Rather Romantic.

A letter written from Salem Va says
One of the most remarkable characters of
the day arrived here on Friday night. He
was no other than colored man named
Dr. William Key, from Shelbyville, Tenn.
When the war closed he found himself
free and his old master aud mistress penni-
Jess. Ills former owners gave him a fair
education while slave, which he made
use of by entering college and becoming a
veterinary surgeon and an M. d. With
the knowledge thus gained lie invented
ainiment the sale of which has netted him
a fortune. While on the high road to
prosperity he never lost sight of his former
frisnds-- his old master aud mistress--but
kept them up in there former style of living
whiIe they remained on earth. He ther
undertook the education of their son by
sending him TO college; aud for these
reasons style William Key a remarkable
man, because there are not many ex-slayes
dat would have done as he did, lie car

A Catish's DeadyI Bite.

Andrew Norman prominent farmer
living a few miles north of Newcomerstown
Ohio, is now lying in critical condition
from the effects of what is supposed to be
biood-poisoning. His case is very singu-
lar and remarkable one. lie was fishing a
few weeks ago, and while holding a. huge
catfish it horned him through the hand
lie suddenly became very i'll and his hand
and arm began swelling to enormous pro-
portions. He has not since been able to
leave his house and his sufferings are in
tense, his whole body at times being very
much bloated and swollen. The most sin
gular part of the case is that when Mr..
Norman received the wound he was seized
with the horrible thought that it would
prove fatal, and although several weeks
have now elapsed, this awful forebodng
still clngs to him and he seems unable to
divest his mind of the dreadful conclusion.

A Bad Woman.

Hiram Berry of Louisville took young
wife, though he is 20. His sons and
daughters made SO much trouble on the
subject that he reluctantly obtained a
divorce, the character of the bride enabling
him to regain his freedom without difficulty.
But he could not voluntarily give her up,
after all, and at the end of IL few months he
sought to renew his oourtship. She threw
a can of concentrated lye into his face,
burning him so seriously that he may
never see again.

During the recent Christian conference at
San Francisco, those present were invited to
put in writing any question of religious bear
ing which might occur to them, and pass
them up to Mr.. Moody. Before the hour had
expired he was constrained to tell the people
that they need send up no more, as he already
had more than he could answer before mid
night. Then he took the folded slips one af-
ter another, read them, and answered their
queries off hand. Many Of them were On
questions of church discipline and manage
ment, and other things of interest only to
church people. The following are samples

General Ambrose E. Burnside died Septem-

graduated at West Point in 1917. and served
as an officer of artillery on the frontiers until
1853, when he resigned and engaged in the
manufacture of arms, especially the rife which
bears his name. General Burnside re- entered
the army at the opening of the rebellion in
1861, and served 4ill the close, serving with
distinction in both the Eastern and Western
armies. He was brave and skilful soldier,

himself, not qualified to command large armies.

An Interesting Relic.

Col. John Hay, of "Jim Bludso" and
Little Brooches" fame, has in his pos
session an interesting relic in the shape
of a lock Of hair from the head of
General Washington. 1t was presented
to him by Col. James y. Hamilton, son
of Alexander Hamilton, and now
eighty-four years of age. Col. Hamil-
ton received the relic from his mother;
the paper originally containing it bears
the endorsement: General Washing
tons hair; given to James \, Hamilton
by his mother" 4 thread is tied tight
ly around the center Of the lock of
hair, which is about three inches long,
and without the least tendency to curl.
About two-thirds of the hair is of
snowy wbiteness, while the rest is Of
light brown or auburn hue. Coming
in a way so direct as to guarantee its
authenticity, the relic is highly priced
by Col. Hay, who is about to have it
framed, in order the better to insure its
preservation.

