He was a fine, black eyed, white haired, red cheeked old gentleman, courteous in the extreme, and alwajs amiable; but when we said to him, "Won't you join us and take a character?" he frowned down on us from his six foot of hight and said without any attempt at civility whatever: "No, 1 won't I'll hare nothing to do with a masquerade, and marched away. In a few moments, however, he repented him, and marched back. 'Iir tell you why," he said, "if you care to listen. 1 was born m Georgia, jou know, and there I lived while I was young. We were a very sociable set of people and enjoyed our selves in every way. One winter we took to having masquerades, and I made a great success In my characters. Other people were found out, but never I. I had a fresh disguise and a good one every time. I took pains about it and altered my voice and my walk, as an actor should to suit the role. In no case has anyone found out who I was until I unmasked. And now the last masquerade of the season was to be given by Mr. and Mrs. Peyton under Uieir auspices, rather, for it was really Miss Sally Peyton's party. "I was anxious, of course, not to lose my reputation as an actor, and I racked my brains to think of a new character. At last I deter mined to go a; a negro, and having seen a comical rascal on the road, I made myself up 1 niuca ne mm as possiDie, in a gietu tunc jacket and white apron, with a bit; standing col Jar of striped pink and white, and a woolly wig of immense proportions. Instead of wearing a mask, I.blackened my face with a preparation which was an excellent imitation of the genuine black skin, and wore a comical rousttche and aide whiskers, which I gummed on. My sisters were going to the party, but I would not ride with them, for I believed that a secret was never safe after it was divided, and I dressed after the others had gone, and rode over to the Peyton's on horseback. "It was a long way and the night was cold, and though I had my cloak about me, I cer tainly would have been more comfortable in the close carriage. The houses that I passed stood back from the road. Though it was winter, the ' pines were still green, but the other trees were lore. The ground was .frosty, and echoed un der my horse's tread, and as I approached' the tavern the lights looked bright and cheerful. "I think I should have stopped to warm my toes at the fire and my inner man with some thing of which you ladies disapprove, but that my disguise forbade it, and after staring in at the door a moment I rode on, not without a sigh. As I did so I saw a man at the door make a signal to another who made haste to join him. Perhaps they recognired my horse, and it provoked me to think that I might be be trayed. I put spurs to my horse, and when I heard, the sound of hoofs behind me I rode faster. It was at a point where three roads met at a bridge over a rapid stream that my pursuers gained upon me, and two armed men arrested tar progress. 'Halt, or we fire? cried a rough voice at my ear, and my bridle was seized, as I supposed, by a highwayman. "GeneraUr I carried a pistol with me, but in the excitement of making up for my character I had left it behind me. I was unarmed; but, after all, I reflected if I could pass for a negro I might ride on at will, my handsome cloak perhaps the only forfeit. I threw it off; and in my, best imitation of the negro style, ex claimed. " 'What massa want of poor ole black Ben? Ole nigger goin on an errand. Ole nigger got no money, got no watch, got no nufnn. Ole Ben an't done nufnn wrong, sartin sure, mas sa ' 'Hold your tongue, you rascal!" cried one of the men. This is our man, eh. Smith I Answers to the description, clothes and all. You're Whitney! Jim. You robbed him of $50 yesterday and ran away. I knew you at sight you black thief you. But whose bone ) ou've got passes me. Ride back betvt ecn us, or it will be the worse for you. " 'Gentlemen I replied, in my most civil manner, 'you have made a very excusable mis take, but I can explain who I am. I am not a negro; I am no more black than you are." "At ibis the men burst Into a roar of laugh ter, bade roe hold my tongue, and ride on. I saw that they were both very much intoxicated, and though I hope I am no coward, I had no wish to die shot for a thievish runaway negro on the high road. " 'It will be a mere joke when the truth comes out,' I said to myself, and rode on in silence to the irate of the Smiths' place. ' 'Smith in?" cried one of my conductors over the fence. 'We've gotjlm. "An old negro tumbled out of the kitchen door, rubbing his eyes and staring. " 'Hi, got JlraT he said. 'Dat are a berry bad darkle. I'se 'shamed ob dat nigga.

I'se tettin up for 'em.' "The men swore furiously, and inquired what was to be done with me; and I felt that lids was a quandary Indeed, for I had calculated on en Joying the Joke with Smith; but Sam was Intelli. 1 Tr..

