Abduction of an Arkansas Girl.

About two years ago, we gave an ac- count of the abduction of a white girl, (says the Washington Telegraph, ) who, i[ was said, resided in Arkansas. IL was stated that she had been persuaded to leave her residence by a person who represented that he had received instructions from her friends in California. to take her there, by the way of New Orleans. Alter being detained in that city for some time, she finally ascertained that she had been sold as slave, and made her case known 10 the keeper of the parish prison in Carroll ton, through whom it was made public. The New Orleans Mirror, of the 27th ult., publishes the following article, which refers to her:
 An interesting case was tried in the Fifth District Court, about a week ago. A pretty brunette, about seventeen years of ago, calling herself Alexina Morrison, had been sold to James White, negro- trader in this city, as slave. About eighteen months ago she ran away, and sought protection as white girl, in Car rollton. A suit for her freedom was in- sttuted forthwith. At the trial of the
 
 case, in Carrollton, the jury failed to agree, and by change of venue, the case was transferred to this city The trial in the Fifth District Court occupied three days, and as scientific experts were unable to find any evidence of African descent in the girl, verdict establishing her status, as free white girl, was rendered by the jury. It was set forth in the pleas that she had been kidnapped from her home in Arkansas. and sold into slavery. A good deal of enthusiasm was manifested around the courtroom in favor of the girl, and a collection on her behalf was at once made. It is likely that the decision in the case will be followed by sui, for dana- ges, and if it can be made to appear that the person who purchased her had reason to suspect that she was free, he will be heavily mulcted in the premises

THE NEW MAGAZINE. 'i
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY
THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.


THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
LNRST In Literature, to leave no province
IL unrepresented, so that, while each num-
Der will contain articles of an abstract and per-
manent value, it will also be found that the
healthy appetite Of the mind for entertainment
in its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not go uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, also, that while native writers will
receive the most solid encouragement, aud will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages Of the AT
LANTic, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require. relying rather on the competency
of an author to treat a particular subj ect, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome WHEREBY
er the English language is spoken or read
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
true and fearless representative Of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations Of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of noparty or clique, but willhonestly en-
deavor to be the exponent of what Its condlc-
tors believe TO be the American Idea. 1t will
deal frankly with persons and with parties, en-
deavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of a true
and lasting national prosperity 1t will not
rank itself with any set of antics, but with that
boz y Of men which is in favor of Freedom, Ma.
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.
TERMS: Three Dollars year, or Twenty five
Cents number, and may be obtained of Book

Early this morning there were added
to our company Of travellers, pair who
looked verylike runaways. The gentle
man was tall, raw boned specimen of

and the lady was fair match for him.

when young man stepped up and ad-
dressing him said:
"We're going to have wedding, and
would like to have you officiate"
"All right, sir" he replied laugh
ing; and We stepped into the ladies' cab
in, when sure enough, the couple stood
waiting. There had been some kiss
ing games, "and several mock marriages
gone through with during the evening
and supposed this was merely conln-
uation of the sport and so thought the
preacher who, l could see, had great
deal of humor in him, and was inclined
to promote general good feeling and mer.
riment. The couple stood up before him,
good deal more solemn than was neces
sary in mock marriage Thought, and
the preacher asked the necessary ques
tons, and then proceeded in the usua
way, pronounced them husband and
wife. There was good deal of fun af
terward, and when it was over I left the
cabin, and SO did the preacher who re
marked to me that he liked to see young
folks enjoy themselves, and took COCO
deal of pleasure in contributing to theil
fun but he did not understand why they
should select him to act as preacher
Just then some one called me aside, and
the old gentleman stepped into his state
room, which was next to mine. When
returned, the door stood open and the
preacher stood just inside, his coat anc
vest off, and one boot in his hand, talk
ing with the gentleman who had played

remarked, "well, if that is the case it i

How to Keep Sweet Potatoes.

Since the rot in the Irish Potatoes has
become SO common, keeping the Sweet
Potaloe through the winter has become
an object of interest to all classes of peo-
pie. AS l have had eight years of ex
perience in the business, | think / know
something about it am therefore will

about the thing.
use dry sand to put them up init
don't matter how the sand is dried, on a
kiln, in a log heap, or in the sun, SO
that it is dry is all that is required. l
prefer drying in log heap, as it costs
at least four times less and is just as
good. Any family that has little room
with stove in it, may keep box or
two of eight or ten bushels, without
much Inconvenience. The boxes must
be raised six or eight inches from the
floor, and they must not be nearer than
four inches of the wall. Fill the box
with potatoes, and then put in the sand,
cover the potatoes with sand. There is
a good deal said about kiln dried sand
but it is all fudge. l have known pota-
toes kept two years in sand dried in the
sun. / have also known them kept well
in Buckwheat chaff. In order to keep
potatoes with success, there must be a
thermometer kept in the room. The mer-
curry must not sink below 400 if it does
the potatoes will chill and rot it also
must not raise much above 60 ., or they
viii grow. / never lost any of my pota-
toes only by letting the room get too
