A Family Reconstructed Our readers recollect the Notice to the Friends of Humanity, on behalf of Mr. W. Ambrose, of Chicago, then in search for his mother, brothers and sisters, which appeared a few days ago in our columns. The following letter, conveying the glad tiding of the reunion of all the members of the family, will be read with uncommon interest: AUGUST 30, 1865. New Orleans Tribune: I have the pleasure to inform you that Mr. Ambrose Brackens has found his family, including his mother and all her childrens, nine in number, besides sundry new relatives, who by marriage have joined the house of his kindred in their long separation. Mr. Ambrose desires me to thank you in his name for your kindness; which, owing to his leaving for Chicago to-day, he is unable to acknowledge in person as he wished to do. He found his kinsfolks about seventy miles up the Jackson Railroad, in quite a destitute condition, but alive and at work. Brackens, the old master is dead. Mrs. Brackens begged him, her former slave, to take her away to some place of security and plenty. He declined to do so, because Mrs. Brackens had, recently, beaten his old mother until the Prost Marshal had interfered. Upon his mistress, bursting into tears, and exhibiting great distress, Mr. Ambrose gave her some money, and bade her repent and do better!! Mr. Ambrose has provided for the wants of his family, and will soon send for them. The whole story of Mr. Ambrose Brackens will be another chapter in the history of slavery, which history, when written by the colored man himself in the future, will be a contribution to literature, unsurpassed in pathos, incident, daring, fidelity, and endurance in long suffering, and swift and marvellous retribution; and in the almost miraculous redemption of a people from a terrible bondage. Very respectfully, B. RUSH PLUMLY.

A FAMILY REUNION. HOW AN ESCAPED SLAVE BECAME WEALTHY AND DISCOVERED HIS RELATIVES. 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."

A SLAVE'S ROMANCE. Reunited at Eighty with the Husband of Her Youth. A colored woman, bent nearly double with eighty years and a heavy bundle, was seen to board the Cincinnati Mail line packet yesterday afternoon, says the Louisville (Ky.) Post. Approaching the clerk of the boat she slowly untied a knot in the corner of her red bandana handkerchief and produced enough cash to purchase a deck ticket for Cincinnati. The wrinkled and feeble old negress is the heroine of a romance. In antebellum days she was a slave and was owned by a planter near Asheville, N. C. At an early age she was married to a slave of the same master. By him she had several children. Over half a century ago her husband was torn from her and her children and was sold to another planter. The woman continued to work on the North Carolina plantation, and in a short time was again married. Her whole family was then put on the block and sold to a Virginia man. When the emancipation proclamation was promulgated the family took advantage of their freedom and journeyed northward, finally taking up their home in Louisville. The husband died after the close of the war, and the children one by one left their mother to seek their fortunes elsewhere. The mother toiled and labored to make a livelihood. She heard nothing of her first husband until about a month ago, when one of her sons found that the old man was living in Newport, Ky. The old negress journeyed thither and found the husband of her youth. He had also been married the second time and had several children by the second wife. The latter was dead, however, and the reunited couple decided to again live together. The woman returned to Louisville, disposed of her effects, and yesterday afternoon completed the romance of fifty years by returning to her husband.

A Strange Incident.—Six years ago, a young black man in Maryland, tired of being a slave, took advantage of a propitious night, and ran away to Canada. On sending back an occasional message to his aged father, who remained behind in bonds, he found means, for some time, of procuring answers, until at length no more answers came. Then for five years he heard nothing, and neither father nor son knew if the other were alive or dead. A few days ago, a gentleman in a public position in this city received a letter from this dusky Canadian correspondent, asking if there were any possible way of finding out something about his father. This letter was shortly afterwards enclosed to an editor of this paper, and was lying open on his desk, when the office was entered by a stranger from a Border State—an old man with a black face—and no other than the young man's father! So the letter had an unexpected and speedy answer, and by this time the father and son have seen each other face to face! Who shall say that the kind providence of God does not signally favor the poor and the lowly whom men despise?—Independent.

A. Rogers, Crystal Springs, Miss., wants to find Andy Jenkins, who had two sisters in Mississippi; Caroline and Mary Jenkins.

After Thirty-three Years. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov 15--An incident transpired here today singularly illustrative of the infamies of the late system of negro slavery in the United States, and of the unholy rebellion that led to its overthrow. George W. Moveety, a respected colored man of our city, was born a slave in Southampton County, Virginia, and in 1853, when in his 23rd year, was taken from his mother and sister and sold on the block to a negro trader, who took George to Mississippi and resold him to a cotton planter. The War came, and before it was over, George ran off, got into the Union lines, and became a soldier for his country and race's liberty. At its close he settled in Indiana, and a few years ago came here. Today he chanced to step into the Wabash Depot, and while there was electrified and almost struck dumb to find his sister, now Mrs. Petrin, and her husband and his old mother, both of whom he had not seen or heard of for a third of a century, and who he supposed were dead. They were en route to Iowa, and by the merest chance they were thus brought face to face as freemen, and not as chattels as in ante-bellum days. The meeting was a happy one, and the two families will soon be permanently together.

AMBROSE, of the firm of Ambrose & Jackson, Restaurant keepers. 91 Clark street, Chicago, Ill., wishes most earnestly to find the family of his mother, brothers and sisters, and will state the following particulars in his own words: "I was known in Kentucky by the name of AMBROSE BRACKENS. The family moved from Pleasant Run Washington Co., near Springfield, to New Madrid, Mo. about 80 miles below Cairo, about ten years ago, at which time I took my freedom and came North, and have never seen the family or my mother since. About four and a half years ago, my mother's family moved from New Madrid to Algiers, opposite New Orleans. They afterwards moved to Madisonville; from Madisonville back to New Orleans about three years ago, where they lived at the Tivoli Circle. The boys, John and Henry Brackens, worked at the Jackson Depot. Rumor says that Mr. Brackens afterwards carried them from New Orleans to Texas. Two boys, twins, have been born since I left the family. The family was well-known in Madisonville. I had a brother, John, of very dark complexion. My mother's name was Mary Brackens. I had a sister, Mahala, named for her aunt, Mahala Jet, who lives at Pleasant Run, Ky. My next brother's name was Henry; then my sisters, Martha and Sarah, and brother Wilson. My step-father went by the name of Uncle Jack. My brothers and sisters are all named Brackens. The people my mother and children lived with were named Wm. R. Brackens, usually called "Bill Brackens," and his wife Elizabeth Brackens, called "Betsy Brackens," who was a grand daughter of old Hughey Gurdon of Washington Co., Ky.

Jas. H. Berry, who served as an ensign and executive officer on the famous iron-clad, "Essex," during the late war, has made application for a pension. He has furnished the Commissioner in Washington with satisfactory evidence, that he was a well man when he entered the service and an injured one when honorably discharged, but the evidence is required of some witness cognizant of the wounding before Port Hudson in 1863. A difficulty is encountered by Mr. Berry, who does not know the address of any officer or seaman on board the Essex at that time. The crew was dismissed, and frequently recruited, and on its discharge from service scattered abroad. A large number of colored men served on the Essex, and if any one of them can aid Officer Berry in securing his deserved pension, it is hoped they will communicate with him at once, directing their letters to Box 341, Houston, Texas. It should be a pleasure to thus serve any of the crew of the Essex, which participated in every historic fight from the engagement at Fort Henry, down to the battle of Baton Rouge, and the surrender of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. Let Methodist preachers read this from their pulpits or make it known otherwise to their congregations.

WALTERBORO', S. C., March 14, 1866. MR. EDITOR -- I feel that I am under some obligations to write you a few lines of matters and things of interest to your readers. I have been a soldier in the U. S. service for two years and nine months, and I have always tried to serve my country faithfully. And that now my term of service is about to expire, I wish to spend the balance of my life as a free and intelligent citizen of the United States, [and] think I may now have some claim to that distinction. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and I have labored to uphold the Government; and now think the Government should do something for me. I am a human being and thence-forth want to be considered as such. It has been said that a negro cannot make a living without having a master to drive him. I made a living when I was a boy, and had no one to drive me to work, or to tell me when to stop. I am now twenty-one years old, and if I cannot stand alone, and make a living, I deserve to starve. Give the colored man a fair chance and an open field, and he will not only support himself, but help to support others. C.M. MANNING Co. 36th U S C T F

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 26.--The slave block, once the center of com- merce in New Orleans, has rotted, and even its former site has been oblitera- ted by the hand of progress. But memories of Christmas, seventy years ago were revived here yesterday by three aged negroes, brothers, who were separated by the slave block in 1859. They met for the first time in more than a half century, and after a day spent in Louisville left last night to visit their mother in Litch- field whom they have not seen since that day. Their mother is more than 100, and at the point of death. The three were put up for auction, and each was sold to a different master, two to Louisianians and one to a Tennesseean.

A Long Lost Mother. ---- [Evansville Journal.] Twenty-eight years ago Mary Stowers, a slave woman, belonging to Harrison Stowers, of Owensboro, was sold to parties living in Shelby county, Kentucky, and was with her little girl of two years taken away, leaving her boy, Willis Green, then four years old, with her former master, John Stowers, who had sold her to his brother. For some time after her sale she managed to send word to her boy occasionally, but after a couple years she was sold to the dreaded negro-traders, and was taken south, after which all trace of her was lost. The boy Willis grew to manhood, and by the events of the war became free and came to Evansville. During all these years, not having heard of his mother, he supposed her dead, but her memory was still bright, and he often thought of her as she must have suffered in the cotton-field under the lash of the cruel taskmaster. On Monday he was almost electrified at being told that an old woman, claiming to be his mother, was in the city in search of him, but the lapse of time had been so great that he was incredulous, but faint as the hope was, he determined to follow it, and see if it should prove delusive. He went, as directed, to the house of his uncle Ed. Davis, and there met an old woman who clasped him in her arms, and wept over him as her son. To test the genuineness of her claim, Willis asked, "How do you know I am your son?" And the old woman gave her reasons, detailing facts that were known to him as having occurred. He then showed her his right hand, and asked, "Can you tell how I lost that little finger?" "Yes," replied she, "your young master cut it off while chopping a trough," and Willis accepted the evidence as much stronger than that of the traditional strawberry mark. The aged woman, after being sold to Alabama, was placed on a cotton farm, and worked as a field hand until the close of the war extinguished slavery. As soon as free, she determined to return, and worked to that end, but ill health several times interfered to prevent, and it was not until two weeks ago that she found her way to Lewisport, and subsequently to Owensboro, where she heard that her daughter was dead and her son, and brother, (Ed. Davis), were in Evansville, and now, after a separation of twenty-eight years, the old and broken down woman has found her son, who rejoices at the reunion, and welcomes her to his humble home.

A Long Lost Son. Any one knowing of the whereabouts of John Dixon, colored, will confer a favor by communicating with his mother, Ellen Dixon, care of NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. The following is from a memorandum made by Mr. John T. Bloxham during the late war: On Thursday, Aug. 8, 1861, in the evening, about 4 o'clock; my negro boy, John Dixon, was carried off by some one of 32d California regiment, New York. The boy is dark copper color, and is supposed to be about 5 feet 6 or 8 inches in height, 19 years old. This regiment is commanded by Col. Madison. Sept. 10, Henry Morris, the colonel's cook, told me that Lieut. Dimont said he left the said negro boy with Lieut. Col. Pinto in New York. This said Pinto belonged to the same regiment. JOHN T.

