lMaulsSu kNls.) JOURNAL.
The veteran war eagle, "Old Abe" re,
turned to the city last evening, in charge
of the State Armorer, Captain Peter
Fields. The ancient bird has been ex.
hibiting himself for the past two or three
months at the Old South Church, Boston,
as the principal attraction in loan cx-
hibition there, org tnized for the purpose
of swelling the fund for its purchase by
the patriotic ladies of the Hub. "Od
Abe looks as calm and serene as be did
during the old battle days before Vicks-
burg, and he takes his honors, as well as
his age, as easy as may be imagined
without feather ruffled or his keen ap-
petite dulled. He displayed little en-
thusiasm on being led into his spacious
quarters in the basement of the Capitol,
and tapped his wings and screamed a
national air or two, evidently glad to get
home again.

Gen. Simon Cameron

On the Sth day of March, 1899, Simol
Cameron was born in the village of May
town, then Donegal, now East Donega
Township, and was therefore eighty year
of age on the Sth instant. The house il
which he was born is yet standing on the
southwest corner of the square in the
center of the village-thc town, when
laid out, having been modelled after Ian
caster, with square in the middle
His fathers name was Charles Gamer.
on, and in 1908 he left Maytown with
his family and family effects, for Sun
bury, Northumberland County, by way
of the Susquehanna River, "embarking'
at what was then known as Vinegar
Ferry, and proceeding by a system of
boating up the river, which is now one of
the lost arts His grandfather's name
was Simon Cameron, who, with his
brother, John Cameron, came from the
Highlands of Scotland about the begin
ming of the revolution, in company with
Presbyterian clergyman named Colin
MacFarquahar; he took to preaching at
Donegal Church, and the Camerons be-
came tenant farmers on the shares, on
the "glebe" land belonging to the
church.
This is tie which it is very natural
should attach General Cameron to Don
egal, but it is not generally known that
there is another which makes him feel
warmly toward the whole county. His
mothers name was Martha Pfoutz, a
daughter of Conrad nfoutz, who resided
near Strasburg, in the neighborhood of
which many of the Pfoutz descendants
are yet found, and where farm once
owned by Mrs. Cameron's grcat-grand-
father was held by the descendants until
within the past year, when it passed out
of the family.
The Pfoutzes were Huguenots, and
came to America, as did mostof the Con-
tinental German emigrants, that they
might enjoy religious liberty. Conrad
Pfoutz, the father of Gen. Cameron's
mother, was companion of the cele-
brated Sam Brady, famed for his daring
in all the wars of his time, from the un-
fortunate expedition of Arnold against
Quebec to the end of the reyolu-
ton. Very recently, speaking about
his mothers family, the General said
to the writer: 81 have my grandmother's
German Bible, which she left me with
her blessing, when she died, ninety-one
years of age, with $50 to help me along
in the world. Your aunt, Mrs Mehaffey,
used to say that all the talent I have
came from the Pfoutzes. / am inclined
to believe myself that all the good have
came from the teaching of my mother
and her mother, and very much of my
inclination to "kick back" from old Con-
rad and the Scotch rebels"

The second is that Principals, in selling
copy and drawing-books, shall sell them at

Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): Nobody
now questions the right of the South to
self-goverument or doubts her capacity
to manage her own affairs. So it would
be if the Southern members, who hold
the balance in the House and who repre-
sent States which are solidly Democratic,
should assert their prerogatives and or
ganize the next House. 1t is their duty
to show the country that they have no
designs upon the Treasury; no schemes to
urge which arc at variance with general
public policy, and, above all, it is their
duty to establish confidence by showing
that they can be intrusled with power.
We are glad to Know that the sentiments
which we entertain are growing in Wash
ington, and it il, therefore, with pleasure
that We note H. disposition upon the
part of the Southern Democratic MEM
bers to concentrate upon the Hon. J. G.
S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, as their
choice for the Speakership. If it shall be
determined, upon further consultation,
that he is the strongest and best repre-
sentative of the section, he should re-
ceive a hearty and united support.

The following is published in the Eas-
ton (Pa-) Express as true fish story .:
George Bryant, Train-master at High
Bridge, n. j., and VIM. Hibbler, conduc-
tor on the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey, were fishing from the Newark Bay
bridge three years ago. Bryant lost his
sinker and substituted for it a Central
Railroad switch key. He got "huge
bite and in drawing in his line discov-
cred large eel on his hook, but before
he could land him the eel broke loose,
carrying away the hook and the switch
key. Eight months after an eel was
caught by Capt. Simon Chapman in an
old barge at Chapman's wharf, on the
Thames River, three miles above New
London, CT. When the eel was cut open
the lost Central Railroad switch key was
found inside of it. Last evening on Con-
ductor Hibbler's train the son of Capt.
Chapman introduced himself to Mr.. Hib-
bier, and said his father still had the key
in his possession. Arrangements were
made to have it returned to Mr. Bryant
at High Bridge.