Now light down, Jim, and giro us no trouble, or we'll shoot.' "I measured my antagonists, nml drunk ns they were, felt sure that I could liave knocked them down and ridden off. And had they been sober they would not have shot me, for t was sup posed to be a valuable piece of property; but intoxicated, men are not to be trusted, and their pitols were In their hands. " 'Will you listen to reason?' 1 shouted, 'Get lights and )ou will see I am no negro, lama white gentleman. 1 am disguised for the mas querade' "But at this point shouts of derision over whelmed my voice, and my captots, assisted by Saty, bundled me into the office, a wooden structure not far from the house, where business was transacted and iraroty servants brought to their senses where horses and slaves were sold, and rice and cotton bargained for; there I was locked up, and I soon heard my captors ride aw ay. I lere was a pretty end to my masquerad ing frolic, and Sally Peyton was. doubtless, dancing with young IVyton, and the supper was spread, and the fun going on, and I was here. "The office was damp and dark. The fire had burned out in the chimney place. I sat upon Smith's table, and swung my feet, and the words 1 uttered were never in the catechism, I am afraid, more shame to me. In about 15 min utes, however, I saw a light at the window the blue flame of a match. It lit Sam's dusky coun tenance. "'You dar, Jim?' he cried. 'You ilar?" I'se sorry for you, Jim. But white (oiks has all de power. I dussent show my feelin' nohow.' '"I'm not Jim,' I answered. " 'Dat ar statement ar unsensible, said Sam, coldly. 'I knows you ar Jim sure muff, but I'se got frelin's. Ef you should Noffer me harf dat ar $50 what you stole, you'd touch "em so I'd unlock de door, and den burst off de lock, so marse t'ink sure 'nuff ou done gone bust It. My feelin's is tender, Jim, when dey ar touched right. " 'You old rascal.' said 1. But if I had had $35 in my pocket, I think Sam might have got it then and there. " 'Sam, said I, 'I'm young Willis Master Ned you know Pete's Master Ned going to the masquerade. Let me out, and I'll nuke ou a present to-morrow.' " 'Oh, Jim, Jim,' said Sam. in tones of deep est sorrow, "Oh, Jim, Jim, don't you know de deceitfulness ob lying, and dat it nr contrary to Scriptiir? Go away, go long 1 I knows at ar baize jacket. I got no use for you no more. I'se 'shamed ob you. You give me dat $35. and I'll put what I believe proper in de missionary box, and dat will make my duty plain.' Voq confounded rascal!' said I. Sartainly ybu is smart, said Sam. You talks jes' like eddicated first class white folks. but de debble have desarted you. I'se jest a plain up and down niggar 'hogany col lor, like de Lord made me, but I'se aboe sich conduck as dat you lower yerself to. Sure 'nuff, you won't conlnbblt to de missionaries l" "I remained silent. He vanished. "I had a very cheerful disposition in those days, and as I sat swinging my feet I began to comfort myself with the idea that this, after all, was the greatest compliment to my talent as an actor. I determined to deceive Smith ns long as I could, then enjoy the joke with him, and I found myself laughing heartily over the expect ed fun. "There was a clock in the office, it struck at intervals 10 ji ia 1. At what I supposed to be 1 .30, wagon wheels roiled along the road and stopped at the gate. , " 'Hullo. Saml Awake I heard Smith say, in tones that proved be bad not refused the old bourbon always offered to the guest by his host at every merry-making. "What are you grin ning at? " 'Jim dun got caught, Marse Puriy fetch him in "bout 9 o'clock,' said Sam. 'I've preached to him considerable on de error ob his way, but he aren't penitent, I'se 'shamed ob him. lie's dar in de office.' " 'Confound his black skfn. said Smith. 'Ill flog him to-night. I'll flog him myself.' " 'Don't, dear,' sighed Mrs. Smith, a kind, little woman. 'It was such a temptation. Scold him to-morrow what's the use of flogging X " 'Spare the rod, and spoil the child,' said Smith, with a dignity born of bourbon whisky. 'My servants must be taught right from wrong. Give me the key, and fetch a horsewhip, Sam.' "I heard Mrs. Smith and her daughters cry ing and pleading for thieving Jim; but Smith in his cups was unmanageable. "He opened the door. I saw his big white head and uplifted ana. " 'Don't make a mistake you'll be sorry for, Smith,' I said. 'I'm noljim. "I drop a veil over what followed. I never whipped one of my servants after that, or al lowed one to be whipped. I lasted the Lash my self that night, "It was Mrs. Smith who, trying to help Jim as she believed, came to the office with sal vola tile and wine, and found me out. "I was Ike guest of the family by force for some days, and my intention was to challenge Smith, as soon as I was able to hold a pistol, but during my convalescence I fell in love with Miss Matilda Smith, and she did not refuse to listen to me. One docs not challenge one's father-in-law, and we were married in the early spring. But I have a prejudice against masquerade par ties to this day, and nothing could persuade me to attend one as a masker." About $65,000 were collected in this country for the defense of O'Donnell, the slayer of the informer Carey. His counsel, A. M. Sullivan, writes that counsel fees and expenses of the trial amounted to about $13,500. Now a demand is made to know what has become of the balance of the fund, amounting to over $50,000. A good many people make a living by their profes sions ef patriotism. Of all the money contrib uted by the people of this country toward the amelioration of the poor of Ireland, it is doubt ful if one-third ever reached those for whom it was intended. The war against gambling, recently Inaugu rated by the municipal authorities in Texas cit ies, has led the papers to discussing the whole subject. All agree that the utter suppression of the vice it Impossible, but while a few would le galize and regulate il by law, the majority favor stringent repressive measures. The gambling mania pervades all classes, from he who invests in a lottery ticket to the more wealthy class who speculate in Wall street. Advice seems lo be throw n arnay on both classes. "The people say give us cheap tea, coffee, curar. Cheapen all the articles of ceneral family consumption. " N. Y, World. There you go again.