She is now 31 years of age and has just heard of the whereabouts of her mother and family for the first time. She has been making strenuous efforts to discover them for several years, and received to- day a letter in reply to an advertisement inserted by her in a Richmond, Va., paper, informing her that they were alive and well and living in Richmond. Mrs. Calmikle is very happy at the discovery, and will soon visit them.

A Mother of Twenty-seven Children in Search of Her Offspring. To the Editor of the Banner: Knowing that you have always been kind to the poor I desire to put this notice in your paper: I desire to know of the whereabouts of my five children (colored), viz: Polly Bell, Grafton Bell, Jeremiah Bell, Lorenzo Bell and Fanny Bell. They lived in Dickson County when last heard from. I have made every effort in my power to hear from them, and, having failed therein, am very un- happy [unhappy]. We were separated in the year 1858, at which time we resided in Dickson County, at Bell's Iron Works. I have had 'twenty-seven children', and now I don't know the whereabouts of but three. Very respectfully, JANE BELL, Formerly servant of Montgomery Bell and now at the Planters' Hotel, Summer Street.

A Mother's Search. An interesting incident has just been brought to light in Owensboro, Ky., in which Martha Cobble, who served a great portion of her life in slavery in Virginia, and who forty years ago was separated from her children, is the he- roine. The mother and her offspring were owned by a planter in Richmond, Va., and at the breaking out of the gold excitement in California in 1849 her master sold her two sons, aged 8 and 10 years, to a slave-trader from New Orleans to secure money to go to the gold fields. The boys were taken to New Orleans, where they were again sold, the oldest, Thurston Cobble, to parties in Henderson, Ky., and his broth- er Ned to a party living in Texas. As soon as her boys were taken from her the mother, who was held by the chains of slavery, set about to learn where her children were taken and to keep trace of them, hoped that some day they would be reunited. She succeeded in learning that they had been taken to New Orleans, but here she lost all trace of them, but did not despair, and con- tinued her search by means of letters written for her by friends to various parts of the country, all of which were fruitless. Soon as she was given freedom she worked hard and saved her earn- ings in order to pursue her search. She managed by stinting herself to visit New Orleans, thence to Memphis, Nash- ville, Tenn., and many other places, at last returning to Richmond, Va. During all her travels sha would get friends to write for her to points where she would occasionally receive information which might possibly bring her some news of her boys. Finally she, by some accident, learned that Thurston had been sold and taken to Henderson, Ky. She got some of her friends to write to some of the members of the Baptist church at Henderson. A reply was re- turned that he had gone to Daviess county, Ky. A letter was addressed to the Baptist church in Owensboro, which was handed to Thurston Cobble, who has been employed for some time as porter in the Deposit Bank. Thurston at once secured money and forwarded it to his aged mother, who is now 85 years old and nearly blind. The money brought the mother to Owensboro Sun- day, and the meeting of the faithful parent and her son was a joyous scene. She was also rewarded by learning that her other son is doing well near Dallas, Tex.

A NOTABLE GATHERING. Five Generations Meet in This City-- A Family's Strange History. Yesterday morning a reporter was directed to visit No.246 Linden square, where a colored family by the name of Johnson resided, and assured that he would there find an interesting item. Ellen Johnson, the mistress of the house, told a very peculiar story. She said that fifty years ago she and her mother were slaves, owned by Mr. Ben Johnson, of Frankfort, Ky. She was about ten years old when her mother was sold and taken away from her. When she was twenty-five years of age she came to Louisville, and has since lived here, having married in the meantime. She had not seen or heard of her mother since they parted, fifty years ago, until last February, when she received a letter from her parent, dated New Orleans. The old woman heard in some way that her daughter was living in Louisville and at once made up her mind to come and live with her. Shortly after this she was taken sick and was not able to travel. Thursday night about 8 o'clock neighbors were surprised to hear a joyous uproar coming from No. 246. Everybody in the house seemed to be shouting and yelling at the top of their voices. The din sounded like a regular camp-meeting jubilee, and was prolonged until about 11 o'clock. Yesterday inquiries were made, and it was learned that the old woman, the mother of Ellen Johnson, who had been parted from her daughter for fifty years, had arrived. Mother and daughter of course did not recognize each other, but were overjoyed, nevertheless. The mother is 112 years old and her daughter 60. Living in the house with Mrs. Ellen are her great grand-children. This makes them the great great grandchildren of Mrs. Johnson's mother. Strange as it may seem, the reporter saw the great great grandmother, the great grand-mother, the grandmother, mother and children all assembled in the same room.

A Romance of Slavery. Saturday two ex-slaves, neither of whom had ever been married before, were granted a license to wed by probate Judge Snyder. They were Richard Jones, aged 55, and Jane Vaughn, aged 40, both of this city. The two negroes, when children, were owned by the same master. When the war was over and the slaves emancipated the two were separated and did not meet again until quite recently. The old friendship was renewed, and as both were single they became engaged, and Saturday night they were married.

A ROMANCE OF SLAVERY. The Husband and Wife Torn Apart Forty Years Ago Happily United. Rome, Ga. Special to Courier-Journal. That there are romances as touching in negro life as were ever told is proven by the story of a colored couple named Uncle Levi and Aunt Aggie, who lived in Cedartown Valley. In 1840 Levi belonged to Mr. Sparks, who then resided in Morgan county. In the same county lived Dr. E. E. Jones. Among Dr. Jones’ slaves was a fine looking mulatto girl, whoes smiles was courted by every young male slave in the community. She was named Aggie. Levi and Aggie met often at corn-shucking frolics. They were partners in the dance and play, and every Saturday night he would obtain a pass to visit her. Thus Levi wooed and Aggie was won. They married in 1843. “And I was so happy when I met every Saturday night to see my young wife,” said Uncle Levi. They had only been married a year when Mr. Sparks moved from Morgan to Polk county, carrying the broken hearted husband with him. After five or six years separation, believing they would never again see each other, Levi married one of his master’s women. “But, Boss, I never loved her like Aggie,” was the old man’s explanation. Aggie, too, married, and both raised a large family; but their thoughts often drifted to the past. Neither knew whether the other was living. At last came the down fall of the Confederacy and the freedom of slaves. Upon enquiry Uncle Levi found that his old love was still living and married. He went nobly to work for his second wife. Ten years ago Aunt Aggie’s husband died and left her without providers. News reached Uncle Levi, and he sent word to his old love to come and live with him and his wife. This Aunt Aggie refused to do. Years flew fast, and the boy and girl who sang and danced at the corn-shucking, who loved, married and were parted grew old with an aching void in their lives as its evening drew near. Two years ago Uncle Levi’s wife died, and after a few months mourning he went for Aunt Aggie. She went to her old love, and after a separation of forty years they were united. They return in part to days of their youth, and their love is young again. Everybody in the neighborhood has heard the sad story and they are recipients of many kindnesses. Aunt Aggie is now 60 and Uncle Levi is 70.

A Romance of Slavery. The Norfolk Virginian mentions a romantic incident in the life of a negro man named David Walke, who was sold and taken to New Orleans thirty-two years ago: At the time he was living as man and wife with a woman by the name of Nancy Gibbs. He remained in New Orleans until last year, when he paid a brief visit to this city and returned home. A few days since he packed up bag and baggage and came back to Norfolk to live. One of his first acts on arriving here was to procure a marriage license, and the next evening he and his former wife were legally united, he being eighty-three and she seventy years of age. Such constancy and indubitable evidence of affection outliving time and absence deserves notice. Both negroes were slaves of the old regime, and are both highly respected.

A Romance of Slavery. Columbus (Ohio) Journal. A very pretty story is told of the restoration to his children of an old colored man who was a slave before the late war. He belonged to one master, while his wife and two children, one of whom is now a minister and the other a Columbus coachman, were owned by another man, who liberated them at the time of his death. The three came to Ohio immediately, and had never seen or heard of the husband and father until, through aid rendered by the father of a well-known Columbus grain dealer, he was found in Washington, D. C.

A SAD DEATH. After Many Years an Aged Father Meets His Son and Soon After Dies. A pathetic death occurred in thi city day before yesterday that i worthy of more than a passing notice. Since the war Rev. Mack Henson, a colored preacher of this city, who because of his earnestness as a minister and his courteous and gentlemanly bearing is respected by all who know him, has been diligently trying to find his father from whom he was separated while a slave. He has written letter after letter, advertised in many newspapers, and even offered rewards for information of the whereabouts of his aged parent. After all these years his efforts were crowned with success, and about two weeks ago, to the great joy of the son his father was located in Alabama. Preparations were at once made to have him come to Austin, and Saturday the old gentleman, bowed with the weight of years, reached the city to join his ever faithful son. The occasion was one of great joy, and neighbors and friends were invited to the house of Rev. Mack Henson, where an elegant supper was spread in honor of the occasion. The joy was too great for the old gentleman, however, and about 11 o’clock he was stricken down with appoplexy and never rallied. He died Monday, and passed into the realms of infinite goodness, where sorrow will be known no more forever, and where parents and children and friends will never be separated. Rev. Mack Henson has the profound sympathy of all who know him, both white and black, in this his hour of bereavement.

