ONE OF the incidents OF the Urah'
funeral procession is being talked ABOUT
in the papers now that the ceremonies
have been long enough over to permit
neople to discuss such things. a c r
rage was assigned to the ex-Presidents'
and HAYES and Arthur occupied it much
to the latter's chagrin. Hayes wanted
to be friendly and social, but Arthur
was cold and reserved, never once
designing to address a remark to has ex-
Fraudulency. When spol to he an
swered In monosyllables, and finally
HAYES grew tired of vain effort to
draw his companion into conversation
and sat in his corner sulking, both be-
ing glad when the ride was over and
thew we're released from each others
presence. 1t was Hayes WHO turned
Arthur out of the New York Custom
House, saying: II dismiss you in
order that the Office may be honestly
administered" and it was Arthur who
hated Hayes before and after the
election with an intensity that is seldom
found among politicians. =.

Suggestions from a Cleaner.

To the Editor of TIE HERALD:
In looking through Main Street and
elsewhere great number of men and
boys are seen idly lettering away their
time. Ask the reason, and the reply is
hard times and nothing to do. Loafng
is harder than honest work. We have
hard times, now, and consequently will
groE harder, as fall and winter ap
proaehes. Among the number waiting
for something to turn up are men of
families, who, il they felt so inclined
could take the male portion, go into the
fields and CLEAN, and by that means
secure, at least, their bread for the
winter. Many of the farmers have
room for muscle; seven if it is at low
salary, it provides food for the present
1t seems that men and boys have be-
come convinced there is no place but
the city that one can live. It's a mis-
take, but many of them woulp prefer
even one-half meal per day and remain
here than to do honest toll for three full
meals and an honest bed. The above is
not for boys only but men, regardless of
a ye. GLEANEE.

GENERAL GRANT.
lie Puts in an Hours Work on His Book and
Retires in Excellent Condition.

New YORK, March 11.-Dr Douglass says to-
night, that while General Grant had slept but
little on Tuesday night, he had rested comfort
ably and arose, just before noontime feeling
better than he has for several days. He partook
generously OF nourishment in liquid FORM and
his pulse was lower than yesterday. His tenn
perature was a little above normal This after
noon he wrote for over an hour on his reminis-
cences General Grant was never n hearty
eater, and since his illness has eaten more than
when in perfect health. He retired early to-
night, in excellent condition, comparatively
speaking.
S. B. Eikins, whose father was relieved of
cancer of the lips, two years ago, writes that he
has tried for five weeks to get DIR. Fordyce
Barker and DR.. Douglass to consent to allow a
cancer specialist to see General Grant, and they
have not agreed to it. Mr. Elkins wrote yester
day: Come here anyway. Colonel Fred Grant
says you may see the General, although they
may not let you operate" Mr.. Elkins also
writes: II know his case is not as bad as
fathers, and think you can cure it.

BUFFALO'S DIRTIEST MAN.
Death of Mcbride, the Mser. Notorious
Character of Buffalo.

