The Old Man DieP Amid the scenes OF
His slavery Days.
That real life contains more genu-
inc romance and tragedy than all the
works of fiction is proved every day
and never more so than by pathetic
incident that occurred in Charleston,
;. c.. on Christmas. says the Phila-
delphia Times. An old negro was
found within mile or two of town,
presumably drunk. and was brought
in nv an officer. when it was dis
covered that he was in a dying con-
dition and on being carried to the
city hospital revived sufficiently to
tell the following pathetic story,
which was afterward proved to DO
strictly true:
The old fellow. who was seventy
six years old, had belonged in ante
bellum days to one of the largest
plantations of the state at the time.
Colonel Roper in 1860 refugeed to
Texas. carrying with him the larger
part ofNhis negroes. among them his
Uncle Jack" OF course. the war
freed him with the others. but power
ty and other causes kept Uncle
Jack away from his old home and a
brother who had been left behind. but
every year increased his longing to
20 back and see them. and this ycarn-
ing grew greater as Christmas APP
preached.
AT last, having buried all his own
children and his ..w'ite folks in
Texas, he resolved about four months
ago to carry ont his long cherished
plan, and with his little savings set
out. lie came as far as New Orleans
by train. where he was robbed OF his
money, bat being assisted by kind
hearted strangers he succeeded in
reaching Chattanooga Tenn. From
that point he walked the rest of the
way with help from his own color
and white people by food and an oc-
casionai lift in wagon or u few
miles on the railroad
As he nearcd the city his strength
gave out. but he managed 10 Green

and who fell into each ot'It.s arms
