Caeser's V i rginiaTurkey.
Caesar Alexander Shakewell, a color
ed citizen of Bridgeville, owned uo tur
keys. and his richer white neighbors
had put theirs in special security as
Thanksgiving Day drew near. Mrs.
Shakewell Kept nagging Caesar about a
turkey until he determiner! to have one
before another sun set, at any cost.
He sat down before the tire in the twi
light to study out some plan of action
on the important question.
It came to him quite readily, it ap
pears , for all at oute he found himself
carrying it out. He had noticed a
loose board on Col. Fairgrove's back
fence the day before. The Fairgroves
were easy-goiug people, not much giv
e n to hammer and nails, and they
would be sure to have a turkey in a
coop in the backyard getting ready for
the annual feast.
Sure enough, the board fell off at the
bidding of bis brawny arm, and there
in a pen in the corner was the bird of
his hopes. The slats of his coop drop
ped before the same poteut force, as
though they had been mere ravelings.
It was no trouble at sill to tie his legs,
cover his body with an old bag and slip
quietly away with him. Once at home
Caesar Alexander put him in a barrel
and laid heavy sticks of wood on the
open top.
Then he called to his wife to come
and see him and to quitt 4 j >rrin' ' him
about their Thanksgiving dinner.
She appeared, looked at the bird with
eyes like saucers, and then grew very
grave.
4 Wbar did ye gil him ?' she asked,
with something like aW9 in her voice.
'Worked for 'ira, o' course,' raid her
gentle spouse, with a sneer. 'Knowed
al the time dat I was to gk 'im ; but
you had to hev yer fill o' jorrin' and
complainin' at me for a wuthless nig
ger. Knowed it was no use to tell ye.
Ye wouldn't b'lieve me till he come."
Mrs. Shake well looked at her hus
band,a fresh well of admiration spring
ing up iii her heart. He was a super
ior creature, to be sure ; she would
neyer doubt it again.
Before going to bed Caeser Alexan
der went into his small yard, lifted a
stick or two of wood from the turkey's
barrel and took a long and fond look at
his prize. Suddenly a hat.d was laid
on his shoulder, and he turned with
quaking knees, expecting to face the
village constable ; but dark as it was
he could see that the hand belonged to
a gentleman of his own color, though
one r with whom he was entiiely unac
quainted—'a kind of old fashioned
look in' nigger,' he said when telling
the story afterward. Iteassuied to find
that it wasn't the law he had to con
front, he put considerable bravado in
to his voice as he said :
'Who are ye, anyhow ; and what
d'ye want in a gemraan's yard at
night ? It's forenenst the law to creep
aroun' honest folks' houses on the s'y
that way.'
'Caesar ! Caesar !' said the other,
without appearing in the least intimi
dated ; 4 I am one of yer aincestora
from 'way back, and I can't come to
yer in daytime because I've beeu dead
a long time.'
Here Caesar's teeth chattered aud
his legs gave way under him.
'Brace up I' said the ancestor, slap
ping him on the shoulder. 'Brace up '
I'm here for yer good,not for yer haim.
I want ye to kerry that turkey back.
Ye've done some thing to disgrace the
name of Shakewell. and I won't stand
it. The constable will be down onto
ye to-morrow mornin' 'fore 9 o'clock if
ye don't, an' there'll be a neighborhood
scandal about this bird that'll make the
whole rare o' Shakewella shake in their
graves. Caesar ! for the sake of your
proud and honorable aincestors take
that bird back, and to morrow take yer
gun and go to the woods and git one o'
the turkeys uv yer fathers—an' it's a
bird that no nigger ought to turn up
his nose at, either.'
Here the 'aincestor' sniffed delight
edly at something invisible, something
in his memory aparently, and then
went on :
'lt's a bird dat no man owns ; it's
de true Vahginiah turkey. 'Tisu't a
feathered bird ; 'tisn't a fowl at all.
