The Escape From Slavery. _
As to the-manner of his'eseape, Frederick
Douglass. for 'a long time maintained the
utmost silence. This he did because, as he
himself said at the time. “The practice of
publishing every new invention by which a
slave is known to have escaped from slavery
has neither wisdomnor necessity to sustain
it. Had not Henry Box Brown and his
friends attracted slave-holding attention to
the manner of his escape we might have had
athousand Box Browns per annum. The
singularly: easiest; pun adopted by William
and Ellen cans p‘érishe'd with its first using
because every slave-holder in the land was
apprised of it. The salt-water slave who

he went to the railway depot and-inst as the

upon it and went into the “colored car.”
At this time one of the rallying cries of the
dominant party was “Free Trade'andSail—

ample time for examination of colored pass-

companies were not: only i heldfresponsible
for the safe delivery 0f goods and passengers
but also, to a certain extent, for the value of
slave property which might escape over their
roads.“ HavingItIhis responsibility,_the con-
ductors and Other servants .of the railroads
were given authority to arrest and detain
those whom they ’hadfgood reason to believe
were slaves attempting to escape. As the

Abolition Party, he was very kindly treated
and much encouraged. But by the working
classesIabout the ship-yards he was made to
feel plainly that he was an unwelcome
jury and insult, the knowledge. that .he was
least a free man supporting him through
many' trials. ’ This sort of life he continued
for some years. and little by little ,his ‘con-
dition improved. His marked intellectual
ability, and his power as a public speaker
and writer on topics connected with slavery,
bought him into communication with Garri-
son and many of the other advanced advo-
cates of the emancipation movement, and
they were all glad to recognize in him a man
. worthy of esteem and admiration. Still his
every day life continued to be most disa-
I’gfceable, and at last having saveda little
I ' money and having renewed reasons Ito fear
that he might be recaptured and sold as a
' slave into the South, he made up his mind to
go to England.
Ix.
In A Foreign Land.
Of his experiences in England Mr. Doug-
lass still cherishes the liveliest recollections.
How he was treated there and what his im-
pressions and feelings-were is well told in the
following communication, which he wrote to
. . his friend William Lloyd Garrison on New
I Year's Day 1846.
“MY DEAR FRIEND Ganmsox: Up to this
time I have given no direct expression of
- the vievvs, feelings and opinions which I have
formeda'cspecting the character and condi-
tion of the people of this land. I have re-
frained thus purposely. I wish to speak ad-
visedly, and in order to do this I have waited
till, I trust, experience has brought my opin-
ions to an intelligent maturity. I have been
' - thuscareful, not because I think what I say
will have much effect in shaping the opin—
ions or the world, but because whatever of
influence I may possess, whether little or
much, I wish it to go in the right direction
and according to truth. I hardly need say
that in speaking of Ireland I shall be influ-
enced by no prejudices in favor of America.
I think my circumstances all forbid that. I
‘have no end to serve, no creed to uphold,
no Governmentto defend; and as to nation,
I belong to none. I have no protection at
home or resting place abroad. The land of
a slave, and spurns with contempt the idea
of treating me differently, so that I am an
outcast from the society of my childhood
and an outlaw in the land of my birth. ‘I
all my fathers were}. That men should be
patriotic into me perfectly natural, and,-as
a philosophical fact, I am able to give‘it an
intellectual recognition. But no further
can I go; If ever IIhad any patriotism or
any capacity for the feeling, it was whipped
out of me long since by the lash of the Amer-
ican soul drivers. ' .. - .
“In thinking of ‘America, I sometimes
find myself admiring her bright, blue sky,
her grand old woods, her. fertile fields, her
beautiful rivers, her mighty lakes, and now
crowned. mountains But 'my rapture is
soon checked, my joy is soon turned to
mourning. ;When _I remember that all is
cursed with the infernal spirit of slave
holding, robbery, and wrong; when I re-
member that with the waters'of her noblest
rivers the tears of my brethren are borne to
the ocean, disregarded and forgotten, and
warmflblood of my outraged siters, -I' am
filledr'with. unutterable loathing, and led to
reproach myself that anything could fall from
my lips in'praise of such Ia land. America
will not allow her children to love her. She
seems bent on compelling. those .I who would
be her warmst friends to be hcr'worst ene-
mies. May God give her repentance before
it is too late, is the ardent prayer of my
heart. I will continue to pray, labor, and
wait, believingthat she cannot always be in-
sensible to the dictates of justice 0? dead to
the voice of humanity. I
“My opportunities for learning the char-
acter and condition of the'people of this land
have been very great. I am traveled al—
most from the Hill of Howth to the Giant’s
Causeway to Cape Clear. During these
travels I have metwith much in the charac-
ter and condition of the people to approve,
and much to condemn; much that has filled
me with pain. I will not in the least at-
tempt to give any description of those scenes
which have givenme pain. This I will do
hereafter. I have written enough and more
than your subscribers will be disposed 'to
read at one time, of the bringht side of the
picture. I can truly say I have spent more
of the happiest moments of my life since
landing in this country. I seem to have un-
dergone a transformation. I live a new life.
The warm'and generous co-operation ex-
tended _to meby the friends of my despised
race; the prompt and liberal manner with
which the-press has rendered meits aid; the
glorious enthusiasm with which thousands
have flocked to hear the cruel 'wrongs of my

