Ashland. Oct..ll, 1871.
la Georgia recently a white man
and a negro woman, .who had been
marriod under a license duly issued by
t'ic Ordinary cr Clerk, were arrested
and brought into Court and convicted
of adultery and sentenced to imprison
ment,on the ground that marriajje be-
t tween the white atrl black races are
forbidden by a State statute, and arc
therefore illegal and void. They aued
out a writ of habeas corpus nn-J had
their case taken before Judge Erskiue
of tlio United Slates District Court,
claiming that the law under which
they had been convicted was in con
tr&venliou of the first section of the
Fourteenth -Amendment! which pro
vides that no State shall make or en
force any Jaw which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of any citi
xerr of the United States. Judge Ers
kino decided that the validity of the
statute ii question had not been af
fected by the adoption of -the amend
ment, and that the pretended mar
riage of the parties was. ill gal, and
their conviction just and proper nnder
the laws. According to this decision,
the marriage of a white man to a ne
gro woman is neither a privilege nor
a right.- Such a decision explodes
the amalgamat'on theories of ultra
leaders of the Republican party.
The Election.

The Democracy have carried Ash
land county by an average of about
three hundred majority. The major
ity for Mr. Yearick, for Treasurer,
will be about five hundred and fifty.
and that of Mr. Kenny, for Judge,
about two hundred and twenty.. A
spurious ticket headed "Democratic,"
with the name of Mr. Dirlam inserted
ia place of Kenny, was circulated ex
tensvely the county, and no doubt
largely voted without detection. This
trick shows to what extent the Re
publicans will, depart from the rules
of honesty to carry a point, and will
not escape public censure. We have
not, as yet, obtained sufficient details
to learn whether the district is all right;
but presume it is- We have- up to
this time, ho reliable information as
to the result i the State, but are of
opinion it has gone Republican. The
"New. Departure" was too much of a
load for a successful race.
N. B. Since, the above was put in
typ,we. learn that Mr. Kenny ts de
feated by about five hundred votes.
The Stato has probably gone over
t -.venty. thousand for Noyes. We
would not nave Deen. surprised u it
had gone two hundred thousand
against the "New Departure."'
The CHcago Fire.
We make room this week tor very
full details of the great fire at Chicago.
The latest telegrams report over one
hundred thousand houseless, homeless
Deoole wanderinz about the ruins of
their former homts, without food, and
suffering- for clothing! The fiery
fiend has swept over the larger por
tion" of the city and the loss of prop
erly now foots np hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. All the cities, and
a largo number of the small towns are
responding nobly to the cry for help.
Large quantities of food and clothing
have been forwarded,' free of freight,
from every part of the country. Still,
lho distress must be very great, and
thousands will be utterly ruined! No
such firo has been known in human
history. Besides the vast amount of
property destroyed, it is presumed
that hundreds of people have been
buried beneath the ruins of falling
buildings. Thousands who were ex
ulting n wealth and luxury ten days
since, are now humble beggars, with-ouLa-homo
or property! Such scour
ges are sent for i one purpose and are
full of meaning! Will theybj com
prehended?
Great Fire at Chicago.
The fire fiend broke loose at Chica
go on Saturday last The north
western portion of the city is almost
entirely consumed. On ?unday the
fiie took a fresh start and traveled
down the h.ko shore, consuming near
ly all the business portion of the city
The efforts of the fire department to
check the progress of the flames have
bo far been been futile The water
works,' fire engines ana all the means
generally used to suppress fire have
utterly failed Telegrams have been
sent to the neighboring cities for en
gines and help. Up to Monday eve
ning, it was estimated that one hun
drel thousand people ware housoless
and homeless, many of whom were al
most destitute of clothing and food
An appeal is' made to the public for
sympathy and immediato assistance.
No such fire has been known in mod
ern tunes in thia eountry. The fol-
lowing telegrams will enable th read
er to comprehend much of the situa
tion L.
CiriCAco,- Oct 812 :30 a. m.
The most terrible conflagration that
ever occurred in this city broke out
about an hour and a half ago, and
having already swept over six entire
blocks, 13 still raging with almost un
abated fury. The fire started iu a
large -planing mill situated between
Clinton and Canal, and Van Buren
and Jackson streets, about the center
of the block formed by those streets.
The wind was blowing very fresh, and
the flames spread with almost incred
ible rapidity, and in a few minutes lho

entire etructnro was a mass of fire.
