A ColOred WOmnn's story of the Hang
Ing of John Brown.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
colored woman who figured in an i'm
pcrtant but lowly position in connection
with the breaking out of the rebellion lives
at a. sycamore street, Camden. She is
slxty-two years old, and has remarkable
memory. and relates important incidents
as though they occurred but yesterday.
She Is known as Jane Fossil but she de-
clared that she preferred the name of Han
Eah Bell Douglass, which was given her
wren slave, by her master, a wealthy
Virginian planter. at Harpers Ferry. Va.
In speaking Of the breaking out of the
war. she said:
while we were all at church one Sun
day night was then twenty years old
word was passed around that John Brown
ard twelve others had reached the town
and mad taken possession of the great gun
works and held control of them. The col
ored people rejoiced, but We could not
speak out loud, but met in groups after
church to discuss the matter. We went to
bed feeling that there would be trouble,
and when we awoke the next morning the
place was filled with democrats. They
came by the hundreds from all parts of the
state. Every kind of wagon and train
was loaded with the southern gentlemen
and their helpers
held their ground until o'clock Monday
afternoon. when he was overpowered. The
democrats knew that Brown was coming,
because one Of his supposed sympathiZers
betrayed him, and they were waiting for
the word when he would arrive. The re-
pubicans were not aware of his presence,
or they were afraid Of the army of demo-
Gratis. Had they made determined stand.
there would have been a fair chance for
Mr.. Brown. After he was captured. his
son. unknown to the jailers at Charles
town. visited him daily.
my duty was to look after Mrs. Brown.
a kind. motherly woman, who was kept in
a room at Houses Hotel. There were nine
guards about her. and she was not allowed
to speak to me, but she showed her appre-
citation by stroking my face. My master
selected me to do the cooking for Mrs.
Brown. We all stood with barred heads
when they took the body OF John Brown
from the scaffold, and a great many of US
got pieces Of the scaffold. L lost my piece
about six months ago.
I'VE often repeated the words Mr.. Brown
uttered on the scaffold: That he could not
acc omplish any more than to start the
downfall of slavery, and that a man would
die for every hair in his head was with
my masters family until the war ended,
and was among the first ninety slaves
emancipated and sent to Philadelphia We
scattered in every direction and sought
homes among strangers
She now keeps a small shop, Where she
makes a living selling pies and cakes. Mrs.
Douglass is interesting conversational
list and relates many incidents OF southern
life in connection with the early history OF
the war.

BRIGHT AUTUMN HUE.

Golden Rod, Rich In Color, MakeA
Beautiful the Rural Landscape.
From the New York Herald.
II the golden rod family Of America
ever adopts motto and crest 1t might
we'll include the national motto, E Pluribus
Unum. Eighty different varieties there
are of this gay blossom which floods our
autumn hills with sunshine yet so like are
they that in the eighty the popular eye
probably recognizes only one.
The vigorous claim made by the golden
spray for precedence as the national flower
adds to its beauty in many eyes. Probably
the only regret of many enthusiasts is that
their beloved posy so far forgot itself as to
allow enc branch to stray to England.
This branch does not differ greatly in form
from the early variety so well known here,
belonging. as 1t does. to the great family
of golden rod, but its name is solidago
virga aurea. the word solidago meaning to
make whole. and probably referring to the
hesling properties which are attributed to
this genus.
or the eighty varieties that are native to
the United States forty-two are found in
the northeast. The best-known are the
solidago arguta, which is the first to bios
sem. and is sometimes found in full flower
In the middle of July. The main steam IL
srno 9th. as is also the slender flower stem,
which hears a green!sh-yellow flower that
spreads widely apart and droops. Its
sharply toothed leaf is feather veined, as
the veins sprir outward from each side
Of the middle rib much as the smaller d.
visions Of a feather spring from its quill
The value of the golden blossom as deco
ration at autumn weddings and church festi-
walls Is thoroughly appreciated in town or
country. Nothing Is more imposing In the
way of trimming than banks OF yellow
plumes subdued by the green of ferns. The
whitish damask will only form a background
for the brilliancy of this flower when used
to grace the table, and its lovely color lends
to any room an air of cheer that other fiows
ers fail to give. the enthusiastic love OF the
nation for the golden rod was shown when
this flower and the arbutus were suggested
as competitors for the position of honor as Q
national flower. The expression of the PEG.
pies choice was decisive and the vote was
cast by an overwhelming majority for thu
golden rod.
/ Its blossom greets US first in July: and in
November, when the whole world is a pa.
geant Of beauty, with its gorgeously chang
ing leaves, the bright bloom of the golden
rod it still found in dusty highways.

From the Globe-Democr1t.
Evidence Of what is supposed to have
been a murder committed many years ago
has been brought to light at Elk River.
MINI. During a storm a large oak tree
Lear town was struck by lightning. and.
being hollow. was split open from top to
bottom. AS Alex. Bowers was proceeding
along the road his attention was attracted
by something white within the hollow, and
he made an investigation. He found that
the white objects were small human bones,
like those Of a woman. and that they had
been in the tree so long that they were
ready to fall to pieces. The skull. which
was small. had been crushed in at the top.
as though by a heavy blow on the head.
When the news Of the find was carried to
Elk River 1t was remarked by some Of the
older residents that several years ago q
half-witted girl had disappeared from the
.illage, and that no trace OF her had ever
been found. She had lived with her father
there. and soon after her disappearanon ~
had gone away. This afternoon the D--.-i
were buried.

Thinking Out a Novel.

Hall Caine, author of "The Manx-
man," a book which has had such II
tremendous success in England, des-
cribes the way in which he wrote the
book in this way: "Hardly one pas
sage of it was written with pen in
hand. I used to wake early in the
morning, usually about five o'clock,
prop myself up in bed, and, with
closed eyes, think out my work for the
day, until not only the thing took
shape, but every passage found ex-
preston. About eight o'clock I would
get up and hurricdly write down the
words. This would occupy about an
hour, and then l would do nothing
but read until evening, when spent
another hour in revising or rewriting
what 1 had written in the morning,
and the rest Of the night in planning
the work for the following day. >

Things for the Scrap-Book

A cement that will stand the wear
and tear of use Is something hard to
obtain, but good authority says:
The best cement for joining glass and
metal together is pure alum melted
in an iron spoon held over hot Goals.
As kerosene will not penetrate it, it
is better than plaster of paris for
uniting the bulbofa lamp to its base,
where these are only loose.
Old paint should be cleaned before
repainting, with solution of soda
two ounces dissolved in one quart of
water-applied warm; rinse thor
oughly with clear water.
Keep tea in glass or porcelain jars.
An expert says it is ruined If kept in
metal boxes; therefore the tin can.
lister must go.
Muriatic acid will remove ink
stains from zinc.
A remedy for hiccough that is we'll
nigh lnfalible is to eat lump OF
sugar saturated with vinegar
A rubber Clothes -wringer should be
kept in as even temperature as pos
sible, and especially not exposed to
severe freezing. In cold weather il
should be warmed before using, by
placing over pan of warm water OF
near the range. This is an idea tC
be remembered in the coming months.
