A Runaway Master.

The Southern BiU0uac tells the follow ing story:
 "A well-to-do farmer in Tennessee owned large number of slaves, and among them one old darkey about his own age, and whom he had known all his life. Old Sam was faithful crea- ture, great favorite with his master, and sort of privileged character on the plantation. The old fellow was in dustrious and exemplary in his behavior all the year round, except during that period dating from the time when roast ing ears began to ripen and the earliest appearance of frost. Sam was invari- ably seized at that period with an in vincible desire to run away Of course, in such case, the usual punishment in flicted on runaway niggers' was not to be thought of. Remonstrance was un- availing. Sam declared that he jes' couldn't hep hissef, and it became q settled and understood arrangement that he should go, and that the neigh borhood should condone his raids on corn-fields and potato patches. After many such escapades, his old master | asked him on one occasion, when the matter was under discussion
 |" Sam, do you really enjoy running away?'
 "Deed, Marse John,' said Sam, I does. Hits de moas' fun in de wurl'. Coon huntin ain't nowhar to hit
 "'Well, then, said Marse John, Just let me know the next time you take a notion to start, and I'll go with you, and try it awhile myself.
 "Sure enough, in due season, Sam came up, saying:
 "'Old Marse, de times mighty nigh when I 'bleeged to lite out. Elf you gwine wid me, you better be gittin' reddy, for when de time comes l got to go quick
 "'Old Marse' kept bright lookout, and when Sam started he was on hand.
 ''They had delightful time. They fshed occasionally, caught possums, robbed orchards and watermelon and potato patches, picked blackberries for recreation, and haunted the greenest and shadiest hooks of the forest, all of which Sam knew well. old Marse' had never enjoyed a summer so much. In fact. he was so much pleased that Tegu- larly afterward he accompanied Sam when the latter went into annual retreat. At length Sam died. The old master grieved for him sincerely. He was sad also over the reflection that his summer pastime would in future be denied him. But, to the amaZement of all his friends, and not less his own, when roasting cal time came again, the fit seized him as strong as ever, and he ran away by him self"

HattOn's Joke on Blaine.

The Chicago Herald says: 'Let me tell you little story about Blaine and Frank Hatton," said passenger from Burlington. "A few years ago Blaine was out in Iowa making speeches, and Hatton was then Chairman of our State Committee, and of course went along with as big man as Blaine to the various meetings. They were on the cars ono day going to a country town to speak at a meeting when Blaine turned to HattOn and said:
 At this town we're going to I be- lieve there's man named Chris Schlagle, isn't there2"
 " Yes, replied Hatton, and I know him by sight"
 eff you see him tn the grounds, said Blaine, point him out to me. I used to know him down in Washington coun ty, Pennsylvania
 "After Blaine and Hatton had got upon the stand, and while some local orator was speaking, Hatton spoke to Blaine and told him where Schlaglc was standing. Blaine got up and marched straight for the man pointed out to him.
 How are you, Chris2" he exclaimed. holding out his hand. I remember you well. You have changed very little since l knew you down in Washington county. I never forget a face. How is Mrs. Schlaglep
 "'B-but my name ain't Schlagle, re- piled the astonished farmer. My name is Scheimerhorn, and I was never in Pennsylvania in my life.'
 ''Blaine walked back to the platform quite discomftted. Hatton said he had made mistake, but Blaine looked al him in a queer sort of way, as if tc say, +pll get even with you yet

REVENGE OF THE BANDITS.
A Mexican Tortured to Death for Defend-
 ing His Wife.

C1TY OF MEXICO, Nov. 2.-Juan Vicente Pa lavicini was recently travelling in Tabasco with his wife and child to his hacienda. On the way 8 bandit named Manuel Padron came out on horseback and tried to carry off the wife Of Palavicini. A fight took place between the two men, and Padron was killed. After Palavicini had left his family at the hacienda he returned toward the town of Teapa to advise the au- thorities of what he had done. On his return he. was captured by 8 brother of the dead bandit, assisted by three desperadoes.
 They took Palavicini off his horse, stripped of his stockings, and made him walk in his bare feet nearly mile. They then cut of his ears and gashed his wrists, and in this condition compelled him to walk some more. They then put out his eyes and lashed him to make him run. Finally they dragged him at the head of their saddles, and then tore him in two. The perpetrators of the outrage es- caped, but if they are caught it is likely that they will be treated in the same manner.

