The New Minister to That Country Told to
Put Faith In Qufnine-
WASHINGTON, March civilian II.
Heard of Pennsylvania, the newly ap-
pointed minister to Liberia, ives at the
state department day or two ago Mr..
Heard is small, dark skinned man, with
a mustache and beard.
There happened to be in the room q
gentleman who has recently returned
from the Congo. Among other things,
Mr.. Heard was told that the climate ia
not the best in the world for persons of
feeble constitutions or with stomachs liza
gentleman to take plenty of quinine and
to put his trust in i , and that he might
possibly pull through.
The salary of $4,000 and perquisites is
not thing lightly to be considered, even
with a prospect of bad African coast
fever in store, and that thought was
enough to reconcile Mr.. Heard to the sit
uation in few moments.
On looking over some of the papers
and dispatches from the consulate and
from some of his predecessors of the
Liberian mission, Mr.. Heard came across
file of the dispatches, which. in view
of the previous Conversation with the re-
turned traveller, were interesting in the
extreme.
The first one which fell beneath Mr.
Heard's eye had in it the following pas
SAGE, upon which his eyes became glued
as if fascinated:
'fne American minister was today
buried in the cemetery here on the
beautiful green lot next to his honored
predecessor"
The newly appointed minister did not
read any further. ~

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The follow
ing statement was made today by the two
sons of the late Frederick Douglass:
The statement telegraphed to the
morning papers of the country that there
is or has been any antagonism between
US and our fathers wife or his widow at
any time is without foundation. That
there has been any consultation with
anyone at any place or time regarding
any will of Frederick Douglass our
father, we have no knowledge. We are
absolutely unable to account for the
statement made.

An Investigation Reveals the Utter
Unreliability of a Popular De-
fusion in Hartford County.

4 dispatch To the Sun last week,
dated Belair Md, says: The Deep
Hole which forms a part of the stream
known rs Deer creek, IN Hartford cOun-
", Md, does not deserve TO be distin-
guished by that title any lougor
Ever since the county was settled il
was firmly believed by the inhabitants
TO be boltomless. The farmers had
often net there, and, tying their plow-
lines together, let down tweuty-eight-
pound weight into the water, but could
find no bottom. Probably there was
an uudercurrent which was strong
enough 10 carry the weight along with
it,
AT that time the hole contained
" hihpuol about four feet III diameter,
with depression Of two or three feet.
Fence rails, branches of trees, etc,
when thrown into the whirlpool disap-
peared, nor was ii ever observed that
they came up at any other point,
though there Is Il place short distance
down the creek where the water
appears to bubble up from underneath.
Many OF the neighbnrhood who could
SWIM had often Owed from the sur
rounding rocks aud swan up under
the Whirlpool, but all to no purpose
Mr. Thomas b. Marshall, OF Balti-
more, who was born within mile
aud "a half OF the place, though he had
never seen it, having left there while
young, determined to find the bottom,
and, accompanied By his son, Thomas
b., Jr., Mr.. 4. j. Wiley aud +. Hender-
son, both OF Hartford county, left in Mr..
Wiley's wagon tor the Deep Hole, TAX
ing quantity Of rope and other neces-
sary articles, Including an non weight

AFTER ride Of some four miles we
arrived at the tract of land on which
the Deep Hole was situated and
which for at least fifteen years no way
on had ever passed through, and the
road oVergrown with trees, briars and
weeds Three of our party were obli-
ged to 90 forward and clear the way
with axes, leaving Mr. Henderson to
drive through afterwards. We sue

cut down and trimmed for derrick,
/ which, after great eXertion, for the
rocks were 50 slippery we could scarce

raising TO a proper position. The
weight was then attached to the rope
and lowered into the water, when, to
our great surprise and chagrin, it stop

feet. Surprising we had made mis-
take in the spot, We endeavored to
move the derrick, during which one of
the guy ropes gave way aud the der

RigGting it again with some difficulty
we lowered the weight in different
part of the stream, but with no better
result. 1t is more than likely that the
rails aud other debris, together with
sand, have about flied ii up, and the
Whirlpool has almost entirely djsap-

Steam Engines-No Warning.

1t would be well for the men who
have steam engines travelling through
the country to bear in mind that they
will be held liable for any accidents
that may occur in having horses run
away. All such engines that are taken
over the roads should have man in
front of them warning passing men or
women in conveyances that the
engine is near. We have been inform.
ed that this duty is entirely neglected
by some who have such engines. 1t
would be well to look after the require
ments of the law in this case. The law
is very explicit.