A THIRTY YEARS' SEARCH. Mrs. Bashop's Pitiful Quest for Her Daughter, Patience. THEY WERE SEPARATED AT AN AUC- TION [AUCTION] SALE OF SLAVES. The Aged Mother Sought in Many States for Clues of Her Missing Child, but Without Avail—Now She Wants "The World's" Million Readers to Assist in Finding the Girl for Whom She Has Slaved So Long to Discover. For thirty-three years Mrs. Clara Bashop, of Morristown, N.J., has been searching for her lost daughter, and she is searching still. Tears have often flowed over the woes of Uncle Tom, but her story is sadder and more pathetic than the one Mrs. Stowe so feelingly told. Mrs. Bashop is tall and slender, and her sad face shows the refinement which the col- ored [colored] women in the aristocratic old families of the South so often possessed. At the Col- bath [Colbath] House, in Morristown, where she is in charge of one of the most important depart- ments [departments], she receives the implicit confidence and respect of her employers and of all others who know her. Mrs. Bashop belonged to Dick Christian, a wealthy country gentleman, who lived near Charles City Court House, Va. But like many other Virginia country gentlemen of those days, Mr. Christian became involved in debt and his slaves were placed on the block. Among them were Mrs. Bashop and her twelve-year-old daughter, Patience. "She was a bright little girl," said Mrs. Bashop yesterday, "and when we were taken into the market-place to be sold I prayed that wherever we might go we would go to- gether [together]." But her wish was not fulfilled. She was sold first, and Ben Davis, a professional negro trader, bought her. Then the little girl was placed on the block, and while the weeping mother stood by she was sold to a stranger. Mrs. Bashop fell on her knees be- fore [before] Davis and implored him to buy her daughter from the stranger. Though hardened by the constant sight of such scenes, Davis's heart was touched by the agony of the mother. He went to the stranger and offered to buy the little girl, but the latter refused to sell her, and went away a few hours later with his purchase. Mrs. Bashop has never seen her daughter since, but her own history since then shows how faithful is a mother's heart even though it beats in the humble bosom of a slave. Mrs. Bashop was carried to Charleston, S.C., and sold again. That was in 1859, and already the rumblings of the coming war were heard. Slaves changed masters rapidly then, and Mrs. Bashop was sold from one to another, passing into Alabama and Missis- sippi [Mississippi], being owned at Carrollton, in the latter State, when emancipation came. But during all her involuntary wanderings she had no thought but of her lost daughter, Patience. She begged each master to write back to Charles City Court-House, Va., and endeavor to discover something of her. Some com- plied [complied]. Others did not. But no news ever came of the missing girl. When she was free Mrs. Bashop began the search on her own account. For a long time she could not get away from Mississippi. She could earn but little money; not enough to take her back to Virginia, where her daugh- ter [daughter] had been sold, but she wrote letters and friends wrote others for her. At last she saved money enough to reach Virginia, but the visit added only to her sor- row [sorrow]. Her former master was dead and the war had swept away old landmarks and old recollections. No one knew anything of her daughter. She could not even ascertain the name of the man who bought her. But the mother's heart was faithful still. She sewed and she cooked and she did housework. She denied herself to save money for her search. She travelled through Virginia and she went into Kentucky. She visited South Car- olina [South Carolina] and the far South, and everywhere she hunted for her daughter. She put advertise- ments [advertisements] in the papers. She paid the colored preachers to state the case in their churches before their congregations, in order that one person might tell the story to another and thus spread it throughout the country. But still no news came of the lost girl. Though the years passed and the little Patience, if alive, was a woman now, the mother still hoped and worked. Then she thought that her daughter may have come to the North after the war and she renewed her search in New York. She found a home here, and for many months she hunted through the great city. She repeated her advertise- ments [advertisements] in the newspapers and asked the colored preachers here, as she had in the South, to help her, and still no news came of the lost girl. Though twenty years had now gone, the mother was as faithful to her child's memory as ever, and searched for her as eagerly and as patiently as she did when first she was free. Finally she settled at Morristown, and has for many years been employed at the Colbath House. There she intends to remain. But she is still searching for the lost girl. Yesterday, knowing the power of a great newspaper, she came to New York and asked THE WORLD to help her. She is an old woman now, and little Patience, if alive, is middle aged, but she still thinks that she will find her daughter. As the tears flowed down her face and dropped on the folds of her thick, black veil, she said: "I would know her the moment I saw her, and I will find her yet."

A TOUCHING SCENE.-The Newtown (Md.) Gazette says: The steamer Tangier last Satur- day [Saturday] landed at our wharf a negro woman who had been sold "way down South" some twenty years ago. She belonged to the Rush estate, and her father and mother, whose heads are sil- vered [silvered] with the frosts of many winters, have re- mained [remained] on the farm ever since. During the war they lost all traces of their daughter, and gave her up for lost. In the past few years, how- ever [however], communication was restored between pa- rents [parents] and child, and it has been the one grand hope of their declining years to once more see their daughter. Recently they received a letter from her at New Orleans, saying that she would soon start for this place. For the past few weeks every boat day the old couple could be seen in town peering with eager eyes at the faces of the passengers as the boats would reach the wharf. A shad of silent disappointment, and anon a tear, could be seen upon their wrinkled faces when the found she was not aboard. But last Saturday they were not dis- appointed [disappointed]. As the boat neared the wharf a buxom, comely mulatto waved a handkerchief at the old couple. Pen cannot describe the joy of the party when the woman finally found her- self [herself] in the arms of her parents. The old lady executed a half-shout, half-fandango, skip around, and the old man stood on his head, and the "hour of jubilee" was on that wharf for many minutes. It was one of the most touch- ing [touching] incidents we ever witnessed.

A. B. Dixson, Yazoo county, Miss., wishes to find his friends, Permelia Dedment, Geo. Dedment, Peter Dedment, Henry Dedment, Caroline Dedment and Frank Ded ment; also his grandfather, Austin Dedment. He left them in Ruther- ford county, Tenn., with Joseph Dedment, in 1869.

AFTER FORTY-FOUR YEARS Jeff Frierson and Mary Burt Are Reunited in Marriage. Special Dispatch to The American. SHELBYVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 24. -- A somewhat romantic marriage occurred in colored circles last night. The facts about it are these: Before the Civil War, and in slave times, Jeff Frierson, a slave belonging to the Friersons of this county, and Mary Burt, a slave belonging to Thomas Burt, lived together as man and wife under the old slave system of marriage. But a few years before the Civil War Mr. Burt sold Mary to an Arkansas man, who took her to that State, and there she has since resided, while Jeff still remained here. A few days ago, however, Mary returned here on a visit to some of her relatives. Soon after her arrival she happened to meet Jeff, her one-time husband, whom she thought was long since dead. At this meeting the old love was soon revived, and the two were reunited by legally constituted marriage bonds last night, Dr. Stephens, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, officiating. Both have hosts of friends among the white people, who are glad to see them reunited after a separation of forty-four years.

AFTER MANY DAYS, A Former Slave Hears from Her Old Home. A Separation of Thirty Years Having Elapsed. A Scrap of History. Years before the war of the rebellion, Wm. Eli Baxter, a lawyer and planter, lived in Hancock county, Georgia, not far from the town of Sparta. He own- ed [owned] 150 slaves, among the number, Fer- aby [Feraby], a full-blood African, who was the mother of three children, Amy, Will- iam [William] Eli, and George, who took the sir name of their owner, Baxter. When Amy was ten years of age, her young mistress married Dr. Carnell, and received Amy as a marriage pres- ent [present]. With her new master she lived four years, when, her young mistress dying, she was sold to Austin & Chism, slave dealers, for $700, and taken by them to Columbus, Georgia. She was then fourteen years of age, as near as she can recollect, and with oth- er [other] slaves that had been purchased was kept for two months in a slave pen, locked up to prevent their escape, and every day taken to the auction room in front of the building and offered for sale, and inspected by would-be pur- chasers [purchasers], as horses are examined by jockeys. At the expiration of this time she was sold for $900 to Hampton Smith, of Mobile, Alabama, with whom she lived three and a half years, and dur- ing [during] that time was married to Alfred Weiman, a slave of Smith's. They were during this time on a cotton plan- tation [plantation] in Wayne county, Miss. They did not get along well with the overseer, trouble ensued that resulted in her husband trying to kill the over- seer [overseer] with an axe. The row resulted in both of them being sold to a slave dri- ver [driver], the price paid for the woman being $1,000. They were taken to Decatur, Miss., and kept in a slave pen for two weeks, when they were sold to two different parties, but lived close together. Her new master, Walter Nimmax, was a merchant, and she lived with him but six months, when she and her mistress had some trouble that resulted in her mistress going for her with a rawhide, and being stood off by her slave with an axe. She ran away, and was secreted by her husband for three weeks in a large pile of cotton seed, into which she had made a tunnel, the mouth of which was filled up with cotton seeds. Her husband visited her at night and fur- nished [furnished] her food and water. During her concealment she was sold to David Gill for $1,100, and lived in his family for three months. Gill and family were piney wood white trash, had always been poor, could neither read or write, but by some streak of good luck became possessed o f some money, and to be aristocratic, invested a portion in a slave, the first they or their ancesters had ever owned. She says they were poor, ignorant white trash, and she told them she would run away, and fearing the threat would be carried out, she was sold to two gamblers for $600. These sports took her to Little Rock, Ark., and sold her to Albert Flowers for $1,000, with whom she staid two months and was then sold to John Quinlan, sheriff of Little Rock, for $1,200. With her new master she lived three and a half years, and there was an understanding between them, that she should never be whipped, but her owner seeing her talking to a free colored man one day, became so incensed that he gave her a severe whipping. Soon after this little matinee occur the rebellion came, and at last she heard that northern gun boats were in the river and would protect fugitives who reached them. She ran away, and by hiding during the day and traveling at night, she at last reached, and was taken on board the gun boat Tyler, that was lying at Island No. 3. The next day she was put on a trans- port [transport] and taken to Helena, where she was employed as cook for the officers of Company D, 26th Iowa Infantry, with whom she remained two weeks, and was then employed by Lieutenant Kirkpatrick, who took her to head- quarters [headquarters], where she was installed as cook for the officers of the company commanded by Captain C. V. Gardner, well known in the Hills, in which po- sition [position] she remained three years, and was at Little Rock most of the time, and close to her old master's home. At the close of the war she went to Omaha, and was again married in that city to Hannibal Morris, fifteen years ago, with whom she is now living in this city, arriving here in August, 1876. In this city they are known as Mr. and Mrs. Frenchy. During the many years of her wanderings, thirty-five at least, she never heard a word from her mother or brothers, but has been continually, for the last few years, at- tempting [attempting] to reach them with letters, in Texas, where she understood they had all removed. Two weeks ago a letter of inquiry was sent to "Minister of the Gospel, Sparta, Georgia," and yesterday she received a letter from her mother. She wrote that when she received the news, she felt so glad that she shouted all night. It is to be hoped that after so many years separation, the old slave mother and child may be reunited again.

AFTER MANY YEARS. AFFECTING MEETING OF TWO SISTERS. Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 19.--Forty years ago Julia and Emeline, two sisters, were slaves upon the plantation of a master by the name of Hall, in Kentucky. Emeline left her sister one night, and with a party of fugitives crossed the Ohio River at Cincinnati, and by means of the underground railroad made her escape to Michigan and thence to Battle Creek, where she has since resided, the wife of Joseph Skipwarth, now dead. In all these years she has never heard of her sister until recently, when by accident she learned that she was now Mrs. Julia Lyon, living on a farm near Troy, Ohio, in good circumstance. Yesterday Mrs. Lyon arrived in this city, and the meeting of the two sisters after forty years separation was very affecting. Mrs. Skipmarth is one of our most respected colored ladies, and the two happy sisters have received a number of calls to-day from our leading citizens. The reminiscenses of slavery days and their escape by the underground railway, out of the changes which have since taken place, are of the most interesting nature. (2)

AFTER MANY YEARS. Reunion of a Colored Man and His Wife, Who Were Separated During the Days of Slavery. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. YELLOW SPRINGS, OHIO, August 16.—In the year 1857, when the baneful curse of slavery existed in the South, the marrying and intermarriyngof colored people were not recognized by the forms of law, or regulated by statute. They met and "loved at first sight," and lived and cohabited together, as the beasts of the forest, without any legal preliminaries. The hero of this story is Harrison Bradley, who, in the darkest days of slavery, was a victim to its curses. In the year above-mentioned, he met a beautiful and fascinating girl, whom he loved at "first sight." She, of course, returned his affections, and they were married, as all slaves were in those days. Two years later, the happy couple were sold on the block and separated. After the war had closed, and slavery extinguished, Mr. Bradley came to Ohio, and, supposing that his former "sweet heart" was dead, married another woman. This second wife died a short time ago, and Mr. Bradley was again alone in the world. A few days ago his former wife, whom he had not seen since 1859, by accident came here, and to her great surprise found her former husband. It was a sad though happy meeting. Preparations were made immediately for their remarriage, and that happy result was consummated last night at the residence of Mr. Bradley in the presence of a large body of friends, both white and colored. Mr. Bradley is in very good circumstances and is respected by all, and it is hoped that the aged couple, after so many years of hardships and separation, may yet live a long, happy and prosperous life.

