has made remarkable change. 1t will be
seen that ha then wore his beard in style
which is seldom seen at the present day,
though quite fashionable a quarter of q
century ago and extremely becoming TO
certain men. The years since that time
have been periods Of hard work to Mr..
Sherman. He is indeed constant worker.
Callers at his beautiful residence. even
since the adjournment of Congress, were
told day after day that the Senator was
at work In his library and could not be
disturbed. His library is one of the finest
collections of works Of a political nature in
the city. He Is just rounding out his for
tieth year In national affairs. for he came
to the Thirty-fourth Congress as a Rep
resentative from Ohio. since which time 1t
may be said that
There never was a minute,
That Sherman wasn't in it,
having been continuously Representative,
Senator, cabinet officer and Senator again.
Another man who has very much changed
in personal appearance Is Senator Stewart.

The Interesting Sights Seen in the
Homes of st. U1rich.
Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her Untrod-
Gen Peaks. mentions many an interesting
visit to the homes of the working people
of st. Ulrich, where so many toys are
made.
I'm one house." runs the account, I'VE
found an old. old woman at work, Mag
dalena Paldauf by name. She carved cats,
dogs, wolves, sheep. goats and elephants.
She has made these six animals her whole
life long. and she has no idea of how to
cut anything else. She makes them in two
sizes; and she turns out as nearly as pos
sible thousand of them a year. She has
no model or drawing Of any kind to work
by; but goes on steadily unerringly, using
souges of different sizes. and shaping out
her cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and
elephants with an ease and an amount of
truth to nature that would be clever If it
were not utterly mechanical. Magdalena
Paldauf learned from her mother how to
carve these six animals and her mother
had learned, in like manner from her
grandmother. Magdalena has now taught
the art to her own granddaughter, and so
1t will go on being transmitted for genera
tioDs."
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and cross
bones for fixing at the bases Of crucifxes,
for the wood carving of tirodner Thai Is
religious I'm its nature as well as amusing
In other houses there were families that
carved rocking horses Or dolls or other
toys. and in still other houses there were
families of painters.
I'm one house we found about a dozen
girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted only
red horses with white points. 1t Is sep

burdensome to the man who did nothing
as competent eye-witnesses and partici-
pants have since admitted-but tell the pre-
else truth in such a fashion as a first-class
writer would. In his own defense in his
published diary, Mr.. Russell, said: whilst
on this subject, let me remark that some
time afterward / was in Mr.. Brady's pho
tographic studio Oh Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, when the very intelligent and
oblising manager introduced himself to
me and said that he wished to have an op-
portunity Of repeating to me personally
what he had frequently .old persons in the
place, that ne could bear The fullest testi-
mony to the complete accuracy IF my ac-
count Of the panic from Centerville down
the road at the time left, and thar he and
his assistants, VINO were OF the spot try
ing to get away their Photographic van
ard apparatus, could certify thar my de-
scripton fell far short of the disgraceful
spectacle and of the excasses of the flight"
The denunciatory storm which beat upon
Mr.. Russell was probably of greater force
than any ever suffered by a newspaper
writer. 1t cut short instantly his useful
ness as war correspondent, for the ad-
ministratfon-which in that case was Sec
retary Stanton-refused anything that
could possibly be mistaken for aid or COM
fort, and compelled Russell to retreat.
For this, Russell described Mr.. Stanton as
Excessively vain, and aspres to be con-
sidered a rude. rough, vigorous Oliver
Cromwell sort Of a man. mistaking some
of the disagreeable attributes and the ac-
cidents of the external husk Of the great
protector for the brain and head of a
statesman and a soldier" To join the
southern army as a correspondent would
have been quite as impossible as It was to
accompany Mcclellan to the front I'm the
SOUTH" said Mr.. Russell, ''the press threat
ened me with tar and feathers, because I
did not see the beauties of their domestic
institutions and wrote of 1t in my letters
to England exactly as I spoke of 1t to
every one who conversed with me on the
subject when I was among them; and now
the northern papers recommended expul-
sion. ducking, riding rails and other cognate
modes Of tnsuring a moral conviction of
error; endeayored to fntimidate me by
threats Of duels or personal castigations;
gratified their malignity by ludicrous stories
Of imaginary affronts or annoyances 20
which 1 never was exposed, and sought to
prevent the authorities extending any pro-
lection toward me, and to intimidate Off
GERS from showing me any civility"
The varieties of antagonistic feeling
sketched by Mr.. Russell departed COM
pletely many years ago. Today. it is be-
ieved, he would receive the kindliest of
welcomes: welcomes that in some COM
munities would be no Less e6usive because
he is now Sir William Howard Russell

Ed. The INDEPENDENT
Segregation
The following letter from the
Leper Settlement has been received:
We have been informed that at
Kalihi, the gates Of the Receiving
Station, are open to visitors, that
constant intercourse lie tolerated be-
tween lepers and outsiders, that
clothes OF lepers are taken away for
washing. And that the boys from
Kalawao under treatment can roam
freely, not only in the X apiolan
Home, where none but leprous girls
are kept, but else where, too.
Will you, Mr.. Editor, take pains to
learn the truth in this matter and
inform us in your INDEPENDENT paper
OF the results OF your Investigation?
We lepers in Molokai do not con-
slider ourselves more dangerous to
the community than those lepers at
the Receiving Station. III they can
be visited why not WEI If the law of
Segregation is not applied to the
lepers at Kalihi why should it be
enforced at Molokai.
Most Respectfully,
A LEPER.
Leper Settlement, Molokai, August
18th, 1895.
1t will be seen that our corre-
spondent claims that segregation is
not carried out at Kalawao and Ka-
lihi as it ought to be. AS far as the
first named place is concerned our
correspondent surely ought to be
better posted than we are. In re-
gard to Kalihi the following extract
of letter published last week in the
Makaainana seems to indicate that
the complaint of our correspondent
is we'll founded
Isaac Kihe writes to the following
effect:
"At the Kalihi station families are
freely admitted to see their patients
without any objection. | greatly adj
mire the Superintendent's kindness
and pleasant disposition generally.
What strictness existed heretofore
is done away with at present.
Wherefore l now testify that all
persons are allowed to freely visit
their sick"
Segregation ought,of course, to be
enforced, and il the rules have been
relaxed anywhere we do not doubt
that the Board of Health will lose
no time in enforcing them. The
Board at present, however, has its
hands full OF more vital matter and
can hardly be expected to look into
the grounds for our correspondents

Since the recent heavy shipments Of
gold set in the government has received
a number of offers of gold in exchange
for notes. This is particularly true Of
banks in the Northwest, where small
notes are in active demand for moving
the grain crop. Other banks, appa.
rently disinterested, have Offered gold
in exchange for silver certificates. Sew.

Of being little underweight as it was

but in all cases where the government
could consistently do so, the offers
have been accepted.

near England, Lonoke county, Tues
day morning, while attempting to ar
rest an escaped prisoner named Lacey.
Lacey had been indicted for grand lar
eeny and made his escape from the
Arkansas county Jail. He was located
IN an old house three miles from Eng
land, and when called upon to surren-

opened fire. The first shot struck and
instantly killed Harris and the second
mortally wounded Stiff, Harris father
in-law.