The immediate vicinity is built np
mainly with small wooden tenement
houses and two story frame buildings
occupied as groceries, saloons, etc.
The inmates of many of these houses,
startled from slumber, had barely time
torUsIi from their houses in the scanty
attire of night, leaving their household
goods to destruction. In several in
stances children were hastily wrapped
in blankets and quilts to break the
force of their fall, and thrown from
second story windows to the ground
When the alarm sounded lor the fire,
another of considerable magnitude
was turning on Yells street, near
Adams, and several engines were nee
essarily kept at work upon this. The
rest of the engines in this city were
soon on the ground, but before they
arrived the fire had spread over so
larcro- an area, and was so rapidly
spreading, that their efforts seemed of
little avail. .Between Canal Mreet
and the river were several lumber
yards, which are entirely destroyed at
this hour, lhe fare has made a clean
sweep from Van Buren street north
two blocks to Adams, and west to
Cliuton three blocks from the river.
The wharves between Van Buren and
Jackson streets are burning, and the
wood work of the western approach to
Adams street Bridge is destroyed. A
farce coal yaid, containing thousands
of tons of soft coal, and situated be
tween ths tracks of the Chicago and
Alton and Pittsburg and Fort Wayne
Railroad and the River is on fire.nnd
burninz furionslv.
Chicago, Oct. 8. About one o'.
clock this mornintr. shortly after send
iuir mv last dispatch dctailiHjr the
irorress of the fire in the western di
vision, the flames were arrested and
under complete control of tine depart
ment, and I am now enabled to give a
more intelligent and greatly modified
estimate of their devastating effects
The space burned over embraces four
blocks, bouuded on the north by Ad
ams street, west by Clinton, south by
i Van Buren, and east by Chicago riv
er. i orae four or five buildings witlan
the limits named remain uninjured
among them Vincent, Nelson Co's
grain warehouse, one of the largest in
the citv. which escaped any serious
daraaze. This is due to the fact that
piles of anthracite coal lay between
the burning buildings and the elevator,
and bv the continual application of
Iarsre Quantities of water to the coal
piles, they were prevented from burn
inir. The cround3 burned over were
covered, with lumber yards, coal
yards, wood yards, a planing mill, box
factory, vineear factory, kc., ana
number of dwellings and saloons of
the poorer class. A close estimate of
the entire loss places it at from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred
thousand dollars, with probably one
half of that insureds
Chicago. Oct. 8 11:30 P. M.
The fire to-night, in the West division,
is now racing with unabated fury.
The fire commenced near laior st,
midway between Delavan and Jener
son. and is spreading in every diree
tion. It covers at least lour Hecks
at this hour, and still seems beyond
control. The blocks are built cp solid
ly. alniost exclusively ot two story
frame houses occupied as residences,
boarding bouses, falcons, groceries,
&c The loss is already large and it
is now feared that it will prove more
destructive iu its character than the
one last night. It is impossible yet to
learn but a very few names of the suf
ferers. The entire list will probably
embrace several hundred. No appro
nriate estimate can vet be made of
the total loss as the progress of flames
have not yet been arrested. HI try
and cet further particulars.
Chicago. Oct. 912 :45 A. M.
To-night is the most awful in the an
nals of the city. The fire which com
menced at 10 P. M. has already swept
over a snaee at least three limes as
large as that of last night, and is still
rushing on in its path of destruction
with greater fury than has marked
any stages of its progress, the engine3
appearing almost powerless. Fire
Marshal Williams has just telegraphed
to Milwaukee for all the steamers
they can spare. The conflagration
has already devastated at least twenty
blocks mostly composed of the smaller
class of dwellings, inhabited mainly by
poor people. Not less than three
hundred buiMin&s have been entirely
destroyed, and more than that num
ber of families are rendered homeless.
The wind is blowing almost a gale from
the south, and shover3 of sparks and
burning brands are sweeping over the
city, threatening destruction on every
hand. Since this report commenced
two additional alarms have been
struck, and the tower -of the' court
house caught from a flying brand, but
was extinguished by the watchman on
the tower. No description can give
an adequate idea of the terrible scene.
The fire started in a row of low tene
ments on Dekoven street, between Jef
ferson and Clarion, and, as was the
case last night, spread with terrible
rapidity. .ueiore a suigio engine
could get on the ground half the block
was in flames, and burned furiously.
