named Thompson at Sixth and NJ streets
was broken in by burglars, and lot of

siderable cutlery about his person. The
police of this city were informed of the
fact, and Thompson went down to see if
he could identify any of the property as
belonging to him. He was shown the ar
ticles taken from the arrested man, and
immediately recognized them as being his
own.

ELE4 NED IRON THE MAILS.

A curious occurrence has occurred in Phil
adelphia which is instructive to those who
think the race prejudice is confined to the
South OF to people who have known what
slavery is. Annie PiXley pretty young Wo-
man Joined the largest Presbyterian church
in that city, became an active member, had
class in the Sunday School, and was favor
lite with the women workers in the church.
A year ago it was discovered from her ances-
try, not from any trace shown, that she had a
slight trace of Negro blood in her veins. She
was at once dropped. Her Sunday School
scholars left her, at church entertainments
she was as much avoided as q leper, her
friends abandoned her, and finally she was
gradually forced out of both church and
school She died there last week, her death
having been fastened by her mental suffer
ings.
Twenty years ago President Julius A. Dire
her of Roanoke College won the gold medal
there, as student, for excellence in oratory
He has not thought of the medal for years,
but supposed it was in his trunk. Last week
he cot a letter from Montana from jeWeler tC
whom a soldier had offered medal for sale
The description answered his medal though
there was no name Oh it, and he wrote for the
medal 1t proved to be his. He has no idea
of when he lost it.

1t is worth While to consider the man and
