MY ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY.
rrodorlok Dongta1 Story of Hit
Flight from Bondage.
Spwial Cflrte p6 ilcnc6 Vhlla It1 | > hh Ptcsi.
NEW YOIIK , Octobur 20. The
ntuiio of Fred Douglass is ouo of the
beat known in ( ho country , and Uio
fact that lie , n colored limn , escaped
from slavery at a time when the Un-
clen romil railway wan running ita
perilous trips ia hUe well known. The
manner jof his escape , however , has
never until now boon told. ly ) the
kind permission of the editor of The
Century Magazine ( formerly Scrib-
nor'fl Monthly ) I nm poHnlttod tb give
a fonr extracts from Mr. Douglass1
narraiivo of his escape , printed in that
magazine lor the first tune. To toll
the vholo atorV in thia loiter would
not bo fair to the magazine , so Tshall
only touch upon aomo few of the inci
dents of that light for freedom.
Though of tea asked to * rite the story
of hia escape , Mr. Douglasi has re
fused on the grounds that while sl&
very existed there wore a gobd manj
reasons for not tolling the story , an
since it had ceased to exist , there TTH
no reason for tolling it. Ho has a
last boon prevailed upon to toll th
tale. Those persons who expect
sensational story will bo disappointed
There is , however , in the simple nar
ration n pathos that nil who read i
must feel. It is n record of courag
that could risk betrayal , and braver
that was ready to encourage death i
need bo. But those qualities wor
not largely drawn upon. Address run'
cmmiiw were of more use and the ,
won the day.
Nearly half n century ngo , whoi
Douglass made his escape from slavery
it was the custom in the state of Mary
land to require all free colored poop1 !
to bo provided with "froo papers ,
without which they were not permit
ted to travel. A description of the
person was given in these papers , nm
the person was examined very' rigidl ;
to make good his identity. A slav'
answering'to the general dcsription
would sometimes borrow or 'dire hi
papers from a free negro , but this , wa
a critical thing to doandoffonreaultec
disasterously to both the owner am
the borrower. ' Douglass1 answered'n '
description papers ho had aeon'sof
plaii could hot be adopted in hiB.Ctlse
Ho had a friend a sailor who was |
provided with certain qovernmon
papers that had at least on ofOcia
look. Baltimore was his starting
point. Ho arranged with a friondl ;
hackman.to take liis luggage to ih
station and arriving there himself'jus '
in time tb jump'aboard the train , hop
ing in the confusion attending its do
parturd to avoid .exciting1 . suspici6n
The story is best told ih Douglass1 owi
language i
"Inmy clothing I was rigged ou
in sailor ( style. I had on n red shir
and a tarpaulin hat , ' and a black crava
tied in sailor .fashion carelessly am
loosely about my nock. My' knowl
edge of ships and sailor's talk came
much to my assistance , for I know a
ship from stem to stern and from keel
son to cross-trees , and could talk
sailor like an 'old salt. ' 1 was well on
the way to Havro do Grace before the
conductor came into the negro car to
collect tickets and examine the papers
of his black passengers. This was a
critical moment in the drama. M ;
, wliolo future depended upon the decision
cision of this conductor. Agitatet
though I was while this ceremony wa
proceeding , still , ' externally at' least
I was apparently calm and self-pea
ecssed. He wonb on with his duty
examining several colored passenger
before reaching mo. Ho somowha
harsh in tone and peremptory in man
ner until ho reached me , when , strang'
enough , and to my surprise and relief
his whole manner , changed. Soeinj
that I did not readily produce 'mi
free papers , as the other colored'per '
sons in the car had done , ho said
mo , in a friendly contrast with his
bearing toward the others : "
"I suppose you have your free pa
pore ? "
To which I answered :
"No , sir ; I never carry my free papers
pors to sea with mo. "
' But you have something io show
that you aie a freeman , haven't' you ? '
Yes sir " I answered "I have
, , ; a pa
per with the American eagle on it ,
and that will carry mo around the
world. "
At Havro-do-Graco ho mot a young
colored man whom ho know and who
seemed curious to find out his business
so far from homo. Ho got rid of this
difficultyonly to encounter another.
At the window of a train , standing on
a side track directly opposite the one
ho was in , sat a man for whom lie had
just boon working at Baltimore. , By
good luck the man did not' turn
around , ao ho was undiscovered. ' On
reaching Philadelphia ho inquired h's (
way to the Now York trains and ar
rived in this city on the 4th of Sep
tember , 1838 , n free man. But his
troubles were not over. In Now York
iio found that it was hard to find a
trustworthy man oven of his own raco.
Largo premiums were offered for the
return of runaway slaves , and few of
the miserable darkies iu.tlio city could
withstand the temptation to betray a
brother. For days Douglass wandered
liomoless mid hungry through the
itrcots. Finally ho found a good
Samaritan who directed him to the
louse of David Rugglca , one ot the
) fllcors of the Underground Railroad ,
.vlio liyed on the corner of Church and
Liisponard streets. There the poor
unuway was hidden for several days
md there ho was joined by his iritendr
id wife , a free woman'froin Baltimore ,
md they were married by1 a Presby-
iorian minister. From Npw York the
iewly-iiiarried couple > vcnt to Now
Bedford , Mass. , where their free lifo
icgan in earnest. It was in Now Bod-
brd that Douglass , on the advice of n
lolorod friend , changed the name given
urn at birth to the ono ho now boars.
Frederick Augustus Washington Bai-
oy was his orignal name. Her frinnd ,
laving just read The Lady of the Lake ,
iiiggestcd , indeed insisted upon Doug-
ass ns the now surname , aim Douglass
t was made. EIUHMUH.