BUFFALO, n. Y. March lin the death Of
Alexander Mcbride a wealthy, but none the less
notorious character of Buffalo, has passed away.
He was eighty-seven years Of age, and was
known as Mcbride the Miser" He minded his
own affairs strictly and beyond being about the
dirtiest human being in the world, would not
attract much attention anywhere. He had ten
ants in his house. but since his wife died, some
years ago, he had lived miserably in little
room by himself, eating almost anything he
could get and making his habitation as filthy as
himself. In 1850 he began life here by dealing
in tainted meat, and, after acquiring some
means, forsook this business for that Of real
estate. Every cent he could rake together went
into houses, or land on which to build
houses. These were of the most paying sort
-tenements, with from six to ten families
packed in each. His income was very
large percentage of his capital 1t is esti-
mated that he was possessed of property
valued at from SIS 900 to $780, 00O Many curl
Gus stories are told of him, some of doubtful
foundation, but all going to show his general
character 1t is related that at q meeting Of
bondhoders and others interested in the Lake
Shore railway once held at the old courthouse,
at Erie street and the Terrace, among those who
presented themselves was Mcbride, always the
filthest object one would run on in a months
porter of the house was about to put him out
for tramp, when he was warned by one of the
bystanders that it wouldn't do, for Mcbride
owned $40, 900 in Lake Shore. He had habit
of carrying large market basket on his arm
when about the streets. This he used as a gen
eral utility concern, putting into it anything he
came across of value. Fororn as he appeared,
he was never without money. A hardware clerk
tells of selling him half pound of nails once
and was astonsned on being offered $40 gold
piece in payment, when the mans
whole outfit wouldn't have been
brought five cents in the best rag market. A
few years ago he had an old iron safe in his
room, which he kept some of his papers, but
on two occasions he was disturbed by midnight
marauders who evidently suspected that there
might be more or less cash in the mser's strong
box, and, accordingly he got rid of the safe, pre-
ferring to trust to the resources of the banks
for the safe keeping of his valuables. His prop
erty, like his person. was kept in most unsatis-
factory condition, and the Board Of Health was
frequently called upon to abate some unendura-
BILE nuisance in his possessions. Still, his tenants
say that he was by no means q cruel landlord,
and several cases of commendable lenency with
dilatory lessecs are related in support Of this
assertion. About three weeks ago he was taken
sick with heavy cold that settled his lungs.
With some difficulty, he was persuaded TO go to
the hospital He so entirely alone that it
was not safe to let him remain where he was,
yet he would not go until he exacted promise
that his room would not be touched until he
came back

TIE TOWNLEY ESTATE.
Mrs. Deacon Brown Sets Up Claim to Forty
Millions of Money.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 1.-THE village of
Gowanda, thirty miles south of here, is excited
over the fact that the wife of Deacon Sidney S.
Brown has become wealthy, having been ac-
knowledged by the Court of Queens Bench as an
heir to the Lawrence Townley estate in England,
valued at $780, 600 000 about $40 00O 900 of which
is believed &c be her due. Before the opening Of
the present century Lord Townley owned a fine
estate in England, and was tho parent of a will
full but comely lass named Mary, who, despite
her fathers protests, became engaged to one
John Lawrence a man of good family but Of no
considera bic wealth. Failing to conciliate the
lady's father, the young people came to America,
and were married by Catholic priest at Spring
field, Mass Lord Townlev died, and the family
in England became extinct For over half a
century the estate was in the hands of the En-
gish authorities with no claimants, and might
have remained so up to the present time but for
the late war.
James Jacques was Methodist minister To-
Gated in Illinois When the war broke out he
enlisted with an Illinois regiment as private
Promotion in the field soon followed for bravery,
he being the individual who unaided, arranged
the meeting between President Lincoln
and Jefferson Davis, by means of which
he hoped for settlement of difficulties
At the close of the war, Colonel
jacques went to Springfield, and while there ran
across the record of the marriage of John Law
renee and Mary Townley. Being aware of the
estate in England awaiting claimants, Colonel
Jacques set about hunting the heirs This in
vestigation brought him to Gowanda, where he
he informed Deacon Brown that his wife, who
was daughter of the late Judge Wilders of
Springfield was a direct descendant of Mary
Lawrence, and therefore one of the heirs to the
vast estate. Deacon Brown has received let
ter from Colonel Jacques, who is now in Europe,
stating that he had given two members of the
House of Lords an interest in the estate, for
which they were to secure an act of Parliament
directing the transfer of the proceeds of the
estate to the Treasury of the United States.
Colonel Jacques is to receive one-third Of the
estate for his labors
S. Cowles, D. D., of Randolph, purchased
bonds in the estate, and is said to be very anx-
ious to live until the final settlement, when he
expects $4,000. He is now over eighty years
DID, and wants to round off useful career by
endowing Hamilton College, from which he
graduated, with $40 co., and also placing $40, 900
to the credit of a negro college in Tennessee.
He was one of the original anti slavery agitators,
and takes a deep interest in the colored race.

