A QUEER CHARACTER.
A Californian who Made a Fortune
and is Now in the Almshouse.

Here is a story of a Californian
told by the New Haven PalLG-
diam; Very few men in New
Haven have had so checkered a
career or life so full of adventure
and change as has Edward B.
Davidson. This is the man who
applied to town agent Todd last
week for pecuniary assistance, and
whose clothes on being searched
at the almshouse were found to
contain nearly $50. He was born
in Milford sixty or sixty-fve
years ago. In earley life he mi
grated slowly westward until, in
1854, he started from Blooming
ton, ILL.,, for California with an OK
train. On the journey cholera at
tackled the party and many died.
among these was a near relative
of the late Judge David Davis.
Dawson was the only man in the
party who would bury Davis, and
he rolled him in a buffalo robe and
inferred him on the banks of the
Platte river. On arriving in Sac
ramento he engaged in business in
Forth street, keeping store, which
he called a postoffice exchange.
The flood of 1862 destroyed his
stock. A man gave him money
with which to start again, but soon
foreclosed. Then he became a re-
porter on the Sacramento Bee,
and he remained on this paper for
some time. A little later he be.
came insane, and passed two years
in the instne asylum at Stockton.
After apparently having almost
fully recovered his mind, he join
ed party and went to Oregon.
Here he was given position on
the Portland Oregonian and be-
came sheriff of the county. He
remained there for a year or two,
and then went to the gold mines
at Canon City. Here his party
was attacked by Indians. He and
two other men escaped, and he
and one of his companions carried
the other, who was wounded, four
teen miles on poles. After he had
been west four years he returned
to Milford for his wife, but found
she had married another man. Re-
turning, he bought $4,000 worth
of stationer's goods in New York
on credit, had them fully insured
and shipped them via Cape Horn.
The ship was lost. Davidson
waited till he received his insur-
ance and then paid for the goods.
Soon after he hit upon plan by
which he made some money. This
was by obtaining old papers at
postoffices from various parts of
the country and selling them to
miners. He returned to New Hav-
en- about twenty years ago and has
since been a book-peddler and
news-seller, having had a stand on
the coner of State and Prout
streets. He had lodgings on Long
wharf. At one time he was worth
$150,00O. He now wears rags,
but is suspected of having several
thousands hidden away. He had
three sisters who were insane, and
undoubtedly he is still mentally
unsound. He has daughter in
this city, Mrs. Young.

At Martins Bottom, Pocahontaa

near Mr.. Hughes house and lunched
heartily on a Gulf, then retired to the
spruce and laurel OF Buckley mountain
to sleep 1t oil. He could not be found,
however, by q party headed by Andy
mclaughlin so he must have covered
his retreat very skillfully. Two or three
nights afterwards, three or four wildcats
patrolled the premises near Mr.. Nc.
Glaughlin's, who went in pursuit OF
them with Messrs. Hughes and Tuke.
TheiTdogs came upon o, coon trail which
was more to their liking and they fol-
lowed 1t to tree. BY the time this
interesting animal was done for, the
hounds seemed to have lost all relish for
wildcat operations or speculatlons and
the chase closed abruptly.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURES
by Henry II. IsagRn, Under the Auspices o
m CommandRbIo LOraI Charity.

