Fred Douglass Tells What he Knows
About the John Brown Raid.

Washington (Nov. 2O) Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
Frederick Douglass, in lecture de-
ivered in this city last night, I'M
bosomed himself for the first time in re-
gard to his personal connection with the
John Brown raid. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Douglass fed to Canada at
the time of the raid. He says that
Browns constitution for the government
of the insuTectionary republic was
written Mt his house in Rochester, and
the speaker still possessed the original
draft. He was not privy, however, to
Browns invasion until summoned from
Rochester to Chambersburg just before
the descenton Harper's Ferry, when he
spent a whole day and night in a stone
quarry with Brown and Shields Green,
seeking to dissuade them from their
mad attempt. Green was finally cap
tured by Browns fervor, and so met his
death on the gallows. Twelve years be-
fore the raid, Brown laid before Doug
lass the plan of general instruction
all along the Allegheny ridges of the
slave States, with the idea of mount
ing hundreds of black men on their
masters horses and letting them ride to
free soil. The subsequent plan of the
raid was changed from the first plan n
little while before he put it into execu-
ton. Douglass keenly criticised Will
lam III. Stewards proposition that
Brown was Justly hanged.

The Peters Pence Fund.

1t is well known that of late years His
Holiness Pope Plus has been very
largely supported by the contributions
of the faithful throughout the world,
which have been collected under the
ancient and historic name of st. Peter s
pence. The Jnita Cdttolica gives the
following statistics of the annual re-
ceipts, which, we believe, have never
before been published together. In
1861 the "pence" amounted to II, Isl,
900 francs in 1862, to 9,402, 600 francs;
in 1868, to 7,047, 900 francs in 1864, to
to 5, S32, 900 francs in 1865, to 6,445,-
600 francs in 1866, to 8, 939, 900 francs;
in 1867, to II, 312,0 900 francs in 1868,
to II, 900, 900 francs thus giving total
of II, 161 200 francs in eight years. The
exact sums collected in the last four or
five years are not given, but the same
authority states that they are greatly in
excess of previous years, and reckons
the total of Peters pence collected up
to the present time cannot fall far short
of 400, 900, 900 francs. The great fall
ing off in the years 1868 is accounted
for by the same authority and by Catho-
lie opinion on the ground of the gen
eral belief then prevailing that, after
all, the temporal possessions of His
Holiness were safe, and that, conse.
quently, he had less urgent need of ex-
ternal subsidies"

Valley of the Shadow of Death.

Says the Beaver (Utah) Enterprise ::
The Valley of Death-a spot almost as
terrible as the prophets valley of dry
bones-lies just north of the old Nor
mon road to California, region thirty
miles long by thirty broad, and sur
rounded, except at two points, by mac
cessible mountains. 1t is totally devoid
of water and vegetation, and the shadow
Of bird or wild beast never darkens its
white, glazing sands. The Kansas Pa
cific railroad engineers discovered it,
and also some papers which show the
fate of the lost Montgomery train. which
came south from Salt Lake in 1850,
guided by Mormon. When near the
Death Valley some came to the conclu-
sion that the Mormons knew nothing
about the country, SO they appointed
one of their number leader, and broke
off from the party. The leader turned
due west, and with the people and
wagons and hocks he travelled three
days, and then descended into the broad
valley whose treacherous mirage prom
Used water. They reached the center,
but only the white sand, bounded by
scorching peaks, met their gaze.
Around the valley they wandered, and
one by one the men died, and the pant
ing hocks stretched themselves to death
under the hot sun. Then the children,
crying for water, died at their mothers
breasts, and, with swollen tongues and
burning vitals, the helpless mothers
followed. Wagon after wagon was
abandoned, and strong men tottered
and 1ia1 flor a Iyaalx' q uap6arinO n
dozen survivors found some water in
the hollow of rock in the mountain.
1t lasted but short time, when all
died but two, who escaped out of the
valley and followed the trail of their
former companions. Eighty-seven fam
lilies, with hundreds of animals, persisted
here; and now, after twenty-three
years, the wagons stand still complete
the iron-work and tires are bright, and
the shriveled skeletons lie side by side.

A Triumph of Art-A Paper Church.

