THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

The calamity which has befallen
those unfortunate people residing on
the territory devastated by the over
flow of the Mississippi river excites
the profound sympathy of their fellow
countrymen, and prompt measures of
relief have been adopted by the
authorities. Possibly the immediate
effect will be to quicken public opinion
in the contiguous states on the ques-
ton of the proper protection of the
rich lands of the Mississippi valley,
and the substantial improvement of
the river navigation. If it does this,
the great food will not be altogether
barren of good results. The question
of the improvement of the Mississippi
river has been agitated for the past
fifty years-the Strengthening and
deepening of the channel, and the
building of permanent, substantial
levees That the first is the work of
the general government cannot be
very well denied that the second is
the work of the states to be benefited
is equally incontestable. Let us hope
that the obligations devolying upon
each will be early realized and dis

keepsle. About this time the late
Ge1T1t Smith appointed him an agent
for the purpose of distributing a large
gift OF lands in New York State among
colored men. In 1850 Mr. Garnet
was invited to lecture in England,
and made an address in Exeter Hall.
and was elected a delegate to the
Peace Congress held at Frankfort-on-
the-Main. At its conclusion he ira
veled through Bavaria, Prussia and
France. In 1852 he was sent by the
United Presbyterian Church of Scot
land as missionary to Jamaica,
West Indies.
MIR. Garnet received a unanimous
call to the pulpit of the Shiloh Pres
byterlan Church, then at Prince and
MarionSts., New York city, whileat ia
maica, and soon became the leader of
the colored population in this city.
In 1861 he revisited England, as the
president of the African Colonization
Society, but soon returned and vol
unteered as chaplain to the colored
troops at Rikers Island. His house
escaped the riots of 1863 by the fore
sight OF his daughter, who had
wrehcned the door-plate from the
door. He early took an active in
terest i'll the poor people of his race,
and organized several charitable
societies which care for all the co1ored
peopleiwho trylto support themselves.
DR.. Garnet was the first colored
man who on any occasion spoke in
the National Capitol, where he
preached on Sunday, February IL,
1865, in the hall of the House of
Representatives. In April of that
year he was called by the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church of Wash
ington, and accepted the call, stay
ing there several years. Again he
returned to his former church, the
Shiloh, NewYork city, and was it's pas
tor until last fall, when he accepted the
appointment of United States Min
lister and Consul to Liberia. The
last official act of President Gar
field on July l was to sign DR.. Gar
nets commission, but DIR. Garnet
remained here until November, when
President Arthur nominated him for
the same Office to which he had been
appointed. His nomination was con-
firmed unanimously by the Senate,
and on November II he sailed on the
steamship Egypt for Englnd Ar
irving there he remained for one
week, and at once started for his field
of labor, where he arrived December
%. He found his daughter, who had
preceded him as teacher, in perfect
health, and was enthusiastically re
ceived by the people of Monrovia,
whose mayor visited this country last
summer.

OBITUARY..
Henry Highland Garnet d.

henry dl80l00Q eIafQet
We condense from the New York
daiies the following obituary of the
late DR.. Garnet.
The Rev. DIR. Henry Highland
Garnet was born in New Market,
Kent County, Maryland, April Is, 1915.
His grandfather, Joseph Trusty,
was stolen from Africa, and endured
all the sufferings incident to pas
sage in the early slaveships.
George Garnet, his father, was a
slave in Maryland, where he married
and remained until 1924. In that
year, obtaining permission to attend
funeral, he took his little family in
covered wagon to Wilmington, Del,
where they remained over night in
the barn of DR.. Garnet, Quaker
The next day the fugitives continued
their escape from slavery, and in a
short time reached New Hope, Penn.
In 1926 the Garnet family went to
New York. The young boy, now ten
years of age, was sent to an African
free school in Mulberry St He took
part with many of his school friends
on July 5, 1927, in celebrating the
abolition of slavery in New York state.
In 1881 Mr.. Garnet entered high
school for colored youth, where he
began the study of Greek and Latin.
He went to Canaan Academy, New
Hampshire, in 1885. One day the
prejudice of the people vented itself
in the formation of mob. ALI day
long he remained in his room casting
bullets for the expected lattack. 1t
soon came, and when the angry
crowd hurled bricks and stones at his
room, he returned the salute with a
large musket, which soon dispersed
the mob. The next year he entered
the Oneida Institute, now Whites
boro Seminary, three miles from
Utica, New York, which was at that
time manual labor school, under
the Presidency of the Rev. Beriah
Green. While riding in street-car
in Utica one day he was dragged out
of the door by several citizens, who
declared most emphatically that "no
New York niger should ride in a
Utica street-car. F" Returning to New
York city in 1910, he delivered his first
public speech, given before the Am
erican Anti-Slavery Society.
After being graduated from the
Oneida Institute, in September, 1910,
Mr.. Garnet settled in Troy, where
he taught the district colored school,
and was ordained ruling elder in
the First Presbyterian Church of that
city. He then studied theology un-
der DIR. Beman and was licensed to
preach by the Presbytery of Troy in
1912. In the next year he was in
stalled pastor Of the Liberty Street
Presbyterian Church in Troy, where
he remained for five years. He was
strong advocate of temperance, and
often delivered addresses on the sub
iect. While a pastor in Troy he
married Miss. Julia Williams. In
1843 he delivered an eloquent speech
in Buffalo, before the Liberty Party
Convention. He addressed the Leg
islature of New. York in January, 1874,
and in 1916 he presided at the Del