After thirty years' separation Hiram Jefferson and his son Thomas are reunited in Janesville. The father became separ- ated [separated] from his family just after the capture of Fort Donelson, he being a slave on a plantation near the fort.

AFTER THIRTY-TWO YEARS. JACKSONVILLE, Ill. Anderson Banks has returned from Lincoln, Neb., where he was just finished an eight weeks’ visit with his newly found brother In 1857, four years before the opening of the civil war, the father and mother of Mr. Banks, with their twelve children, were the property of Mr. Charles Yancy, a planter who lived near Charlottesville, Va. In that year the owner divided a number of his slaves among his five children, Anderson fell to the lot of a Mr. Taliaferro, who had married one of the Yancys. Madison Banks, another brother, became the property of Dr. Yan- cy [Yancy]. Both Dr. Yancy and Mr. Taliaferro removed to Missouri. One of the sisters went to Macon, Ga., two brothers were sent no one knows where and the rest of the family remained in the old domin- ion [dominion]. Since Taliaferro and Dr. Yancy had gone to different parts of Missouri, An- derson [Anderson] lost sight and knowledge of all except those in Virginia. The war passed, year after year rolled in, but he heard nothing from the lost members of the family whom the institution of slavery had swallowed up. He came to Jacksonville and lived here a number of years. A few weeks ago Wm. Mallory saw upon the street of Lincoln, Nebraska, a man who bore a marked resemblance to his friend in Jacksonville. He stopped the stranger and told him of the resem- blance [resemblance] he had noted. The man remarked that his name was Banks and said that Andy was probably a brother. A corre- spondence [correspondence] ensued which brought out the facts and open the way to the visit which Mr. Banks has just ended. The man was his lost brother, Madison, from whom he has been separated thirty-two years. Madison Banks has prospered in his western home and Attorney W. J. Bryan, declares him to be worth a cool $50,000. The reunion of the brothers was a happy one.

AFTER TWENTY-NINE YEARS A Mother and Daughter are Reunited. The Daughter a Clarksburg Woman who Was Sold During Slavery Days. Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer. FINDLAY, O., April 10.-A remarkable reunion of mother and daughter who had been cruelly torn from each other at the slave block in 1863 has just taken place in this city. The mother's name is Mrs. Anna Mollie Wright, an aged col- ored [colored] woman of Findlay, and the daugh- ter [daughter] is Mrs. Anna Freedman, of Clarks- burg [Clarksburg], W. Va. For twenty-nine years the mother has been searching for her missing daughter. She was found through a chance remark of a colored man from Clarksburg, W. Va., who said that Mrs. Freedman, of his town, had been writing letters to Dover, Tenn., where she had been sold with her family when a little girl. Mrs. Wright thought this was strange and wrote to a colored minister in Clarksburg. The letter was read in the church and led to the reunion of mother and daughter.

AFTER YEARS OF SEARCH. A Former Slave Finds His Mother, and Proves His Identity by a Strange Mark. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. John Easton, a colored fireman at the Nordyke-Marmon Works, has been for more than twenty years trying to find his mother, and about two weeks ago got traces of her whereabouts. They were separated when he was 7 years old, he having been sold by their master, William Hobbston, in Kentucky, to Dr. Henderson of Osceola, Ark. When the war came on Easton ran away and fell into the care of soldiers. After the war he came to Indiana and worked for years at Rushville. He then removed to Indianapolis, working for three years at the stockyards. This was the story Easton told C. G. Kumler, foreman at the Nordyke-Marmon Works. As to the name of the town in Kentucky where Hobbston lived, all Easton could say was that it was something like Lovelace. Kumler became interested in the man’s search and learned that there was a Lovelaceville in Kentucky. He also got information that V. S. Lovelace lived there. Writing to him, he soon received a reply, in which Lovelace said he had been a resident there for fifty years, and knew many persons whom Easton had mentioned. Among those was Duke Robertson, who still remained on his old plantation on the south side of Mayfield Creek. Kumler asked Easton if he remembered the creek. “Yes.” replied Easton. “I can remember that. My mother used to wash the clothes in a creek and dry them on the bank, and I used to go swimming in it.” “What was the named of it?” “I can’t remember.” “If I told you could you remember it?” “Yes, I think I could; but am not sure.” “Well, was it Mayfield Creek?” “Yes, sir; that was it, and it had a bend in it called Walnut Bend, where I used to fish. Kumler then wrote again to Lovelace, inquiring about Clara Hobbston, as John called his mother. The answer of Mr. Lovelace was: “The woman you seek was Clara Clounch. Clara’s husband was and is William Hobbs, not Hobbston. She and Bill are both alive yet and live in Paducah, Ky. They had hard times during the war. They were living a mile from this place, peaceable, law-abiding citizens, but were awakened in the dead of night by bushwhackers. Bill was shot in his cabin and made a cripple for the balance of his life.” These letters from his old home aroused great hope in Easton’s breast. He could hardly wait for a letter to his mother to reach Paducah, and wanted to go immediately to her. Kumler, however, advised patience, and asked Easton if he had any particular mark by which he could be identified. “Yes, sir,” he said, “I was born with two thumbs, and one was cut away when I was about six weeks old. You can see the scar on my hand where it was.” It was by this scar the mother identified her son, who is with her in Paducah.

AGED EX-SLAVE. Left a Fortune of $50,000 by His Former Master. Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept 29. --Robert Busby, an old ex-slave, was today advised by a Charleston (S. C.) lawyer that his former master, Bradford North, who died four years ago, has left him an inheritance of $50,000. The old planter left an immense estate, and his fondness for Busby, who had been his slave for 33 years, led him to remember him in his will. Ever since the death of North the executors of his estate have been searching for Busby. Advertisements have appeared in all the principal newspapers, making inquiries for his whereabouts. One of these was recently seen by a friend of the old ex-slave and he was advised of his good fortune. Busby will leave at once for Charleston to secure his inheritance. He is 60 years old.--Cincinnati Enquirer.

An Old Slave Marriage. The Parties to It United After Thirty-Five Years' Separation. From the Globe Democrat. An instance almost strange as fiction itself occurred in the marriage license department at the Recorder's office yesterday. It appears that about fifteen years previous to the late civil war a colored man, who now gives the name of Anthony Edwards, and who was then married after the custom of those times, resided with his master in Pike County, Mo. From some cause not known to Edwards his master sold him to a Southern planter, but retained possession of his wife and his former master and child. After the war he remarried, as did also his wife. His second wife dying, he drifted to St. Louis several years ago, and by a peculiar coincidence his wife, having lost her second husband, also came to the city, the daughter by the Pike County or slave marriage accompanying her. The daughter, having received some intimation that her father was in St. Louis, made indefatigable efforts to find him, and after about three years' search succeeded in locating him in Edwardsville. The result was a meeting between her father and mother, after separation of over thirty-five years. The sequel of this meeting was the appearance at the Recorder's office yesterday of the aged couple for the purpose of obtaining a marriage license. They gave their names as Anthony Edwards, aged 79 years, and Lucinda Gibson, aged 78 years. They looked remarkably vigorous and hearty, considering their ages, and still have before them a lease to several more years of life. The daughter was present, and appeared overjoyed at the result of her endeavors.

DO YOU KNOW THEM A Fortune for the Relatives SAN FRANCISCO, Cali., Dec 30 '97, EDITOR The Planet: Will you insert a notice in your paper and assist in trying to find the relatives of John S Capron, who left Virginia during the Mexican war with Major [undecipherable]. They came west and were for years in Eureka Nevada where he accumulated a large fortune. In year seventy eight or nine he married a white woman with several children. Some years after she died and last June he died by committing suicide and the children are trying to claim all of the property. He willed his lawyer one hundred thousand dollars, so he and the step children are fighting in the court over the estate. It is said that his mother was a colored woman and his father white. He never denied being colored though socially and on business he was with the whites. He was a cook, but after he accumulated some money he went into Real Estate business. His description is auburn hair a little curly or reddish, sandy complexion very freckled and about five feet nine or ten inches tall. I think if the State papers would insert an item of inquiry and the pastors publish it from the pulpit, it might benefit some of this relatives. I was called in the case, but could not swear to his being [undecipherable] as I did not know any of his people. Attend to this immediately as the case will, I think go to the jury next week, but whichever side is defeated I think they will appeal. Respectfully Mrs WILLIAM MARTIN

EDITORIALS. REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE Henry Tolliver, a leading citi- zen [citizen], living at 1413 Fremont street is about to start on a trip to Leavenworth, Kans., to visit his aged father, whom he has not seen since he was sold on the slave block over a half century ago, at the age of 9 years. The father is a man of remarkable age and according to a son who recently visited here, has seen 127 summers. Henry Tolliver, when but a boy of 9, was sold on a southern auct- ion [auction] block in Davis County, Mis- souri [Missouri]. This was the last he saw of his parent. He ran away from his master about the time of the outbreak of the war and came to Des Moines. He enlisted in the sixteenth United States colored infantry, served through the war and then came back to Des Moines and has since lived here. He is now a man of 64 years and the story of how he learned again of the whereabouts of his father reads like a romance. A short time ago a colored man —a tramp—came to Mr. Tolli- ver’s [Tolliver's] home on Fremont street. Mrs. Tolliver gave him some- thing [something] to eat. The visitor asked her name. Mrs. Tolliver told him. He said he knew an old man of that name living at Leavenworth and that he was known as Alfred Tolliver. Mrs. Tolliver said at once this was the name of her husband’s father. Mr. Tolliver was working south of the river at the time. Mrs. Tolliver kept the stranger until her husband returned, and the latter, after making minute in- quiries [inquiries], was assured he had at last discovered the whereabouts of his father. He wrote to Leav- enworth [Leavenworth] for confirmation and re- ceived [received] a reply that removed all doubt on the subject. Early this week Mr. Tolliver was visited by his brother Alex- ander [Alexander] of Tonganoxie, Kans. The two brothers had not met since 1862. From his brother Mr. Tol- liver [Tolliver] learned that his father was in good health and was able to walk about. He has planned to leave for Levenworth in a short time and there will doubtless be a family reunion well worth wit- nessing [witnessing]. While Alexander Tolliver was here this week the two brothers called on Capt. Amos Brandt at the state house and told him their remarkable story. Mr. Henry Tolliver had a son in Captain Brandt’s company of colored taoops in the Spanish-American war.

