of old Polonius:
To thine own self be true,

An Escaped Negro Convict Betrayed
and Sent hack to Gc1rgin.

An Escaped Negro Convict Betrayed
and scpt back to &c orgin.
On May Is, 1873, Monroe Marshall,
a colored convict, made daring escape
from the Fulton county chain gang
says the Atlanta Constitution. Yester
day morning. after twenty-one years
Of uninterrupted freedom, he was cap
tured and carried back to the convict
camp in shackles. Twenty one years
ago, when he na,ic his escape, he was
young, strong and robust-strtng
enough to overpnwer two guards and
many miles. He was carried back old
and decrepid-almost too weak to stand
up under the weight Of his shackles.
In 1873 Marshall was given sentence
in the county chain gang, convicted
upon the charge of assault and battery.
He had provoked fight with another
negro and was arrested and sentenced.
He remained three months in the cl sin
gang, when, on account of good cen
duct, the foreman made him trusty
One morning, while the rest of the
convicts We're at breakfast, Marshall
made a wild break for liberty. Two
guards seized him, but he pushed them
easily aside and made for the woods.
Several shots We're vainly fired at the
fleeing man. Then the dogs We're PUT
on his track and gave him good race.
But the negro reached the river in good
time to swim across and escape. The
chase was given up and the guards re-
turned to camp. Years passed., other
convicts came and went. Marshall was
lost sight of and his escape had passed
from memory.
On Saturday a negro visited the con-
vict camps and volunteered the infor-
nation that he knew the whereabouts
OF an escape. He was questioned
closely concerning the man whom he
said had escaped and as to how he
learned the fact. He said that the man
was named Monroe Marshall and lived
on Decatur street. Some time before
he had told several other negroes how
he escaped fro nj the chain gang twenty
one years ago. His sense of sec lrity
caused him to tell all about his flight.
The negro making the report said that
he was one of the me- Who heard
Marshall's tale. None of the officers
ut the camp knew Of the escape and
were not inclined to believe the fellow.
But the books for the year 1873 were
examined and the name Monroe Mar
shall was recorded there as having
escaped and never recaptured. Yes
terday morning one of the gang guards
came into Atlanta. Marshall was point
ed out to him and the arrest was made.
At first the man denied that he was
ever in the chain gang, and insisted
that he had always lived in Fulton
~ ~
and the ex-convict acknowledged that
many years ago he had escaped. Then
he gave full account of his struggle
with the guards and his run from the
dogs He left Georgia the year of his
escape and made his way to Texas,
where he remained for ten years, COM
ing back to Atlanta after that time.
The negro who reported him, he says,
did it to satisfy an old grudge. Mar
shall was carried out yesterday and
once more put in stripes.

the development of the natural re-
sources Of their country, that for a
considerable time there was grave
doubt in the minds of the merchants
whether the business would pay. AS,
however, the Coreans. little by little,
ascertainc1 what foreigners wanted to
buy and the prices they were willing to
pay. the native cupidity of the oriental
mind was excited and overcame the
repugnance to foreigners, and now the
peninsula has more than once been
crossed by Europeans in search Of bust
ness or pleasure.
From all accounts. the Coreans are a
curious people, having many Of the
peculiarities of both Chinese and Japan
csc. Evidently of Monaghan origin,
they nevertheless differ from the Chi
nese in so many respects that they can
hardly be called Chinese, while the
Japanese utterly disclaim all family re-
lationship to them, regarding them as

There is paper for instance. The
Coreans possess some secrets with re-
gard to paper-making that are unknown
even to their ingenious neighbors, the
Chinese. They make paper of such tough
ness that it will resist many months
of wear, and by process of oiling 1t
they ,nder it impervious to water, and
so make ovcrcoats that will stand any
amount Of rain. True, they cannot be
mended, for when they begin to go
they go all over and all at once. but as
they only cost about quarter they are
easily replaced-if the Corean happens
to have the quarter.
His other clothes are mostly Of cot
ton, and the chief popularity about
them is the fact that they are always
being washed.
In Corean cities certain hours after
dark are set apart for the women to
take their exercise. and during that
time all men are forbidden to appear
on the street under penalty of arrest
This police regulation is very strictly
obeyed, too, for in Corea there is no

If the women Of America will take
up this work of education the lesson.
Will be surely and profitably learned,
and we will not mach longer be asham-

with those of other countries. And
