JERE BLACK.


Miss Grundy in Philadelphia Times:
Judge and Mrs Black returned to
their residence at York Pa, the first
of this week An incident which |
have lately heard III Judge Blacks
early history interests me much.
When II very young man, just old
enough to be eligible, his party (the
democratic, of course, for he was dyed
III the WOOL proposed him as their can
didate Tor congress, and felt sure of
elccting him, for, although the district
was wing by an overwhelming majority
(tWo or three thousand, think the
gentleman who was certain to be nom
i@ated 10y the wings happened to b0
very unpopular. Mr.. Blacks father
was Il whig-a strong whig in every
sense--and so were most of his numer-
Gus relatives, and this, as well as some
other causes, made that party willing
to see him take a step upward iii po-
litical life. But certain leading MEM
bcr5 of the wing party, unwilling to
lose the district to a democrat, held
conference and took counsel among
themselves how they might save it. 1t
was necessary to kill off both their own
unpopular candidate and the danger
Gus one whom the democrats had
brought into the field. This they did
eiicc tually by putting on their ticket
the elder Mr.. Black, the father Of the
democratic candidate, who retired not
only with grace, but apparently with
pleasure, insomuch that he was for
while out Of favor with the democracy for
supposed completely III the maneuvre.
His father was elected without opposi-
ton.
Here is another incident which dates
later in his life, but long before he
came to Washington in the public
service. The Harrisburg Guards
changed their name to the "Cam@On
Guards and Simon Cameron gave
them $500 Jack Ogle brilliant young
fellow. afterward an NJ. G., friend and
relative Of Judge Black, was captain of
the Somerset Guards, a gay volunteer
company at Judge Blacks home.
Hearing of Cameron's donation the
captain called on Judge Black and in
sisted upon a similar gift TO his compa-
ny to which the Judge asscnted, with
out hesitation. upon the same condi-
ton as to change of name. Certain.
W. said the captain, eve expect moth
ing else" ''Then it is settled said
the Judge, "but, Jack, think how the
new name will sound. May it not be
possible that some Of your men will
dislike to be called "the Bdck Guards.
The captain saw it in an instant and
said He would not bear such name
for any money"

on officer who was mlsled by the
resemblance of the prisoner who
was charged with intoxication. The
officer stated that he found his priso-
ner in Chatham street late on Monday
night, unable to take care Of himself.
The prisoner gave his name as Patrick
A. Gallagher, II lawyer recently from
Leadville where he had made some
money and owned a great deal of pro
pertv. He used to be attached to Gen.
Clusters Company in the Black Hills.
He had wife and two children, and
at present had "A temporary residence
mt the Hoffman House. The magist-
rate said he felt for him in his present
plight, and would only commit him to
the prison to recover from the effects of
mis- spree. After the prisoner had slept
a'couple of hours, he was visited by a
reporter Of THE STAR, to whom he said
that after accommodating some property
had n little money, he left the West
and came East about the end Of last
May.
Gallagher was walking about the
stone corridor in his bare feet. lie

Of dark cloth, over which was faded
and somewhat frayed brown over-coat.
He added after pause, that he had
been under the command Of Gen,
Custer before the Black Hills expedi-
ton. At the time of the massacre Of
the Big Little Horn, he was stationed
at Fort Laramie. In 1875 he moved to
Leadville and prospected in mining,at
the same time practicing his original
profession of the law Mining proved
profitable and he accumulated a good
deal Of property, which he yet owns.
Last summer he came to this city, and

him and he spent his money freely.
