One of the strangest sects in. the United States, whose existence was until recently practically almost unknown, axe the Hinkleyites, who occupy a small settlement among Pennsylvania's Mils a few miles from the New York state line, not far from the city of Binghamton. There, strange as it may seem in these hard times, money is a drug on the market, and yet the inhabitants are contented and happy.

I am the only man, perhaps, now liying, that can make this statement from his own knowledge of what occured inside of jail.

Large numbers of the slave population of Missouri found their way to Lawrence, in 1858, and to prevent a slave hunt, they were sent North. John Doy, Charles Doy and Wilbur Clough, started with thirteen of these people. They were betrayed by a man named James Huzzy, and captured, twelve or thirteen miles from Lawrence, and taken to Missouri. Clough was liberated at Weston, Missouri, on their arrival at that place. Doy and his son were examined, and then committed to the Platte county jail, to await trial.

Charles was soon after released, and after a time, the doctor obtained a change of venue to Buchanan county, where he was tried twice, the jury not agreeing the first time, and sentenced to five years in the state prison. Exceptions were taken by his counsel, and thirty days allowed to take the case before the supreme court. The court failed to receive or showy manner to suit the ensemble of the shop.

Slayback had become further acquainted with the situation, and did not look as well pleased as when we went upstairs. 'AH our party had left the room. I felt the necessity of securing our retreat to the river without interruption to be of great importance, and stepped up to Messrs. Brown and Slayback and informed them that I should place a strong guard around the house, and if they attempted to give an alarm from either door or window it would be at their peril. I gave them this information out of regard for them as gentlemen.

After this kind advice, bidding them good night, I left them, shutting the door behind me. That door was not opened till morning, as Mr. Brown assured Mr. Bullene, now of Kansas City, and that there were more than a hundred men around the house all night. I soon rejoined the party, and we were moving towards the river.

We were not gone far before two watchmen came up a cross street with their lanterns, and fell in behind us, following to the river, where they stood with their light till we got off, supposing that we were citizens from Elwood, on the other side of the river.

Be "ore us stood the jail, double-doored and barred, with two men and two women known to be in the house, besides watchmen on the street. We were three-fourths of a mile from the river, in the midst of a population of eleven or twelve thousand people, hostile to us. If were taken, we knew our doom.

The inquiry of how to accomplish our object in the minds of all seemed unanswered. At this point, I suggested a plan that I thought would succeed. I offered it for the consideration ot the company. 1 would follow any one that would undertake its execution. But I was, by the unanimous vote of the party, declared the one to test the plan of operations 1 had suggested.

Two men were called for. Joseph Gardner and Thomas Simmons, being the largest of our party, were selected. My plan was this: I was to introduce a thief, taken in the act of stealing a horse, near Savannah, and wishing to have him secured in jail until morning when we would appear against him. I bound Simmons with the lariat of my slung-shot (made in an egg shell for the occasion,) leaving the shot in his right hand, ready for use when needed. Gardner was to act the assistant.

With these preliminaries, we left the rest of the party concealed beside the fence surrounding the Jail. When I knocked at the door of the house of the jailor, which was in the same building with the jail, he was upstairs, in bed, but soon threw up the window, and inquired who we were and what we wanted. 1 told my story.

EDUCATED, BUT CANNOT READ. Brooklyn Woman Who LctrsM, Listening- to Others. The wonderful development of certain faculties in the cases of persona who have lost the use of some of thar natural functions, or of others whe faculties have not been fully has long beeu a matter of remark, tetft it is not alone the outsidle observk who appreciate the provisions of ik ture for the benefit of the unfortiii-ates. The sufferers themselves otjg appreciate this fully, and in soiji Instances, after years, grow to ot pend so much upon their acquired faculties as to be afraid, of a change, even if they have the chance of one. An illustratloirof this is given by a woman in Brooklyn who never has learned to read or write.

In no way could one discover this except by -her own adtmlsfilon, or by putting her to a direct test, for she is one of the best educated women in the country, conversant with languages, art, literature and all the current topics of the day. She is rich, too, and could afford all the services of the best teachers if she chose to learn to ready but she refuses to do so. When this woman was a child hex parenits. lived far from schools, so she had no chanc them to learn to read! or write. As a mare 'child she began to earn her own living, and' again the chance for schooling slipped away.

Then she married, and the cares of a family took up her time. By the time the babies were off her hands her husband had grown rich, andi then she began her real education, and, now, eb a widow, she continues it. Her companions read to her and talk with her about all the topics which interest her. Years of such work have stored her mind with a rich treasure of knowledge, and there is not a page of a book that has been read to her that she is not familiar with; her stores of knowledge are at hex instant command. Why will she not leam to read? Because, she says, she fears that this wonderful memory, which is now such a treasure house to her, might be impaired if she were to do anything to weaken the demands upon it.

SLAVE TRADE IN MOROCCO. Govermment Officials Wlalc at the DU-vracefal Traffic Iiate accounts from Morocco ehow that the Moors still carry on slave trading at the very doors of western civilization. A powerful administrator of the Gharb district, named El-Ameen-Oold-el-Dawia, recently purchased three slaves, one of them being a handsome looking woman of about 27 years, for which, this official paid 22.

This slave buyer is a persona grata at the shereefian court and makes presents to influential court personages. At times these distinguished courtiers find they possess more slaves than they require, so they send these wretched beings to the "public auction market" in the capital, and generally obtain good prices for them. Generally the slavea are taken from negro families that have been brought up from their childhood in Morocco, and dealers are continually bringing others from the Soos provinces. At least two dealers journey to Tangier itself twice a year, bringing boys and girls, who are sold privately to the rich Moors of that city. Moorish government officials do not stop this disgraceful traffic through the Soos provinces, nor prevent the sale of slaves in the chief centers of Moorish civilization.

Through the measures by the late Sir John Drnmmond Hay In 1885, while British minister at Tangier, public sale of slaves was forbidden in the Tangier city, but public sales of slaves are still allowed in every places and even in Tangier, though greatly lessened sales are regularly effected privately.

But a few weeks ago a number of robbers planned an attack on the hut, attempting1 to get the money and securities in the place.

There are few things more deplorable tian the amount of money and time wasted in the effort to over-ornament gowns, undergarments and clothing of whatever kind or for whatever purpose. If this folly were committed by women of wealth we might have the consolation of remembering that it furnished many needv persons with work, and while we might deprecate the taste we could approve the result. However, this is not the case, as a most casual examination of the ready-anade goods of the shops will convince the most skeptical.

For, as a rule, the more costly the goods the simpler and plainer the cut, and the less elaborate the ornament. Women of wealth and refinement have long ago discarded elaborate underwear with elaborate street gowns. Even their evening gowns are frequently characterized by a simplicity of cut and material which, would hardly satisfy a country girl, who often scorns the simplicity of the lilies, and aims to array herself in purple and fine linen on the most paltry occasions.
