Spocial Correpordonce Philadelphia Press. New York, October 20.—The name of Fred Douglass is one of the best known in the country, and the fact that he, a colorod man, escaped from slavery at a time when the Un- derground railway was running its ‘K‘:fiflll! trips is also well known. The manner ,of his esoapo, however, has never until now been told. By the kind permission of the editor of The Century Magazine (formerly Serib. net's Monthly) I am permitced to a fow extracts from Mr. Douglas natrative of his escape, printed inthat magazino tor the first time. To tell the whole story in this letter would not be fair to the magazine, so I shall only touch upon some few f the inci- for freedom. Though often asked to write the story of his cseape, Mr. Douglass has re- fused or the grounds that whilo sla. very oxisted there were a good many reasors for not telling the story, and since it had ceased to exist, thore was no reason for telling it. He has at last been prevailed upon to tell the tale. Those persons who expect a sensational story will be disappointed. There is, however, in the simple nar- ration a pathos that all who read it must feel. It is a record of courage that could risk betrayal, and bravery that was ready to encourage death if need be, But these qualities wero not largely drawn upon. Address and cunning were of more use and they won the day. Nearly half a century ago, when Douglass made his escape from slavery, it was the custom in the state of Mary- land to require all free colored people to be provided with ‘‘free papers,” without which they were not permit- ted to travel, A description of the person was given in these papers, and the person was examined very rigidly to mako good his identity. A slave answering to the general desription would sometimes borrow or hire his papers from a free negro, but this was a critical thing to doand oftenresulted disasterously to both the owner and the borrower. Douglass' answered no description papers he had seen, so that gnn could not be adopted in his case. o had a friend—a. sailor—who' was provided with certain government Pnpun that had at least an official ook. Baltimore was his starting int. He arranged with a friendly ackman to take his luggage to the station and arriving there himself just in time to jump aboard the trai ing in the confusion attending arture to avoid exciting suspicion. 0 story is best told in Douglass’own language: “In my clothing T was rigged out in sailor style. I'had ona red shirt and a tarpaulin hat, and a black cravat tied in sailor fashion carelessly and loosely about my neck. My knowl- edge of ships and sailor's talk came much to my assistance, for I knewa ship from stem to stern and from keel- son to cross-trees, and could talk sailor likean ‘old salt.’ ' I was wellon the way to Havre de Grace before the conductor came into the negro car to collect tickets and examine the papers of his black passengers. This wasa critical moment in the drama. My whole future depended upon the de- cision of this conductor. Agitated though I was while this ceremony was roceeding, still, externally at least, was apparently calm and self-pos- sessed. He wenk on with his duty, examining several colored passengers before reaching me. He somewhat harsh in tone and peremptory in man- ner until he reached me, when, strange enough, and to my surprise and relief, his whole manner changed. Seeing that I did not readily produce 'my free papers, as the other colored per- sons in the car had done; he said to me, in a friendly contrast with his bearing toward the others:” “I suppose you have your free pa- pers?” To which I answered: “No, sir; I never carry my free pa- pers to sea with me,” “But you have something to show that you are a freeman, haven't you?” Yes, sir,” I answered; ‘‘I have a pa- per with the American eagle on it, and that will carry me around the world,” At Havre-de-Grace he met a young colored man whom he knew and who seemed curious to find out his business 8o far from home. He got rid of this difficulty anly to encounter another. At the window of a train, standing on aside track directly opposite the one he was in, sat 8 man for whom he had just been working at Baltimore. By good luck the man did not turn around, 8o he was undiscovered, On reaching Philadelphia he inquired his way to the New York trains and ar- rived in this city on the 4th of Sep- tember, 1838, a free man. But his troubles were not over. InNew York he found that it was hard to find a trustworthy man even of his own race, Large premiums were offered for the return of runaway slaves, and few of the miserable darkies in the city could withstand the temptation to betray a brother. FordaysDouglaes wandered homeless and hungry through the streets, Finally he found a good Samaritan who direcied him to the house of David Ruggles, one o the officers of the Underground Railroad, wholived on the corner of Church and Lispenard streets. There the poor runaway was hidden for several days and there he was joined by his intend- ed wife, a free woman from Baltimore, and they were married by a Presby- terian minister. From New York the newly-married couple went to New Bediord, Mass., where thoir free life began in earnest, 1t wasin New Bed- ford that Douglass, on the advice of a city after electih duly held authorizing thelr issue for the completion of Sewers partly constructed, and for the construc- tion of additional Bewers.