It wears fur and has fifty teeth, a brist
ly tongue, a long preheusible tail—you
see, Caesar, yer aincestor had larnin'—
and plantigrade feet, Caesar, it has
plantigrade feet.'
'Ugh 1' said Caesar, too dazed to ut
ter an intelligible word.
The 'aincestor' continued : 'lts feet
has as many toes on each foot as a man
and long shai p claws on every toe ex
cept its inside one. It uses dat as a
thumb. It is a marsupial turkey, Cae
sar.' Here the ancestor smiled at the
towering proportions of his own learn
ing, but presently talked on.
'Alive it has an odor ye can't mis
take, an roasted be smells better nor a
flower garden. He's a bird worth giv
in' thanks over. Now, take dat ole,
droopio\ white folks' turkey back to
MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25., 1880.
his yowner, and go out ter-morrah and
git de 'possum, do 'rlginal turkey ob
old Vahginiah, de turkey of yer fath
ers'—and lo ! the ancestor vanished.
Perspiring at every pore Caesar Al
exander shouldered the turkey and
started toward Col. Fail grove's. Just
as tie was about to enter the yard,
through the break in the fence pre
viously made by himself, he felt anoth
er hand laid on his shoulder with con
siderable emphasis. Fearing that an
other and still more terrible ancestor
was about to have speech witli him, he
sank to the earth, without daring to
look around. Then the hand grabbed
him more tirmly and gave him a vigor
ous shake. He looked up. appealingly
and confronted the c instable. With a
groan he fainted dead away.
4 What ye groanin' and carrying on
like an animal fur ?' was the next
thing he heard. The question was
propounded iu his wife's most ungen
tle voice.
He opened his eyes slowly and in ab
ject fear, and found himself sitting by
his own fireside, the children in bed
and Mrs. ShKewell standing by him
with her hand on his shoulder. He
uever was so happy in his life. Col.
Fairgrove's turkey was safe where it
belonged ; he had never stolen it, and
he hadn't met any dead and gone an
cestor at all. only in dreams. Further
more, be inwardly lesolved that he
never would, if ancestors' visits only
followed thefts.
The next day when he set oft with
his gun he told Mrs. Shakewell that he
would briog home a 'Vahginiah' tur
key. And he did. lie held it up with
pride aud joy on his return, and was
rewarded by a smile from that exacting
lady.
The 'possum was eaten with gravy
and grace, and Mr. Shakewell's stand
ing in the community remained unim
paired. As he bent over his own
fragrant thanksgiving board he had
more than usual cuise for gratitude.
'Vahginiah turkeys was good enough
fer my fathers, and good 'nough ftr
me,' he often says ; but though he
sometimes tells of the encounter with
his ancestor, he never tells of the cause
of that worthy individual's visit to
him. MAX ELTON.
BLACK CHEWING GUM. Lately
there has crept into the Detroit mark
et a substance known as "black chew
ing gum,'' made out of tar, which is
said by medical men to be extremely
harmful and pernicious. It is becom
ing a great favorite with local gum
chewers, but physicians assert its use
is productive of sore mouths aud in
numerable throat diseases. Put up
in fancy 'paper, sold at a penny a
block, flavored with some unkuown
ingredient, and christened with a
sweetly-sounding name, as "luti-tuti,"
lor instance, the black chewing gum is
forcing its entrance into all grades of
Detroit society, and driving its rivals
to the wall. But it is nothing but
tar—cheap tar at that —mixed with
gelatine and flavored with—heaven
and the manufacturer only know
what.— Free Press.
A SHOWMAN CAUGHT.—A show
man was making a great fuss at the
front of his exhibition of the wonders
he had inside. A man standing in
the crowd, with a little boy beside
him, cried out : 'l'll bet you a dollar
you cannot let me see a lion.' 'Done,'
said the showman, eagerly; 'put down
your money.' The man placed a dol
lar in the hand of a bystander, and
the showman did the same. 'Now
walk this way,' said the showman,
'and I'll soon convince you. There
you are,' said he, triumphantly; 'look
in the corner at that beautiful Numi
dian lion.' 'I don't see any,' respond
ed the other. 'What's the matter
with you ?' asked the showman. 'l'm
blind,' was the grinning reply, and in
a few minutes the biind man pocketed
the two dollars and went away.