EX-SLAVE ALMOST ONE HUNDRED Never Reunited to Wife and Child Sold on the Block. POWERS, MICH.-Solomon Terry, an ex-slave and well-known character, who was almost 100 yeas old, was found near the Cedar River Land company's camp, No. 8. sitting near a logging road. He was taken to the camp and died on Mon- day from a stroke of paralysis. He was born in Tennessee and was a slave for about ten years. He was mar- ried when a young man and one child re- sulted from the union. Later he was force to witness the sale of his wife and child. The wife was bought by one mas- ter and the child by another, and the home was broken up, and Terry never saw or heard of either since.

EX-SLAVES MARRIED. Two Old Darkies United After a Separation of Twenty-Five Years. The Groom Had But Ninety Cents To Pay Magistrate Camp For His Services. Two ex-slaves who had not seen each other for twenty-five years, were married yesterday by Magistrate B. F. Camp at his office in Court place. The principals were John Thompson, aged eighty-five years, and Kitty Owens, aged seventy. Before the late war both were slaves in the family of Mr. George Girding, who owned a large plantation in Morgan county, Tennessee. At that time Thompson was looked upon as an old man, while the woman was called ‘mammy’ by the children in the family. After the two slaves were made free by the war they went out in different directions to make a livelihood. The man decided to follow the river, and he secured a place in the dining-room of a steamboat. He continued at this until several months ago, when he retired. Thompson had saved enough money to keep him in comfort the rest of his days. He looked up some of his children, now living in Louisville, but found that they did not appear to take any interest in their old father, not seeming to care whether he was alive or dead. It was while visiting his children that the old man met Kitty Owens. They did not know each other at first, and it was only after they had compared notes that the two recognized each other. A marriage was shortly arranged between the two. Yesterday they went to the County Clerk’s office together, where a license was secured. The two old people were accompanied to Magistrate Camp’s office by a curious crowd. Here the ceremony was performed. Thompson had been married three times, and his companion only one time less. As the old couple was leaving the office Magistrate Camp remembered then that his fee had been overlooked. “Lor! Yo’ Honah, I hasn’t got any mo’ money,” said the old man. The facial expression of the old darky underwent a complete change as he fumbled in his pockets. Finally, Thompson got a small amount of change out of his many pockets. This was given over to the Magistrate, who found it amounted to a total of ninety cents. The old man explained that he had divided his savings so they would last until he was one hundred years old. He took only one of these piles weekly, never touching the rest until the next week. The bridegroom said that he hoped to save enough out of the next few weeks’ allotment to pay the balance of $1.10 to the Magistrate. The old man and his bride were then allowed to depart happily for their home.

FAUST IS DEAD. A short time ago the postoffice department at Washington wrote Postmaster Atkinson to know if Absolom

Faust still resided in St. Joseph. No such person could be found, but the department was not satisfied and wrote back stating that he was last heard of in this city. Information was wanted regarding some slaves he formerly owned. An advertisement was inserted in The Daily Gazette, and "Doc" Daniels called on Postmaster Atkinson. He said Faust was his father-in-law and died in 1875.

FINDS LONG LOST SON (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) "It seems like I've seen her somewhere," he replied, "but I can't exactly place her." The situation was becoming too strained for even the old soldier and he blurted out: "She's your mother, man." In an instant they were clasped in each other's arms. J. E. Strawn, sergeant major of the One Hundred and Thirtieth Illinois volunteers, is the man who has devoted much of his time for a year to tracing the mother, and he feels well repaid for all his efforts. He has lived in Chicago and its environs since 1863 and is now a resident of Wheaton, Ill

FINDS LONG LOST SON DOWEN YOUNG MEETS HIS MOTHER AFTER 36 YEARS A Mother Sold and Separated From her Family in 1861, Found and Presented to her Son as a Christmas gift in 1897. The happiest Christmas in all the great city of Chicago was, at the modest home of Dowen Young, No. 3142 Fifth avenue. It was a reunion of a mother and son torn apart by the cruel conditions of slavery laws thirty-three years ago. The soldier, who through the circumstances of war had carried the child on his saddle away from its birthplace and the chief factor in bringing the man and his mother together after a separation of a third of a century, stood by and wept in sympathy. It was a surprise to the son, and the aged woman had traveled night and day to aid their benefactor in carrying out his plan of a "Christmas gift of a mother," long believed by him to be dead. She brought him a simple present, a few magnolias, symbolic of the South, where she had suffered so much, but which she still loved. Young's Romantic Career Dowen Young, the colored man who fondled the withered hand of his mother as she lay upon a sofa, too much exhausted to stand, and too happy to sleep, is a doorkeeper at the main entrance to the stock exchange, where he has been for four years. He is now about 48 years of age, and married, and he had not heard from any member of his family since he was eight years old, though for years he tried to get some trace of his mother; but, hearing she was dead some years ago, he gave up hope, and when his soldier friend, who had never lost track of him, told him he would some day help him find her, it was without hope that he listened and thanked him. The incidents in the life of the three chief figures in this drama are a story breathing of the cruelties of slavery, the inhumanity of men, the circumstances of war, the abiding affection between a [indecipherable] mother and her son, and the stranger, but true friendship of a generous man for a little slave to whom he gave freedom. When the civil war broke out Margaret Young, a negro woman, and her three children lived on the Arthur estate in Clay county, Missouri, near the town of Liberty. They were all slaves of John Arthur. Her husband, Jesse Young, had died a few years before. He belonged to Mrs. Arthur, whose maiden name was Young, and was one of the many human chattels that made up her dower. Margaret had been the slave of a neighboring planter, Adam Pence, and she was known as Margaret Pence. In 1854 John Arthur bought her from Pence, and she was married to Jesse Young. They had three children, Dowen, Walter, and Susie. In 1861 it became apparent to the slave owners of the Missouri counties bordering on the Kansas line that, in order to save the value of their slaves, they must sell them off to the traders who supplied the Southern markets. Many of the negroes had run away, being assisted in escaping by one Fred Fritzlein, a mulatto. His particular field of operations was the Arthur and adjoining plantations. John Arthur therefore sought for and found a purchaser for his able-bodied men and women slaves in one Jim Adams, a noted dealer in negroes. Margaret had longed and hoped for freedom. Many of her fellow servants had made their escape, but she could not desert her little ones, not realizing that she might at any time be forced to separate from them, and doomed to a life of toil in the Southern cotton fields. Mother and Children Separated. Margaret was sold to the slave trade, and separated from her children, the eldest 8 years, and the youngest a girl 3 years of age. "And how we cried, mother," said the oldest son to her yesterday, "when they took you away." She was joined to the slave gang, chained and guarded to prevent their escape, which started by a circuitous route to avoid Union soldiers to the South. After much roundabout traveling, Adams reached Arkansas, and was soon inside the Confederate lines, where he was perfectly safe. From there he hurried on by direct route to New Orleans, which was the best slave market. From the block in the slave pens of that city he sold his gang. Margaret was among them, and described in the catalogue as follows: Margaret: prime: Christian: 26 She was sold to Dr. Walter Mathews for $1,800. It was the value slave dealers placed upon Christian slaves and so advertising them moved Whittier to say: A Christian! going: gone! Who bids for God's own image? for his grace Which that poor victim of the market-place Hath in her suffering won? Boys Join Northern Army. After the sale of the mother the children were placed with an old auntie, and as soon as they were strong enough put to work in the hemp and corn fields. It was while the two boys were so employed that Colonel Jennison, the famous Kansas Jayhawker, rider and raider and a terror to all the border slave-owners, and a company of troopers made one of their periodical forays into Clay county and, reaching the Arthur plantation, gathered in a few thoroughbred horses and five boys, carrying them off to the steamboat landing near by. The women of the Arthur household followed, and at the landing pleaded with the boys to return, but freedom was now very plainly in sight for them, and they refused. The boat was steaming up stream and Dowen and Walter Young met his friend and benefactor, who was a sergeant major of the regiment to which the troopers belonged. After they arrived at Fort Leavenworth the boys attached themselves to an Illinois regiment, and soon became very useful. In this same summer of '64 Price, the Confederate general, planned his last raid into Missouri, entering the state below Pilot-Knob, and menacing St. Louis. The Illinois regiment was ordered to that point, and later down the Iron Mountain road. The little negro boys made the campaign, and remained with the regiment until it was mustered out at Camp Butler, Springfield, Ill. One of the boys, Walter, went to Oquawka, Ill., with Captain John Wilson, but from there all trace of him has been lost. Came to Chicago in '68 Dowen was taken from Springfield to Ottawa, Ill., where he was provided with a home in the family of the late John H. Manley. In 1868 he came to this city, and has lived here ever since. He has always had employment, being a quiet, sober, industrious man. Many years ago he identified himself with the Bethel African M. E. Church. He also belongs to the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Western Star lodge, No. 1,443. He was for three years janitor of the Jones school on Plymouth place, and twelve years behind the oyster bar in the restaurant of the old Burke's European hotel. Susan, the sister, remained with the Arthur family for some time after they removed to Kansas City. She is now 41 years of age, and until this year has never heard from any member of her family, but through the same benefactor, she will soon see her now aged mother again. After the mother had been sold, she remained in New Orleans about two years, when she was taken to Mobile, Ala. where she has lived ever since. For years she has longed for some word from home, from the old place, and the three little children that she had left there. She could not read nor write, for it had been a crime to teach a slave to read even the Bible. She married again, and the new cares of a growing family helped the years to slip away. Many Christmas days have come and gone since she, then a young woman, commenced her new life in the South. Mature womanhood came, and then age, and the old, old times and her former home in Missouri seemed like a dream to her. A few weeks ago the family by whom she is occasionally employed read in their evening paper that information of a person answering her description was wanted. She had the inquiry answered, was sent for, and proved to be the long-lost Margaret Young, mother of Dowen, Walker, and Susie Young. Mother and Son Meet. Thursday last at midnight Mrs. Nelson, for that is now her name, was put aboard the north-bound train in Mobile, Ala. She was going to visit her son Dowen in Chicago, and then after a few weeks to journey on to Kansas City, to visit her daughter, Mrs. Susan Reeves, and her brothers, who were sold about the same time, but returned North at the close of the war. She had a letter from the general agent of the Mobile and Ohio railroad at Mobile, addressed to conductors and porters, which insured her every attention. She reached Chicago at noon and was met by her benefactor, who took her immediately to her son's home. Dowen Young had been apprised of his friend's intention to visit him Christmas day, and when he saw him from his window walking toward the house he did not take much notice of the tall colored woman behind him. She followed into the room. "Dowen, do you know this woman?" asked his friend. (Continued on 2nd. Page)

FINDS SISTER AFTER YEARS. To meet a sister after a separation of thirty-nine years is the recent experience of Henry Wilson, the colored butler who has been at the executive mansion through the administrations of Governors Ogles-by, Altgeld, Tanner and Yates. Wilson was born a slave in Missouri in 1855 and was held with his mother for more than a year after the emancipation proclama-tion of 1863. In 1864 he and his mother ran away, crossing over to Illinois and leaving a younger sister behind. At various times in the last twenty years Wilson has heard of his sister, but was never certain of her whereabouts until last week he received a letter from her. She is now Mrs. Hattie Webb. Wil-son and his wife went to St. Louis last Saturday and remained over Sunday, this being the first meeting since 1864. Mrs. Webb found her brother through friends who knew of his services at the man-sion. Their mother died in 1885 while laundress to Mrs. Oglesby.

