EPISCOPAL BISHOP TRAMPS.

sleeping in barns and a schoo
house, menoing clocks and um
brellas for farmers, arousing the
pity OF the country folk was tb,
way Rt. Rev. Leighton Coleman.
Episcopal bishop of the diocese of
Delaware. spent his annual yact-
ton. The bishop returned abour
midnight, coming bv train from
Harper's Fcrry, w. Va. He grcstly
enjoyed his outing. and after a few
hours sleep resumed hia duties in
Wilmington. Officiating at the
corner stone laying of the Girls
Industrial School of Delaware.
The bishop left Wilmington for
his outing two weeks ago, going to
Martinsburg, w. Va. Then his
tramp into the mountains began /.
He crossed the Blue Mountains
several times, attending court at
Grafton, w. Va, and Tunnelton i.
W. Va, was at a political meeting
being addressed by a candidate for
Congress. The stranger was ia
vlted to make a speech, but the
bishop never takes part in politics.
Bishop Coleman, on his tramp,
wore "a SLOUGH hat, heavy shoes,
long macintosh and carried a
staff. He Travelled in all sorts of
weather over all sorts Of roads.
Frequently as he WAS trudging
along the road some kind hearted
farmer would stop his team and
call to the pedestrian to "jump
aboard" remarking "you are too
old to walk" Aud the farmer
would be amazed when his invita-
ton was declined Others would
stare at him, and he could over
hear rem rrks "lt's a pity that
he has to walk. / wish 1 could
help him."
The bishop is an adept at clock
repairing. Most or his nights
were spent at farm houses, where
the bishop usually paid for a nights
lodging. But sometimes the farmers
would refuse to take pay. Then
the bishop would spy a clock that
was not running, and he would.
quickly repair it, to the delight of
his host. Others would have bro
ken umbrellas, which the bishop
would mend, and he did all sorts
OF tinkeriag jobs about the farms.
Some dark nights, however, the
bishop was not 50 lucky in getting
a good bed in a farmers house in
which to sleep.
AT one place where he knocked
for ad omission he was informed that
the house was full and he could
not even sleep on the floor. So
the bishop journeyed until he came
to a iilapidated looking barn.
Into this he csept and of new hay
he made a bed on which he slept
during the night. the crlckets sing-
ing him into the land Of dreams.
Another night the bishop had
bad luck. He did not know where
to sleep. He, however, fortunately
came upon a school house in a lone
road. The janitor had left the
back window open, and in through
the window the bishop climbed.
He slept for the night on the hard
wooden floor. At one place where
be stopped the family consisted of
a father, mother aud SIX grown
children, non OF them could read
or write. The parents SAID they
were too poor to pay for the
clothes for their children. The
longest distance travelled in n
day was twenty Elk miles, but the
average was about twenty miles,

THE GREAT DlSCOVERER.

ashes OF Christopher Columbus reposc
in the cathedral at Havana, and II
Cuba ever becomes portion OF the
United States the tomb OF the great
discovercr will be on American soil
and under the protection Of the Stars
and Stripes.
Columbus was one Of the most
marked examples of the cruelty and
ingratitude of Spain. He gave that
country a new world and in return it
gave him prison and chains. lie
was Il Genoese by birth, and bysthe
generosity of Queen Isabella was en-
ablcd to take voyage of discovery with
its noted results, but he was cruelty
mistreatcd by the Spanish govern
mcnt he enriched.
The United States has become the
greatest country Of the hemisphere

should be in the land that Washing

Spain has no proper part in Colum
bus. Not only did she maltreat the
great discoverer, but she most shame
fully misused the valuable possessions
that he gave her. His name and fame

A Little Restless.

Natchez Democrat
Some of the colorcd brethren who
arc objects of the bounty benevOlencc
of the grateful U. S. government are
disturbed because of the rllmor, orig
mated by a mischievous wag, that the
payments now being made cx-soldiers
in the late civil war or their heirs are
to be diverted into the hands of the
colorcd volunteers who may engage IN
the present conflict with Spain. The
ackleness and ingratitude OF govern
ments are as proverbial as the un-
gratefulncss Of individuals, yet we do
not believe this great big republic
will forget the sable veterans OF the
sixties for the sake of remembering
the ebony warriors Of 'eS. This scare
is in line with the story Dudley Selpll
has been telling the negroes on the
coast. to the point that the American
and the Spanish warshlps were pro-
vided with huge legs, so that, II nee
cssary, they can come out on shore
land walk around.

.oLD GLoRYn
NAMED IN 1881 BY AN OLD SALEM
SKIPPER.

The flag 1.-THE Stars and Stripes, OF
course) was named "Old Glory" In 1881
by a Salem (Mass.) skipper named
William Driver. He was at that time
captain OF the brig Charles Doggett,
says the Boston Globe. Capt. Driver
was a successful deep-sea sailor, and
was preparing the brig for a voyage to
the Southern Pacific. The story !,
told by the compiler OF the geneal-
ogical memoir Of the Driver family,
Harriet Ruth (Watcrs) Cooke.
Just before the brig left Salem a
young man at the head OF party OF
friends saluted Capt. Driver on the
deck OF the Doggctt, and presented
him with a large and beautifully made
American flag. 1t was done up in stops,
and when sent aloft and broke out to
the air Capt. Driver christcned 1t
"Old Glory" He took it to the South
Pacific, and years after, when old age
forced him to relinquish the sea, he
treasured the flag.
Capt. Driver removed to Nashville,
Tenn, in 1887, and he died there In
1886. Previous to the outbreak OF
hostilities between the North and
the South, "Old Glory" was flung to
the breeze every day from the window
Of Capt. Drivers Nashville house, but
when the bullets began to zip and the
odor of gunpowder to taint the air,
the old flag had to be secretcd.
1t was kept out OF sight inside a
great bed comfortable until February
q, 1852, when Brigadier-Leneral Mel.
sons wing Of the Union army appear
ed in Nashville, and Capt. Driver pre-
scnted it to the General to be h0istcd
on the Capitol. 1t was run up, and
Capt. Driver himself did the hoisting.
He watched it through the night, and,
a heavy wind coming up, he took it
down and sent a new flag up in its
place.
The original sold Glory" was bc-
ginning to ribbon. The second flag
owned by Capt. Driver was given to
the Sixth Ohio when that regiment
left Nashville for home. ltWas placed
, in the rear OF baggage wagon, where
mule noscd it out and dcvoured 1t.
The original "Old Glory" was pre-.
} served, and after the death Of Capt.
Driver, in 1886, it was presented by
the compiler OF the memoir to the
) Essex Institute, at Salem, where 1t
may now be seen.

SHE RAISES SHEEP.

A woman in Virginia Is making
money by raising sheep. She Is d
school teacher, and she has a home,
with some acres OF land which she had
not time to cultivate, but which she
wished to turn to account. She spent
S25, paying SO il head for ewes, and
then turned her flock into her pasture
land. She raised what she could care
for on her land, selling the rest as
soon as they were of marketable age.
She only gave about one hour day to
them, and paid boy so cents week
to keep the sheds clean and the fodder
cut up. She has been in the business
about five years. The first year she
came out $40 ahead OF her experiment.
At the end of the fourth year she had
flock OF sixty ewes, all she could
keep with her pasturage, and in wool
and mutton she found she had clear
