A negro woman by the name OF
Jane Wilson, living in Salem, claims
to be 119 years of age. She states that
she belonged to David Ross, of Vir-
ginia, and was fourteen years old at the
time OF Bunker Hill battle. She is re-
markably well preserved for one to be
as old as she claims to be. Her eye
sight aid teeth are good, and she says
she can thread a needle without the
use of glasses. For awhile she was
totally blind, but her sight was re-
stored in answer to prayer. David
Ross, her old master, was a wealthy
Virginia planter in the colonial days.
In those days emigrant ships, loaded
with young women, were not unffe-
quent in the harbor at Norfolk, and
they were put up at auction and sold
to men wanting wives, and the pur-
chase money went to the payment OF
their passage, and one of the charges
that Brownlow used to make against
the Rev. Frederick A. Ross, an emf
nent Presbyterian divine, was that his
father David Ross, bought his mother
at one ofthese auctions.

ARTHUR'S NOMINATION
Regarded by a Leading Repnb-
Iican as a Mistake.
Chicago Tribune.l

Chicago Tribune.l
We cannot but express the opinion
that the nomination of Mr.. Arthur, Of
New York, was a mistake. 1t is
neither in harmony with the platform
nor the head of the ticket. There is
the consolation, however, that the
Office is one OF total insigniicance ex-
cept in a remote contingency. The
excuse for such a nomination can only
be found in the fact that in the reac-
ton following the glorious d~eliverance
from impending evil of the most ca
lamitous character, the hearts of the
delegates, OVERLOOKING with gratitude,
yielded so far as to offer kindness to
the defeated and Frustrated conspira-
tors. The nomination of vice presi.
dent followed so soon after that Of
General Garfield, that there was little
time for reflection, and too many Of
the delegates, in their sympathy for
the vanquished and in their hurry to
go home, did what they would not
have done had they taken a night to
think over the matter.

The universal knowledge of the fu.
ture life has been limited at by Profess
sor Gabriel Campbell, of the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota, in an address on
PHILOSOPHY in America" He thinks
it will be music based upon some such
principle as that governing the mathe-
matical combination Of sound and
color. On the main topic he said:
Science can gain nothing by
an cutlery against the classics.
which must command an interest
greater and deeper than they do now.
Philosophy will have to do with the
problem of CO. education, and deal not
withanidentica education butan equal
education, and determine the amount
Of culture and the kind Of culture. Ii
will have to do with the governmental
problem-whether woman shall take
equal command with man in the gov.
ernment. This will be decided phil.
osophically, and the question will be
settled whether she can afford to stooT
to it.