List Week's Tempest.
Vessels and Men go Down on
Lake Michigan.
A STORM THAT HAS DONE VAST DAM
AUK EAST AND WEST OF THE MIS
SISSIPPI,ON LAND AND WATER
AND BRINGS WINTER.
The first great galo and snow of
the season began in Dakota on Tues
day and swept eastward to the lakes.
Seven lives arc known to have been
lost by wrecks on Lake Michigan aud
many marine disasters are believed to
have occurred. The snow has largely
obstructed travel in the Northwest,
where the railroads have beeu blocked
by the suow.
Swamped in the Breakers.
SEAMEN DROWNED FROM SINKING
VESSELS ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
MILWAUKEE, NOV. 17.—While the
storm was at its height this moruing
the barge Dixou, which was one of
the tow of the steamer Justice Fields,
foundered off Kewannee, on the west
ern side of Lake Michigan, about one
hundred miles north of this city. Two
seamen were drowned. A few hours
later the Emerald, another of the
barges in tow of the fields, got into
the breakers and quickly swamped.
Five of her crew were swept away
and lost. Breview, the mate, was
saved in an unconscious condition.
The gale blew so terrifically that the
steamer was unable to save the bar
ges.
During a terrible gale and snow
storm last night the schooner P. S.
Marsh, loaded with coal, ran on the
beach near Graham's Point, in the
Straits of Mackinac, between Lake
Michigau and Lake Huron. The cap
tain signaled at ten o'clock this morn
ing that she would soon go to pieces.
Help has been sent for, but it will be
impossible to do anything to help the
vessel to-day on account of the big
seas, to which she iays broadside and
which are momentarily growing larg
er. Another schooner is ashore a
cross the point four miles from St.
Ignace.
An Early Blizzard.
HEAVY SNOW FROM DAKOTA TO LAKE
MICHIGAN —TRAVEL IMPEDED.
CHICAGO, NOV. 17.— N0 such storm
as that of to-day Ims been known
throughout the Northwest so early in
the season for many years. In this
city a steady rain has been falling
since 7 o'clock last night and prevails
generally between here and the Mis
sissippi river, west of which there is a
heavy sncw and howling blizzard,
seriously delaying telegraphic com
munication in all directions. At St.
Paul the suow was continuous yester
day, growing heavier after midnight,
and this morning the people found the
streets so badly blockaded that travel
was next to impossible. The blizzard
began in Dakota and swept east and
south through Minnesota, Wisconsin,
lowa,Northern Illinois and Michigan.
At Sioux Falls, Dakota,the snow con
tinued for eighteen hours and the
temperature fell to zero. On the Illi
nois Central Railroad, between Fort
Dodge and Sioux City, the cuts are
filled with snow and snow plows have
been sent out to clear- the tracks.
Trains are impeded cn many roads
and the blizzard is moving eastward,
bringing the snow and falling ther
mometer with it.
At St. Paul at 9 o'clock* to-night
the storm had raged forty-eight hours
and showed no signs of abatement.
Street cars have not been runrii og in
either St. Paul or Minneapolis to-iay
and trains on all railroads are from
three to six hours late. While the
3torm seems to be general throughout
the Northwest it is most violent in
Southern Dakota. A Sioux Ftdls
special says that more snow has al
ready fallen than during the entire
season last winter. The wind is blow -
ing a heavy gale from the north and
the snow is drifting very badly.
Trains on nearly all the roads are a
bandoned. TLe temperature is at ze
ro and falling. There is also strong
electrical disturbance. Other points
state that the storm is no less seyere.
A train with one hundred passeng
ers on board is snowed in eleven
miles west of Canton, Dak. The
passengers are being fed from a small
station near by. The Milwaukee
Railway is lined with dead engines in
snow drifts.
