'"rhe Underground Railroad" is the title
of a work by William Still, depicting life
among the colOred people in the days of
slavery. 1t contains variations and incl
dents which are truly romantic. The hair
breadth escapes Of the poor slave in quest
of liberty, the flight, the pursuit, the
refuge, and the tribute to the true friends
of the poor black, who had worn the gall
ing yoke of slavery, are beautifully written
by Mr.. Still, and to make the book IN
usually interesting, the incidents are true.

The attitude Of the New York World
and the Chicago Times against the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Greeley by the Democratic
party must not be counted Of any particu-
lar consequence, since they defend their
opposition with so much violence. If
they were surer Of their point, they would
be more moderate in their attempts to
carry it. The Democrats will remember
that the World injured Mr.. Seymour in
1868 by demanding his withdrawal about
three weeks before the election, and they
will also remember that Mr.. Greeley has
never been popular with the Tammany
ring, of which the World was the organ.
AS to the Chicago Times, that paper is
constitutionally opposed to whatever the
Tribune supports, and Of late years the
Tribune has had the good fortune to be on
the best side Of almost every question.
The real strength of Western Democratic
sentiment is to be discovered in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the st. Louis Republican
and the Louisville Courier-JourqaL These
three representative journals are very firm
in their support Of Greeley and Brown.

Interesting Relic.

From the Sumter Watchman, May IL
Our much esteemed fellow-citizen,
Elisha Carson, has shown us the verita-
BILE sword with which Thaddeus Sobieski
fought at the celebrated battle of War
saw, of 1893. 1t is heavy, straight
steel blade, about three feet in length,
with massive hilt
We learn from Mr.. Carson that a
nephew of Thaddeus Sobieski came to
the United States about the year 1918,
and died in Charleston about the year
1922. Whilst in Charlston he lived a
near neighbor Of Mr.. Carson, and the
two were on intimate terms. From him
Mr.. Carson learned that this sword had
been presented to him by his uncle
Thaddeus, previous to the departure of
the latter for England. Soon after his
death his effects were sold at auction, at
which sale Mr.. Carson purchased the
sword in question. There was some
bidding for it, and the price paid was
considerably above its intrinsic value.
Should this information reach a men,
Der of the Sobieski family, who may
desire possession of this relic of an illus
trious ancestor, the end may be accom-
plished by addressing Elisha Carson,

correspondence OF orTurkish Lovers.

The art Of writing is not generally
known among the Turks, and when a
lover wishes to communicate his senti-
ments in writing, they have mode of
effecting it without pen, ink OR paper, by
means of flowers, fruits. woods, silks,
stulfs and colors Of which they make a
pocket, each article having an allegor-
ical sense. The pocket is called Sc
lam. Those who employ this mode Of
communicating articles to compose a
selam, have dictionary which they
know by memory, of the illusions they
wish to give by their flowers.

at one end of the hall, the girls at the
other end, and sing some verses to an
organ accompaniment. These verses
are dignifed by the name of an Ode" J."
in the account of the proceedings which
is now before us, and verses are respec-
lively addressed to. the Spirit of
Raine, to the children to the president
and trustees to the bride and BRIDE
groom. The ode, being finished, the
bride and bridegroom advance towards
the chairman, who delivers an address
of congratulation and admonition, and
presents tho bride with purse contain
ing one hundred sovereigns as her mar
riage portion. Then follows another
ode, after which the trustees and visitors
rise and drink to the health and happi-
ness of the bride and bridegroom. The
newly married couple and their friends
then retire, and the ceremony is over.
Whether the labors of the London Char
ity Commissioners will sweep away
Raine's charities altogether as far
as regards the giving of marriage por-
tions, and reform them in the matter of
the schools, we know not. The cere-
mony as it stands now is very quaint,
and although the whole is perfectly fa-
mliar to the inhabitants of ST. Georges
East, is certainly not so to others not in
cluded in that favored parish and least
alone to the readers of this paper. To
such persons this brief account of what
may possibly by-and-by be an obsolete
ceremonial is not devoid of interest.

A marriage portion of hundred

persons but a small way of beginning
the world; but to the members of the

fable matrimony. There exists inLondon

the beginning of the last century, called

the presenting of marriage portions of

education in the schools of charity, and
attained the age of twenty-five years,
shall by the masters or mistresses for
whom they have sewed after leaving the
school, be best recommended for their
piety and industry, and continuance in

There was sound of mourning in
Oshkosh. A widow wept for her dear
departed, and provided magnificent
funeral to soothe her grief In the
church, just before the coffin was closed,
last opportunity was given to see the
corpse. As the widow was nerving her
self for the painful joy, she became
aware of procession of women, some
twenty in number, who advanced to the
coffin, and one after another kissed the
corpse. Not one of the intruders was
known to the weeping relict. The sound
of mourning ceased. The congregation
was electrified by the words: Until
within a few moments / had supposed
that the cold form in this coffin was
once my husband; but the kisses and
the tears of the, to me, strangers who
have just paraded before the audience,
have convinced me that he belonged to
others a good deal more than he did 10
