The Arbutus

Looks SO Fhy and innocent,
Bushes like startlt thing;
Who would think it kGe " the whit le
OF the secrets of the spring?
Keeps its rosy ear laid low,
Harking barking at the ground,
Never missed syllable
OF the slightest stir or sound.
Chuckled often In its leaves,
Thinking how the world would wait;
Searching vainly for q flower,
Wou udering whS the spring was late.
Other secrets, too, 1t knows
SscrGts whispered DER its head;
Underneath its snowy veil
Oft these secrets turned it red.
Whisper on, glad girls and boyst
Ssalsd the fragrant rosy v ellis;
You and spring are safe alike
Neve- the arbutus tells!

A Pretended African Missionary Con.
fesses Doing Some Tall SwindIing.
NEW LONDON, Cor

NEW LONDON, konn., April y.
"Rev" A. w. T. Smith, colored, now in
Jail waiting trial in the superior court for
swindling, under the pretense of being an
African missionary made a confession to an
associated press reporter, tonight. He says
he was a slave in st. Louis and bought his
freedom in 1862 from Mary Smith. He
raised $500 for the purchase money in New
England churches and was licensed as a
preacher when a slave bv Rev. VIM. Clark
of st. Louis, colored. Smith said he led q
christian life for a time and then took to
swindling church people and drink. He was
never authorized as a missionary, but made
a good living by false representations. He
had been in the swindling business 10 years
and had used all the money received on him
self. He had never gave cent for mission
ary work ahd never had an accomplice. He
is the original Smith who secured the letter
of recommendation from John B. Cough,
and that Cough had tried to get it for 10
years. He had been to Africa several times
Would work his passage to America and after
swindliRg the church people by getting money
to found a missionary home for old people
in SeDegambia he would return to Africa.
He says he expected to found a home for
himself. When in Africa he was a farmer
and four of his children had died there. His
method was to travel about and get ministers
to recommend him to the people as mis-
sionary. He would make remarks about the
customs and needs of the African people and
then take up a collection. He was inst start
ing out on swindiBg tour when arrested.
Was never arrested before. He will turn
over a new leaf and when released labor for
the conversion of his race. He is 80 years
old He will plead guilty and throw himself
on the mercy of the court.

has received despatch from Gen. Gordon.
bearing the date of March 50, which gives
the following information On March 25th
Gen. Gordon dissrmed $50 Bashi Bazouks,
who had mutinied. The following day he
shelled the rebel camp on the Blue Nile,
killing forty of the enemy. On March eth
the rebels fired on khartoum from the village
opposite, but this they were soon forced To
evscuate, losing 80 men in the engagement.
and Bashi Bazouks occupied the village and
held it until March 3oth. On that day the
rebels returned in force and drove them out,
but then returned themselves TO the White
Nile. The district is quiet. The khartoum
market is well supplied, Mahdi has sent the

THE DANIEL STElNMANN.
The Captain Makes a Sworn Statement
Concerning the Wreck.

HALIFAX. April 9.
The inquiry into the loss of the Daniel
SteinmanD was resumed today.
Capt. Schoonhoven made a sworn state
ment concerning the wreck, which was
substantially the same as was published. He
heard the fog whistle half a minute before
the vessel struck but then it was too late.
He considered the caRse of the loss of the
ship to have been the strong current to the
westward. He had overrun his distance and
perhaps there was some magnetic attraction
which put him further to the south than he
thought to be. He had estimatated that he
was five to seven miles astern of the real
position. Had gun been fred from the is
land when the signal men saw him he would
have kept off and saved the ship. The gun
ners had since told him they had instructions
not to fire while the fog whistle was in order
and working.
Mr.. Johnston of the fisheries and marine
department corroborated this statement in
regard to to their instructions. Had there
heen life boat on the island they might have
been warned of and many more lives saved