countrymen- portrayed ;‘the deep sympathy

people as white as any I oversaw in the
United States. I meet nothing to remind
me of my complexion. I find myself re-
garded and treated at every turn with the
kindness and deference paid to white people
When I go to church, I am met by no up-

about two years ago,.there was in Boston,
"scar the south-west corner of Boston Com-
mon, a menagerie. I had. long desired to see
such a collection as I understood was being
visited there. Never having had an oppor—
tunity while a slave, I resolved to seize this,
.my first since my escape. I went, and as I
approached the entrance to gain admission

Jackson’s meeting house, at New Bedford,.
and going up the broad aisle to find a seat I
was met by a good deacon, who told me in
‘a pious tone, ‘ We don’t allow nigger: here /'
Soon after my arrival in New Bedford from
the South I had a strong desire to attend the
Lyceum, but-was told, ‘They don’t allow
m'ggeraiz’n here.’ ' While passing from New
York to Boston, on the steamer Massachu-
setts, on the night of the 9th of ;December,
1843, when chilled almost through with the
cold, I went into the cabin to get' a little
warm. I was soon touched upon the
shoulder and told, ‘ We don't alhw nigger: in
here 1' On arriving in Boston from an anti-
slavery tour, hungry and tired, I went into
an eating house near my friends, Mr. Camp-
bell’s, to get some refreshments. I was met
by a lad in a white apron, who said. We don'
alww‘m‘ggers in here !’ A week or two
before leaving the United States I had a
meeting appointed at Weymoutb', the home
of that glorious band of Abolitionists, the
Weston family, and others. On attempting
to take a seat in the. omnibus to that place,
I was told by the driver, (and I never shall
forget his fiendish hate.) ‘I don’t allow
niggera in here !’ Thank heaven for the re—
spite I now enjoy! I had been in Dublin
but a few days 'when a gentleman of great
respectability kindly offered to conduct me
through all the public buildings of that
beautiful city; and a little afterward I found
myself .dining with the Lord Mayor. of
Dublin. What a pity there was not some
American democratic Christian at the door
of his splendid mansion to bark out atmy
approach, ‘They don’t allow niggera in here !’
The truth is, the peeple here know nothing
of the Republican negro bate prevalent in
our glorious land. They measure and es-
teem men according to their moral and in-
tellectual worth, and not according to the
color of their skin. Whatever may be said
of the aristocracies here, there is none based
on the color of a man’s skin. This species
of aristocracy belongs pre-eminently to the
‘land of the free and the home of the brave.’
I have never found it abroad in any but
Americans. It sticks to them wherever they
go. They find it almost as hard to get rid of
'as to get rid of their skins. ‘
,Liverpool, in company with my friend
Bufiiu rind several other friends, I went to
Eaton Hall,'the residence of the Marquis of
Westminster, one of the most splendid
buildings in England. - On approaching the
engers who came out with us in the Cambria
waiting for admission, as but one party was
allowed in the house at a time. We all had
to wait till the company withincame out,
and- of all of the faces expressive of chagrin,
those of the Americans were pro-eminent.
They looked as sour as vinegar and as bitter
as gall when they found I was to be admitted
on equal terms with themselves. When the
door was opened I walked in on an equal
footing with my white fellow-citizens, and
from all I could see, Ihad as much attention
paid ~me by the servants that showed us
through the house as any with "a paler skin.
As I walked through the building the stat-
uary did not fall down, the pictures did not
leap from their places, the doors did not re—
fuse to open, and the servants did not say,
‘ We don’t allow niggera in here !’
friends of freedom.” ~
The wish contained in the closing words
of this letter, 'so far as Douglass was con—
cerned, was to be abundantly fulfilled, for it
was in this same year of 1846Ithat» a number
of those who were internsted in 'him, at the
instance of Mrs. Henry Richards, 'of Balti-
more, one of the best friends, subscribed
sufficient money to purchase his freedom.
The result of these labors wasthe execution
of the following paper by his master:

day of December, in the year one thousand

T. HAUSIAN BELT.
JAMES N. S. T. WRIGHT.
With this paper in his possession, Mr.
Douglass was, of course, free from all fear
of" being again placed in a condition of
slavery. and with this dread prospect re-
moved he returned to America, and entered
actively upon the work of a public lecturer
and a writer for the anti-slavery papers,
which were then beginning to increase in
numbers and strength.

The Keith’s Furor-unmet.
[Golden Rule.)
Mrs. Keith called in one morning, and
judging by her nervous, restless manner, we '
concluded that her errand'wasn’t altogether
pleasant, to tell at least, but We tried to help
the little woman by being more chatty and
jolly than usual.- After she had conquered
her timidity sufficiently, she said:
"I called to ask a favor of you. Hetty. but
I’m afraid you won't thank me afterI tell you
something.” v ’
“Have no fears, but tell us about this
something." I replied, quickly. '
“Well, it has been several weeks that we
have heard a noise in our ell chamber that
we cannot account for. We have listened
and searched to no purpose. I tell you this
because I wanted you to stay nights with the
children next week, while husband and I go
to Rivcrvale. Thav. wouldn't object to ,
staying alone if it wasn’t for this mysterious
noise. I hope we shall understand about it
agmetime, for it makes the children so tim-
‘ .99
“What isit like ?” I asked.
“A loud knocking, then dying away grad-
ually; mother Keith says something terrible
is going to. happen, and these repeated warn-
ings are to prepare us.”
Worrying than, thought I, is what has
made the little woman so thin and pale the
last few weeks, and she wants to visit her
folks before the “something terrible” hap-
pens. I
“Come 1 Of course I, will, and I'll tell you
all about the noise when you return.” I re-
plied atoutly.
“I hope you will,” sighed the littlewoman,
“but I don't know, husband and I have fail-
ed." I .
“Well, I don’t intend to ; if husband- and I
have failed,” I laughed. ‘ .
“Just like you, Hetty; full of courage,"
replied Mrs.Keith, looking brighter and more
cheerful than she had for a month. “I can
depend on you, then.” '
"Of course,’! I replied, “I should be de-
lighted to ferret out the secret.” , .fi
Hitherto the Keiths had visited Rivervale
during the lull of farm work after hap'and
grain were housed, but the fear of that im—
pending “something” had changed the time
to mid-planting. -
' Although I had the reputation for courage
and persistent energy, I didn’t relish the’b
of ferreting out the Keiths’ forerunner; but I
had promised and was too proud to recent ;
besides, we were neighbors and friends.
The morning they started I went over to
help them off, knowing that there. are many
last things to say and do, even when we’re all
ready. The good-byes between parents and
children were really touching, and to an op-
positely constituted person from myself, the
scene might have been affecting ; but I laugh-
ed, threw- old shoes and hats for good luck,
and promised to superintend‘the sending of-a
postal daily. '
sewing and stay with you during the day,” I
said, after the Keiths were out of sight.
“No, thank you it ;' it is nights that we
‘want you,
replied.
“All right," I responded,laugbing to myself
the credulty of human nature.
The influence of my defiant manner was to
restore cheerfulness to that house; so we
spent a very jolly evening.
At 10 I said: “Now let’s go to bed, and if
we are disturbedfijust consider the captain of
this knocker-raid.” The first and sec—
ond night we all slept beautifully, and I
began a good-natured ridicule .of the Keiths’
forerunner, in which the children joined
heartily.
The third day it rained, not like Aunt Peg-
gy’s rainy that begun at uoon,for this began
at midnight and did faithful work for twenty-
four hours. Then three events occurred, al-
slmost simultaneously. The wind soughed
from the northwest through the old elms,