First Ad: BOSTON. INFORMATION WANTED of the whereabouts of our father. LEWIS THOMAS, now said to be Rev. Lewis Hudson, pastor of a Baptist Church in Mississippi. He was formerly owned by a man named Shepard Miller, and was sold into the far South. Any one knowing where he may be found will kindly inform May Frances Thomas and Walter Thomas, at No. 9 Kirkland street, Boston, Mass, jan8 3m Second Ad: May Frances Thomas and Walter Thomas of 9 Kirkland street, this city [Boston, MA], who, some time ago, advertised in THE FREEMAN for their father, formerly Lewis Thomas, now said to be Rev. Lewis Hudson, found him recently through the advertisement. This is but a proof of the value of THE FREEMAN as an advertising medium.

Five sisters of us belonged to Mrs. Clark, a widow woman, living six miles from Liberty, Bradford Co., Virginia. Three of us, Martha, Isa- bella, and Elizabeth, were sold to her brother, Mr. Ironton, who brought us to Mississippi, where we now live.

For the Nashville Union. Information Wanted. On a recent visit to Washington City, I became acquainted with a colored Baptist minister by the name of Albert Boulden, and became somewhat interested in his history. He and his old wife are there, getting along very pleasantly; but greatly distressed about their children, ten in number, all sold from them a good many years ago. They were taken from Virginia to Alabama, and sold to two men, Robert Peoples and Robert Bibbs. It would be a great satisfaction to hear from them if they are yet in the land of the living. It was thought by interested parties in Washington that a brief statement and the names of the children, published in a Nashville paper, might be the means of identifying at least some of them. Will you please give this an insertion in your paper. The names of the children are as follows: James Boulden, Julias Boulden, Luke Boulden, Ann Boulden, Catharine Boulden, Joana Boulden, Robert Boulden, Louisa Boulden, Agnes Boulden, and Albert Boulden. All other papers in the south that are willing to publish the above are requested to do so. Any information respecting any of the above named children may be addressed to Rev. Albert Boulden, No. 665, L Street, Washington, D.C., or to Rev. T.P. Childs, Troy, Miami Co, O. Very respectfully, T. P. Childs, Troy, O., March 12, 1865.

FORMER SLAVE BROTHERS MEET Nathan Branch of Evanston Finds by Chance Lee, from Whom He Was Parted 66 Years Ago. After a separation of sixty-six years Nathan Branch, the oldest colored man in Evanston, will meet his brother Lee of Macon, Ga. The last sight they had of each other was in an auctioneer’s room on a plantation in Chesterfield County, Va., when they were offered for sale. It is by the merest chance that they will meet again. C. H. Callum, a real estate man at 528 Davis street, Evanston. spent last winter in the South, and at Macon saw a man whom he supposed was Nathan Branch. The man was bent with age. Callum was surprised to find that he was a brother of Nathan. The Evanston man told Lee Branch of Nathan, of another brother, Jordan, and what he knew of the family history, and Lee recognized many of the facts as tallying with dim memories of his boyhood days. When Callum arrived in Evanston a few days ago he told Nathan of the incident, and letters were immediately sent to Macon and replies are expected next week. There were four boys in the Branch family, and all were born in Chesterfield County. Lee, born in 1815, was the oldest. Robert, the next, died in Tennessee last fall. Nathan and Jordan, who live in Evanston, are over 70. In 1833 their master died and they were auctioned off. The mother, Esther, with Robert, Nathan, and Jordan, were sold into Kentucky, while all trace of the father and Lee was lost. When Nathan was 17 he was sold again, and, with his brother Robert, was carried to Tennessee. Later he was taken back to Kentucky. The war gave Branch a chance to escape, and he fled to Columbus, Ky., where he became a roustabout with Company D of the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Illinois until it was mustered out in Chicago, when he went to work at the Sherman House. Three years later he moved to Evanston. He is the messenger of the postoffice and lives at 1705 Lake street. Ten years ago he induced his bother Jordan to come to Evanston. Branch is a member of the Colored Baptist Church.

FORMER SLAVES JOIN FORTUNES After Separation of Forty- Five Years They Meet by Chance at Fresno and Wed BOTH MARRIED BEFORE Each Had Lost a Loved One and They Quickly Decide to Finish Life Together Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, July 22.---After a separa- tion [separation] of forty-five years George Harris and Mary J. Brooks, who were slaves upon the same plantation, met in Fres- no [Fresno] yesterday, and each having lost a loved one they decided to finish life to- gether [together], as they had once planned. They had lived on an old plantation in the State of Louisiana and were lovers when, in 1859, Harris was sold to a planter living in Tennessee. They both married in after years. Harris is the father of seventeen chil- dren [children], while the woman is the proud mother of fourteen. By chance they met yesterday, and to-day went to Rev. Father McCarty of St. John's Catholic Church and were married. Mrs. Harris has lived most of her life in Chicago, coming to Fresno on a visit to rela- tives [relatives]. Her old sweetheart is a pioneer resident of this city. Harris is 61 years old and she is 60. The couple will finish their days in Fresno County at Harris' home, north of town, where the large family of thirty-one will be raised in old planta- tion [plantation] style.

FOUND AT LAST. A former Slave, Now in Ohio, Hears From His Long-Lost Mother. SPRINGFIELD, O., March 11, - After 40 years' separation William H. Todd, an ex-slave at Washington Court House, Fayette county, has discovered the whereabouts of his mother, now 100 years old, living at Macon, GA., through a letter received last night. Twelve years prior to the war they were sold to different masters and each received the master's name who made the purchase. Todd and one of his brothers belonged during the war to the Twenty-second Colored Union Infantry and at the battle of Deep Bottom, VA., his brother lost his life. There were 14 brothers and all of them were soldiers in the Union army; 12 of them fought in the Fort Pillow massacre, eight being killed after the fort had surrendered and rebels had taken possession of it. Four escaped and are living to-day near the scene of their childhood, where their aged mother and four of "Gov- ernor [Governor]" Todd's children by his first wife are liv- ing [living]. The letter gives Todd intense delight. He is about 70 years of age and quite poor. An effort is on foot to raise money enough to send him to his native State, where he may see his mother before she dies. He has been writing to people in the South for many years concerning the whereabouts of his mother and children, and at last he is a happy man. He was assisted in the search for her by the son of his old master, Mr. Todd.

FOUND HER AGED MOTHER Reunion After Separation During Slavery Days Special to The Inquirer. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 21.— Mrs. Louisa Fry, an aged colored woman of Pleasantville, has just found her moth- er [mother], whom she has not seen since the slaves on a plantation near Charlottesburg, Va., were liberated at the close of the Civil War. The mother of Mrs. Fry claims to be 106 years old. Mrs. Fry is past 60, but both women are said to have recog- nized [recognized] each other at once when they met a short time ago in Philadelphia. Mrs. Fry is an industrious, hardworking woman and comes to Atlantic City daily to do housework. It was while working at a home in Atlantic City that she first learned of an old colored woman in Phil- adelphia [Philadelphia], who claimed to come from the same Virginia village in which Mrs. Fry was born. More with a desire to talk over old times with a townswoman than from any hope of seeing her mother again, Mrs. Fry went to Philadelphia and sought out "Aunty" Strong, who proved to be the parent whom she had not seen since the close of the war.

FOUND HIS MOTHER John Williams Visits His Mother After an Absence of 32 Years. The Knoxville Tribune of yesterday contains a long account (which was printed as original in the Gazette this morning) of the re-union of a mother and son, who had not seen each other for thirty-two years. The people were colored, the mother's name being Har- riet [Harriet] Blackwell, and that of the son John Williams, he having taken the name of his master, a Mississippi planter, to whom he was sold when a boy. Williams learned of his mother's whereabouts from a colored man who was in Knox- ville [Knoxville] a few days ago, and, the Tribune says, came to Asheville, where his mother lives, on Christmas day. The Tribune says in closing the story: "John went alone into the house, and his mother, upon seeing him, rushed into his arms with many exclamations of joy. He remained in Asheville until Tuesday. A brother of John who was sold at the same time he was has never been heard from since he left the Blackwell planta- tion [plantation]." Williams also met in Knoxville a brother whom he had not seen since he left home, and from him learned that their mother was living.

John Jones, the colored man whorecently sought the aid of the New York police in find- ing his mother, Parthenia Jones, from whom he was separated during the early days of the war, has been notified of the success of the search.The story he told was printed in the newspapers several days ago and was read by Mrs. Cecilla Jones, the wife of Parthenia's younger son, William Anderson Jones, of 345 West Forty-fifth street. William Jones is a porter on the New York Central Railroad. He returned home yesterday morning and his wife told him what she had read about his alleged brother's efforts to find his mother. The aged woman, who was formerly a slave, is now holding revival meetings at Riverhead Park, L. I., among the colored population there, and has not been informed of the existence of a man who claims to be her son. John lives in Washington. William Jones is skeptical about the story he tells, and intends to put him to a severe test. If he stands it satisfactorily a day will then be set for the family reunion here. Besides her two sons Mrs. Jones has two daughters, Martha Grey, who lives in Dan- ville, Va., and is the mother of ex-Mayor Wesley H. Jones of Danville, and Cornelia Jones of this city.

gray haired man. “Of course neither of us knew the other," says the Rev. Mr. Watson. "When I knew Gannon in war times he was a square shouldered young man, with a long black mustache and bushy black hair. Half a century lat- er [later] I found him an old man, little re- sembling [resembling] his former self. But the old friendship was still there. He seemed mighty glad to see me, and for two hours we talked over old times. Then later he came to my house and we sat up all night long talking old times." Reminiscently in his letter Gannon said: "Again I recall an incident–– the negro boy who wandered into camp, a fugitive from slavery, meek, humble, seeking protection. My boys in blue treated him with kindness and sympathy and I soon realized his faithful services; honest, truthful, and diligent, employing his leisure mo- ments [moments] in the efforts to learn to read that he might be helpful to his fel- low [fellow] free men. Now how well he has succeeded. From an humble servant to a devoted servant of the Lord and zealous in the uplift of his people." Born in Lynchburg, Va., Watson was sold when a baby with his moth- er [mother] to Robert Barnett, Bowling Green, Pike county, Missouri.