There is paper church actually ex-
listing near Bergen, which can contain
nearly one thousand persons. 1t Is cir
cular within, octagonal without. The
relieves outside, and the statues within,
the roof, the ceiling, the Corinthian
capitols, are all of papier-mache, rem
dered water-p proof by saturation IN ltriol,
whey, and white OF egg. We have not
vet reached this audacity in our own
use of paper but it should hardly sur
prise us, inasmuch rs we employ the
same material in private houses, In
steamboats,, and in some public build
inps. instead of carved decorations and
plaster cornices. When Frederick the
Second, of Prussia, set up limited pa
pier-mache mandatory at Berlin, in
1776. he thought the paper cathedrals
might, within a century, spring out OF
his snuff-boxes by the slight-of-hand of
advancing art. At present we confess
to a prediction for substantial brick
and stone in the matter of churches, but
there is no saying what we may come to.
1t is not very long since it would have
seemed as impossible to cover eighteen
acres of ground with grass or to erect q
pagoda with soap bubbles, yet the thing
is done. When we think OF psalm
sung by one thousand voices pealing
through an edifice made of old rags, and
the universal element bound down to
carry messages with the speed of light,
it would be presumptuous to say what
can and what cannot be achieved by
science and art, under the training of
steady old Time.

The Signal Service.

An abstract of the report of the Signal
Service Bureau for the past year shows
that this branch of the public service is
constantly gaining in value. The sys-
tenn of weather reports has been much
improved, and the field of its usefulness
greatly extended, Thirteen observing
stations have been added i'll the United
States and four in Canada but, per-
haps, the most important of the new
stations are the three which have been
established in the West Indies. BY
reference to the report it will be seen
that the probabilities furnished to
the daily press, with which the people
are so familiar, constitute but n small
portion of the work of the Bureau. The
distribution of weather charts has been
so systematized that they are now dis
played ut 4,490 different postoffices
throughout the country in time to be OF
material benefit to the agricultural in
terests. When we remember that i'll
addition to the great service it is now
rendering the farmers, the Bureau is OF
even more value to our commerce, in
giving notice of approaching storms on
our sea-coasts and lakes, it will be read.

Government is so deserving of com.

future almost beyond computation.

Gamblers Tricks.

The Louisville Corier-Jounal gives
the annexed description of some gaming
tools seized in that city:
1.-The apparatus taken consists of
two reflectors of different construction.
One of them consists of pile Of poker
chips, about six in number, the top and
bottom ones being perfect, but the INF err
mediate ones were only semi-circular,
and cut so that small, bright piece
of steel placed in the bottom of the pile
would reflect the hand of the dealer
opponent, as the cards were dealt direct
ly over the reflector. Knowing his OPP
ponent's hand, the gambler had easy
work in fleeing his victim. The other
contrivance is called the greenback re-
fector, and consists of a one-dellar
greenback note, having stiff piece of
paper pasted on the bill. A small piece
of wood is pinned to the paper, having
on its face small glass mirror. When
the game commences this bill is laid
upon the table, and twenty or more dol
lars placed upon it in such manner as
perfectly to conceal the mirror. The
dealer of the cards, rs in the former in
stance, knowing his adversary's hand,
can easily win every game.

Our Little Dog Dickic.
FOR THE VERY SMALL FOLKS.

Dickie is growing old now and as
you have seen your grandpa take his
chair to the sunny side of the house and
sit there, so Dickie likes to find some
warm, bright spot and there he lies,
opening his sleepy eyes sometimes to
look at the little kitten, who is trying to
play with him, or to watch hen pick
ing her way through the grass, her little
chicks tripping after her.
What do you suppose he is thinking
of? OF his young days? Perhaps that
is what your grandpa is thinking of us
he sits at the sunny side of the house
he is thinking of his young days.
Dickie smiles to himself-that is, wags
his tail-when he calls to mind the
many sham fights he had with little
rooster-a little hot-headed rooster.
And then he feels complacent you must
thinks what very kind care-taker he
has been of all the hens and their little
ones. All old Dickie, you have very
humble look but we all know of what
you are thinking ; we all know you are
feeling little vain of those doings in
your younger days.
Most OF the hens would take no notice
of Dickie. They stepped here and there
picking up food, and clucking to their
families, seeming to wish to show Mas
ter Dickie they were able to take
care of themselves. This troubled
Dickie, and he was much delighted
when an old hen, who, like Moth Ell
Goose, chad so MANY chickens she
didn't know what to do" and no old
shoe as that lady had to store them in,
was willing to let him take charge, and

mer. AS soon AS she had Matched a
brood, Dickie would watch each little
one, taking care of them at night The
hen would soon give them entirely into
his charge, and go off and raise another
brood.

A DOggish Affair.

