A Fortunate Greenhorn.

"When I came to this country" said a
merchant recently, 81 was a lad fresh
from old Ireland. My first home was
with friends in Cambridge. In one of
my walks, before I had been here a
week, came across queer, old FASH
toned house that interested me immense.
ly. I described it to my friends, and
learned that it was the home of the poet
Longfellow. That increased my inter-
est.
'The next day I went again to the
queer house and stood gawkily looking
at it and at an old gentleman sitting in
the yard. I stared SO long that the old
gentleman noticed it, and coming to the
fence asked me what I was looking at.
told him that wanted to see the man
who lived there, because had read his
works in the schools Of Ireland.
''The old gentleman asked me what I
knew about Longfellow's writings, and
told him I knew enough about one
poem to repeat every word of it.
"When he heard that he asked me to
come into the house and recite the poem
to him. went in and repeated THE Viii
lage Blacksmith without making mis-.
take. That pleased my listener, and put
ting on his hat he asked me to walk with
him. He said that should have some
thing that many people had asked for
and tried in vain to get.
''He stopped under big tree and said:
This is the tree under which that poem
you recited was written. The village
smithy was under this tree
''Then the aged poet marched up and
with his own hand broke off a branch of
that famous tree and gave it to me."-

A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.
The Home Of Samuel Slater, the Father
of American Manufacturer.

The Home OF Samuel Slater, the Father
of American Manufactures.
Especial Correspondence
PAwTUcKET, r. L., June Gothic
city, which for long time claimed the
honor of being the largest town in the
United States, will always occupy a
prominent place in Rhode Island history
as the home of Samuel Slater, the father
Of American manufactures and Of the
first cotton mill in America. Until re-
Gently the house occupied by Samuel
Slater has been used as private dwell
ing. 1t stands upon one of the princi-
pal business streets, large, square,
brick building, with door in the cen.
ter of the front and large parlor on
either side. The quaint, old fashioned
wall paper on these two rooms has al
ways been an object of interest to visit
ors and has quite a history. It represents
a romantic landscape with trees half
the height of the room, and tradition
has it that this identical paper was de-
signed and made for European mon
arch, whose fastidious taste was not
pleased at the completion of the work
and it was refused. The manufacturer
was of course ruined by this unhappy
transaction, and Samuel Slater hearing
ofit-whether prompted by philanthropy
or self glorifcation is not stated-imme-
diately purchased it.
Another object of interest about the
old Slater mansion some forty or fifty
years ago was the family coach, around
which hung an air of genteel antiquity
and memories of some famous general,
who was said to have ridden in it some
time away back in colonial days. It
was the great delight of the boys of
those days to make surreptitious visits
to the barn in the rear of the house,
climb up on the high seat of the old
vehicle and lounge in the capacious in
terror.
None of the incidents connected with
Samuel Slater are more interesting than
one given in the records of the Provi-
dence plantations. This little account
credits woman with being the origi.
nator of that most useful article, cotton
thread: Shortly before 1900 a young
lady in Pawtucket made suggestion
which gave rise to another industry.
Miss Marcy Wilkinson, whose sister
afterward married Samuel Slater, who
established the first cotton mill in the
United States, asked the latter if he
could not make thread from cotton,
since linen was so uneven that it was
hard to use. In reply he gave her some
cotton, which she herself spun into
thread, probably the first ever made in
America. She wound it upon large
spool and many years later presented il
to the Rhode Island Society for the En-.
couragement of Domestic Industry, al
whose rooms it now is"
The Wilkinsons were an old Paw.
tucket family, and in ST. Paurs Episco.
pal church, the Oldest in the city and an
ugly but unique old frame building, are
marble tablets in memory of both the
Wilkinson and Slater families.
