The Fenian chief, Stephens, is said
to have left New York, but how or where is
not stated.
A humber of persons accused of Fen
ianism have been arrested in Limerick, and
large quantities of pixies and other arms
seized by the authorities.
1t is rumOred that heavy cOncentra-
ton Of troops in Toronto is about to COM
mence, in view of the near approach of the
18th Of December, the day fixed for the exc
cutiOn Of the Fenians.
A decidedly bitter feeling is growing
up between the Catholics and Professionals OF
Canada East, which feeling is intensified by
the discussion of the merits OF the Fenian
cases soon to come of in that section. In
the midst Of a neWy fledged Fenian excite
ment, in the shape Of a second invasion by
the Fenian Stephens, prominent divine adj
vOcates in the most OutspOken language his
belief in the policy and necessity Of Canadian
annexation with the United States.

who as scholar, an essayist, and
man of general ability, as regards pub
lie affairs, has had very few superiors
in Massachusetts,. He was an uneasy
and ambitious politician, offended the
Wings by leaving them, and somehow
never could gain favor with the Demo
Gratis after he got into their party. He
tried hard to be elected to Congress
from Massachusetts, and would have
made figure in that body had ne sue
ceeded. But the Wings always block
ed his game, and the Democrats used
to scratch his name largely from their
ticket. In his latter years, Mr.. Polk
or Mr.. Pierce, Il forget which, made
him minister to China, and he died IN
that country. Mrs. Hale was the moth

fortuitous circumstances have prevented
from being exercised to advantage. a
woman who was akin to, and the parent
of so much brains, must in herself have
been something remarf able; but the
world knew nothing of Mrs. Hale. Her
husband was a man of strong good sense
and great industry and appli cation, but
without the least semblance of anything
like brilliancy. 1t was under him that
the Advertiser gained its reputation for
being slow and sure. Speaking of the
style of news it used to publish, there
was a conundrum that went the rounds.
"Why is the Advertiser like Sherman's
Poor Mans Plaster?" because it is
good for a lceek hack" It's character is
bravely altered since then.

A Human Curiosity.

Hamilton, Ohio, has a relic Of the
past. 1t exists, or rather he exists, IN
the person of an old negro, Familiarity
known as Tom. A regular, genuine
African negro is Tom: not one of the
half cOlored evidences of Southern civ
ilization, but a thorough Guinea negro,
with the thick lips and fiat nose beto
kening his origin, and with all the &C.
centricities of speech, action and man
ner characteristic of his race. He was
brought to this country in a SLAYER,
some time near the close of thelast cen
tury, though at what precise time it is
difficult to say, as Toms ideas regard
ing dates are rather confused. Indeed,
it is impossible to fix upon his precise
age. Ia reply to a query upon tnis
point he "reckoned that he must be
bout five hundred" But, Judging
from other data, it is probable that Tom
is somewhere between ninety-five and
one hundred years of age. He was pre-
sent at the surrender of CORVALLIS,
which occurred in 1871, or eighSy-five
years ago. He says he was I" right
smart of a boy" at that time, and allow
ing his "right smart" TO be ten years,
it would make Tom ninety five years
old, which is probably not far from the
actual age of this venerable and VERT
able descendant of Ham.
The chief interest attaching to Tom
is the fact that he was present at the
historical event above named, where he
saw General Washington, OF whom his
recollection is quite distinct and his adj
miratiOn intense. He is duly sensible
that there are few. if, indeed, a single
person now surviving who witnessed
that scene, and 1t cOnlers upon him no
small sense OF importance. He was
owned at that time by a planter living
in the vicinity Of Yorktown, whittier he
had been brought soon after landing
from the slaver at some point on the
Carolina coast.
As might be expected from the ma
ture and character of the African, the
imposing display attendant upon the
surrender made deep impression upon
his memory, and he relates wi h con-
siderable minuteness the details OF the
affair. The red coats of the British
particularly struck his fancy, and he
describes with much gusto and salts
faction the ceremony of grounding
arms" giving an illustration of the GER
emony with his iron-pointed walking
staff. Washington passed near where
Tom was standing on the occasion,
mounted, he says, on a white horse,
and looking mighty grand.
From his earnestness and minuteness
of description, it is clear Tom is a truth
full witness, and, perhaps, the only one
left in the land. He is still stout, con-
sideriug his advanced age, and bids
fair to live ont another decade of WIN
ters. La pleasant weather he spends
much of his time summing himself IN
front Of saloon on High street, whose
friendly proprietor provides him with a
comfortable arm chair. He has a highly
developed taste for whisky, and no one
need complain of his refusal of an invi
tation. Altogether, Tom is a genuine
eccentricity and relict. Cincinnati Com.

1t is said that when recently in Eu-
rope, Beauregard had an interview with
Louis Napoleon, who asked his opinion
of the Prussian needle gun. Beaure-
gard told him that the needle guns were
humbug. "Why," said he, Zone of
the Confederate armies fought against
a much more effective weapon than that.
The Federal armies have the best guns
known. The needle gun has range of
only four hundred yards. The Prus-
sian columns could have been moved
down at a much greater range. The
General, as it is reported, went on to
show that the Austrians failed, not on
account of the superiority of the Prus-
sian arms, but of the inferiOrity of
their Generals