Lock-ups are proverbially dark look
ing places. The one on White stleet is
very dark. When anybody considers
the insignificant appearance of the build
ing, and then looks through the open
door, he is surprised at the amount OF
darkness it contains. In addition to
the lookup, White street has ferocious
dog, or rather a dog that becomes fe-
rocious on the appearance of a smaller
animal. The dog followed the janitOr
into the lookup yesterday afternoon,
and shortly after boy with a diminu-
tive dog tagging behind him, came
along. The boy had three brown paper
bundles IN his arms, and was chewing
on piece OF rubber, and looking about
as boy does when he is on an errand.
When he came to the open door Of the
lookup, he stopped chewing the rub
Der, and his face assumed every indica-
ton OF engrossing interest. He stared
very hard inside, but was not able to
make out much in the darkness. His
under jaw had unconsciously dropped
down, and his legs were spread apart,
and in between them stood his dog
property, staring into the darkness with
as much interest as was consistent with
his size. The longer the boy looked
into this place, the more wildly his
imagination pictured its possible hor-
rors, and already the hair on the exact
top of his head was commencing to get
on its feet, impelled thereto by cur
rent of cold air mounting his spine, when
a roar like the discharge of eleven-hund-
red cannon suddenly split the darkness
right in his very face. There was a
lightning whiz, blow against his legs,
and dreadful howl all together, and
the next instant the good little boy was
on his back in the street, and turning
over and over through the mud were a
big dog and small dog, and three
brown paper packages. The whole af-
fair was witnessed by a young man
across the way, and to him the compli-
cation appeared so comical that he was
moved to the most convulsive merri-
ment. AS soon as the little boy could
get on his feet and recover the piece OF
rubber which had been driven into his
throat to the great danger of his life,
he turned on the audience, and vocifer'
ated with biting sarcasm, go, laugh
why don't you, you darned old fool?'
Then he gathered up his bundles, anC

A Precedent in the yirginius Matter.

The details of the interference of the
British Government in 1884 to stop the
barbarities perpetrated in the Carlist
war were laid before the President to-
day, as pertinent precedent to be con-
sidered in connection with the Vir-
ginius affair. The course of the Brit
ish Government was the immediate
consequence of an act very similar to
the execution of Ryan and his compan-
ions. An English ship was over
hauled by Spanish man-of-war, and
two Carlist officers taken from her and
summarily shot, after drum-head
court martial. The Government of
Queen Isabella treated the Carlists as
traitors, and had from the outbreak Of
the rebellion, shot all the prisoners
captured The Carlists retaliated, and
the war was one of brutal ferocity on
both sides The execution of the two
officers taken from the English ship
reused the British Ministry to action.
With the assent Of the other parties to
the Tripartite Alliance-France and
Portugal-Lord Eliot was sent TO Spain,
and he made convention between the
Madrid Government and the Carlist
chiefs, which, without recognizing the
belligerency of the latter, bound both
to respect the rules of civilized warfare,
and put an immediate stop to the MUIR
der of prisoners. Provisions were made
for the regular exchange OF prisoners.
The terms of the convention were adj
hered to until the war ended i'll 1882

A Model HOg-Speech.

A large number of stock men of this
city and from adjoining counties were
present yesterday at the opening of the
packing house of Holmes, Petit Il
Bradshaw. At the slaughtering of the
first hog there were prolonged cries for
q speech. Col. Hughes East, OF Greene
county, the oldest stock man present,
being called upon, responded somewhat
rs follows:
CONTAMINATION have called upon
me for a speech, but L must say, that
like the hog that lies before us weller
ing in his blood, I'm "stuck." These
are squally times, gentlemen times
that make men grunt." We are all in
the woods in search of financial hole
from which to gain relief from being
hard up; and while we may laugh
while sitting on the fence of expecta-
ton, yet what may be considered a
"good joke +" for some would be no
laughing matter to others if fully under
stood. While this financial trouble is
poking us in the cribs we are all en-
deavoring to save our "bacon," and
hope to come out of the difficulty on
the clear side" Ours, gentlemen, is
at present an "offal " business; and
what we want is backbone. We
must work together, "cheek by jowl, !"
and not attempt to succeed over the
shoulders " of others. There is no
reason why we should "go it blind !"
but on the other hand there is too much
at " stake for us to attempt to "play
it alone" while the bankers "hold the
edge" 1t will not do to buy =" pig in
a poke" yet we must know whether we
hold full hand or not; see our
spots and "call our neighbors,
who hold our contracts. Let us hope,
gentlemen, that the trade will soon

to "squeal" over the moneyless hog, let

him trying to stuff one of John Tobin-
sons circus bills into his pocket. Draw
ing near and assuming one of our smiles,
we inquired if he would not like to sub

moment the roller of clods semed nearly
lost in deep thought, then he slowly went
down into his pocket, drew out for
