THE OLDEST WoMAN.-Probably the
oldest human being in the world is
Sonora Peras Glenn, Mexican woman,
who lives in San Gabriel Mission, Cali
fornia. She. is one hundred and forty
years old. Her age is declared to be a
matter of undisputed record. She was
born in Lower California and removed
to San Diego in 1853, and her name
was then registered on the books of
the old mission. In ITO she removed
to San Gabriel Mission, where she has
lived ever since in an adobe house, with
only ground floor.
She eats only the plainest fooo, and
has been a tobacco smoker all her life
until fifteen years ago, when she turned
over new leaf, signed the anti-tobacco
pledge, and quit drinking wine at the
same time. She was married at thir-
teen, and has had eleven children. She
is now living with her youngest, baby
of eighty-three. A photographer in
Rochester, N. Y, has paid visit to
the ancient dame and taken series of
Photographic ana stereoscoplc views Oh
her, 1t is singular fact that her hair,
once white as snow, is now turning
black and silky. If she lives another
half century or SC she will, at TIL, rate,
be restored to blooming girlhood again.

were unanimously adopted by rising
vote:
Uhereas, Death has removed from
amongst us-under circumstances
strongly suggestive of foul play-our
friend and fellow citizen, the christian
gentleman, and chistian pastor, John
NJ. Friday;
Uhereas, The death Of Mr.. Friday,
owing to his many endearing virtues,
makes an irrPparable void in his once
happy home-in his sorrowing congre-
CATION, and Ill the community, of (which
he was such a useful and beloved MEM
ber-grief for his loss being every
where unboundcd.;
Whereas, We are prepared at all
times to bow with christian humility to
the DEGREES of Divine Providence but
at the same time, are prepared to resent
with christian Indignation, unmerted
and unprovoked violation OF the laws OF
God and man;
Rrsolued, That we tender to the wild
ow, and children, and family of the de
ceased, our sincerest sympathy in their
great bereavement. We further pledge
ourselves. to aid and assist in thor
ough Investigation Of all the circum-
stances of the affair we deplore, and if
need be-if foul play be ascertained-
to bring the guilty to justice.
Resolred, That copy Of these reso-
lutions, and Of the proceedings Of this
meeting, be forwarded to the widow Of
the deceased, and be published in the
papers of this county-of Frederick,

The latest discovery at Washington Of
the crooked prnctices OF the 1ato rnauago-
mont Of tho Navy Department Inns somo
peculiar featnros. Tho Secretary of the
Nary suspended payment on n contract for
tho delivery Of timber ut the Norfolk Navy
Yard. Tho contractor has made clean
breaat of the whole matter. de had tried
in vain to sell large stock Of timber whicl,
no had offered ut 10 cents per foot. 1io was
financially distressed, and n political friond
offered 10 find purchaser for the timber II
he woro allowed to retain all ho could get
over SO cents per foot, Ills necessities COM
PEELED the owner to yield, and he therefore
accepted contract to dolivor the timber Mt
rs cents Per foot at the Kittery Navy- Yard.
Ills friend, however, obtained MI order for the
delivery to bo made at Norfolk. Tho con-
tractor has since been receiving 60 centa,
aud his political friend, who appears to DO n
1nomber Of Congress, has been getting tho
other e5 cents per foot. Tho contractor's
conscience las been troubling him oyer
since, and ho called On tho Secretary Of tho
Navy to sny TINT he did not complain of tho
suspension of payments. 1fe know the
thing WINS all wrong In tho beginning, but
his poverty forced him to accept. It will be
in order now to know who was this member