HUNTING HER CHILD. A Former Slave Still in Search of Her Lost Daughter. New York, Oct. 1. - For thirty three years Mrs. Clara Bashop of Morristown, N. J., has been searching for her lost daughter, and she is searching still. Tears have often flowed over the woes of Uncle Tom, but her story is sadder and more pathetic than the one Mrs. Stowe so feelingly told. Mrs. Bashop is tall and slender, and her sad face shows the re- finement which the colored women in the aristocratic old families of the South so often possessed. At the Colbath House, in Morris- town, she is in charge of one of the most important departments. Mrs. Bashop belonged to Dick Christian, a wealthy country gentlemen who lived near Charles City Court-house, Va. Mr. Christian became involved in debt and his slaves were placed on the block. Among them were Mrs. Bashop and her 12-year-old daughter Patience. "She was a bright little girl," said Mrs. Bashop yesterday, "and when we were taken into the market-place to be sold I prayed that wherever we might go we would go together." But her wish was not to be fulfilled. She was sold first and Ben Davis, a professional negro trader, bought her. The little girl was sold to a stranger. Mrs. Bashop fell on her knees before Davis and implored him to buy her daughter from the stranger. Though hardened by the con- stant sight of such scenes, Davis' heart was touched by the agony of the mother. He went to the stranger and offered to buy the little girl but the latter refused to sell her and went away a few hours later with his purchase. Mrs. Bashop has never seen her daughter since but her own history since then shows how faithful is a mother's heart even though it beats in the humble bosom of a slave. Mrs. Bashop was carried to Charlestown, S.C., and sold again. That was in 1859, and already the rumblings of the coming war were heard. Slaves changed masters rapidly then, and Mrs. Bashop was sold from one to another, passing into Alabama and Mississippi, being owned at Carrollton in the latter state when emancipation came. But during all her involuntary wanderings she had no thought but of her lost daughter, Patience. She begged each master to write back to Charles City Court-house, Va., and endeavor to discover something of her. Some complied, others did not, but no news ever came of the missing girl. When she was free Mrs. Bashop began the search on her own account. For a long time she could not away from Mississippi. She could earn but little money; not enough to take her back to Virginia, where her daughter had been sold, but she wrote letters and friends wrote others for her. At last she saved money enough to reach Virginia, but the visit increased only her sorrow. Her former master was dead and the war had swept away old landmarks and old recollections. No one knew anything of her daughter, she could not learn the name of the man who bought her, but the mother's heart was faithful still. She sewed and she cooked and she did housework. She denied herself to save money for her search. She traveled through Virginia and she went through Kentucky. She visited South Carolina and the far South, and everywhere she hunted for her daughter. She put advertisements in the papers; she paid the colored preachers to state the case in their churches before their congregations, in order that one person might tell the story to another, and thus spread it through the country, but still no news came of the lost girl. [undecipherable sentence] [undecipherable] why not? Did you ever see a mouth that resembled an oyster more than hers?" might have came to the North after the war and she renewed her search in New York. She found a home here and for many months she hunted through the great city. She repeated her advertisements in the newspapers and she asked the colored preachers here as she had in the South to help her and still no news came of the lost girl. Though twenty years had now gone the mother was as faithful to her child's memory as ever and searched for her as eagerly and as patiently as she did when first she was free. Finally she settled at Morristown and has for many years been employed at the Colbath House There she intends to remain, but she is still searching for the lost girl.

Kitty Presnell would like to know the whereabouts of her chil- dren [children] whom she was parted from be- fore [before] the emancipation. They were separated from her at Flat Lake, La. We were then living with Jesse Paxton. I was sold to Erwin Williams. There I was parted from my three children, viz: Davie, Mariah and Catherine. I have learned since that they were car- ried [carried] to the State of Arkansas and there sold across the river from Little Rock. I also learn that Jesse Paxton lived in Little Rock, Ark. I now go by the name of Kitty Presnell. Address me at Navasota, Texas.

LAST SAW SON WHEN HE WAS SOLD. Aged Negro of East Boston Advertising for News of Brothers and Son, Who Were Sold Before the War. In one of the weekly papers devoted to the interests of the colored people, and published widely throughout the country as a religious paper, recently appeared a peculiar advertisement, which reads substantially as follows: INFORMATION WANTED of my brothers Washington, James, Joseph, Henry and Lafay- ette [Lafayette] Bond, who were the sons of Moses and Lina Bond, and brothers of Milla Bond, who later be- came [became] Milla Dawsey. All were born in the fam- ily [family] of Daniel Kent, Maryland. INFORMATION WANTED of John Wesley Dorsey, born of Low Maller, Maryland, sold at 6 years from his parents, Milla and Nelson Daw- sey [Dawsey]. Any information concerning tlie above will gladly be received by Mrs MILLA DAWSEY, 262 Lexington st, East Boston. Mrs. Dawsey is trying to find her long separated brothers and son. The adver-tisement [advertisement] comes about 35 years after the freedom of the American negro slave, and shows that she herself was a slave. Back of this advertisement is a story that is pathetic. A mother looking for her child that was sold away from her in slavery over 45 years ago, and which she has never seen or heard of since; a sister looking for her long lost brothers, who, too, were sold away when children. Mrs Milla Dorsey is, as near as she can ascertain, about 72 years old, and has until very recently been living with her niece, Mrs John Coffee, at 262 Lexington st, East Boston. She has gone on a visit to her nephew, Thomas Isaacs, of [Indecipherable]12 Wayne st, Baltimore. Mrs Dorsey was born a slave on the Daniel Kent estate in Calvert county, Md. Her parents, Moses and Lina Bond, reared a large family, and as was customary upon nearly all of the plan- tations [plantations] of the south during the slave period, several of their children were sold to help carry on the estate. There was born to them Washington, James Lafayette, Joseph Henry, Queen Rebecca, Melinda Amphielia and Milla. These children were early scat- tered [scattered], and only after the close of the war and by the merest accident did Mrs Dorsey ever succeed in finding any. Of her brothers she has never heard. Her sisters she has met, and it is with their children that she spends the remain- der [remainder] of her days. According to the slave manner, she was married to Nelson Dorsey. At that time they were living in Low Mallow. Two children were born, a girl and a boy. The girl died and the boy lived, as far as Mrs Dorsey can recollect, to be about 6 years old, when he was sold to another master. The last that she saw of her only son was when his new mas- ter [master] was leading him away. Time passed and her husband died. Shortly after that she was sold and car- ried [carried] to Atlanta, Ga, where the breaking out of the war and the subsequent eman- cipation [emancipation] of the slaves found her. Hoping to reach her brothers and per- haps [perhaps] her son, Mrs Dorsay has taken to advertising for them in several papers. It is doubtful if she will ever be able to find her son or her brothers. If they are living, it is doubtful if they would recognize the names under which she is advertising for them. Slaves accepted any name which their masters chose to give them. When slaves were found on the plan- tations [plantations], at the time of the enumeration shortly after the war, many took their masters' names. Thus it may have hap- pened [happened] that Mrs Dorsey's son and broth- ers [brothers] may have taken the name of their last masters, and may have never known their own family name.

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY. Midlothian.-The quiet village of Midlo- thian [Midlothian] was the scene of an incident several days ago the like of which rarely occurs. In the spring of 1855, Robert Cox, a negro, belonging then to a gentleman in this vi- cinity [vicinity], was married to a woman of the same neighborhood. Several months after his marriage he was sold to a trader from Georgia, and was carried to that State, leaving his wife in Virginia. She, too, was sold a few years afterwards to a resident of another State. Though they were sepa- rated [separated] and each ignorant of the other's whereabouts, they both concluded to start out in search of each other. For more than six years they were sepa- rated [separated]; but the war being ended and they being set at liberty, began the task of finding each other. The man having heard from several sources that his wife had left Virginia, thought it useless to visit his for- mer [former] State; but after long years of search throughout several of the southern States, and not having any clue to her whereabouts, he concluded to visit his old home before it would be too late. But fortune favored him. His wife, having given up all hopes of meeting with him again, had returned here, and occupied the same old log cabin that she once resided in years before. When her husband came back again to the old cabin, and he beheld the one he had spent years of sorrow and toil endeavoring to find, they recognized one another, and the shout that arose from that cabin and rang through the forest near by will be re- membered [remembered] by them as long as they live. After finding his wife he carried her down to Georgia to live, and they are at present residing in that State.

There was sol- emnized [solemnized] here today a wedding that re- united [reunited] “Uncle” Robert Warren, of Os- kaloosa [Oskaloosa], and Charity Atwater, of North Carolina, after a separation of 53 years.

Seven years later after five children had been born to them, the father was sold to another master and taken to Tennessee, 700 miles away, and the family broken up. No word could be gotten back and forth, and finally Robert married again, his second wife being “Aunt Liza,” an historic character, who died here dur- ing [during] the winter. Since her death Robert has found out the residence of his early wife, and as a result of correspondence, the lady arrived here day before yester- day [yesterday]. Both old people are now past 80. They have four living children, two of whom are now preachers, one a Meth- odist [Methodist] and one a Baptist.

Lather Tibbs lived at Leesburg, Va., when he sold mother to Bruthing, and afterwards Tibbs moved to Alexandria, Va., and swapped me to Bruthing for another boy. Bruthing put me in jail and I cried, so he told me if I would hush he would bring my mother there next morning, which he did ; but I was so young mother hardly knew me, so Bruthing stood four or five boys in a line and asked her which one of them was her boy. She stood a few moments and then said I was the boy. Mother then brought me some cake and candy, and that was the last time I saw her. I now go by the name of Henry Tibbs. I remember the names of two of Tibbs' sons, Abner and Kennedy. Bruthing brought me to New Orleans, La., and sold me to a man named M. Pickett.

OLD "MAMMY" ASKS AID -------- Ex-Slave, 101 Years Old, Wants Mayor to Find Relatives. Many quaint letters filled with unusual requests are received by the Mayors of cities, and since taking office Mayor Preston has received his share. One that came yesterday from New Orleans from a colored woman, who signed herself Ann Whaley, touched the Mayor deeper than any he has received. The writer states that she is 101 years old and was an ex-slave, her mother having belonged to a Capt. Peter Whaley of this city. She asked the Mayor to find her relatives or some members of the Whaley family, stating that she was anxious to see some of "her people," white or black, before she died. The Mayor forwarded the letter to Marshal Farnan with a request that the Police Department endeavor to supply the information desired. The letter follows: "Mayor's Pahlor, Baltimore, Md.: "Your Honor--You will kindly inform me if you can of the whereabouts of my relatives living in your city. My mother's name was Minta Whaley. She was owned by Capt. Peter Whaley. I am 101 years of age to the best of my knowledge. There are relatives of mine living in your city or some of their posterity. I am very anxious to get in direct correspondence with them. Anything you can do for me, an ex-slave, will be highly appreciated. "This is the only way left open to me. You will kindly locate for me the Whaley family, if that is more convenient for you. I am anxious to see some of my people, white or black, before I die. Humbly yours, "ANN WHALEY.

REUNION.--Frederick Douglass, in a letter to the "American Baptist," announces the arrival at Rochester of his lost brother, Perry, and family. The letter concludes as follows: "The meeting with my brother, after nearly forty years' separation, in an event altogether too affecting for words to describe. How unuterably accursed is slavery, and how unspeakably joyful are the results of its overthrow! The search now being made and the happy reunions now taking place all over the South, after years of separation and sorrow, furnish a subject of the deepest pathes."