Explaining the Advantages of Sin. &lo Blessodness to an Impa- tient Lover From the New Brunswick Fredonian, They were seated together, side by sido, on the sofa, in the must approyv. ed lover fashion—his arm encircling her taper waist, etc. *‘Lizzio." he said, *‘you must have read my heart eore this; you must know how dearly I love you." “‘Yes, Fred, you have cértainly been very attentive, ’ said Lizzie. “*But Lizzio, darlrng, do you love me? Will you be my wife?” “Your K'ife, Fred! Of all things, 1o !No, indeed, nor any one else's. " ““Lizzie, what do you mean?" “Just what I say, Fred. I've two married sistors.” “‘Certainly, and Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Skinner have very gmxr husbands ¥ poople aay, but X woulds't ik \ o say, but I wouldn't like to ntnn[:lwn‘:l a(e{-er May's or Nell's shoes; that's all.” *‘Lizzie, you astonish me,” ‘‘Look here, Fred; I've had over twenty-five sleigh rides this" winter, thanks wLou and my other pentle- man friends,"” Fred winced a littlo here, whether as the rememberance of that ' unpaid livery bill or the idea of Lizzie sleigh- ing with her other gentleman friends, I cannot positively answer. ‘“‘How many do you think my sisters have had? Not a sign of one, either of them. Such pretty girls as May and Nellie wero, too, and so much attention as they used to have!” Now, Lizzie~— “Iam tond of going to the theatre occasionally as well as a lecture or concert sometimes, and I shouldn't like it if I proposed attending any such entertainment to be invariable told that times were hard and my hus- band couldn’t afford it, and then to have him sneak off alone.” “Lizzie, Lizzio—-" And then, if once in a dog's age he did condescend to go with me any- whero in the evening,I shouldu't like to beleft to pick my way along the slippery places at the risk of breaking myneck, he walking alongunconscious- 1{ by my side. ‘I'm of a dependent, clinging nature, and I need the pro- tection of a strong arm.” ::}auul:,n this isall nox'xlenle." 'm the youngest of our famil; and perhaps T've been spoileds st u’i‘l events, I know ‘it would break my heart to have my husbaud vent all the ill-temper which he conceals from the world on my defenceless head.’ “But’ Lizzie, I promise you that “Oh, yes, ¥red; T know what you are going to say—that you wilf be different; but May and Nell have told me time and again that no better husbands than theirsever lived. No, Fred; as a lover you are just perfect, and I shall hate awfully to give you up. 8till, if you are bent on marry- ing, there are plenty of girls who have not married sisters, or who are not wise enough to profit by their exam- ple, if they have. And don't fret about me, for no doubt I can’ find some one to fill your place—- But before Lizzie had concluded Fred made for the door, muttering something “‘unmentionable to ears polite ““There!” exclaimed Lizzie, as the door closed with a bang, “I knew he was no better than (Ee rest. He'd make a bear of ahusband; but I'msorry he came to the point 8o soon, for he was just a splendid beau.” Tis Rotatlor, e Moow. A finicky, fussy, round little man stepped up to the first waiter in a new oyster saloon in Sixth avenue and said: ‘“‘Have you got any really nice, fresh, good oysters?”’ “Yea, sir.” “Not too fat, you know—but not thin; either. I want them just ex- actly right, and I want them perfectly fresh."” “How will you have them—half shell?” ‘‘Stop a moment,"” said the little man; “if you have got juet the right kind in~ just the right con- dition, please take half a pint of small ones (not too small, you know), and strain the juiceoff them carefully, leaving just a little juice over them, Put them in a pan which has been scoured and dried, and then add a lit- tle butter, (good, pure butter), and a little milk (not New York milk, but real country cow’s milk), and then place the pan over a coal fire, and be careful to keep the pan in motion so as not to let the oysters or the milk burn; add'a little juice if you choose, and then watch t{m pan closely, so that the exact moment it comes to a boil ¥ou can whip it off. At the same time have a deep dish warming near at hand, and when you sce the first sign of boiling empty the pan into the dish.

