Sons, and, falling, went 10 California, where
he now is. He was boru about 1884, and
came 10 St. Paul in 1850. He was a quiet
person, very deliberate in his movements
and in his talk; never in a hurry; 10000
Indians on the war path could not make him
run, and he was as odd in his
ways as his appearance indicated
originality; yet he was a moral,
reputable citizen, against whom we can say
nothing, except that he was awfully slow,
and that he had right to be If he so desired.
CHARLES ]. HEYNIss.
We have hitherto only incidentally allu-
ded TO Mr.. Henniss, simply because we have
had no means of knowing or ascertaining
his history. He was of Irish descent, and
came TO st. Paul in either 1S49 or 1850, and
was born about 1884, being, at the first time
we saw him, not far from twenty-five years
of age. De was a slender, genteel
man of good address, and pos
sessed composing and oratorical
abilities, which, had he lived, would have
won for him a name, but his social qualities
ran away with his judgment, and at an early
age he passed 10 the grave. We remembe
some of his after-dinner speeches, and they
were fervent, spicy, original, and, withal,
quite effective. He wrote in an easy, flow
ing style, and was really a man OF much
promise, but too much sociability ended in
his untimely death.
THOMAS ALBERT JACKSON, (Colored.)
Born in 1926, in the town of Princess
Ann, Maryland. At the age of eight years,
1854, his mother moved to Philadelphia so
that her son Albert might be sent to school.

York, where Thomas Albert remained until
1874, when he came west. In 1910 he en-
tered the office of DIR. William s. Pelton "a
brother-in-law of Samuel j. Tilden) as Office

culture but without success.
On the 18th OF June, 1852, he landed in
st. Paul, and was Immediately employed by
Arson Northrop as stewart for the St. Charles
hotel, st. Anthony; and in 1854 went into
the capitol, st. Paul, as janitor, during j.
Travis Rosser's secretaryship. He. has filed
many places Of trust and responsibility; was
appointed by Gov. Ayerril in 1872, a mail
agent, filing that Office ten years, and has
been latterly in the custom house Pembina
and st. Vincent, as inspector.

colored man and greatly interested in pol

a barber in this city; removed to Duluth; OBJ

JACKSON AND AN EPISODE.
If we remember correctly, it was jackson
whom Rosser, Virginian, then Secretary of
the Territory, i'll treated, and which called
forth criticism on the part Of the st. Paul
Daily Times, then edited by the writer.
Rosser resented the article and threatened TO
whip the editor, but we wrung our revenge on
him by manufacturing speech reported TO
have been given at a public dinner, which,
under the circumstances he was incapable
of making, and he was so pleased with our in
genious method of ''wbipping the devil
around the stump" that be not only thanked
us cordially for what we had done, but ever
after was our firm friend. jackson now lives
in Minneapolis. Rosser is dead.
DEATHS IN 1852.
Hon. II. L. Tildeu, first Marshal of the
Territory. and Secretary of the Council, James
NJ. Goodhue, E. S. Terry, murdered by the
Sioux, Daniel Hopkins, Robert Hughes, z.
Keller, j. Q. A. Altman, r. o. Walker.
ON Stills.
A correspondent writing from St. Paul in
the fall of 1852, says:
''My ears, at every turn, are saluted with
the everlasting din Of land landi land war
rants town lots, ETC., etc. / turn away sick
and disguised. Land at breakfast, land at
dinner, land at supper, and until II O'Clock,
land; then land in bed until their vocal or
gans are exhausted-then they dream and
groan out land? Everything is artificial,
foating-the excitement of trade, specula-
ton and expectation are now running high,
and will, perhaps, for year or so-but it
must have reaction.n
And the reaction did come in 1857, and
land, and fortunes, and credits, and almost
everything else went out of sight, and men
commenced over again their eventful lives,
and land again gained its footing, and pros
perity again returned; and what was once
wild speculation, has become solid and firm.
ANDREW JACKSON MORGAN.
Young Morgan resembled Stephen A.
Douglas, only Morgan was smaller, but he
had the same caste of countenance aud the
same peculiar form, and both were Demo-
Gratis "Little Jack,'' as he was Familiarity
called, was born in Ohio, somewhere about
the year 1927; was printer
by trade and came to st. Paul in 1852. Here
he took an active part in politics, especially
those of the Democratic party, and on all oc-
casions, and everywhere "Little Jack" was
the mouth-piece of the Democracy. He was
at one period in his history editor of a paper
in the Minnesota Valley, and was chief clerk
Of the Senate at the time Gen. German was
Governor, we think in the year 1855. His
head was large, his tone self-assuring, his
air that of man Of importance, while his
small, chubby body resembled somewhat
a banty rooster. He was connected with
a good family in Ohio, one of his brothers
having been Speaker of the Ohio House of
VIM. Moot, John P. Owens,
Bill Shelly, Jack Morgan What memories
these four names bring up, especially out Of
the dark, almost forgotten political past
Jack died some % or 20 years ago, from an
overdose of hilarity; Owens passed away
only few months since, Shelly and Moot
still live to enjoy the fruits of a Democratic
victory, while the wheel of Time continues
its everlasting revolution. And so
come the weeks, and the months, and
the years, and the centuries, and with them
the young, and the ardent, and the ambiti-
Gus, and in the eternal march Of time they
will all be swept into the ocean of eternity,
making way for others, who, in their turn,
will follow their footsteps.
MARsHALLING INTO COLUMN.
In marshalling into column the host of old
settlers, away back from the year 1888 up to
1852, it would be marvellous if some of the
weary did not drop by the way side aud get
lost in the general tramp: and conscious of
ha lar T., -
patched several trusty orderlies, who are or
dered to pick up the stragglers and bring
them into headquarters. By these means he
hopes to have every soldier in the ranks when
he marches. at the head of his column, down
into history.
A Wonderful Discovery.