igual rcmiiik ( lint " 'twas time honoit

rudged off upstahs , followed by the
iged partner of his sorrows and
oaichcr for his joys.
"Don't you young folka sot up till
tha morning paper cornea , thia time , "
shouted she over the bannisters.
"No o P , " replied n unroot voice
from the parlor ; "wo won't , will wo ? "
said she in an undertone.
"Not if I know it , " was the reply.
"If the old folks nro going to bo M
aour ns thia I guess I'll .skipnow , " nui
ho reached for his hat.
"Seo herol" antl the girl's eye
gleamed with cwunostncssj "you're tli

"Your Wife , Fred ! Of all things

"Certainly , and Mrs. Hopkins am

"So people Bay' but I wouldn't like

"Lizzio , you oatonish mo , "

"How many do you thinkmy

"Now , Lizzio '

"Lizzie , Lizzio " i

"Yes , sir. "

A public school fifty yoara ago WAI a
very dlfllerotit ntlnir from what it is
nowadays.
Upon my word , when I think of the
whipping that wont on tiny after day
in the old Mayhcw school ) I am aston
ished at it. Yet , with the \arioty of
corporal punishment so freely bestow
ed there wai mingled a sort of ghastly
sportive element , agiim humor which
did not always commend itself to the
perception of him who. received the
llngelmtion , A merry conceit , for in
stance , was that of Master dough ,
The ingonimnis person would alruc
culprit to stand upon the platform
near the desk , and without bonditij
the knees , touch the Hour with hi
lingers , Then n smart ilourish of the
rattan and a sudden blow would canto
the unhappy youth to involuntarily resume
sumo an upright position with divert
ing rapidity. If was really very aunts
ing ( to Master Olough ) . Sometime
an oirdndor would bo oskod by one o
the musters which instrument of tor
ture ho would choose the riding-whip
the ruler , or the rattan. Whiohovei
ho seemed to prefer was not the ono
used , but one of the others > woulc
make him smart. This little chanqi
would have a healthful moral inllu
eiico upon the scholar , teaching patience
tienco and resignation under d is ftp
pointinont. A pleasant ! | luslratioi
( to the teacher ) of the irony of fnti
was shown in another way. Whoi
the stock of rattans ran low ( mid tha
uns not seldom ) Borne \ictiinlndts
grace would be dispatched for a frost
supply , knotting that on his return ho
would feel the first stroke ot the rod
With what ingenious refinontcnt o
torture the victim was thus made to
tind the weapon that should woum
him !
There was another diversion of our
kind-hearted masters which in sum
mer , when the dajs were long , occa
sionally broke the monotony oi school
boy life. Sometimes , of a sultry July
afternoon the qound of voices in the
room grow fainter and fainter1 , his
head would droop and finally sink up
on his desk ; and he would quickly bp
in the land of dreams. Then it was
that the master , sei/ing his rattanand ,
stealthily yet joyfully striding across
the rows of desks , would give the
sleeping wretch such a rousing wlmck
a to astonish and confound as well as
suddenly awake him.
I confess' , that these diversions of
the podogoguo were neb without their
attraction for us who looked on and
saw at , the contortions of the boys
whoso fortune it was at the moment
to bo under discipline. The fact that
our turn might como next did not pre
vent us from finding what entertain
ment wo might in what our master ev
idently enjoyed. None of us had yet
road the maxims of the cynical La
Rochefoucauld , but wo realized that
under certain circumstances there is
something in the misfortunes of our
friends that gives us a certain sort ol
satisfaction.
Those werojindecd days when flog
ging was administered in no homoeo
pathic doses , but with a most heroic
fullness _ of practice. I once made a
careful estimate of my own experience
in that way , and came to tho'coticlu-
sion that I had averaged
whipping and a half a day during my
connection with the Mayho'w school.
Of course wo became somowhat'hmrei !
to this rough treatment. It' was con
sidorcd the proper thing to suffer witl
Spartan firmness , and ho who whih
laid across the mastor' jkneotopult
calmly make comical and derisive
faces from his ignominous position ,
for the entertainment of his associates ,
without' ' having his \ attention divortec
tto other imrta of 'his ' body , waamc
counted a bravo' ' follow. Then there
was a superstitious belief that > by lay
ing one's eyelash in the hand that wai
about to bo feruled , the accursed wood
was sure to bo shattered' ' on coming in
contact with thomngio hair. But ]
never saw one shattered.
Liquid Gold-

nii'cs ' for n bottle of THOMAS' EOI.KOTUIU

proved worth moro than fold to inc. "
