SANDERsoN. Fla, where a fresh
negro outbreak occurred last Sunday,
is on the Florida Central railroad, about
thirty-five miles west Of Jacksonville,
being the seat Of Baker county, which
adioins the Georgia line. The popula-
ton Of the town IS about 200. The
population Of tue entire county is given
by the census of 1870 at 1885 whites
to $50 negroes. Nothing but the pres
ence Of desperately wicked advisers
can explain why the negroes should
resort to force against such odds. The
whites have every motive for preserving
the peace, but "outrages" are badly
wanted for Radical consumption In

the ground floor. Without hesitation
he leaped from the bed, and opening the
window, sprang out of it in his night
dress and gave chase. The frightened
thief dropped the clothes, and thought
only of escaping. But Beecher's blood
was ND, and he held on in the chase tils
he grabbed the thief by the collar.
When the latter attempted to strike, he
knocked him down and choked him till
he begged for mercy. The thief then
tried to get knife out of his pocket, but
Beecher took it away, and marched him
back to college in triumph, and made
him quiet on the floor till morning.
Then he took him before Justice, told
the story with an honest pride at his own
prowess, and waited to see the law do
its duty. To his unspeallable disgust
the Justice released the culprit because,
in the chase, Beecher had lost sight of
him once round corner. Beecher was
disguised, and inclined to speak sar-
castically of the technicalities OF law after
that experience.

Reporting a Quaker Meeting.

he first came to Philadelphia and began

and perhaps he had better go up anG
make full report of the proceedings
Henry Bloodgood was not ut all familiar
with the method of worship indulged liz
by Friends ; so he got three or foul-
quires of paper, and six lead pencils
sharpened at both ends, and he went up
to that meeting house, innocent as a
lamb, and spread his paper out over his
hat, and seized a lead pencil, and sat
there in guileless simplicity waiting for
the proceedings to proceed. 1t was 8.
silent meeting that day, and Henry
Bloodgood remained upon that bench for
two long hours, getting more and more
nervous every minute, and at last madder
and madder At the end of the second
hour Mr.. Bloodgood considered that he,
could stand it no longer so he arose ex-
citedly and went over to an aged Friend
who sat on bench with an exaggerated
hat. The exasperated reporter seized
him by the arm and exclaimed:
"See here, old man, when is this
blamed thing going to commence
Two energetic Friends arose and gently
led Henry to the portal, and he went
home in sadness. His soul fills with
gloom now whenever the Society OF
Friends is mentioned. MAJ Adeler in
