SHAMROCK TIT. STILL WINS.
kipton's Presence, the Tars Say
 Brings Luck.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J., July 22.-After her narrow margin of victory in the last race, Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger for the nau- tical blue ribbon was again in racing form and trimmed her trial horse by 33 minutes and IT seconds in 8 twenty mile race. Much of her big victory was due to fuke in which she cov- cred miles of water while Shamrock I. hung idle in calm.
 Another thing which the sailors say, brought good luck to the new boat was that Sir Thomas, after watching the races from the Erin for several days, sailed on the challenger. Her crew de- elares that he rarely fails to bring good luck. The victory was decisive on ev- cry point of sailing. Sir Thomas was highly pleased.

went to the barn with the milk
bucket to do his cheers. Just

who was boarding there, while
building a school house in the
vicinity went to the barn to feed
his horse. On returning to the
house Mrs. Knight inquired
whether he had seen her husband
at the barn. On learning he had
not she went to look for him and
found his lifeless body suspended
from a rafter. The unfortunate
man has been in poor health for
the past two years with softening
of the brain, and for some time
he has not been at himself and

evidences were forth coming at
once for ! had been thinking of
an incident that took place when
| was a mere boy, and how |
shall write it up as there was
some poetry connected with it,
written by a slave who was then
trying to escape. And II could
not recollect quite all of the
verses, when 10 and behold there
came into my Office this morning,
very dear friend, whom l never
saw till within the last few years
here in Broken Bow, and who
was raised in Wisconsin. He could
supply the missing verses, be-
cause when he also was a little
boy the same slave had passed
through this state, stopped at
his fathers and left a copy of the
poem. This slave had been
taught to read and write while
in the south while he was in the
hands of kind master, but be-
ing sold he fell in with a hard
task master who required that
he should make bricks without
straw" and so like Moses he fled
for his life and turned aside to
see the strange sight on the
alter Of his own heart when the
flame of life continued to burn
and yet the bush was not con-
sumed. Following the Star of
Bethlehem in his heart and keep
ing the eye steadily on the North

him was born.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
By DR.. c. Pickett.
CHAPTER II.

No better illustration of the
quaker character was ever placed
in print than that given by Mrs.
Stowe in Uncle Toms Cabin
where she refers to Uncle Simeon
Holiday and his wife Aunt
Rachael, who by the way were
no more nor less than Levi Coffin
and his wife Katie, who lived
many years in Newport, Wayne
county, Indiana, II miles from
where l was born and reared.
No wonder that Mrs. Stowe
could so graphically describe that
character for she was a most init
mate friend of the Coffin family
and they to my knowledge were
typical quakers, ever faithful to
the inward light and to the in
justice of Holy Writ "to break
every yoke and let the oppressed
go tree"
And now few more words
about that infamous fugitive
slave law spoken of in the other
communication. Not only was
it penitentary offence to harbor
fugitive but the law made it
obligatory for any citizen of a
free state to arrest any fugitive
and hold him and to notify his
master of his whereabouts and
give him a chance to recover his
property. And still further the
law made it incumbent upon any
citizen of such state when the
master came hunting his slave
no matter what such citizen
might be doing, no matter what
might be his station or occupa-
ton the master could command
him IN the name of the law of
the United States and the law of
his own state to drop every thing
and assist the master in finding
his slave and taking him by force,
if necessary and when the slave
was thus taken the blacksmith
near at hand was forced by the
law to iron the slave while his
arrogant master stood over him
debating how it should be done.
Here let me give an instance
of two men who defied the law
and inverted the order of things
for the time being at least.
There were two brothers, one a
blacksmith and the other a farm
er whose farm adjoined close uI
to his brothers shop. Their
names were Powell and they
were brawney fellows, who had
been brought up under the peace
principles of the Society OF
Friends but who had like Phin.
Gus Fletcher depressed unite
from those rules.
Well one day while the smith
was busy sharpening his brothers
pillow and he standing by, there
came big brawny slave holder
on horse back with a slave mar
tied to the saddle by rope long
enough for the slave to walk o.
run as it suited his master, jus
behind the horses heels but ia
enough behind as to be in NJ