By the President of the United States of
 America Proclamation
 The American people have always abundant cause to be thankful to Almighty God, whose watchful care and guiding hand have bsen manifested ill every stage of their national life, guarding and protecting them ill time of peril, and safely leading them in the hour of darkness and of danger It is fitting and proper that nation thus favored should on one day in every year, for that purpose espe- cially appointed, publicly acknowledge the goodness of God, and return thanks to Him for all His gracious gifts.
 Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the twenty sixth day of November instant, as day of public thanksgiving and prayer, and do in- yoke the observance of the same by all the people of the land.
 On that day let all secular business be sus- pended, and let the people assemble in their songs of praise, devoutly testify their grati- tude to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, for all that He has done for us in the year that has passed; for our preservation as united nation and for our deliverance from the shock and danger of political convulsion; for the blessings of peace and for our safety and quiet while wars and rumors of wars have agitated and afflicted other nations of the earth for our security against the scourge of pestilence, which in other lands naS Clalmeu ltS deaQ Dy thOuSands and nlled the streets with mourners; for plenteous crops which reward the labor of the husband men and increase our nations wealth; and for the contentment throughout our borders which follows in the train of prosperity and abund- ance.
 And let there be also on the day thus set apart reunion of families sanctifed and chastened by tender memories and associa- tons, and let the social intercourse of friends, with pleasant reminiscence, renew the ties of affection and strengthen the bonds of kindly feeling.
 And let us by no means forget while we give thanks and enjoy the comforts which have crowned our lives, that truly grateful hearts are inclined to deeds of charity, and that a kind and thoughtful remembrance of the poor will double the pleasures of our condition and render our praise and thanks giving more &C., ceptable in the sight of the Lord.

ReIfc-Hunters nt Washington,

Oh, those relic-hunters
 They seized on everything that they could pull apart. At General Grants first inauguration, the President had scarcely retired from the grand stand, when a crowd of citizens clambered up the sides from the ground below, and, within minute, the chair which the Chief Magistrate had occupied was split into score of fragments one man capturing leg of it, another an arm, another part of rung, and all marching away with them as tro- phies of the event After the funer- al ceremonies over Senator Sumner, the relic-hunters sought to obtain pieces of the mourning emblems around his vacant chair. The crape was cut into bits by score of knives. Indeed, the jack-knives even attacked the mahogany of the desk itself, and a policeman had to be stationed at the chair
 The relic-hunters go to Mount Yer non to visit the tomb of Washington, and break the mortar and rocks from the walls of the old vault, cut twigs from the shubbery and trees, and car " away any little thing that will serve as memento of the place l-St. NichoZns

Children Hired Out at Auction.

They do queer things in Switzerland, considering that the Swiss eulogize their country as "the land of liberty" The children of poor people are regularly hired out by auction in most of the can tons. There was most painful scene recently in the market place of Biel, a town near Berne, where, in spite of the heartrending entreaties of 8 widowed mother, her four young children, rang ing from two to ten, were ''placed" out for year to the highest bidder by the public crier; the family being thus broken up and separated for fear lest the woman should be compelled to seek for assistance from the town. I should doubt whether there is any other coun- try in Europe where such an infamous system exists at the present time.--Lon- don Truth.

The Andre Monument Blown Up.

The Andre monument at Tappan, N. Y, was blown up by the explosion of d. namite cart ridge at 10:20 at night. Both bases were inclosed the monument was completely demol- ished. The shock was so great that it broke the glass in houses mile away. In a hotel one-haR mile distant it broke the globes on the lamps, and the West Shore Railroad depot was jared and several panes of glass were broken.
 On February 22, 1882. the monument was hacked and mutllated by George Hendrix, who died two years ago. On April of the same year an attempt was made to destroy it with nitro-glycerine. Hendrix was then ar rested and, although it was proven that he had mutilated the shaft, he received no punish ment other than being held under bonds for trial
 Mir. Cyrus W. Field, who erected the monu- ment to Andre, had it repaired very lately, and 1t was less than month ago the public was made aware by the press that the monument T. l. Secp Y :tCre9
