BOWED BY AGE.

Home for the Old and InGrm--Its Annual
n1eetIBs-The Mother Of she House ILO
Years Of AEe.
At No. $40 South Front street stands an
unpretending charity which deserves the gem
erous aid of q benevolent public. 1t is " rhe
Home for Aged and Infrm Coored Persons"
the object of its establishment being as we
learn from the. charter, 1.-THE relief of that
worthy class of colored persons who have
endeavored through life to maintain themselves,
but from various causes are finally dependent
upon the charity of Others" 1t was founded
without ostentaton and entered upon field
of charity hitherto deserted, under the liberal
support of generous class
"Who do good by stealth,
And blush to lind it fame."
To-day the annual meeting was held, and at it
Dillwyn Parrish, President, Stephen Smith,
Vice-President, Samuel r. Shipley, Treasurer,
and Joseph NJ. Truman, Secretary, were re-
elected During the past year there were
twenty-nine aged and decrepit women cared
for, three of whom, whose ages were respec-
lively sixty, seventy-fve, and eighty years,
died. On the list of applicants for admission
are the names of about fifty aged women but
no relief could be offered them until the accom-
modations of the Home could, to considerable
degree, be amplifed. number of these Zone
of whom is nearly blind) have been on the list
for three years, and some, from abject destitu-
tien, have been forced to go the Almshouse.
One of the inmates, Sarah Baynard, has
reached The venerable age of one hundred and
ten years, and from this fact, with great pro-
priety is called the mother of the house. She
was born in Milford, Maryland; was more than
three-score years slave; and to the patient
listener tells of many things that happened
before and during the Revolution. The next,
in point of age, is Mary Edwards, a native of
Africa, and who has just attained ive-score
years. The ages of the rest ascend upwards
from sixty years. 1t is related of one that when
the terrible fire of the Patterson Warehouses
occurred, and when the inhabitants for squares
about were making ready to hastily depart
should the devastating element approach their
houses, which seemed every moment certain,
she kept her bed, and when asked to come down
said:-"Well, will if you want me to- but I've
gone to bed, and offered mp my prayer, and I'm
sure not hair of our heads will be injured"
Mr.. Stephen Smith some time ago presented
to the Home q valuable lot near Belmont and
Girard avenues, as a site for a new and commo-
dious building which, we are pleased to learn,
will be completed by the 1st of May. 1t will
cost $32, 600, and will accommodate at least $50
persons; and thus, if the humane efforts of the
managers are seconded by kind public, their
means for rendering aid to these destitute and
decrepit people will be greatly augmented.

The Nomination of Indian Agents-A letter

Tho Nomination of Indian Agents-A Letter
from the Agent Of the American Church lIis-
siopary Society.
Some days ago we published communication
from William Welsh ESQ.,, which called for the
publication of the endorsement to the nomiua-
zion of Colonel Percy b. Spear for the position
of Indian Agent. The following letter to the
Secretary of the Interior from the agent of the
American Church Missionary Society throws a
small ray of light upon the subject and tends
to coBfirm the opinion advanced some time ago
in our columns that the appointment of Indian
agents at the recommendation of churches and
religious societies opened new door for abuses
of the worst kind, as all past experiences tend
to show that the most disreputable characters
can obtain such recommendations without diff
Guilty if they 60 the right way about it. 1t may
well be asked by the readers of the following
letter what right had the officers of the Ameri-
can Church Missionary Society 10 endorse Colo
mel Spear, unless they personally knew some
thing of his character, especially when they
were aware that the President expected them to
aid him in bringing about great reform, and
relied upon them to nominate honest men or
none at all

An Omission that will Provoke Acrimony.
Our readers will remember the passage-at-

President HUM and Joseph s. Allen, member
of Common Council, in which the latter charged
the former with having acted unfairly in pro-

Committee on Highways, and then not even
giving him membership in it; and having done
this much Mr. Allen presented his resignation
as chairman of the Committee on Election
Divisions, accompanied with his reasons there.

Mr.. Allen presented an appeal, which was laid

The San DomInRO Resolution p
came up in the Senate at one o'clock, when Mr..
Stewart took the floor in favor of the resolu-
lion. As il is certain that when the time arrives
or taking a vote the resolution will be passed,
here is very little interest in the affair. None
of the amendments proposed by Mr.. Sumner
will be adopted, nor is there any prospect of
Messrs. SchurZ Morrill,, and Others who have
prepared elaborate speeches against the resolu-
ton, getting chance to speak.

to proceed TO San Domingo have all been Sc
lected, but their names will not be announced
till tomorrow.
The steamer Tennessee
