Richard POweIps Twenty Sons.

There is a proposition on foot among
the members of the Powell family in
New Jersey to have a family reunion at
Bakley's Run, near Blackwoodtown,
Camden County. during the coming
spring OF summer. 1t was at Bakley' s
Run that old Richard Powell and his
family, famous for its numbers, lived
over a century ago. During his. life
Powell took great pleasure in Boosting
of his large family. 1t was his habit to
remark: 81 have twenty sons and each
one has q sister. - Those to whom he
used to relate this naturally asked:
..What! forty children? can it be pos
sibleP'' Then the old man would laugh
inglY explain that he had twenty sons
and one daughter, so each boy therefore
had sister. Eighteen of the sons were
in the war of the Revolution and were
noted for their bravery and good fight
inc qualities. Many were wounded at
various times, and three of them, as far
as known now by the descendants, were
killed. Previous to the war the sons re-
sided with their parents on a large farm
at Bakley's Run, and aided in working
the farm under the direction of their
father. They are described as having
been large, well-deYeloped and strong
men, and their appearance in the field
was sight well worth seeing. The
daughter wandered off into the woods
one day when only eight years old. She
lost her way, and for three days
and nights nothing was seen of her.
The brothers and their friends industri-
ously searched for the child, and when
she was discovered she had lost her rea-
son. She remained an imbecile all her
life In time the sons married. Some
remained at the old homestead, while
others took up residences in other parts
of the State. Their descendants are now
scattered all over New jersey in large
numbers. -PhikadeLphia Record. -

Last November an English artist
named George Packer, who imprudently
went alone on an excursion from Naples
to Mount VesuVius, was seized by brig
ands and held for ransom in the sum of
$500 franks. Information of his pre-
dicament was conveyed to his friends,
and after few days the money was paid
and he was liberated. One of the most
remarkable things about the affair was
the fact that the bandits received the
ransomer under the walls of the castle Of
ST. Elmo, which is in the heart Of Naples.
and conducted him to cave couple OF
hundred feet away, which was their
rendezvous, and where the artist was
found. &C E1is -

The Planters Monthly for August contain,
four editorials: Is Ratooning Profitable,
The Cane Bofcr, The Stock and Bond Ex.
change, The Libel Suits.
In its mention of the stock board il says.
" The evils of so.callcd stock gambling wcte
recognized by those who organized the ex.
change, and the management Of the associa.
ton was placed in the control Of men who will
prevent, SO far as possible, tendencies in that
direction"
In reviewing the recent libel suits, it well
says; " There is no longer doubt as Ia the
righ, OF the public to know fully the nature OF
the character and conduct Of their servants. A
fountain can not give forth both sweet and bit.
ter waters; neither can a public officer so CON
duct himself as TO scandalize the community
without at the same time prosttuting the dig
nifty of his Office whether such conduct be in
relation TO his SO called private life, or con.
ccrnng his official duties.
The most prctentious paper in the number
is an article on the Boiling of Syrup and
Molasses in Vacuum, to Produce Yellow
Crystal. In the Sugar Cane for March and
April, 1881, appear two articles taken from
The Demetara Argosy, the bulk of which goes
to make up the bulk of the above mentioned
essay in the Planters Monthly. The Areosy
articles are signed can Oversccr," and il Is
possible that Mr.. Louis !. Eionaron, who con
tributes the essay to the Planters Monthly is
the overscer who wrote the articles for the
Demerara Argosy. II not, his work makes
such perilous trespass on the province OF
plagiarism that Mr.. Lionaron may wake up
some fine morning and find himself in the
pillory OF public ccnsurc.

alter state that he did not know the facts in
the matter. 1t is not claimed that the ap.
poin;mcnt is unconstitutional. bu, there is
fitness in things which is recognized by all in
telgent men.
The party who has acted as deputy assessor
is more than likely to be biased, and Is no, fl,
to sit as Judge on the merits of an assessment
which he himself has made. Last year this
district was imposed upon: in that the board OF
appeals consisted of three natives, whereas
the custom which made laws heretofore has
been To have one foreigner and two natives.
Seeing that foreigners own three fourths Of the
taxable property, it would sound better to
hear that two foreigners and one native con.
stliuted the board of appeals. Persons who
are so needless Of the actions of those in au.