The entire department were soon on
the ground and at work. For a time
it seemed probaLle that they would
succeed in confining it to an area of
four or five blocks. The wind, how
ever, which was blowing freshly when
firo started, increased to a gale, and
suddenly the flames seemed to spread
in every direction, becominar entirely
beyond the control of the fire depart
ment.
Chicago, Oct 91:15 A. M
m i
xne nre is still ragiug and with in
creased fury, and has spread almost
with the velocity of the wind, and has
now reached West Monroe street, a
distance of more than a mile from
s 1
where it stancu, ana it covers a
breadth of nearly half a mile, reaching
from the river to Jefferson street.
The district already burned over em
braces an immense number of lumber
yards, freight depots of tho Chicago
and St. Louis, and Pitt3burg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroads. The
property already destroyed counts up
to many millions ot dollars, ana per
haps the half is not told. The task
of arresting it seems to bo five-fold
greater now than it did an hour ago,
and no one dare venture the opinion
as to where- or when it will stop.
Brands from the fire have blown ncrobs
to the east .side of the river, and
wooden buildings are on fire directly
adjoining the Chicago gas houso. Tho
flames spread in every direction. The
adioinin" buildings being nil of the
tinder Lox kind, the prospect is that
the gas house will be destroyed and
the city wrapped in darkness. A
terrible panic is prevailing througlrout
the whole city, and almost everybody,
men, women and children are in the
street, and praying, weeping n.:d wail
ing is heard in every direction. It
now looks as'if the whole city might
be destroyed. Of course large num
bers of lives have been sacrificed, but
how many and who cannot be- known
nntil the progress of the flame? have
been arrested. The alarm bell ha3
just commenced ringing an unccasng
peal which is intended to call every
slcr per lroni his bed. The panic is
increasing and the people seem almost
crazy with alarm. The vessels in the
river are catching fire in every direc
tion and all in the south river will
probably bo destroyed.
Chicago,- Oct. 91:45 A. M. A
raging, roaring hell is developing
twenty blocks of the cit'. It is al
ready within a block of the telegraph
office where this dispatch is written,
and is sweeping onward, a whirlwind
of flame against which human efforts
are powerless, and it is impossible to
tell where it will stop. The bridge
across Van Buren street is burned,
shipping in the river, cars on the
tracks of the Chicago a:id Alton and
Ft. Wayne railroads, with immense
freight houses. These aro swept
away. No language can describe the
scene. The flames sweep through
blocks of wooden houses with the ra
pidity of prair'e fires. Thousands of
people fill tho streets, rushing out of
their dwellings iu many instances
barely in season to save their lives.
The Mayor has telegraphed ti nu
merous lities lor help. Food is badly
needed and assistance is asked from
St. Louis, Cincinnati and Detroit. A
dispatch has been received from the
Cleveland Board of Trade preferring
aid, and asking what is most urgently
Chicago, Oct 92 P. M. Presi
dent Grant has telegraphed to the
military authorities here to issue ra
tions and such other supplies as may
be needed y the municipal authori
ties, and to make requisitions on the
military authorities at St, Louin, lor
what additional supplies are needed.
Dispatches have been sent from
here to all points, stating that cooked
food, bread and cheese, and tent", are
needed immediately. Thousands are
houseless aud will be starving unless
aid comes at once. Assistance is com
ing in rapidly and in vast quantifies,
but the demand is still far in excess of
th 3 supply.
Chicago, Oct. 9, Latek. The
entire business portion of tho city is
destroyed. All the banks, express,
and telegraph offices, all the newspa
per offices except the Tribune, six
elevators and the water works are
gone No water is iu the city. Not
less than ten tlion. and bnildiugs have
already been destroyed. It has burned
a distance of five miles and is still rag
ing with the wind blowing a galo.
Chicago, Oct 9. Hon. William
(Mop, New York: We are trying to
get ?tablishcd a supply depot, but as
the fire is now coming up thi way on
Wabasli aveii'.ie, we will probably be
driven out of here before night. The
Water Works are burned. Jvcry
banking house and every raiiroau de
pot in the city ii burned.
Chicago, Oct. y Aiternoon. jno
one can now tell, perhaps no one can
ever tell, how many, but some are
known to have perished, and there is
a heartsickening fear that the victims
of the fiery monster may be counted
by scores. Hundreds of horses and
cows have been burned in stables, and
on the North Side numbers, though
released from confinement, bewildered
and confused by the sea of fire which
surrounded them, rushed wildly to
and fro, utteriiig crie3 of fright .and
pain, until they were sccrched and
killed.