FOR WHAT SHALL WE BE
THANKFUL.
Some Old, Oft Repeated Questions,
andTheirUnfashionable Answers.
'For what shall we he thankful V
say the sorrowing. 'Grief abideth
with us, and in our hearts is the bitter
ness of cotinuued trouble.'
'For what shall we be thankful ?'
say the poor. 'The earth overllows
with plenty, but we are destitute.
Cold and hunger is our portion, and
want is our companion all the days of
the year.'
'For what shall wo be thankful V'
say the hopeless. 'The days go on,tut
they bring us no joy. The sun and
moon traverse the heavens without
warming our chilled hearts or lighting
our dark pathway.'
'For what shall we be thankful V
say the disappointed. 'Wherever we
tuin, there, waiting lo dishearten us,
lurks disappointment. When we rise
he it is that causes us agaiu to fall.'
'For what shall we be thankful ?'
say the tempted, the mistaken, the
fallen. 'Our temptations have over
come us ; our mistakes have destroyed
us ; our sine have crushed us. For us
there is nothing left but wretchedness.'
'For what shall we be thankful ?'
say the baffled. 'When we strive we
fail ; when we pray uo answer comes ;
when we hope our hopes are never re
alized ; wheu we love our loves are lost
to us.'
'For what 'shall we be thankful i"
say the bereaved. 'Death has robbed
us and left us moaning. Our sore
hearts cannot take up the cry of rejoic
ing, for we weep uucomforted.'
'For what shall we be thankful V
say the sick. 4 We suffer and know no
ease. We are full of anguish night and
day.'
4 For what shall we be thankful V
say the persecuted. 4 Our enemies out
number us ; our burdens are greater
than we can bear.'
'For what shall we be thankful ?'
say the weaiy, the wounded, the forsa
ken, the heavy of heart. 4 For us there
is no rest, no happinens, no help.
Weariness is our portion and burdens
our inheritance. We have no cause
for rejoicing from the beginning of the
year to the end.'
For these, for all these, it is written:
'Rest in the Lord. Oh, rest in the
Lord. Walt patiently for Ilim and He
shall give thee thy heart's desire.'
To these, to all these, the promise
has been given. To these, the words
from a plain old sermon come with
power to heal : 'There is heaven to be
thankful for. Whatever sorrows be
reave us here, whatever fatal mis
takes darken our lives, whatever irre
deemable losses befall us, we may yet
rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for
him in the little life that remains ; for
beyond this world's gain or loss, high
in the serene air of heaven, when ex
istence ceases to be a lesson and be
comes vivid life, there and only there
shall lie give us onr heart's desire in
its immortal fullness. Here knowl
edge is deQled, love is imperfect, purity
the result of fiery trial, wealth rusted
into covetousness ; but in heaven is
the very native country of pure knowl
edge, perfect love, utter siulessness,and
riches that neither mot nor rust cor
rupt, that bless and curse not.'
Another Storm Predicted.
It seems that another storm period
will occur next month,if Professor Fos
ter knows anything about such things,
lie publishes his prediction of a great
storm period, extending from Decem
ber 4th to 17th, during which will oc
cur some of the most destructive whi
ter storms of recent years. Heavy
snow and high winds will greatly im
pede railroad travel and he advises the
railways to prepare for blockades that
will occur in',the western states about
December sth and reach the eastern
states December 9th. He suggests that
many lives and much property can he
saved from loss by making preparations
for the severe weather of this storm
period.

KIDNAPPED.
There was nothingfnew in the plot of
the desperate villains who sought to ex
tort money from Mr. Hoss by stealing
his son Charley. The kidnapping of
children for the sake of gain or revenge
has been practiced for hundreds of
yeais. There are doubtless to-day in
this country a score or more of Charley
Hoss cases, but as the parents are not
rich and prominent, and the search not
aided by legislative action and the unit
ed press,they are seldom heard of by the
great public.
