STORY OF THE LAST SURVIVOR OF
THE NEGRO INSURRECTICN.
His Family \Verc Free and He too Longed
for Freedom—After a Vain Effort to
Run Away He “'35 at. Last Allowed to
Buy Himéeir.
There is living in Lexington an old
negro, Harry Slaughter, who is the
'lastsurvivo-r of the negro insurrection
of 1849. He was 'born on March 1:5,
1818, and grew to be a. man of remark-
able physique. - ,
In 1849 he was owned by Miss Sid-
ney Edmiston, who had at that time
one of the most_costly residences in
Lexington. She had a fondness for
male servants of gigantic proportions,
and on acount of his size'he was made
a dining-room man. Although well
treated, he longed for freedom. This
is the story he told one day of his at-
tempt to obtain it. He is now in
his eightieth year.
* “I was in my prime, going on 32
years old,” he said,
named Doyle came to me and told me
that he would pilot me across the
Ohio River for $100 and guarantee me
safe conduct. All my family were
free, the girl to whom I was engaged
to be married was freeborn, and I
wanted to marry my sweetheart as a
free man and not as a slave. On a
Saturday night in the first week in
August, 1849, Doyle and forty-five of
us n-egroes left Lexington by way of
the Russell Cave Pike. We were
armed with pistols and bowie knives.
’ I carried an old fashioned pepperbox
revolver and a large bowie knife. The
movement was afterward referred to
as an ,‘insurrection,’ but it was mis-
named. We did not intend to fight
unless attempts were made to capture
us, but we pledged ourselves that if
we were overtaken by white~men and
they made an effort to capture us we
would fight as long as possible.
“We travelled all night that first
night and remained hidden during the
day in the bushes. 'We ate roasted
ears of corn which we gathered from
the cornfields through which we pass-
ed. Sunday night we continued our
travels, and we reached a point by
daylight on Monday morning near
Ruddell’s mill.
On Tuesday night we were within
five miles of the,Ohio River.
“The news of our escape from Lex-
ington had reached the people of that
section, and a posse of twenty-five
men, including county oflicials, was
inrclose pursuit of us. The men scat-
tered in all directions, and only one
remained with me, a negro known as
‘Shad.’ When we reached the Licking
River we plunged in and swam and
Waded across. Then ten or a dozen
white men surrounded ' us. They
quickly captured Shad and tied him
but I was determined they should not
take me. I cried out in a. loud voice:
“ ‘I will not be taken! The man
that kills me is my friend! I had
rather die here and now than go back
to slavery!’ ‘
“Miss Sidney’s nephew, Maury Pin-
dell, had, unknown to nie, offered
$500 reward for my safe return to
Lexington. The men who had sur-
rounded me were working for this re-
ward, I afterward learned, and that
is the reason they did not try to kill
me. The men'tried to take me, and
as fast as they would come within
striking distance I would knock them
down. I fought them for.five minutes
with my fists. I had thrown my bowie
knife away for fear I might kill one of
them. When the ten men found they
could not capture me they called to
the other members of their posse, fif-
teen in number, who were on the
mountain; They came down. They
were led by a great big man with a
coarse voice. He wanted to know
why they didn’t take me. One of the
men told him that they couldn’t. The
big man got very mad and declare
that he had never seen a negro that he
couldn’t take. He made at me, and
when he came within striking distance
I knocked him down. Several of his
followers tried to help him out, but I
knocked them down as fast as they
came to me. Finally an old gentleman
with gray hair, who was calledtMajor
by the men, began talking to me. He
said they didn’t want to hurt me, and
if I would go with him he would take
me ‘to Brooksville and would not allow
me to be harmed. I respected his age
and his gray hairs and told him that
I would go with him.
“The next day they reached Brooks-
ville with us and I was kept in jail
for seven weeks. I was charged with
being one of the ringleaders of the ‘in-
surrection,’. but Madison C. Johnson,
Maury Pindell and Judge Graves came
down to Brooksville and interceded in
my behalf. They proved that we were

was taken back to Lexington and put
into Pulliam‘s negro jail. I was kept
there for a month or more. Miss Sid-
ney had a long talk with me and con-
sented to let me buy myself. I immed‘

my sweetheart, and in just five years
and six months from that day I had
paid every dollar of the 'borrowed
money, with interest, the total amount
being $987. All the other boys who
were with me during that struggle for
liberty are dead.

