Long Years of Yearning Satisfied.

Long, long ago-not precisely "ere heaving
bellows learned to blow, and organs yet were
mute''-but really good many years since,
when the voice of the banjo was young in the
land, and Mr.. Pell, the ''Original Bones,'' was
only just beginning to instruct the small boys
of England in the art of making a novel and
diabolical street noise-in the days when we
first eagerly listened to the lyrics which told
of the joys and sorrows of Lucy Neale; of the
delights of going "ober de mountain" of the
CHEEKY life of the boatman "sailin' down de
ribber on de Ohio" which pathetically de-
plored the decrepitude of "Uncle Ned and
so piously expressed the aspiration that she
was gone where de good niggers co." which
ecstatically proclaimed the elimination of ''a
gittin up stairs and playin' on de fiddle;"
which passionately implored the Buffalo gals to
come out and "dance by de light OBJ de moon, -
while they sternly warned the too impetuous
''Mr. Coon that he was all too soon, seeing
that "de gals dey won't be ready till tomorrow
afternoon" and which finally, cautiously in
quiring who's dat knockin' at de door?' de-
risively added that there was no entrance for
him who knocked, seeing that his hair did not
curl In those far-off days of genuine Eth
opian serenading I remember to have heard a
simple strophe reciting how
'Away down south
A niger in the water
Was standin' in mill pond
Longer than he oughter.''
Full five and thirty years had been waiting
to see that niger standing in that mill-pond;
saw him in all his glory at Guinneys, in the
State of Virginia, the day before Yesterday

TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. THE first hearing of

Life insurance case came up before justice in
the shape of suit to get possession OF certain
nroperty The insurance company obtained a
decree last June in the United States court
under which the property, was sold and bid in
by the company, but the defendant declined to
give possession. The defence was that the

ing money on real estate, and that while the
decree of sale might have been properly OBJ
tanned the company had no right to bid on the
nroperty. The justice held that in cases of
this kind it was competent for the court to in
ouire into or decide as to the title of the prop
erty. A verdict was given for the plaintiff.
Exceptions were taken by the defendant, and
it is proposed to take the case to higher courts
tention. as large amounts loaned by this and
other Eastern insurance companies in this
State are involved.

The Original of a Character of Mrs

In view of the late success of Uncle Toms

burg (Pa.) Leader recollection revived IN
conversation with Mr. C. r. Armstrong, while
he and leading representative were nearing
Steubenville in the comfortably coaches Oh the
Panhandle, the other day, will bear rewriting
The conversation ran upon the amusement
season, and touching the revival Mr.. Arm
strong remarked: Did you know that man
who was supposed to have been the original OF
the character of George Harris in Mrs Stoves
novel lived in Pittsburg for long time? Well,
there was. His case was written up at the
time. Dr. J. H. White, of Federal street, AL
legheny, knew him well, and can tell you all
about him."

1855 man who had become pretty well known
to some of us was taken back to Georgia as
slave. His case attracted no little attention at
that time. Those who knew him were very much
surprised when the thing came out, for it
was never supposed he was other than white
man. came to know him through the associ-

William Gosing Mr.. Gosing became acquainted
with the man, who gave the name OF George

He was man of about twenty-eight years OF
age, five feet inches in height, smooth faced
and as clear complexion as nineteenth of the

bly, little wavy, but not more SO than that OF
many Caucasians We never had the slightest
suspicion that he had negro blood in his veins
but after the discovery was made we could
recollect slight accent of the negro dialect
noticeable when he sang, and that he had the
negro mannerisms in holding the banjo. Al
the time, however, we thought this was
acquired with the art of banjo-playing. He
was brick layer by trade and
became well known among that class. He
He married white lady in Lawrenceville and
I believe had two children by her. The in
telligence reached his former owner that he
was in this city, and several men came here
with view of recovering him. The fugitive

place in Virginia. He took the job innocently
and in good faith, went to Virginia. and there
his followers swooped down on him and tool
him back to Georgia"

sensation, and did no good for those who had {
hand in it. 1t was asserted ON good authority
that Ferris was the man from whom Mrs
Stowe had drawn the story George Harris
The incidents of his escape from the South
were said to be identical with those of thu
story in many respects. The chief difference
lay in the fact that Ferris came alone, being
unmarried, while Harris is represented al
bringing family. After his return to Geor