by Henry II, RagRn, Under the Auspices of
n Commensurate Local Charity.
The Women's Union Benevolent So
ciety Of this city, with q view to replen-
ishing treasury that is becoming quite
depleted by reason Of the many demands
that are being made on it, has arranged
for q brilliant series of illustrated lee
lures to DO given at the Opera House
February IA, q, 27and %, and March 7
by Mr.. Henry II. Ragan. The first Of
these lectures, TO be given next Thurs
day evening, will be u complimentary
one, admission to which will be by In
yitation, only. These invitations will
be sent out to-day aud those who receive
them may consider themselves fortunate.
The subject OF this first lecture
will DO "Paris, tho magnificent" The
subjects Of the other four lectures will
DO 1.-THE Rhine and Switzerland, ""Here
and There in London" 1.-THE Heart oil
America" and "Ramblings in Rome" In
the order named. Each lecture will be
superbly illustrated by about eighty
scenes, by viewing which and listening
to the lecturers entertaining description,
one can actually enjoy tho delights OF
travel without It's discomforts. These
lectures are said on excellent authority
to be so far removed from the ordinary
stereoptiCan entertainments that no
lover OF travel or beautiful scenes should
miss them through misapprehension.
The New York Herald, In It's account Of
one Of Mr.. Ragan's lectures, had the fol-
lowing:
INF. Henry H. Raglan, the accom-.
plished lecturer, had every reason TO be
satisfied with the reception he had at
Steinway Hall last evening. The large
house was filled and the audience was
select. They had every reason to be
well pleased with Mr.. Raglan, for the
lecture was well put together, scholarly
aud occasionally really eloquent, and the
illustrations we're unusually good. The
varied and peculiar grandenrs OF the sub
ieCt were skillfully and truthfully repre-.
scented, and they were described in such
a manner as TO produce much OF the re-
atty Of travel. Mr.. Raglan is the artist.
He gives his experience, and he carries
his audience with him." Course tickets,
with coupons for the same reserved
seat for the four lectures, will be pur.
Chaseable for $l.5O. This is a very low
price for the treats that are in store for
those who attend. The cause for which
the lectures are to be given is a most
worthy one, in which all Charitably dis
posed citizens should be interested. The
ladies' who have arranged for the lee.
lures Jamestown considerable enterprise
and should be warmly encouraged.

The following explains itself, and will
be read with pleasure by Wheeling peo-
pie;
TO ne Editor Of The htclli0a'cer,
SIR;-0n Saturday evening, February
Q, the people Of Richmond had rare
musical treat. Miss JessiCa Campbell,
formerly OF Wheeling, having had q
prominent part In the entertainment, l
send you a short account OF It, feeling
sure that many readers OF the INTELLI.
GRNCER will feel interested in hearing OF
her success as a singer.
About 475 invitations were issued by
Mile Pauline Bredelli, and by s o'clock
the University chapel was well filled
with Richmond's most cultured and ap-
preciative people. The exercises began
on time and the first chorus, "Up, Up,
Ye DamGs,h was received with raptur-
GUS applause. Miss Sharp next sang in
a clear and well,trained voice two
charming ballads, Miss Campbell then
came forward in her easy and graceful
manner and sang with much animation
a walse brilliant "Lardita," which was
so yoclierously encored that she re.
turned aud sang for the delighted audi
ence, the old song which never falls to
touch the heart, "Annie Laurie" You
could hear pin drop, 30 rapt was the
attention as her voice, so full OF richness
and melody, Aoated out over the hall.
1t is seldom one finds so much power
and sweetness combined, and with that
upon which to build Mile Bredilll has
certainly developed Miss Campbell's
voice until 1t has won for her quite
reputation, and she has been called the
"Kentucky Nilsson,p The chorus, "The
Treasures OF the Deep" was truly grand,
and | cannot refrain from saying Just
here that NJ lie Bredelli seems particular
ly gifted in training choruses, and every
one given was beautiful. "Sleep Baby
Sleep" and "The Village BlaCksmith's
Bride" were equally well rendered by
Miss Campbell. Her rendition OF 20
Mic Fernando" was considered by
some musical critics to be the best Of
the evening. The Singing Lesson"
given by Miss Campbell, Miss Sharp and
Mr.. Sweets, seemed to be the most tax.
loudly applauded. The ladies were be-
comingly dressed, aud Miss Campbell
never looked so well us she did in her
costume OF white silk with lace drape.
ries and a bodice trimmed in crimson
plush. An exquisite necklace showed
10 great advantage on her shapely neck.
Mile Bredelli has the grateful thanks Of
the people Of Richmond for the pleas.
ure she has afforded them in getting up
an entertainment which was decidedly
the bcstever given in this city. ZETA.
