The story OF William and Ellen Crafts
once slaves in Georgia, is probably near
IL forgotten by our readers. They were
husband and wife. She was OF fair COM
plexion. She assumed the character of
young Georgia planter, dressed il
mans clothes, and William Crafts per-
sonated the slave. In this disguise they
arrived at Boston abC;:t tWeDty-six years
since. TGey We're two years IN Boston,
hut the slave hunters were so active that
they were obliged to leave that city.
They hed to England. Here Lady Byron
and Dr.. Lusliinston interested tnelnsel-
YES il their education. After about six
years residence i'll England William
Craft. was sent by an association of
pLilanthrOpic gentlemen. with the sane

Here a building was hired, with plan

REUBARB is among the earliest green
things: and though no one classes it
amongst the choicest of horticultural
gifts in the abstract, yet on account
Of its early growth it will always
be esteemed. Its earliness being enc
OF its valuable points. place should be
selected for It where it will get all the ad-
vantages Of early spring suns. Some
people help it by putting barrels over
the roots. This keeps out the cold;
and, IS TIE rhubarb Is stimulated TO grow
by very little heat, the natural warmth
of the ground brings i, up if the frost be
kept ont. Then the barrels help to
blancl it little, and it is not quite SO
sour as when left to grow naturally in its
own way. Rhubarb is poor stuff when
stringE, and it is the aim of good grow
srs TO have it as PUPPY as possible.
Therefore the soil is to be made very rich
indeed-as good as manure can make it,
When grown in this way, even the out
side is tender, and it may be cut up for
use without even peeliDg, as is SO often
done. Some varieties are, however,
more tender than others.

abou. nine months. was the son Of James
Funston, City Clerk Of this city, and
was we'll known former resident of
Nevada county, California. For some
time past he had suffered severely from
acute rheumatism, and it is supposed
that the pain he endured was the incit-
ing cause of his taking his life. He
never gave the least intimation of his
intention or left word or sign to tell
his reasons for the fearful act. He was
a G.Iiet, unassuming man, Of more than
ordinary intelligence, but, of late years,
had been in Strengthened circumstances,
which fact is supposed TO have preyed
upon his mind. He was native of
Ireland and was for some time engaged
in business in the Illinois lead region,
from whence he emf grated to California,
and at one time served as Justice Of the
Peace il Nevada county, in that State

CLEVER JUGGLERY IN SACRA-

ordinary attiIe, presents for exa!nina-
ton strong wooden box, three fee. on
all sides. It is bound with iron inside
and out, crossing every crack and joint,
and every facility is given for any per-
son to test it. The lid is held by two
heavy iron hinges and hasp and
staple, with a paddock. Mr.. man with
the audience all about him, gets into the
box, lets one Of the bystanders lock it
and pocket the key. A calico canopy is
swung over the bo1. and in twenty-five
seconds the chap lifts the calico and
walks out, and the lid is found still
locked down. We thought we could
catch him, and arranged a guard around
the whole institution twice, but each
time the fellow came out and the box re-
mained locked Caswell, the bill poster,
brought French lock. the only one Of
the kind in the State, and secured the
lid with it. but the wizard came out as
before. 1t is more astonishing than the
cabinet trick, and more skillfully done,

and with no confederate aid. The show
is very unpretsnding, and of The mounte-

one to find out how he gets out of the

General Jackson-s Neeper.

In our remarks day or two ago upon
tie forthcoming history OF the United
States by Mr.. Bryant we spoke Of the
material in the way Of incident and pic
ture which the subject would afford.
Reading the other day of Jackson 5 visit
to New York about the time Of his first
inauguration, and just after his w;fe's
death, we were greatly struck with the
pictorial qualities of the story. He rode
the length of Broadway on horseback,
with long weeper, at that time in fash
ion in Tennessee, tied around his white
hat and hanging the length of his back.
We have here just one of those pictures
SO very vivid and important, Of which
American history is full. There is a
chapter Of history contained in the
photograph. That he should have rid
den on horseback instead of in a car
riace indicates a popularity of the time.
The long wespsr tied around the white
hat-a thing familiar enough in Tenn
sssee, and yet strange in New 1ork-re-
calls the fact that the various parts Of
the country were not then SO homogene-
Gus Is they are at present. Jackson S
truculent and defiant grief, even had lie
been conscious that his wesper was too
long for the fashion in these parts, would
have indicated itself anywhere and be-
fore anybody. The weeper recalls the
incidents of his wlfe's early life and his
affection for her, both Of which e1erted
a profound influence upon his life. 1t
recalls the duel with Dickinson, an en-
counter which, it seems to US, is one of
the most terrible on record.-N. I. Post.
