DEATH or THE OLDEST PERSON
IN AMERICA.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST PERSON
IN AMERICA.
On Sunday evening, January
10th, 1881, there died in this city
undoubtedly the Oldest woman Ia
America, and as in nearly all
previous instances, WAS colored
person. Her name was Sarah
Clark, and rumor had 1t she froze
TO death, but upon Investigation
made by friends of the old woman
the rumor proved unfounded, and
no doubt her death resulted from
sheer old age. She was the great
grandmother of Henry Williams
the driver ola dray team In this
city, and from him we cleaned the
following particulars of this re-
markable old woman. Mr.. Will
liams ia quite an old man-fifty

Mrs. Clark appeared as old to him
then az before her DEATH
She never could tell when she
was born, but often stated
that before the revolutionary
war she was the mother of two
children. She did not know where
she resided at that time, but a
long while after she was taken to
Kentucky as q slave. There sh Q
lived for number of years, feeling
then as though she had seen
enough of this world and battled
with its troubles sufficiently TO de.
serve a different life, but that was
not her fate. In 184Q or therea-
abouts, she was brought 20 Mis-
souri,, and as a slave was shifted
here and there until after the late
war, when she settled down to die
near Boonville, Mo. In 1875 she
Came to Rolla on visit to her
great-grandehild, Mr.. Williams.
AS to her exact age nobody knows,
but If what she told Is true she
must have been 126 years DID,
She also stated that she at one
time belonged to the Clark family
of Howard county, this State, and
distinctly remembered nursing the
grandfather of Gen. Clak, Con-
gresham for the Eleventh dis
trict, and who was afterwards an
officer In the war of 1872. After

came among us we were furious
with the Directorate for having

time Napoleon was only twenty
six years of age.) He was short

mo, not many. mamma; If /

NICE"
a little girl who had seen the
snow come and go nine times lay
dying in her humble home on st.
Antoine street. Weeks and weeks
the fever had burned within her
and its fierce fire showed itself in
the deep blue eyes, and the lovely,
innocent face. The mother, an
ever constant watcher at the suf-
ferer's pillow, had never given up
hope, but the child, with that
knowledge which seems to come
to all before death, knew that she
would never join her merry play
mates over on the school ground.
Day by day as the fever burned
she had wished for the snow to
come, and when the white flakes
fell the loving mother changed the
child's position that she might,
unwarned, catch the first glimpse
of the fieecy snow. The child
gazed out into the Hurried air long
and earnestly and then, when the
pain made her writhe, she turned
an appealing look to the sad-faced
mother, and said:
"But, mamma, don't believe /
shall ever have another sleigh
ride. Now promise me if this
snow is on the ground when | die,
you'll have my coffin carried to
the grave on Sleigh"
"Why, my sweet child, why do
you make such request? You
shall not die-you will grow bet
ter tomorrow"
"But, mamma, promise me, will
you? Please, mamma, please"
"Yes, darling, yes"
ooh, thank you, mamma; that's
so nice. See, it is growing dark

she woke to hear music and bells

turned to look at a small funeral
procession, and wondered why the

upon runners so early in the
season.

A RcprOof From Washing
ten.

One day during the American
Revolution an officer, not dressed
in uniform, was passing on horse
back by some military works that
were being repaired by q small
squad of soldiers, and he found the
leader ofthe party merely stand
lug by aud looking on at tho vper-
ations, which were being carried
on with difficulty, owing to the
small number ofmen. The officer
seeing the state OF affairs, and that
assistance was much needed, in
quired of the man why he did not
render little aid instead ofstand-
ing idle. The latter in astonish-
ment turned round, it is said,
"with all the pomp of an Empe-
ror," and replied, "Sir, l am a cor
poral!" "You are, are your" said
the officer; IL did not know that"
and raising his hat in solemn
mockery he continued, 81 ask your
pardon, Mr.. Corporal" He then
dismounted from his horse, threw
of his coat, and not until he was
tired out from sheer hard work
did the stranger cease to render
his assistance to the squad; and
then, turning 10 the corporal, he
said to him, "Mr. Corporal, when
you have such another job as this,
and have not men enough, send
for George Washington, and he
will come and help you a second
time.' And, to the utter amaze
ment of the poor corporal, he
found that the unknown officer
who had addressed him was in
deed no other than his own Com
Chief.

little child, the pet of the entire house
hold, was taken sick at fashionable board
ing house few weeks ago. A very young
and handsome physician, who was the medi-
cal favorite about the premises, was called in
and brought the patient safely through its ill
ness. Later on he sent in his bill, which was
for $12 with rebate of "S4 for kisses" The
fond mother regarded this as a very neat
thing and delicate compliment for her child
and proudly exhibited the document among
her friends. Where the kisses came from,
and who contributed to the doctors enjoy
ment, the bill did not state. The mother
supposed, as a matter of course, that her Off
spring was the one meant, but some of the
boarders slyly intimated that explanations
were in order, and that the osculatory mys-
terry ought to be investigated. The question
was taken up and discussed until it became a
subject of comment about the whole house.
The innocent mother continued to exhibit the
slip of paper, and one day brought it out in the
presence of young and quite pretty maiden,
whoha only lately been onthe sick list. "a re-
bate for kisses!" she exclaimed, when the matter
was explained to her; why isn't that nice
but then"-and she paused, while frown ap-
peared on her face and an angry flush crept
over her cheek. Some emotion was strug-
Cling for mastery. The flush deepened and
she shook her head defanly as she complet-
ed the sentence: ''But the mean thing new
er cut down my bill cent, and don't think
it is fair" The outburst of laughter that fol-
lowed brought the fair maiden to a realiza-
tion that she had said something dreadful.
She had betrayed herself. The careless doc
tor had got his bills mixed, and but for that
unfortunate slip the mystery would probably
never have been solved and the juvenile pa
tient would have received the credit of the
medicated kisses. Chicago Times.

In biographical sketch of the late Dr.
Holland in the Century for December, Ed
ward Eggleston says: Before the founding
of the Memorial church, he was once accused
of teaching heresy to his Bible-ciass, and an
informal investigation was had, at which he
would give no statement of his doctrine but
ing That is my creed His heresies, what
ever they were, seem never TO have passed
beyond the nebulous stage. If he did not for
mulate orthodox statements. he uttered no
heretical ones Heartily religious with pi-
ETY. cast in evangelical molds, he did not care
at all for the molds. There is some interest
ing self-revelation in his will: 4 am thank
full for having enjoyed the privileges of labor
and influence, thankful for wife and children
thankful for all my successes. have inten-
tionally and consciously wronged no man,

in the Infinite Love, as it is expressed TO me
in the life and death of my Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ These closing words. evangel-
ical in sentiment but without dogmatic pre-
life. 1t was not that he shrank from the OBJ
loquy of heresy-he boldly accepted that in
vicarious way. He was the most chivalrous
defender of the right of other people to think
the thought that was in them, and to express
it. He hated in his own brave fashion all &C.
clesiastical processes for suppressing freedom
of thought in established organizations, and
he took all risks of being misunderstood in
defending those who had offended by their
candor and courage"
