John Brown was almost as well known
an object as the Queen herself. She was
seldom seen in public without this faithful
servant in near attendance. John Brown
was a Scotchman, born near Balmoral
Castle. When quite young he obtained en-
ployment In an humble capacity. By
honesty and faithfulness he advanced until
he came under the eye of the late Prince
Consort, who made him his confidential
valet, and became very much attached TO
him. After the death Of Prince Albert he
became the chief personal attendant on the
Queen, whom he has served with the utmost
devotion ever since.

Pardon of Sergeant Mason.

President Arthur has pardoned Ser
geant Mason; United States army, who
was sentenced by court-martial to
eight years confinement in the Albany
Penitentiary for shooting at Guiteau,
the assassin of President Garfield, and
the sergeant is now with Betty and the
Baby" Sergeant Mason has won the re-
spect and good wishes of all the prison
officials during his eighteen mouths in
generation. 1t is said that he was one of
the best behaved men in the prison. He
has worked steadily IN the shoe shops
ever since his commitment.
When he first went to the Penteu-
tiary he had hopes of immediate release
by habeas corpus proceedings, and for
several months awaited a discharge
without losing faith. For a year past,
however, he has been respondent of re-
lease, though attending faithfully to his
duties. When Mason went to ALBANY
he was in misera BILE health, a state which
be attributed to the rigors Of prison life
in Washington. His physical condition
is now good.

sojourner Truth.

Sojourner Truth, the celebrated colored
Lecturer, died at Battle Creek, Mich, at
4 o'clock last Monday morning.
Sojourn Truth was colored woman of
remarkable energy and vitality. For
the past ten years or so she had been
living near Detroit, where she owned
considerable property, purchased with
the savings of her long and active life.
She claimed to be 107 years old, but this
was generally believed to be an exag-
geration. Sojourn was born, brought up
and married in slavery and was already
past the prime of life when she acquired
her freedom. She managed, in the face
of formidable obstacles, to acquire the
rudiments of an education. After be.
coming free she devoted her life chiefly
to plans for the improvement of her race;
and, besides addressing popular audi
ences in every part of the United States,
this poorly educated but whole souled
old woman has been admitted to con-
ferences with Presidents, members of
Congress and others high in authority.

DR.. FRANKLIN relates that in time
of great dependency among the first
settlers of New England, it was proposed
in one of their public assem- olies to pro-
claim a day of fasting. An old farmer
arose, spoke of their provoking heaven
with their complaints. reviewed their
mercies, showed that they had much to
be thankful for, and moved that instead
of appointing dav of fasting, they APP
point day of thanksgiving and the
old farmers motion prevailed and that
originated eur now generally observed
Thanksgiving day. For many years the
day was only observed in the New Eng
land States, the Governor of each State
issuing his proclamation. Then one by
one many of the Middle aud Western
States adopted the day, until in 1862
President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed
the first National Thanksgiving to be
held on the first Thursday in the month
of November.

THE Cincinnati, o., Commercial Gazette
thinks that the Democratic party has it
in it's power to put stop to the outrages
that are perpetrated in its name /; but will
it do it? We fear not. We look in vain
to its press for condemnation of the
Virginia outrages, or even for a fair state
ment of the facts. The Democratic lead
ers know that upon the solid South their
hope of success depends. and they are
ready to gather in these votes and count
them, and profit by them regardless of
the methods by which they are secured.
If, therefore, a Democratic president
should be elected in 1894, he would owe
his election to the solid South and to the
methods which were made SO conspicuous
by the Bouroons of Virginia in the late
farce which is miscalled an election. 1t
seems ordered that the battle of civliza-
ton against barbalism must be fought
over again in 1884, and the people who
are on the side of the former may as well
begin to prepare their ballots.

A LAWYERS DETERMINATION.
He Will No Longer Defend Liquor Sell
ers-His Explanation.
From the Hartford, CT, Post. I

From the Hartford, CT, Post
Recently Samuel F. JONES' the prominent
criminal lawyer, announced in the Police
Court that hereafter he will not appear as
counsel in the criminal courts of men ac-
cused of violating the liquor laws. A re-
porter called upon Mr. Jones and asked him
the reasons for his action. Mr.. Jones, in
reply; said: 1t is doubtful whether there has
been in this State a more general and de
cided feeling that something must be done
to stay the ravages of incompetence than
exists to-day. 1t is by no means confined
to what are known as temperance people or
temperance organizations. Our business
men Of every class know that they are taxed
to care and provide for an army of the poor
and unfortunate, to say nothing of the GRIM
inal classes, brought to that condition by
drink. The prisons, insane asylums; poor
houses, and numberless charitable institu-
tons all about us furnish abundant proof
And all this misery is t-lerated in order
that few may make a little money.
There is no Disgusting the fact that COM
modities unhealthy and poisonous, are sold
right here in Hartford under the guse and
name of spirituous liquors. The good Sa-
maritans, recognizing the fact that legisla-
ton in the present condition of political par
ties cannot or does not furnish the relief
desired or the reform demanded, are max
ing vigorous efforts in this and adjoining
states to create public sentiment against
liquor drinking. They are reinforced by
class of men whose efforts must, and will,
be productive of great good. Indeed, some
of our best criminal lawyers say publicly
that they will no longer appear in court as
defenders or apologists for men prosecuted
for violation of the law relative to the sale
of liquors. For myself, have become per-
sonally disguised with the whole liquor
traffic, and although not a professed tenn
perance man, shall hereafter have nothing
to do with the defence of men accused of
violating the liquor law.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Observation-Disclosures.

The Fight for Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House has Boone Very Spirited.
A Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San writes as follows of the
canvass for Sergeant-at- Arms of the
House: The fight for Sergeant at Aims
of the House has become as spirited and
exciting as the contest for the speaker
ship. 1t had been supposed until within
fow days that the contest for this posi-
ton would be fought out between the
two Ohio candidates, Mr. Jno. G.. Thomp
son, who has already held the place for
six years, and ex Representative Leedom
but a battle-scarred veteran from New
England, in the person of Gen. james b. .
Colt, has appeared in the lists, and will
make dashing fight on his war record.
He says both candidates for clerk of the
House were Confederate officers. and
under the circumstances he has no doubt
of his election. In the meantime the
fight between the two Ohio candidates
is waxing hotter and hotter, and Gen.
Colts confidence in his own prospects
may not be unwarranted.

The temperance people Of Denton,
Caroline county, are after the postmas-
ter of that town, who has drug store
in connection with his postoffice, in
which, it is charged, he sells liquor ille-
gally, and declare, if needs be, they
will hold a public indignation meeting
if the Postofice Department refuses to
displace him. Denton is not the only
town on the Eastern Shore afflicted
with that class of drug stores. Turn
such rascals out.