L HASN’T SLEPT IN 25 YEARS.
( Says He Has Forgotten How to Sleep, and
Is Still Hale and Hearty at 75.
For twenty-five long years John C.
Stutte, of St. Louis, has anot slept a
wink—for that period he, has not
known what sleep is. It is not a bad
conscience, either, that is keeping him
awake, for he has led the life of an
upright, good man, is a member of a
church and has always tried to do his
duty.
Stutte is nearly seventy years old,
and despite his strange affliction, he
bears his years remarkably well and
shows no trace' of his lack of refresh-
ful sleep. He is a well known figure
in St. Louis, and everybody knows
his history.
It was about a quarter of a century
ago that Stutte had an attack of mal—
aria, and in a momentof chills took
fifty-two grainsof quinine in one dose.-
Since that day he has not slept, for
the quinine produced such fearful
noises in his head that sleep is out
of the question.
At times the sounds resemble the
roar of a great mass of water falling
over giant rocks; at other times they
sound like the buzz and whirr of
wheelssawing their way through hard
wood. Then they change and sound
as though steam was escaping from a
boiler, mingled with the crash of
thunder.
So sleep was murdered by the noises
in his head, and he gave up all hope of
sinking into Morhpeus’s arms again.
Doctors gave ’no relief, although he
spent much money.
resigned himself to his fate, and did
the best he could without sleep.
Sometimes he stays in bed, merely
to rest the weary muscles and to close
his eyes, but he. does not sleep.
He declares that now he does not
miss sleep at all and has forgotten the
sensation of somnolence.
means downcast over his aflliction and
takes things philosophically. He is a
strong, powerful man. and will prob-
ably live for many years to come. He
served under Colonel Jefferson Davis
in the Mexican War and during the
civil war fought on the Union side.
Stutte’s neighbors believe implicitly
that he has not slept for a quarter of
a century, as does his family. He is
a bright man, and aside from deafness
produced by the noises in his head is
physically sound—New York Journal.
DAILY MAILS BY BIRDS.
Two Boys in Los Angeles Communicate
with an Island in the Pacific.
Out on the Pacific coast there has
been established what is probably the
most novel postal service in the world.
It isnot under government control,
and Uncle Sam has nothing to do with
the appointment of the operators.
This line is between Santa Catalina
Island, lyigfng twenty miles out to sea,
and Los Angeles, Cal., and the postmen
are trim, saucy little'carrier pigeons,
whose feathered coats, oddly enough,
are precisely the bluish gray shade
of the regulation postman's uniform.
Every day during the three summer
months, and sometimes twice a day,
these tiny messengers fly from the isl-
and, across the ocean channel and over
the land—fifty miles, air-line—to their
loft in Los Angeles, bearing beneath
their wings not only despatchesto pri-
vate persons, but a daily budget of
news for the city press.
The owners and originators of what
is now known as the Catalina Carrier
Pigeon Service are two bright Los An-
geles boys—the Zahn brothers. Cat-
alina Island is one of the most popu-
lar summer resorts on the Pacific
coast; therefore it came to pass that
every summer several thousand people
found themselves- literally “at sea,”
practically out OK from the outside
world. A steamer lands at Avalon, the
principal resort on the island, once
each day, arriving at 6 o’clock P. M.,
and returning to the main land at 7
o’clock the following morning. All
communication with the outside world
was, therefore, cut Off for twenty-four
hours at a time.
At first, the only thought was to send
private messages; but it soonoccurred
to the editor of one of the enterprising.
city dailies to have the daily correspon-
dence from the island transmitted by
the pigeon line. The experiment was
therefore tried—New York Herald.
INDIAN ASALVATION SHOUTER.
Red Eagle in “’ar Paint and Feathers
Now Heats a Tum Tom in the Army.
Lo, the poor Indian, from being an
imposing and historic figure in his-
tory and the novels of Cooper, has be-
come a hallelujah man and joined the
Salvation Army.
The red man in question is Red
Eagle. He is a real Indian and a
genuine red man from the , Iroquois
' tribe. Red'Eagle preaChes now, sings
now, exhorts‘ now, and, in the langu-
age of the Salvation‘Army, f‘plays the
tom-tom to save souls.”
i Red Eagle was converted to member-
ship in the Salvation Army during the
progress of the midwinter revivals in
California in 1896. Since that time he
has travelled the country over, preach-
Iing under the auspices ofthe Salvation
Army Corps. He speaks good English,
has a voice that is not as bad as it
might be, and his playing of the tom-
tom lends a flavor to the meeting that
is unsurpassed. Red Eagle appears at
every meeting in full Indian war paint.
He tells of his experiences in the dif-
ferent tribes of North America, and
his talk is always interesting and
proves very entertaining.
Red Eagle was a guest of Sitting
Bull at the time when the old chief
met his death. He says he witnessed
the shooting of the Sioux Chieftain
and assisted at his burial.—Ne-w York
Journal. ‘