The Song of the Shirt In England.

Phlladeiphla PreSS.
One Of our esteemed New York contemporaries
has recently been printing the prices paid in
New York to women who are compelled to earn
their living by sewing. The compensation re-
ceived for this sort of work is undoubtedly
wretchedly small; but small as it is, the price
paid in free trade England is so much less that
American sewing women seem we'll paid when
their wages are compared with those of England
1t appears that this sort of work in England
reaches the women who actually do it through
three and four intermediates known as Sweat
ers, and who occupya similar position to the
"fosgers' of the nail districts These brutal in
termed;aries often keep frail women waiting
days in very cold places expecting their parcels,
and this is called drilling and is the method Of
punishment if the work is wrongly done, to take
home and do it over again being considered
wholly inadequate A case was recently brought
to light in London, in which n woman had made
two dozen aprons at sixteen cents per dozen
They were wanted quickly, and she sat up all
night to do them. The work had reached her by
no fewer than four firms and one of the firms
had omitted to give the special order that frills
should be twice full as usual around the
aprons. The woman had to take them home,
unpick the work and do it all over again. and
then received thirty-two cents for the two dozen.
This sort of thing is common in England. and
the truth about the sweaters" would far exceed
in horror the truth about the workers in the nail
and chain districts of Worcestershire.

SPIRITUALlSTS EXCITED.
How Dead Woman Is Claimed to Have Talked
with Friend in Life.

PORTLAND, Me-, March 11.-There is great ex-
element among Sprituaists and others in re-
gard to facts, or alleged facts, connected with
the recent death of Mrs. Fossett. She died after
brief sickness, and her remains were made
ready for the grave. In the night a lady-one
who has known the deceased well-entsred her
room and sat down near the body, and was look
ing intently upon the features that had been so
dear to her in life. She could not restrain her
tears, and said aloud, Where are you nowf
At the sound of her voice the dead woman re-
vived, turned over on her side, and at last sat
up. The eyes opened, and in thrilling voice
the woman who had been Dead but who lived
again, spoke. Mrs Fossett said she had been in
heaven; that she had there enjoyed happiness
it was beyond her power to tell; that she had
met and talked with her mother, long dead, and
with other friends. For some time Mrs. Fossett
talked, giving her awe-stricken listener descrip
ton of her experience in the spirit land Gradu-
ely her voice grew fainter. and she fell back on
the bed clad, she was, in her grave clothes.
AS the last words were spoken the spirit took
its final departure, and returned no more.
Some people believe that the lady saw a vision
in a dream. but she is convinced it was a real
ity and that her friend returned and talked
with her. Others think IL is a case of suspended
animation

SEDALIA, Mo, March IL There is no change
in the situation here and no sreights have been

TO get freights out, but the help they thought
they could command would not take the chances
and refused to make much of an effort. People
are getting weary of the state of affairs, and
business Of all kinds is almost at a standstill
The strikers arc very quiet and orderly, and are
peaceably disposed. No militia have been here,
and, as far as now known, none will come

this morning to swear in the Pinkerton detect

the law required one years residence before a
sent for the executive committee of the strikers
and asked if they had not violated the contract
made last night. to allow freight trains to be
run. They replied that they had not, as that
promise was made with the understanding that
freights were to be run if men could be found to
run them Three attempts were made last night
to take out trains, and several this morning, all
of which failed on account of the men employed
leaving the trains.
The railroad company, through Superintend-
ent Hager, has notified the city authorities that
if any damage is done the cOmpanys property
the city will be neld responsible. The committee
of citizens who visited the Governor to-day re-

the law must be enforced, but if no violence is
used by the strikers he does not inteud TO int9r-
fere with militia. This evening the militia is
still at Centertown, awaiting orders.
