THE LAST SLAVE SALE.

Il remember very well the sale OF
the last negro in this county at auc
tion,' said John Reynolds, an old resi-
dent of Ohio county, West Virginia.
There was a public sale of the effects
of an estate of a man named Higgs,
near Wheeling, and among the effects
was a good field hand a powerful,
well-built negro man. Thomas Nc
Conn, Esq, one of the oldest citizens
and magistrates in the State, was the
auctiOneer The attendance was large,
and the sale of negroes was rather a
novelty Some of the wealthiest and
most influential farmers Of the county.
as well as merchants and business
llen of Wheeling, were there. The
negro was started at $500 and went
down to John Goshorn, a merchant of
Wheeling, and a large land holder in
the county. The negro was we'll
known, and as he was taken along the
National road toward Wheeling, hun
dreds came out to see him and bid
him good-by. [ had not seen such a
sight since the day that old Hickory
jackson made his last journey from
Washington to take the boat home to
Tennessee. The negro was set to
work on farm near Wheeling, but
lived only few months. There was
never another negro sold in the coun-
ty. for within a short time the war
broke out and nearly all of the slave
holders hustled across the line in
order to get out of the Union Mrs.
Lydia Cruger was the last of the
shareholders. She kept dozen or
fifteen till the proclamation of Presi
dent Lincoln liberated them. Mrs.
Cruger's farm lies four miles east of
Wheeling, on the National road, and
is at present owned and cultivated by
Maj. Loring. She died along in the
last of the sixties at the age Of 102
years. Her first husband, Col Shep
pard, ard her last husband, Col. Moses
Cruger, were both gentlemen of ma
tional fame The mansion of Mrs.
Cruger was the stopping place of
Henry Clay, James X. Polk, Andrew
jackson, John G. Calhoun, and scores
of others of national prominence from
1920 to 1860. Henry Clay was wont
to send his colored body servant one
day ahead of him to call on Mrs.
Cruger to notify her of his approach
and ask the courtesy of hospitality for
one night. The occasion of Mr.. Clay's
visit was always signalized by a re-
ception to the aristocracy of the coun-
ty, and not few of the older resi-
dents of Wheeling recall with feelings
OF pleasure the Clay visits to the
Cruger mansion. So great was Mrs.
Cruger's admiration of the Kentucky
statesman that she had a monument
erected in the most prominent corner
of her grounds. This corner happen
ed to front on the National road.
Clay's own most imperishable monu-
ment, and it is pointed out to-day as
the most enduring relic of the lady's
regard for the great Wing apostle.

THREE OF HIS LIVES GONE.
4 Cat Which Has So Far Deflsd All At
tempts to Assassinate Him.

When he wandered into our board
ing-house on Lackawanna avenue, he
was nice little tomcat with eyes as
innocent as child's, says writer in
the Scranton Truth. He used to stand
on his hind legs and cry for milk, and
as long as he conducted himself he was
| treated well. He. however. became
thievish and insufferably lazy. He
used to purloin the choices: beef
! steaks, take them down to the cellar
and dsvour them, He used also to
| get in the way of the girls who were
| generally in hurry at meal time and
the help became thoroughly sick and
tired of him. One day the dishwater
flung him out of the four-story back
window. He didn't seem to mind it
in the least, though. He alighted on
his paws, and looking up at the girl
he winked his right eye, rs much as to
say, "No, you don't" and then walked
leisurely round to the front of the
house and came into the kitchen again
in all his philosophic calm and just as
though nothing unusual at all had
happened.
The next day Thomas was tied up in
wilds near Taylor, but, 10 and behold,
he returned about three weeks after
ward at 3 o'clock in the morning to
his old home and woke up the whole
block with his piteous appeals for foos
and shelter. He was given both. 1t
was thought that he might possibly
reform, but he didn't. He became
still more thievish and lazy. Then it
was determined that he should die by
poison: A nice juicy piece of beef was
sprinkled with strychnine and he was
locked up in closet with it for four
days. Everybody thought he would
be dead sure when the closet was
opened, but he wasn't. He just SIM
ply purrcd and clawed tho floor for
JOY when he was released. He had
sense enough not to touch the poi
soned meat at all. Finally he was
locked down in the bottom cellar. the
third from the surface of the street,
and when seen few days ago he was
as fat and sleeky and comfortable a3
any cat i'll the city OF Scranton. He is
living on rats and the diet seems to
agree with him. And yet people say
that it is fooliShness to assert that
cat has nine lives.

General Directions For Dire ss Fit
ting.