The death of Li Hung Tsao may
mean a great deal for the cause of -
progress in China. He was not only
personally opposed to Li Hung‘Chang,

If all employers of labor would imi-

wages from 16% to 30 per cent. because
of the benefit he derives. from the. new

would be—for there is no disputing
the fact that plenty of work, at good
wages, makes the best kind of prosper-
ity, for the whole country.

is that if her trouble in Cuba is only
a riot, she offers the humiliating spec-

expenditure of hundreds of millions of
dollars; while on the other hand, if
the affair is a war, she must take the
consequences of its recognition as such

Mrs. Lease, the well-known Populis
speaker and worker, is to be Queen of
the Fall Festivities at T0peka, and will
reign for a week. During that time
she will wear a crown valued at $0,-
000. This is a queer decoration for a
Populist, but, taking a business view
of it, how much will that crown weigh,
with silver at its latest quotation, 57%
cents an ounce? Of course, being a
Populist crown, it will have to be of
silver.
The value of strong government as
contrasted with a‘ Weak one is well
shown by the difference in the methods
of handling fanatical outbreaks in
Brazil and'Indla. In the former coun-
try the rebellion has almost assumed
the form of an insurrection and the
crank-led rebels have Won an import-
ant victory over the Government
troops, while in india the first blow
struck by the followers of the “Mad
Mullah” meets with a response so vig-
orous as to throw them-into confusion.
The uprising is not ended yet, but that
it will ever gain such headway as the
one in Brazil is quite beyond the
.bounds of probability.

Divinity, and several of the University

PAY OF AN EMPEROR.
HI: Salary as Colour] of 50 Different nogl-
,‘mants Addslo His Income. '
Emperor William receives his salary
quarterly in advance. The money is
thrm counted by different function-
aries at the national treasury, and is
afterward placed in a number 01
strong boxes and carried to the royal
mail wagon, waiting at the door be-
tween the troop of mounted gendarmes.
After the load has been placed in the
vehicl. rhe Ministers of Finance of the
empire and of the Kingdom place the
seals of their respective offices upon
he door and accompany the Minister
of the royal household in his carriage
to the palace, the mail wagon, with
its escort of gendarmes, following im-
mediately behind. Not until the
money is actually deposited in the
vaults of Emperor VVilliam’s Berlin
palace. does the Minister of the house-
hold sign the receipts, which are made
out in the name of “Wilhelm Rex"
and “Wilhelm Imperator,” respective-
ly, one-half of the sum being derived
from the treasury of the kingdom of
Prussia and the other from the treas
ury of the German Empire.
Two days afterWard the court func-
tionaries receive their pay, but, al-
though the Emperor receives his saL
ary in advance, not one of the em-
ployes is similarly favored, so that the
Emperor is practically always three
months behind inthe pay list of his
household. The only exception which
the'Emperor makes is in the favor of
his consort, whose personal allowance
of £50,000 per annum is paid to her
quarterly in advance.
Arno great court in Europe are the
salaries so low as that of Berlin. Every
servant, high or low, is entitled to a
pension after working in the royal
household for twenty years.
Over and beyond the civil list re-
ceived by the Emperor from the treas-
ury of the empire and that of the
kingdom, he draws from the War De‘
partment full salaries for the different
military commands he assumes. As
Commander-in-chief of the army he is
continually appointing himself Colo-
ne1~in-chief of this or that regiment,
'which has thereupon the right to style
itself the “leib” or body regiment of
his Majesty. 'W’henever one reads in
the gazette that he has thus honored a
regiment in the army, one may take
it for granted that it entails an addi-
tion to his income in the shape of a
Colonel’s pay and allowances. Inas-
much as at the present moment he
holds the coloneldy of some fifty differ-
ent regiments, it will readily be seen
that this constitutes no lncousideruble
addition to his income, all the more as
the colonelcies carry with them forage
allowances for about 200 horses.—

It Was Unearth'ly Nice.
I have a pretty story of old Dr. Ly-
man Beecher’s second wife. Henry
Ward Beecher’s mother, says a writer
in the Dubuque “Times,” who came,
when she married. from a home of
taste and luxury to the bareness of a
country parsonage. Her rich, artistic
nature revolted against a sanded floor
or striped rag carpet in her parlor, and
she tacked down a canvas floor-cover;
ing, and then took out her oil paints
and painted it with graceful sprays of
flowers. After this work of art was
done, one of the deacons came to see
the pastor. He was shown into the’
parlor, but it was only after much
persuasion and many assurances that
he could be induced to set foot upon
such magnificence. He sat and gazed
at it till finally he burst out: "Well,
well, do you expect to have all this and
heaven, too?”—-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