Utter recently puUlsiietfan the North American Review a trU'clim &'6ja John Brown that brought forth a reply frtrutrie pen of Senator J. J. lngalls of Kansas. Iriiiw con cluding paragraph of IngnlH' paper ho makes the following statement, which may Uo regarded as an epitome of the exact estimate h would place upon the man: "Already the great Intellectual leaders' of the movement tor me MKVliOon or slavery are dead. The student of the future will exhume their ora. tlons, arguments and state paper as a jpart of the subterranean history of the epoch.. The an tiquarian will dig tip their remains from the allu vial drill of the period and construe their rv4. tions to the great events In which they were actors; but the three men of this cm who will loom forever ng.imst the remotest horiion or time, as the pyramid, almv-c the voiceless ileicrt or the mountain peaks over the subordinate pl.vlns, are Abnvham Uncoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Old John Bruvvti of Osawatomlo." Dr. Utter adjudges John Brown to have been "a felonious poltroon, an Impostor and aiftusas sin;" Senator lngalls declares him to have been a "hero, a patriot nnd a martyr." He asks us to Judge the nun by the times, not by the peace ful environment of to-day. The great question of the freedom of Kansas was the muttering of the overthrow of slavery, which was lttcr"to con vulse the country. The massacre of Pottawato mie was a necessity in the face of the fact that It prevented greater evil, lngalls gives a clear and concise history of the time, saying that In 1856 the legislature was elected by Mlssourlans, who entered the territory in armed bands for that purpose, and that they obtained control of the polls at Lawrence by means of pistols, rifles, bowieknives and cannons loaded with muvket bills, devising a scheme which should dep ivc the people for two) ears of all control over the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the territorial government. I'ro-slai-.'y men filled every office, and the most infamous statute was adopted, which affiled the penalty of death to carrying or assisting slaves out of the terri tory. It was at this juncture that "a gaunt, grim, gray, formidable figure" made its appear ance upon the scene that of John brown of Osavvatoinle. Senator lngalls, In direct opposi tion to Utter, asserts that Brown went to Kansas not as a dumber of the peace, but as a promoter of right and justice, and that the massacre of Pottawatomie prevented the greater crime of driving out. burning nnd killing every man, woman and child who was for Kansas being a free stale. In proof of this statement Senator lngalls quotes James Townslcy, who says: "1 became and am satisfied that it resulted in good to the free-state cause, and was specially beneficial to the free-state settlers on lottawato mie creek. The pro-siav ery men were dreadfully terrified, and large numbers of them' left the ter ritory. It was afterward said that one free-state man could scare a company of them." From Judge Hantan the following is given: "I did not know of a settler of 1856 hut what regarded it as amongst the most fortunate events in the history of K visas. If saved the lives of the free-state men on the creek, and those who did the act were looked upon ns dchvoxrs." After the Pottawatomie slaughter Jolm Brown lived many months in Kansas, participating in a number of important battles. After benefiting the slate In a number of ways he went to Canada, and after that his career twlonged to the history of the nation. Says Senator Ingalts: "Out of the tmrtcntous and menacing cloud of anti-slavery sentiment that had long brooded with sullen discontent, a UiWful meteor above the north, he sprang, like a terrific thunderbolt, whose hind clare illuminated the continent with its devastating flame, and whoso reverberations among the splintered crags of Harpers Kerry were rrieatcd on a thousand baltle-tiekls. from Gettysburg to the gulf. From the Instant tliat shot was fired the discussion and debate of cen turies was at an end. He who was not for slavery was agiinst it. The north became verte bratrd, and the age of cartilage and compromise w-as at an end. '1 he nation seized the standard of universal emancipation, which drooped from Ins dving hand on the scaffokh at OCatieston, uMd born it in triumph to Appoai4tmx44ledie(t as he had lived, a Puritan of the IWUini"' Some idea of the growth of this country may be gathered from the postal statistics just pub-1 nsneii in Washington. In the year 17S9 there were 75 postofficcs and 3375 miles of postal route. The revenue of the department was $7510 and the expenditure $7560. The amount paid for transportation was $5563. The imputa tion of the United Slates at that lime was 3,919. 