REUNITED AT LAST A Newburg Colored Man's Long Search for His Mother -- Both Sold in 1862 An incident has just come to light in this city which is a strong reminder of old slavery days in the South, and which illustrates sever- al phases of human character. Mr. Abraham Blackburn, a colored man 35 years old, had been in the employ of the late Rev. John Forsyth D.D., since March, 1878. He has always been sober, industrious, and reliable. Added to this Abraham is intelligent and courteous. In August 1862, Abraham, his mother, three sisters, and three brothers were sold into Rich- mond, VA., to Andrew Blackburn, a large slave- holder. They were by him carried to New Market, Jefferson County, Tenn. Abraham Blackburn, was a mere boy. At New Market the children were all separated from their mother, she being sold again. From New Market Blackburn, the purchaser, took the children to Henderson County, North Carolina, where they were one by one separated from each other, Abraham reaching the North some years ago. The mother was never seen or heard from by any of her children until last night. From the time Abraham reached the estate of manhood he has felt a keen interest in the welfare of his mother, and has long wanted to find out where she was and to see her. Of late years, he has adopted various plans which he thought would lead to the restoration of his mother to him. For the last four years and six months this dutiful son has been follow- ing up every clew that he had a idea would lead to the learning of his mother's where- abouts. He failed repeatedly, until yesterday. Then he received a letter from his aged mother's own hand. It now transpires that the mother has resided in Knoxville, Tenn., ever since the close of the War of the Rebellion. During the long search 236 letter have been written with the hope of finding this young man's mother. That there will be rejoicing when the reunited mother and son meet goes without saying. The mother is alone in the South, except for a sister Eliza, who resides at Richmond, Va. Abraham has written a letter to his mother expressing the wish that she come here and spend the winter, and then she can go back South, if she so desires, in the spring. There appears to be no doubt that the mother will avail herself of the invitation extended by her dutiful son, and that she will reach Newburg at an early date. Of the children who were sold with Abraham Blackburn, at Richmond, in 1862, the latter has track still of the following: William, who is (younger) at Syracuse, N.Y.: Mary (older) in South Car- olina: Clara, in Rutherford County, South Carolina. It is the purpose of Abraham Blackburn to remain at the house of the widow of Dr. For- syth during the the coming winter, where he will be an able assistant, as he always was, to the Rev. Dr. Forsyth, who valued his services very highly. In conversation with Abraham, it transpires that Dr. Forsyth did good work during the last few years in assisting the former in his search for his mother. And the young man speaks in high praise of his late employer for the benevolent and kindly interest he took in assisting him in this direction. Above all, Abraham returns his grateful thanks to God for reuniting him with his mother whom he loves so well. -- Newburg (N.Y.) Journal

REUNITED. Slaves of Over Forty Years Ago Meet and Will Be Remarried. CARROLLTON, Ky., Nov. 27.—Alexander Foley, of Natchez, Miss., a former slave, arrived here a few days ago to visit Dr. Goslie, who used to be his old master. His surprise could be imagined when he was told by Dr. Goslie that his wife who was sold from him forty years ago, was living in Carrollton. Mr. Foley told the following story: He had not been married long when his wife was sold and taken south, while he was sold to parties who took him further north. Neither could read or write, and as years rolled by he naturally thought that his wife died. Both, it developes, remarried, he settling in Virginia, while the wife settled in this city. Foley's second wife died a few years ago, as did his first wife's husband. Foley says divine providence brought them together, and he made himself known. His wife recognized him at once, and he took his Thanksgiving dinner with his spouse of ante-bellum times. The couple will be reunited in a few days.

ROMANCES OF SLAVERY TIMES. There are more romances of the cruel days of slavery among the colored people, even a quar- ter [quarter] of a century after the emancipation procla- mation [proclamation], than white-skinned people are generally aware. It is quite customary for inquiries to be read from the pulpits of colored churches asking the whereabouts of a brother or a sister, or per- haps [perhaps] a mother or son, from whom the person making the inquiry was separated either during the war or before the war, when families were divided by the auction-block. The other day a letter was read from the pulpit of one of the colored Baptist churches of this city, in which a brother asked about a sister, from whom he had been separated for over twenty years. The same letter had probably been read, as it is the custom, in nearly all the colored churches in the country. This one found an answer, the sister being Louisa Smith, a worthy colored woman, who has lived in this city many years, and is now in the family of Dr. J. L. Thompson. The brother is a preacher in St. Joseph, Mo., and they were separated in Kentucky when the war was in progress.

Romantic Lives Of Slave Couple. A marriage license was issued at Hagerstown last week to Robert Anderson, of Weverton, aged 74 years, and Ida Pryor, of Staunton, aged 67, both colored. The story reads like a romance. The couple were married before the war and both were slaves down in South western Virginia. Anderson was sold and separated from his wife whom he afterward heard was dead. He married again and his second wife died. A few years ago he learned that his first wife lived in this city and they met and decided to remarry.

ROMANTIC MEETING. An Aged Colored Couple Renew Acquaintance After Twenty-one Years’ Separation. San Antonio Express, 25. Wesley Torry, an old and well known colored man of this city, had the pleasure last Saturday evening of meeting his wife, whom he had not seen before in twenty-one years, during slavery times. An attempt of friends to bring about a renewal of the matrimonial tie has thus far proven a failure, as she is not willing to live here, and Wesley says he would not live anywhere else on earth. Although he is getting far advanced in life, his hair being silvered with the frosts of many winters, the longer he lives the more he is attached to life, and declares that he would not die willingly even to enter the golden mansions above. Wesley is a hard working, industrious and thrifty colored man, thought of and respected by his own people; but he is of the opinion that he has been separated too long from his first and only love to again resume the responsibilities of double blessedness. She was sold from him in slavery and taken away among strangers, just as cruel fate had done for many others before, and every effort made by both of them to discover the other’s whereabouts since the war has been in vain until twenty one long years, only to find themselves gray haired and aged. If she can be pursuaded to make San Antonio her future home, a reconciliation may yet be effected, and the old couple may yet live many happy years together. The event is a romantic one in the extreme and illustrates the wonderful vicissitudes of human life.

SEPARATED FOR FORTY YEARS. Strange History of William Davis and His Sister, Once Slaves. Niles, Mich. Aug. 10. - Forty years ago William Davis and his sister Mary were slaves in the family of James Matlock, a rich Georgia planter. Just before the war Matlock died and William and Mary were sold to pay the debts of the estate. They were parted and for forty years neither heard of the other. After the war William took the name of Davis and came north to Niles. He began the dray business, amassing a small fortune. To-day he learned that his sister is still alive and was in San Francisco. She sought out her brother William that she might leave her fortune of $150 000 to him. When she was sold she was bought by a wealthy wom who took her to California. when this woman died she had no relatives to leave her money to, and so made Mary her heir. Mary is now 83 years old.

Story of a Slave Family. The following is the story of a Mr. Goos- land [Goosland], now a resident of Oberlin: In 1847 he was sold from his wife and chil- dren [children] in Wytheville, Virginia, and taken to Mobile Alabama, where, after seven years of great economy, he purchased his freedom for the sum of $750. Soon after gaining his freedom he found his way to Oberlin, where he still resides. Mr. Goosland lost all trace of his family and friends, and was unable to find them until last January, when he chanced to hear of his sister, who soon after came to Oberlin on a visit, and is still here. A letter which Mr. Goosland wrote to his family after reaching Mobile, bearing date May 13, 1847, is still preserved. In this letter Mr. Goos- land [Goosland] deplores the sad fate which has thrust him from his family, but expresses a Chris- tian [Christian] submission to his lot and a hope that he may meet them in a better world. He says: "My dear wife, permit me to appeal to you to serve God, you and all of your children, and be forever faithful, and should I never see you more in this world, O, may I meet you in Heaven above, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." This letter is tear-stained and crumbled and torn, and looks as if the poor wife had car- ried [carried] it next her heart for a score of years. It is one of those damning proofs with which God will confront the slaveholder in the final account.

TO FIND RELATIVES. There have been separations in many families, most of this being brought about by the conditions that prevailed during the days of recon- struction or soon after the emancipa- tion. Father was separated from wife, mother from daughter, sister from brother, and so on. A case of this has come to light now: Rev. Samuel A. Franklin, who is residing in New Castle, Wash., is in search of rela- tives and has placed the following in- formation in the hands of the Globe. He wrote a letter as follows: 'I would like to know the wherea- bouts of my people. My mother be- longed to Judge Reeves, who owned the plantation called Castle Hills in Albamar county, Calhoun. My moth- er's name was Susan Franklin. There were nine children of us. I had brothers by the names of Sandy and Richard; sisters Millie, Rose, Henri- etta, Katie, and another by the name of Ludie. I cannot remember the name of the last one, as I left home in 1881. My people were members of the Zion Hill Baptist Church and Rev. Robert Hughes was pastor. At the time I left home my sister Millie was living in New York and my mother had married again to a man by the name of Bartlett Boves. My Sisters Katie and Henrietta went by the name of Boves."

Wedding After Forty Years of Separation. Our town is all agog this morning over the wedding that is to be cele- brated [celebrated] in a day or two between Aunt Vina Johnson, an old colored lady of our place, and a former husband, from whom she has been separated for forty years. Forty-three years ago Aunt Vina was the slave of a Mr. Johnson, in Fleming County, Ky., and was the wife of a Geo. Perry, also a slave, whose master lived in Mason County. He ran off and went to Can- ada [Canada], but returned and got his wife and child, and succeeded in reaching Chillicothe with them, where they were overtaken by Johnson, and the wife and child taken back. She re- mained [remained] a slave until 1864. Not hear- ing [hearing] from her husband, and supposing him dead, she married a man by the name of Jerry Johnson, some four or five years after being taken back, but she was left a widow in a few years. She moved to Ripley soon after being set free. Perry, who had been living in Canada until after the war, and since that time has been engaged in teaching school in Louisiana, wrote a letter to the son of Aunt Vina's master in Kentucky last March, inquiring whether she was alive or dead. John- son [Johnson] wrote to Harry Armstrong of our place, Aunt Vina's son-in-law, and he answered that she was living here. Perry was at once advised, and he commenced a correspondence. Eve- rything [Everything] was satisfactory, and he wrote that he would be here on Monday night last. That Aunt Vina was all anxiety and in a fever of excitement no one need be told. True to his promise, Perry arrived on Monday evening, and the meeting was a joy- ous [joyous] one. They have determined to be remarried, and are making every preparation for that event.--[Ripley (O.) Bee.

WERE SOLD IN SLAVERY. Story of Two Sisters Who Were Reunited After Forty-Two Years. BONNE TERRE, Mo., July 11.--An event rather out of the usual line occurred here this week in the meeting of two sisters,col- ored women, who under the operation of the old slavery regime were separated 42 years ago, when both were children, and had not seen each other since. Tuesday evening, Mrs. Woodsen, the elder sister, now 54 years old, astonished her baby sister of 42 years before, now Mrs. Culton, by presenting herself at the latter's door. In 1849, Mrs. Woodsen, then a girl of 12 years, was sold and taken South, where she became the property of a man named French, in whose family she remained a slave until liberated. After the close of the war, for a short time she attended a school for colored people, established by a Mrs. Snelling, where she learned to read and write. She then instituted inquiry for her relatives, and by correspondence with cer- tain white ladies whom she remembered, she obtained information of the whereabouts of her sister, Mrs. Culton, who was an in- fant in her mother's arms when Mrs. Wood- sen was sent South. Her presence with her sister is the result of her inquiries.