Chicago, Oct. 9 1 P. M. he
awful work of destruction g os on
with relentless Fury. From Harrison
street south to Division street, north,
and from the river to the lake, and
four miles long by one wide, the flames
have swept everything before them.
It is estimated that at least one hun
dred thousand people are homeless
and in a suffering condition. The
streets in districts still unburned are
lined for miles with such household
goods as have been saved from destruc
tion. Most generous offers ot assis
tance in monej, food and everything
wanted are coming from every city
and town by telegraph. The Mayor
has responded to several oners, asking
that cooked food be forwarded as soon
as possible. Fiicmen are on their
way here from Cincinnati, St. Louis
and other cities, The water works
are entirely destroyed, and we are now
blowing up buildings in the liue of tho
fire in the attempt to arrest its pro
gress.
Chicago, Oct, 9-G P. M.--The
progressing flames in tho South Di
vision were fully arrested about one
o'clock. This was accomplished by
the blowing up and demolishing of
several buildings on Wabash avenue
and Congress street by Lieutenant
General Sheridan. The district burn
ed over in the South Division embra
ces everything from the main branch
of Chicago river to the lake, em
bracing about one hundred blocks,
and this district contamod all the
leading business houses, banks, insur
ance offices, hotels, etc A large
number of churches, including the St.
Mary's Catholic, First Presbyterian,
Second Presbyterian, St, Paul's, Swee
denborgian, etc. Tho Methodist
Church, corner of Wabash avenue
and Congress street, is saved. The
Michigan Avenue Hotel, on tLc cor
ner of Michigan avenue end Congress
street, and Congress Hall, directly ad
joining on Congress street, were sav
ed. Michigan Terrace, on Michigan
avenue, embracing the residence of
Lieutenant General Sheridan, Gover
ernor Bross, Hon. John Scamnions,
S. C. Gri"g3, Peter L. Ross and oth
er leading citizens, nre completely de
stroyed, with their furniture and
nearly all tho contents.
Almost the entire Northern Divis
ion, from the main branches of Chi
cago River to Lincoln Park, nearly
two miles long and one mile wide, is
completely destroyed, including the
water works, a large number of church
es, eta This statement embraces
almost the entiro business portion of
the city. South of Harrison street,
in the South -Division, reaching out
many miles, and covered almost en
tirely with dwellings, composed large
ly of tho more elegant class, is un
touched, and may now bo regarded
safe from injury. For miles and
miles in every direction the sidewalks,
lawns, vacant Iota and front yards of
the -dwellings are filled with, people
who have escaped from theso burning
dwellings, taking with them only a
scanty amount of furniture and cloth
ing. The sight is truly pitiful and
harrowing. They must receive im
mediate relief, or may, from exposure
and starvation, perish.
Chicago, October 10.
The. people commenced moving;
horseB. were .brought into requisition
to take proprietors and others to the
conflagration. What a scene met
their gnze! The JBoard of Tiade,
Court House.--Western Union Tele
graph and Associated Press office, and
hundreds of other buildings, were in
flames. The air was filled with live
coals, which were hurled to the north
and east, a besom of destruction.
Five engines were powerless for say
ing; all that men could do were to
blow up the buildings, but this availed
but little. Tho Times, Tribune, Post,
Republican, Journal, and other news
paper office", Western News Co.,
Blockfield Leiter's establishment,
the Drake block (recently built), Far
well Co.'s all were soon in ashes.
It seemed that no sooner had the
flames struck a wall than they were
directly through, and in a very few
moments sufficed to destroy the most
elaborately built structure the walls
melted and the very bricks were con
sumed. The Wooden pavements took
fire, making a continuous sheet of
flames two miles long by a milo wide
Block after block fell, and the red hot
coals shot higher and higher and
spread further and further, until the
North Side to the lake and south was
a vast sheet of flaine from river to
lake.
AH tho books and papers of the
Historical Society, including the orig
inal copy ot the famous emancipation
proclamation of President. Lincoln,
lor which the society paid $25,000,
Avere destroyed. It is feared that
large fa umbers of children, inmates
of the Catholic Orphan Asylum, on
State street, were also burned, as
many of them are missing. On Chi
cago avenue a father rushed up stairs
to carry three children away when
he was overtaken by the flames and
perished with them. The mother was
afterwards seen on a street on the
Northwest Side, a raving maniac.
