Yesterday old Joe Hemlock, one Of the
darkest colOred men in Detroit, was prom
enading through the editorial rooms of
the Free Press, in search Of money
enough to buy new pair of boots, and
the sight of him revived an old recollec-
ton. In 1864, after the retreat from
Bull Run, the Third Michigan Infantry
went into camp at Hunters Place, and
old Joe, then midd'e-aged darky, came
into camp as runaway. Col. McCOn-
nell seized upon him for cook, and after
instructions Joe was given charge of the
Colonel's kitchen. His first meal was
dinner, and about time for it to appear
he walked in on the Colonel, made very
low bow, and said: ........ +

An Exclusive Country.

The telegraphic announcement that
two Austrian travellers have arrived at
Rangoon by the overland route from
China through Yunnan and Bhamo,
after having been prevented by Chinese
officials from entering Thibet, seems to
show that the expedition of Count
Szechenyi (apparently the one alluded
toy has met with the fate OF every at
tempt on the part Of European travellers
to enter that mysterious country since
the time of the Able Hue and his COM
panion Gabert. Count Szechenyi and
his fellow travellers had been exception
ably fortunate in securing frst-rate
recommendation and passports from the
Tsungli Yamen or foreign Office at
Peking; but after making vain at
tempt to penetrate into the country by
the northern route, which runs through
the town of Sinig, they have Jared with
no better success by the way of the
southern and more frequented route by
Batang. The governor general of the
province of CzecEuen, which adjoins
Thibet, had apparently done his best to
help, by promising the official who
should convey the travellers in safety
across the frontier that the exploit
should be considered as "a meritorious
act of the frst-class;;" but the Thibetans
were memorable, and it is remarkable
proof of the almost complete independ-
ence they now enjoy that (assuming the
Chinese authorities to have been acting
bona fide, which there appears no reason
to doubt) the Thibetans have been en-
abled to set at defiance the Instructions
of the Peking government. g..

Church of Allhallows, Lombard street.
London, according to custom which has
been observed for the last two hundred
and eighty-seven years. sixty of tie
younger boys from Christ's Hospital at
tended the service, after which, in ac-
cordance with the will of Peter Symonds
made in 1893, they each received at the
hands of the church warden a new penny
and a packet of raisins. The same will
also directs that the clerk and sexton
shall receive ed each, the rector of Chad

On the same day a very ancient Gus
tom was again observed at st. Bartholo-
NEW the Great, Smith6eld. A short SER
mon was preached by Mr.. Morgan from
st. John xix, 36, 81. At the conclusion
of the service an old tomb in the church
yard was visited, a procession being
formed, when the Rev. J. Morgan laid 2l
sixpences on the tomb, which were
picked up by twenty-one elderly females
of the parish. 1t is stated that an old
lady left this benefaction, and that she
lies buried in the churchyard, but the
exact spot can not be pointed out. The
scene was of disorderly character, ow-
ing to number of boys and girls having
taken possession Of the place, thus pre-.
venting many of the respectable In
habitants attending the ancient cere.
mony.

4 new product made from petroleum is jelly caled '' Vaseline," whichis Is of the great est utility in medicine, pharmacy and for toilet use. Physicians all over the world have discovered its great value in the treatment of wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, c4tarrh and every ailment where lfniDent is needed and in almost every hospitalin Amer ica and Europe this substance is now in con- stant use, and is acknOw lcdged not only to be the bes t tr eaLment, but also one of the most important recent additions to medicine It is put up in bottles by the Chesebrough Manu- facturiDg Co.,, of New York, and as a family remedy, it is without doubt the best 1n use. Its healing and pain allaying qualities being superior to those of any known substance, while the speedy relief it affords for piles and chlblains is almost magical. As an emolllent,
 Vaseline is way ahead of anything else, as 1t
 renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, ana
 our lady friends will find it not only the best,
 but perhaps the sole substance which will
 really preserve and restore to the complexion
 tue hues of youth, making the check like vel
 vet and the skin like satin. The complexion
 powders in common use, are, as rule, lnJu-
 rrious to tine skin and destructive of any com
 plexion, while Vascline Is entirely healthful
 and beneficial. There is alsomade 'Pomade
 VaseIinc." which is said to be of great benefit
 to the hair, keeping it soft and glossy, pre-
 venting and curing dandruff, and keeping the scalp heaIthful and free from disease, ana from those objectionable creatures which sometimes find q dwelling there Numberless instances are cited of how by the use of this pomade thin and falling hair has resumed a | vigorous growth. Both the pure Vaseline l and the pomade are put up i'll twenty-five cent | bottles and arc to be found at all frst-clasf druggists and We advise our readers to make | a trial of this wonderful substance, and we | think they will find it's claims to merit not il | the least exaggerated.

 There is 8 great mistake in the man. agement of manure in general. There is, first of all fear of the labor of turn ing and mixing, and to excuse this neg lect. and the use of long, strawy, green manure, it is asserted 1t will last much longer. It is really applied for the pur- pose of acting immediately, and, instead of lasting, ought to be used up directly for the production of heavy crop.

Otherwise he was as well and strong as

regained his speech, but was still unable
to write. An Intelligent, cheerful old
gentleman who could preside at dinner,
eat with his left hand, give signs to the
servants to pass various articles, and
play an excellent game Of cards, could
only reply ''yes" to anything asked him

long have You been ILL" Eyes. lie

His friends all thought he had recovered
his power of speech, and he was i'm
plored to say the word again. It was re.

was all in vain. He never succeeded II
