Journey Of a Boy with His Crazy
Father.

Sam'l 81. johnson was an eccentric in
dividual, well-known in the region round
about Cairo. He had many peculiarities
of person and demeanor, which caused
him to be regarded as crazy man. he
had wife, and son, about seven years
old, both Of whom he treated with sffec-
ton. Early last summer, johnson and
his boy disappeared, leaving Mrs j. in
total ignorance of their whereabouts.
She had faith in her husband, however,
notwithstanding his unsettled condition
of mind, and entertained no fears either
for his safety or that of the boy. So time
passed on until short time ago Mrs.
johnson received letter, inclosiDg a
paragraph clipped from California
paper, stating that man answering the
description of her husband, accompanied
by seven year old boy, had been ar
rested as an insane person near Sacra-
mento, California. BE was ragged and
travel-worn, and the little boy was in
condition equally pitiable. The whole
distance from Cairo to California had
been made by them on foot They had
travelled steadily, begging food on the
way, sometimes fasting and thirsting
for days, but continuing their journey
the while, as if the route abounded
in plenty. Night and day, week
after week, the journey was pursued,
until the gap between them and home
had widened out to distance of more
than two thousand miles, closing the last
day with walk of over thirty miles.
Stopping for food and rest at residence
a few miles distant from Sacramento, the
man betrayed such unmistakable evil
dences ofinsanity that jury of inquest
was impenelled, and upon their verdict
he was admitted into the Stockton In
sane Asylum, where he now is.
The relatives of the unfortunate man
placed themselves in correspondence with
the keeper of the asylum, and by recent
mail received photograph of him, which
any one who knows him will recognize at
sight. The little boy speaks of Affection
ate and parental treatment during the
long and laborious journey, and of the
fathers frequent and remarkable self
denial, for his comfort.
We question it much if there is another
seven-year old boy living, who has made
on foot continuous journey of two thou
sand miles-no one, certainly, in charge
of crazy father.

aMr. Daniel Prince, of Agawam, who
will next month be eighty. five years old,
celebrated on Thursday, the seventeenth
anniversary of the day November ii,
1891 when he began to work at the arm
ory as an apprentice. With three old
friends-A AnseI Crawford, Richard Beebe
and Ezra Richmond-he had dinner
at the Eagle Hotel, on the hill, where
old times we're talked over and reviewed.
When Mr.. Prince went to the armory
there were seventeen apprentices en-
ployed, only two of whom-John Warner
an Oliver Allen-have descendants how
living in the city, 80 far as Mr.. Prince is
aware. David Ames, thsir first superin-
teudent, was in charge OF the armory,
and held the Office from 1874 to 1902,
aud Colonel Orr was master armorer.
Previous to 1893 there were only about
forty-fve workmen, but in that year the
works were enlarged, and so that two
hundred men we're soen after employed.
Ia those days apprentices were given
monthly rations and fifty cents month
for spending money. Several families
old settlers-then lived on the Govern
ment grounds, and boarding houses were
kept there by John Stebbins Gather OF
John B. S,ebbins and Thomas Dale
lombard Dsle's grandchildren each OF
whom led some twenty-five hungry arm
orers Ga being employed as q workman,
Mr.. Prince earned twenty-eigbt dollars
at piece-work the frat month, besides his
rations. The eight hour law was then
uuheard Of The shops were open ct
four o'clock in the morning, summer and
winter, and if they chose to do so, the
men c. uld come in and earn half dol
lar before breakfast. The workmen
could come and 60 pretty much as they
wished, and could work as late as halt
past eight at night. By industrious ap-
plication the fnishers, to which class
Mr.. Prince belonged, were able to earn
from forty to forty-fve dollars month:
Mr.. Prince worked at the srnory in all
thirty-four years, and under six superin-
tendents. No person is now living on
the hill, who was there when he first went
there"

THE GRAVE OF THE REBEL.
BY OSLANDO.

without a rose to breathe its balm
Around the rebels dreemless sleep,
without a star, when skies aae calm.
Its yigil.s DER the dead to keep,
This grave--this lone and silent grave
Is consecrated by the brave.
But is the gorgeous banner hung
With sword and wreath above his tomb?
For him hath Fame's proud trumpet rung?
For him do sacred laurels bloom!
Oh, no the rebel must not share
The trophies which the mighty bear
But when the banded patriots poured
Like dark plumed eaglss to the fight,
Whan drum and cannon wildly roared,
His spirit glowed with freedoms lighs !;
Release our native shrines or die"
Oh, how he swelled that fatal cry
But there was one whose beauteous eye
Diffused its brightest tears in vain,
And like q lute's unheeded sigh.
In silence breathed her plaintive strain;
His wife, unto whom was given
A heart that had its love from heaven.
Then why should cypress tree or rose,
With sunny light around them poured.
In this lone place their charms disclose,
Or consecrate broken sword2
No, tears that bless bat cannot save
Have sanctified the rebels grave,

