A negro of the name of Crowder
has been having fun with some of
the people and newspapers of Chi
cago, and indirectly with some
newspapers or other cities also.
He arrived in Chicago several days
ago in box car, and told a pitiful
tale Of how he had ran away from
his master in Mississippi, and of
the hardships he had endured try
ing to get away to a free state.
Slavery still existed in Mississippi,
he said, and there were still many
slaves in the neighborhood Of
Grenada. He showed scars which
he said had resulted from floggings
given him by the man to whom
he supposed he belonged. In
Mississippi, according to Crowder,
there are many persons who never
heard of the emancipation procla-
nation. And the simple Chica-
goans swallowed the story at one
gulp, and telegraphed it to the
Philadelphia Press and other
northern papers, and they printed
1T under sensational headlines. Is
1T amy wonder that 500 per cent.
syndlcates are able to flourish and
that gold brick men grow rich in
the north ?-Savannah News.

Mr.. Chester Henderson and wife
were the recipients Of a surprise party
on the evening of Wednesday last.
They had evidently been drilled in the
German tactics, and stormed their castle
about O'Clock at night. This is the
time that the Henderson family usually
goes to their bed of repOse, and pull the
bed clothes clean up over their nose.
But their plans were frustrated this
time, and they were soon given to un.
derstand that there was "the devil TO
pay, and no pich hot" But the genial
host and hostess were not without 70
sources, and they soon managed to
throw tub to the whole by introducing
divers and sundry games, which kept
the attacking force amused and paciti'
ed until late hour. An excellent re-
past was served unit! all were too full
for utterance. But they voted that they
had had a good time and retired in good
order. Here is list Of the storming
party, and in the grand aggregate it
looks formidable enough coming At that
