months, but for six years.

AN Ex-sLAvHs STRANGE STORY
Recalled By the Death of a Noted Coiored
Clergyman.

Hecaueo by inc Deatn OF Notoo OotOfeu
Clergyman.
ypxcrAL rsLEeRAh TO THE DIsPAfcH.1
BOSTON, June 6.-The Rev. Thomas H.
Jones, of New Bedford, died to-day aged
81 He was born slave and remained SO.
for many years. John Howes, Of New
Hanover county, North Carolina,
was his first master, and Jones
often called him severe and cruel. After
nine years he was sold, and Jones, in the
narrative OF his life, described his parting
from his mother, as being torn from her in
a brutal manner, and when his mother i'm
plored for few minutes more time with
him to bid him goodby she was struck with
q heavy cowhide. After a few years he
made his way to New York as a stowaway
in a brig.
Hearing that he was to be sent back he
made a raft and put for shore. Some time
after his friends rescued him and Charles
Cousina, of Brooklyn, kept him in hiding
four weeks when he made his way to Bos-
ton. Arriving at Boston he obtained money
BY preaching in many New England towns.
A few years later he came here. He was
ordained minister in North Carolina and
was pastor of Methodist Episcopal Church
here for several years. He was Republic
can, active in campaigns and an ardent
temperance worker.

What Mrs. Grant Hns to Say of Her Hus.
band In This Particular.
In a recent interview Mrs. Grant said: !:
General Grant has been called the silent
man. To great extent I take 1t that this
was true of him in his official position. He
learned out of a long experience, coupled
with the advice of good counselors, that
silence was the best answer, as a general
rule, that public man could make to all
the countless Misrepresentation current in
public life.
"But when the General felt that he with
safety could be off guard, seated with Gen
erals in his tent, few friends in the parlor
or his family at the freside, he often became
animated in conversation. At such times
he was often epigrammatic, and would say
wise, witty things which, if they had been
garnered, would fairly pass for proverbs.
Indeed, he had dry humor about him
which was very agreeable to his more init
mate friends, and was often inclined to be
facetious as the conversation turned on
topics which struck him pleasantly.

WANAMAKER OPPOSED IT.

He Makes n speech Against nm Eight. Hour
Day In the Postof1ace.
WASHINGTON June 6.-The House Com
mittee on Postofice and Post Roads to-day
had under consideration the bill to make
eight consecutive hours a days work for
postal clerks. Postmaster General Wana-
maker, who was present, opposed the bill,
insisting that its provisions were imprac-
ticable.
He was opposed to an iron-clad rule oi
this kind, but asserted that if he were
allowed an annual appropriation of $500, 900
that he could bring the service in first and
second-class Offices around to an eighthour
basis, which would be satisfactory to the
employees.

STOLE A MILLION FRANCS.
The Cool Theft of Clever Young Russian
In Florence.

In Florence.
New York Sun.I
A new way of reducing the price of the
electric light to a minimum is reported from
Paris. A young man from Nikopolis,
named Verdichewski, had been sent to Paris
to study at technical school. He was sup
piled with means by some benevolent per-
sons in Odessa. He recently returned there,
repaid the money advanced to him, and
lived in very free-handed way for some
time, giving as an explanation of his i'm
proved circumstances the fact that she had
discovered an invention tending to reduce
to the lowest minimum the cost of the cleo
trio light" and that Baron Rothschild had
been glad to purchase the patent for couple
of million dollars.
After a while came the news that a great
robbery amounting to over 1000, 900 francs
had been committed in Florence by young
Russian, with the connivance of the hotel
keeper, the victim being the wife OF retired
Ambassador. Verdichewski was at once
suspected, and a search for him was promptly
instituted. That worthy, however, had
shifted the mischief in the wind, and had de-
parted for a more congenial sphere.

WILD ONIONS FLAVOR BUTTER.
Complaints From the Dairy Farmers of
New Jersey About Ii.

Complaints From the Dairy Farmers of
New Jersey About IL.
The farmers in many parts of New Jersey
are complaining of the rank and luxuriant
growth of wild onions, which this year seems
to be greater than ever before. The COWS
when turned out to pasture evince a sur
prising fondness for the weed, and the flavor
is reproduced, very objectiouably. in their
milk and butter, both of which are often
rendered quite useless. Calves whose
mothers have been grazing in fields where
wild onions hold lien on the land sicken
and sometimes die.
The wild onion of New Jersey is entirely
different from the cultivated vegetable Of
Bermuda. Its odor is powerful enough to
draw tears, at ten PAGES, from any eyes,
however unused to the melting mood; and if
young woman is SO silly as to place the
smallest particle of one of them between
her lips on Monday morning, she will
greatly enhance her folly if she consents to
meet her sweetheart before the following
Saturday evening.

There is No Necessity for an Appeal to This
Country for Protection.
WAsHIN GToN, June g. 6.-Secretary Blaine
said this evening that there was not a
particle of truth in the San Diego dispatch
to the effect the Mexican Government had
requested the United States to send soldiers
to San Diego to prevent an expedition
against Lower California. Mr.. Romero, the
Mexican Minister, also said that the dis
patch was not true. He said that the Mexi-
can Government had not asked anything
from the Government of the United States,
with regard to the flibustering expedition
against Lower California, which had been
Matched In San Diego, and added that the
Mexican Government had ample means at
its disposal to deal properly with any fill
busterers who might invade Mexican soil.
He die not think, however, there was much
danger Of such an invasion.

High over the chancel in st. Patrick's

the scarlet hat of the late Cardinal Nc

shall be chosen, who shall be Archbishop of
this diocese, there the hat must stay; but it
is a strange sight to see it.

THE FARMERS TWO PER
CENT BILL.

However desirable may be the
passage Of the bill in Congress to
authorize the Secretary of the Treas
ury to loan money to farmers at two
per cent, or however wholesome
and righteous such measure might
be, we warn our farmer friends from
putting any reliance in it, as a
measure of relief.
The Substituting Of great lines OF
ocean sail and steam vessels both to
Europe and the two Americas: the
enormous appropriations for build
ing new vessels Of the navy, togeth-
er with probably unheard Of and
marvellous appropriations for PEN
sions, will net be likely to leave
anything in the Treasury for the
Secretary to loan either tothe banks
or the farmers.
But il all these things were out Of
the way, we have no idea that Coz
gresss would pass the bill a! this
session; ii is certainly radical de-
parture from ordinary legislation.
and however meritorious, is hardly
to be expected to pass, until a public
sentiment shall have backed it up.
Weregret the deplorable condi-
ton Of the farmers brought about
by several Successive failures Of
crops, the grinding monopolies,
that have tended to plumber them,
and we certainly sympathize with
them. But, with all eandor and
honesty, We must sa-, that the far
mers must rely on themselves for
extrication from present difficulties.
They must, most sssuredly raise
their own supplies, without this
there can be no permanent improve
ment or lasting prosperity. Over
and above their supplies; let the
money crop be carefully cultivated.
Byeconomy, frugallty, and untiring
industry. the losses Of the past may
be retrieved, and, by proper manage
ment, reasonable prosperity for
The future NAV be asanred.
