One often reads of how some criminal who has escaped from prison and justice, wanders over the- world but is inevitably drawn back to. the scene of his incarceration and being tired in body and mind from his efforts to escape the clutches of the law, sur renders himself to the "authorities and goes back, to serve out his sentence and go forth a free man. Such occurredin this city yesterday morning when Randolph Williams and Andrew Crumby, two young white men who claim Wilmington as their home, walked into the City Hall, inquired for Chief of Police 'Lupton and when es corted before this official told him they were escaped prisoners from the New Hanover county clain gang and wanted to be returned to serve out their sen tence. " So seldom -does such an incident occur, that Chief Lupton was at. first incredulous but decided latter that the men's story was true and placed them in the county jail for safe .keeping until the sheriff of. New Hanover could be communicated .with. . Williams and- Crumby tell a story of hardship and .suffering since their escape . Alraid to go out -..among., t he public oh account pf possible detection thy, often wenc hungryV' Sq, Jades- perat ion they decided to "end tfie-4js-j pense by giving themselves up afid returning to finish out their.' Uneijjiyed sentence. A telegram received last night from the sheriff of New Hanover county, stated that he would arrive in New Bern today and take ihem in charge.- A QUEEN'S WOOING. New York World. What Queen Victoria considered "the happiest, brightest moment of my life," the acceptance of her royal heart and hand by Prince Albert, i6 described with naive candor in passages from her diary now made public for the first time1. After six month's deliberation over the choice of a consort, the young Queen informed Lord Melbourne that the had "made up her mind to marry dearest Albpt." The auspicious occasion for the proposal arrived when the Prince came to make a visit: How it was deuie the Queen tells in the entry in her diary under date of Oct. 15, 1813: ' At about half past 121 sent for Albert. He came tothe closet where I was alone, and after a few minutes I said to him that I thought he must be aware why I -wished him to cdme here, and that it would make me too happy if he would consent to what I wished to marry me. We embraced each other and he was so kindjand affectionate. ' How completely the Queen assumed the masculine role'of wooer is shown by her statement that "I told him 1 was quite unworthy of him" and that "it was a great sacrifice," which the gallant Pnnce "would not allow." , '. Was ever royal husband in this humor wooed? The exercise of the monarch's prerogative was tactfully effected with out sacrifice of the maiden's modesty, and the incident, by trie lighthrown ojl the feminine .nature of Queen Victoria, helps to account for the deep affection in which Jier subjects held her. t;, , ,- h,: , - ..

Bryce made his escape from the county jail a short time after incarceration and has so far eluded capture.

(Commu mealed. ) The Thanksgiving Proclamation of the President, which has just been pub lished to the people of this great country, calling upon us to stop our usual vo cations long enough to consider from whence comes the unprecedented pros perity which we as a nation have been enjoying, comes with a voice of author ity. Truly every heart -can find gen uine gratitude to the great Giver of all good. While your minds are directed to the consideration of the Source from whence these blessings come, and a feeling of thanksgiving is thereby engendered for the goodness of our Heavenly Father, we feel that this is the best time to bring to the attention of our readers the needs of the various orphan homes in our State where the little ones who have lost their earthly protectors are being cared for and trained. These children receive the great bless ing of these homes through your gener osity. They are dependent upon you. Their numbers are increasing, as are the advantages they receive, which necessi tate larger contributions from the peo ple. God has blessed our people and he expects us in turn to help bless our horn e- less little ones. Nobly have t,he people of North Caro lina measured up to their duty in this re gard in the 'past, and we believe they will not beany less mindful pf the needs of our orphan children this thanksgiving season than they have been in the past.