The case of Willie Albright, an Eng
lish lad, was full of strange id ventures,
lie lived at Sheffield with his parents
until live years of age. His father was
employed in a great factory there and
his mother was a dressmaker for the
neighborhood. They lived in a cottage
in the suburbs of the town, and at the
age of lour the boy was permitted to
run about the neighborhood a good
deal. At five, when he was kidnapped,
he was sent to the stores to make pur
chases, and knew all the streets clear
to the factory in which his father work
ed. One diy in 1861, about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, he was sent to a store
three blocks away after some buttons.
Before lie reached it a strange man ac
costed hi til and asked his name. He
then gave Willie some sweetmeats and
asked him to go and look at a Bunch
and Judy show in the town, promising
to return with him iu a half hour. The
boy eagerly set off with him, and was
taken to the railroad depot and placed
on a train iu charge of a middle-aged
woman,who gave him some more sweet
meats and was yerv kindly spoken. She
said the show had moved away and
they were going after It, and the novel
ty of the child's position prevented him
feeling any anxiety. When the detec
tives came to take the case up, as they
did two days after the boy disappeared,
they got no clue whatever. Although
he had walked a mile or two hand in
hand with the abductor along crowded
streets, nonody remembered seeing the
pair. They had gone openly to the
railroad station, but no one there had
noticed them. The guard on the train
dimly remembered a woman and a child
in a compartment, but could give no
discription. As the Albrights were
poor and low'y, no great stir was creat
ed, aud no great effort was made by the
detectives to restore tbe boy to bis par
ents.
The boy was taken from Sheffield to
Liverpool, being so well treated on the
way that he had no thought of his
home. At Jayerpool he was told that
his name was John Manton, and that
the woman was his raoilier. V\ hen lie
disputed the point he was soundly
whipped. His hair were cut close, his
dress entirely changed, and a liquid
was rubbed on his skin which turned it
dark Except when he asked to go
home, or denied that his name was
Jonn Manton, he was kindly treated,
and alter he had been beaten seven or
eight times he accepted the new name,
and ceased to refer to his parents.
Young as he was this was a stroke of
policy on his part. He realized that he
had been stolen from home.and he kept
repeating to himself that his true name
was Willie Albiight, and that lie lived
at Sheffield.
Alter a couple of* weeks lessons in
tumbling and tight-rope walking were
given to the boy. lie was never per
mitted to go out alone or to converse
with strangers, and it soon came natu
ral for him to call the woman mother.
In the course of a couple of months the
past seemed a dream to him, and he
would have forgotteu all about it had
tie not kept repeating to himself: U 1
am not Johnny Manton,but Willie Al
bright, and they stole me away from
Sheffield." lie was in Liverpool six
weeks before he knew the name of the
city. When he had been taught how
to dance, sing, tumble, and walk a
tight rope—a matter of three months'
time—he was taken around the country
with a small show, which the woman
owned in part. The novelty of travel
was so agreeable that he almost torgot
his situation, and was for two or three
years quite coutent. There was no one
to teach him how to read or write, but
he was quick-witted, and could reason
beyond liis years. lie had hopes that
the show would some day reach Shef
lield, and he would slip out and run
home,but the people of course carefully
avoided the place. Once, when they
were showing at Doncaster,a few miles
away, Willie observed a man whose
face had a familiar look, gazing at him
in an honest manner, and presently
heard liim say to a friend :
"The laddie keeps me thinking of the
child who was stolen away from neigh
bor Albright; tut of course it can't be
the one."
The boy was about to call out Iba
his name was Willie Albright, when
the woman, who always kept an eagle
eye on him, came closer, and intimidat
ed him. The show then hurridly pack
ed up and left the place. The boy now
realized more fully than ever that his
right name was Albright, and that he
had been stolen from home, but he also
realized his hopelessness. He had been
told that if he eyer tried to runaway,

wild animals would pursue and devour
him, and lie was in mortal terror of a
bulldog which followed the show. He
therefore humbly obeyed all orders, and
made no move to run away. He was
about eight years old when he changed
masters, being sold for a good round
price to a man who called himself Prof.
