"A HERO AND A MARTYR


from the GLASGOW Herald,
The story of "a Hero and Martyr"
having created some interest, and a pro-
posal having been mooted that some
thing should be done by generous pub
lie towards relieving the necessities of
James Lambert, and marking their ap-
probation of his many noble deeds, We
have made certain inquiries as to his
past and present circumstances. 1t .ap-
pears that Lambert, who became blind
in 1857, was admitted into. the Old Mans
Asylum, Bottenrow, on the 2lst of June
1869. He was then pauper, and had
been in receipt, from the BarOny Paro-
chial Board, of l4s. month, and this
payment was continued to the asylim
authorities. At that date he had two
daughters and son, all living and mar
ried, but their circumstances were such
that they were unable to afford their
father any assistance. Lambert contin-
ued in the Old Mans Asylum till the Sd
of January, 1870. when he was dismissed
for misconduct. He was in the habit of
writing now and again to Mr.. Reade, re-
questing cash remittances, which he in
yariably received. On these occasions,
though the rules of the house were very
strict, he always succeeded in squander-
ing the greater portion of the money in
drink, with the result that he became
very troublesome, and it was for such be-
haviOr that he was turned from the house
in 1870. In the course of that year re-
peated applications were made by Mr.
Bell, one of the Glasgow missionaries to
the blind, for the readmission of Lam
bert to the Asylum, and ultimately on
the strong repr sentatons of that gentle
man, and another friend, James Lambert
was again received into the house ION the
same conditions as formerly on the Goth
of February, 1871. There. he has since
continued, and his conduct since that
time has been irreproachable. 1t was
made stipulation Of his being readmit-
ted that Mr.. Reade should be asked to de-
sist from supplying money to Lambert,
except through some responsible chan
mel. In answer to letter from him, Mr..
Reade, about year and half ago, trans
mitted E1 through Capt, MCall. The
money was handed TO Mr.. Bell, and by
him expended in clothing Sov Lambert,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-01-21

Some weeks ago Lambert received an
other Gl direct from Mr.. Reade, and it is
believed that he still retainsa part ofthat
cash. Some of those best acquainted
with him appear to think that should
any subscription be instituted in his be-
half the subscribers should either entrust
the money to a small committee Of their
number to be applied for his benefit, or
put it into the hands of some responsible
public person. Though just now he wants
for nothing, he is a pauper. A co.. slder-
able sum was raised for him some 10 years
ago, and the weekly allowances which
were given from that fund have exhaust
ed it long ago. The case is in the hands
of the charitable, andit is for them to say
whether Lambert, who is 81 years of age,
should be permitted to spend the closing
days of a most useful and very event.
full life on q pauper's dole, or should be
the pensioner of agenerous public, who,
notwithstanding his failings, can appre7
eiate the fact that he became unable to
earn his livelihood in one one of his in
Vulnerable attempts to save the lives OF
his fellow creatures. We shall gladly
receive any sums which may be forward
ed on his behalf on the understanding
that when the subscription is completed
a majority of the subscribers themselves
are to be at liberty to say in what way
they wish their benevolence to be ap-
piled.
The Pail Mall Gazette of Thursday night
acknowledges, on behalf of Mr.. Charles
Reade, the following contributions sent
him for James Lambert; Mr.. Petit Reid,

To the Editor of the New Yorl tribune:
SIR:-I find in the Glasgow Herald of
Dec. 5, the conclusion of the story, "a
Hero and a Martyr" with an editorial
paragraph giving some account of Lam
bert's later life, from which it appears
that he is now a pauper inmate of the
Old Mans Asylum. LambeIt's compass
sionate words to the grateful washerwo-
man came to my mind: "Puir old bodie
An is that a ye hae?" with his generous
offer to give her on Saturday small por-
ton of his weekly wages. Another par
agraph gives list of donations from some
dozen or more friends in England and
elsewhere, amounting in the aggregate to
a considerable sum.

slavery family, died in Washington
city, recently, aged 90 years.

PROMISING BUSINESS PRosrECrs.-
Although the backward weather work
ed against trade, the business doing is
in excess Of that of last season The
collections are reported good. All
kinds of breadstutfs are in good de-
mand and better prices are realized.
Provisions are also bringing better
prices, and altogether the West has
little cause to complain. The South,
as section, has not been so FORUM
ate. Political trouble, however, had
rs much to do with the matter as has
the low price Of cotton, at which the
greater part Of the crop has been sold ;
if the country has even fair crops this
year, the next autumn business ought
to be among the best done for many
Years.

Never has an Arctic expedition
been 50 deliberately equipped as that
which starts from England the coming
summer. Parliament has appropria.
ted about half a million of dollars to
fit out this enterprise, and the same
generosity is promised in its main
tenance. The Pandora, a vessel fitted
out at private expense, Of which Lady
Franklin bears q considerable part,
will accompany the Government eX-
petition. The Danish Government
has instructed its official representa-
tives in Greenland to give the British
explorers every possible assistance and
the United States has placed at their
disposal the supplies planted along the
shores Of Smiths Sound by the Polaris
navigators. In the selection of Off
GERS and men the utmost care has
been exercised, and two vessels. q ma
w steamer called the Alert and a
whaling vessel rechristened the Dis
covery, will form the van of the expe-
dition. All the benefits of the latest
scientific discoveries and the warnings
Of past Arctic failures have come into
the reckoning. Everything that
could be devised for success from the
experience thus far obtained has been
provided. Americans should follow
this undertaking with the best wishes
and not with any envy. The glories
Of Arctic discovery are too vague and
problematical to excite jealousy in a
sensible people. They are all to win
yet, and if hardsbips must be endured
and failures suffered among the north
ern icebergs about once in so often,
Americans should be thankful that
their country has earned the right to
rest from such dangerous and thus far
profitless service for some time to
come. Whatever fame England can
WIN in this field she should be fully
entitled to.