driving the dead tree branches against the
house roof, rattling the roof shingles, clap—
boards and blinds with such force that one
might think that allthe runners in Brookhill
had met at the Kciths’ for a genuine “lark”
there was such a racket, the old time-piece
' . banged out midnight, and the ‘real Keith
forerunner began operations in earnest. For
half :an hour I listened, the perspiration
breaking from every pore. My quickened
circulation cleared my brain of all sediment
of fear, if such a thing can exist in science,
and I sprang from the bed. I
“That knocking {is made by the wind,” I
said loudly, to re-assure {the children, who
were awake and asking all sorts of questions
in a whisper.
“Do you believe it, Hetty ?” asked Frank,
who was crouched trembilng just outside our
bed-room door.
' “Believe it ? of course I believe‘it. There
was no knocking till the wind rose. Now
bear it. It’s rythm, and melody, if it has any
is made by the northwest wind,” I said,quick-
ly. for my teeth were chattering and my
whole frame quivering with reaction. “We'll
light a lamp and investigate.”
“Oh, don’t Hetty, don’t! I’m afraid it's
something awful," moaned Frank and Benny.
“Guess not i Awful things generally come
to a head or die; but this, by your accounts
does neither," I replied laughing, and hold—
ing the lamp at arm’s length, as I stepped
across the beam’betweenthe main house and
open chamber. The knocking ceased, but I
stood. peering into the darkness.
“It stopped just so when fatherstepped in
here, and mother pulled him back she was
so scared." . , .
I _took another step. The sound begun
again. Then feet the lamp on the floor; a
draft from the direction that I had stepped
fanned the flame. I reached out my hand
and found a strong draft coming from a tilted
board upon which the wind had played the
knocking melody. I rapped it sharply, pro-
ducing the identical raps of the forerunner
that had sent the Keiths to Rivervale two
months before their usual visit. We all
laughed until our nerves were quiet, and then
retired and slept until sun-up. '
The next postal. with the following written
upon it, was dispatched to he Keiths:
Dam Panama's: I We know all about the
forerunner. ’Taint nothing We set out to
mail it, but eluded to wait and let you settle.
Hefty is a regular brick. She’d beat a gene-
ral anywhere. I’d like to vote for her to be
president,l.'or she wouldn’t scare or act spoony
about anything. Your affectionate sun.
. "So you fixed it, Hetty," said the Keiths,
before they alighted from their carriage.
“Yes, just come‘and see it," said the chil-
dren, leading the way.
“Well, well‘, how easy it is to be fooled,
especially when it’s dark, and meet all scares
happen in the dark,” said Mr. Keith.
Ever after that I was the personification of
everything that made living a success to the
Keiths. W
. Archie ,Hurd.
The history of this negro is one of the
most interesting tales of the “Peculiar In-
stitution.” He purchased the freedom of
himself, wife and daughter from his mis-
tress, a- Mrs. Hard, of Georgia, for the sum
of $1,675, money earned by his individual
exertions, besides paying $200 yearly rent
on his own person whilst accumulating the
money. Having bought and paid for him-
self and part of his family he was seized as
state property and forced to pay an addi-
tional $400 to prevent his being again sold
lnto slavery. He then, in May, 1852, came
north wheer his tax for being a man was not
8400 ' a year and located in New Haven.
Following Lincoln’s emancipation procla-
mation he went south and brought his re.
maining children and grandchildren, sixteen
in all, to New Haven at an expense of over
$900 The family thus reunited, became
good, industrious citizens," and soon 'had'
comfortable homes. Archie died a short
'time since at the age of eighty years, pol-
sessed of considerable property and respect-
ed by all who knew him..— Waterbury Amer.

