"Who was comforting her now when

that her chains were far more binding

A correspondent Of the Petersburg
Va.) Apreal writes: The allusion in a
recent letter Of your Louisa correspond
ent TO the old Revolutionary giant
hero, Peter Francisco, reviyes many
traditions and "reminiscences Of the
wonderful performances and daring
deeds of that extraordinary man. My
father, recently deceased at the adj
yanced age OF ninety, well remembered
him, having frequently seen him in his
native county Of Buckingham. and
related many anecdotes Of his stirring
and perilous adventures and hair
breadth escapes as he heard the recital
fall from the lips Of the giant himself.
He describes him as six feet one inch IN
height, his weight two hundred and
sixty pounds, his complexion dark and
swarthy, features bold and manly, and
his hands and feet uncOmmonly large,
his thumbs being as large Is an ordinary
mans wrist. Such was his personal
strength that he could easily shoulder a
cannOnweighingl ,l00pounds, andheha
seen him take a mar in his right hand,
pass over the floor and dance his head
against the ceiling with as much S as
if be had been a doll-baby. The mans
weight was l95 pounds. P~artaking of
the patriotic enthusiasm of the times,
he entered the American revolutionary
army at the age of sixteen. He was
present at the storming of Stony Point,
and was the first soldier after Maj. Glib
bon, who entered the fortress, on which
occasion he received a bayonet wound
in the thigh. He was at Brandywine,
Monmouth, and other battles ut the
North, and was transferred TO the South
under Gen. Greene, where he vas en-
gagged in the actions of the Cow-pens,
Camden, Guilford Courthouse, etc. Hel

dence in his prowers that he was POSI-

suns radiation is not Vdtho

The suns radiation is not without
influence on the comfort of the Occu-
pants of a house, and the influence may
be very differently felt, according to
the exposure of houses. In a building
unaffected by any shade, Herr VOght
recently made a series of experiments
to determine the relative amount of the
suns heat daily entering the different
sides. He obtained the surprising re-
suit that more heat enters the building
through the east and west walls than
through the wall facing directly south,
although the south side is exposed to
the suns rays nearly twice as long as
either of the others. A considerably
greater quantity of heat is received by
the east than by the west side.

properly go to the Com mittee on Revision

Mr.. Kelly said his feelings of confidence

had changed to one of GOODNESS and inqui-
ry. He then went on to show that Mr.
Townshend had violated the plain unmis-
takeable law in laving this bill so referred.
He stoutly defended the Ways and Means
Committee as a conscientious and hard
| working committee. He hoped what Mr..
Townshend had committed would be the
greatest mistake of his life.
Mr.. Mcmillan said that underline guise OF
personal explanation, Mr.. Kelly was cast

Mr.. Young thought the rules SO imper-

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The thirty
days notice of the condemnation of China
town expired to-day, but the board of
health has as yet taken no action with
regard to Chinatown. AS far as can be
learned, the board has no other power
than to cause an reinforcement of existing
laws regarding nuisances and overcrowd-
ing, The laws and ordinances relating to
the former bear more heavily upon prop
erty owners than upon the occupants OF
buildings, and were they enforced strictly,
Caucasian property owners of Chinatown
would suffer more than the Monaghan
senantry of condemned buildings. 1t is
hardly possible. it is stated, to make many
arrests on account of violations of law, as
there is no place in which the prisoners
can be kept. The jaiIs are filed to over
flowing already. This fact las been
brought to the notice of the board OF
supervisors and board Of police commits
sioners, but as yet no action has been taken
toward providing quarters sfor the 6eten-
ton of prisoners who would be arrested 10
scores, should the cubic acre ordinance
and other laws be enforced.

colored Sherman delegates we're elected
to the Chicago convention after a strug-
gle.
GALVESTON, March 25 The Nesos'
special from Austin says: The Republican
Convention after somewhat acrimonious
session, admitted all delegates. Following
is summary of the platform which was
adopted: We hold it to be the duty of
the United States government to secure
every citizen the free exercise Of the cleo
tive franchise in all elections for President,
Vice President and Congressman. We
DO not consider il expedent for this con-
vention to make nominations for state Of
ficials, but the delegates and the State
Executive Committee have authority to
call future State Convention to decide
that subject. If in their opinion public sen
timent shall hereafter indicate such con
vention desirable The balance of the
resolutions relate to state affairs. Resolu-
tons instructing the delegates to Chicago
for Grant was bitterly opposed. 1t was
finally agreed to instruct the delegates TO
vote as a unit. This was accepted by the
Grant men as equivalent to instructions
and adopted. Davis was elected one of
the delegates at large,
ST. Louis, March 25.-The anti~third
term committee will publish call to-
morrow setting forth that profound inter
est is felt N the approaching presidential
election and alarm is felt at the purpose of
some friends to commit the Republican
party to the dangerous third term policy.
The address refers to the example of
Washington and the Injunction of Jeffer-
son and warmly approves the resolutions
of the state conventions of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio in 1875. all of
which opposed the third term. and the
similar action of congress in Decemb Der,
1875. The nomination of Grant would be
made only in total disregard OF the princi :
Piles of the Republican party. To avert
danger to the success OF the party the call
is issued for mass convention ct St,
Louis, May 6, to perfect thorough
organization for the expression OF the will
OF the people against the principle of a
third presidential term. with view to a
constitutional amendment limiting the
presidential tenure. All Republicans in
sympathy with the movement are invited.
