I Editor Ail vocal'.': In tlu* days of slavery there existed what was known as the tmdeiground I railroad, li wie supposed to he a s-. bterranean passage from the Sooth to th^ North an.i its peculiarity was that travel upon it was only in one direction. People eauie Ir.'tu the South to the N< rth hy this route, hut nohody vvtis ever known to travel in the conirury direction anil the people. i spec- j i.i I i j oil t lie ot ll> T side o! the Atlantic,! seriously hehev? d there \va> an under- | ground railway line from the Southern j stales to the Canadian lioulicr. itw-sj ol t ?ii asked about its mode of operat ion i The underground railway was nothing more ilian an organised plan fori assist ing runaway slaves in obtaining! their freedom. Thousands of men, women ami children escaped Irotn ! b tidagc through its aid. The anti | slavery society in the Northern cities' had a great deal to do with this work. Sometimes a man would be I boxed up ami shipped as a packa e ol I freight or conceal himself in a north | bound ship or steamer, .-s mclimeshe would disguise himself in woman's ! dress and sometimes women weie dis-| g'lised as men. Passes were obtained ' t lirotigh friends, some genuine, some ficticious and some forged. Men and Women traveled thousands of miles on foot at night, concealing themselves I by day. Many wete tne sufferings tliev underwent and danger also to those aiding them to escape. Some nicn sp-nt many jcars in prison for aiding runaway slaves. In 18-VJ a merchant ot Itiehiuond would sell oil' his slaves when short ol money, and one of them leariug the auction block inipic. d a friend to box him up and send him'North. He ivas shipped by steani' er to Pluladelpbi.t to a parly who knew h? was turning. The box \\::s not large enough lor him to stretch Ins liiutis in ?:iil lie sutl'ere I great.

Another of these travelers was sent by rail and his parcel was marked, "this side up with earn." The njarJk was Ht t le heeded. Un one occasion IjV was elt standing on his bead an Jiotir or inoi i and when the box was p it in its proper | o-iti-.n lie was almost dead from a rush of blood to the brain, J lu ' box was three feel long, two feet wide j and two feet eight inches in depth. 11" j was II hours in t ransiL and said lie was j .".ever handled so roughly in ln? life, i The party to whom he was consigned j had trouble getting the box I rum the [ agent.