According to Dr. Daciaren, of Scotland,
the types of insanity have changed with
modern times. Acute delirious mania, for
example, is comparatively rare, but mental
enfaeblement, attendedwith paralysis, is be.
coming more and more common, as a result
of the overwork and worry of the struggle
for existence at the present day.
It is generally supposed that the colors of
flowers are due to so many different mater-
ials, each color being a' chemical combination
entirely distinct from' the others. Prof.
Schuetzler, however,now advances the theory
that chlorophyl (the green'colo‘ring matter
which plants possess, and that the varying
colors and shades are produced by the action
of the acids or alkalie's of the plants upon
the chlorophyl. Experiments confirm this
view, to which further support is given by
the quite well established fact that the
changes in color of leaves in, autumn are due
to the action of their tannin upon the
chlorophyl. , ' '
Chemists have discovered that the presence
of very minute quantities of certain sub-
stances in certain liquids may be detected by
means of the electric spark and a photo—
graphic apparatus. If the Coloring matter

Fresh charcoal has been found to absorb

The changes in level of the earth's s'urface
which must have beenrapid and vast in
early geological ages, are yet in progress.
Aside from paroxysmal changes, such as the
volcanic upheavel» of'an island now and then.
great arears of land'in difierent parts of the
the globe are undergoing a slow process of
elevation or subsidence. In Greenland, a
subsidence is taking place. For six hundred
'miles, from Disco Bay to the Firth of Igaliko
the coast has been sinking for four centuries
past. Old buildings and islands have been
submerged; and the Moravian settlers have
had to put down new poles for their boats,
the old ones” standing, Lyell observes, ‘f‘as
silent witness of the ahange.” On the North
American coast south of Greenland, from
Labradore to New Jersey,it is supposed that
similar changes are going on. G. 11.0001:
concludes that a slow subsidence is in pro.
gress along the coasts. of Ne‘Jersey, Lang
Island and Martha’s Vineyard ;and, accord-
ing to A. Gesner, the land is raising at St.
John. in New Brunswick; sinking at the
island of Grand Menan; rising on the coast
opposite, at Batburst ; sinking about the
Bay of Fundy, where there are regions of
stamps submerged thirty-five feet at high
tide; and rising at Prince Edwards Island.
It is believed that, in the Pacific Ocean, the
region of the Coral Islands has in some
portions, sunk not less than six thousand feet
during coinpartively recent geologic times.
Surveys made in northern Sweden have
- shown, according to Lyell that the coast at
that pomt is rising at the rate of about four
feet in a century. I
It has been found by Gustav Hansen that
the antennae of insects serve as organs of
smell. ‘On their'removal or when coated with
paraflne, the insects become quite indiffer-
ent to the most odorous substances—flies,
for instance, taking, no further notice of
tainted meat.
It is asserted that if a person exposes
himself to the electric light for some time in
a close inspection or the same, his hands and
checks will show—if he be of fair complex
ion—all the symptoms of “sunburn,” even in
midwiuter,Iand he will develops freckles on
his countenance as quickly as when he goes
about unprotected by a sun umbrella in
midsummer. ‘
A prize of $200 in gold has been offered
by Mr. H. H. Warner, of Rochester, N. Y..
for the discovery of any comet during 1881.
The comet must be unexpected (with the ex-
ception of the comet of 1812) and telescopic,
and Prof. Lewis Swift, of Rochester, must be
immediately notified of its discovery.
The digestive process of a mosquitoc’s
stomach is so slowly performed that when
the insect has dined on a human being it
continues for forty-eight hours to exhibit
blood corpuscles.
An old sportsman has carefully preserved
in his house a spider’s web, which serves as
a novel and very delicate barometer. When
the insect .finds it necessary to shorten the
threads which suspend the web, rain and
wind may be expected; if reefs be let out,
fine weather is certain; if the spider remains
inert, rain will probably follow within a
short time. I