In the same neighborhood a family of
five persons perished, Tho list of fa
taliiies is very long, and can only be
fully verified after the smoke shall
have cleared away. There nre hun
dreds of families on that side who
saved no clothing, but barely their
lives among them is the family ot
Perry Smith, formerly President of
the Northwestern Railroad Company.
Later A careful survey ot the in
surances to-day show that there were
written on the property destroyed
over two hundred million of dollars.
Add another hundred million to this
sum, and a fair estimate cau be reach
ed of the loss. All the leading mer
chants who have been seen express a
determination to resume buauesaat
once. This includes the heavy houses
of -John V. Narewell, Field, Leiter
Co., and Sprague, Warner C
Farewell Co. and Field, Loiter ci
Co. saved in exchange from three hun
dred thousand to a half million dollars
worth oi goods, and both firms have
already established headquarters on
the West Side.
Private and special dispatches from
Chicago sny that this fire is still raging
in the northern part of the city. There
was a heavy rain last night, hutit was
of short duration, and the weather U
cold to day.
Crowds are roaming tho streets,
making turbulent demonstratins and
taking possession of what they choose,
entering houses and alarming the in
mates. There are but few
military,
but companies of troops are being hur
ried up from various points. I here
is abundance of food, but a great deal
is being wasted from lack of system
in its distribution or of persons to
take charge of it. Large quantities
are dumped from cars along the track,
and there are a hundred barrels of
flour with the heads knocked out.
Or.ly cooked food should be sent at
present bread, crackers, meat, &c.
The fire continued to burn all last
night on tho North Side, but this

morning it is under control, it is
literally true to say that there is noth
ing remaining of that side from the
river north to Lincoln Park, and
from the north branch of the river
west to the lake on tho east. This
portion of the city, except along Main
and the river, where there were busi
ness blocks, was occupied by dwell
ings, and two-thirds of the population
is German and Scandinavian. There
are now homeless, and others were on
the prairies without shelter through
out the day.

Eugenie Interviewed,
A lady who lately visited Eugenic
writes to Casseli's Magazine
She looked what Tennyson calls
"divinely fair," but as one who has
suffered much. There was a worn,
weary look inexpressibly pathetic in
her eyes, just touched over tho lower
lids with black; her cheeks were thin
and very pale, her fair hair simply ar
ranged low on the neck behind, drawn
back at the sides, and with curls on
the forehead, and it was her own hair,
distinctly and palpably her own. Her
dross- was ol black paramelte, self-
trimmed, with a small tunic, anil a
general look of scantiness about it.
She wore a little white shirt collar and
cufli. and not a single jewel, save one
diamond star that held the little col
lar Her manner suits her imperial
presence simple, courteous, earnest.
It is as of a ready wilted woman, sweet
tempered, full of human interest and
feelings, impressionable, mobile,' faji
miling; emphasizing a'l she says with
her grandly cut Spanish eyes, that
might almost indeed Ptaud her ia lieu
or speech so eloquently do they coa
verse. There is a wonderful and va
ried charm about her, Cleopatra-like,
that neither ajre nor custom can with-
j er or stale. To see how the woman
struggled with the Lmpress, and how
it brought her down to calm sympathy
and pity from a solitary stranger, was
very touching.
After some preliminary conversa
tion, the ex Empress spoke of her last
days in Paris "I Was forsaken by
all the Ministers. Trochu, whom the
Emperor appointed, left me. They
all left me and betrayed me. What
could I do? I was alone. Ah she
added, with an inspired look, "it was
my passion
Siie turned her tearful eyes to heav
en "tier passion Could anything
be. more touching?
,-I was alone," she repeated, as if
in justification "utterly abandoned.
What could I do but fly? I wa3 not
afraid. I could look death in the face;
but all had leftine."
Were the details of 3'our Majes
ty's flight, which appeared in the pa
pers, accurate?"
''Yes," said she, "tolerably so.
For thirty days I was guarded by the
Bell vilh; men. Oh.it was horrible!
They look possession of the Tuilcries.
My only happiness was that I suffered
uiono. lho fmperor away and my
boy safe no, I could not have borne
it had mv boy been in danger."
'By what door did these wretches
enter the Tuilcries, madame?
