that she Is not by marriage isolated from the re

the alarms of jealousy, and on the other hand has

The last relic OF slavery in Rhode
Island has disappeared. In the
census Of 1S40, five slaves were re-
ported from that State. In the next
census none were reported, the five
being either dead or mnnumitted.
The last of the number, Jennie
Hazard, was buried on the Goth uit.,
at Newport, r. l., having died at the
age of ninety-siX years. She was
born the slave of Jonathan Easton,
and served the Hazard family through
three generations. For years she
was supported by the Representatives
Of thar family. The census of 1910,
which reported five slaves in Rhode
Island, also reported seventeen in
Connecticut, 33l in Illinois, three in
India, sixteen in Iowa, one in New
Hampshire, four in Now York, three
in Ohio, sixty-four in Ponnsylyania,
and eleven in Wisconsin. New Jer-
sey had GA. In 1850, all these had
disappeared from the census except
23G from from New Jersey. In 1860,
this number had dwindled to eight.

Yesterdays Havana telegram that
there, was another Mexican revolution
and that President Juarez was flying
to the Texas frontier, with $1,000.
600 in his possession, is rendered
very dubious by the last mentioned
circumstance. tits many q day since
the Mexican treasury contained
81, 1000, 900. Ever since Juarez was
reinstated at the capital, his Govern
ment has been pinched for very
small sums of money, and the recent
report of Senor Romero shows that
there was daily struggle to prevent
collapse through bankruptcy. It is
perfectly true that plots have lately
been hatching against Juarez, and If
revolution should overtake him as
suddenly as it has overtaken some of
his. predecessors, it would be no
special cause of wonder. Only o few
weeks ago, a daring attempt was
made to assassinate him, and the
investigation showed that the con-
spiracy extended to his own house
hold, and was participated in by some
of his most trusted supporters.

Nature and history curiously ap-
proved each others records in the
cage of ai o!I elm tree, cut iown in
Boston the other day. The town
record shows that the elm was plant
ed by vote of the town of Boston in
the year 1733-that is, 134 years ago :;
and the annual layers or rings of the
tree, which were plainly visible after
its trunk had been severed, we're
counted to the number of 1874, thus
exactly corresponding with the date
at which it was planted. 1t appears
that some of the incidents of history

And still fiatsercd down the snow.

And the sudden hurries Of snow birds,
Ike brown leaves whirling bv.

Where a little head-stons stovj,
How the fakes were folding 10 gently.
As did robins the babes in tina wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel.
Saying, "lxfher. who makes II SNOWY
And told her Of the good All father,
Who cares for us all below.

That iell from that closd like snow,
Flake by fake. healing and hiding

And again to the child 1 whispered,
"The snow that husheth all,

Alone can make it fall
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she. kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