A public school fifty years ago was & vory diffierent affair from what it is nowadays. Upon my word, whon I think of the whipping that went on day after day in the old Mayhew school, T am aston- ishied at it Yet, with the variety of corporal punishment so freely bestow- ed there was mingled n sort of ghastl sportive element, agrim humor whmiyl did not always commend itself to the ]v(‘n‘u{\(inu of him who received the ation. A merry conoeit, for in- stance, was that of Master Clough, The ingeninous person would diroct a culprit to stand upon the platform, near the desk, and without bending the knees, touch the floor with his fingers, Then a smart flourish of the rattan and a sudden blow would causo | g the unhappy youth to involuntarily re- sume an upright position with divert- ing rapidity. 1f was really very amus- ing (to Master Olough). Sometimes an offender would be asked by one of the musters which instrument of tor- ture he would choose the riding-whip, the ruler, or the rattan. Whichaver he secmed to prefer was not the one used, but one of the others would make him smart. This little change would have a healthful moral influ. ence upon the scholar, teaching pa- tience and resignation under disap- pointment. A pleasant illustration (to the teacher) of the irony of fate was shown in another way, When the stock of rattans ran low (and that was not luldmn{ ome victim in dis- grace would be dispatched for a frosh supply, knowing that on his return he wnul\{fcul the first stroke of the rod, With wha¢ ingenious refinement of torture the victim was thus made to :ind the weapon that should wound him! There was another diversion of our kind-hearted maaters which in sum- mer, when the days were long, occa- sionally broke the monotony of school- boy life. Sometimes, of a sultry July afternoon the sound of voicos in the room grow fainter and fainter, his head would droop and finally sink up- on his desk: and he would quickly be in the land of dreams. Then it was that the master, seizing his rattan and stealthily yot joyfully striding across the rows of desks, would give the sleeping wrotch such a rousing whack as to astonish and confound as well as suddenly awake him, I confess' that theso diversions of the pedegogue were not without their attraction for us who looked on and saw at_the contortions of the boys whose fortune it was at the moment to be under discipline, The fact that our turn might come next did not pre- vent us from finding what entertain- ment we might in what our master ev- idently enjoyed. None of us had yet read the maxims of the cynical La Rochefoucauld, but we realized that under certain circumstances there is something in the misfortuncs of our friends that gives us a certain sort of satisfaction, Those weregindeed days when flog- ging was administered in no homao- pathic doses. but with a most heroic ullness of practice, Ionce made a careful estimate of my own experience in that way, and came to the conclu- sion that I had averaged aboutd whipping and a half a day during m, connection with the Mayhew school. Of course we became somewhatinnred to this rough treatment, It was con: sidered the proper thing te suffer with. Spartan firmness, and he who while laid across the master'sjknee could calmly make comical and derisive, faces from his ignominous position, for the entertainment of his associates, without having his' attention diverted to other parts of his body, wasac- counted a brave fellow. = Then there was a superstitious belief that by lay- ing one’s eyelash in the hand that was about to be feruled, the accursed wood was sure to be shattered on coming in contact with the magic hair. ButI never saw oneshattered. Liguid Gol Dan’l Plank, of Brooklyn, Tioga county, Pa., describes it thus: rode thirty miles for a bottle of THONAS' EOLECTRIC O1t, which effected the wonderful cure of o orooked limb in six applications; it proved worth more than gold to me.” 17eod1w A Powerful Light. A new olectric revolving light, to be placed on South Head, Macquarie arbor, Sydney, Australia, was re- cently exhibited by the makers, Messrs, Chance Brothers, of Birming- ham. It is called a first order, diop- tric, revolving light, with the electri- cal arc, The lamp has a special ar- rangement of prisms for securing verti- cal divergence of the beam. 1'isover six feer in diameter, and the height is about nine feet, and it is said to he the first time such dimensions have been applied to illumination by the electric arc. The lsmp or regulator has a power of about 12,000 candles in the focus of light, and the merging beam has a Juminous intensity -ex- ceeding 12,000,000 candles. The light will give flashes around half the horizon at intervals of a minute, and will make a complete revolution every sixteen minutes, On an ayerage the light will be visible a distance of forty fifty miles, Its makers claim that it will be the largost and most power- ful light in the world.