Everywhere by all the doors, and
the windows, too. They came down
from the Place de la Concorde. I saw
them coming through the trees and
then thev broke over the fences into
the reserved garden and at last smash
ed the lower windows and broke opeu
the doors. They came, too, from the
other side, from the Place du Carous
sal black masses ot men, pressing
closer and closer they, too, broke in
everywhere. No one opposed them
the guards were gone. There were
horrid cries, and screams, and oaths.
From theso thief dog3 I expected
death 1 saw it iu their faces, they
wanted my blood. I was so weary I
did not care; to live or to die was the
same to mo. For the last three days
there was a change; more savage
men came about me. I never left my
room. I lay down on my bed a little
for rest, but J did not undress; I did
not want to ba murdered in my night
dress."
She made a little motion with her
hands as she said this that I cannot
describe but it told of the delicacy
of the woman, aud tho lofty decorum
of the sovereign, that carefully gath
ers her robes around her ere she dies.
"Madame," said I, "had you fallen
by the hands of those wretches, you
would have lived iorever in history
and poetry. Every art would have
been evoked to celebrate your memo
ry, iou would have united the
beauty and laoination of Mary, Queen
of Scots, to tho virtuous fortitude of
Marie Antoinette. It would have
been a glorious immortality 1"
'Yes,' sho said, melting into the
sweetest, merriest smile; "ves, that
is all very well but I would" like to
enjoy yet a little in my life."

the sea manifested itself at a very
tender 'Age, though it is very hard to
think of Robinson as very tender at
any age, his career was so very totigh.
When thev attempted to teach his
infant li s to pronounce the letters of
the alphabet they never Could get him
beyond theX'i iA and. B'went- well
enough, but when he got on the C
there he stuck, a strangely prophetic
indication ot what his iuture lite was
to be. When he cried it was on-C
sharp.
and when he got
cold his bark
was on the C.
As he grew older he yearned con
stantly to be on the water, to the great
disgust ot his fatner, who was on
whisky. He used to sit' for hours at
a time on a canal bridge near his fath
er's door, and, as the boats passed un
der, imagine he was plowing the
mighty deep. It was so much easier
than plowing out corn. He hadn't
any mast to climb, but in the absence
ot a mast he would climb a young
er brother, or any neighbor's boy who
wasn't quite his size.
But he sighed lor other climes. He
was irresistably inclined to ramble, so
much so that he rammed in his talk,
his ideas being all abroad.
When at last he announced his de
termination to go for a sailor, his
father endeavored to dissuade him
from it.- ''Why' said the old man,
with tears in his eyes and a choking
ycice, ''why go for a sailor when there
are so many other people to go for. who
have got money r
Then he pointed out tho disadvan
tages o I a life ui oa the ocean how
he couldn t be in early of nights, or
take lone: walks over the hills before
breaklast or go bu!ig3T riding with the
girls, (unless he could borrow the cap
tain s gig,), or go to the beer gardens
Sunday nights, or come in when it
rains, or go squirrel hunting, or at
tend ward meetings, or vote, utiles he
happened to be at one or the other of
the 'Poles, or receive a line from any
of his friends, with the solitary ex
ception of the Equinoctial Line.
He tried to show how much better
off he would be to pursue some steady
employment on land, if it wasn't any
thing more than steadying himself by
a lamp post. He pointed out the
perils of tho sea to'd of the 'old
salts' who h.id been drowned in it,
producing its salty flavor, and ot the
difficulty a green hand encounters, in
wading ashore when a storm arises.
lie cited as a warning the ea6 of
another son, who, against the father's
'warnings and exp istu'ations, ran away
aud enlisted as a soldier iu the Mexi
can war, where he was killed by fail
ing from the mast he.ul while charg
ing a battjry.
Young Ciusoe was so deeply affect
ed by his fatlier s words that he made
up a Lun:IIe that very night and ra i
away to sen how it was hiais.'lf.
He met with numerous dUr.s'.crs
before h succeeded in getting himself
ship-wrecked sufficiently to make out
a narrative for general circulation.
The first vessel ho embarked cn was
wrecked in Yarmouth Roads, it- being
so dark and stormy thc-y cou'd not
ioll one road from auother After
that the vc:stl was captured by pi
rates, and all hands sold into slavery
to the Moors, the Moors being ignor
ant of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. Refusing to accept these
Amendments as Constitutional, aud
scorning any 'New Departure,' Crusce
took his departure in the old manner,
he ran away.