HOW LONG WOULD 1T TAKE TO
COUNT 2 MILLIONSl

Over two million volumes of the
revised edition of the New Testa-
ment were sold on the first day of
its issue. These figures can only be
equaled by the enormous sale of
Swayne's Ointment for Itching Piles,
which is universally used as a stan
dard remedy for stopping the itching
at night, when one thinks that pin
worms are crawling about the rec
tum. To calculate the extent of its
sale in actual figures, would involve
the labor of life time. Will you be
pestered longer from the aggrava-
ting Piles?

A GREAT MAN DEAD.

Elsewhere will be found the intel
ligence of the death of DR.. Henry
Highland Garnet, late Minister Resi-
dent and Consul General to the Re
public of Liberia.
Few men have in their lifetime
exerted wider influence or achieved
more enviable reputation than the
late DR.. Garnet. Born slave in that
cruelest of cruel slave territory, the
eastern shore of Maryland, in his
early youth painfully afflicted by the
loss of limb, his efforts to obtain An
education rewarded by rotten eggs, and
threatened tar and feathers, the will,
which in defiance of all these obsta-
cles finally triumphed and secured
for its possessor the fullest need of
all the richest stores of learning and
knowledge, must indeed have been
indomitable
DR.. Garnet's labors for the enfran-
chisement of his fellow men who yet
remained in bondage are part of
the history of the time, known and
read of all men; we need not, at this
time, recant them.
DR.. Garnet's work in the building
of the great fabric of Reconstruction,
his noble pleadings for the elective
franchise, the protection of the civil
rights of the individual and for the
general, free, non-proscrptive edu-
cation of the masses, are yet fresh
in the minds of many of our readers.
None labored more earnestly for the
accomplishment of these results none
more effectively.
In his private life, DIR. Garnet was
universally beloved. Kind, consider
ate Of the wants and feelings of
others, possessed of an inexhaustible
fund of anecdote and information,
ever ready to sacrifice time, comfort
and substance to serve friend, he
was at all times genial companion,
a valuable, trustworthy friend.
Taken as a whole, his life is a
noble exemplar of the possibilities Of
the most despised and lowly born !;
a grand commentary upon the moral
and intellectual brotherhood of man.
His fame is the proud heritage of
his filing a broad, conspicuous,
honorable page in the history of his
country.
Such men as Garnet and Douglass
and Purvis are given to race but
once. He was, possibly, the great
est of the three, certainly the most
representative. It is fitting and
proper, then, that we should for a
moment, at least, take pause to utter
a word in recognition of his labors,
his eminence and worth, to honor his
memory and drop tear Of sadness
and regret for the calamity of his
sudden taking off.
Honor him ye millions whom he served |!
Speak of the beauty of his life,
The mighty eloquence of his word
The noble part he bore in freedoms strife,
The fame which is his death award.
And speak reverently what is said,
For, brothers, A GREAT MAN Is DEAD!

Old Times Talked Over.

Old Times Talked Over.
 The thirty third anniversary of Ethe sailing of the Montague Mining and Trading associ- ation from New Haven, in 1849, occurred on Monday, and the annual festival of the sur vivors was held at the Bradley House in Southington. For many years the members of that association have met either at New Haven, Meriden or Southington, on the 23rd of January, to traverse in memory, over land and sea, the panorama of the scenes they witnessed, the life they led on the Pacific coast and their journeyings tl1ther and hither. Monday, the 2ad, was day of sun- shine, wind and zero weather, in all respects a perfect model of that day thirty three years ago when they embarked on the schooner G. H. Montague. Those who were present thought their Meriden friends had less cour- age to face zero storm than they had thirty three years ago, as not one of them were present on this occasion but after all their discretion in refusing to cross the mountain to Southington was an admirable conclusion. They waited long after the dinner hour, hoping to see them waited until the savory odors from the kitch en called them to duty. Although much disap- pointed in their non-appearance, they freely forgave them and smothered their disappoint- ment in the dining room. There were only four of the gallant forty miners" present, viz: Messrs. Woodruff, Barnes Clark and Porter While testing the good cheer pro- vided by the.genial landlord of the Bradley House, old times were talked over, and though the circle had narrowed down to so few on this occasion, it was found that nineteen of the original number were still living, which is rather more than one- third of the whole There has been no death reported during the last year. When death docs occur in the steadily narrowing circle, it affects the sur vivors like the loss of a near and dear rela- tive, such are the tender recollections of the old associations, connected as they were by 8 season of toil, anxiety and suffering. Not one of the fifty five men who composed the association escaped the pestilence which be- sieged them in California each one for 8 time being brought face to face with death, with none but comrades to care for him.
 The old officers were reappointed for the ensuing year, and 8 desire that the survivors be more fully represented at the next reunion was earnestly expressed -Haptto'd 1imes.