The New York Herald never declared a
greater truth, or one more widely ac—
cepted as such, than when it declared, in
connection with a. political question then
at issue in the city where it is published:
“When a. Catholic Irishman, the leader of
an Irish Catholic party, announces and
boasts that he will decide political con-
flicts in the neighborhood. as suits his good
pleasure, by means of the suflrages of thirty
thousand Irish Catholic voters upon whom
he can count, the people have an opportun-
ity tosee just what kind of an institution
the Catholic church is in politics, and to
understand what a farce it would be to
pretend that free government can continue
where it is permitted to touch its hands, to
politics, or, indeed, to exist, for where it
exists it will not leave politics alone. ~ This
is a Protestant country, and the American
people are a protestant people. They tole-
rate all religion, even Mohammedauism ; but
there are some points in all these tolerated
religions to which they object, and will not
permit, and the vice of the-Catholic church
by which it has rotted out the‘ political in;
stitutions of all countries where it exists-—
which has made it like a flight 'of locusts
everywhere—will be properly rebuked here
when it fairly shows its purpose.”
This may seem harsh criticism to some;
nevertheless,'all history endorses it as unim-
peachable evidence. '
, The question is can we afiord to give the
Romish church a very important place in
our politics? Let us look at a few facts and
see :
“Paragraph 43 of Pious IV’s famous ency-
elical letter is as follows: Public schools
open to all children for the education of the
young should be under the the control of the
Romish church, and should not be subject to
the civil power nor made to conform to the
opinions of the age.’ " ,
“The Sheplzerd of the Valley, a Roman
Catholic paper, says: ‘Protestantism. of
every kind Caiholicity inserts in her cata—
logue\ of moral sins; She endures when
and [where she must, but she hates it and
directs all her energies to effect its destruc—
tion.’ ” _ , ‘
“Speaking of the suppression of the
Protestant chapel in Rome, the Pittsburg
Catholic Visitor says: ‘When, we ask, did
we ever profess to be tolerant of Protestant-
ism, or to favor the doctrine that Protest-
antism ought to be tolerated ? On the con-
trary, we hate protestantism; we detest it
with our ;whole heart and soul, and we
pray that our aversion to it' may never de-
crease.’ ”
“Now, as to our common schools. The
Chicago Catholic. Tablet tells the whole story,
and the sentiments of the Roman church in
a few words. It says: ‘The common schools
of this country are sinks of moral pollution,
and nurseries of hell.’ ”
Thisis but the lifting of the curtain that
exposes'to view what the Romish church
teaches here and everywhere.
Mr. Cooke makes another very pertinent
suggestion when he says, in substance, that
“our laws ought tobe made in America in-
stead of on the banks of the Tiber ;" but this
part of the question must be :left to another
article. anI DarrNson.
