A committee of brokers are about to
visit England to determine if possible
why that country does not want to pur-
chase American wheat. There is no
need of crossing the water to learn the
cause. We refuse to purchase English
products. Why should England return
good for evil and purchase our wheat.

"What did your father and yourself
expect would be the outcome of that
raid OF movement at Harper's Ferry?"
I asked.
"Well, not what is generally sup
posed" he replied. 1--WE did not ex-
pect to liberate any great number of
slaves Immediately, nor even rapidly;
but, by means of the series of rem
devious, and by various other methods
of assistance, we expected to open the
way for slaves in increasing numbers
to escape from their masters, and be
helped North We expected that
many who had been brought to us
would secretly return and bring in
others with the necessary food, and
thus we hoped not only to iberate
large numbers of slaves but to render
slavery uncertain and unprofitable;
and we hoped also to arouse-yes, to
force to conclusions-the sentiment of
the country, North and South.
Father had not much hope from
politics or parties; he believed that
political action could only follow pub
lie sentiment, and that public senti-
ment on the slavery question could be

pursued by a red-eyed unicorn with a
navv-blue stomach and Chinese Ian
tern tied to his tail. I tried to shake
him off, but ] could not. He led me
down into the internal regions, and in

and the high school, and spoke of the
great progress Of the place, and said
that they were likely to get new and
competing road in there this summer:
and he showed me the library and
walked me out to the fair grounds and
down on the lake shore, so that I could
take sulphur bath, and spoke of the
desirability Of the climate for people
with bronchial affections, and wanted
me to speak of it in my letters to the
press, and said he would pay me well
for it.
Just then I heard knock on my
door [ was so glad to have anybody
knock, instead of picking the lock,
that I asked, who's there?" A rich,
manly voice replied, "Me.

ginous towels. She was heavy set

I do not complain. I do not murmur.
I do not repine. But 1 say that a

A chambermaid who has a bass voice
ought to seek out some other calling.
She may put guests suppers so far
under the bed that he cannot get them
without calling out the hook and lad
der company. She may weep over his
letters from his wife or drown her sor-
rows in his bay rum, but she ought not
to take bass voice into hotel and
expect to escape criticism.

war broke out, when he enlisted and

For many years, and until about
four years ago, he lived on Putin Bay
Island, and spcn his winters i'll caring
for the summer resort of Jay Cooke
on the little island called "Gibralter,"
in Putin Bay. Here, during those
months which he spent all alone, he
learned from books to write short
hand; and, both for practice and for
study of "the word" he copied in
shorthand the entire Bible twice
through. Mrs. Thompson informed
me that he had great quantity of
other shorthand MSS, but she did
not know what it was all about-"pos-
sibly "reminiscences"
He was not a church member, but he
was a most earnest and practical
Christian. He remembered "those in
bonds as bound with them"-whether
negro. Indian. Chinaman, or the un-
fortunate drunkard, and he would
cheerfully sacrifice self for any of them
at any time. His love for freedom ex-
tended along the whole line, and
touched all subjects. He was neither
crank nor lobbyist; but he was so
thoroughly honest, sincere, consistent,
conscientious and unseltish that it was
difficult for most men to understand
him-and hence they called him "pccu-
liar"

College. in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
I boarded for some time with his sis
ter, Mrs. Henry Thompson, who was
then living at Las Cacitas, a charming
little plateau on the mountain side,
about six miles from Pasadena, and
only few rods from the house occupied
by Owen Brown and his brother, Jason.
Being SO near these interesting and no.
torious men, [ made it convenient to
be much in their company. Twas anx-
lous TO study their character and hab-
its, and also to learn from themselves
certain inside facts about their partici-
patton III the Kansas troubles, and more
especially some OF the details of Owens
experiences in escaping from Harpers
Ferry.
The first time / met Owen he had
gust returned from stalking claim" on
the very summit of the Sierra Madre
range. at a point directly back of Las
Cacltas, and 5000 feet above the sea.
] learned that lie and Jason intended
10 make the ascent again soon, for the
purpose of planting various seeds and
cuttings to test the producing power of
that altitude. A young clergyman
named Fisher, from St. Paul Mimi,
was also boarding at the Thompsons',
and we two were accorded the priv.
tege OF accompanying the Browns Oh
their second trip.
Standing by the door of their modest
home, J. asked, "How far is it from here
to the spot you have selected? 2" About
two miles as the crow flies" he replied,
+ho,
must travel; and, to reach it, will re-
qulre effort enough to take you at least
twenty miles on an ordinary trail. I
suspect that you and Fisher will hardly
be able to make it in one day; but
when you get tired we can camp for
the night on the mountain side, and
next morning we can finish the as
cent"
A few mornings later, about 7 80
o'clock, our little caravan set out for
the mountain top. Each of us carried
on his back a bundle variously made
up OF blankets, provisions, drinking
water, hatchets, seeds, etc
Contrary to our expectation when We
started, Fisher and myself were able
to pull through" in one day, and the
setllhg sun saw us on the top of the
mountain now known as "Brown's
Peak" Charming spot! Delightful
view! Sixty miles of seacoast and surf
separating the ocean from magnifi-
cent panorama of hill, valley, cities,
hamlets, orange groves, orchards, vine
yards, and wild flowers to the south
west Of US, afd confused medley of
mountain peaks. avines, forests, and
shinamering cascades to the northeast
of US. Such scenery filled Owen
Browns soul. He loved it tenderly
and deeply. On such spot he wanted
to live and die and be buried.
Supper over, we lowered about the
campfire till late .hour, talking of
many things-but mostly Of slavery,
John Brown, Harper's Ferry, the war,
and the emancipation. Owen Brown
felt at home and happy on that noun
