HAS REASON To REMEMBER HIM few
days ago an item was published in the
RECORD UNION sitting that Sheriff Wilson
had received letter from T. NJ A. Hunt,
of Belfast, Grant county, Arkansas, max
ing inquiry concerning his father, Oscar
Hunt, who came to California in 1872,
and had not been heard from by his son
since the war. The item was read by Add.
C. Hinkson. who Immediately remembered
Mr.. Hunt, having become acquainted with
him in 1852, at DrytOwn, and resided in
that town with him for several years, and
until Mr. HinksOn removed to Sacramento.
He last heard from Mr.. Hunt in 1869, the
latter then being in Nashville. FL Dorado
county. Mr.. Hinkson has reason to keep
him in kindly remembrance. In 1858 Mr..
Hinkson's brother was attacked with small
pOx and died. HinksOn took the disease
from him, and for long time was terribly
ILL., and for two or three weeks blind. 1t
was almost impossible to secure nurses for
him, and but for Mr. Hunt he might not
have recovered. That gentleman, who was
then keeping meat market procured an
old suit of clothes and kept them in a suit
able place, away from habitations, and
every night for month, after closing bust
ness, he would slip away to where the
clothes were kept, don them, repair to Mr..
HinksOn's residence and take care of him
until the approach of daylight made it
necessary to leave before people could see
him. He escaped the disease himself and
did not communicate it to others

Ayfsyeiing Mayor.

rn.ddelphia has gay and festive mayor,
who is conspicuous for the amount of
time that he manages to spend away from
the Quaker City. Itwould be interesting to
find out the exact number of days that he
spent at his office since his election. Shortly
after he took his seat he started up to
Canada where his sayings and doings were
faithfully chronicled by the associated
press correspondents of the places where
he visited. When the Liberty bell project
was first touched, it tickled the fancy of
Mayor Smith to such an extent that he
advocated it in and out of councils with a
persistency that was truly admirable. His
fine eye had detected a chance for junket-
ing expedition, and few mayors can re-
sist temptations Of that nature.
Mayor Smith formed the advance guard
for the Revolutionary relic and he posed 10
his hearts content before New Orleans
audience as the first municipal officer of the
city in which the old bell rang out its invo.
cations to freemen in the days of '76. He
was received with distinguished considera.
tion in the Crescent City, as was fit and
proper, albeit some might be found who
would see in the honor paid to Philadel-
phia's mayor an illustration Of how a
prophet is not without honor save in his
own country.
But Mayor Smith, fond as he is of letting
his office run itself, is fonder still of keep
ing his name before the public. The
bubble reputation is to him a very sub
stantial reality, and he is in thorough ac-
cord with Byron's sentiment, It's pleas
ant, sure, to see ones name in print" On
his way home from New Orleans, he seizes
upon the occasion at Jacksonville, Florida,
to telegraph to the Philadelphia county
controller and clerks of councils his ap-
proval of the amended appropriations
ordinance passed by councils on Thursday.
Perhaps he had forgotten that his silence
for ten days would have been equivalent to
assent.
Altogether Philadelphia mayor seem;
to subserve 4 purpose far more ornamental
than useful. Perhaps it is just as wei
that it is so. The life of this great city
does not seem to suffer any jar in the alb
sence of its mayor, and it may be just a!
well to let him travel the globe over with
out adverse criticism, for it may keep hin
out Of heap Of mischief.
