and seven times as many as Brook-
lyn. Brooklyn with 596, 000 inhabitants has
less than 25 publications. Algiers with 53, -
000 inhabitants, has as many papers as
Brooklyn, and Constantinople has twice as
many. The total number of copies of peri-
odical publications issued in a year in the
United States and Csnada is estimated at 2,—
300,000,000.