How the Married Life Of John Wesley
Ended,

Mr.. George Dawson, in a late lecture
on the great founder of Methodism,
gave the following details. When
Wesley settled he said, ut would be
more useful to marry" There is moth
ing like giving that sort of pretty fac
ing to your wishes. l have known a
friend when he was going to move
from a little living to a large one, say
that it was because he was going to
"a larger sphere of usefulness" A
certain witty man used to say that
whenever a clergyman went from alit-
tie living to a large one, he did so be-
he had got q call, but that he
wouldwant a"good loud hollo to take him
from a large to a little living" Wes-
ley married a widow, who, through her
jealousy, led him a life Of wretched-
ness and misery. At last his spirit
was up, and he wrote to her: "Know
me and know yourself. Suspect me no
more; provoke me no more; do not
any longer contend for mastery, for
power, money or praise; be content to
be a private insignificant person.
known and loved by God and me-" 1t
was not likely that a woman would be
pleased at being recommended to be an
insignificant person. After twenty
years of disquietude she one day left
him. He bore it philosophically. He
went even beyond it-he took his dialy
and put the most pithy entry into it l
eve met with in a diary: mon cam
1eIiQut, non demiSi, non 1~ecocabo,"
which may be translated thus: Il did
not leave her; L did not send her away;
| shan't send for her back" And so
ended the married life of John Wesley.

Providence, Lowell, and Columbus, the
volume of business was slightly small
Ter than in April, 1880, but not enough
to indicate any important change in the
situation. Everywhere else more bus
mess was transacted, RS is proved by
payments actually made, than in any
previous month of April in the history
of the country. If the decline in pri-
ces of many leading articles of COM
merce be taken into account, it will be
seen that the volume of business,
measured in quantities exchanged, was
larger than ever before at every city,

kee.

The conclusions to which these re-
turns irresistibly lead is that the pub
lie has been greatly deceived by cur
rent reports in regard to the condition
of business throughout the country.
There is only one city milwaukee, in
which any considerable decrease in the
volume of business appears. Snow and
flood seriously affected operations dur
ing part of the month there and in the
region tributary tothat city. Philadel-
phia and New Orleans also fail to exceed
the record Of April, 1880, but do not fall
far behind, and the transfer of cotton
business alone from New Orleans to
Galveston, a city from which nc clear

plains the decline at that point, AT

GROWING GREATNESS.
Gratifying Deductions from Compar-
ison OF the Exchanges Last Month
With Those Of April, 1880.


The New York Public says: With
full exchanges for April before us, in
which the business actually transacted
in all parts of the country has recorded
its own volume, it is not possible to
conclude that everything is going to
the bad. Comparison, it should be no.
ticed, is with the month of April, 1880,
in which business was extraordinarily
large. although much of it resulted in
loss instead of profit. The amount Of
transactions was much larger than it
had ever been in the month of April,
and a reaction from a period of eXtrav-
agant imitation Of prices had just be-
gun. On the other hand, current
reports have indicated that the bust
ness of the country in April, 1881, was
completely Frustrated by disaster; that
many roads were ruined or blockaded,
many farms and villages desolated by
flood, and vast quantities of grain in
stock destroyed; that almost every
branch of trade was stagnant and dead,
and that wholesale dealers waited in
vain for buyers, who were crippled 10y

to pass then that 4,S20,128,6S0 was
paid through the banks, against a.
382,427,259 in the same month Of 1880?
Speculation in stock does not account
for the fact; for, as will be shown,
exchanges arising from sales of stock
were precisely the same proportion to
the transactions of April l, 1881 and
1880; nor a it be said that New York
operations, possibly inflated 10y specu-
lations in merchandise, account for the
increase; for the aggregate of eXchang-
es at twenty-five other cities were
81, 114,07S,655 in April, 1881, against
81, 006,S14,926 in April, 1880. At New
York the increase was 9.0 per cent,
and precisely the same if double the
value of stocks sold be deducted for
both years.
The following shows the amount of
exchanges for the week ending April
80, and for four weeks ending on that
date at Hartford and New Haven, with
returns for the full month at all other
places:
