BAOK TO THE OLD HOME, An Ex- Confederate Colonel Discove ers Hig Former Slaves in Toledo, A few days ago a reporter for the Toledo Blade noticed the familiar face of a prominent southern gentleman and ex-officer in the confederate army as he sat quietly enjoying a dish of strawberries in Col. Casebeer's cafe. The reporter stepped up to the gentleman, and, being recognited as a former acquaintance, was greeted with that warm cordiality which is a characteristic of the southerner. Upon being questioned as to the purpose of his wisit to this city the gentleman said that he was looking for his old family slave, whe until the beginning of the war, had presided, over the culinary department of his plantation. She left his household a few days after the emancipation proclamation, with several other colored people on the place, in the mad intoxication of the knowledge that they were Er and had been seen but once afterwardat the battle of Lookout mountain, where the colonel--for that was his rank--had been wounded.
The woman found him lying on the field in a pool of blood, too weak to move himself. She carried her old master in her arms to the hospital and placed him in care of the union soldiers and attended to him daily. One day, however, she was missed, and the colonel has not seen her since. He had made every effort to find the woman or some of her family, but no clew to their whereabouts could be learned until recently, when the colonel heard through an acquaintance of hers that she was in Toledo a year or more ago. He came to this city at once and was about to begin search for her when the reporter inet him.
The news gatherer offered his services in assisting the gentlemen in his search, and after consulting a directory, the two proceeded to the location given. Upon inquiring at the place it was found that the woman had moved, and they were directed to a small house in the 4th Ward, near the Clover Leaf track. The grayhaired colonel trembled as he rapped at the door, and was so filled with emotion that he could scarcely speak when the door was opened by a large colored woman cousiderably advanced in years. "Is this Mrs. inquired the gentle.
man, hut he scarcely had the words uttered when the old woman gave a cry, "Massa and then threw her big arms about his neck, while the tears poured in torrents down her Ebony cheeks. The scene was extremely atfecting. The old colored woman Jaughed and cried and shouted. massa! massa! I'se pow'ful glad to see yeah," and she hugged him again and again, though the gentleman enweavored to free himself from her, he could sot do so for minutes. Finally she Goosened her severala cried: "Missus--tell Ine 'bout missus.
Am she well? An' de chillen? Walter deme 'live? Oh! do Ret me see missus, an' dis old niggah wants ter die. Oh, de debble! de debble! I'se too pow'ful happy! ken shout! Glory! Glory And then there came another fit of laughing and shouting, bordering on bysterics. By this time the house was filled with darkies of all sizes and shades, male and female, gazing with wonder at the aged gentlemau, as he received his silk bat from the reporter, who picked it up when it fell at the first rush to arms. A short, thick-set old colgred man wobbled forward with the assistwace of a cane, and held out his hand to the guest, and could only mutter "Marserepealing his name. He sat upon a chair near by and like a child.
It was several minutes before the excitement could be subsided enough for explanation. The woman would not wait for answers to her questions, but poured them out as fast as her tongue, could utter them. She looked inguringly the reporter and started to embrace him, thinking him one of the grown- up children of her old master, but the reporter saved himself just in time by saying "No, auntie, I live in Toledo, and simply helped Col. you. It was nearly fifteen minutes before the gentleman was able to state that he had been trying to find his old slaves ever siuce the war.
He wanted them to go back with him and told, them to get themselves ready to leave him the next evening for the old plantation. The old servant told her story. She was assisting union soldiers in the hospital when she found her master lying on the field at Lookout mountain. She attended to as long as but was finally compelled to leave him. When she left they told her that he was unconscious and would soon die.
She heard afterward that he was dead, and though she tried to find her misthe lady moved to. She and husband, tress after the war she never a learned where unlike many slaves, found each other, and have lived with their children in 3 town Georgia until a year ago, when they got as far as Toledo while searching for a child who was sold before the war, and were compelled to stop here for want of means to go farther or return home. The gentleman's proposition to take his former slaves back to their old plantation met with instantaneous and hearty approbation, and it was arranged that they leave for Cincinnati the following night. Dinah could not contain her joy, and insisted that she was happier than if she were in heaven, and she looked it every bit. As the colonel and the reporter walked back to the Boody house the former said that he could not help sharing the joy felt by his old slaves.
They had been good servants, and were very faithful, and would never have deserted him under ordinary circumstances. It was under a mental excitement that they were carried away during a general exodus of negroes from that locality in the delirium of freedom. The reporter asked permission to publish the occurrence and it was granted upon the condition that no names be used. The colonel is a proud man, and it is hard for him to take the defeat of the late war, and though he is now a loyal unioinst be loathes publicity, and it is at his earnest request that all names are omitted. A Fast War- Vessel.
The latest addition to our navy is the Stiletto, built by the Herreshoffs, which has become famous on account of her speed-she having beaten the time of all the crack steam craft on the Atlantic coast. "Unlike her present and prospective companions of the new fleet," says the New York Times, "she is built of wood, whereas the new torpedo-boat to be constructed by the same firm for the navy will be of steel. The Stiletto is about 90 feet long by 11 beam, and has a mean draught of only three feet. Her displacement is only about $56 tons. She can make about 23 knots, with 560 indicated horse-power, and is a long way the fastest vessel of any sort in the navy, and the fastest that will be in it until the Herresboffs build another.
The Stiletto, in view of her size, will be rated as a second-class torpedo- boat. Her purchase was authorized by congress, the $25,000 being appropriated for that purpose, provided the secretary should find that a certain satisfactory speed was attained. lt was worth while to add almost any kind of 23-knot vessel to the navy, even if only for the sake of having those figures on the record. But the Stiletto should also prove very serviceable." Sting Him Up. "How much is my bill?" said a western man to a clerk of the Hoffman house in New York.