314. The figures for 1833'give the number of offices at 46,331; extent in miles, 343.613, reve nue, $41,833,005; expenditure, $40,433,031; paid for transportation, $23,845,113; postage stamps, etc., Issued, 40,978,053; money orders, 113.400,118; letters received in dead letter office, 4,285,385; population, 50,155.783. A case of trance has lately ended in Glasgow. A woman 35 years of age has lain since last June in a state of coma, motionless, with closed eyes, a pulse of about 80 per minute, natural temper ature, nnd normal breathing. Consciousness was entirely absent until at the end of Novem ber she suddenly awoke, and is now recovering her wonted strength. During her long sleep she was fed daily by a stomach tube. The case Is well-nigh unique on account of its duration., Thev trances are the nuzzle of the physiologist. and simulate death so closely that patients have been in danger of burial alive. That great statesman, Morrison, has found himself so entangled on the tariff question that he proposes to bring in a bill for a horizontal reduction. This shows the actual amount of the business capacity of the great committee on ways and means. They arc up as to the means, but the ways get them. The government it about to proceed against a number of importing firms in New York, bos ton and Philadelphia for fraudulent practices by undervaluation of goods. It Is claimed that the government has been cheated by the Illegal acts of these importers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. OHBAPBSTI uickest and Best TTTIMPIRK CITY AND DRAIN'.

The potato, originally a South American plant, wat Introduced lo Virginia by Sir John Harvey In 1639, though, it was unknown, in some conn ties of Kngland 150 years later. In IViinsyl vnnia potatoes am mentioned very soon nfter the advent of the Quakers; they were not njnong New York products In 1695, but In 1775 we arc told of n.ooo bushels grown on one 16-acre patch In this province. lVt.Moes were served, perhaps at an exotic rarity, at a Harvard lnstnl latlon dinner In 1707; hut the plant was only brought Into culture in New Kngland nt the arri val of the I'reshvterlan Immigrants from Ireland In 1718. Five bushels were accounted a large crop of potntoes for a Connecticut farmer; for it was held that If a man ale them every day he could not live ticvonc! seven years. The Drute and the Deauty. inowiviis.i A young lady, who thought her personal charms gave her n right to be disagreeable, was a few nights since nt a pvrty, during which quar rels between husband and wife were dUcussed. "I thluk," said an tinnnrtlcd elder son who was present, "that the proKr thing Is for the husUind to have It out nt once, and thus avoid quarrels for the future. I would ilght a cigar In the carriage after the wedding breakfast, nnd settle the smoking question forever." "I would knock the cigar out of ywr mouth," interrupted the belle. "Do you know, 1 don't think you would be there?" quietly remarked the elder son. We are glad to sec that our democratic friends nt Washington ure talking once more nlout cleaning the Augean stables, nnd turning on the electrio light of publicity, and so on. After their previous experience In this fascinating but uiiremunerativc line ot business we should think tlmt they would light shy of It; but that is their affair.

It Is estimated that there are now In the Uni ted States 15,000,000 milch cows, nnd that there arc made anniitlly i.aoo.ooo.ooojioundsof but ler and 450,000,000 pounds of eflwsc. In 1880, as. shown by the census, 7-3,50.1,000 ounitof butter were made on farms, nnd 29,451.000 pounds In factories, nnd a total of 313, 145,000 pounds of cheese. Besides this over 17,000,000 pounds of oleomargarine were also mauufve tured. It is claimed by distillers that so much more whisky is manufactured than there is a ilennnd for tliat they are unable to dlsiosc of' that in bond, and they are therefore unable to pay the tax as it becomes due. If there le too much vhisky, why not stop manufacturing?