Williams. This man was a ventrilo
quist and juggler, and lie took the hoy
to Australia with him, and gave hall
performances for a year or so. They
then returned, and made the tour of
Scotland and Ireland, and sailed for
America. Albright was about eleven
yeais old when he landed in New York.
The Professor then took the name of
Ea Pierre, though he was no French
man in look or speech, and trayeled for
a year. One day as they were filling a
date at Cedar ltapids, lowa, the boy
was sent to the postofiice with letters,
and a curious thing happened. One of
the four boys who had witnessed the
performance the night previous made
up to liirn in a friendly way, and asked
his name.
••Johnny Manton," was the reply.
"Yes, but that is your stage name.
What is the other ?"
"Willie Albright."
"That's funny. A family named Al
bright live next door to us. They lived
in England."
"So did I."
"Maybe you are related. I'm going
to tell 'era about you."
Two Lours later a man and his wife
called at the hotel and asked for the
boy, and the mother had no sooner set
eyes on him than she hugged him to
her heart. The fathcr|was longer mak

feel certain that John Manton was
WiHie Albright and the boy who had
been stolen from him seven or eight
years before. The parents had been in
America three years, aud had long be
fore given up all hopes of ever hearing
from the child. The professor made a
great kick,as his bread and butter were
at stake, but when he found tlie people
determined to have justice done he slip

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
The Limited Express Struck By
Rolling: Rocks.
PITTSBURG, NOV. 18.—The heavy
rains of last night caused a most dis
astrous landslide from Mt. Washing
ton, on the south side of the Mononga
hela river, the sides of which are al
most perpendicular, and along the base
of which the Pan-Handle Railroad is
constructed. The Limited Express on
the Pan-Handle Road, due in the city
at 9.40, had reached a place just beyond
the Poiut Bridge, one mile from Union
Station, when a mass of rock came
crashing down the hillside. The train
consisted of three Pullman cars, in ad
dition to several mail cars. The first
sleeper w*s the Cincinnati,and the sec
ond ai.d third from ludianapolis. The
first mass struck the Cincinnati sleep
er, crushing through the roof near the
centre. This car had yery few passen
gers in, and nearly all of them were up
and in the lavatories. D. Aruheim, of
this city, was standing in the isle and
was crushed beneath a huge rock. Mr.
A. S. Bennet, of Nsw York, was still
iu his berth and a mass crushed
through the upper berth, carried it
down upon him, and pinned him be
neath it. The second car was struck
in tne centre, one huge rock going
through from one side to the other,and
tearing out nearly the entire side of the
car. The other car was also badly
crushed. Nearly the entire mass re
mained on the cars, and as the track
was but very little obstructed the con
ductor ordered the engineer to pull opt
for the Union station as rapidly as pos
sible. A telephone message bad been
sent giving information of the acci
dent. By the time the train pulled
into the station the entire force
of employes was ready to assist in re
moving the injured from the cars,
stretchers and all other requirements
as well as a force of physicians, being
on hand. The cars were in such a con
dition that they could be brought in,
but the presence of miad of the con
ductor was most commendable. The
injured were removed as rapidly as
possible and conveyed to hotels near at
hand and made as comfortable as possi
ble. The accident caused great excite
ment. When the news was first an
nounced the most exaggerated repoita
gained currency. The passengers gave
some most graphic descriptions of the
scenes in the different sleepers at the
time of the accident, and the only won
der is that every one aboard was not
killed 01 injured. The casualties thus
far number eight, two of whom, D.
Arnheim, of Allegheny, and A. S.
Bennet, of New York, are likely to die.
The scene where the accident occurred
is one of the most dangerous along the
line of the road, but it is so caiefuily
watched, especially after heavy rain
falls, that no accidents to trains have
occurred at that point for a
years.