We next find him on board a ves
sel sailing for Guinea. They have a
miscellaneous cargo ol trinkets, toys
and trifles which they propose to ex
change with the inhabitants of Guinea
for gold dust, elephants' teeth, Guinea
pigs, CvC. Alsc, any able bodied Af
ricans who, in their eagerness for the
ballot, are readv to leave home and
work a few generations for nothing.
Ihe.v voyaged prosperously tor many
days, but nt length a great storm
arose. If I recollect right it caught
them when they were in seven de
grees of Masonry, twenty two miu
utes anil fourteen seconds to a prise
fight, r. M., north latitude, witn tne
wind blowing north east by east by
south sou-west by nortli-nor-west by
east bv e east bv west by we-wes'. by
bv iiminv. this is- too much sailor
lingo for me.
It was too much for Crusoe as well.
The tornado increased in vhl nice,' and
the waves rose higher than he had ev
er known them to be, even when gold
was 2:50. This vessel was wrecked
on an island, and every soul lost ex
cept our hero, who, in his bewildered
state, thought it rather rough to save
Robinson and use the rest of the
Crusoe.
He washed ashore, after being pret
ty thoroughly washed on the sea, aud
as soon as the waves subdued he built
a raft ami brought away from the
wreck a few such necessaries as a keg
of beer, a hoop skirt, a billiard table,
a box of paper collars, a deck of cards,
a pain of corsets, a compas-", a case of
Walton's Bitters, a bottle of har dye,
an umbrella, a volume of the Con
gressional Globe, a boot jack, a piano
stool, a cigar holder, and a bottle of
Dr. Kerr's Renovator. With' these
articles he hoped to get on very com-
loi tably.
I am .thin particular to mention
this, because he didn!t act as many
do go and sue tho insurance com
panies before trying to save "anything.
1 he island proved- to be J uan V er
nandez. It is a lonely inhabited "island
ia the ooutii i acme, on trie usual
track of ships, or of any. railroad
track. It -might bs Juan Fernandez, I
but it wouldn t be any Juan for me.
But Crusoe, solitary and alone,
managed to get along very well there
for several years. lie lad no neigh
bors to quarrel with, didii't have a
gas bill coming m evcrv two moutns,
wasn't threatened with
having
the
water stopped, hadn't any one to scold
him when he came in late, wasu t kept
awake by the firing Fourth of July
nights, uor harrassed by. any life in
surance ageut.
He tamed a number of wild ani
mals and taught them various tricks,
sometimes giving entertainments at
various points on tho island for the
amusement of animals that were not
yet tamed. But this is not peculiar
to Crusoe. All men ngeries by that
right along, only ihey make the wild
animals pay as they go ia.
We' tat enabled to 'gather soma oti
his habits from the familiar poem
which he left behind for purposes of
Fchool declamation
S'I an a monarch of all I survey."
t; (He knew" something" of surveying
evidently, arid amused himself by lay
ing puttown lots all.uis own.)
'My right there Is none to dispute."
(He-wasia pugilistic, skillful with
his RIGHT, and there was none to
dispute.)
'From the center all around the sea."
(Fenian, of course, and Head Cen
ter all 'round to the sea
'I am Lord of the fowl and the brute."
(Mind cr tte ring yet won't ".al
low a FOUL, and can t handle'the
brute.)
Crusoe was greatly alarmed one
day by seeing the print of a humo
fo.ot in the sand. It measuied some
thing over fourteen inches to the foot.
No savage, he thought, short of Long
John Wentworth, of Chicago, could
sport such a foot but he immediately
reflected that Long John wa not yet
on earth, so it couldn't be he. THe
concealed himself, and qickly saw a
boat load of cannibals land with a
prisoner iu thoir midst, a gentleman
by the name of Friday, whom they
prepared to roast for dinner. Crusoe
being conscienciously opposed to eat
ing meat on Friday, interfered and
rescued him from the cannibals. So
from that day he became Robinson
Crusoe's man Friday, doing his
chores, blacking bis boots, running of
errands, and voting' at every election
as Crusoe directed.
After years spent on this lone is
land, a ship touched there for water,
there being nothing else to touch '.here
for, and took Robinson Crusoe- to
England.
Robinson, from his boyhood up, had
a habit of crowing when surprised or
delighted. Years after his delivery,
when speaking of the first glimpse he
caught of that ship, he used to say,
never was there a period in his life
when Robinson Crusco.
When Robinson died he imagined he
was surrounded by enemies, for hi
last words were
"DeFoet DeFoe!"