With the basque now on, and but
| toned or hooked in front, you Will be
able TO discover the defects in fit
which may occur. If it be too large,
take up the required amount on the
seams under the arms and on the
shoulders. If it is too loose just in the
small OF the back Ga very common
faulty, remedy this by taking it up on
the side-back (not the curUed) seams at
and below the waist line. See that the
neck is the proper height, being care
full not to cut it too low just in front,
rs in cutting it out in the other parts
it generally adjusts itself to the proper
height in front. Then, too, as the
seams on the shoulders have not vet
been stitched, the edges may become
stretched. After they (the shoulder
seams) have been found to be adjust
ed, stitch them upon the machine.
Notice the arm-holes; they should be
high up under the arm at the back
and snug fitting to avoid wrinkles, but
Immediately under and towards the
front, they must be cut out sufficient
ly to prevent any drawing when the
arm is brought forward On top of
the shoulder the armholes should be
cut out as high as the pointed bone
which may be felt on tho shoulder
above the highest part of the arm.
Curve the arm-size evenly between
these places and be particular not to
get it stretched or strained in any
way.
There is no greater mistake than fit
ting waist on one side, and attempt
ing to make the other side by it. and
no skillful dressmaker will try 1t. If
you have drafted pattern cut to your
measure the thing is not only possible,
but desirable; otherwise, as | have al
ready said, do not attempt it. Having
made the desired alterations, stitch up
the seams on the machine, except the
shoulder seams. Take out the bast-
ings ir the seams sewed, cash them
with scissors at the waist line in
three places to prevent drawing. The
second or bias dart will not require
this however, as being bias, it accom-
modates itself TO the form without
gashing. Now press the seams, which
may be neatly done by the following
simple method: Lay doubled cloth
on the edge Of the lapboard; lay each
seam on this edge and press slowly
with Il moderately warm iron. A COM
mon wooden rolling-pin covered with
several layers of cotton cloth is also a
convenient article for pressing seams
of waists and sleeves. Good House.

Immigration Into Canada.

According to the official statistics,
immigration into Canada Is compara-
lively inconsiderable. In 1882 it grew
suddenly from 5000. the mum Der re-
rel, ed in 1881, to 1I2, 45S; but in 1893
WAS rnlv 50, 000. 1t is an interesting y
fact that more than two-thirds of the
addition to the population of Quebec
from abroad is made by Canadians
who have tried to make their way in
the United States, but, having failed
return 10 their own country. At least
this is the assertion of the official sta
tisticiau in the year book for 1891.
There is no evidence that This is more
than mere opinion. Tie Dominion
statistics on this interesting subject
are confcssedlv unsatisfactory, the
task Of gathering them being rendered
difficult because many of the new set
tiers enter the country from the United
States.
In an evidently partial table in the
year book are some interesting facts
that throw IL strong side light on the
race and immigration problems in the
two old provinces of Upper and Lower
Canada. Out of an immigration of
2),S52 people into Quebec, Is. 409 were
Canadians, and only 1920 were Eng
lish, Irish, Scotch, German. and citi-
zens of the United States. Out of an
immigration of 9,5l6 into Ontario,
3,56i were of the last-nlmed peoples.
There had gone to Ontario nearly two
and a half times rs many Englishmen.
nearly twice rs many lrisiimen. more
than three times as many Scotchmen,
more tnan six times as many Germans,
ami tour times as many Americans rs
had gone to Quebec. At the same
lime three times a many Canadians
hi'l returned 10 Quebec as had gone
back to O.tario. -H;4rB LJ0m:s Ne{-

AHAT STORY.

A Frenchman in Buda Pesth this
week bought a hat of peculiar shape
and color. He strolled about the plat
form of the station a few minutes
waiting for a train, when he was as
tonished to find in one overcoat pocket
a purse full of money and in the other
a gold watch He went to the station
master and found him listening to the
complaints of a man who had just lost
purse. The purse was the one
which the Frenchman was returning,
but when it had been lost it had con
tanned only few francs, and now ii
held a large sum.
The mystery was soon explained
4 policeman came to the station mas
ter to report the arrest of a pick
pocket He was brought in and con
fessed to the theft of the purse, into
into which he hid been put the pro
ceeds Of previous robberies. He had
put the purse and the watch into the
Frenchman's pockets because of his
hat. He explained that hats of that
pattern, which are made by only one
firm, are the badge of large inter
national gang OF pickpockets, and liz
had taken the Frenchman for a con
federate

SHERMAN LOST THE BASKET.

Market on One Occasion.

The Senator Accompanied His Bride to
Market on One Occasion.
Mrs. Sherman invariably goes to
market several times a week, saws
Washington. So do other senator's
wives, and sometimes great states
man goes along just for amusement, or
from a sense of duty. Mrs. Sherman
had watched Senator Henderson, of
Nebraska, escorting his wife through
the market, even occasionally Juggling
the provision basket. Mrs. Sher-
man thought her husband might show
her the same attention, and quoted
Mr.. Henderson to him till in simple
despair Mr.. Sherman consented to be
annexed on market day. He went the
whole rope and even carried the basket
but Mrs. Sherman has never mentioned
market to him since. He lost the
basket and she lost him, for time.
and, when the great fnancier was safe
in his own home, he announced in bio
type that Senator Henderson and ali
the rest of both houses might go to the
market every day of their lives, but as
for him, John Sherman, as long as he
possessed his mental faculties. he
would never be persuaded into GOING
again.
