had made on the coast of North Wales. In
two interviews with Sir Watkin Williams

glish even when in the middle of a heated

lists and PreSbyterians from Canada. Two
members of the Salvation Army attacked
him with their tracts. He replied by offer

Gen John C.. Fremont was known in his
youth as "the pathfinder" and in his old age
the exploring fever again seizes him. 1t
seems that a 5000, 600 acre tract of land IN
northeasteI Mexico has been purchased by
a syndicate of capitalists. The general Is a
member of the syndicate, and will go TO
Mexico at the head of an exploring party to
survey the tract and fix its boundaries
Negotiations are now going on with English
capitalists for the sale of the lands, and 1t Is
proposed to bring over from Europe a
colony of 4, 900 persons to settle on the tract
There will be room enough for numerous
colonies. as the tract l. larger in extent than
the combined states of Massachusetts, Cor
necticut and Rhode Island.
The capitalists and European colOnists who
propose to make this adventurous dash into
Mexico are making a big mistake All
things considered it would not cost them any
more to colonize certain fertile and Salubri-
ous tracts in the southern states where they
would be among friends and enjoy the
protection of just laws. In Mexico they will
find both man and nature unfriendly, and
after they have toiled for years improving
their new homes they may be compelled to
abandon them to their mongrel and semi
civilized neghboTs.

How Honest Peter MacPherson Cans 60
BE Called Peter Gum.
l don't know il this story was ever in
print. Colonel Febiger tells it as re-
lated by Rufus Choate. Choate was
once engaged to hunt up the lost heir
to Scotch estate. He was the last
direct heir of the acPhersons and was
supposed to be in America. After an
awful lot of trouble Choate unearthed
him in New Orleans, where he was
known as Peter Gum, and this is how
he came to have that name: In Ar
cadia, where he first settled, for con-
venience, he was called Pherson, and
custom made that the name he lived
under. He moved into Pennsylvania,
where the Dutch people, not seeing
any sense in Pherson, paraphrased it
into Firestone, which they afterward
translated into Feurstein. Then he
went to Philadelphia, where, the name
being unpronounceable, the people
translated it back into English and he
was called Peter Flint. After few
years there he moved into Louisiana.
and there the creoles, taking still
further liberties with his name, adapted
it into Pierre Fusil. Under that name
he lived long time, and finally he set
lied in New Orleans, where he became
dissatisfied with the French title, and
he translated it boldly himself into
plain Peter Gum, ard so he was dis
covered. Franl1see Ckrontete. 4
