<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>WORE MEN'S CLOTHES.
A Wife Tramps From Georgia to Council Bluffs.
A few days ago a bright appearing colored boy (?) came to the Grand hotel and asked permission to see the waiters. The desired permission was given and when the young man was introduced to the room where the waiters were assembled ready to enter the dining room, he walked up to one of the number, Ed. Jones, and said:
"Good day, Mistah Jones."
"I don' believe I know you," said Jones, after carefully scrutinizing the stranger.
"Oh, I guess yo' do," returned the other, confidently, and Jones looked again. Suddenly a light broke over his astonished features and he exclaimed, "Fo de Lawd's sake, it's Nellie." And sure
enough, it was Nellie.
The young couple were married in Georgia, and Jones, finding that he could not make a living there, emigrated to the north and finally came to Council Bluffs. He had failed to hear from his wife for some time until she walked into the Grand. She had tired of the south too, and had concluded to follow her husband and had dressed herself in boy's or men's clothes and had tramped it to Council Bluffs.
It is gratifying to relate that the romance had no unpleasant ending. Jones lost attendance on one meal, and the hotel while he was securing a place for himself and his wife, and then returned to work.—Omaha Progress.

Mr. and Mrs. D. Thornell of Brad-

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>A FAMILY REUNION.
</p><p>HOW AN ESCAPED SLAVE BECAME WEALTHY AND DISCOVERED HIS RELATIVES.
</p><p>A Chicago paper tells the story of the return to the South of an escaped slave, who had amassed wealth in the North, and recently started on a journey to discover his relatives, whom he found in Louisiana. The story is as follows:
"A few years ago, a runaway boy, with his face turned over his shoulder to watch against pursuit, came from the State of Kentucky and slavery to Illinois. He stole away in the night. He stole more than that, for he stole a likely mulatto boy worth a plump thousand dollars. He ignorantly forgot the guards which the Constitution and the laws had set about the sacred institutions of the South. He little reckoned that by his individual act he was swelling the amount of "aggravation," which at its height would induce its possessors to set their end of the national temple on fire.
"Ten years from the time when the runaway Kentucky mulatto followed the North star, he began his return journey in broad daylight, in a first class car with his fare paid. The Fugitive Slave law was a forgotten wisp. He journeyed South as leisurely and as much at his ease as the proudest peer of the land, with a full purse and a comfortable bank account to draw upon at home. This slave boy of twelve years ago was now to make a thorough search among the ruins of the fallen prison-house of slavery for the mother and sisters he left behind him in his flight. From that journey he has just returned successful. He visited the lower landings of the Mississippi, patiently followed up every clue he could gain in New Orleans, and at the close of a day's ride a few weeks since, came upon a straggling eastern Louisiana household, and behold, his mother, brothers and sisters stood before him.
"The edict of freedom had reached that place, and the freedmen were working by an arrangement with their mistress. The master was dead. He vindictively followed a brother of Mr. Ambrose into the swamps, retook him, but also took cold, lived only to flog him and sell him in Mobile for a haystack of rebel notes, and then turned his face to the wall and died. The whole family were wretchedly poor, and the mistress not too proud to receive a sum of money from her returned runaway. There is but little more to add. Mr. Ambrose, having recovered his family, intends to establish them, at their wish, on a farm near New Madrid, Missouri, according to their preference, although he offered to bring them all to Illinois. It is one of the reunions of families of which there will be many, the fruit of the great manumission."

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Dear editor: I am inquiring for some of my folks, especially my son. I lived in Page county, Va., and had two sisters and one brother, Angeline, Frances and Richard Pollatt. I left them in 1853. My father went to Pennsylvania when I was small. His name was Henry Pollatt. My mother was named Octavia. I am the mother of ten children I left my son Godfrey in Page county with Jackson McCoy. Tavern keeper Harvey died before I left. I had one child with me, Sarah, eleven months old. I have only two living now, Parmelia and William Edward. My husband's name was Noah Douglass, and he was a first cousin to Hon. Fred Douglass. He belonged to Davy Strickland. He was brought out here one month before me, and I carried on so about him that they sold me out here. My husband father's name was Henry Douglass. Henry Douglass and Fred Douglass' father were brothers, hence they are first cousins. I am 68 years old. Any information of my son or relatives will be thankfully received. I have a home in this place, but a word from them would be of consolation to me before I die. I am a member of the St. James Methodist Episcopal Church. Write me care of Rev. H. J. Wright, the pastor.
Yours,
MARY JANE DOUGLASS.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Dear editor: I am inquiring for some of my folks, especially my son. I lived in Page county, Va., and had two sisters and one brother, Angeline, Frances and Richard Pollatt. I left them in 1853. My father went to Pennsylvania when I was small. His name was Henry Pollatt. My mother was named Octavia. I am the mother of ten children I left my son Godfrey in Page county with Jackson McCoy. Tavern keeper Harvey died before I left. I had one child with me, Sarah, eleven months old. I have only two living now, Parmelia and William Edward. My husband's name was Noah Douglass, and he was a first cousin to Hon. Fred Douglass. He belonged to Davy Strickland. He was brought out here one month before me, and I carried on so about him that they sold me out here. My husband father's name was Henry Douglass. Henry Douglass and Fred Douglass' father were brothers, hence they are first cousins. I am 68 years old. Any information of my son or relatives will be thankfully received. I have a home in this place, but a word from them would be of consolation to me before I die. I am a member of the St. James Methodist Episcopal Church. Write me care of Rev. H. J. Wright, the pastor.
Yours,
MARY JANE DOUGLASS.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR— I wish to inquire for two brothers and one sister— James Almnight, Henry Davidson and Mary Knight. Brothers left me at Batesville in 1865. James went to Helena and then to New Orleans. The last I heard of him he was living at the latter place in 1870. Henry went to Ohio about the close of the war. The last I heard of him was in 1873, when he was in Ohio. I left my sister in Fairfield, Tenn., and the last I heard of her she was living with Mr Armstrong at that place. She belonged to Will Knight, in Bedford Co., Tenn. When I was in Tennessee I belonged to Henry Davidson, was carried to Texas by Mack Norton and brought back by Matt Norton. My name was Sarah Davidson, but after the war I went by the name of Sarah Vance—my father's name. Address me at Batesville, Ark., in
care of Rev. W. H. Higgins.
SARAH RATLIFF.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>MR. EDITOR— I herewith send a notice hunting for the kin people of a member of my church here. He was born near Lebanon Tenn., and lived on a farm not far from Lebanon. He thinks his mother's name was Caroline and that he had a twin brother. When three years of age he was sold to pay a debt. He was put in jail at the above named place. When he was starting away his mother was whipped in the dining room because she cried. When the boy cried his master whipped him also. A man named Fain, who lived at Ripley, bought him as a present for his daughter, a Mrs. Mattie Green, whose husband was a tailor. He was sold in front of the Old Tavern, in Lebanon, Tenn. If the pastors of our churches in Tennessee will read this notice from their pulpits they may be able to find out something concerning this affair and thus make this man happy. Any information or questions directed to me will receive immediate attention. —L. M. Hagood, pastor Union M. E. Church. Cincinnati, Ohio.

<p>DEAR EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my guardians, George and Salley Hunter. They left the city about thirteen years ago and said they were going to Norfolk, Va., but I have never received any answer to my letters. My parent's names were Handy and Sarah Forrest. I am anxious to hear from my guardians. Address me at Simpson Chapel, Valence street near Chestnut street, New Orleans, La. BENNET G. FORREST.</p>