~ The Rochester IN. " journals
tell the following story about Police
Justice Ryan of that city:
Testimony was being taken on the
value of watch, and watch peddler
who hailed from Syracuse was giving
his evidence, which was very much in
favor of defendants. He asserted that
the watch was a common affair, worth
but few dollars, when its real value
was over hundred dollars. To fur
Their test his judgment, a watch owned
by one of the policemen, and of the
value of two or three hundred dollars,
was shown him. He said it was worth
about one hundred dollars. There was
quite laugh raised against him,
which nettfed him, when he drew from
his vest an fashioned open-face
gold watch and handed it to Justice
Ryan, saying: "You all think you are
posted in watches; now there is good
looking watch, which you all will say
is worth hundred dollars-but will
sell it for twenty dollars" Justice
Ryan examined the watch carefully,
and then handed the witness twenty
dollar bill. The witness was very
much taken aback at this, and said he
did not Intend selling the watch--he
was only testing the knowledge of the
Justice as to the value of time pieces.
He was told the sale had been consum-
mated, when he pocketed the twenty
dollars and departed the court. The
watch is worth about eighty dollars.

~ The circumstances of the recent

Ey The circumstances of the recent
cOnfagration among the shipping ut
Bordeaux, were these. One of the
crew of barge loaded with petroleum,
which was lying in close proximity to
several other petroleum loaded YES
sells, carelessly threw down lighted
lucifer match, when the petroleum in
stantly caught fire. To avert. the per-.
il to which the other vessels were ex-
posed, the fastenings of the barge were
cut and she was taken to the bank of
the river, some distance from the ship
ping, so that she might burn out with
out danger. But unfortunately the
rising tide swamped her, and the burn
ing fluid, floating on the surface of the
water, was carried up among the yes
sells in the port in the very heart of the
town. One by one they caught fire,
until about III o'clock at night there
were at least fifteen vessels in flames,
all of them over 1000 tuns burden
Most of them were laden with cargoes,
as those which escaped, being lighter,
their copper Shooting was of course
some feet above the level of the water,
and helped toprotect them. But little
could be done to extinguish the flames,
as there are no steam fire engines in
Bordeaux, and the hand pumps were
of too small power to be of much use.

THE GCUMENICAL COUNCIL.
DIR. MANNING ON THE SYLLABUS.

Archbishop Manning, on October
Sd, delivered q discourse ON the
Pope's Syllabus at the Pro- Cathedral
in Kensington. He expressed his
belief that if the Pope had confined
himself in the Syllabus simply to
faith and morality in the ordinary
personal sense of the word very little
would have been heard of it, but be-
cause his Holiness had pointed out
and condemned all those errors in
political philosophy which lay at the
root of morals the world had been in
uproar. DIR. Manning then went
through the several points of the Syl-
labus, explaining and defending each
of them.
What was the meaning of modern
civilization The state of political
society founded upon divorce, secu-
lar education, infinite divisions and
contradictions In matters of religion,
and the absolute remuneration of the
supreme authority of the Christian
Church. Could it, then, be matter
of wonder that when the Roman
Pontiff published the Syllabus all
those who were in love with modern
civilization should have risen in up
roar against it? Or could it be won
dered that when the world, with
great courtesy sometimes, with great
superciliousness at another time, and
great menace always, invites the Ro-
man Pontiff to reconcile himself to
Liberalism, progress and modern civ
ilization, he should say, "No; [ will
not and I cannot. Your progress
means divorce; I maintain Christian
marriage. Your progress means sec
ular education; [ maintain that ed1l-
cation is intrinsically and necessarily
Christian. You maintain that it is a
good thing that men should think as
they like, talk as they like, preach as
they like, and propagate what errors
they please. l say that it is sowing
error broadcast over the world. You
say I have no authority over the
Christian world, that I am not the
vicar of the Good Shepherd, that I
am not the supreme interpreter of
the Christian Faith. I am all these.
You ask me to abdicate, to renounce
my supreme authority. You tell me
/ ought to submit to the civil power
that 1 am the subject of the King of
Italy, and from him / am to receive
Instructions as to the way / should
exercise the civil power. I say 1 am
liberated from all civil subsection;
that my Lord made me the subject
of no one on earth, king or otherwise;
that in His right / am sovereign. I
acknowledge no civil superior, I am
the subject of no prince, and I claim
more than this-I claim to be the
supreme judge and director of the
consciences of men-of the peasant,
that tills the field and the prince
that sits on the throne-of the house
hold that lives in the shade of priva-
cy and the legislature that makes
laws for kingdoms am the sole
last Supreme Judge of what is right
and wrong.
